I got asked this twice so I guess I better do all of 'em.
My idea of the perfect romantic date
I'm not romantic in the slightest so I'd be proper happy if we just went for a walk somewhere, got some food for the go and had a chat about life. I'm really into them deep conversations where you go off about different theories over whether or not aliens exist, if there's life after death, if there's a god etc. that would be a pretty perfect date.
What most attracts me in a boy/girl
With a bloke, I'm attracted to beards, tattoos, nice hair, fairly tall, bit of muscle.With a girl, I like them when they have weird hair colours, tattoos, funny as fuck, can act like a lad etc.
Bravest/most badass thing I ever did
I'd say the bravest thing I ever did was swimming with sharks when we were in Australia, that was fucking terrifying. I s'pose that'd count for most badass too.
My best quality
My sense of humour, maybe? I'm pretty easy going and I don't get offended easily.
Thing that makes me most angry
People who don't appreciate the life that they've been given. You never know when it's gonna be taken from you so stop your whinging and have a good time.
Greatest belief of something happening in my life
Well, I'm hoping that I'll find myself another band and start touring again.
Greatest adventure I've had/wish to have
Touring Europe was a crazy adventure, a lot of weird stuff happens in Holland. As for the adventure I wish to have, that'd be to tour the States.
Most difficult thing I had to do
Carry one of my best mate's coffin.
Memory of the most fun event in my life
Playing Wembley Arena to a sold out crowd and just owning that stage. That was amazing.
Oh Jesus, why’d anyone ever think that’s a good idea? Hell, why’d anyone ever think that’s even acceptable? You’re a really patient guy to have put up with that, you and your band mates. I would’ve flipped the fuck out, mostly because I just really need my privacy. That’s how all bands are before they get big, though. They probably wanted to get close to you guys before you got famous. Oh jeez, really? How does that even happen? I’m really sorry to hear that, my condolences. Yeah, I can totally see where you’re coming from with that. Mhm, nothing hard though. Like, as far as bonafide drugs go, the severest I’ve gone is acid. Yeah, but they’re not where I live.
Most of them are young and naive, I s'pose. You get used to it though, like at first I was pretty uncomfortable with people taking photos with me and hugging me and stuff but then it's when you like, see a kid smile and even cry 'cause they got to meet you, like you learn to be patient with them and make them happy. Oh yeah, that probably was how it went. What, the alpaca? I have no idea, I just went to move him to a different field and then he started chasing me and trying to jump on me. It's alright, but thank you. I'm just not really all that into drugs anymore because of it as he died from an overdose. They stole a really fucking great lad away from the world and he had so much to give, you know? But I can't go around preaching and telling you to not do shit 'cause then that'd make me a dick. Just be careful is all I can say. Ha, I still find it hard to believe they're a real family. Although, they're all torn apart now aren't they?
What were the bad fan encounters like? Ah, yeah. Money seems to be the bane of everyone’s existence these days. Everything’s too expensive while people are getting paid too little, it all sucks a lot. Guess that’s to be expected though, at least in that in-between stage of being really well known and well known, right? Because you’re making money but not making a whole lot of money. I don’t see how a petting zoo job could go wrong, haha. Yeah, I can imagine. How was it beyond your control though? Oh yeah, like, I’ve probably huffed more things in my lifetime than you probably should, among other things. That’s cool man, welcome to America then. I’m from Georgia.
We had a few break into our hotel rooms once, others have snuck into the tour bus, given us weird presents and yeah. I know they're just dedicated but still, they don't seem to understand that we're literally just your everyday bloke and not some superstar. It really is, I'm just glad we managed to cope and not fall flat on our faces with a huge debt behind us. Definitely though, man. Oh trust me, when you nearly get mounted by an alpaca then you start to question your choice of work. Our vocalist died. Didn't feel right to just replace him and carry on with the band. Oh, so you do drugs? I see, but yeah, that shit does a lot of damage. Thanks. Isn't that where Honey Boo Boo is from?
Haha, that it was. Yeah, I bet dude. No one’s type of life is ever as good as it seems, honestly. Like, yeah actors are rich and famous in shit but they gotta put up with the paparazzi and are under huge pressures and shit. Aw man, that’s gotta be like, the best part time job ever! Good for you, man. That’s a damn good accomplishment right there. Even if shit happened at least you guys did take off a bit, you know? So you’re like, here for a fresh start. Oh trust me, I am! I’ve killed off so many brain cells, I have no doubt that I’m not as bright as I could be. Thanks dude. So judging by the jumper thing, you’re not from around here, are you?
Yeah exactly, like we were lucky enough that we were still pretty low on the whole fame scale so we rarely ever got stopped in the streets and stuff but we did have a few dodgy fan encounters. It was mainly the money that was the issue though, I barely made enough to cover my rent and people assume that you're gonna be earning a lot but you've got to fork out so much to pay for flights, tour buses, hotels, equipment etc. It was actually a pretty great job! Thank you, but yeah it was nice to get a taste for it, you know? It's a big shame that it was beyond our control that things had to end but it wouldn't have been right for us to continue so now I'm hoping being here will be the new start I'm looking for. You've killed them? Nah, I'm from England. What about you?
Well, it’s true! That’s the only thing I remember her for, honestly. That fucking gross meat dress. Ohh, got it. That’s really cool though, cooler than being a model. You guys must have been pretty big then, right? If you were doing shoots for magazines and all that. Me? Well, I’m already brainless, but I don’t think I’ve got anything in common with models besides that, haha. I’m Kodiak, good to meet you Seb. I like your name.
It was literally a disaster from head to toe. It was a pretty fun lifestyle, although it's a lot tougher than people make it out to be. I still had to work part-time, so whenever I wasn't touring I was at a petting farm feeding and cleaning up after goats. It's weird. We were doing alright though, got a bit of a name for ourselves with a steady fan base and I think we could have made it but then shit happened, I guess. That's why I'm here, really. You don't seem brainless! Don't worry though, I've got no common sense and like, I say dumb shit all the time. Kodiak? That's a proper sick name, haha. Thank you.
If Lady Gaga threw up on everyone’s clothes I think there’d be meat on them. Yeah, exactly. Wait, what’s a jumper? Are you like, a model or something? I really don’t like that word, manscaping. It just sounds… I dunno, cringey. Hey, what’s your name dude?
Ha! Oh man, that's so grim. A jumper? Like a sweater, I think? You know, a pull over. Hahaha, I wish! Nah, I was in a band so we did photo shoots and stuff for magazines. I don't think I have the right look to pull off being a model, you do though. You make a good point. It's Sebastian, although most call me Seb unless I'm being told off for something. What about yours?
Oh yeah, definitely. High fashion’s weirder than weird, fake eyebrows and hair all over the place and half the clothes being one color and the other half something completely different. My style’s just like, torn up shit and comfy shit. Yeah, the fanciest I get’s with gel.
It's like Lady Gaga vomited on everyone's clothes. That's pretty cool though, I mean the main thing is to be comfy. I have so many knitted jumpers 'cause they just so cosy. I never used to care so much about my appearance until I was shoved in front of a camera and in front of crowds of people, then I was exposed to the world of manscaping.
Fashion’s weird sometimes. I have almost no idea of what you just said, when it comes to anything beyond a hairbrush and some shampoo it’s outta my depth.
Fashion is proper weird when it comes to the whole catwalk and designer brands but high street fashion is my kinda thing. Seriously? You never used a pair of hair straighteners?
