00:00Give us a G.
00:03That's not a G.
00:06That's not a G.
00:07It is. It's close.
00:09That sounds okay.
00:23Yes, we're going to do it again.
00:24Shall we do it right?
00:25That's right, we're going to get it right this time.
00:27Yes.
00:29We're back.
00:31Fill us in.
00:33What have you been up to?
00:35Oh, my God.
00:35Oh, well, what have we been up to?
00:44Oh, so much stuff.
00:46Water under and over the bridge.
00:49Yeah, that's right.
00:50We spent a long time not speaking.
00:53Fifteen years without speaking.
00:55Fifteen years, no communication.
00:57Frankly, I rather enjoyed it.
00:59So we decided to put the past behind us and embrace the future.
01:03And here we are.
01:04With the future of Hannibal's.
01:05When they implied that there might be a small margin of profit for us, we all became a lot happier about it.
01:13But at the beginning, it was all kicking and screaming, I think.
01:16How would you describe your new sound?
01:19I'd say it was the old sound.
01:21Same as the old sound, really, yeah.
01:22But louder.
01:23Much louder, yeah.
01:24They have these new devices you can attach to anything, make it louder.
01:28Well, not anything.
01:29Well, listen, if you'd have a really tiny voice, a tiny sound like a cricket yodeling.
01:35Such as?
01:36A cricket yodeling.
01:37Such as?
01:38A cricket yodeling.
01:39See, now if I said it louder.
01:40No, it makes it sound like what it would sound like.
01:41Well, I don't know.
01:42Give us a G.
01:46That's not G.
01:48That's not G.
01:50It is.
01:50It is.
01:51It's close.
01:51It sounds okay.
01:52Nigel, tell me, what is on your rider these days?
02:06Ah, well, we don't have individual riders, really.
02:10We have a band rider from the old days.
02:14And there are certain things I just don't want any part of.
02:18I don't like old meat that's, let's say, it's been laying out for a month or something.
02:24And it's turned green and has little bugs on it.
02:28No.
02:28No, thank you.
02:29Draw the line.
02:30It's up there.
02:30Yeah, I don't want any part of that.
02:33David, what's the status of your relationship with Janine?
02:37You know, Janine and I were on the same path for so long.
02:42One of us had to take a break and an exit ramp.
02:46And in this case, it was her.
02:48And my life was turned upside down and shaken out until the change fell out of my pockets.
02:53So it was a while curing myself of that issue.
02:57But now things are fine.
02:59She's living her life.
03:00I'm proud of her for doing what she felt was right.
03:04But I really don't want to discuss it any further until the book comes out.
03:08Nigel, I feel like you did make a face when I asked about it.
03:10Oh, yeah.
03:11Well, you know, we never were close.
03:16We were...
03:16Except that one night.
03:22Onward.
03:23Leave it there.
03:24Derek?
03:25Yes?
03:25Have you been doing any gardening lately?
03:27I don't do any gardening.
03:29I'm basically an indoors person now.
03:32One of my fascinations is glue.
03:36People would always say, Derek, you're the glue of the band.
03:39Bass players are usually the glue of the band.
03:42And it got me thinking and it got me exploring glue.
03:45And so I have this little museum in London called the New Museum of Glue
03:51because I thought there must have been an old one way back when.
03:55I'm basically a glue master now, I would say.
03:59And have you overcome your internet addiction?
04:03No, you know, what I found out is that they follow you.
04:07And there's no cure for the internet addiction better than being followed.
04:13Is there any pressure from the label or management side
04:16for you all to keep up with TikTok or Instagram?
04:20Yes, and you're giving me a headache just thinking about it.
04:23You keep coming at us and saying,
04:24you've got to do a TikTok and a bim-bam and a boom-boom.
04:27Yeah, I get these emails saying, with a little video saying,
04:31can you do this dance?
04:32Will you do this dance for us?
04:34And it happens ten times a day, these little dances.
04:37I can't remember how to do the dances.
04:40By the time I see them, there's a seven-year-old girl
04:43doing a little dance with little ears on,
04:45doing some hopping dance.
04:47And I can't remember how to do it.
04:51So by the time I turn on my phone,
04:53I've forgotten how, and so I can't do it.
04:56We're horizontal people.
04:58Yes.
04:59In a vertical world.
05:00That's true.
05:00Yes, and that's true as well.
05:02We're in a whole new landscape of music these days.
05:04Yeah.
05:05What do you think of the music you're hearing on the radio?
05:07I don't listen.
05:08Radio?
05:08I don't even have a radio.
05:10Yeah.
05:10I've heard about them.
