- Liverpool. - Liverpool.
That's really- I was gonna ask you guys, come on, can I hear your best Scouse accent.
Comes out straight away.
- Chicken. - Liverpool.
- Chicken - Chicken.
- Chicken. - I can only say Liverpool.
We're here at a top secret location in Liverpool and we're here for a very special occasion.
Yes, 5 Seconds of Summer are about to join me on this very sofa and what are we gonna
talk about? Well, there brand new book obviously. And it's called, Hey, Let's Make a Band, and
I like it.
What an exciting day for you guys, your book signing. How excited are you to see all of
your fans out there?
- Very excited. - Very excited.
We don't get to come to Liverpool often and-
Signing books, this is weird.
I know. We're authors. Lemony Snicket, he's a friend of ours. No. I don't know, I
just named an author, I don't do that often.
Dr. Seuss. Book rapper.
But, yeah, it's cool to be doing that and- we always wanted to release a book and I think
this book's special to us because it sort of tells the tale of how we began and I don't
think that gets told too accurately too often so I think it's a great thing that we're doing
this.
Well, I've got the book, it's in Spanish though so I haven't read it; I don't speak Spanish!
Oh, that's unfortunate.
But the pictures are great!
- Yeah. - Can we get this lady an English one?
Yeah, I only know a little bit of Spanish.
Oh, there's an English one.
Here's an English one.
Now, guys, when you look through this book, do you get a bit emotional looking back at
your journey together?
- Let's see if it triggers emotion. - Let's see, right now.
I think the good thing about writing this book, looking back on those times that we
had, just- I dunno, it was nice to look back because we never get to do that; we're constantly
moving around.
What can fans expect from this book? Any secrets or anything your fans who know everything
about you don't know about you. What can they expect?
I mean, there's lots of stuff in here that fans have no idea about us, you know what
I mean, I think it goes into a little bit about our families and our upbringings and
music and everything. How we, I don't know, how it all came to be. It works out in a funny
way, this band because it's kind of against the odds kind of thing.
A very unlikely story.
Yeah.
I dunno, there's not much about- we always talk about our story in interviews and stuff
and the most dedicated of fan of ours would know lots of that stuff, but some of the stuff
in there is about our families and all that stuff, so I think that comes across well in
the book.
Are there gonna be any naked pictures? Because you guys, you do like getting your kit off.
I don't know if we did the naked phase in this- if pictures have been taken.
Just young.
Young. We're very young in this book.
Young and chubby.
- That can be for the next book. - Young and chubby is great.
The next book maybe.
- Oh yeah, you look good bro. - I look tubby.
We are- yeah, there's not nudity in this book.
I don't think there is. There's, like, one photo.
That's alright though, that's a good thing.
Guys, what would be your message to all your fans out there who've supported you from the
start? I mean, even here today, hundreds of people turning up to see you guys, what would
be your message to them?
I don't know. I think this book marks more than just, "Oh we've made a book." I think
it's, like, tells the story of three years so far and hopefully we make another one in
another three years and there's more people or- I mean, 12 fans or 12 million fans, it
doesn't matter, it's all important and I hope there's many years to come to make more-
To make more books!
And of course, Micahel's missing out on today. I heard he's really jealous you guys went
to Nandos without him, I've heard he's missing all these experiences; are you sharing with
him over skype, phone calls, instant messaging?
We're not skyping Michael! We haven't seen him in two days! No, we spend our life all
together. It sucks that he's not here but we didn't want to let everyone down, so.
He does love Nandos though.
- He does. - Yeah, he does.
Where do you guys see yourself in 5 years time?
Hopeful!
Liverpool!
Liverpool.
No, hopefully we've made a few more albums and we're a better band than we are now.
Amazing, and quickly, plans for Christmas? What's a Christmas like in Australia.
- It's hot. - Probably be on the beach.
I dunno, I think that sounds very stereotypical Australian, but-
- It does. - Thanks man.
- Yes, it does. - Thanks. Thanks for that.
No, I think we'll go home to Australia and Sydney and just do what Australians do on
Christmas, I guess. It'll be hot.
Brilliant guys, well thank you so much and good luck with the signing!
