Morrisey - Years of Refusal Interview with Russell Brand

[INNATEHUMAN]

I FOUND A TAPE OF THE SMITHS in the sisters room listened and loved it ever since. i could cry looking at footage of him whilst hearing his tracks (as if he were dead) which is an odd feeling. im so grateful to be alive while he is. i love your work Morrissy. its changed me.

[FucklyDuckly]

Not a huge fan of Morrisey but his voice sooths me.

[smithygal32]

some sound would be good

[MrKarpote]

can't hear fucking nothin'!!!

[robaralis]

@MrKarpote change it to 240p

[INNATEHUMAN]

@MrKarpote what?

[sexckatxx]

why is there no sound?

[treid100182]

Russell is so fucking annoying.

He definitely ripped off Morrissey to begin with ... and he knows it.

[oasis4ever92]

russell looks in love!

[IStehSHIT]

Can't be yoy. THE BURN!

[noodle92993]

I wish Russell Brand was more like this rather than like the idiot he is most of the time. I mean grant it sometimes he's funny...but he can be really annoying too. I like the serious Russell.

[JustinTexan]

Couldn't access audio..? Tried the add from above....

[czgibson]

No sound. Tip at the top doesn't work.

[MrRammsteinJim]

@czgibson Change to 240p

[AliceItoko]

@MrRammsteinJim omg I love you XD

[TheAbyssalPeregrine]

@MrRammsteinJim thank you brother :)

[INNATEHUMAN]

@MrRammsteinJim thank mate iou one

[skatapoopy]

he named his kitty cat after him

[youacccunt]

fuckin cock and ball strangler for uploading this shit ,where is the words :)

[Necrocide187]

Russell Brand is pop superstar's Katy Perry's newlywed husband. Morrissey had written a letter to Russell to not marry Perry.

[sebas77able]

ok who´s Russell Brand?

[philipdarby5]

@sebas77able he's a tv presenter and comedian from england, and a big morrissey fan

[DerrenBrown100]

@sebas77able Get out from under your rock.

[sebas77able]

who the fuck is russell Brand?

[UnyieldingDefiance]

Anyone would refuse an interview with the prick that is Russell Brand.

[NewYorkeProductions]

@UnyieldingDefiance Except for the fact that Morrissey requested that Russell interview him. Just sayin'.

[IBDoyle]

@UnyieldingDefiance

Russell Brand is brilliant; a genius. He and Morrissey are friends.

[copeland45]

No sound.



[sholstein]

That was GREAT!! Of course, I can read lips.

[717mienbao]

Whats with the audio?

[woobia]

He loves animals :')

I love him. 

[TheHelenasan4]

Poor Moz sounds a bit like he has a cold here. :/

Initially I really liked Russell, but since he got together with katy perry my respect for him has been slipping....

[woobia]

@TheHelenasan4 I feel exactly the same way.

[TheHelenasan4]

@woobia I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[ZachClooney]

What happened to the sound?

[ghostscantkill]

I sooooo respect Morrissey, he is great!!

[RenettoRenetto]

Morrissey has never sold out ! A man i look up too ! A real gentleman !

[15Hamster]

God only knows why Morrissey likes this freak...??

brand is a dick

[bchick1987]

Fuck Russell Brand,ugly son of a bitch.twat haha

[lisajean1]

Did anyone else watch this solely for Russell Brand?

[homobarbie]

@lisajean1 i did when i first watched it, now i'm watching it for morrissey

[moriamortem]

British accent is sometimes so hard to follow :(

[duncantoms]

@moriamortem There's no such thing as a British accent - for example check the difference between these two, born less than 200 miles apart

[cribsstewart]

* Morrissey

[Sirgioza]

love it morriseey

[SuperSamcraig]

presumably very easy to only do occasional interviews when the only ones you do are with pandering fans of yours, be nice to see an interview where someone actually discusses his views with him rather than just accept them unquestionably.

[OrangeFuzz123]

Morrissey used to be alright, but that voice is getting so wearing now, so too all that crap about the poor little animals, so too the trumped up indie guitar rock, so too the builders physique, so too the self regard, so too the misguided belief that his music these days is still a validation for him appearing pompous and full of himself, silly, silly man, How I wish he meant something still other than the odd half funny quip.

