Transcript
00:00We're going to move on to our next guest.
00:02We're going to have a few guests in this particular segment.
00:04And I think these might be the only guests that actually have joined us here in the States and in England as well.
00:11That's right.
00:12When we broadcast live, we went over for the Eagles game.
00:15Damn, that was good.
00:16One half of this duo stopped by and saw us while we were at the hotel doing a live broadcast and hung out.
00:22It was really, really cool.
00:23It was.
00:23And I assume that they're in England right now, right?
00:26Yeah, they are, which is why we can actually get a performance out of them.
00:28Yeah, because it's not early in the morning like it is here.
00:31We would like to welcome from Nothing But Thieves, Connor Mason and Dom Crick on the program.
00:38Hello.
00:39Hi, guys.
00:39Good morning.
00:40Thanks for coming on.
00:41Thank you for having us again.
00:43It's good to see you again.
00:44Yeah.
00:44You too.
00:45Dom, do you remember paying us a visit when we were in London?
00:48I do.
00:49It was a very, very nice surprise.
00:51It was odd seeing you on this side of the pond.
00:53And I'm not going to lie, I miss it.
00:55So if you want to come back and stay with me, you'll want more than I can do.
00:58When all this passes, we will, right, Preston?
01:01Yeah, watch what you said.
01:01Oh, yeah, there's a pandemic or something's happening at the moment, something like that.
01:05Yes.
01:05Let's remind everyone that this is a worldwide issue.
01:10And how have you guys been coping as far as, you know, having something to do or affecting work with the restrictions?
01:20I think we were supposed to be on tour in February time straight away.
01:25So when COVID started, we did feel a bit stunted.
01:29But I think the time off was actually quite nice for someone in a band.
01:34But then we've had the last few months to be able to get together and write a lot.
01:37So it's been really creative again.
01:39And now we're in a bubble.
01:41We, you know, share each other's sliver.
01:43I'm more concerned about catching other things than COVID-19 from him.
01:50Yeah, as fans, I guess that's going to work out in our favor if you guys are getting together and writing music.
01:54I actually was supposed to be in London in April.
01:58I was taking – it was my mom's – I'm sorry, Christmas present.
02:01And we had to cancel, obviously, at the last minute.
02:05And when we were in London for that Eagles game, Preston loved being there so much that we're trying to figure out a way to get over there again for work.
02:15Yeah.
02:16Yeah.
02:16Yeah, come.
02:17You do need an excuse.
02:19You'll have to come to one of the gigs at some point.
02:21We'll persuade the label to fly you all out.
02:24Oh.
02:25We'll get you back in a nice hotel.
02:27Oh, we like that.
02:28Yes, that'd be great.
02:29And if you could, put Preston's room just above the dance floor of the club that the hotel is in.
02:33That's where I was, man.
02:35They had a freaking disco.
02:36Oh, my God.
02:38It was that and the guy with a road cone outside the window going,
02:41Because we were in – where were we?
02:46What was the –
02:47Oh, right near –
02:48W at – was it Trafalgar Square?
02:50No, Nexley Tickadary.
02:52Leicester.
02:52Leicester.
02:53Leicester Square, yeah.
02:54Oh, wow.
02:55Oh, yeah.
02:55That's loud.
02:56That's loud.
02:56And that phone guy is always there.
02:58Little did we know, that's where the street performers all congregate.
03:01What?
03:02You said the cone guy is always there.
03:03You know that guy?
03:04Yeah.
03:05We went to school together.
03:06We were both into music.
03:08I went one direction.
03:09I dropped the cone and picked up the guitar.
03:11And he carried on the cone.
03:13We have the makings of a movie.
03:15The day I put the cone down.
03:16The cone school.
03:17Yeah.
03:17Your third album is called Moral Panic.
03:22That is out now.
03:24And, you know, like you were saying, Connor, that's what you guys would have been touring
03:27and promoting at this point.
03:30Is – listen, everybody's dealing with this particular situation, but is it particularly
03:35frustrating when you have newer material that you really want to get into fresh ears
03:41and see what the live reaction is to it?
03:44Yeah, massively.
03:45I think the second record, when we released our first single, we had a gig, I think, literally
03:50the following week after releasing the first single.
03:53So you had such a good gauge on what people were enjoying and if they enjoyed the song.
03:57So it's been odd for us to release all this material and not have any idea if anyone
04:02even likes it live.
04:03And you have to kind of gauge it with statistics and digitally, like, you know, all that sort
04:08of stuff.
04:08So it's not as fun.
04:10Yeah.
04:10It's gone down well.
04:11Yeah.
04:11So we kind of know that when we are able to play it live again, it should be okay at
04:15least.
04:16Okay.
04:16And you guys have agreed to perform a song for us this morning?
04:20Yeah.
04:21Yeah.
04:21We're going to do our most recent single called Impossible.
04:24Impossible, and this is our first live radio performance via the internet.
04:31So we're excited, nervous, and if it goes wrong, we can blame the slow internet speed
04:37that we decided to go for.
04:38We will back you up on that.
04:40And nothing to be nervous about, but Jon Bon Jovi is actually on the Zoom, and he's listening
04:44as well.
