  • Tom could really be an idiot. It was as if he didn't want Lennon to demystify the 'Beatle-thang', but Lennon went forward anyway. While he (Lennon) outlined the importance of getting laid, the part about his and George and Paul's genius got lost. What a loss! Their early songs were not mockery, but they became mockery later. The early stuff was more like a diary that American kids could relate to. But Snyder couldn't reflect on that because he was following a script. No deepness. Idiot.

  • 1:44 I felt like falcon kicking his face right then...

  • @speeddave00: let's invent a time machine and save John. Wouldn't it just be incredible to have John as a dinner guest and pick his brain. I would grab two guitars of mine and play Julia while he sang. Imagine, imagine that!

  • If John Lennon was here then Oasis would not be a lot.Copy

  • Wow... Tom is a cunt

  • hahaha "we used to call them slags" brilliant

  • They were going to kill him either way. I listen to his solo Music Everyday for years and, It still sound's as fresh and wonderful as it always has. If I could sum John up in one word it would be God.

  • tom snyder is a condescending prick

  • Its amazign how he caled the 80's music, with "new" instruments. He knew what was coming before it came. 

  • John, December 8, 1980 Please dont go home.....Go to a hotel, go ANYWHERE!!! This man is my idol

  • @speedave00 He wanted to Kiss and put his Five year Old to Bed. The Scumbag CIA Loco Trash would have came back a week or month or year later, to get his rock's off. Believe me, I wish I was the limo Driver and knew what the Tragic Demise that took place on that cold Monday night. I would have ran him over and over with the Car, John and Yoko would have been Shocked! But when they would have got the 38 off of him they would give me 2 year's maybe in jail.I have newpaper clips my mom gave me.....

  • YESSSS NO YOKO NEXT TO HIM ,,YESSSSSS

  • @scattyballs Thats why that interview is good!

  • God I hope he's denied citizenship and has to go back home to England.

  • i'd like to kick tom snyder's ass

  • Comment removed

  • @jefster1961 i know there was something, Tom Persona: so is that his name, "for real"?

  • Lennon was one of the greatest, most honest men who ever lived.

  • this guy seem to have come out from some john lsd trip

    **somthing in the middle of a clown a CIA agent a junkie himself a nazist a torturer an homosexual a cheap elvis impersonator a pusher a celebrity killer a dentist an insurance seller an astronaut nd something else

  • @lotorobly yes you know dan ackroyd borrowed tom persona for a few of his own characters

  • Also I think Snyder does a great interview. He doesn't ask the usual shitty interview questions, he actually asks stuff that makes Lennon think and give his own views on, and it bounces between them like a conversation.

  • Lennon's ideas at 1:00 are pretty profound really. Every mainstream performer nowadays is pretty much in the business because sex sells, and sex sells to get more sex.

  • Beautiful man

    

  • Awesome video. Howard Sterns Interview with McCartney is still the best! Oasis kicks ass get with you silly jerks!

  • damn i wish he'd talked about paul more ;)

  • Snyder is a disingenous twat

  • great video thanks. Nirvana!

  • I don't mind Snyder. Yes, very ironic how he goes on about drug use etc, but better this kind of interviewer than a suck up kind like you find nowadays.

  • 0:48 LOL

  • Comment removed

  • Good old Tom Snyder.  Most of his interviews he could've wrapped up in about 10 minutes. When John describes groupies and the perks of being a celebrity, anyone w/ an IQ over about 60 knew exactly what he meant. Tom belabors the point for another 15 minutes like he's trying to figure it all out. John must've been thinking: "Man, this guy's a little dense".

  • The funny thing is that Tom Snyder is plastered--check out his history. He ended up losing the entire show b/c of his drinking problems. So the irony is...Lennon is the soberer of the two. Love you John.

  • I never realized how obnoxious Tom Snyder was as an interviewer.

  • @chuckiejay I think that was just his style, just like Barbara Walters has her style...

  • snyder is backhandedly trying to reveal moral depravity in john lennon and the beatles

  • He was into Into disco, who knew. Actually that was an interesting answer in that disco was really just starting in April 1975. The Hustle would not come out until that summer

  • it's interesting to see how upset Lennon appears when he is thinking back to Yoko.

  • I love Tom but damn he comes off as the biggest square in this interview. He's gotten much better over the years though.

  • Holy shit this interviewer is weird!

    Proof = 1:45

  • tom snyder sucks. howard stern would have been great interviewing lennon

  • @Flerg3 couldnt agree more...howards interview with paul in 2001 is still my favorite hes ever done

  • This is hard to watch. Not because John is gone, not because he's giving a poor interview (which he's not), but because Tom Snyder is a fucking retard.

  • Snyder is a supreme fucking doucherag, fucking prick beyond belief. It's amazing Lennon could sit through this intolerable twat.

  • @flarbton Word!

  • we promoted peace they promoted war, john lennon art his best, he knew.

  • 5:52 - Wow he just described Oasis...

  • @Anything2DoWithFilm oasis was not 1988 my friend and they just jumped on the band wagon that was the stone roses - that was 1988... but the interviewer was breathtakingly prophetic about the stone roses, thats fer sure!

  • fuck you!! and Oasis

  • @Anything2DoWithFilm yea.... no

  • @Anything2DoWithFilm you mean Oasis who did nothing but copy the Beatles!!!

  • @Anything2DoWithFilm Yeah, a poor man's version of The Beatles.

  • @Anything2DoWithFilm Yeah, but where The Beatles are the greatest group of all time and were ground-breaking, needless to say, in everything they did, Oasis sucked.

  • This guy is really undermining to John. "that group" teh, you mean the greatest rock and roll band of all time.

  • gurtsblobs and zackdungas
