I'm 59 yrs old , an super fan of Depeche Mode, Cure and so on. Fontaines DC makes me feel young again. Alive . Romance is surely the BEST album on 2024 ❤
Something about this guy..... there's a natural star quality about him.... I honestly thought real music was done but yet again we have been blessed with a prophet of the Arts..... can not wait to see what this guy and the band are going to give us
I’m 51 years old I heard this band a few years ago and I also saw them at altogether now festival Co Waterford and I introduced them to my now 19 old son he absolutely loves them and thy are a big influence in his own music career now I have always told him music should also be a message
Well said, I agree music should just be more than a romantic boy chase girl / vice versa story telling. Through music, you should convey a message, your ideology and Philosophy on how you perceive life, for example
I'm 48 and this is the first band in my adult life to give me the same feeling I had as a teenager discovering new music. I will forever be grateful to Grian and co. for this.
This is like The Sun newspaper or rag. You can see Grian's well versed, being himself & smiling all of a sudden there's something wrong 😂😂😂 great tune dont know about the new look but whatever floats your boat, nice touch with the family 🎵🇮🇪🎵
@@MimiYouyu signs of selling out serving the agenda girls clips in ya barnet mate and a skirt. Its far from rock n roll His poetry and songs have some form cognitive dissonance with the inage i see before me here Music lyrics and their inspiration from this band all awesome but i look at the image of this video and my brain says sell out to that PRIDE agenda
To be honest I don’t think this interview was as bad as everyone is saying, yeah it was slightly awkward but I think overall groan got to put his points across
English witt and Irish witt are completely different, especially Dublin witt... Inner city dubs are the most honest, funny and genuine people you could ever meet.... and im a meath man/ culchie!
@Canwepleasehavefun1 I know, he was born in England but has spent more time in ireland and classes himself as a dublin man and he's never lied and said he was born in ireland so there's no fabrication at all, just great music.
@pilgrim3387 yes I totally agree, there are so many British comedians that we irish love but witt and banter are completely different to stand up comedians so I disagree that we have similar witt, both funny but different. It would be boring if we were all the same 😁
From across the pond, here, so I have no point of reference for Jools' performance, but it didn't seem more awkward than any other senior person trying to talk to someone 50 years younger than themselves 😜 Grian's rather quick though with calling his dad out for more football cards 😂😂😂
i can't believe jools still has a job. decades of cringe interviews. still an employee of the BBC. unbelievable - so many people would love to have his job and would do it so much better.
I don't know this Jools person but he seems a bit fuddy-duddy. 😅 I'm Gen X and I thought the responses from Grian were charming, funny, and thoughtful. Hello from California! 😎🌴
Yeah. Love Fontaines DC. Grian is a visionary poet. Jools was a bit of a dick in this interview. Oh you collect mud. Wtf? Grian responded with sincerity and authenticity. Respect. Irish roots.
Bit of historical trivia for the uninitiated - Grian's accent in Ireland is known as a 'Pale' accent. It comes from the days when the British colonised the area around Dublin. A lot of Dublin natives still speak with an English twang on some words - here, you can hear it when he says the word 'record'.
Seems like they fired the stylists 😂 In all serious though I'd be interested to know if there's anything more to the new aesthetic for the band other than perhaps taking the piss out of the indie rock, cool look.
Great band for sure, I found Grian a bit arrogant but maybe out of shyness, interesting interview though full of Irish wits and tongue in cheek humour, but it's amazing that Ireland produces many interesting musicians for such a small country.
@@bigbrainmcflurry2425I feel like people say this to jump on the cool bandwagon now. Old U2 had some absolute bangers with great lyrics. Like all great bands they've had their day but they have some classics. Each to their own. It's all art
Most Irish people don't like U2 check out Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan & Mick Flannery 3 great artists that come to mind, also Whipping Boy the album Heartworm is a treasure 🎵🇮🇪🎶
Grian makes the interview difficult by being a bit disrespectful in his manner. Take your hand away from your mouth when you speak and stop smirking and looking away when asked a question. If he doesn't want to be interviewed he should just stick to the music which is great tbf.
Not everyone is 100% comfortable in interviews, especially not with a live audience. That behaviour might be nervousness. He might want to do interviews, and he might want to get better at it, but in order to do so you need to do lots of interviews to get more comfortable. No reason to judge his behaviour when you don’t know the reason behind it.
Its common trendy moody teenager music, attached to it a sense of superiority of an ncad kiddie who thinks he knows too much. Its good like, but not as good as its made out.
Grian just answered Jools questions on how he sees the world, nothing wrong with that, great band, one of our modern-day poets in the making❤ 🇮🇪
0:12 what a douche
I'm 59 yrs old , an super fan of Depeche Mode, Cure and so on. Fontaines DC makes me feel young again. Alive . Romance is surely the BEST album on 2024 ❤
Agreed . Also big DM and Cure fan and this album is a classic.
Right there with you!
You took the words from my mouth.
I’m 68, saw The Cure and Depeche Mode last year. I feel you with this band. They’re special!
Agreed. While just a little younger they fit with Depeche Mode and Cure and so.on

