[@Depacr]

My love for these men is endless. I’m so thankful a band like this exists in these times.

[@DarkAngelEU]

Punk never dies.

[@deanbrereton1809]

So right, great people indeed

[@armandoarrojo9841]

Sanguin PUNK WILL NEVER FUCKING DIE

[@xxxnsfw]

for real, they mean a lot to me. i can't believe they showed up in my life just in time.

[@Basstank]

Me too. ❤️👍

[@ohraisins]

Fuck what a great interview. So wonderful to see such a visceral intense live band being so thoughtful and onto it. Looking forward to the Auckland show!

[@thomasandrewclifford]

Nice to see Joe has got a Frightened Rabbit tattoo, i'm assuming, after Scott's passing. :( Working on my own tattoo to commemorate him and his effect on me. Just nice to see one gifted musician in solidarity with the loss of another.

[@akespt]

A really great interview. Love it.

[@elliotscullion1238]

Rockin' a grimes T :D

[@sunnysyl7]

Wow this is a good interview

[@bearheart2009]

Haha! That song at the end is George Doors.

[@lucaspeyret]

I love them

[@AnUnbotheredQueen]

Amazing band

[@andyharrier]

Put the damn Mic cord behind and between them!! Fire the sound guy lol

[@r.m.4228]

I couldn't continue watching after the first answer 😁 Everything's being said!

[@nataliecoleman1560]

i was talking to a moth the other evening he was trying to break into an electric light bulb and fry himself on the wires why do you fellows pull this stunt i asked him because it is the conventional thing for moths or why if that had been an uncovered candle instead of an electric light bulb you would now be a small unsightly cinder have you no sense plenty of it he answered but at times we get tired of using it we get bored with the routine and crave beauty and excitement fire is beautiful and we know that if we get too close it will kill us but what does that matter it is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while so we wad all our life up into one little roll and then we shoot the roll that is what life is for it is better to be a part of beauty for one instant and then cease to exist than to exist forever and never be a part of beauty our attitude toward life is come easy go easy we are like human beings used to be before they became too civilized to enjoy themselves and before i could argue him out of his philosophy he went and immolated himself on a patent cigar lighter i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity but at the same time i wish there was something i wanted as badly as he wanted to fry himself

[@willthornton4391]

yer but no but yer but no but waaass wrongwith james bond, some one has to shoot the bad guys.

[@lpenalosa]

Broccoli has more charm than this interviewer XD

[@nicholasbean7637]

Weird seeing Mark clothed

[@michaelgustat9277]

"STFU. Just suffer silently." :D

[@ob2395]

Fair play it’s his second language, but boy this interviewer is intense. So many awkward moments. Joe and Mark handle it well though, legends in the making.

[@DarkAngelEU]

"But don't you also talk about negative aspects like Brexit?" "Yeah, very negative. We also talk about drugs, death and violence."

[@DarkAngelEU]

Also, I can't help but noticing that the close-up has Mark's knee in focus but not his nor Joe's faces. If you couldn't already tell by the very boy scoutish looks of these nillywillies, they really don't have a clue of what they're doing.

[@fr4nc3s92]

Yeah I feel at some point the guy interviewing them has no clue what they are saying and asked questions about things he has misunderstood. Good attemp though lol

[@spacetime66]

@The Worlds Okayest Dad what a stupid stereotype answer, that's how racism starts, the idles would reply" he's made of you, he's made of me - Unity!"

[@DomHowardsFluoPants]

Joe lowkey reppin Grimes ahah. Great interview, lovely lads

[@Beastify9pointO]

pretty high key, its right on the front of his shirt

[@anthonykey9706]

Thanks boys listening to you affirms some of my outlooks on life and opens me up to some great new ways to live and view the world true role models

[@brettnovelli2857]

Is joe wearing a grimes shirt lol

[@dashing932]

That Grimes shirt damn

[@ebmdude]

very german interviewer

[@jurianbijman2972]

Great interview, shame about the sound problems throughout.

[@ShoutLoudTV]

jurian bijman Thanks! Yes, we had some kind of a loose contact at the one mic. We hope it works better for the future :)

[@derektrotter4287]

jurian bijman really could you not hear the content??? Get a life.. instead of posting benign comments

[@noneya2066]

Fuckin’ trains eh. Wait for one then….. Oh yeah it’s started to cut out. Bummer. Well, 4 years later…. all is fine. Bet that gaffer works at a sandwich shop now.

[@nataliecoleman1560]

James Bond misogyny personified. F**k and duck culture. Personally I think it should be left in the past. DC is the last JB and no other actor should want to play that role. When’s the last time you saw an Aston martin or had a martini shaken not stirred. I grew up with all these male ideologies that frankly just don’t sit right anymore. Chin up buttercup. Grayson Perry is a game changer. My dad cried after my little brother died and because of my mums reaction to his grief I saw men crying as weak. I’ve only just learnt that it’s ok for anyone to cry. How messy was my view of vulnerability and how sick Is the man up culture?

[@noneya2066]

You alright mate? I’ve sent you a gift 🎉 -tadaaa

[@nataliecoleman1560]

@@noneya2066 think I was having a bit of a bad day. I’m not normally so opinionated

[@georgemoore4068]

Wow the interviewer looks so pissed off

[@krimsomghost]

Can someone tell me the exact model of shoes that Joe is wearing?

[@MsJbs05]

I think it's Adidas USA 84

[@kevinryan1359]

I'm an American and I changed my political party from Republican to Independant after listening to Joy as Act of Resistance. Maybe Ill go Democrat after the next album. 👌👍

[@hannahbookless5685]

this is the best interview i've ever seen

[@holdenwait]

sock rolid

[@NineteenEighty8]

joe has so much charisma, its deadly.

[@JEHNLEROY]

Anybody know what kind of adidas’ these lads are wearing??

[@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945]

Adidas Spezial Fantastiche

[@thomaspostgate1222]

That baked potato reference is gold, it’s from shooting stars n my mum used to sing it all the time

[@sunnysyl7]

I love Mark

[@nimusworks5475]

18:24..ahhh, beautiful

[@PanpolarParanoidPolaroid]

End of the interview, they were spelling again!

[@noneya2066]

For a band that certainly never had media training, these guys are perfectly eloquent, erudite, smart fellas that know how to throw it down. Same today.

[@tubytootoo]

If you only watch 15 seconds of this interview, make it the last 15 seconds.

[@nkunku5142]

joy as an act of resistance.. thank you for the demonstration.. ;-)

[@mozartszn]

люблю grimes?

[@konstantinjarkov]

Ну да

[@brunovazquez1]

A child's mind asks an adult child questions.

[@r.m.4228]

Warum. sind. deutsche. Interviews. immer. so. peinlich und langweilig!?

[@mionami9973]

keine Ahnung, finde sie in der Regel schrecklich

[@georgemorris462]

:)

[@Blaver]

[@Plastiquesmile01]

What a great interview. Thanks for this x

[@ShoutLoudTV]

Plastique Smile Thanks a lot, too! :)

[@letmetellyalilstory9122]

Anyone know what Adidas trainers Joe is wearing?

[@Luk3yTboy]

i would also love to know the answer to this question

[@NoukSilver]

I think they're either Sambas or Originals from the Great Britain series.

[@CullensFIFA]

they are Adidas Roms

[@NoukSilver]

Roms don't have the brown soles tho.

[@ProdigalJunkie]

adidas indoor super

[@dedadoe]

I was having a discussion with a friend the other day about IDLES lyrics. We both agreed that the lyrics were pretty naive but after looking up an interview of these men-boys I undiestandy. Tour with Cocaine Piss would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
