Interesante entrevista de1992 con Peter Hammill, vocalista de Van der Graaf Generator, que muestra a una buena y honesta persona con la que se puede estar de acuerdo en muchos temas.

and can someone say me the names he give and is given he mentioned in identity part

[mauricemorning]

@MeurglysIV

He mentioned "Nadir" a name he gave himself, i.e."Nadir's Big Chance" and "K' a nickname someone gave him, i.e. "Enter K", I like your other comment below. Good question. I think he is accustomed to living with doubt. He writes about emotion but never seems to lose his head.

@mauricemorning

many thanks,i can't catch all words when listening english :(

[MeurglysIV]

One thing i want to ask him is,how he survived after all these songs?I mean i know he is making all his music with too much emotion and feeling.He lives every line of his song's i think.But when i listen to Over album for exemple i get realy depressed.If you think he lived that things not just listened,it's realy hard to embrace to life again.Don't you think like that?

-Sorry for my English,i just wanted to say-

[mauricemorning]

serves him right for being so fucking weird. I know whereof I speak as a former huge fan of his. he became irrelevant to me over twenty-years ago. I have never heard him speak and must say it is a very pleasant surprise to see him so affable and forthright. I never knew he was so charming. You can see his determination to communicate coming through his mild insecurity and timidity. I have gained enormous admiration and respect for him through this video. thanks for the upload

Intresting i always tought he was an atheist... becuas alot of his lyrics seem very antireligius.

[tiadoran]

I always got the opposite impression. His lyrics often sound critical of evil acts and his singing style makes it sound as though he's preaching or even performing an exorcism. I've wondered whether it was the religious passion of his work that people had kneejerk reactions to.

[ISamuelII]

@tiadoran It could have been as simple as some people reading the one word "godbluff" that put them off. People are strange in that regard.

I see VDGG as my private band nobody else around here ever heard of, except for those psych heads that turned me onto them.

[TheDensley7]

I think it's a shame that he isn't as big as peter gabriel and david bowie. It serves him right for being so great.

[penguindf12]

He's a good guy, at heart. Or at least one whom I agree with.

In this form, at least.