That first joke went really unappreciated
Just found this band, Favorite is just beautiful!
If people think this was a bad interview they’re just not used to listening to a intelligent, creative person talk. Nothing wrong with it.
Watching him try to be witty was exhausting
His a poet in conversation
No, he is embarrassed and cant string it together. Signs of something up.
@@MimiYouyuthere’s nothing up. He’s been like this since the beginning 😂 he’s an awkward guy
@@MimiYouyu Something is up, he's a pretentious guy who's trying to sound deep.

Different frequencies
I love his deep sounding voice 🥺
This interview made me watch Black Books again!
He had a Bernard Black vibe in this interview! 😆
Great interview. Love it
I love this band’s aesthetic. It’s off the charts.
i would be bursting with pride if that was my son
To be honest I don’t think this interview was as bad as everyone is saying, yeah it was slightly awkward but I think overall groan got to put his points across
He's a curious soul. These sort of people weren't meant for televised interviews.
It was a petfect interview
He’s such a poet it’s actually funny 😂.
English witt and Irish witt are completely different, especially Dublin witt... Inner city dubs are the most honest, funny and genuine people you could ever meet.... and im a meath man/ culchie!
He's not from inner city Dublin mate total fabrication
I don't agree with that. We would have a similar witt, I'd say. Some of the best bbc comedies would be loved by the irish.

@@daveghehe7646 he's from skerries in north county Dublin not inner city Dublin
Absolutely special band with WISDOM in the air...LOVE THIS BAND A LOTTIE 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
They are brilliant!!
Since discovering this band I've always wondered if Grian collected snow globes. Glad jools cleared that one up for me
Grians actually funny. love him
Jools swings the keys off the board, but Jayzuz, as an interviewer - pure class to Grian for stickin through.
In a world where people morphing into clones of each other this artist just shines! Proud 💚☘️💚☘️
Jools missed so many points. What a bright talented young man Grian is.
From across the pond, here, so I have no point of reference for Jools' performance, but it didn't seem more awkward than any other senior person trying to talk to someone 50 years younger than themselves 😜 Grian's rather quick though with calling his dad out for more football cards 😂😂😂
Grian I love him...😍
“A snow globe? Like one that you shake?” poor interview from Jools. Watch grian’s interview with John Kelly, much more insightful and honest
Beautiful man!
Its like a scene from Peep Show. Perfect.
Saw them playing in Connolly s of Leap ,West Cork 2018 to crowd of 100-150 . Knew then they were going places, the spark was there and lit.
Different frequencies."Do you collect anything?"
Grian a strange mix of profound and silly.
Not even an awkward interview in my opinion. Jools seems a little out of touch but the vibe was decent.
What a cheeky interview!
This guy's a trip.
I love Jools Holland but he was poor here. Grians putting a great deal of thought and wit into his answers and isnt getting much back
Nah he’s doing alright… I don’t understand the hate or anything from this interview.
Lads this is grand
stop fucking moaning about Jools, you know he's like this in every interview and tbh still gets good answers out of guests
Grian flexing his look and his countrymen in smoothest way possible, hahaha
An Irish poet
Dead atmosphere, they don't gel together at all
Peculiar hearing the audience laugh in that setting though.
Jools has been interviewing musicians for 40 years and is still absolutely awful at it.
Grian was on fire . Man Jools really let himself down here
i can't believe jools still has a job. decades of cringe interviews. still an employee of the BBC. unbelievable - so many people would love to have his job and would do it so much better.
Grian comes off as a bit too cool for school I think
Bizarre interview. Maybe jools was thrown off by Grian's outfit.
I don't know this Jools person but he seems a bit fuddy-duddy. 😅 I'm Gen X and I thought the responses from Grian were charming, funny, and thoughtful. Hello from California! 😎🌴
Yeah. Love Fontaines DC. Grian is a visionary poet. Jools was a bit of a dick in this interview. Oh you collect mud. Wtf? Grian responded with sincerity and authenticity. Respect. Irish roots.
I think most of us Irish are carrying our baggage, used to being at the far end of this historical prejudice.
Bit of historical trivia for the uninitiated - Grian's accent in Ireland is known as a 'Pale' accent. It comes from the days when the British colonised the area around Dublin. A lot of Dublin natives still speak with an English twang on some words - here, you can hear it when he says the word 'record'.
Hence ‘beyond the Pale’
It also might be because one his parents is English
@@stellag.1166Exactly 😂
fun irish chit chat
Compliments was a good answer 🤙😇🫒
The snowglobe part is probably a reference to radio free alice
Seems like they fired the stylists 😂 In all serious though I'd be interested to know if there's anything more to the new aesthetic for the band other than perhaps taking the piss out of the indie rock, cool look.
Sometimes people just like to dress the way they do idk if you ever had a style that wasn't just a shirt and jeans babes?
Talk about DC Fontaine.
Knee Cap.
Merely Streek.
The Scratch.
Tv Series like Bodkin & Kin some interesting thing happening in Ireland at the moment.
You’re missing Static Vision from Limerick. Best upcoming band.
Jools is such an awkward freak here 😵💫 Grian way too quick and charming
Great band for sure, I found Grian a bit arrogant but maybe out of shyness, interesting interview though full of Irish wits and tongue in cheek humour, but it's amazing that Ireland produces many interesting musicians for such a small country.
"people just keep on gunning" to "rhyme running running running"
I need to get the snow globe
One day Jools..... One day 🫒😇
From an American perspective I didn’t see Jools come off as disrespectful or awkward, he just tried to be witty.
Nothing wrong with this interview? I enjoyed it.
thought this was a neat interview, just different senses of humour between the two
FDC is the greatest music to come out of Ireland since U2.
U2 suck
@@bigbrainmcflurry2425I feel like people say this to jump on the cool bandwagon now. Old U2 had some absolute bangers with great lyrics. Like all great bands they've had their day but they have some classics. Each to their own. It's all art

