Not a translation but from what bits I can hear under the German....
Damon - we decided that it was the perfect opportunity to see if we still had it and could make interesting music together and that's really how we made the record
Graham - It's an odd feeling and it's very intense so I suppose that in some ways [inaudible] Damon would say stuff then that would perhaps trigger, they were sort of triggers
Damon - It's a miraculous record in a way it's one of the easiest I've ever been involved in to complete
The voice over seems to talk about when they met, then when Blur became big with G&B, then mentions pressure, alcohol and drugs and I think Graham leaving
Graham - Our relationship has had to go through a lot, it's long term, its a long term friendship. Then it's [inaudible but I think he says something about it being like being brothers] It's really horrible when you're absolutely tired and under a lot of pressure to sustain your position as a top rock band is always there and you're always going to be knocked down if you take your eye off the ball and there's a constant pressure, I suppose its like a kettle, [makes weird kettle noise!] all the time, you know explodes all over the place. I don't think we've ever stood there and shouted [inaudible] or threw glasses and ?
Damon - you did try and take my head off with a guitar in Dublin
Graham - Did I?
Damon - yeah, it's ok , I luckily moved just in time
Graham - an electric one?
Damon - yes
Graham - right [laughs and falls about]
The voiceover then talks about MTH and presumably that it's about their relationship
Damon - that records not all about Graham [big grin] but, but, but that song is definitely
Graham is asked how he feels about that
Graham - I don't know, I got,I had the feeling, I don't know its just, [inaudible] I guess people love to have songs written about them, you know but I see it as sort of affectionate really
Then something about it being a happy end and something I think about it being 20 years since Gilbert & George and then they seem to pose like them with Graham saying 'they seem pretty happy I think, don't they?" Then Damon says something I can't hear.
) but have a look, sounds both hilarious and sweet! The chemistry... <3
(also, what happened to his fringe? did he let Dorelia play with scissors?
