Morrissey Interview - BBC Culture Show

[gsturges100]

i think Morrissey sees an honest interviewer...remember Morrissey used to write to the music press daily...he sees himself in the interviewer...Morrissey is careful with who he chooses to let him interview him and what he says...I think Morrissey is being honest with this guy other wise Morrissey would have slapped him down with his acerbic wit!

[whackmykitty]

oh god i love him

[pawsturedogtraining]

interesting to me how so many say they love Morrissey and how gracious he is, yet post ungracious comments about the interviewer. please don't let what Morrissey teaches go in vain. he teaches by example (one of the last pure spirits on this earth) but most can't see past their own noses. What would your behavior be like sitting that close to the man? hmmm

[MirrorKillMusic]

FAN-BOY!!

[LenaLonsdale]

*UGH* this interviewer is such a ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffuckin.......I have no idea what to call him. Morrissey is so gracious and patient with this goofball. Bless him :) He's so wonderful. (Jeeez - like....BOXING GLOVES IN THE FAAAAACE to the silly-haired wet Depend of an interviewer.....).

[checkthisout3344]

just looking at morrissey makes me want to cry, he is so amazing. i have so much love for morrissey.

[OrangeTrousersLike]

omg the interviewer is SOOOOOO AKWARD!!!!

[drewsmilitia]

This guy looks like an inflated Stewart Lee

[SirHatchporch]

Morrissey is hilarious. This man has the driest wit on the planet.

[Haasenpad]

"we've been through a period together"!

[TADGELL]

why does this twat interviewer keep asking basically the same thing over and over?

[GiveEmHellMCR]

OMG Morrissey is a king.

[MrTagomago72]

This interviewer is a wanker.

[foreverspears22]

desde que tengo 13 años sigo a morrissey es el mejor actualmente tengo 22 años y sigo mas enamorado d su musica

[JezzaforPM]

Morrissey. Proof that you can't speak your mind without pissing off legions of small minded cretins.

[surfthecentre]

Morrissey , proffesional Wanker

[whotookmyusername]

When The Fuck Was This Interview First Broadcast??!?!

[gtralisfr69]

Morrissey is hilarious. People who think he's an asshole really just don't get that he's not really being serious half the time

[auweia9]

i didn´t understand the first hero. John -- who?

[pilkyaddict]

who was his second hero? i keep hearing george best but surely not

[TheGroggler]

Can't bear the arselicking interviewer, he may as well of offered to suck Morrissey off.

[kaysee88]

@TheGroggler

LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[PrisonBreakFilms]

dickhead interviewer. fucking annoying. he's just asking the same fucking question over and over again. what a fucking twat.

[TheNewAgeOfDubstep]

why is everyone calling morrissey an asshole? i didn't see him act like an asshole once? people these days are scared of anything out of the ordinary, musician voices his opinion that contradicts the majority > OH HE'S SUCH A SELF RIGHTEOUS FUCK. not really? people hate anyone speaking their opinion anymore, everyone else wants theirs to be heard, and if you think im contradicting myself im not, i couldnt give a fuck if anyone reads this, Morrissey <3.

[armandsdamanhoo]

Imagine Morrissey suddenly saying: 'you're not trying to be gay with me or anything are you?'

[system922]

Morrissey is the greatest example of why we should separate the art from the artist. Brilliant artist, yet a total douche. Why would anyone want to listen to this geezer talk????

[lovecraftianmonkey]

hey - i went to school with this interviewer - he actually was a smiths fan.

[Ali74]

Hes clearly been influenced by Oscar Wilde

[daambassador1]

@paxazzari lol yeah the interviewer is absolutely clueless

[paxazzari]

I don't think this idiot knows who Morrissey is!

[playerdepimp]

the first 15 second were already hilarious i rofl

[ArchieMoore]

This is painful to watch.. interviewer is trying to hard for a rapport he will never achieve.

