Mike Oldfield Interview

[sezums]

Ok I'm back again to comment ....I have watched this video at least 10 times I could watch him play his guitar every minute of the day. Incredible. I hope he does an all 'acoustic just him and his guitar' album some day..

[sezums]

Forgot to add, he's incredibly entertaining when he plays. Thank you for uploading this video x

I LOVE this man- his persona, the way he looks especially 1992 era, love tubular bells II shaped my entire life. I live each day he inspires me .

que grande eres, mike.

[mazmaz1981]

is it one of his songs 1:11-1:22 ??

[Blackbooks78]

@mazmaz1981 No the tune is called 'Angie' and was written by Davey Graham :)

[mazmaz1981]

@Blackbooks78 Thanks a lot mate, I didn't know Davey Graham. check also this nice cover:

Bert Jansch - Angie. I just found it :)

[Avalon888]

2:18 to 2:42. Blimey.

Mike REALLY got into his music. His ability to make instruments, literally, sing is amazing. He takes each instrument, and takes it from extreme to extreme. Lows, highs, in betweens. Just like human moods, there are highs and lows. Mike is a wonderful musician. Move over Mozart and Bach, there's another composer/musician to join the ranks of the greatest music ever!

more funky ;D

[Jajco12345]

Ta akustyczna wersja "drugich dzwonów" w wykonaniu Mistrza jest fantastyczna.

[awn5000]

ech, skąd by tu wziąć chwyty i bicie na to ;)

[lukaszswietek]

Na początku jest Amol i później przecgodzi w Gdur i z powrotem Amol. :)

[mrbeanbob]

Just the way he puts no effort into playing his guitar like its nautral to him is amazing :D

[pjotr669]

Wow! He must be a so called "musical genius"!

[snoke29]

The last album is Music Of The Sphere.

[walterskew]

cant find the "new one" on itunes - what is its title and where can i get?

[Asgairsson]

The new one is Tubular Bells II from 1993, from that time seems to be this interview, too, and it was released on CD (yellow bell on blue ground)

[hosscollar]

Yep, its the version he did in 1993. He was living in LA at that time. Right after that was the only time he has ever done a live concert in the US.

[hosscollar]

Its one thing to take someone else's music and put your own twist on it. Its even cooler to reinvent your own music and make just as good as the first time around! Fantastic!

[fatpizzaman]

I agree. Sparks did a similar thing in 1998 with their album "Plagiarism" where they did new versions of their previous hits, and it was issued on Virgin Records!

[mikestat2007]

que crack!!

[BernerStudios]

Bloody Hell! Ultimate guitar genius! Listen to where he plays Tubular Bells 2 at 2:20, I prefer it to the original.
