lead guitarist affect the breakup no comment i never talk about my private life your dad was in a famous punk band and Your mum's a classical pianist have they influenced your music of course they have what do you think isn't everyone influenced by their parents when did you start playing i started playing the guitar when i was about four four that's pretty young yeah the guitar was nearly as big as me i think that your new album is your best yet it's a lot quieter and more experimental than Your earlier albums thank you i think
it's my best work so what have you been doing recently well i've been writing and recording some new songs and i've played at some of the summer festivals in the uk and what are you doing while you're in the states i'm going to play at some clubs here in new york then i'm doing some small gigs in other places i just want to get to know the country And the people it's all very new to me good job rob she isn't the easiest person to interview she's okay and this video clip will work great online
now you play solo well thank you for coming in today carrie now i suggest we have some lunch rob could you call a taxi so when will you be coming back to new york carrie Oh i don't know hi guys is everything okay yes it's delicious thank you that's great new york waiters never leave you alone i really don't like all this hi guys is everything okay stuff what you mean waiters aren't friendly in london oh they're very friendly yes they're friendly but not too friendly they don't bother you all the Time can i get
you anything else more drinks maybe no thanks we're fine fantastic see what i mean personally i think people in london are a lot more easy going london's just not as hectic as new york i'm sure we all like peace and quiet but in my opinion new york is possibly well no it's definitely the greatest City in the world don't you agree to be honest i definitely prefer london [Music] oh come on rob you've lived in both what do you think oh well i have to say london's very special it's more relaxed it's got great parks
and and you can cycle everywhere it's dangerous to cycle in new york why would you cycle when you can drive a car You can't be serious okay i agree london has its own peculiar charm but if you ask me nothing compares with a city like new york the whole world is here but that's the problem it's too big there are too many people everybody's so stressed out and nobody has any time for you i don't think that's right carrie new yorkers are very friendly oh sure they can Sound friendly with all that have a nice
day stuff but i always think it's a little bit fake you've got to be kidding me oh i'm sorry i'll just have to take this hello yes yo who the taxi driver what did she leave a cell phone right okay um yes we're still at the restaurant see you in about five minutes Personally i think but in my opinion don't you agree to be honest what do you think okay i agree but if you ask me i don't think that's right oh sure thank you for a nice lunchtime you're welcome thanks for coming guys have
a nice day See nice friendly service maybe but i think she saw the big tip you left on the table [Music] did you mean what you said in the restaurant rob did i mean what about missing london sure i miss it jenny really but hey not that much it's just that moving to a new place is always difficult but you don't regret coming here do you No no not at all it's just that you seemed so homesick in there the parks cycling well there are some things i miss but oh hang on a minute look
over there and taxis come back excuse me ma'am i mean what is it i believe this is your cell phone you left it in my cab what oh wow thank you have a nice day That was so kind of it see new yorkers are really friendly people did you mean what you said in the restaurant rob it's just that you seemed so homesick in there oh hang on a minute the taxis come back that was so kind of it monica jenny how are you you look great thanks jenny you look really good too Hey why