[angrymooninite]

Thanks so much for the sneaky sound tip!

[Swameh]

wierd audio rules. :')

[bdmoore12]

@lewys93 .that works how the hell did you know that?

[lewys93]

@bdmoore12 It's how you used to get high-quality video before they put the menu in the bottom right corner. That and being a bit of a nerd when it comes to things like that.

[REALITY2point0]

@lewys93 thanks u da man :-)

[Profy00]

@lewys93 you're a genious

[softlyserenademe]

@lewys93 omg how did you do that?

[Cablemanguy]

@lewys93 dun work?

[lewys93]

@Cablemanguy It seems to have stopped working for some reason

[navcrowds]

@lewys93

That does not work

[House38500]

@lewys93 Bollocks dude, it doesn't works.

[digmelovebug]

@lewys93 thats complete bullshit it doesnt work.

[CarolinaContreras90]

There is no audio!

[JDurden33]

i'm intuitive but not so much so that i can TELEPATHICLY TRANSLATE SILENT LIP-SYNC. audio goes well with visuals dooooosh.

[GuillemotMoz]

where's the audio??? :(

[stephjuhler999]

I don't hear anything! It's mute! And it's not got anything to do with my computer either as I double checked volume, loudspeakers etc.

[julian73de]

@stephjuhler999 same here

[vintagezigg]

Two extremely talented and interesting gentlemen .

[ScarTissue25]

The backround music is entirely too high.

[07mojopin]

oh god, i feel bad for saying this because he'd hate to be 'cute', but 2.16 is so cute!!

[adamf2326]

HATE Morrisey LOVE Russell

[catbsometimes1]

@adamf2326 how on earth could you hate Morrisey? You need to go reevaluate your life.

[adamf2326]

@catbsometimes1 Your blinded friend. Listening to Morrisey has infected you with lies, his music has taken over you rational thoughts, you need to seek help. I suggest burning all this, 'dull', 'depressing', 'painful' albums and rince yourself with something pure like a Russell Brand Stand up DVD... or listen to some Paul McCartney.

[misfitsg17]

@19189073 maybe they're both different times

[misfitsg17]

whats the name of that song in the beginning?

[DenzilVoorhees]

@misfitsg17 I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris

[badseed59]

This is a man who used to wear a hearing aid and didn't require one, so go figure, eh?

[TheGentl3man]

Russell is a huge fan

[Rimaamane]

Russell brand is a great interviewer,definatly.

[DrTommyGouranga]

russ never kept low key in private affiars after this and see how he looks so frustrated now when hes interviewd, listen to morrisey and keep it low key, good advice from mozz, Gouranga!

[hmmyer]

"somebody has to be me" ha ha love him with all my heart

[robertlaberge]

Anybody knows whose nice home is this?

[SagasRightPeg]

Don't slate this for me but I have always hated Russel Brand. Until now. This is the only Mozz interview i've seen where the interviewer has shown Mozza some respect. I enjoyed it very muchley :)

[poshknacker]

I love this because the genuine affection from both camps is palpable.

[katskantdanse]

while watching/listening to the part of this talking about vegetarianism, there was a mary brown's chicken sandwich ad to the right of the video... aaaaaaaaahaha

[piguitit0]

i can't understand a shit with those accents

[ed1ss]

Russell Brand is awsome, So is Morrisey.

Breazeale666 is obviously a fucking remedial.

[JeTbLaCkLoVe]

Hahha "I became to big to stand on the table", I love this man.

[timewillprove]

His sense of humour is brilliant! Northern humour!

[zehrinteressant]

Pffft! Have you ever been up north!?

[timewillprove]

Yes i used to live there for about 30 years, born and bred!!!! What's that you're getting at?

[zehrinteressant]

most of the shared humour I experience around here is much less, let's say.. sophisticated, than morriesseys. maybe it's just the people I come into contact with.

