black midi saying that Ed Sheeren is not a sharp dressed man, than all unanimously rushing to their instruments to play Sharp Dressed Man is so fucking funny 10/10 performance
I don't think it overloaded the mic. If they're using Discord they probably have the Krisp noise suppression on and it literally filtered out everything, which is also hilarious.
It also would have helped if Anthony just didn’t talk because he was drowning them out. Or like the software drowned them out cause he was talking. Honestly mad disrespectful to talk during a performance.
you know it´s a gold interview when - death grips: mentioned - big chungus: mentioned - ac/dc: mentioned - 2006outfits - audio recorded with a 1905 non dynamic microphone - hard rock cafe - greep saying ed sheeran is not a sharp dressed man
This is the best interview of any band I've ever seen. The fact that they just play for you unannounced for free just shows how much they enjoy playing music. Hilarious.
I’m in America (New York State) and I’ve heard of Triple J, but they aren’t too popular here. I think people discover them when they come upon a cover they really like. (For me it was Julia Jacklin’s cover of Someday by The Strokes - chef’s kiss)

They make an effort to be humble, but you can tell they’re feeling themselves and love basking in the critical and popular success they’re getting 😂 and bask they should! It’s well deserved.
I think this is the best interview ive ever seen, ever. How the video unfolds is amazing - when the boys got fantano with some deep questions about really just playing bass and music again, where in life he was when he got invited to do an interview with mick jagger, the experience of being a never ending meme, what qualifies as a 10 for him (thinking records that were surely personal to him).. to picking up the bass and just jamming along and having fun.. Grandpa Needles got real emotional at the end. TBE.
I love that they say about their next album "it's gonna be next level, it's gonna be damn good" I really fucking love that attitude! Their intention is to make the best shit. TBE
I saw this band live in 2017. They supported Preoccupations in London. Never heard of them, but they were so awesome, especially the drummer. Seems that's when they'd just started out and have come a long way since then. I met Preoccupations and got loads of stuff signed by them afterwards as well. Really good gig that one.
I love these interviews but I would love it if melon expanded on the questions. It seems like he's asking questions and moving on quickly without asking follow ups and making it more conversational. Look forward to seeing how he progresses with these though!
@@frackingfluidinjection The truth is, they are probably on LP5. Geordie said they were working on LP4 in an interview before Cavalcade dropped. Geordie also, supposedly, said "Hellfire out this November" a day after Cavalcade dropped on his live. Who knows if that will hold true. He said similar stuff about albums dropping but the album names are true. Also, supposed date is November 16th. Edit: For 2021. He's never been right about dates though so who knows, maybe its true this time.
cavalcade is a fucking fantastically written album with the worst production ive ever heard best writing, worst production i much prefer the KEXP live session than studio release of cavalcade
@@NyanGeneral I am inclined to agree But I've got to say while I'm no audiophile and no wax supremacist The album sounds way better on vinyl than on Spotify and what not for sure But yeah definately prefer the KEXP session still

He’s mentioned them multiple times over the years, but it’s not like people are just going to abandon their favorite format because he doesn’t personally like it I find some of the meme comments pretty funny, so I don’t mind them, especially since they help melon anyway
@@SuperSandwich713 there’s a difference between using a format and just completely copying/repeating something at every perceived proper moment to copy/repeat something
@@surprisinglyroomy Well, yeah. Most people who get upvotes do something at least slightly new, though. They'll redress the format depending on what artist the video is about and any other pertinent context, which keeps the memes versatile

yes
The thing about being the melon, is that he looked older in his 20s but he's plateaued, so now Anthony will legit look 32 until he's 50.
I was thinking the same thing recently watching his older videos haha 32 from 20 - 50 🤙

anthony just because you're interviewing everyone from the windmill scene doesn't mean you'll be forgiven for your crimes against the dutch

They just are a better band
Because they make a music college and they are open mind musicians.

Greep's sigma male grindset is showing TBE
Greep's outfit gives off major late 90s Faith No More vibes.
I was getting Scott Weiland vibes
They give off early 90s FNM vibes in terms of mischief generally which is no bad thing. Even though they sound nothing like them.
i got david byrne vibes
this whole interview is just an episode of the eric andre show with the roles reversed and i fucking love it
It's nice to see that the guys know and respect what Anthony do. Mutual respect is beautiful
