Steven Wilson Interview

[Soloxable]

Steven Wilson is one of the greatest musicians that USA have ever produced

[dimebag975]

@Soloxable He's English bud... 

[Soloxable]

@dimebag975 nope he's American dude, I can tell by the accent.

[dimebag975]

@Soloxable U sure? Wiki says hes English... Ive heard him say he was english before, and he pronounces everything with a english accent lol

[Soloxable]

@dimebag975 Wikipedia is way inaccurate dude, anyone can edit it. He's American, trust me hehe ;)

[dimebag975]

@Soloxable Um im 99% sure but ok lol

[Soloxable]

@dimebag975 I'm 100% so I win hehe

[dimebag975]

@Soloxable what ever you say :P

[booooyah12345]

AVIV!!!!!!!!

[fathomspace7]

Hey, Steven, I love you! Also meant to say that when I got your autograph at the Blackfield concert in PA, USA (I had cried during the entire concert), oh and then I saw Aviv but missed my opportunity to tell him how beautiful his music is too!

[fathomspace7]

Hey, Steven, I love you!

[simmon4100]

The accent is because he's from London.

[sagigt]

AVIV!

[MaryShagrath]

what an amazing voice, music and accent he has !!!

Steven Wilson is GOD !

[W3R3W00F]

0:43

THOU SHALT NEVER FLIP STEVE WILSON OFF. >:C

[Horomaru]

Those hosts are warm. What a nice interview (:

[manufan1999]

AVIIIIIIIIIIV

[Fikmonskov]

Thanks for putting more sound ;)

[Niloc14]

"AVIIIIV!" I have NEVER heard SW make that sound with his voice before. Hilarious.

[Franlop3z]

I've never seen Steven in Portuguese tv. -.-

[DodoTheBird1973]

LOL! I'm going to see Blackfield live in three days and now I'm not sure if I'd be able to stop myself from shouting "Aviv!" during the gig.

[Thatmetaldude590]

@DodoTheBird1973 Hahahaha, did you shout it? :)

[DodoTheBird1973]

@Thatmetaldude590 Yes, I did! Even twice. Although not during songs, because I didn't want to annoy Steven. ;-/

[thaiceltic]

Yes! Steven is alot prettier than Aviv!

[Utangel17]

AVIV! we love you in Poland xD

[starretards]

Umm I must say if you actually LISTEN to porcupine tree you would know that their songs are the opposite of simple and are extremely complicated especially the drums part. And if you want a complicated guitar part just listen to normal. Try learn that!

[markkkvamp]

AVIV!!!!!

[ultimate0death]

@jahmbo

If you follow Porcupine Tree at all, you would know that about a year ago they said publicly, as a band, that they are tired of their concerts being filmed and posted everywhere, and they think it is simply rude, intrusive, and disrepectful. Which it really is, even to the people behind you.

So show some respect.

[CanadaGradeEh]

Is Blackfield still going? I don't really listen to them much, but it'd be cool to know if they have something new in the works.

[hAzz2theBeat]

the best musicians are always from England

[gotroot801]

Ironic that this interview picks up right where the clip in Insurgentes leaves off.

[jahmbo]

my video was taken down by Porcupine Tree LTD. It was a shitty quality phone quality movie of their concert in LA. Pathetic. I bought their albums, I paid for the concert. Fuck you. Signed, a former fan.

[nhonho23]

@jahmbo

You probably know this, but it's not really Porcupine Tree that make these decisions. I'm pretty sure Steven & co. love videos of their shows.

[blackVmetal]

@jahmbo Didn't you post this same comment on another Steven Wilson interview? Dude, it's not PT, it's the label/management. Calm down.

[anymetalwilldo]

thanks for uploading

i have only seen odd bits of this interview in his film

[larsyulia]

aviv geffen just shit comparing to the great Steven wilson

[kawaiipanda24]

The... silly...... American...... accent..............

