"A song of fire and ice" GRRM almost lost his shit

WHAT? A song OF FIRE AND ICE?

"A Song of Fire and Ice" Jesus fucking christ, at least get the name right before interviewing the Author.

I laughed so hard at 1:29. You can see a short flash in his eyes of him thinking: " the fuck did you just call it?!"

SPOILER ALERT: The interviewer dies in book 6 .

The look on George RR Martin's face when the interviewer says "a song of fire and ice," priceless.

"I want to make my readers cry." - George R.R. Martin

Martin is really interesting to listen

01:29 George's reaction looool "oh youre lucky youre not a character in my book fucker..."

GRRM is a born storyteller. I could listen to him talk all day.

At least he didn't say "A song of Ire and Fice." Ha ha...I'm funny and semi handsome Ladies!

GRRM tells here that the Song of Ice and Fire is about the White Walkers vs. Dany and Her Dragons - the problem and antidote. The first book, "A Game of Thrones", the opening salvo of the series, starts with the problem of the White Walkers and ends with Dany birthing the dragons. This makes it clear - Dany is Azor Ahai and the Princess That Was Promised

The interviewer isn't very good. But Martin is being very kind.

Good luck with finishing the books George, it's such a huge task and I hope you can do it.

"song of fire and ice" "game of thrones and a song of ice and fire" "You have three story lines. Why?" "You now have 35 characters. Why?" Jesus fucking christ!

This. This man is the type of smart I wish most people could embrace. So intuitive and to the point. Less fluff, more stuff

The interviewer's summary of the plot is almost painful to listen to

Al Jazeera are big fans. Their favorite scene is the beheading of Ned Stark.

George is a genius!

I'm reading your book George RR Martin clash of kings I'm loving it I really am thank you for giving this world so much

obligatory "a song of fire and ice" comment.

Even with the gaff at the beginning, this is still a great interview. Thank you for posting.

My favorite author. A great writer with an even greater personality.

George R.R. Martin reminds me of Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams, with their book series Tunnels, in his writing style. They all give you a character, give you their back story, plans for the future, and then they kill them. Brutally and when you least expect it.

A Song of Ice and Fire stand for the Other and Dany with her dragon not Jon and Dany. George RR Martin said it, so shippers were wrong.

George R.R Martin is amazing!!!

"to people who aren't familiar with your work" So he means himself? A song of Fire and Ice lmao

George, you are an inspiration to writers everywhere. Even if you don't finish your series, your passionate and detailed world you have created will excite whoever reads your song of ice and fire novels for years to come.

my fave author and fave news outlet ❤️

triggered less than 15 seconds into the video

This interviewers mouth is far too animated - it's like a cartoon! Also, that ending was priceless. George seems so surprised that his distinctive and quirky look is somehow popular.

It's great that he touches his beard before answering each question.

The clash between Dany and the Night King is the TRUE song of ice and fire.

Yaz Jon&Dany ❤️ A Song of Ice&Fire ❄️🔥👸🏼🤴🏻

Fantastic Interview, good job.

I love song of fire and ice its great

Grrm has a sexy, sexy brain

18:04 *DON'T YOU FUCK WITH ME GEORGY BOY.* *I BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH OF YOUR SHIT ALREADY, I DON'T NEED YOU KILLING ANYBODY ELSE*

Nice interview.

I would have slapped him with the song of ICE and FIRE hardcover. How are you doing this interview?

I love you GRRM.

Thank you for your gift, George. We relish it too.

Thanks for making it take longer for the book to come out Al Jazeera...

As a published author myself, I was very interested to hear that George's first novel was slow to sell. I know the feeling well. I'll never be as popular as George, but it's nice to know that even great authors like George don't sell at first. But he gave me a good idea. He mentioned that he likes having pictures in his books. That really is unusual these days. So, now I'll have to dig out eight or ten good relevant photos and illustrations for my own book and upload them to Amazon.com Getting back to George, he's a great talker, and fascinating to listen to. He must have spent weeks and months learning about all the facts of what way kings and queens won and lost their thrones. And as the say "If history repeats itself, the same thing will happen again" And of course it really does. We see the same vices, the same plots, again and again down through history from the dawn of time. And as he said there's a constant battle between good and evil. That fight is there today and will continue to be with us all, for long into the future The very idea of good and evil fascinated me so much I actually wrote a book about it. I explained how good and evil were real entities, without a physical presence. I know that sounds a bit Irish, but, just put that to one side for the moment and bare with me They were inseparable, in the way you need the colour black to appreciate the colour white. They were very powerful gods. Mischievous gods, who really didn't care too much about anything, and certainly didn't care about you and me, or fair play. In the book one of my heros returns in time and kidnaps Adolf Hitler to give him a taste of his own medicine. Anyway I'd better stop there. George really is superb and I love Game of Thrones. It really is the best thing since sliced bread. Kind regards to you all - Chris Newton - Writer, Artist and Hypnotist - WWW.100Temptations.com

to interview grrm ask : about fire and ice? how are the game of thrones books doing,? why do you kill so many characters? why is there so much sex? are you going to finish?

