"If I was a fan of myself....which I am"

[MrBrody1961]

[MrMrLemons]

lol "N A Double-C P"

[djbjam]

miles is the definition of LIKE A BOSS

[overlordspencerman]

The prince of darkness

[aaronamccoy]

[mussman717word]

7:50, LMAO!

[deusn0x]

True genius. 

[mssquirrely]

love that "Whisper" R.I.P. Miles Davis

[FliegendeHollaender]

Stockhausen.

Miles was sooooooo prog.

[Ahash31]

MIles wrote an autobiography and it rocks. check it out

[pickinstone]

Interesting what Miles had to say here about intellectual respect amongst the races. Something to be said about that.

[Ausir2001]

Don Cheadle as Miles Davis, what a great match!

[WILLOW5521]

He changed everything for musicians around the globe. In America, back in the early to mid 70's, musicians stayed up late nights trying to figure out what Miles was doing, trying to emulate his style, trying to add his style to their own vocabulary, and attempting to write styles that were maybe reminiscent of his. Miles had a huge impact on young musicians. He opened doors for musicians. All of the great fusion bands that hailed from his ranks. He was a genius!

[DjAntomattei]

@AmandlaDavis What DVD is this from?

[accidentalfilms]

As always, so truthful. Straight to it, baby.

[cavaleer]

One word ......SWAGGER!!! Before the word was ever used. Nothing like it anywhere else on the planet.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@cavaleer I could NOT have said that better myself.

[11CCG]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hunkstrum]

very interesting... cuz iv spent a very long time trying to sound like miles from the fifties :-)

[powderedtoastman2112]

No man is as cool as, or will ever be as cool as Miles Davis.

[Nathan00G]

@powderedtoastman2112 What about Charlie Parker?

[powderedtoastman2112]

@Nathan00G Oooh yeah, forgot about him...and without Parker there wouldn't really be a Miles Davis (or at least the one we all know today). And Charlie was also cool as fuck. Yeah he's up on Miles' level.

[tristicordX]

Miles Davis is the only guy who can just say "I'm cool" and everyone agrees.

[Consciousish]

I agree....

Every trumpet on a synthesizer, even today, sounds terrible.



[byan85]

"I'd rather die than not create anything on this earth."

Words of inspiration.

[dressedtosmellgood]

synthethizerz

Miles take on life and music was so refreshing and honest, smart and funny too! Miss ya, Miles. Thank you.

[nedgey]

"I'd rather die than to not create anything on this earth."

[Jordainio]

Miles invented GANGSTA

[bossmanski]

the n a double c p!!! did yall catch that? lol he can make dat mistake though!! RIP MIles!!!

[robertvideo]

Baddest man that ever lived.. I knew him since I was 16 - in 1975 - I used to hang with him at his brownstone on west end ave - I was at his house 3-4 times a week for many years - he was a sweet man and i still cry when I see him, hear his voice or music - RIP my dearest friend MDD III

[sweetsomething]

super hot <3333 & that voice i die!

[joelmanful]

@sweetsomething lmfao

[BodhiSvaha]

untouchable

[kharnvelzyghur]

just listening to him talk makes me a better jazz musician.

[palehousepress]

we found a reincarnation - pale house

[dannyboy342]

For some reason, after watching this I feel quite thirsty...

Genius

[DarqueBeauty]

That was awesome! RIP Miles.

[BlackBronson]

"NAdoubleCP! hahaha

[rozebabyolifantje]

hahaha, "if i was a big fan of myself, which i am, i wouldn't listen to myself from the sixties".

nice.

[et6yEhzxexzhrz]

5:55 Ha! Miles calls the sounds of mass produced synthesizers an ideological apparatus!

[LSDpeasantry]

"you can do a chin-up on it" lol

[gatorio]

THE master teacher!

[BLUTOV]

"If I can't put anything into this music, I'd rather die"....what a bad mutha Miles was. George Foreman said the same thing after he fought Ali...Foreman said "The man was ready to die out there, I couldn't do nothing with that man, he came out there ready to die" When a man says these things, his commitment is unshakable. A real man knows and respects this.

[aaronamccoy]

cat knew what is up

[RappoldXJay]

He has the most fucked-up voice ever. In a good way.

[phishhead11]

"If I was a fan of myself, which I am..."

[jazzmunky]

Holy crap he's too cool. I want to be like him!

[cllamont]

coolest man that ever lived

[hectorthespector]

@cllamont I'd say if Miles & Bukoski somehow managed to have a kid together he'd be one badass motherfucker.

[domogunner]

Lol miles is so open . RIP great man

[jazzonthetube]

This is amazing. Miss you Miles!

[heru1966]

Miles talks it exactly how he plays it. I love these interviews.

[AVW555]

Thank you for posting this!!!!

[vVaMooSe]

Wrist watch gleamin at :53. Coolest man to have ever lived.

[johnnyjolijt]

NAdoubleCP? ; )

[calangodoido]

Miles...as usual, far ahead of the game! Untouchable, the greatest that has ever done it!

[marcligon1]

this is easily the best interview of miles i've seen so far... excellent

[LickCents]

Who's this eccentric black man?!

I've never heard a black man say he like the likes of Ravel and Stockhausen!

His voice is a sexy frog.

I once knew a black man in my housing project who looked just like this guy! I was one of the few whites in the buildin'. Miss St. James Town, T-Dot. Now I live in London, Ontario!

anyway. I wanna know more 'bout this old man!

[17700511]

Your time will be well spent by knowing this man. He's a kind of guy who would be respected by the likes of Ravel and Stockhausen also.

[JuzzChiln]

Awesome!!!

[EverythingPiano]

[ghostjazz]
