[DavePlaysTrombone]

Coke's a bitch, ain't it?

Pete Farndon,man,what a cool and tasteful bass player in a fantastic band.He was great in the Bushwackers too.He inspired me to pick up a bass.Wish there was more footage of him chatting out there.

@mindcontrolhands Because people are fucking stupid and just get off on ridiculing those who made something of themselves... plus, Donnie doesn't look very cool and he's short. If Donnie asked less than intelligent questions and looked like Pete Farndon than everybody would be thinking he's cool...

[Dyanderringer]

Who's the idiot that cut the interview

short? What a shame. What a tease!

I don't think "leave them wanting more,"

applys to this interview. Duh!

[DogbiteOW]

Wow. Jimmy died within 6 months of this interview.

[BlackLabelSociety360]

My dad was mates with Jimmy Scott in their high school years in Hereford. Before I knew who the Pretenders were I always remember my dad telling me of his mate from school who was awesome on the Guitar and went on to be in a band. I was at Jimmy's grave the beginning of the year as his grave is near my great grandads in Lyde Church Herefordshire. My small claim to fame even tho its my old mans....:)

[weaselsuit]

During Pete's "Kamikaze" period (tour for the second record), you can clearly see that he's got several wrist bands, especially at the inner crook of his elbow of hs left arm. His attempts to cover his heroin tracks were SO obvious...

[GWBsux]

This Pretenders' line up is one of the greatest bands, ever!!!

[mopardan100]

@GWBsux without question!

[wrh61]

2 of those guys would be dead soon from drug overdose..

[fartface801]

Chrissie hynde looks alot like nena kerner who had a mega hit with 99 luftballons

[28jul1821]

hottest woman ever

[AdnilTG]

where is the rest of this interview??? I would LOVE to see it!

[welovedonnie]

@AdnilTG me too, but i do not know

[bushkilledtowers]

wow, you can see Chrissie was a little pissed off with Pete's areoplane comment. and you can see Pete's messed up, big time. but one reason there are't a lot of interviews , footage, the other band members asked each other , what's the point of being here, they only speak to Chrissie..............but that is what a front memeber is

[chingunc]

@bushkilledtowers that's Jimmy with that airplane joke. You can see another interview with Pete and Martin at pretenders org uk

[bolt767]

peter farndon is one of my favorite bassists. but he really looked like a mess here, lol. rip

[nevrowe]

what a wonderful piece of film, in a way very sad, such a loss with pete and jimmy, i have loved and followed the pretenders music all my life, dam drugs.

[welovedonnie]

@nevrowe i sincerely wish we had more footage but this seems to just cut too short.

[onlytakinalook]

By the way will you be posting the rest of it sometime?

[vitorro1970]

Que ojos mas autenticos.

[Flipper79able]

I have always thought Chrissie was very beautiful.

[onlytakinalook]

This is very rare indeed - well done for posting it.

[earlymtv]