@@aidanlyons5708 damien rice is extremely talented
Jools had a stinker here
Well lads there you have it. You might be tempted to shake a snow globe but you better not put Romance on shuffle mode. It's a continuous piece.
So weak from Jools in places
What the fuck man? Chill 😂
@voice2-of-reason Been doing it for 30 years and is asking him if he collects things like snow globes...
Ughhh his accent🥵🥵
The 90s alt girl punk band look. Excellent band though
What a gas man
Grian is a funny man tbf
He’s shy for sure in this context and circumstances……
❤
I like Fontaines DC but can anyone explain their sudden change of style?
Just signed to XL Records
i’m really worried. something doesn’t seem right……..
Lol why
he's so hot
soooo hot

I guess he does,yet to meet a talent that's not a bit aloud,,

I think he was just like kinda flirting, and jools didn’t catch it
State of it
Jools has problems with certain personalities, check out his interactions with morrissey
If he has problems with brexit narcissist Morrissey then I assume he must be a good guy after all.
@@PriHLwell, couldn't disagree with you there, Johnny!Johnny! Johnny fucking Marr.
@@williamking4599 Johnny Marr is ok.
Odd interview, mind you Chatten is clearly an awkward customer.
He's trying too hard for my liking to be eccentric, to actually be eccentric. It's all show. Some great music all the same.
Disappointingly generic convo, and the hairpins, ctfo dude
Trying to recreate the noel interview a little
Awkies
Born in Barrow in Furness 👍🍺
Wat in the name of feck is he wearing?
Not so bad what he's wearing moreso the cringe jokes, not being himself and trying to act cool. Made a tit out of himself.
Its common trendy moody teenager music, attached to it a sense of superiority of an ncad kiddie who thinks he knows too much. Its good like, but not as good as its made out.
It's not even good music and the NCAD cool kid vibe is being rewarded, feeding in to their narcissism.
Jesus this was awkward!
Jools has never been a great interviewer. Have watched this since the 90s and these chats are often the weakest parts of the show.
Jools seems a bit humourless here
Lose the hair clips, jez. Is that a skirt?
His parents look like they gave birth to him at 16
2hair clips really plummeted this band in my standing.. idk.. just being honest.. corny.
The band seems like they are super into themselves and without good reason.
Anyone would struggle to interview Grian when he talks as much as shite as he did here.
All of Jools interview are washed
is that new look a humiliation ritual? 😂
Bloody Hell
They not onl imitate Our Music
But ALSO OUR STYLES ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Awkward interview 😂
Not fond of new look
State of that
Holland has always been a terrible interviewer.
