Yes, they are professionals in a very priveleged position, and should be able to conduct themselves in a graceful manner like most artists. This example of immature/stubborn behaviour is quite expreme and probably a seldom occurance. 'painful and hilarious viewing!', more of the same please! Cheers for the clip Nialler!

‘painful and hilarious viewing!’, more of the same please!

OMM painted Sigur Ros in a different light, showing the human side to the band, who were more comfortable on their own turf, and so less guarded. For all we know, EMI could have herded the band straight into this interview after a long flight, or it could've been the 10th one of these boring interviews they had to endure that day. This kind of thing is no fun for the band or interviewer. Jeez, i sound like i work in the Sigur Ros PR department! I still think they were kranky, awkward bitches, but i can understand why that may be. My point exactly Gambra!

The Observer Music interview of them is what a great interview should be like, not this cack. In fairness if I was asked all those stupid questions I’d be bored and listless as well.

There is nothing more awful in the world than interviewing people who don't want to be interviewed. I once interviewed one of Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club and he just went "aahhhyyynnnnnbblluuugghhhh" down the phone for 15 minutes. No joke. Jesus, that’s horrible.

Most interview questions are piles of cack, but it's absolutely no excuse to come on and behave like complete arseholes for 5 minutes. Maybe they were tired or had their thoughs elsewhere. painful and hilarious viewing though! [quote post="790"]In fairness, they were being asked some numbingly boring and stupid questions.[/quote]

I'm sure it's tough to 'slap on a fake smile, and run through the same old shit one more time', as Mr B Hicks once said.
