  • Please change the thumbnail image for this lol, Richard looks really creepy

  • I would have been too starstruck

  • This is fuckin miracle, I cant believe! WOW! :D You were fuckin close...

  • @AlbertX78 I never expected to meet him and was surprised when I did. Got to see him do his set then shake his hand backstage, told him I had lots of respect for what he does, then got his signature. Best day ever, will never forget it.

  • he seems pretty down to earth

  • he is GOD

  • Gay and annoying American twats.

  • Why aren't they kneeling!!!!!??????

  • which one of you rubbed him off ?

  • The curse of doing anything that everyone gets on top of is trying to explain it later. If you go on about how great you are, you sound like an arse. If you're stoic, you seem like a snob. If you don't talk to people, first your a jerk, then you're mysterious. It's a lot of work to be a hero you're not. What do you do for a living? Imagine everyone wants to talk to you about it right after you've been at it for days? Everyone knows you, you know no one.

  • he's cool

  • That's my CD in Richard's hand @ 0:05

    Like this if you've visited my website: musicbychris com

  • i think i would shit myself if he were to talk to me.... guh guh guh...

  • WE'RE NOT WORTHY, WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!

  • afx makes his music with livecut and sonnox compressor!

  • am I the only person that thinks he looks better with short hair lmao

  • @mcgstudmuffin i agree

  • Seems like a nice guy.

  • The fucking Don of electronic music.

  • @ neotriax: RDJ seemed like quite a tall guy on some pics for me...

    is this the case or is he pretty average in height? what impression did you get, when you saw him?

  • i thought the dude going on about the filters and that, was the most normal, genuine guy of he whole clip!

  • when he looks you into the eyes it's like he's scanning your whole brain and soul

  • dear aphex twin, because of you i make love with the woman next to my house and i want to thank you for giving me the motivation to do it!

  • It would be cool to meet Aphex, I would probably tell him about the time when I was in college, I woke up in the evening just before sunset and Selected Ambient Works was playing, Hexagon, a serene track, and I just lay in my bed thinking, it doesn't get any better than this. Then I'd wish him all the best and bugger off.

  • Whats all this jibber jabber about his hair?! He aint JLS!

  • Reagardless of whether the guy is kissing his ass or not, I'm pretty sure RDJ doesn't give two tugs of a dead dog's dick. Sure fan interaction is fine, but when you start going on about how you love them etc., rather than talk about the music, it becomes pretty mundane for the artist.

  • "because of you I build filters and oscillators in reactor"

    -ass kissing douche bag

  • If I were there, I'd spend hours afterwards on that spot, worshipping the ground he'd walked on.

  • Luckiest person on earth :(

  • Dick James Winning.

  • Seems like a nice guy. Those fans were absolute arsecandles, though.

  • And Rich has been copping this for twenty years or so...

  • why are peasants even allowed to get so close to this god?

  • @WowEvanwoW Because he is a firendly, not-up-his-own-arse God.

  • o god this guy is like kissing richards ass

  • I wish the entire afx phenomenon could be wiped away. hes just another electronic music artist. peoples awe of him is just as obnoxious as organized religion 

  • Up until now I've thought his continued existence has been an elaborate hoax since the release of Drukqs. :P

  • Whole point of this music scene was that the people who made these kind of tunes were ordinary guys in their bedrooms and that's what Richard is. Just like any other fairly introverted British guy. Just 'cos his music's mental out-there stuff doesn't mean he's gonna act the same. and if the conversations a bit stilted, well, what conversation between strangers isn't? go figure. And the hair? The dude's in his 30's and I as found you just can't have long hair forever. It's called getting older.

  • @montrealmanu True true. He's just a guy when it comes down to, who is also a musical genius. As for the hair, well he's growing it back out again if you look at some of his most recent videos or photographs from live shows.

  • @neotriax Aah, in that case he's been lucky enough to keep his hair whereas mine has gone north! I met him in 1993 after he played Lord Byron's in Preston. He was just the same as this to talk to. Strange night though. He played white noise for about 5 mins which blew up the speakers then just sat on the edge of the stage peeling an orange into a beer mug. After he ate it he buggered off. End of set. Nobody complained though. Easy come, easy go back then thanks to the drugs. Great days lol.

  • @montrealmanu Sounds about right, he does have that 'don't give a fuck' attitude when it comes to shows. Great story, thanks for sharing! When he opened for Bjork in 2003 he played insane noise, pissed the audience off, & was behind the curtain out of sight. I would be pissed a bit if going to see him, but it's about the music anyways, heard what he played was brutal at that show! Wish there was a recording of it out... it's weird to hear these stories and then see him act like this in person!

  • @montrealmanu he is in his 30's what? you didn't state what the 30 owns...

  • @montrealmanu

    And in all reality, why do people actually care what he does or how he looks?

  • @renaud68 Couldn't agree more. It's all about the tunes.

  • @montrealmanu Yes, we are known as "Bedroom producers". Shy, introverted musicians with the ability to blow your fucking mind.

  • I truely hate myself for missing out of this stuff! great video!

