Up next is another lesson in how to stay frosty when you're in the middle of an interminable interview situation, as Mr Lay and Mr Urbanowicz drop by Forge TV to answer a series of fluff questions during the ITLAOTE campaign. The best parts of this 7 minute video are when Chris and Ed revert to chatting between themselves, using the interviewer's questions to start up their own mini-debates. Witness the amount of time taken to answer the question "Which other band would you like to be in?". It gets a little awkward from about the 6 minutes mark as it seems like the interviewees have gotten them measure of their interrogator, lost interest and have decided to start closing off from him. And the ending of the interview is all kinds of awkward and abrupt.
As a strange aside to all of this, if you were in any doubt about how cool Mr Urbanowicz actually is then meditate on something we learn during the course of the chatter. You may be aware of the viral internet craze/fad/waste of time called the Mannequin Challenge. Would you believe that during his time as a civilian working in retail, Chris was actually doing this a full 20 years before everyone else? Not only is he a Rickenbacker-wielding sonic assassin, and a one time break dancer, but also a future trend setter so adept that he initiates a craze decades prior to it gaining popularity. Pretty cool. Enjoy the chat ;)