"Soo, about your book... ehhh lord of the... ice 'n' ....fire-rings and ummh..."

2:30 "I haven`t read shit of your books" moment.

1:35, 2 seconds into the interview and you can see George’s face go from enthusiasm to “aw shit, another one of THESE ones.”

I love how he's reading the "for those of you who don't know" synopsis off of a card lol. He clearly doesn't know either.

I love George R.R Martins illustrated books particularly A Game Of Thrones Illustrated Edition

coffee table book... I fell sorry for the interviewer and also for George who delivered a great interview despite doing it uphill.

i liked that he explained the ice and fire title and the global warming reference

It's the Song of Ice and Fire. You obviously didn't even go your research.

He will have a special place for this interviewer in his next book. With a long, painful and quite messy death. People will ask him "where did that character go?" and he will just say: "wherever people who can't read go".

So glad AJAM stared posting their shows online since they stopped their free streaming online what seems to be forever ago.

wait in its fourth season? oh the accuracy is immense.

Yes,you should know the series name,if you make an interview with the writer. But there was a lot of good questions,and he was respectfull with goerge.but i cant believe nobody noticed that mistake,and its missunderstandable,because they doesnt do anything about it,even now when a lot of people whine about it. You cant leave this way.

Ive seen an early interview of GRRM where he himself mistakenly calls it "A Song of Fire and Ice"

"A Song of Fire and Ice" Good job buddy.

The interviewer has a resting "wtf is this guy talking about" face.

It's sooooo painful when the interviewer has no idea what the author's work is about.

All of the people complaining about the show going away from the books have to understand that a book that hasn't been finished cannot be adapted into a television series, and that in the end, Television and Books are two different things; they tell their own stories and we have to keep in mind that a TV show that needs to appeal general audiences more cannot feature too many subplots or complex storylines, at the end of the day, it's for television, it wouldn't translate perfectly on screen. They are two different ways of storytelling and yes, the books are better, but the TV show is great on its own and it's a blessing that we get to have an adaptation of such a great series that also happens to be one of the best.

1:29 GRRM was like, nigga what?

Gorge plz come back to New Zealand

This guy is pumping Georgie's tires a little excessively at times.

He was digging into star wars pretty hard there for a min xD

fire and ice

Really liked this interview. Didn't like how he took a stab at Tolkien though, but he's entitled to his opinion.

Ice and Fire sounds a lot better than Fire and Ice. It just has a better ring to it.

i lost myself at a song of fire and ice

1:41 thats how you start an answer to a question

Song of Fire and Ice...

His face when he hears "a song of fire and ice" 1:29

Judging by the comments most people would be Jofferey in GoT with furious denial ofc

7:07 You started with 9 POV characters and now there's 35! Yeah... that was my mistake...

The interviewer used to be on Fox. I dont think he believes in climate change lol

24:30 Wait a sec! There is a sexy George R,R, Martin halloween costume for the ladies?

George R.R. Martin: "Climate change is coming."

Holy Shit !! Triggered...

couldnt they find someone whos read the book

I wish ppl would stop interviewing him so he can get back to writing.

GEORGE IS MY NIGGA

at 16:02 sounds like lord of the rings

Jesus, the voice over sounds like he's a stereotypical high school nerd from the 80s

Who else thinks that people should back the fuck up when asking and nagging for the new book.

An interview with the author. Journalism.

Yeah I think I'm kind of like George with the memory thing. I can remember fictional characters and plot points from stuff I read 20+ years ago, but fucked if I can remember people I worked with 2 years ago, my cell number, or my postal code. Dammit I've never even memorized my SIN number lol.

HAHAH FIRE AND ICE! U HAD ONE JOB

messed it up in the first 16 seconds xD

6:58 rip

Would it have killed the interviewer to have done a little fn research.

yeah your brain defiantly works diffrent than other ppl

are you fucking kidding me with this fire and ice shit.....

I cannot for the life of me focus on what George is saying. I feel like taking a nap after listening to him talk.

I always thought the Ice was Jon Snow and the Fire was Dany. I suppose The Others are pretty important..*sulks*

16:30 what was that :D

Lol not even 10 seconds in and they couldn't even get one thing right

5:45

the reality of fiction: thank you GRRM!!!!!!!!

No more interviews w people who haven’t read the books. Or a book.
