She reckons that nothing ever happens and be 25 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 4: my downfall. Two of the greatest songs ever written. And 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 4: if she was to go to any gig a choice 27 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,639 Speaker 4: between ic DC, the Stones, Led Zeppelin and you guys, 28 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 4: she'd see Delementary every time. The loyal, aren't they? 29 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: Well that's very kind of do you know. I saw 30 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: ac DC for the first time about five years ago 31 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: and they completely blew me away and I got a 32 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: sun time while I was watching them. Was the only 33 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: time I've ever had a sun time up in the 34 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: high seats at Hampden Park in Glasgow, and the sun 35 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: just cut across the sky because the sun just hides 36 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: in the sky that time of year, in the middle 37 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 2: of the summer. So I watched ac DC and got 38 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: a suntime. 39 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: Very quid essentially Australian. It's very eusy. 40 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: What's different about touring now, justin versus when you were 41 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: touring in your twenties and thirties even. 42 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot less to do now, which is great. 43 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: When we were in our twenties and thirties because we 44 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: were in the charts and we had a major record 45 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: company behind us, there was an awful lot of stuff 46 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: to do during the day, lots of things like this, 47 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: and lots of acoustic performances. So we don't really miss 48 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: that because it means we just concentrate on the gig, 49 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: and it also means we can wander around and explore 50 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: a bit during the day, which is that's been a 51 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: major improvement in our lives on tour, as if we 52 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: get time before the sound check just to wander around. 53 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: So that's that's been magic. 54 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: Did you have Yeah, the bends that came in the 55 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 4: generation before you have mentioned Jim Curly, it's Simple Minds 56 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: or Stewart Adamson with the Big Country and before that 57 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: the schemes were these influences on you, these. 58 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: Guys, Yeah, particularly Simple Minds and Orange Juice are the 59 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: kind of coins. Yeah. The Orange Orange Juice made Classgow 60 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: help and Simple Minds made Classgow internationally successful. And I 61 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: was a big fan of both bands when I was 62 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: at school and they just opened everything up here. They 63 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 2: opened up a whole infrastructure for for rock bands and 64 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: post punk bands and They just showed little guys like 65 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: us at school that you know, anybody could do it, 66 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 2: you know, if you could break out of this town 67 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: and make kind of make a name for yourself. So 68 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: that was a huge emphasis for us. 69 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: I feel like we can relate to that a bit 70 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: in Australia with Australian bands, you know, making it overseas, 71 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: especially twenty thirty years ago. 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, the new album. 73 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: First album in nineteen years Fatal Mistakes.

And that's just the 127 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: ultimate compliment. Really. 128 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: Speaking of compliments, I'm going to compliment now on your accent. 129 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: I love Scottish accent. I think the whole world loves 130 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: a Scottish accent. But is there anywhere in the world 131 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: where you've toured and you've done interviews and so on, 132 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: and they just did a particular loss to understand you. 133 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: Well, I've got quite a soft accent because my mum speaks. 134 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: My mum speaks very posh. She was a colonial sort 135 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: of evacuee to Australia from Hong Kong, and she kind 136 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: of speaks a bit like not the Queen, but she 137 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: speaks a bit like a very posh actor. So Ian 138 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: is sometimes not understood, especially in some in some parts 139 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: of America, they just can't cope with him because Ian's 140 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: from a place called Disco Bride. Whi's got a bit 141 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: of a stronger accent than the Glasgow accent. But generally 142 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm terribly well spoken. 143 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, Americans couldn't understand our Prime Minister Julia Gillard. 144 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: That's just America. 145 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 4: I guess sometimes some Americans are a bad accent and 146 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: some Americans are good at accents. 147 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of a class it's kind of a 148 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: class thing. You know. Middle class white suburban nights are 149 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: rubbish with accent because they just they all kind of 150 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: have the same accent and they just tune out as 151 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: soon as you know, if you don't say bookstore, if 152 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: you say bookshop, they just want to saying. And if 153 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: you if you order water with a hard tea, never 154 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: you have to order water. Water, just water. 155 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: And probably the tape of the gratuity a day. Another 156 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: one from my friend job. She said, this refers back 157 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 4: to you getting sunburned. I say, they see, she said, 158 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 4: this is unfortunately just the first It looks like the 159 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: first gig on the tour, so you might not have 160 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: a ten to wear a kilt on stage or maybe 161 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: down at drag beach. 162 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you know what? I had the most brilliant 163 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: kilt which I did sometimes drag out were on stage, 164 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: which I bought in a second hand I bought saying 165 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: hand in a charity shop years ago.
