Yeah, it baffles me that the 10th person who gets to interview someone leads with the same questions. I get that part of the reason the interviewee is there is to promote the new material, so you can't just ignore it, but look at late night shows: they have a fun cinversation for a while and for the last quarter they talk about their new material and promo it to the fans, though it is hard to promo something without an actual release date.
On second thought, the main problem is not even asking too much about the new record, it's asking lame questions. Ask how it changed compared to ITM, or if there are weird songs on it (ie. Wallflower), or if there's gonna be a song for Anders' second cousin once removed. Anything which asks about some new information. Maybe even ask them about the dates (cough Hungary cough) they promised to reschedule but failed to do so yet.
