belinda jane Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 ahhhh thank you ritz!!! i will listen to this on my lunch break. higgo is always great!
Ritz Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 I am listening right now and its a lovely interview! Cheerful Mike as always They decided to play Dookie in Serbia just 20 mins before going on stage!
MaraGreenDay Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Holy moly! I love when Mike do this kind of interviews, he's so awesome and the interview was great!
JIGD13 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Ritz can you tell me if he only talked about Australia?
UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 There is a write up in the Brisbane times. If you google it - it comes up with a picture of billie at Iheart radio
Liam Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Ritz can you tell me if he only talked about Australia? He talks about a few things like Dookie in Serbia, his Woodstock bass. It's a nice little interview.
UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 ooh at one stage there I thought MIke was going admit to coming back for a arena tour when asked about playing Dookie & AI next year.
UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 There is a write up in the Brisbane times. If you google it - it comes up with a picture of billie at Iheart radio & just to add to this - its different from the radio interview so he must be doing some other promotional stuff.
UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 The interview is in the Age online as well for you from Melbourne.
Hermione Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Really nice interview, brought a smile to my face! Awesome that he likes playing SWTRLF
belinda jane Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 i'm not sure if this part was mentioned in the interview, but this was on 'the age' website, and i found it so sweet and i got emotional; "Dirnt told Fairfax Media what he was going through when Armstrong swore several times and smashed his guitar because, he alleged, the band had been asked to wind up their set. "Honestly? [i thought] this is f---ing horrible and I don't like watching my friend go down this road . . . and how can I support my friend right now, how can I be there for my friend and get us through this night. "The path to getting through that night was not only six months in the making but it's going to be the rest of our lives and that is fine with me because it's worth it."
IlariaIDIOT Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Should tell Finley to do this next time
jacknovella Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Awesome interview I was hoping we'd get some concrete indication of what was going on next year with the whole Dookie/AI thing...although Mike quite strategically dodged that question Ah well, we'll find out!
WestboundSign! Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 What a great interview! I love the way Mike answers the questions! i'm not sure if this part was mentioned in the interview, but this was on 'the age' website, and i found it so sweet and i got emotional; "Dirnt told Fairfax Media what he was going through when Armstrong swore several times and smashed his guitar because, he alleged, the band had been asked to wind up their set. "Honestly? [i thought] this is f---ing horrible and I don't like watching my friend go down this road . . . and how can I support my friend right now, how can I be there for my friend and get us through this night. "The path to getting through that night was not only six months in the making but it's going to be the rest of our lives and that is fine with me because it's worth it." Whereever it's from, it got me emotional as well. Really beautiful quote.
.Holly Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Great interview! He sounds so happy and like he's having so much fun playing the shows at the moment! Also that's so awesome that playing Dookie in Serbia was only decided 20 mins before they want onstage!!! He seemed to suggest the 2 months in Europe was just "testing it all the way". I think they'll be back for more
Todd Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 He talks about a few things like Dookie in Serbia, his Woodstock bass. It's a nice little interview. Are you gonna put this in the downloads?
9876gwen Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 The last interview we might hear for a while...
Tubbie Head Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 That was great!! Thanks for sharing Ritz! It's always nice to get interviews with Mike! And wow they decided to pkay Dookie right before the show in Serbia, that's really cool. I thought it would have been planed beforehand with time to practice a bit and stuff. hahah Those "goosebumps moments" he talks about are definitely the highlights of the concerts for the crowd as well I think! SWTRLF Best Trilogy song live up until now! (this will obviously change when they decide to add DRD to the set-list! )
belinda jane Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 he sounds so happy i love that they ALWAYS come to australia in summer, hahaha. i'm so happy they enjoy coming here and love our beaches and food too.
itz_brittany87 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Great interview thanks Ritz! I got goosebumps watching videos of them live so I can only imagine what it feels like on his end.
spark in the night Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 If you love Alkaline Trio, why don't you bring them on tour with you

This is lovely and I'm so glad that Mike understands that alcoholism is a long road that can last a lifetime. A lot of fans who assume Billie must be fine after six months and whine about the lack of press (amongst other things) could really learn something from that.
Pineapple Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 was holding out the whole time for him to mention doing sideshows in Australia
