don't think that's been posted.

Does anyone have the link to the interview where the interviewer and Tom sort of fall-out during the interview? Its pretty awkward and I can't find it again. It hasn't already been posted above.

Thanks

Is it a video, an audio interview, or an article? There are a few different interviews with Tom that get pretty awkward because of something the interviewer brought up, or the interviewer just being a douchebag in general.

Here's an interesting two-part interview with Tom. The first one was done over the telephone and didn't turn out too well, so then he re-did it over e-mail later and the interviewer compared the answers. Click.

Also, [here] is an audio interview done during a K-Rock Cleveland show that results in Tom leaving. The interviewer was a twat though.

Thanks, it wasn't either of those. Its a written article and i think it starts with the interviewer stating that he knows he wound Tom up and stuff and that it got awkward. I found it on google a while back, but could never find it again. Thanks for posting the other articles, the tour diary was really interesting. I wish it went on longer. I'd love to know what he thought of some shows I have been at.

Yeah, I loved the tour diary. It'd definitely be interesting to hear what Tom had to say about playing shows that you've actually experienced. Hmm, the article you mention sounds really familiar..it seems like a lot of interviewers mention that Tom was somewhat guarded or intimidating though, haha.

I think I'd be scared shitless to interview Tom myself. I wouldn't ask stupid questions like a lot of people do, but it would still be nerve wracking.

Not sure if it's been posted before, but i really enjoy this one

thats sweet. haha 30 seconds to mars... absolutely terrible.

I added a pae to the Extra Links section called 'Interviews', it's pretty empty but I'm working on adding some more.

sweet thanks lex!

You should add this one, cause it's super funny and awkward. Or just check out my youtube playlist cause it's got a bunch of AM! interviews saved.

Well the page is mostly for articles but I'll make a separate one for videos. I had originally put them on the video page but maybe I'll move them.

Ohhh, I see.

this is now my favorite interview, the interviewer isnt an ass and tom and andrew are really up beat.
my favorite part is tom saying no music is the girft, hope you like crap.

Yeah I like when Mike Davies interviews them, they always get along so well and it's fun to see. He's interviewed them on his BBC Radio show before too.

i think its associated press...mentions they will be touring with Ted Leo in October.

Edit: just read the front page...if someone wants to redirect this to the "articles" section that woudl be fantaaaastic

Anybody see the new issue of Magnet? AM! are on the cover, and get interviewed by Ben Lee. Its a pretty good interview. Tom "We Are Gods. American Gods of Foosball"

I think that's pretty old actually, I got it about a month ago.

Has anyone seen the one on aestheticguitar's myspace, that's my favorite interview ever.

i found that one from here, but that is a fucking fantastic interview hahaha. also, i don't remember ever putting my myspace link up here..

Speaking of good article, the against me! cover story in kerang, "The reason punk rock still matters" or somthing like that, was quite good and in depth, earlier this year. Although I'm sure its been discussed.