*crawls in corner*

It's not even his first language, and he regrets that >.>

Thanks a ton for the upload, and it wasn't like a lot of morons who try to upload something they taped 20 feet from the screen XD

[Deathshuck]

Also, Trains looks like rather easy song to play. Gotta learn that ;P

[psaionyx]

@Deathshuck surprisingly most of the songs Porcupine Tree do are rather simple

[Deathshuck]

AVEEEEEEEVh

[pandemichalo92]

Awesome interview, never seen this before, fav for sure.

[Oenols]

This is the funniest thing I've watched in a while.

[Gamagachee]

2:12 oooOOVWEEEVE!!! lolz 2:45 again!!!!! roflcopter

[MsLondonfog]

SW is looooovely, i can die for PT! .SW is smart, funny, i love WAY OUT OF HERE, great lyric and music...

[ayreonaut]

great version of "trains".

[Stone4231]

This is amazing,  AVIV!!!

[Computerdisplay]

"most of the people are going to be yelling steven, because you are much prettier than aviv" hahahahaha i thought the exact same thing when i saw him playing shirtless with steve at his side.

[sorms1]

thanks for turning up the sound camera man! such a great video, thankyou :D

also this Aviv G fan story reminds me of my experience at PTs sydney show in 08. this girl would just yell out "TRAINS!" at any silent moment eheheh also screaming along with the lyrics, drowning out SW voice. darn!

[agaq]

Steven is hilarious ;]

thanks for posting...Aviv! XD

[kadankadye]

Steven Wilson is musical genius personified, he is an absolutely talented and humble individual; truly the man is God's gift to music!

oh, and one more thing: AVIV!!!!

[MistahhB]

Aviv? what does it mean?

[PorcupineFloyd68]

Aviv is the name of the other main songwriter in blackfield.

[SlaveExplosion]

@MistahhB Aviv Geffen is the other collaborator in a side project called Blackfield.

[immortalxpulse]

such a jetsetter.

[harmony0404]

oooooo... lovely boy

[YtseJam214]

LOL!  AVIIIIIIIIIIIV!!!!

[DarkPouPou]

2:13 and 2:44 are priceless moments AVIV!!

[Achw3l]

He, unlike most musicians, seems like a sympathic and down to earth-person, besides being one of the best songmakers worldwide. Cheers from Norway :) Oh, and AVIV!!!!!

[Escapez26]

AVIIIIIIV greetings from Poland xD

[onedress]

AVIV!!!

[gerbilisy]

[harmony0404]

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

[luthierjustin1]

If you only listen to the radio then you'll only find crap, theres a ton of great music here in America. You just have to look

[robertoxmaynard]

[blackl53]

[733quiron]

skktrbrainer: Thanks for sharing this video. It was funny.

I liked this version of Trains. :)

[skktrbrainer]

u welcome :)

[ganiiit]

<333

[nadavnaz2]

Well, i'll rephrase that. We don't have him, just sometimes

[HATECREWrulz123]

Wilson is from england.

[LordKrodius]

Great interview and great song. Trains was the song that got me hooked on PT. But, why does he play it in a lower key whenever he plays it live? I really like the original key he had it in.

[SigzLV]

its too stressful on his voice to sing that high constantly

[ashenhaze904]

Well he usually plays Trains witht he babicz anyway. I think that's a Cort

[aameenjohal]

no wonder he sang trains.

thats not his usual guitar. he uses babics, doesn't he?

[porcupineFRITO]

it seems.

[trongs01]

no, i think this is before he endorses babicz.

this is the same guitar he uses in the lazarus video.

[QuinacridoneRose]

I don't think I've ever been so proud in my life of being able to pass for an Israeli girl XD

[Mrmemania21]

its a great interview, haha, down to earth guy. Also, i like when he speaks of 'people want to practice' there english, and its true being all american accents. Just like Japan. Rather annoying. I think.

