Tom Petty he ain't.
He got better after Billy Bob had his tantrum... but I would expect an interviewer would treat their band with a little more respect than that. It was really, "so Billy Bob, is this your real passion instead of acting? forget that you're the drummer and these other guys are more important to the band, you're the only important one here."

He wanted his bandmates to get more respect. How he went about responding to that was very strange.

The Canadian music industry is full of no-name bands without a twist that get exclusive interviews. This should have been no different, especially if that was a condition of appearing for the interview.
