You didn’t play any songs from A Bigger Bang

No, although we hope to make another record. All the stuff in the movie is very old, oh yeah, but it’s all still alive. And so am I.

How does watching yourself on stage make you feel?

Looking at yourself is always kind of weird! You think, ‘Oh, Christ! I just shaved that!’ But then you take a step back and just see the way things move around and then it comes. Charlie doesn’t have much option really, he’s just stuck on that seat. There’s not a lot of room for expression except through (he makes some drum noises). We’re musicians. Once we’re up there we have to lock in real tight and it’s not some game you are playing at.

In terms of your footage every single scene of your public life is well covered. I presume a lot of the stuff you saw for the first time?

It’s very true. Ever since I was 19 or 20 years old everything has been documented, my whole life. There’s never been a need to write a diary. I just look it up.

How did guest stars come about? Christine Aguilera and Buddy Guy?

To me that was one of the highlights of the movie. Buddy Guy with his amazing energy, amazing presence. I gave him the guitar. It’s for real. I did. At the end because he played so damn good. I said, ‘This one’s yours, pal.’
