Rolling Stone Q&A

I don't think Brian is a jerk but he's coming off as a bit of a jerk at the minute. He's obviously an introvert and seems to be struggling with a lack of down time but maybe he needs to think about who hes lashing out at. After all, his band would be nothing without us.

I also think there is a certain element of naivety.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure he advertised via Twitter the fact he would be updating Instagram from the studio earlier this year. The he changed the account to an official TGA one and started a new one in his own name, saying something along the lines of "privacy at last".

It just seems odd to set something up like that so publicly only to then hint his privacy had been invaded.

To be honest, Fallon could probably do with a decent press guy to sit in with him on interviews!!

Sorry, but what is wrong with that? I'm grateful that they decides to share some pictures from the recording process or their life on tour with us. But if he wants to post and share pictures of his private life only with friends and family,I honestly can't see anything wrong with that.

And whatever he choses as description for his account should be up to him, don't you think?

THAT. And he could have just kept the one account to himself, made it private, and never made a public gaslight one. So if anything we're lucky we get to see some cool pictures from time to time.

Also he's not like "privacy at last from you crazy people who invade my life. you suck." it's just like "yay, I can keep this for myself".

I think sometimes we forget (myself included) that anything they share with us beyond the music is really a bonus. Sure lot's of bands do stuff like this but there's no rule saying they have to or they're a jerk.
