I think you just need to meet these people understanding that they are human beings, and not godlike. We may have absolutely loved their music and admired their talents for decades but in the end....they're people.
Steve is well known for being very easy to get on with, and certainly when I met him he was pleasantness personified. Some people may not like to hear it put this way, but Mike & Tony are very stoic because of their upbringing. That does not mean they're in any way unpleasant…

What you say above is EXACTLY the reason why I dare not research this Dunnery bloke at all, lest I get bombarded with "eh eup, Ih'm a Nohhthrener wit chip ont shoaldur" videos. As for these "reaction" videos, I am at an utter loss (like many, many things in life) to understand;

2. What the interest is in literally watching a somebody listen to music. (are there similar videos where you can literally watch another somebody reading a book?)
Anyway, I heard that what with…