[alexiss3]

יפה שצלמת את זה,

היתי איתו באותו יום אצל ליאור,

באמת היה מצחיק:).

לעומת זאת, קשה לשבת שם בתור הקהל-זה בטוח.

[natureconspires]

AVIV!!!

[ELEMENTALMUZ]

Steven has a great sense of humor as well as being on top of the world.

[FlightFromRangoon]

capo-ed at 5 on the album, 2 live,

[driftwoodjunkie]

ahhh, no wonder I can't get any attention from my favorite musician on the planet...light skinned blond chicks aren't his thing! OK, I'm off to get a nice tan and a dye job...

;)

[vegegoku101]

ahhh cant wait for Insurgentes! hes just one of those musicians thats ever changing but always brilliant.

[romanblood]

Bring on the solo album, November looks bright this year!

[rachmaninov46]

poor steven! 3 semitones down! bad throat day!

he rules anyway though! :D

[tomh9876]

When PT play Trains live it's always in that key!

[rachmaninov46]

so, he the guitar detuned in the studio version?

[ktuluflux]

The capo for 'trains' is always at the second fret when they play it live.

[Sora124]

Hell yes, Trains! Great interview, Steven is funny as hell.

[AppleVannie]

nice :) though i couldn't catch everything but hey, then i watch it again ^_^

[gokce2112]

steve's the man.

[xSlaveCalledShiverx]

This is fucking awesome. Thank you so much for posting this.

[tylthomas]

He's such a great musician.

[MolokoFantomas]

In chile

S.Wilson

Or... at least... IN MY HOUSE... HE IS

popular ;)

[Misanthrope02]

AVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIV!!!!!!!!! hahahah LMAO

Steven Wilson is God. No doubt

[romanblood]

Steven you are a god. Musically, and just normally.

[vondicus]

AVIIIIIIIIIIV

[Fritha71]

Probably the first and only time so far Steven has made it to a TV talk show of any kind, heheh! The man did good, very entertaining stuff. He knows how to be funny when he wants to, with a quintessential english style wit. Love ya, Steven!

[MrGreenLand]

Oh yeah, btw, when was this interview aired?

[skktrbrainer]

the same night i posted it. u welcome :)

[Kinshasa9200]

is the PT popular in israel?

[skktrbrainer]

ehh.. yeah, but I think blackfield is more popular because of aviv geffen.

[MrGreenLand]

Thanks for posting this up! Classic interview, it's rare that one gets to see Steven's humour emerge so freely. Wonderful acoustic version of Trains, too, thankyou.

[patrikandersson87]

this goes to my favourites :D... just an amazing guy. AVIVV!

[jorgeestevez3]

Good one, I wonder how many incredible interviews (like this one) are outside there, we will never see...

Thanks for the upload!

[FlashCE]

Lol amazing interview.

[Yaruschka]

he he he he...funny interview :-)):-))

[Timetakesusall]

Nice clip, thanks for the upload! :D

[HATECREWrulz123]

I love how funny he is in this interview. Its great to see this side of steven wilson.

[PorcupineTree1128]

"AVIVVVVV" lmao

[InterZlatan8]

Funny interview and good version of Trains, thank you

[Penz0r]

すげいですね！

[chocojoelikesrush]

indeed

[aquadonia]

LOL His interviews tend to me more serious and to the point (well, for the most part, lol). It's great to see one like this. So much fun to watch! Thanks for posting. :o)

[T4400]

I happened to attend the gig with that guy in the audience. It was on the 14th of december 2004 in Bydgoszcz, Poland. I found him annoying, but not as retarded, as SW remembers him. At his big moment the guy shouted: "Aviv... PAIN!" It's just for the record. Bye!

[MrGreenLand]

Must have been a funny moment. :P Wish I could have been there!

[BuildingTheChurch]

best SW interview yet.

[Livare]

God this is fucking hilarious, haha.