[coolkayaker1]

This interviewer likes to hear his own voice. I hope he's currently unemployed.

[myboomstick]

great thumbnail. morrissey = legendary asshole lololol...

[MrJoelyboi20]

love the smiths, but morrissey is nothing more than a childish, self-righteous, pseudo intellectual fuck-wit with a following.

[SendInTheChickens]

@MrJoelyboi20 there's a good chance you have a very deep sense of your own ordinary-ness; and his extraordinary-ness makes you feel worthless. Your fault - not his.

[MrsMorrissey13]

@MrJoelyboi20 Is he fuck. He's just fat to intelligent for people such as you to comprehend,

[ZobaK1]

he´s natural and honest... I love his music!

[judybatstn]

lmao

Who was this interviewer???

[jewsarerad]

Viva moz!

[donSparda]

Who came here because of the disgusting thumbnail?

[raiseitup01]

"not terribly sophisticated time" true that

[pandaeyes42]

Hey Morrissey, kiss my big, hairy butt!

[LedZeppelinfanboy]

i do love his music ....but christ what a cringe worthy interview ...please lad

....crawl back out of morrisseys arse ...there is only just enough room for his

head ........

[MrFungud]

The interviewer is insufferable. What a shitty bunch of questions.

Why people place other people on pedestals, because they sang some amazing songs, then get disappointed that they aren't flawless gods in person, despite the act they put on...is beyond me. He is what he is.

[josaturated]

prick mank

[clownsfartconfetti]

Nice ego there frenchy. Anyway, on an unrelated topic, I would like to ask the nice people of the UK to please take Piers Morgan back. The nice people of the US will gladly take Madonna off of your hands. Is it a deal?

[cuntjizzle]

the interviewer wanted Morrisseys dick so badly

[tango280581]

Hes not arogant hes just messing. People just dont get it

[OliviaAlice16]

@tango280581 I so agree

[XwhatshesaidX]

i love this man! you either get him or you dont. He is real and genuine and so damn what if he is a tad big headed sometimes? he deserves to be cuz nobody else out there has the balls to be honest.

[andrew19vato]

is it just me or is morrisey an asshole?

[FourJamLions]

I got that Bacon & Sausages you ordered Mozza :)

[asadhonda]

he's so hilarious, people just dont get it.

[kmixxx101]

I just saw him on conan o'brien and then looked him up and watched this interview he comes across like a dickhead but I'll still see it his music is any good

[bensimps123]

no body on here gets irony !! THICKOS ...LONG LIVE MOZ

[gwillig]

I don't understand how someone can make such amazing music and be so fucking retarded. I really just think he's stupid after this.

[MisterMistmoore]

Love his music, but sweet lord he is a pretentious miserable person.

[2012endofanerror]

'WE LIVE IN NOT TERRIBLY SOPHISTICATED TIMES.' Good Lord, how true.

[Deathmitekillers]

I just love him, just so much :)

[lliillaahayes]

Kill the DJ!

[toecutterr6]

Darius!

[Quadcoreification]

Morrsery was the worst guitarist who ever played with The Beetles

[crazywilliam100]

This fucker can't sing.

[SchwarzeneggerAKAgod]

Morrissey, bit of a cunt but the smiths are true greats!

[leevwe]

what a knobhead he talks more shite than tom pep,

[hapaboi39]

I never tire of Morrissey or the Smiths. He and Frank Black are my favorite singers of all times.

[cackermuffin]

david brent.

[FUSTMUSIC]

This must be who Kanye West looks up to.

[krwindir]

Is this seriously an interview? What a sychophantic wanker!!!

[TheShrink1911]

"who are your Heros?" Mozzer: "living? nobody! Dead? Thousends!!!"

I agree. My only living hero is Morrissey himself, everybody else are dead!! Poooooor world! but at least there is Morrissey! :-)

[alarkinsane]

Is this a parody? the interviewer is really nothing more than a fan boy who wants to jump on top or morrissey.

