  • I think he was asking Roky whats his favorite song he wrote! Anyway me and Roky have the same taste. Jackson Brown good musician for one hit wonder! Roky is better he doesn't care about fame!

  • What's the big deal , the man likes it cause he likes it. And Roky always will be Thee Man . Make no mistake . As the parade of jerkoff bloggers & interviewers come and go.

  • Roky is a prophet.

  • you can tell when roky simply says he just likes the song and he also says it with a kinda attitude like " yeah, i just like it now get the fuck outta my face "

  • That interviewer's a douchebag.

  • love roky, but what fuckin song did this guy write?

  • Ah whatever. The more people treat Roky like a normal guy the better. I met him in L.A. hosting the Creature with the Atom Brain flick and he was a bit off for sure, but not "fragile".

  • I JUST LIKE IT

  • hey don't mess with roky!

  • hey don't mess with roky!

    

  • i dont get this,. whats going on here. is he messing or does he even no who roky is.

    can anybody explain.

  • i wish i was roky's bodyguard right at the moment this occurred, this obnoxious little asshole fucking with my man would wake up in the hospital with a camera down his throat. leave the guy alone you stupid jerk.

  • camera guy is acting like such a dickhead, show some respect!

  • he's so sweet!

  • don't fuck with Roky ...

  • Roky has more talent in one hair follicle than most musicians have in their whole body.

    Who cares if the guy doesn't remember who wrote the song. How many times has that happened to you ? He is a living example of how one can overcome the toughest challenges in life.

  • Jackson Browne?

  • @djouix27 hahaha yupp!

  • friendly ass dude.

  • that song rules..would have never expected this answer. its even cooler he doesn't know who sings it,

  • @patrickj25 Yeah, it was a perfect answer to a stupid question. Sometimes I get the feeling that Roky knew a lot more than he let us know. And he was just messin' with the ahole who asked the question. Carry on Roky! And Somebody's Baby was a great pop song. Jackson Brown fans don't hate on me calling it pop.

  • I love that song

  • thats gotta be priestess in the backround

  • @AtomicSpaceRitual777

    that's such a great comment. something inside me loves it deeply. thinking about it now and then. thank you mister.

  • @hiikua, anonymous net napoleon, you got me! ::feels defeated::

    I will lose much sleep tonight! And you will be knitting and proudly grinning!

    What I'm saying is that your projected inadequacy will never make a mark. Understand now? Now time for your Mensa meeting... off you go!

  • hey rokyfan 1981........cheap shots mever make a mark????? It certainly did, it got you to write your blah, blah!!!! Priceless!!!

  • @hikua/hikua25/blahblah, it sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder. Not exactly high tier material... you're the type who gets pleasure from namecalling, paradoxically over and over again. Impressive. Do you pat yourself on your back before you go to sleep?

    When it comes down to it, who the hell are YOU? Another faceless, frustrated person. Cheap shots never make a mark. Anyway, I'd rather be retarded than angry and worthless.

  • The person who posted here all angry at Roky (for not knowing Jackson Browne is the one who sings one of his favorite songs) has a problem - they're an idiot. Roky loves the song, so Mr. Browne would be touched that an amazing artist like Roky likes his song! Roky is the man - we're blessed to have him around.

  • Yeah, I would. It is hassling a man with well documented pyschiatric issues and portarying him as a fool. he is one of the most underrated songwriters of the 20th century. To be a good interviewer you need to understand your 'subject'. This person attacks Roky with gusto; preying on his nerves and paranoia - not only typical syptoms of people who 'think differently ' (otherwise known as mental illness). The vast majority of performers don't want a camera shoved down their throat before gig.

  • rocky is too high here

  • @rafatma123 what the? Sorry but get with the program. You have someone who is a classified creative genius with known so-called psychiatrict issues being hounded by a bullying fool with a stoopid question right before a gig. Leave the beautiful man alone. If he's high - who cares? Good luck to him. Personally I owe him alot for his music.

  • @hiikua Jackson Browne, a genius? Compared to Roky? Hmmm, I like Jackson okay but I tell you what: Jackson is by far the better wife beater! Oh, and btw, you're the retard, asshole.

  • @hiikua Jackson Browne is hardly that. He is not an innovator. Motivated, sure. When he was a teenager, he hitchhiked to Greenwich Village to ask Lou Reed to be his guitar mentor.

  • Isn't he charming?

  • <3 i love that response!  i love you roky, and that fool should get outta his face asking him silly questions!

