music interview per se

Very safe

This and the other one with the famous "My favourite colour is gold" reply 😂

I watch this every day

It’s fookin *r u b b i s h*

Yeah, he was like the Lou Reed of the 80s, a trolling powerhouse!

"Oh, god...."

If you listen to their early demos, the influence of Joy Division is obvious. In fact, they sound more like New Order than Joy Division!

It's the goth kids from south park

Love it. It seems like this kind of attitude amongst groups was so common throughout the 80s. Bands would slag each other off, even though in reality they may have had a lot of admiration and respect for one another.

I actually wrote a script based around this type of exaggerated interview. I'm a huge fan thought it was really funny and I'm sure Joy Division found it funny too.

You can't exaggerate a J&MC interview. Whatever you think was beyond them, they most likely did it. God love Jim & William, they were funny as hell.

Thank god haha I was like ah wtf that’s so unexpected and kinda disappointing cause I love joy division

except for Ian curtis he was already dead

Deliberately on purpose- Jim Reid winding him up!

He's a singer too, Bart Peeters, quite popular

Caitlin Klask 😂😂😂😂

That made me crack up 😂😂

Every goddamn time I revisit this wonderful clip, I laugh my ass off. That genuinely shocked reaction, oh and that short but loud silence before "Oh god...."

He never expect that answer hahahah.

oh god

His heart was shattered

From this event was coined the expression "a shocked intake of breath".

Me too, me too.

I laugh every time Jim says “rubbish” 😂😂

jim reid is the nutz. he inspires me every single day o mah life, ya ken.....nice wan, jim.

In countries like the UK and Australia 🇦🇺 there was a certain street attitude which William Reid captures perfectly during this interview. People into Alternative/Indy were smarter. By 1985, bands like Duran Duran, the Culture Club, Spadau Ballet etc. E.g. this cottage industry of 80's Brit pop which, initially, was a clear break from the 70's. However, by 1985 things were getting darker and bands, and surprisingly so-called Alternative bands like The Cult, The Smith's, the Sisters of Mercy and our noise champions the Jesus and Mary Chain put distorted guitar back on the scene. The Bros Reid Were way smarter than they looked and came across. People's jealousy had them pegged as heroin addicts. Imagine the surprise of the press, in particular the UK Indy/Alternative press who were still stuck in '75 with their anti-Zeppelin tirades. The Brothers Reid were . . . calculating and smart and avoided the traditional Indie image traps. E.g. there aren't any huge exposes on the JAMC by the NME or Melody Maker as Psychocandy was THE UK Alternative album for a lengthy 18 months. Released in very late 1985, Psychocandy surprised everyone.

Then he says "shite" and takes it away again.

Danny Worsfold wrong... he was deadly serious... he understood rock n Roll could be cool and ambitious in equal measure.. they were like the Ghallagers (Oasis) in that sense, 10 years ahead of their time!

They knew they had him when he asks for an explanation for their opinion. In writing it's called, "kill your darlings"... You have to remain neutral, this dude failed.

that statement "unlike the gallgher brothers, they actually had talent" makes you a fool. just a random stranger fyi ;)

Adwel Phinehas lmao you're such a fuckboy

Oasis had no talent? What does that make you then?

You are trying way too hard to be cool to say oasis had no talent. Im not even a fan but fuck off lol

LMAOOOOO

That ‘cretin’ is Karen Parker, his then-girlfriend, who also happens to sing on ‘Just Like Honey’ if I’m not mistaken. I agree about the brilliance though.

Damn! That's some all-star trivia and she's an all-star cretin!

Jack Miller She’s a veritable legend, man! Nobody does it (i.e. her original studio part) better. (‘Lost In Translation’-derived Bond-related allusion intended.) Her voice was pure liquid honey. Or am I thinking of Hope Sandoval? Oh well… so many talented girls, so little time.

Ahhh, you never understand: gals with voices just like honey sow seeds in a hole inside me... It's so hard, the hardest walk, even, from my little underground to living end of greatness. You trip me up.

+Jack Miller Ha. :)

There's nothing sincere about it lol

I know but I love how he brings it up in every single interview and in every single interview the interviewer has no idea how to respond.

Niamh Browne yeah they were pretty legendary at starting shit lol. I saw them on the reunion tour like two years ago and jim reid and william reid were arguing on stage back and forth.

I just wanted to see him do a hair flip like the little goth kid on south park

😂 yes!

Drooogs

Haha

It was a joke he's not being serious. He says so himself.

I understand it was a serious joke alright. ; )

He was told before the interview that the interviewer was huge JD fan.

who's the interviewer, i want to know his name

@@dimashadiwardani Bart Peeters

God oh God

Jim is 100% serious I prefer jamc to joy divison but Jim is a bit washed joy division we’re actually good and influential

nah he was jjust trying to provoke the interviewer.

The presentor used to have his own band, Bart Peeters and the Radios which made silly pop music, so I doubt het was a JD fan, well, not as much as the brothers Reid.

T Bunnag It's his girlfriend, she's actually the one who does the back up vocals in "just like honey" :)

Alonso Esquinca what’s her name?

@@dekgebfoot4085 karen parker

Velvet Underground and the Smiths were legendary
