Jeff Tweedy, On the Set

[dannyfingersmusic]

He has the same personality as Fred Armisen!! They'd be best friends that or turn to eachother and say quit talking to me this is my schtick

[ellieoc13]

Interviewer shut up.

Your not Jeff Tweedy

[mpwiest70]

This Interviewer is very selff indulgent.

[stratguy1688]

He's very modest and totally cool. A super talented fellow!

[ZenBarracuda]

Jeff is one hell of a lyricist. A true musical genius.

[ghettoindie]

"i'm not a camping kind of guy." - haha

[pokabeb]

Pretty akward to see this.

[chadbragg]

first guideline to follow as an interviewer - come to terms with the fact that nobody wants to hear about your experiences. Especially when you cut off the interviewee in the process. Spin? - more like half ass turn.

[Spizike237]

Super. Awesome. Wow. Sweet. Yeah. Tits, Jeff. Thanks, buddy.

[niallvan]

Let him talk. Let him talk.Let him talk.Let him talk.Let him talk.Let him talk.

[deathkampdrone]

tweedy's standing there probably with a burning migraine, being asked stupid questions by some jerk who doesn't know who he's dealing with, and yet he's so polite. proves that his pure class doesn't only run in his music.

[rosswirt]

@deathkampdrone

perfect assessment

[jarrettd1231]

WHAT THE FUCK seriously kid your talking to jeff tweedy not some up and coming musician this dude was writing amazing music before you were born probably.... your a tool

[jumpkenny]

Tweedy's response to Beck playing Sea Change was pure OWNAGE!

[BotswanaBabyBullet]

Dear guy with the camera: That's Jeff Tweedy. He's your savior; not your friend.

[moonmonsoon]

yeah this guy is a douuuuuche

[jovenmedia]

Jeff Tweedy is like, "dude whatever, hurry up and get out of my face."

[lifternate]

Note to interviewer: No one (Jeff included) cares about shows you have seen or whether or not you had an RV at Bonnaroo - please leave your personal stories out of the interview next time, hack.

[apacolipps]

Most journalists I hear today are unbelievably talentless hacks who want to be superstars themselves. I just wanna hear Jeff talk; shut the fuck up, you fawning groupie.

[tesserzz]

super cool dude.

sexy!

[TheSpacetimer]

When you interview someone aren't they meant to do most of the talking?

[NorthWriter]

I don't know...I think their best album is A Ghost Is Born, and that doesn't have Jay OR Nels on it.

[Mentalmouse1]

Nels is the more impressive guitar player but he can't replace what Jay did for Wilco.

[TheDensley7]

As great as Nels is, don't you think Bennet had alot more of an influence on the arrangements, production etc. ?

[busstopratbag]

@ryantp not better. i say different. and its just whose style you like better. i prefer Nels' most of the time.

[wwih]

awkwarddddd

[biggerbigd]

If this interview didn't make him start drinking again, he's doing well!

[bgmiller5]

Who taught this guy how to interview? My cock? STFU you idiot faggot! No one likes you!

[220Media]

@bgmiller5 I don't think he's homosexual, but he may lack some testosterone

[trevsterino]

Jeff is a psycho?

Jay was pretty crazy too you know.

I'm kind of glad he left wilco.

he put out some great solo records

[dougmoore65]

Hey Blackeyedgourd have you listened to Ghost is Born? Anyone who thinks Jay was the key thing that made earlier wilco great is ridiculous. All you have to do is look at post Jay bennett wilco. Different? yes. Worse without him? hell no.

[TheDensley7]

After Bennet left, they started from scratch. They were great, now they're merely good. Jay Bennet was 50% the reason why they were great.

[bommerillo]

Hey Blackeyedgourd, hung out with Jeff did you? You're full of shit, get a life.

[blackeyedgourd]

I hung out with Jeff back on the Being There Tour years ago, there was maybe 25 people, but i beleive jeff is psycho, hell Jay Bennet was the key collaberator and band member as well as great contributer. I think Jeff is a leech and wilco will never reach the greatness they had when Bennet was part of the band, Wilco is just moving to the artsy, atmospheric movement wich they are good at, but Jay Bennet is the Brian Jones of the band....

