Comment by stringerrathead

That was a great interview! Finally a good interviewer, haha.

I agree.. great interview & love the accent!

Comment by Andrea Lam

That was probably the most friendly and kind hearted interview ive seen from a7x ever…they really connected and Syn seemed TOO friendly, usually hes a bit quieter but when he went out of his way to get the bottle, it just seemed natural. He seems like the nicest guy. this was the best interview to date from A7x, no doubt! :)

Greatest. Interview. Ever. It’s nice to seen Brian in a good, loose mood during an interview. It makes me happy!

Comment by James

Loved that…not a lot of good interviews but this guy is really natural at it.

Comment by SarahtheGreat

Syn just saw Down, he probably smoked up, that’s why he was so chill lol

Comment by Nick

Comment by EmilyA7X

It’s nice to see Syn give a good interview that he’s actually in to, instead of just kind of go through the motions like he usually does. Probably also helps that the interviewer was a total boss too hahaha

Comment by Tom

I really love this interview!
And.. I also love the “By Myself” intro at the beginning and the end of the video. Glad to have 2 of my favourite bands LP and A7X together :)

Comment by Carol

Yeah, LP and A7X are 2 of my favorite bands too!

Gotta love great interviews where the interviewer knows what he’s talking about and Syn really engages. Toast to Jimmy!

This is one of the best interviews w/ Syn that I’ve ever seen! The interviewer was great, and I think that made Syn more at ease and effortlessly friendly. :D
