He's a bit shy when he's not on stage cussing, playing, growling, and getting metal heads to move their asses

It's not that he's awkward, he's French and speaking in English which is not his usual language. It takes time to find the right words to speak. You don't want to say the wrong thing and look stupid, right?! He's far from awkward. I'd be awkward in his presence. Beautiful man.

This man has more class and good will than 95% of the celebrities attending the event. The 300 grand he was able to raise no doubt pale in comparison to the spending involved in putting this lil soiree on so American celebrities can pat each other on the back. This is not a Hollywood millionaire doing their 5th Vanity Fair feature. This is a French dude with a guitar trying to save the damn Amazon forest. This should be more important for us, collectively, as a society, than Olivia Rodrigo's teenage heartbreak.

Yknow the interviewers had allot of respect and time for joe…it must be refreshing to talk to someone at an event such as that with something more to say than your typical industry made star. He dosent have to tow a line as much as more mainstream forms of entertainment so it makes it interesting when he could make his band infamous in the mainstream by saying something outrageous and ‘rock n roll’ yet instead choosing to treat these women with sincerity and conversations of compassion as opposed to the usual self aggrandising topic of conversation to be found at a red carpet event
