This month, Chris Miller from You Me At Six runs the gauntlet of our random, stupid queries.
What was the first record you bought?
Offspring, ‘Americana’.
Do you have any hobbies?
Skateboarding, mountain biking, running.
What’s your biggest accomplishment?
Achieving a Number One album with the lads on ‘Cavalier Youth’!
How tall are you?
5’10”.
What is your most treasured possession?
A guitar my dad bought me when I was travelling with the family in Canada.
If you could bring something extinct back to life, what would you choose?
Dinosaurs. Jurassic Park would be sweet without all the mishaps.
What strength Nandos sauce do you order?
Mango and lime, then coat it in medium and extra hot. It’s more potent that way!
When’s your birthday?
26th November.
Do you believe in aliens?
Of course, I think it would be stupid to presume that we are the only ones in this giant universe.
What is the best present you’ve ever been given?
Probably a PlayStation 1. I played that thing to death.
Who’s your favourite new band?
Nothing But Thieves.
If you won the lottery, what would you spend the cash on?
We always talk about this between the band. We decided that we would all get a couple of mil each and pay off our mortgages, then invest the rest in the band. That way we could take all the hassle out of touring by balling around on Private Jets!
What’s your favourite smell?
Grass (both kinds) and when you first leave the house on a cold morning.
Have you ever seen a ghost?
I thought I did, but it could have just been sleep paralysis. Something was walking across my vision, but I couldn’t move or do anything about it. It was pretty cool (I guess?!).
What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?
Falling over on stage and being that drunk guy that everyone talks about the next day.
Who would play you in a movie of your life?
Frank from Shameless.
How punk are you out of ten?
4.
What is your earliest memory?
Crawling along the floor trying to get to this awesome toy my mum said I was attached to.
If you were on Mastermind, what would your specialist subject be?
Guitar or cars.
What’s your biggest fear?
I hate flying, but I have gotten better recently. That or being alone in the ocean with no land in sight.
Have you ever been thrown out of somewhere?
A couple of times. It’s normally mob mentality. We can be terrible drunks sometimes. We get far too excited.
What have you got in your pockets right now?
Phone, cigarettes, wallet. The age-old combo!
Tell us a secret about yourself?
It wouldn’t be a secret then, would it?
Taken from the November issue of Dork. You Me At Six’s album ‘VI’ is out now.
