The question You Me At Six + All Time Low hate most

Josh Franceschi and Alex Gaskarth talk stripper poles and wooden dongs

 

One of the biggest British rock tours so far this year, You Me At Six and All Time Low play London's O2 Arena tomorrow night (14 February). To mark the occasion, we asked frontmen Josh Franceschi and Alex Gaskarth what interview question they hate being asked the omost.

Despite a long day of press, there is only one query that causes All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth concern.

"One of my least favourite questions in general for interviews is 'What's your craziest tour story?'" he says with a smile. Franceschi chips in: "There's no way of answering it without sounding like a complete twat." 

Naturally, when asked by Gigwise subsequently for some of the strange gifts each band has received from fans, the perfect "crazy tour story" does emerge. Gaskarth's tale involves the use of a telescopic stripper pole while on the move. "We tried to put it up in the bus. It ended up ripping out of the ceiling. Someone got hurt because they were on it."

Franceschi in turn reveals how the gift of an XBox 360 gave one lucky You Me At Six fan a lifetimes worth of concert tickets - only for Gaskarth to trump everything with a tale involving trying to take an Indonesian "giant wooden dick" through Japanese customs.