[seriussam101]

It's all the hair. Always has been.

[SnapCracklePOWPOWPOW]

what a dildo

[koolzy1]

Morrisey is a Legend.

[xxGARYXGLITTERxx]

Morrissey, pioneering being an arsehole since 1959!

[bensimps123]

@xxGARYXGLITTERxx idiot , whys he being an "arsehole"

[SendInTheChickens]

@xxGARYXGLITTERxx not before bukowski, now, sir! he's only following in a fine tradition of arseholes.

[FlowersForFirth]

MOZ IS SOOOO GORGEOUS !!!!!

[ShoulderShrugger]

that interviewer is such a douche!!! I couldn't have thought of more stupid questions.

[GPD1984]

Morrissey...please...please...­just shut up forever. I dont give a crap how many "loyal" fans you have. Youre aweful. Youve always been aweful. Youll always be aweful. Go cry about that you little turds who eat this limey bastards crap up.

[busckeen]

@GPD1984

hahaha fucking love it. You need to react to it. Rattled by Morrissey. Music needs people like him or else the world would be a generic carpet of shit like you fucking filthy yanks pedal. Go and watch American Idol you fucking statistic cunt. Well in Morressey rattle them pack of nothing cunts.

[AdamDallas]

What a bloody twat!

[swingingsimon]

76 people voted for Attenborough....

[anunnaki2006]

Attenborough wishes to depopulate the United Kingdom by 50%

[Jeansieguy]

Slap the cunt with a steak! 

[harrywhoyou]

@Jeansieguy i like morrissey but this is fucking funny man!

[STACEROXX]

The interviewer is horrible ..

[Soundgardener80]

@STACEROXX he seems pretty sound to me

[edosan1983]

This guy just asks the same questions again and again. When Morrisey says 'it's a bit mind numbing', I feel there may be two meanings.

[safronlovechild]

get a room

[Boroladful]

The person interviewing him is annoying me to seath what an arse kisser !

[RemoTheDestroyer]

Perfect example as to why fans should never be interviewers.

[uhcakip13]

The uploader couldn't have picked a worse image for the video's thumbnail...

[RedDeadSoviet]

@uhcakip13 true lol

[squarefred1983]

it happens to everyone. when everyone spends the whole time telling they're a genius they start to beleive it. gotta love the implied arrogance. to go against the grain like that and make it work takes a certain kind of person.

[opeygon]

Viva Moz!

[diskochimp]

Another vile BBC sycophant. Hilarious.

[fco242]

woo! George Best 6:45!

[12SeanH]

Morrissey treats the geezer with utter contempt, whilst said geezer acts incredibly homosexual and is non-literally chicken choking. What a contrast.

[kes11]

what an arse lick

[confucio9n]

To me Morrissey is the kind of artist that needs to be dead to become a recognized star. It shows how underrated he is. What a pitty.

[mumuearth7]

Can't say"Hello I'm an icon" - and yet that's kind of what he did with the smiths, no?

[mumuearth7]

Rubbish like that- still cool after all these years

[Cadizhead]

Morrissey: un mito viviente. Cuando muera, espero que dentro de cien años, será recordado como uno de los más grandes.

[MrQuackcandle]

The image still of Morrissey's face is what attracted me to follow this link.

[ytdtoakridge]

The Marlon Brando of music.

[55butts]

what a miserable fuck morrissey is

[TEZZA833R]

Jesus christ, sorry!! but you know when an interview is granted from morrisey, why send an absolute cock into the room.

FFS, get some people who know a bit to talk to him, BTW the british public love you because you've never lied to them.

[PeteSK83]

Morrisey, 'Yer' music is flawless. You on the other hand , are a complete tit. I thankyou

[bensimps123]

@PeteSK83 why is he?

[bensimps123]

strange he mentions george best as a hero ...why?