[degree7]

If Jay Bennet was the Brian Jones of the band, then good riddance!

[busstopratbag]

@blackeyedgourd i dunnoooo... they're getting pretty big now.

[TheDensley7]

I couldn't agree more with you. Wilco without Bennet would be like the beatles without Harrison.

[dz2ny]

Wow, Jeff's such a nice guy. It looks like he just feels so bad for this faggot interviewing him that he just lets all the idiocy go and just rolls with it.

[TheBlackWelshman]

i think you find that most artists are uncomfortable in interviews, especially these types "hey! we're catching up with jeff tweedy on the set of!" it's irrelevant to the art, and they usually hesitate to glorify themselves

[vg0528]

interviewer: you... SUCK

[skankinjimbo]

@vg0528 Agreed.

[sggoggans]

shitty interviewer.  Tweedy's the man.

[JohnFitz92]

jeff looks uneasy the whole time... kinda like he has to go to the port-a-potty to the left

[Creekdud]

He works for Spin magazine (STRIKE ONE) and Wilco or whoever they pretend to be now must've been basquing themselves in Phonyness

[mf0rz]

Basking in phoniness??... hmmmm. Wilco may not play your favorite kind of music, but they're one of the most original and genuine bands around.

[pinkpoop24]

who's dick did this kid suck to get this interview. its like he doesnt know who hes talking to. did he really ask him about the "moves" in his photo shoot?

[themindofgod]

Ok.. this may be an obvious observation... but (ahem..) Is Jeff patiently waiting to ... ummm.. like get this Interview guy out of his face so he can like take a crap in the Honey bucket port-a-potty thats obviously 2 feet away? Seriously! What kind of interviewer likes to do ask questions in front of sanitation facilities???

[troach92]

And the Worst Interviewer Award goes to this guy!

The guy gets a great oppurtunity to talk to the one and only Jeff Tweedy and he makes a fool of himself...way to go

[apacolipps]

Seriously. He's touting all these references to all the shows he's been to, when he should be asking the greatest songwriter of our generation things like how or why he's influenced to write his miraculous songs. No disrespect to anyone here but -- as a musician myself -- most music industry people often come off as self-loving morons.

[headsosikk]

i am a douchebag interviewer.hey jeff tweedy let me tell YOU about myself and my feelings.yeah thats what people want to see.

[Zargon314]

He acts like he knows what they should play at a music festival...Jeffs like "you're an asshole"

[BloodZombie79]

My dad looks just like Jeff... LOL

[Peezy7389]

he is so insightful... i can never tell if he has been doing shiit but his opini0ns are moving.

[BloodZombie79]

Nah, he's not. He went to Rehab, and has been clean since. Alot of his songs were inspired by being clean, and his life after Rehab.... I think... LOL

But, he's clean!

[juliekstroup]

what a great interviewer "cool" NOT

[dfrench80]

this reporter is a know it all

[joe44850]

Someone must convince me that Jeff Tweedy is not Jason Bateman's long lost brother

[ScrotiusMAX]

no way

no resemblance

[gamehoarders]

I have thought the exact same thing for years now, but no one agrees with me! My friends give me weird looks when I suggest it.

[rotolo]

at 1:33, " ive seen beck do it" haha, who cares?!!

[rotolo]

dude jeff tweedy is the man, but that interviewer needs to back off 2 steps...

[clean3]

That maybe so, but his eyebrows start to qualify what his eyes had been saying earlier on in this clip.

[HyuniHyuni]

jeff is a really non assuming down to earth guy. his eyes are saying this interviewer is a bit doucey though.

[clean3]

Are you sure? I thought it was his ears.

[HyuniHyuni]

His ears are saying something COMPLETELY different... duh!!1 If you can't see that, you need to work on your empathy. lawl!