  • I would say that's a stupid question. but since his answer was something I never would have imagined ( "Got to be Somebodys Baby" by Jackson Browne) I'm kinda glad the guy asked it.

  • God Bless Roky Erickson

  • Let the idiot walk. Let the idiot talk... But NOT to Mr. Rocky!!!

  • You don't tug on superman's cape...

  • this dude obviously doesnt know who hes dealing with. Hes treating Roky like a kindergartner man

  • @meatwad61

    I know.

    To hell w/ that!

  • Think he means "Somebodys baby" by Jackson Browne (great tune)

  • Does this smarmy douchebag conducting the interview have any idea of who Roky Erickson is?

  • It would be hard to guess from this video that he was the lead singer for possibly the greatest rock group of all time. He seems really cool, would like to see more of the interview or other interviews. Need to watch these other videos on here, and get his albums and stuff.

  • I'm a punk rock guy, but I have really started to like Roky and his music. Amazing.

  • "I just like it." Roky is awesome! :)

    Don't think the guy behind the camera knew who he was talking to though...

  • He is a great man who changed the world of music for the better

  • Get the f*** away from Roky

  • Dude this guy can plays some badass guitar,I have never heard riffs like this one.

  • That is super cool! Isnt there an ice cream flavor named after him?

  • Amy's Icecream has the flavor named after him.

  • Funny interveiwer

  • you are in "the retard state of mind", but you don't realize. attention!

  • He's so awesome.

  • roky we love you man!

  • i love roky, and this stupid video should be removed, what a god damn question, favourite song, and who the fuck likes a camera stuck right up his nose?

  • ..he's so f*cking real he doesnt mind pointing out that his favorite song is " got to be somebodys baby" knowing full well that while he does something different thats just him doing what he does, not what he likes to listen to .. thats kind of rad..

  • he's not retarded, he's high as hell. and schizophrenic.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, and your questions were retarded.

    you're bound to get half-assed answers to moronic questions.

    buddy-boy.

  • I didn't understand what his favourite song is haha.. 'Got to be somebody's baby'?

  • i hope your not making fun of Roky Erickson

  • Wow he's doin alot better. Havent seen youre gonna miss me, but i've heard he was really out of it from the electroshock.

  • He's absolutely awesome! (Yet I tend to think if someone claims to have taken LSD 300 times then they probably lost count by then... I mean... I love butterscotch pudding... and I lost track of how many times I had butterscotch pudding a long time ago...anyway...am I right?) -Long Live Roky Erikson! Heck ya!

  • damn it!! sorry, just hit the thumbs down by mistake!

    What you said!!

  • That whole radio interview where he basically takes over the whole show is great. He also says the Sex Pistols remind him of Fiorello LaGuardia and keeps talking about "Donovan's Brain".

  • nice... you can hear priestess playing in the background... another one of my favorite bands... going to see them in about a month's time.

  • i love his crazy eyes!there are too many colours in them!

  • hilarious.

  • Hey now, I just love seeing Roky! More people should put conversations with him on youtube. But next one has got to have some better questions... I don't think the camera guy even knew who he was...

  • Get that damn camera out of Roky's face

  • Great response to a stupid question. May as well have been 'whats your favorite colour?'

  • I believe he's refering to Jackson Browne's song "She's Got to be Somebody's Baby" only released on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack. It's a great song and Roky has great taste.

  • Also, if it wasn't for this dumb interviewer we would not see the natural beautiful responses from ROKY! Does anyone know of anymore clips like this one please?

  • On the Turbonegro album 'Hot cars and spent contraceptives', there is a short audio clip of an interview with Roky, in which he is asked what he thinks of the Sex Pistols. He says he really likes 'em. And when the interviewer asks which song is his favourite, he pauses and thinks, then replies, "Aah, hot cars, i really like hot cars". Lol, classic.

  • "i think the sex pistols are pretty groovy..."

    "what's your favorite sex pistols song?"

    "huh"

    "what's your favorite sex pistols song"

    "...the first sex pistols song i've ever heard, i guess, hot cars...hot cars"

  • Comment removed

  • hes so nice 2 interviewer though. Professional...

    whats a troll - ?

  • yeah right, uh-huh, I just like it!!

  • Have to agree that the interviewer is dumb beyond belief and should put away his mic and retire from this game NOW! Really poor! On the other hand, welcome back Roger Kynard Erickson!!! All we need now is for Tommy to come out of retirement and show the World the way. God bless the Good Ship Roky!!!! And Viva Tommy and Clementine too!!!!!!