[breazeale666]

Okay that Russell dude is incredibly annoying

[dancingflame24]

@breazeale666 You mean Russell brand? Shut up, he's amazing.

[chrissayeth]

He is a big fan of Morrissey and he is doing a great job at interviewing him. In fact he has very much so toned down how he usually composes himself to interview one of his music idols so shut up, I'd like to see you conduct an interview better. Oh and his name is Russell Brand, how you dont know of him I am amazed.

[breazeale666]

Yah... I know who he is. I just think his voice is annoying...

[Paneeks1960]

No matter how much I try to dismiss Morrissey as someone of my past and no matter how I try to label him as someone I used to be into, he keeps creeping up on me like the plague. There is no one in music who has ever {or will ever} make such an honest statement in his writing. The only person that I can compare Morrissey to in a non-musical terms is Howard Stern. My two heroes who are the only two heroes in this awful celebrity age who tell the truth. All honesty, no bullshit.

Paneeks/Boston

[The13thD1sciple]

The interviews/chats when its Russell challenging him are by far the most insightful to how Morrissey is rather than the "dull" "bored" stereotype which seems to of got more common amongst some of the more ignorant people not listening to him.

Was ace when Russell said "must be awful for you" getting him back when Morrissey had him - right pals they are lol

[alybabba1]

i love how strange russell looks hes amazing.. and morrissey... what can i say hes a legend!

[LewisKiernan]

I love how Morrissey wears two watches.

[DocWhat10]

Shit, when you see Russ up against Moz it's pretty clear class from crap...Russ is a male mole compared to Mozza

[assgrabberb]

I'm a human and I'm not evil.

So now what??

[achurch22]

for someone so articulate and lyrical he doesnt hold a conversation terribly well, not dissimilar to alot of rappers in that sense. he comes alive on the track

[jun7per]

totally connect with his love for animals. Humans are evil.

[ThePhilosorpheus]

this is a degeneration

[chapacue1]

He is wearing two watches because that´s in julian Plenti too, and Sub comandante Marcos too have two different times

[acquariva]

guapisimo morrissey

[kingshahine]

i recommend that people watch the full interview

russell has moz cracking up

[TheLeisurePirate]

Is this not the full interview? I can't seem to find a longer version...

[themasterplan23]

no, type in part 1 morrissey or and russell

[TheLeisurePirate]

Thanks I already found it. Funny stuff.

[anchorlove06]

kind of hard to hear what is being said, but, I could SEE their genuine interaction, so that was quite nice. Mozzer is so far removed from his younger days.. He seems much more chill, more in-touch with himself. Good on him.

[tinyrebellion]

these two are so cute together, like father and adoring son....

[workitoutpeople]

Can't be bothered checking to see if anyone else has asked this but what's with Moz wearing two watches?...

[JadeBadClips]

probably just so he never takes the wrong arm when he wants to know what time it is ;)

[jpjames1]

When he was young he seemed gay now he is pretty macho

[joanrebelka]

@jpjames1

Hmm..... Interesting words. Maybe it's right. U right.

[SclafaniBagni]

@jpjames1 i think that's because he really did mature and become self-confident after all, despite what he thought about himself during his hay day

[manthapantha3]

@jpjames1 here we go again.. there is not one video of him without someone mentioning his sexual orientation!

[timewillprove]

How sexy can one person be? Morrissey has bucket loads of sexiness. Mmmm his lips are beautiful.

[tim0mansell]

ummm... what?

[Rafa88offspring]

too much sexiness for one video <3

[Monterey2am]

Morrissey makes a very good point about animal cruelty. He is bang on - a passionate, deeply principled individual.

[DancesWithMrsWoolf]

I love the way he's clear-minded (meaning Morrissey). Russell Brand is also quite a good interviewer, sincerely curious and straight to the point.

[iCipher]

nice upload, pop-up extremely annoying though, bad position.

[babejunky]

You can turn this off by clicking the [annotations off] option.

[thelisamac]

Looking good Moz.

[glanzbo]

Russell Brand named his cat after him.

[EatMeBeatMeGirl]

Jealous moron.

