this is the interview. alan and patti had been friends since they first met in munich 1976. so there is absolutly no reason for him to lie. in fact you see that shes on drugs when you have experience with drugs or drug people... so you know dont get me wrong but you will understand when you see the interview.
@Lioppaschen Hi there; for some reason, I was not notified of your response, and I just saw it now because I decided to revisit some Patti videos! I will check out that interview - thank you very much :)
The interviewer is not German . He's an Englishman called Allan Bangs, who happen'd to work for a German TV show, called ''Rockpalast Nacht'', at the time.
shes into excuses... she tells shes so excited because shes on televison and she cant control herselfe and so it may look unprofessional but when you know that shes on heroin and she says that she cant control herself than you see everything she said in an other light it kinda makes me sad the way she said i cant control myself ... i love patti
Patti has never done anything beyond pot and paiute and she has said this numerous times. With this interviewer though, I could understand the need for drugs...
@ccipollini1984 Common guys I do not understand how some of you can be so narrow minded. I mean, sure Patti wont tell the world look at me I took Heroin! I mean look how she acts in this video! She cannot answer easy questions, no matter how stupid the interviewer is! Also I think she was not really glad to take Heroin so all of your answers like oooh she said she would never do that and bla doesnt count for me! I am not telling she was a junky but she is defenetly on H in this vid!
@ccipollini1984 but i know how people on drugs act ive tripped like that and just cus she says she dosent see the need for drugs dosent mean she hasnt done it and who cares man its her life
she is on heroin in this clip... i just saw a talkshow on tv with the interviewer alan bangs who you can see in the clip here. he told that minutes before that interview, he went backstage to see patti and she was just doing heroin...
@Lioppaschen Well I'm really surprised to hear that. I know she was very against those kind of substances; she said her health wasn't up to it, and I believe her.
@Lioppaschen interesting. She has indeed made a point in public of not being a drug user, but I think a lot of that was because she didn't want to encourage her fans to do drugs. Looking at a clip like this and some others, there's no doubt...and if one listens carefully to some interviews around "Easter," she admits to using drugs at that time. BUT I think there's a visible difference between Patti high and Patti just eccentric, the former is incoherent like here.
The times in her career when she's been most successful, she's been sober at least in public. She may have solved the mystery once or twice when she (or a friend of hers) said that she's different enough mentally to be completely gone with any drugs. I think it's pretty clear here she doesn't hold her chemicals well SO, quite possibly, she meant what she said that she preferred not to do drugs, but she also said once that after 1978 she used them to keep the pace. Not good for her clearly.
Haha, this is great. I like the moment when Richard and Patti laugh at eachother because of the translation (2:10), but what happens at 2:41 and 3:33 is just hilarious.
And Lenny obviously doesn't like to answer a second question.
But didn't they have subtitles then? There's another German interview, with Iggy Pop, where the interviewer also translates everything.
lol, you'd think interviewers would be trained to run with things and just ditch their shitty questions if they arent working and humour the interviewee. their job is to have a conversation. this guy is terrible
FUN video! Exhilerated from the performance? Jet Lag? Smoke? Maybe a combination? Tired and having fun, for sure. I think the interviewer handled himself very well! Lenny Kaye saves the day. I LOVED PSG!!! Ivan, Jay Dee, Lenny, Patti and Richard Sohl! Patti loved them all. They were her collaborators, friends, and soldiers together on the road. Fighting the good fight. Richard Soul was so handsome. He passed away, not too long after playing on "Dream Of Life". We love you Richard: rest in peace.
the first writer asked if patty was stoned. No men, she wasn`t... she was comepletely fucked up! I saw her freaky show that night, on stage she was talking about beeing fucked up because of wine and acid.
That's funny; I have this on DVD, and I forced my husband to watch it (he isn't a fan of hers); I said you have to see this, she is so cute and giggly and sweet.... when he saw it he said "Oh JO!! She is ON something! How can you be so naive?!" :)
I like how it takes him about 4 1/2 minutes to get the answer to one question. Hahaha!