  • Too much acid for you losgrindos!!!!

  • Not enough acid for you Hiikua25!!!!!

  • wow hes beautiful.

  • yeah, especially with that hair and dried saliva on his lips!

  • Roky 4 God. I just found out he is coming to my county in the summer to play Green Man Festival Wales, uk.

    we are not worthy!

    get over here ROKY!!

  • trolllllll

  • You bloody Sucker!! Ever listen to Rokys Music?

    This guy is god, asshole

  • Hey if Roky his self or anyone that knows Roky should happen to read this, I'd like for him to check out a YouTube video of a guy that he should remember. As I understand he is a lost friend of yours Roky. Check it out if you want to get in contact with him I can now help with that, Message me on here (YouTube) about him. Click my user name to understand what I'm talking about.

  • I imagine Roky is referring to the Jackson Browne song or am I way off?

  • its like day and night after his brother took cared of him. hes far more responsive, being able to think and focus on other things than being in prison in his mind. i hope it just gets better for him more n more.

  • Right on. I just discovered his music this month. I have been a huge Brian Wilson fan and it is great to see some success stories from these guys who gave us so much great music back in the day.

  • Good to see Roky functioning properly again, his brother should be commended in the way he has helped Roky.

  • Fuck you.

  • That is so cool that Priestess is playing live in the background

  • I have to say--seeing Roky so calm and happy. It makes me want to hug him. He is a legend to me and my friends. That's all I care about. Seeing him healthy and playing music gives me hope for life and recovery for us all. Go man! He lived through hell, and now he's alive and here to give more of his talent to us.

  • roky is awesome, dont agree with sneaking up on him with a camera and asking dumb questions though. he is a fucking legend leave the dude alone.

  • you obviously know nothing about music you moron

  • you just made a total ass of yourself. like robaralls said you know very little about music..Roky is a legend..Arthur Lee is a legend..Syd Barrett is a legend and many others that you should know if you knew anything about music.

  • Roky Kicks ass!

  • I agree that more people should in fact be aware of who Roky Erickson is. However, the truth of the matter here is that the guy is just simply not that well known to very many people out there outside of music historians, 60's garage rock/psychedelia die-hards, and or aficionados of left-of-center outsider musicians. Again, I say sorry but that is kind of the truth here. So in a way I can kind of see how this obviously young interviewer might not know who the hell Roky Erickson really is!

  • Wow ..... from 20 seconds you can see what a humble gentle soul this man is. Can't say that about most. Viva la Roky!!

  • "WHY?" what kind of fuckin question is that? "I just like it!" fuckin right.

  • no, it's actually acid

  • there's something about this interviewer that makes me want to scrape his worthless face across an abandoned parking lot's asphalt. We love Roky here in Austin. I agree with a previous poster...this guy's only calling is being a pompus jackass who deserves to be punched in his smart mouth.

  • agreed.

  • i think you need to go back to the nut farm, so someone can kick you in the nuts.

  • Did the guy asking question even know who Roky is? Sorry, but reporting might not be your calling.

  • the guy filming is a loser...You can tell he has no respect for a man that has more natural swagger than he could ever hope to have in his lifetime..

  • "Whodinihimself": calling the interviewer here a loser is really a bit harsh don't you think? I really feel that the guy meant no harm or disrespect to Roky, he was just simply unaware of who he was talking to and probably assumed that it was just another random dude on the street which because of the Roky's relative obscurity is kinda understandable.

  • Roky is a sweetheart of a man and held in high regard here in Austin

  • "I just like it"

    No better reason than that :)

  • Woot!

  • Hey Roky!

    Till "Moses" I said: "Hello" !

  • priestess

  • Prietess in the background!

  • bless you roky!

    humilty is genius!

    Roky is an avatar!

  • This cameraman is a jerk.

  • I haven't thought of that song in years but I just realized it's one of my favorites too. Thanks Roky!

  • "I just like it" haha Roky is cool!

  • Roky don't give a shit. A true legend.

  • I like his reason for liking it. Very sincere. It reminds me of somebody asking Brian Wilson what his favorite Rolling Stone song was, and he said something like "My Connection" which is a really obscure Rolling Stone's song, but makes sense too.

  • This is a cool cat

  • Jackson Browne wrote and sang it. Wow, I really love that song too but I think that Roky is the first person I've heard who said they really like it as much as I do!

  • jackson browne maybe?

  • Roky is the shit
