1) What are you up too?

Right now we are rehearsing the new stuff for our new record and that is pretty much it. Doing some shows. Playing with the Rolling stones on sunday.

2) Some of the press has lumped you with the White Stripes and the Strokes as the Saviour of Rock N Roll. How do you feel about that, what do you think of the bands mentioned above, and does rock and roll need saving?

I like both bands id have to say. Talent is still talent hyped or not. Same thing goes with rock n roll. Rock n roll is rock n roll and real rock n roll will never need saving real rock and roll is the saviour!!!

3) Do the clothes make the man?

As much as the man make the clothes.

4) What song from AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)" would you be most likely to cover?

We dont cover perfection. We polish and let it shine.

5) Does Doctor Matt Destruction have any good moustache care tips?

He say a good comb will do.

6) You've been touring all over the world, where are the worse bathrooms at?

The stand up ones in Italy. Very demeaning.

7) MTV2 in the USA has been playing your video. How important do you think MTV is in commercial success in the USA?

Seems pretty important. Spending money seems more important though.

8) "Main Offender" was the background music in a Kylie Minogue Agent Provocateur ad. Is that ironic?

Only where nudity is offensive.

9) Fans sometimes come to your shows dressed like you, are you flattered or scared by this?

Flattered when they tuck in the tie.

10) You have sold 10 million records in the UK, what do you spend all that fat cash on?

I buy myself ten million records.

11) I'm from America so what is this metric system you speak of?

Logic in a straight line.

Robots
