http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=120715 Why are they talking politics? He's not really interested.
I feel bad for any bands who had to be with that interviewer. I watched a few and they all seemed bored and confused.
Worst interview ive ever seen. I feel so bad for Mikael having to sit through such boring torture, i had to turn it off. The interviewers are idiots, they have Mikael sitting there and all they yap about is politics in Canada.
I like to talk politics too, but if I can tell the other person isn't interested or has no clue I take the hint and change the subject.
What point was there to this interview? It's like interviewing Bill Gates and only ask him about paintings, so random.
It is quite interesting what Mikael tells in the last five minutes about people wanting him to save their lives, etc. But I agree: The first 23 minutes are just horrible!!! Don't know, what kind of magazine/website is hardtimes? Is it a political or economical magazine that just wanted to interview a musician or is it indeed a music magazine that just has stupid interwiewers?
Mikael seemed alright through the interview...maybe he was thinking "Man, when is this over?" but it probably was a nice change from all the 'beginner' questions he keeps getting from other interviews.
I thought it was kinda hillarious while being ultimately boring at the same time. Asking him about physics or chemistry or historical dates would be the second step.