[31wozza]

LONG LIVE MOZZ WE LOVE UR

[MrOscarWild]

Why did you send me a message to say that, achurch22? Well if you believe that, you are a fool.

[lttrstls]

to johnnyq1992, who cares if he is or not, what disrepcefull question to anyone

[Hemizzle]

yep thats been filmed in Rustys American house :)x

[Eeohippus]

Yes, it is.

[murray84]

this was filmed in a mansion in switzerland that morrisey rents with his boyfriend sol campbell. it was not filmed in hollywood you ignorant cunt,

[Eeohippus]

Murray 84, you are so wrong. Watch any of the videos on this website where Russell films from his Hollywood Hills house. You'll see the bookcase, piano, french doors, and lamps over the dining table.

Knowing you've been the ignorant cunt when you see how wrong you are will be enough satisfaction for me, no need to apologize.

[Eeohippus]

I love the way Morrissey calls being young "Early." So cute.

[johnnyq1992]

so moz is gay then?

i never knew the actual answer

[swiv2d]

wow someone that morrissey actually likes i guess russell brings that out in people

[David8693]

I'd imagine that someone with such a high degree of individuality as Russell Brand would be highly respected by Morrissey.

[bitchenhitchen]

good interview! one i think mozzer actually enjoyed

[Eeohippus]

This interview takes place in the house that Russell rents in the Hollywood Hills. Moz' house (used to be his house) was just down the road, you could see the roof and driveway from the patio at Russell's house. Pretty cool looking in there at night, innit?

[Karkar82]

They are friends, so I would imagine that Russel know a thing or two about what Morrissey is like...

[Starkicker111]

You don't even know either of them so how the fuck would you know?

[AllahAndJesusAreBent]

I have never met you, but I know you are a twat.

[Starkicker111]

Great come back. I admire you. The same way your mum admires me when I'm ball deep in her arse!

[AllahAndJesusAreBent]

If I wanted my cumback, I would of wiped it off your mums face.

[Starkicker111]

I'm bewitched by your wit and delivery. Save your breath for cooling your porridge wee man.

[AllahAndJesusAreBent]

If you were any more stupid, yoy would have to be watered twice a week.

[Starkicker111]

Rather that than be you, you're so ugly your face can stop time!

[BillKendall6]

I don't understand a word of what Jim Morrison said.

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

well, that's cause you're an idiot

[thirstymuse1]

Anyone who doubts post-Smiths Moz only has to listen to Vauxhall and I, a truly great album.

[michmudflap]

i much preferred morrisseys music when he was in the smiths, johnny marrs talent made that all the more special, his interviews were more entertaining i find in his younger years also

[HighburyGhost]

Russell Brand's a huge Moz fan isn't he?

[matadorelov]

Morrissey's latest album (Years Of Refusal) is a good delivery - sure. It has a "Your Arsenal" feeling to it; definitely although many of the tracks sound pretty much the same throughout the album, I personally prefer : "Black Cloud", All You Need Is Me; When Last I spoke To Carol; That's How People Grow Up; I'm Ok by My Self, and some other track around that same line...

[Radz117]

Who's home is this?

[Lytton333]

The tufted -Wilton and the vacuum..

[MozzerRocks]

Two of the worlds greatest talents together. Morrissey is a living God of course but by now Brand at least counts as a lesser deity...

[Hannerrrrr]

agrreed!

[Supaduck0]

haha, this is the only time ive ever seen russell wanting the attention to be on the other person instead of himself

[41htdex]

I noticed how pleasing it was to see someone who was thourughly interested in what someone else had to say.

[thomaswakley1823]

I agree - people always bang on about how taciturn and awkward he is but if interviewers just talk to him in an interested an engaged way, rather than expecting chit-chat, as on the One Show, then he comes across as the down-to-earth and intelligent man he is.

[Fonzi79]

I've seen Russell's place several times with him in it on youtube. Does he play the piano?

[cndn85MB]

No...he definitely doesn't.

[carek1230]

He has a piano in his place but the video shows his matr Gareth playing

[carek1230]

Wasn't this interview supposed to be packaged as part of Morrissey's cd? It was filmed at Russell's place in LA.
