    Everyone needs to shut the fuck up about him seeming "arrogant" now. This was years ago, when they just started out as a band. Obviously with more success, he's gonna mature and be more proud of their work. He doesn't HAVE to stay a shy little humble guy, he's allowed to be proud of all their success. So just shutup and enjoy how fucking adorable he is in this interview, okay?

      I think he is a bit arrogant. Im not saying we should all hate him for that. I think being arrogant is not a good thing but if he is, theres nothing we can do about it, you know. He's speech at the brits was horrible to be really honest but we dont even know the guy, maybe it was a joke. So no one actually knows if he's arrogant or not.

    its actually not his personality, its just being worn out, i dont know if you have any idea how tough and tiring it is to travel every day, country to country, playing gigs till 1 am and getting up at 6 to get to the next gig.. its unreal, im not surprised he seems so tired

    How his voice changed so much after 20? Wow. It wouldn't be weird if he was 15 here but he was already a young adult.

      Nekros97 because he is 34 now he sounds the same other than his voice has gotten deeper with age and probably cigarettes

      @@antitheticaldreamgirl what’s to be mad at this? she meant his personality before rather than now. you just said that people change; that was her entire point. nobody said anything about a robot so that’s a bit confusing.
