i bet a lot of interviewers do that and wing it. i appreciate the honesty i guess.
I thought that in a way too. But i still think it is pretty disrespectful to the artist. The interviewer in the video barely seemed to have done his homework on the band either. I don't expect those who interview bands/musicians to be experts, but one would expect an interviewer to have put in a modicum amount of research prior. It's not actually difficult to do.
Although interesting in hearing what Buzz spoke about as a fan, this interview was one of the worst i think i've seen Buzz involved with. I felt bad for him. Having to sit and waste his time chatting to a guy who didn't seem to care and seemed pretty ignorant to music as a whole. All those recommendations Buzz mentioned to him - you can just tell he won't follow up on a single one of them or listen to 'Five Legged Dog' even after that embarrassing showing!
It just seems like such a shame to me. To think that any one of us here could ask some really compelling questions and we would probably all be very honored to get to chat with Buzz. And yet here he is having to make his way though some nonsense like that.
