Tämä haastattelu on lisätty Heatin sivuille 23.11. Tämä on erittäin kiva haastattelu, kun mitään ei ole pätkitty pois. :) Ajattelin, että tämä on aika helppolukuinen, niin sopiiko jos en tätä suomenna? Jos joku kuitenkin kaipaa suomennosta, sanokaa ihmeessä niin voin suomentaa. :)
Now read heatworld's newMcFly interview IN FULL!
Being
big fans of McFly ourselves, we knew that you'd all want to know every word that
came out their lips yesterday. So, we've put up the whole interview just for you
to enjoy. Don't say we never do anything for you...
Tell us about today.
What have you been up to?
Tom: We’ve been doing a Celebrity Masterclass,
where we’ve been trying to pass on some knowledge to a group of 26 people...
Danny: [Interrupting] 26 youths.
Tom: We’ve been talking about our
career over the last six years. It’s been good talking about the bits of our job
most people don’t get to see, like the behind-the-scenes stuff. Like, coming up
with ideas for videos, or the album artwork, or recording...
Harry: Yeah, it
was good. We first of all talked about how we got into it, how it all started
for us, our journey, how we all met, and our record deal. All that kind of
thing, and then we split them into three groups, and first we talked about
song-writing and lyrics...
Tom: We did a breakdown of our song Lies,
explained all the lyrics and how we came up with it. Normally we don’t get to
say, really.
Harry: Then we set them a challenge to rewrite the lyrics to
Lies, the verse and the chorus, in pairs, and then in each group they chose the
best lyrics to perform.
Tom: They did good, didn’t they? It was only, like,
an hour.
Danny: It was really, really good.
Harry: That was our thing,
Tom was saying about their song-writing and lyrics and coming up with ideas, you
have to dare to suck, just get out there and do it. Don’t be afraid. They did
really well with it, and to just get up there and sing...it was awesome. Me and
Danny talked to the groups about production and recording an album, and Tom and
Dougie talked about the creative side of things, while Tommy our tour manager
talked to them about touring and stuff, so they got an insight into everything.
In the end, the guys [Tom and Danny] played them a little tune (Falling In Love
– it was amazing), and it was a good day.
Do you think that a lot of
kids assume the way to get famous is to do The X Factor or similar?
All:
Yeah.
Tom: That’s the thing. I think a lot of them were kind of surprised by
how much work goes into it. You know, hearing about how, when we’re writing
songs like now, when we’re writing songs for our next album, already we’re
coming up with what the next tour stage is going to look like, or what the
artwork’s going to be like.
As this point, the boys get distracted by a
signed picture of them on the table (the same one you can see above). Danny has
noticed that Harry is “popping out” on the end, and finds it very funny...
Danny: Harry’s just popping out of there! That’s the worst picture ever.
All crack up.
Harry: I can’t believe they did that to me! Why did they
do that?
Tom: [Laughing] It’s like a panto photo!
Danny: It’s like your
picture when you work at GMTV.
All crack up again.
Harry: I could be a
GMTV presenter...
Danny: You could with that!
Tom: That should be your
Twitter profile picture!
All laugh.
Harry: I look like Ben Shephard!
Dougie: You do, yeah, I think that’s it.
heatworld: There’s nothing
wrong with looking like Ben Shephard...
Danny: I’m Tweeting about this
interview!
After we’ve all compared who has the most followers on
Twitter and talked about how good Harry looks in a cricket jumper, we get back
on track...
Do you think you’re good role models for young people?
Danny: I can roll quite a long way...
All fall about laughing.
Danny: A forward-roll model!
Harry: I think we are.
Dougie: I think
so, yeah.
Harry: We’re quite well-behaved.
Danny: That’s quite a tough
question.
Tom: I think we are, in comparison to other people. I think the
fact that we work hard at our job means a lot. Obviously a certain amount of
luck is involved, and we have a one-in-a-million type job, but it does take a
lot of hard work to do this. We sit somewhere in the middle of a pop boy band
and the creativeness of a rock band. We have the best of both worlds.
Danny:
The best of both, like the bread.
Tom: Like that middle advert. It’s good to
be in the middle. We’re semi-skimmed milk, that’s what we are.
Has there
been one bit of advice, throughout your career, that you’ve always remembered?
Harry: When you’re going through hell, just keep going. I love that quote.
Dougie: When you’re going through hell, just keep going?
Harry: Just
keep boshing it. Just bosh it! Epic, isn’t it?
Dougie: That is cool. Who’s
it by?
Harry: Winston Churchill.
Danny: That is cool!
Harry: That
makes it even cooler.
Tom: I think I’ve seen that on Call Of Duty 2.
Harry: I remember Robbie Williams at The Brit Awards after-party, me and
Dougie were talking to him and he said something really nice and gave us some
advice. He was like, “Enjoy yourselves.”
Dougie: Be the band you want to be,
not the band you think you are. Tom Delonge from Blink 182 told us that.