04:45We're going to talk to him right after we talk to you guys, so Jon's going to be listening
04:48in.
04:49That's awesome.
04:50Pretty great.
04:51Oh, my God.
04:52Nice king.
04:55So if you will, we're ready for the performance.
05:00Sweet.
05:00Sure.
05:01Okay.
05:01We're going to take four seconds to check our levels.
05:04Certainly.
05:04So, yeah, we apologize, but in order to juggle all these Zoom interviews, we've got to kind
05:12of wait until we get on and see how it works.
05:13What kind of shape would we have been in without Zoom for all of this?
05:17It worked out well.
05:18All right.
05:20Whenever you guys are set.
05:22Let's see.
05:23Let's see.
05:30I took a breath.
05:31Let it go.
05:33I felt the moment, so I couldn't wait to tell you why.
05:38I'm standing here with this awkward smile.
05:42And that's because
05:45I could drown myself in someone like you
05:52I could dive so deep on an old coma
05:57I thought it was impossible
06:01But you make it possible
06:12Love it stings and then it lies to every beat of my battered heart
06:19A sudden joke, a tender kiss
06:22I know I'm gonna die at this
06:26And that's because
06:30I could drown myself in someone like you
06:36I could dive so deep I'll never come out
06:42I thought it was impossible
06:48But you make it possible
06:52I take the swoop of the rock
07:05Feel so mocked up to be in love
07:08Another day, another night
07:11Stuck in my own head
07:13But you pull me out
07:16You pull me out
07:19I could drown myself in someone like you
07:25I could dive so deep I'll never come out
07:31I thought it was impossible
07:35But you make it possible
07:39But you make it possible
07:45Somebody told me I think they're right
07:49There's a change on this way tonight
07:51And I feel the same
07:53But I feel it though
07:55Somebody told me I think they're right
07:57There's a change on this way tonight
07:59And I feel it though
08:00Somebody told me I think they're right
08:01There's a change on this way tonight
08:03And I feel it so
08:05And I feel it so
08:07And I feel it so
08:11I could drive myself in someone like you
08:21I could dive so deep I'll never come out
08:27I thought it was impossible
08:35But you make it possible
08:51You're to feel it
08:53I love you
09:07I love you
09:09I love you
09:12I love you
09:14I love you
09:16I love you
09:18Sweet.
09:27Wow.
09:28Wow.
09:29Oh, my God.
09:30Holy crap.
09:31That was amazing.
09:32Nothing but thieves.
09:3393.3 WMMR.
09:35Impossible.
09:36First of all, dumb, amazing song.
09:39Dear God, Connor, you have one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
09:44I will describe that in the U.S. here.
09:47We would call that a panty dropper.
09:50And we're all wearing panties, so it works.
09:53Connor, your voice has so many levels to it, and they're all flawless.
09:59I just love it.
10:00And what I love about the whole band's appeal is that, like, all right, so that's one.
10:06Like, you guys are just as great all plugged in, right?
10:09So on the last album, Broken Machines, Particles, beautiful song at the end with the piano version.
10:16But it's also plugged in.
10:18And one of my favorite songs on the album is Amsterdam, which is a total rock song.
10:22You guys, like, I just can't get enough of your sounding.
10:26Connor, I love your voice.
10:27So I'm just at a loss.
10:30Yeah.
10:30I don't want to speak out of turn, but, like, if I were Bon Jovi, I would be looking for an opening band on my next tour.
10:38Right.
10:39Wow.
10:39Like a British guy, maybe?
10:41Yeah.
10:42I don't know.
10:43Can we do, like, an American Idol thing?
10:45Can we get John on to comment on what he just heard?
10:48I have no idea if we can connect.
10:50What's that?
10:50He's ready if Mike Comstock and Indra wants to patch him in.
10:53I don't know.
10:54Can we do that, Mike?
10:55Can we put John on as we're getting ready to wrap up with nothing but these?
10:58I don't know.
10:58Is this for real?
10:59Yeah, yeah.
10:59For real.
11:00We're serious.
11:01Yeah.
11:01Hang on a second here.
11:02Let's see.
11:03There he is.
11:03Hey, John.
11:04How are you doing, man?
11:06Nice to see you.
11:07This is crazy.
11:08I know you can do things like you can fake people on, like, computers and stuff.
11:12Is that the real John Bon Jovi?
11:13That's the real John Bon Jovi.
11:16I don't know if that's.
11:17John.
11:18Hi, guy.
11:18Morning.
11:19Did you hear their performance, John?
11:21No, because you guys wouldn't log me in.
11:23Oh!
11:25No!
11:26Who did that?
11:27I'm sorry.
11:28Well, we're going to send a copy.
11:30You heard an unbelievable vocal and guitar performance from Connor and Dom from Nothing
11:34But Thieves.
11:35They're in the UK right now checking in via Zoom.
11:37I wish you would have heard that because it was incredible.
11:39Sensation.
11:39Oh, man.
11:41All right.
11:42We should let the guys go and get with John here.
11:44All right.
11:45Yeah.
11:45Connor and Dom, thank you guys.
11:47You are the best.
11:48We love you.
11:48Thank you so much.
11:49Good luck.
