00:00 On les a découvert sur RTL2 avec d'autres chansons, on y reviendra un petit peu plus
00:06 tard dans le courant de cette émission.

00:10 Welcome here.
00:11 Nothing but thieves.
00:12 How are you ?

00:14 Alors il y a à mes côtés Connor, il y a Dominique et il y a Joe.
00:20 Well, this is a new album coming.
00:22 We're going to talk about that later.
00:24 But first of all, I want you to sing a song which is overcome.
00:28 What can we say about that song before you sing it ?
00:31 Qu'est-ce qu'on peut dire de cette chanson avant que vous la chantiez ?
00:33 C'est Dominique qui répond.
00:34 Overcome is a driving song for me.
00:38 C'est une chanson pour conduire.
00:40 Why that ?
00:41 You know the name of the show is drive.
00:44 It's like I saw it behind your shoulder.
00:46 C'est un truc derrière son épaule.
00:48 It's driving down the highway, the sun's going down.
00:51 It's a feel good song.
00:52 Une chanson feel good, on roule sur l'autoroute comme ça et le soleil est en train de tomber.
00:57 On fait souvent des chansons triste.
00:59 C'est une approche très différente pour nous.
01:01 Mais on est des grands fans de ça.
01:03 On aime ça.
01:04 D'habitude, ils font plutôt des chansons tristes.
01:05 Là, en l'occurrence, c'est une chanson un peu différente et ils adorent cette chanson.

