Mark Sandman interview

[runninonempiy]

his bass rig is for sale on EBAY RIGHT NOW

[Xephon212]

This woman looks like my ex-wife.  I'm going to go have a shot of whiskey and listen to Morphine now...

[JadeyJoestar]

argh i miss mark and bands like morphine, bands with balls to sound way differently from what the major market is offering. and rarely, the interviewer knows what she's talkin' about D:

[MrMiket79]

NKOTB wow now your talking

[TheSicSmurf]

is it me or does he look kinda like if you took jerry sienfeld and napolean dynamite if you smashed thier faces together and wiped away the blood.

[dimondcage]

she has a thing for mark

[branskeez]

u guys probably dont believe me but mark sandman is my dads cousin. and im serious

[iggycomix]

@branskeez and your point is?

[bostonrockgrrl]

@branskeez I believe. Did your dad spend any time with Mark while he was performing? I hope he has some nice memories of spending time with Mark.

Peace.

[TheOsteoboy]

thats the same chick that interviewed Jeff Buckley all those years ago- shit she mus be the sister of death.... evil bitch

[staticview]

I will always think of what he could have done. Later on, Mark.

[NarcissusFools]

interesting peek into the mind of him here...thanks for posting this

[ShaneMacgowanFan93]

Lou Reed+Philip Glass+Jon Lurie=Mark Sandman

[sublime88sublime]

...new kids on the block

yea, can't forget them...

[glueforall]

@sublime88sublime more like (subtle sarcasm overtones).."Yeah...can't forget them"..... :0

[mechusriva1]

The first time that I saw a morphine video, was early to bed. I was a child too and since that first time, I cannot put it out of my head. And now, I dont want to.

Sorry for my english!!!

Mark was a milestone.

[TheMichaelseymour]

Mark always reminds me of a person who "has the answers" and is withholding back from you ....and yet , i think he is brutally honest . He is disarming { to me } and yet i would trust that he would be nothing but sincere .....no excitability about him - thats refreshing ....it was all substance , hence , why the music moved you so powerfully .....or...could be - HE JUST FUCKIN ROCKED , low rock baby !

[merkraad]

Mark makes it sound so easy, like explaining how to play base, "i gradually promoted myself to play on two strings " ^^, what an ape.. Luckely i'm just barely able enough to realise he's f**ckin brilliant. and all his songs.. Love and piece m8..

[saitaro]

I fell in love with Morphine at the first time I heard them. It was "Buena". I thought then that it must be a very famous band, cuz the song is just too amazing. It seems very strange that not so many people know of them, even in the USA, not to speak of Russia, where I'm from. I tried to find a band that makes "something like Morphine", but gave up not long after: what these guys made is just too unique.

[nuke97]

A lot more people should know of Morphine.

[zakattack700]

MOST UNDERRATED MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME!

[MikeyRed76]

I started at one string 'cause that was the easiest.

[NEWKIDINTOWNMUSIC]

i loved morphine....such and underrated band that would have deserved becoming as famous as the stones or the beatles, imho the only indie band that had something to say ...what a style what a unique sound....

[kristofor12345]

@NEWKIDINTOWNMUSIC They might have been hug if Mark was still alive, such a shame

[blueprairiedog]

Just look at that man's beautiful face. Mmm.

[boyanmusic]

it is a nice interview and Mark is quietly brilliant as always. today is his birthday... Happy Birthday, Mark.

[Gammarklar]

what a visionary guy. mark sandman... musical legend.

[KristyB5]

Even his speaking voice was like smoke, gravel and sex.

[fluppyXC]

I wonder if this interviewer knew how lucky she was.

[kevhead66]

wow what a humble guy. great musician too

[Serpico69]

Thanks for putting this up...first time I've heard Sandman speak. Interesting guy...

Morphine rules. I've been listening to all their music for a while now, despite my hearing damage...Sandman - Rest in Peace.

[WestPhillyCat]

what an idiot interviewer.

[House38500]

@WestPhillyCat Why do you think so?

[yooiehooie]

I miss him sooooooooooo much

[TheHarecat]

Miss you man, thanks for your music. Helped me through my hard times and good times.

[ruidofaztrilhe]

...love you man. We miss you down here.

[mistabook]

That was a great interview. I notice he's a lot more patient in answering questions about the band's orchestration and how he came up with the two-string slide base when a pretty woman is asking them. :-p

[MobiusBandwidth]

@mistabook (it's spelled Bass), and he really didn't answer her question about how he came up with it or the instrumentation of the band, he just says we tried it and we liked it basically.

[mistabook]

@MobiusBandwidth Really? Pointing out a typo on a YouTube comment? Really? Is correcting people really THAT important?

[MobiusBandwidth]

@mistabook is complaining about it that important? when you're a bassist, it's really irritating, most people don't even know that it's different from a guitar. just trying to spread bass awareness among the populace. I ignore typos online, that's the one I felt compelled to correct. sorry if I bothered you so.

[cimattikaiman]

"...new kids on the block"

Mark: "how could you forget them..."

hahaha he had a good sarcasm

[icketypickety]

thanks for the post......morphine was a great band

[Marianobass]

from 5:00 to 5:07 wisdom words. he know it.

[moops155]

that was cool, nice , I hung out with these dudes and they were really great , rip bro

[BlowUpTheMoonAgain]

Thank you so much for posting this. I had never seen this interview with Mark.

[mosesonice]

u can see train tracks in his neck

[sonor23]

TrackS ??? I see one mark that looks like it could be anything .

[beats1969]

let's not forget the genius drumming of the original drummer , mr. jerome " can make a car horn groove" deupree !!!!!!!! he played on "good","cure for pain " and "the night !" amazing player and great all around guy !!

[sonor23]

Proud to call Jerome a " Good " friend . They don't come any better .

[TheHarecat]

Mark, we miss you buddy!

[vermasvidrio]

Mark Sandman era un iluminado, uno de los más grandes artistas y maravillosos seres humanos, tal como Walt Whitman, Fernando Pessoa, o John Lennon.

Un amigazo.

[SatanickSpirit]

Congratulations Mark Sandman ;D

[heartlake09]

Thank you Cure for pain is one of my fav albums ever. Great great singer.

[EGC69X]

Incredible one of the greatest bands ever, period!

[grae888]

thank you so much for posting this

[SCROGY]

What he says is true. By being minimalist you open yourself up to greater possibilities than going with the standard line up or way of writing. You are being forced to be original because of the limitations. Sonic Youth do this by using odd tunings.

[FishOn0408]

Morphine was such a perfect band. There was never anything in the music that didn't belong. The poetry of the lyrics, the soul of Mark's voice, the baritone sax. I was so incredibly sad when I heard that he died. Thanks for posting this.

[DustyPeople1]

Your words are true beautiful poetry

[rubyrose456]

@FishOn0408 NO DOUBT!!!! Thank you, SO MUCH!

[RandyEats12]

Awesome! He was such an inspirational dude

[andrewblk3]

Thank you! This is a Gem

[LTJMERCHMAN]

thanks so much, the only interview i have ever found is like 17 seconds =P

[lfisrael]

thanks for this upload, Mark Sandman is a genious of music. by listening to his songs and reading a bit about him, he looked like a man that could help people grow just through his words.

RIP Mark Sandman.
