Could we see the full interview please?

There is a recording taken from one of Topper’s drum kit mics where you can hear the “thuds” from when Paul was smashing his bass. Paul had already turned the volume all the way down on his bass itself and that’s why there’s no recording of it from his amp. All the shows they played at the “Bonds Casino residency” were recorded.

I always want correct people for the mispronunciation of the bassist's last name because like they're saying cinnamon wrong😂 but they're saying his name perfect😅Simonon. My brain hates it. I had to read it and see it written out. I had to see it to reconcile hearing it. 😂 Do this day, i still ask for Simonon rolls or Simonon toast😂 Its my own joke so people just think i sound stupid lol
