Other than meeting Lars Ulrich, when were you last starstruck?
Mike: First time I met Ben.
Ben: It was an intimidating moment for him I know. I was wearing a cape and trying to lasso a bottle of water with a hoover. True story!
What’s the weirdest gift you’ve got from a fan?
Mike: We haven’t received any gifts from anyone...
Ben: Banana bread. And she came back the next day with muffins.
Mike: They are the only two gifts. So far it’s only been bakery goods.
Ben: They’ve both been great.
Mike: This light in my face: I feel like I’m the Bohemian Rhapsody video. Is this all part of your plan.
It’s an intimidation tactic.
Mike: Well, it’s not working!
Describe your worst ever show?
Mike: Hasn’t happened yet: but it will do in an hour and a half.
Ben: It’s going to be awful.
What musical trend needs to die out right now?
Mike: None: I hate death: it’s horrible isn’t it? Let’s just make more things - don’t let any of it die.