  • Very British!

  • Menthol as always! rotfl

  • even with narcotics i would die by taking a glimpse at him

  • I would have asked him what it was like living in a bank xD

  • If I ever met the real actual RDJ I'd ask him to punch me as hard as he could in the face.

  • @Theoppositesex It looks like he was tempted to do that to them!

  • Fuck he even cutted his hair to ressemble him.

  • "mental as always" :F "humm yeah" 

  • this really pisses me off. i certainly hope he has had better experiences with fans than the likes of these kissass douchebags.

    it's like they're meeting fucking justin bieber. you don't talk to an actual artist in that fashion.

  • when he says 'mental' in an american accent i face-palmed.

  • @sidburnd1 !!!! haha

  • @sidburnd1 would u prefer he said 'mento'?

  • yeah hes pretty relaxed with the fans there its nice to see, you just know hes dropped a tonne of acid tho

  • I can't hear the audio over all the ball sucking thats going on...

  • @66420192 haha

  • they want pics and touches..but nobody wants to just hang...id be distant if i was Richard too

  • this make's me feel sad.

    I feel sorry for Richard

  • if only all artists were as creative and humble and generally awesome as Aphex!

  • Mental is a shit word and this clip is as pointless as it is awkward. Fuck going backstage.

  • Seems like if he talked with you long enough, it would have been a regular human-to-human conversation. Not a fan-to-legend conversation. He looks great at conversation, but his face is sort of dead giveaway of what he's really thinking. =P

  • Don't grow hair back!

  • why doesn't he wear the long hair? is it useful to wear the long hair?

  • fucking yanks

  • @DonaldBumsfeld Whinging as usual, eh Brit?

  • somehow this video makes me want to avoid all cal arts electro-acoustic majors.

  • because of you I finger my asshole while listening to come to daddy everynight and I piss myself when I watch the windowlicker video everyday....did I mention that I build filters and oscillators in reaktor? not that you care or anything

  • I met him back in 1997, got him to sign "I Care Because You Do" for me. Real nice guy.

  • grow that hair back out your looking serial killer

  • WOW I really think RDJ now is quite content with his life

  • Definitely seems more comfortable with his fans, which is cool. Can't blame him about long hair, I was growing mine since 98' till I got tired of it. I'm glad to see he is still around... hopefully I can catch a live performance someday. He's legendary, and you can't argue that.

  • 1:19 stop

  • i feel sick watching this

  • he got a hair cut!!!!!!!

  • i would piss in my pants

  • Comment removed

  • What kind of shirt is he wearing? It reminds me of Calvin Harris for some reason, if I'm right, I have to say, that's a little disappointing that he'd wear a shirt like that.

  • looks too much like a normal person here.

  • You Should Had Ask Him To Do The Classic

    "Aphex" Face, lol

    Just Kiddin'

  • hey richard! could you sign this CD for me?

    *whips out the tuss CD*

  • Phonic Boy, sup man. SPD in the digits here! i bet this is still our most viewed video.

  • WOW! u found him!

  • It's James alright, but what the fuck happened? Just watch the '95 interview and then watch this.

    Seems so odd to me..

  • umm, about 13 years happened. He had just got his haircut short in 2007, and he seems a bit different person. The major difference is that in 95 the video was a press interview, he was probably intentionally being dismissive as always, here he is being approached by fans after a show, different environments

  • @neotriax umm he swithced his meds

  • haha

  • first time i heard his voice....im a 6 year fan.......this is one of the only people i would be star strucken to see in real life

  • I never expected him to be this cool and open. I love it when famous people are like this with their fans.

  • haha i think he's mature now

  • i think this is the most comfortable i've seen him on youtube

  • Alex Medyhores doesn't like u anymore! lol

    idon't why! something went wrong! lol +)

  • Holy shit, he looks different without his hair.

  • An HOUR!? It took me two weeks to sort out my Visa, then they want me to play for a fucking hour.

    Classic

  • This kinda "footage" is pretty unreal.

  • forget him get back to the story with the big black guy! XD.. jj RDJ yr awsome

  • What a cool guy, he never needs body guards...

  • hes a naturall shy guy, but seems pretty cool to me. also, never seen him with short hair before. lol

  • I never knew he was this cool with his fans. Wowz

  • literally surreal.

  • filters in reaktor!??  orly!?? csound ftw.

  • check the nick of them, sycophantic morons! I'm dissapointed he didn't tell them to kill themselves. They would have done it! arseholes !

  • What a humble badass! Very polite gent.

  • he seems like a really cool guy.

  • how do you go backstage :OOOO

  • you buy a VIP pass, or you can attempt to sneak in there like I did!

  • HAH nice XD

  • hey man, what were you saying that you started doing due to his music? I couldn't hear it, also good show getting to meet him.

  • i thought he sounded familiar representing the music tech department! yay calarts.

  • I would pee myself out of embarrassment if he'd even just glanced at me. He's the man and I would never want to disturb him in any way.

