Fontaines D.C. on surviving tour: ‘Eventually you're going to hate what you’re doing’

[@tomharper7335]

Big up Curley for doing all the press this tour, keep at it lad.

[@giorgiocannella7514]

love the camera movement in this interview. good job

[@moutonvincent]

What a great interview. Both interviewer and subject make this. Kudos to both.

[@rokaxiv]

love this with the music playing in the distant background

[@Whattheheckdude02]

Do u know the song name ?

[@RC-fi8nn]

Refreshingly honest and open interview.

[@cjsilvestremusic]

What a great interviewer. What Curley said about “musicians reintroducing the same feelings over and over again” was so profound and it means that this band will never try to repeat something just because it was successfully received. This is the reason why I fell out of love for Muse’s music. It’s all about politics that it got sickening and repetitive.

[@c.r.bouton1842]

The politics never really bothered me with Muse, it was more about how they didn't talk about it intelligently or specifically that bothered me. It's annoying tbh

[@Patrick-qt8iy]

that and how muse's quality of lyrics and songwriting in general fell off massively after The Resistance

[@YCTR]

Great interview. Great band. Great host. Great questions and really love the video / audio on this too

[@doctornov7]

What a beautifully conducted and filmed interview! Thanks and love from the UK x

[@Romany1111]

Good to hear Curly singing more on Romance. Great record with fantastic production. Hope they do take a bit of a break so they can stay fresh.

[@andrewfouts]

Well shot interview mates. Curley is the man

[@georgeparnell6026]

Great interviewer

[@3voor12]

Thanks! She's Sagid Carter, the host of our radio show 3voor12 Radio and the podcast called 'Uncut Interviews with Sagid Carter'

[@garethebbs4628]

What a superb interview.

[@pedrokronbauer6722]

Very nice interview. You should upload some of their performances at the festival.

[@kirccohen6003]

Thank you!

[@glengamble526]

Every time I even remotely start to ‘hate’ what I’m doing, I remind myself that punching in and out at a factory was living hell. If you’re lucky enough to make a living at music, enjoy it. Suck it up and realize you live a privileged life. Yes, it’s hard work…but not a job.

[@minutemanual]

I disagree. Once the honeymoon period is over its just like any other job. Its not a constant party you have to really battle to get the gigs done. When its great its great but most of the time its a lot of minutiae that you have to power through. the privilege is creating and sharing with others. The tour is a very straining job. Harder than factory work thats for sure. I guarantee most touring musicians have many crisises where they strongly consider packing it all in and have to be convinced by many stakeholders to not do it and im sure it pushes peoples sanity to the limits. At that point the money and success starts to seem trivial

[@glengamble526]

@@minutemanual respectfully, I disagree. As a touring musician with I’ve 35 years experience, there’s not a day that passes that I’m not grateful for not being trapped in the 9-5 ‘other side’ of life.

[@bitchyivyonvideo]

i think its both. its not all parties, its exhausting, but overall anything with creative energy and human connection is going to be far, far better than an office job or 9 to 5. probably more mentally and physically confusing though, arguably

[@monstermunch4956]

I don’t know what it is but I really like the interviewer. Love how it’s filmed too and she seems lovely. Am I in love… did we just become best friends?

[@nataliee9]

Curley said they were going to play In ár gcroíthe go deo that night... But they didn't, unfortunately.

[@julietteverschuren4433]

💜 No, but it was an incredible setlist nevertheless! And I thought it suited well with the atmosphere and sound at the festival..✌

[@heyya99]

Thought it was Big Shot he said they'd play that night

[@shindeirunani]

@@heyya99 he mentioned it at the end, time constraints on stage was probably was a factor

[@bgierat]

He reminds me of Brian Jones from the Stones. Very cool guy. Great band!

[@chielklaver]

Hallo, is het optreden van Fontaines dc op bks nog ergens online terug te zien?

[@davidh.8798]

Fontaines DC would surely love Deus, wouldn't they?!! Get on it, lads!!

[@23Dakini]

Curley looks a bit like Norman Reedus here.

[@DrPhil-pw2to]

Mayo?

[@hermannbunde2716]

Looks like the lad from stranger things

[@dealerdeflores4191]

I thought this was the guy in Stranger Things.

[@alperyenilmez6506]

New Ron Asheton..

[@22grena]

A '666' necklace is extremely bad karma. There is a reason Black Sabbath wear crosses. Be careful Curly.

[@23Dakini]

Yes, I agree with you about the 666 necklace. Grian has the same number stamped onto his head in the “Starburster” video.

[@jonathanluney9856]

This guy is in heroin

[@DrPhil-pw2to]

In heroin is something I’ve never heard of before. Is it as dangerous as being on “heroin”?

[@bgierat]

Reason?!

[@Re-bl5sr]

What on earth are you on about? Without a source you're just talking shite in fairness.