05:11It's a wireless.
05:12You have a wireless.
05:13I've seen it.
05:14Oh, the wireless, yeah.
05:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:15I don't listen to music on the radio.
05:17I have internet, they call it, and I hear music on that.
05:21I've been listening to a lot of poker music lately,
05:23which just has a great beat.
05:27You know, a lot of people say, well, where's the drumming?
05:30They say, it's in the air.
05:33Well, didn't you create power poker?
05:35I tried to, yeah, but we ran out of power.
05:37Can I bounce some of the big names of today off of you?
05:42All right.
05:42Yes.
05:43Be gentle.
05:43You may bang the big names of today.
05:45Again, be gentle.
05:47What does she say name?
05:48Taylor Swift.
05:50Correct.
05:51Great.
05:51Taylor Swift.
05:52She can sing, and she can play and dance.
05:55She's got boots on a lot.
05:57She wears these boots.
05:58It's a great selection of boots, yeah.
06:00I like them mainly for the boots.
06:02Yeah.
06:02If I had legs like that, I wear boots bloody well, too, all the time, yeah.
06:06Well, that's you, aren't you?
06:08Sabrina Carpenter.
06:09Tiny.
06:10Not so tiny you could hold her up in your hand like this comfortably.
06:15But she stole from us.
06:17What?
06:17She did what?
06:18Oh, yeah.
06:18She's a photograph of her on her new record.
06:22She's on all fours.
06:23Oh, yeah, yeah.
06:24Just like Smell the Glove record, yeah, where there's a woman on all fours.
06:28Of course, that was only described.
06:29We never actually printed that up.
06:31Oh, yeah.
06:31Well, yeah, but in my mind, it was printed up, you know.
06:36Well, also in Sabrina Carpenter's mind.
06:38That's right, yeah.
06:39Last one, Lady Gaga.
06:40She's small as well.
06:42She's quite little.
06:43Yeah.
06:43But she's a dynamo.
06:44She's really impressive, you know.
06:47And it'll be fun to play with her one day.
06:49I like it, yeah.
06:49Great, yeah.
06:50She'd invite us.
06:52What can you tell us about performing with Elton John?
06:54How did it even come to be?
06:56He was in town in New Orleans where we were playing.
06:59And he said, yeah, he'd love to drop by and meet us.
07:02He came in.
07:03We sang with him a bit.
07:05And we said, would you like to do Stonehenge with us at the big show?
07:09And he said, I'll clear my calendar.
07:11By that, he meant he wasn't doing anything.
07:13And so he came in.
07:15He played with us.
07:16And except for certain things, it went very well.
07:19Elton bloody John.
07:20I know, yeah.
07:21I hear Sir Paul as a fan of music and your writing.
07:23Is there any greater compliment than that?
07:26Well, David has a little bit of a difference.
07:28No, we won't go into that.
07:29We won't go into that.
07:30I think he's a fine artiste.
07:32I love the man personally.
07:34I don't really.
07:36But he's obviously a talented bloke.
07:39He and I have a few differences.
07:42Eventually, we'll get over them because we will never see each other again.
07:46And we'll just move on from there.
07:47A greater pleasure for us, I think, would be finally to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
07:54Right.
07:54I don't like to say that.
07:56Well, you just said it.
07:57But I did.
07:57And let it be said that I did.
08:00Let it be.
08:01See, you're plugging his stuff already.
08:02No, I'm not.
08:02I said let it be said.
08:04That's how I say it.
08:05What does the future of Spiletap look like?
08:07Is there a future?
08:08What's next?
08:09What does our future look like?
08:13Hmm.
08:14It's a calendar with a lot of days on it.
08:16That's how Vorkapik would look at it.
08:18I don't know.
08:18Kind of a montage.
08:19I don't know the answer to that.
08:20Pages flying off the calendar.
08:21It's a mystery.
08:22Yeah, it's true.
08:23It's a big question mark.
08:24You know, the world and life, it's all made up of corners.
08:28And we can't see around corners, no matter how hard we try.
08:32Well, you can if you walk and just turn the corner.
08:34No, then you're not looking around the corner.
08:37You've turned the corner.
08:38What I'm saying is, who knows?
08:40Anything could happen, Dave.
08:41Yeah.
08:42Any last advice for fans or aspiring musicians?
08:45I would boil it down to three words.
08:47Please rock responsibly.
08:51Follow your dreams.
08:53And maybe get a dog to help you follow them.
08:56Right, yeah.
08:57Especially if your eyesight is fading.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Or if you can't hear.
09:01Yeah.
09:04Or if you can't hear.