  • If I had the chans to meet RDJ IRL I would become a crazy young bitch seeing Britney Spears!

  • is it you?

  • he is the man!!

  • licks

  • he's so embaressed. fans that kiss ass like that are straight up annoying. yea go ahead and give me loads of thumbs down.

  • thumb up!

  • haha, 1+

  • @toberborgan1 well nobody can say another persons opinion without knowing for sure. theyre nice people and hes having a conversation with them. after listening to an artists music for a long time you get to the point where you basicaly worship them. then what would YOU say to the artist. "ya i dont know your alright your musics ok i listen to it a little."  you only know him for his music its not like you can just go strait up and start having a conversation about anything but music

  • because of you i build oscillators and filters in reaktor also i have autism

  • i lol'd

  • lol

  • @heyguy1231 oh my GOD, he really DOES say that about the oscillators and filters doesn't he? i was so disgusted i only made it through about a quarter of this video.

  • @heyguy1231 i like you for this comment

  • Well it looks like Richard appreciates his fans, what's wrong about that? You never see videos like this, but uhhh... here it is.

    Personally I would be shy to meet the man, but I guess some people really have the balls.

  • cornering rdj backstage isn't the best approach. unless you get the opportunity to have a normal conversation without a video camera, i think it is meaningless.

  • wawa filters bububub and oscillators blalbal waaaa i know about music wawawa electronic music wawawwa

    not that guy's best moment

  • What was that douche bag at the end blathering on about?

  • why the fuck are so many of you hitting on the people talking to him?Everyone here is probly a huge fan of him and would more than likely talk some nonsense if they met him! And how on earth would any of you know what he does or doesn't like!

  • shake hands, nod, part .

  • shut your bloody mouth.

  • lol

  • Makes me cringe, some fans are huge morons.

  • i woudlent know what to say either.

  • "I use Max/Msp, I build filters and oscillators in Reaktor blah blah blah your such an influnece blah blah blah"- Stop pill chatting.

  • I WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU!!

    hahaha

  • crap!, richard whyd you cut your hair? :*(

  • I love the polite "Get the fuck away from me" smile plastered on his face the whole time.

  • Maybe - end of the day its better for him to be pleasant than not. After all giving positive energy is better than being closed off. People are always about the 'no'. Be open with people as you never know what use or how they may benefit your life and visa versa.

  • the cal tech art dummy should have just kept his mouth shut, what a turd licker.

  • i wish he could play in america more.

  • "because of you i build filters and oscillators in reaktor" lol that was hilarious.. Richard was probably thinking "I was building filters and oscillators long before reaktor was around, kid" did that kid seriously think he would impress a long time capy user with that?

  • Richard should hire that guy to build him some filters and oscillators.

  • lol

  • nicely done haha

  • nice haircut!

  • I love how Richard keeps to himself, he doesn't care about being famous or anything. The man's a genius.

  • no way kurt! if you ever see him shake his hand, kiss him on his lips, and run like hell. if someone says, "yeah i've met the twin." you can be like, "yeah well i kissed him on the lips." and your friends would think you're lying but you'd know the truth.

  • I could not walk up to aphex twin and talk to him.

  • lol yes its so surreal

    he is like... unreachable i would die lol

  • I'd say the best British electronic bands of the 90s: Aphex, Chemial Brothers, Prodigy, Boards of Canada, Chemical Brothers, probably match the biggest bands from ALL genres this decade.

  • wow, feel sorry for the guys trying to suck his dick one after another.

  • He doesn't seem like an asshole to me, he actually appears rather cheery in this video compared to some of the other times i've seen him. He's talking techy shit with the dude at the end so thats cool

  • Your mom looks like a bloody overused asshole.

  • i wish he made some new surprising stuff although it's rather impossible. he just got so much ahead of the time he had recorded his best stuff.

  • YES!!! going to see the master himself in march

  • Good screen name.......enjoyed it.

  • I spoke to him in 1991 and he was totally cool all the aloofness is an act for the fickle media. He makes his music for the love of it and does not like to be pigeon holed, he probably wouldnt do interviews at all if it wasnt a way of expanding his potential audience.

  • fans are so lame

  • Props to the calarts mus-tech crew for making this interview!

  • I submitted the video, not the Cal-arts guy, he was just being an idiot when I happened to whip out my camera.

  • wow, thanks for clearing that up

  • este video no hace mas que desmitificar su imagen siniestra... denlo de baja!

  • He's so cold and condescending in his older interviews. It's refreshing to see him like this. He seems changed.

  • he's just cautious of people "taking the piss" when someone has a camera in their hands pointing it at you,asking questions,its always a good idea to be wary.

    thats just what im "picking up" anyway.

  • personally i think he just feels really out of place, with a bunch of nerdy fanboys all around him. Who knows, he might not have any friends with him at all. He's not exactly one to have an entourage with him lol.

  • I'd be the same  if someone was pointing a camara in my face

  • So what he's a humble guy who expresses himself more clearly in other ways. DEAL WITH IT!

  • It's 'cause of the cameras, he doesn't like them. Neither do I.