06:18 The future's overdue, you're under that.
06:46 Yeah, we were very, very fortunate enough to be asked to support Muse.
06:51 We've probably done about 20 shows of them now.
06:53 They did the first part of Muse, about 20 concerts.
06:56 What did you learn?
06:59 It's a masterclass in being able to put on the most amazing theatrical show you'll ever see, the production.
07:07 He says it's a masterclass, it's perhaps one of the biggest shows we've seen.
07:12 Everything is big.
07:13 It's bigger, bigger is better.
07:15 It probably had an effect on us in the past.
07:17 We've gone now and done a concept album, and it's so sort of wide and big screen.
07:21 Because they did concept albums.
07:22 They've done everything.
07:23 And let me translate.
07:24 He says it's a masterclass, it's always bigger, and the bigger it is, the better it is.
07:27 And in fact, Joe adds that maybe they gave you the idea of a concept album, Muse.
07:33 Well, let's not go that far, but maybe.
07:35 Maybe.
07:36 Very good.
07:37 I'd like to clarify for the RTL2 listeners, because you may not know this, but you've sold 1.2 million albums.
07:46 You sold more than a million records, so now you can do Stadium 2.
07:50 Yeah, I think we're going to just...
07:52 Muse can support us now.
07:53 I think we've done a lot of streaming, but I don't think we've sold a million records.
07:58 Yes, you did.
07:59 Wow.
08:00 I think so.
08:01 We're now actually looking at Sony and they're going, "No, no, no."
08:04 So, I'm telling you the joke, because you've sold more than a million albums, so soon you'll be able to do Stadium 2 too.
08:11 And Dominique tells me, "Now, Muse is going to do our first part now."
08:15 And everyone turns to the guys, the friends of the record company who are there, and they're like, "Oh no, no, no, you haven't sold..."
08:22 So, ask them for money.
08:24 Yeah, we're going to release more records.
08:26 How was born the band?
08:29 How was this band born?
08:31 Well, we've all been friends and family for a very long time.
08:34 They've been friends for an eternity.
08:36 We started... We all know each other really from school.
08:39 They met at school.
08:40 Phil, the bass player, sadly he's not here. He's still alive, but he's not here. He's my cousin.
08:46 There's a Philippe who's not here, but he's the bass player.
08:48 And his mother is French, isn't she?
08:50 Yeah.
08:51 Wow, good knowledge.
08:52 Yeah, serious knowledge.
08:54 He doesn't know?
08:56 No, I know. How do you know?
08:58 Because I do my job.
09:01 There's some good research.
09:03 But don't ask him to speak French to you because he hasn't sort of brushed up on it yet.
09:08 So, we miss the bass player, Philippe and James, the drummer and the bass player.
09:13 But you met all together at school.
09:15 You met... I say we don't have the drummer, we don't have the bass player. Sorry, I didn't translate.
09:19 And you all met at school. You met all together at school.
09:22 Yes, so Joe and I were in a band when we were... I mean, I think I was 15, 14, 15?
09:28 There was a couple of years when Joe and Connor were together in a...
09:31 And Joe raised me up and took me out drinking and having a good experience. That was great.
09:37 It's true as well.
09:39 Did it save you or did it make you drink?
09:42 No, it was the best thing ever. I just got to enjoy being in a band with his older mates.
09:47 He let you take a huge drink, I get it.
09:52 It was very good, yeah. So that's how we started.
09:54 And then first EP, it was in '14, and then first album.
09:58 And there's one point. You never tell the truth about the name of the band.
10:03 I read preparing that show...
10:06 I say they never said... So they started in 2014 with a first EP and then their name is "Nothing But Thieves".
10:11 Which literally means "Nothing but thieves".
10:13 In French we say "Rien que des voleurs".
10:17 "Nothing but thieves". This is the translation.
10:20 So I've read that you never told the truth about the name of the band.
10:25 What is the truth of today in my show?
10:27 What is the truth of today?
10:29 Ok.
10:30 Well, invent something.
10:31 This is actually the truth. I'm going to give you the actual truth this time.
10:35 You want to hear it?
10:36 Ok, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:38 He's telling me the truth.
10:40 La première fois qu'on est venu ensemble, on était à l'extérieur de la salle de réhearsal,
10:45 à l'extérieur de la salle de pratique de la bande.
10:47 La première fois qu'ils se sont retrouvés en répétition.
10:50 Et il y avait du graffiti sur la murée.
10:53 Il y avait du graffiti sur le mur.
10:56 Et il disait "Lianne"...
10:59 Est-ce que tu dis "Volure"?
11:01 "Voleur".
11:02 "Voleur".
11:03 "Voleur".
11:04 Il disait ça en français, et on a dit que ça serait un bon nom de bande en anglais.
11:09 Tu me trompes.
11:11 C'est un bon nom de bande.
11:13 C'est la plus mauvaise blague que j'ai jamais entendu.
11:17 Je vous explique ce qu'il a dit, parce que vous avez compris qu'ils n'ont jamais dit la vérité.
11:21 Et donc la première fois qu'ils se sont retrouvés pour répéter, il y avait écrit en français ce que je viens de leur apprendre.
11:25 Rien que des voleurs.
11:26 Ok, c'est ma version, je garde ça, c'est ça?
11:28 Bon, allons jouer une autre chanson, mais avant de la faire entendre,
11:33 allons écouter ça.
11:38 Qui me dit comment est née la chanson?
11:41 Qui me dit comment est née la chanson?
11:43 Comment est née la chanson?
11:44 Oui, cette chanson.
11:45 Je ne me souviens plus. Est-ce que quelqu'un s'en souvient?
11:47 Elle a été vraiment cassée dans la boîte.
11:48 C'était si proche, très très proche d'être cassée.
11:51 Ils ont failli ne pas la garder cette chanson. Pourquoi?
11:54 Dom a sauvé cette chanson.
11:55 C'est Tom qui a sauvé cette chanson.
11:56 J'ai eu un peu de soutien de vie.
11:58 On avait commencé à l'écrire, et Connor a beaucoup croit à la chanson.
12:05 Connor y croyait beaucoup, mais le reste de la bande n'était pas ok.
12:09 Vous n'avez pas aimé?
12:10 Beaucoup de réservoir.
12:12 Mais il y a une confiance dans cette bande, et une règle inécrite,
12:17 si quelqu'un a vraiment confiance en quelque chose,
12:19 nous donnons tout ce qu'on peut pour essayer de faire fonctionner.
12:22 Et lui, il croit dans le groupe, il fait tout pour que ça avance bien et que ça marche.
12:26 Et nous avons réécrit un peu de la musique, je pense, et on a changé la démo,
12:31 et nous sommes tombés amoureux de la chanson.
12:33 On a changé 2-3 trucs, ils ont refait un peu de musique,
12:35 ils ont refait la démo, et puis c'est devenu...
12:37 C'est devenu un grand hit.
12:39 C'est le closeur ultime de notre show.
12:42 Vous ne pouvez pas trouver un meilleur closeur.
12:44 Ça vous emmène à la maison dans le bon mode.
12:47 Oui, c'est un bon moment, et c'est quelque chose qui met dans un bon mood dans le show.
12:51 Bon, au bout de cette show, s'il vous plaît,
12:53 je veux que vous chantez une chanson d'une de mes bandes préférées,
12:58 Radiohead.
12:59 Est-ce que ça a eu une grande influence sur vous?
13:01 Oui, c'était la première influence sur nous.
13:04 Je me souviens très tôt de l'écoute...
13:06 C'est "Colourful", c'est une influence massive pour moi,
13:08 c'est même l'influence du départ pour moi.
13:10 C'était une chanson sur le premier album, "Thinking About You",
13:13 et j'étais comme "Oh, c'est vraiment cool pour Rock",
13:16 ça m'a mis à la voix.
13:18 Et il dit "Mais cette chanson est absolument incroyable".
13:21 Donc, la chanson que vous devez jouer maintenant est "Fake Plastic Tree",
13:24 et nous jouons habituellement cette chanson de Radiohead,
13:27 c'est votre chanson maintenant.
13:29 Merci.

18:26 Yes.
18:27 It started in September, Washington, then the East Coast, then the West Coast.
18:33 Congratulations.
18:34 Thank you.
18:35 And happy to meet you for the first time.
18:37 Hope you will be back again.
18:38 Thank you very much.

18:41 We had an appointment with Connor, with Joe and with Dominique,
18:44 who are three of the five members of this group, "Nothing But Thieves".
18:47 And now I know...
18:49 We're the band, I can't tell you the truth.
18:52 I know the truth.
18:53 Now I know why the band is called like that.
18:56 They're having a good time.
18:57 Thank you very much, guys.
18:58 It's nice to have you.
18:59 See you soon.
