We talked to MatchboxTwenty frontman ThisIsRobThomas about the band's latest album.
, his quartet’s anthemic new outing, and what animates relatable everyday characters in “Rebels,” “Don’t Get Me Wrong,” “Queen of New York City,” and an edgy teenage reminiscence dubbed “Wild Dogs .” And a good part of his protagonists’ allure is the man’s warm, neighborly singing voice, a friendly, familiar tone that has earned him three Grammys, 11 BMI Awards, a Hal David Starlight Award, and rare Diamond status for, Matchbox 20’s unassuming debut, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary.
“I’m on the Slow Dream tour bus now, so I’ve got nothing but time,” says the 51-year old, who just finished Ling Ma’s quirky novel, Beth De Araujo’s jaw-dropping new Netflix horror flick. “I watched it two days ago, and Holy shit! Oh, My God!” He gasps, without giving the plot away. “And it was kind of shot in real time, so it’s so fucking scary, the way that that situation devolves. It’s kind of a metaphor for how the actual larger conversation is devolving over time.
Bottom line? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, swears Thomas, who was just resoundingly cheered when Matchbox 20 took the comeback-tour stage in Vancouver. It was a pleasant surprise, he adds, “Because there’s a part of you that’s just like, ‘Are people still going to even care? We haven’t released anything since 2017—is anybody going to really give a shit?’ But we went out there, and there they were, giving a shit. So it looks like it’s going to be a great tour.”: She’s hanging in there.
For just now, I relearned that last night—you get offstage at 1:00, and you’re amped. And by the way, when you’re young and single? That’s where all the trouble comes in, that little space right there, with all that extra energy and you need to burn it off somehow, and it usually involves bad decisions.