[theunsheep]

@bensimps123 Allow me to offer some explanation: Best was ultra famous, perpetually confused, unmistakably vulnerable, painfully shy and unbelievably good-looking. Characteristics quite palpable in Moz. Moreover, he was an enormous deal in Manchester when Moz was young, a superstar. In fact, Mozzer saw him play at Old Trafford and consequently dubbed him 'unquestionably the greatest' association footballer. Also, Morrissey's birthday is the same as Best's and Best was Irish, like Moz's parents.

[timewillprove]

7.18 Exactly, exactly. Mmmmmm, very charming!

[UKcass1]

Get a bacon butty down you,ya miserable cunt!!!!!!!

[cookieman38111]

When was this recorded???

[leonakita]

JESUS!...WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHIP SOME DENTISTS OVER TO ENGLAND!.. im so tired of looking at toothless brits on youtube!

[icudmerderascoop]

@leonakita Yeah! Everyone should have the same pristine white teeth, the same nose job, the same haircut, the same botox and the same opinions. Bloody free-thinking brits with no healthy insecurities about their appearance and their pesky individuality. I don't understand why they can't just assimilate....ASSIMILATE!! *robotic beeping*

[larissadean]

@leonakita who was toothless in this interview, they just have a life so they dont focus on unimoportant things....

[larissadean]

@leonakita who was toothless in this interview, they just have a life so they dont focus on unimportant things....

[timewillprove]

@leonakita Who's toothless? I can't see anyone with teeth missing on this video.

[funkateer17]

@leonakita A lot of Yanks have less than perfect teeth as well. The only reason you never see them on TV is because they're not allowed on..

[Soundgardener80]

People only hate Morrissey because he's not afraid to reject the use of the bullshit modesty that most celebs feign, he is real and not ashamed to say what he thinks

[megaEDWIN3]

me Id rather die

[jbricandy]

Who DOESN'T want to suck Morrissey's dick?

[ofdoubtsandgod]

@jbricandy That aside - I can't share clip this with my son because of your comment...

[Sandfight]

@ofdoubtsandgod I am sure your son knows what a dick is if he is old enough to know who morrissey is. 

[ofdoubtsandgod]

@Sandfight He may know what a "dick" is but the concept of "sucking one" I trust he doesn't - he's 12 years old. He doesn't really know Morrisey yet - I was going to play him that interview to show M's humour, articulation and ideas - your comment was top (thus I couldn't). It seems time and comments have now moved on...

[Sandfight]

@ofdoubtsandgod Well it wasn't my comment and I don't know what you are talking about, time moving on, when I was twelve I most certainly knew what it was. Your may be sheltering your son from the "evil" of the internet but I guarantee his friends know all about it and they talk. if you are showing him the interview, don't show him the comments. If you are sending him the video, he has access to youtube which means he has been exposed to racist, sexist, rude and vulgar comments already.

[ofdoubtsandgod]

@Sandfight Firstly - yes, it wasn't your original comment (why on earth then would you defend it?) - I'm not sheltering him from the "evil" of the internet but rather the inane crassness of the original remark. His friends here in FRANCE don't use those sort of comments...yes he's heard some stuff from his English mates - but I can definitely say he's sheltered enough - maybe better explained as "well-brought up enough" - or even - "has a sense of English decency" enough NOT to know!

[cactaceous]

@jbricandy Me.

[claudinhaazeredo]

PELO AMOR DE DEUS UMA LEGENDA EM PORTUGUES, OU ATÉ ESPANHOL JA ME AJUDA! POR FAVOOOORRRRRRR!!!! Brasil não é só futebol, ha tambem quem ame Morrissey, mas o ingles (principalmente o britanico) é foda!

[majaroo1972]

I like him. And I love the way that people still get so agitated by him. If you don't like his music or the things he says, why does it matter so much to you? Name calling and insult throwing anonymously on a comments page isn't really that challenging is it? Why bother? Who's going to care? Why not go and do something positive instead?

