Ryan Tedder and Eddie Fisher of One Republic joined me in studio for a quick chat yesterday. The last time I met the guys was at V Festival in 2008 so there was a lot of catching up to be had. Here at MTV HQ we're big fans of their new single 'All the right moves' and Ryan told me they took inspiration for the vid from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Well.. you know, without all the nudity.
They did have Tom Cruise lined up to do a topless scene but then those damn scientologists got in his way. Ah well.. maybe for the next video.
Then the conversation turned weird (er). Ryan told me about a recent encouner the band had with X Factor's hair raising twins Jedward. Apparently they knew all about the twins but were left tongue tied when John and Edward bumped into them at their hotel and started their incoherent bablings at them, speaking over each other and at about a million miles an hour. That's when the band started to take some steps backwards and made a quick exit. Shame they ended up bumping into them again at their hotel again a few hours later. Those Irish boys are persistant.
One Republic's new album 'Waking Up' is out now.
