lol wtf is he thinking

...aber im grunde hat daniel 1989 - 98 - (...) zuhause gesessen, viel fernsehen gesehen, dabei aber auch viel nachgedacht...

haha geile aussage - und erst bens blick, wenn der interviewer janes namen noch falscher sagt, als er es schon getan hat lol

[meldasue]

I got the impression that the interviewer knew her name in the first place, and then Ben mangled it and the interviewer probably figured that Ben knew better than he did.

[eatingcandy]

are you sure, I more felt like they both have no clue lol? ben definitely got closer haha

it's pretty funny since the interviewer is no native speaker and likes to translate things rather um "literally", thanks a lot for posting!

[dirrx]

hehe, his "dabei aber auch viel nachgedacht" was pretty funny...or that's just my weird sense of humour :)

anyways, I don't get why they didn't subtitle the interview, it's distracting when they translate it while interviewing, it gets a bit awkward..unless it was live of course

[eatingcandy]

haha yeah, same here! this one was really nice lol.

I don't think that the interviewer knew the name... Subtitling would deffinetely be the better option... haha... "dabei aber auch viel nachgedacht" haha

[dirrx]

cool, thanks a lot for uploading!

hehe, the interviewer is great, nice shoes :D

he looks like that uber-polite cannibal from the IT Crowd episode "Moss and the German" :-D

yeah, it would be interesting to see what kind of music would the band make if Ben still did some writing

IIRC, Ben said after Neon Ballroom that he was going to participate much more on the next album which obviously never happened, I guess he let Daniel do the whole writing partly because of his then condition

Bands have broken up over less. Not enough can be said about the friendship between these guys.
