What Goes On S2 Ep21 - Ross MacDonald (The 1975)

[@natind.c.5904]

I loved this! Ross is my fav member and we don’t get to hear him talk that much so thanks for this :)

[@TrixibelleBento]

I've never heard Ross speak at length like this without Matty's mug in the way. Thanks! It's nice to see him like this.

The year was 2014, and I was working as a artist runner at the Boston Calling festival. I was assigned to pick them up at the airport and be their dedicated driver that night and the next day when they played. Had only heard of them by name, and one of my coworkers had written them off as “kiddie pop.” Ended up hitting it off with them (primarily Matty and George) straightaway. Showed them a bunch of music they’d never heard (like Animals as Leaders) and had a blast hangin with them and tossin back a few pints at the hotel bar when I was done with my shift. Seriously top notch blokes. Saw them play for the first time the next day, and 6 years later they’re one of my all time faves. Know all the words and love each record in different ways. One of the greatest bands of our generation. Thanks for this rare opportunity to hear from Ross. 🙏

[@whatgoeson2201]

You are pretty much the envy of everyone who had listened to this podcast, ha ha! Thanks so much for listening and commenting :)

[@TrixibelleBento]

OMG!!! What a neat opportunity! I'd love to be able to hang with George and Matty. I'd show them what 98 Degrees is all about. LOLOL

[@p1nkn0va]

Wow. This is the most I've heard Rass talk for any interview without the other boys. It was so interesting, sincere and funny at times. Ty for this.

[@natind.c.5904]

Don’t be shy, chat with Adam next

[@rocioaleman2029]

he’d only speak 3 words 😭

[@W4TSKY]

Yes! An interview with Adam would be awesome! Would love to hear him talk about his experiences and geek out over gear and guitar tones

[@Julie-qr9ow]

And George!

[@whatgoeson2201]

....working on it... :)

[@Zixboyyy]

@@whatgoeson2201 finally adam could speak a little longer

[@mattball3448]

Was really hoping Ross' answer to the last question 'What would you say to your younger self?' would be 'growing a beards quite hard and whisky never starts to taste nice!'

[@whatgoeson2201]

Ha ha ha

[@littleuneasy]

I never thought i could finally see Ross doing the interview on his own without the other boys. As far as i can remember, he was the only member who has never doing an interview completely alone. CMIIW. I'm glad to hear The 1975 perspective from Ross' side. This is his band too, after all. Also, the interview with Ross is more enjoyable and fun compared to Matty's lol. Tysm for giving us this! x

[@whatgoeson2201]

Thank you so much for the kind words!!

[@nayliloops]

this is what we all needed! I hope Ross knows that the fans adore him and his talent. His bass playing is what makes The 1975 sound so great

[@rocioaleman2029]

Finally appreciation for the superior member of the group xxx

[@babraconstanzafernandezmun8819]

he is so calm

[@paularavera1277]

THANK YOU for giving us the first solo Ross interview! It was so interesting and entertaining to hear his point of view in their story, tour, and everything else... He's my favorite member and this definitely made my week💞

[@whatgoeson2201]

Thanks so much, Paula! Our pleasure.

[@ebrarthedesigner]

I missed Ross king 😭

[@craigspencer4503]

At the last The 1975 of the decade Indianapolis Dec 13 2019. Ross pounded at least 6 beers. Had a huge smile the whole show. Especially when he had a fresh beer.

[@whatgoeson2201]

Ha ha ha

[@lostmyhead.171]

Thank you so much, love hearing Ross talk

[@whatgoeson2201]

Me too!

[@jcaesarjr5637]

Truly an underrated bassist

[@whatgoeson2201]

Amen to that!

[@auroradiaz5874]

caught this on the day it premiered but felt too shy to comment then because ross is my favorite member! it's so nice to finally see him get a full interview, and especially one where he seemed to be having so much fun! he's got such a nice laugh and my favorite bits were definitely the ones where he talks about being a plant dad and how he basically just knows how to play the bass on the guitar lol. hope I can watch him perform live someday! 💖

[@Laura-ee7zv]

this was such a good interview we need a part two!! (with adam and ross together!!)

[@whatgoeson2201]

We'll see what we can do :)

[@dayutania88]

I watch this over and over again because ross is a fucking hubby material. I'm screaming. and excuse me sir, your voice should be illegal. goddamn I'm on my knees.

[@janeharmer9295]

Beautiful guy ! Great interview Ross ! ❤

[@jan4silv4]

I love this man so much!!! we need a part two! pleaseee (with george)

[@BrandonHurn]

As a viewer who would love the opportunity to interview Ross about his musical experiences and the 1975/his role, I feel to say that "you didn't have time" to listen to his album prior to the interview is quite a wasted opportunity and disrespectful.

[@WinkyDink]

Fantastic interview. Really enjoyed this. :)

[@whatgoeson2201]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Zixboyyy]

Ross is so cool

[@sofieandersen1576]

Thank you for this!! I finally had the time to listen to all of it and it was so good

[@whatgoeson2201]

Thanks, Sophie - Glad you enjoyed it! It's also on iTunes etc. if you don't need the video :)

[@bernies17]

King Ross!

[@ana.cristina297]

Ross is so intelligent omg

[@drewjamila3868]

Good to know a famous musician loves to have a plant on his backyard. In that perspective atleast he is a human being.

[@whatgoeson2201]

Even if he can't keep them alive, ha ha ha.

[@drewjamila3868]

He can. There's no signs of opening yet in the UK, so that will be his hobby as of the moment haha

[@nataliagarcia3276]

ilysm Ross we missed u

[@dianevierra781]

this was a really cool conversation! nice job, you guys!

[@hurc888]

Saw them in Las Vegas, so gooooood!

[@daphneblue13]

"how many albums you've done now? four? five?" ross: this is the... *started processing the question with a confused face* dude forgot how many albums his own band has made. what a dork!

What is Camper instead of Amps?

[@TrixibelleBento]