[mmscott9]

The reason Morrissey rarely does interviews isn't because he's reclusive. It's just a struggle fitting his ego, and another person, into the room.

[lawndog6794]

@mmscott9 nice

[mmscott9]

Im glad we didnt have to see the interviewers tiny erection

[Elnino09uk]

I love morrissey he speaks the truth

[andrewburton12345678]

This dude is so fucking british

[otterboi26]

when will morrisey get it through his thick head that no one likes his solo stuff ,he should swallow his pride and start the smiths up again, it would be such a cash cow.

[Smallville357]

@otterboi26

i ADORE his solo stuff! i think its absolutely fantastic and so is he! so when are you gonna get it through YOUR thick head that no one likes people to falsely include them in stupid opinions.

[otterboi26]

@Smallville357 Sorry, i'll reiterate, people who know good music, don't like your solo stuff....... better :)

[Smallville357]

@otterboi26

oh god....im so happy that there is only one person like you in the world....

[Hexxedchild]

@Smallville357 Lolsies, he started the interview saying how he didn't want to blow his own trumpet, by halfway in he'd assembled his own orchestra. Morrissey is an egotistical bastard.

[Smallville357]

@Hexxedchild

modesty is bullshit anyway. anyone who gets up in front of thousands of people to play their music arent the most modest people in the world. i hate modesty. you're good at something, show it...dont be so shy. be proud. and hes amazing. hes one of my heroes...

[Hexxedchild]

@Smallville357 I didn't say otherwise, he should just make up his sodding mind as to whether he'll worship himself or pretend he doesn't.

[Smallville357]

@Hexxedchild

....well its not like hes gonna come on and say "im not going to try and be humble...im gonna tell it as it is because i am the greatest in the world (que evil laugh).....he wants people to know that he does consider them and how they perceive him....id do the exact same thing...

[Hexxedchild]

@Smallville357 Well I'm sure he considers the audience who's lining his egotistical pockets.

[Smallville357]

@Hexxedchild

hey....can we focus on the music? i like him and i reckon he's honest, because he is one of the greatest musicians in history....honesty and brevity are two things the world seriously lacks and its refreshing to have both thrown into one person....cheers god ;)

[Hexxedchild]

@Smallville357 Well I sumbit, debating with a religious person.

[JoKerJamez11]

bit pretentious at times, but man, Morrissey is a fucking Don.

[callahan9119]

Morrisey is a pretentious fucking douchebag, but man The Smiths were great.

[Cramtastic]

"So Morrissey it's good to meet you"

" ......Why?"

Man what a fucking boss.

[spiderjerusalem100]

Have a nice bacon sandwich, you'll feel much better.

[Chrisparties666]

dam morrissey is such a fucking douchbag

[TheModCon]

@Chrisparties666 How so?

[crazymaraca]

@Chrisparties666 He is. He writes a good tune though.

[melgibsonfaggot]

@Chrisparties666 Christ, he's just having fun. Lighten up.

[TheHellboyrobb]

cheer up !

[TheHopley]

You can't simply appear on Television and say "Hello, Im an icon."

[elo333333333]

the interviewer desperately wants to suck morrissey's cock

[CopyriteInfringement]

@elo333333333 don't we all

[jbricandy]

@elo333333333 who doesn't?

[cookieman38111]

@elo333333333 : hahahahahahaha!!!!

[Nekropzial77]

@elo333333333 LOL!

EPIC COMMENT, MATE!

[Sustanaelle]

love the smiths but morrissey now seems like a smug get sorry, i love him however u know

[geofftayloruk]

No one bigs themselves up quite like Morrissey.

[ipr111au]

he is brilliant

[LanguageServices]

Anyone know where there are any intelligent interviews with Morrssey? So few around, and when they finally get to talk to him they get a moronic twat asking banal questions.

[soupdujur]

@LanguageServices

I know he ruined the interview acting like a sissy.

[grkaskader]

3:52 ... things like that, LOL

love you Moz
