Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Green Day
Q: How long would you say they've been a headline worthy band for Download?
Since American Idiot, they could have headlined the festival.
Green Day
Q: What are your initial thoughts when you saw that Green Day were headlining?
It was really exciting because they have always been a bucket list band for me, and I had hoped the rumors were true.
Sleep Token
Q: What do you think is going to be like at Download?
I think you're going to get banger after banger after banger, with very little breaks because they don't really do that.
EP 79 Linkin Park reunion + news
Q: Should Linkin Park have changed their name?
It's obvious why they've done it. They wanted to continue making music in the vein of Linkin Park because they don't actually have to change that much.
EP 79 Linkin Park reunion + news
Q: Has Dave Grohl lost the title of nicest man in rock?
I don't think so. I think until the details come out, I don't think he has. I'm sure he's still a really nice guy.