Harry: Dougie loved that!
Dougie: I loved it. I went home and was like,
‘Yessss!’ I got an erection.
All laugh.
heatworld: You got an erection?!
Dougie: [Laughing] Nah...
Danny: We can’t take you anywhere, can we?
Has there been one person who has been the best teacher for you guys?
Harry: We’ve kind of learnt along the way and been there for each other.
We’ve always been together.
Dougie: We kind of taught each other as well. If
I started being a bit of a knob, then I know one of these [gestures around the
room] would tell me.
Tom: Our management have been great, too.
Harry:
You know, we enjoy it, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Danny:
Well, we do take it seriously.
Harry: We take it seriously, but we don’t
take ourselves too seriously. We take what we do very seriously.
Dougie: We
don’t think we’re the most amazing band in the world...
Danny: Yeah we do!
Harry: [Deadpan] We do.
Dougie: We’re not like, I am legend.
Danny:
[Laughing] I am London!
Tom: We are my favourite band, that’s true.
[Laughing] We’re amazing. I think I would really like myself, if I wasn’t
myself.
Dougie: But every time you see yourself on TV, you always go, ‘Oh
no,’ like that.
Tom: I hate myself on TV.
Danny: I think I’d be really
jealous of McFly.
Harry: I wouldn’t.
Danny: I’d be like, ‘They’re so
scabby.’ I’m so jealous.
Tom: Look at those poor talentless twerps – how did
they make it?
Harry: I wouldn’t like you if you said the word ‘twerps’!
Dougie: I love ‘twerp’.
Danny: Makes me think of a Twirl. Mmmm.
Harry: Do you think if you were exactly the same person, but you looked
different and you met you, do you think you’d like yourself?
Tom: I’d be
jealous of their normal chin.
Harry: No, you’re the guy with the normal
chin.
Tom: Oh... Then I’d probably hate him.
Harry: I think I’d think I
was quite classic. [Laughs.]
Do you think you’d ever do anything like
this again? Another masterclass?
Harry: Our manager was like, ‘Harry, you
could be a college professor.’ And I was like, ‘Really, what would I teach?’,
and he was like, ‘You know...music.’ So I was like, OK...
Tom: It’s quite
fun. If the person is genuinely interested, then it’s really great. When Dougie
was talking it was a little bit...
Dougie: [Interrupting] Amazing!
Tom:
[Laughing] Yes, amazing. I would like to do it again, yeah.
What would
you be doing if you weren’t in McFly?
Tom: Professional Tweeter.
Dougie:
Burglar.
Harry: Shagging...
heatworld: Shagging? Does that mean you
don’t now...?
Harry: [Laughs.] I don’t know why I said that! I don’t know
what I’d be doing, being a hobo apparently.
Danny: You’d see him in, like,
Rio de Janeiro walking down the street.
Dougie: I’d be, like, hanging out...
Can you tell us anything about the new album?
We went out to
Australia in February to do some recording, and then along that way we sort of
found a new direction, halfway through the recording process. We came home, then
we had the tour earlier in the year, and then we went out to Brazil and Europe,
so we were touring for most of the year and now we’ve just started writing again
and er...
Danny has started laughing at the photo of Harry “popping out”
again...
Tom: [Distracted] And, so, we’ve kind of got a new direction
we’re exploring...
Danny is trying not to laugh and it sounds like he’s
squeaking...
Tom: And, like, this whole year, because we haven’t
released anything, we’ve spent the whole year planning what we’re going be doing
next...
Danny, Dougie, Harry and heatworld are all now laughing.
Tom: [Laughing] You can’t have a serious conversation about this...
Danny: [Almost crying with laughter as he holds up the picture] It’s signed!
All crack up.
Danny: It’s signed like he’s proud of it!
Dougie: I’ve
got to put that in my wallet.
A lot more laughing as Dougie attempts to
fit the picture of Harry into his wallet.
Tom: Anyway, we’re writing up
until about February, then we go back into the studio around then I reckon.
Will there be a UK tour next year?
Tom: Definitely! We’ll definitely
tour next year.
Harry: [To heatworld] Will you come?
heatworld: Yeah!
Tom: We’ll release something first, because we haven’t released anything
this whole year.
Danny: Release a dove.
All laugh.
Tom: We’ve got
some quite different plans for next year. Not sort of music related, but
something new. Something quite exciting... It’s really boring talking in the
creative stages, because we can’t say anything. This whole year has been setting
up stuff.
Danny: It’s pretty epic.
Tom: Much more so than we’ve ever
done before.
Danny: Lots of exciting things, but they just take a bit of
planning.
Harry: Do you want to ask us one more thing? Go on...
heatworld: OK. Harry, why don’t you Tweet more often?
Harry: [Groans.]
That’s a bad question!
heatworld: Lots of people were asking that on Twitter
today.
Harry: Tell them I’m aloof. [Laughs.] That’s a great word. He’s being
rather aloof today! I love it.
