This interviewer is very good; calm and respectful. In most of the interviews that I've watched with early "punk" performers the interviewers are complete assholes to them.
He was all over the place. If the interviewer would have tried to dominate him or talk him to death after the fiasco of not being allowed to play his music, he would have exploded. By being quiet and calm and actually listening and apologizing for the cheap shot especially, it disarmed him.
What Gzowski does well here is use silence, waiting for Iggy to answer, something George Stromboloupolous, who has a late night CBC gig now, by contrast would not do. Thinking on it, maybe the silence was not for the best, and Iggy would probably enjoy meeting George more. George would better relate to the music and the man.
Peter Gzowski has done a lot of great interviews. This was awkward and uncomfortable at times, with Iggy/Jimmy seeming dangerous, like a cornered animal at times. Gzowski even went passive aggressive, refusing to give his name and saying that at least he uses the one he was given.
aboot. aboot. aboot. seriously, do you canadians realize how fucking lame that is? It's so out of context, just going from an american accent to like a fucking indian pronounciation of the word about.
I love this interview! I don't know how many times I have watched over the past 4 years. I have even transcribed the words.
Of course, the things Iggy says at 1:20-2:15 is incredible, but we have to give the interviewer a lot of credit for what he does to lighten the mood up at 2:40, because Iggy was clearly upset and he didn't owe it to us to say the things he did later. If it weren't for the host, we might not have heard 3:52-4:51 and from 7:52 on.
@TheJacksterman yeah exactly .. the days when celebrities were totally real and it wasn't just some phoney light hearted comedy show ... the world is sooo bullshitted today !! hate it!!!!!!.. LOVE IGGY ... he's as real as it gets x))))
@TheJacksterman when i was a kid there was stuff like this on tv and more- check out his interveiw with dinah shore and bowie's with cavett. intricate long talks and I remember it. Iggy and bowie freaked out allotta housewives in the 70s
can someone please tell me who Sidman Froyd is .... i have no idea who he is comparing the efforts of Johnny Rotton to and i really wanna know !!... someone help me out pleassse!! x?
@chumptowers thanks so much .... !!.... Jimmy is a genius!!O.O ... seriously ... this whole interview from him was amazing ... and Sigmund Freud-i must go research him as that's epic that's what he's done and a topic that highly interests me THANKS x)
@fullmetalfunk Thanks so much !.... that is so interesting!! ... i will definitely go researching into this man as he Psychology is something that highly interests me ... THANKS X)
I've always felt the very same way about the labeling of music and it's all a bunch of superficial bullshit getting into fashion trends and music SCENES. I love music not just "punk rock" and if you are a closed minded individual who only listens to one genre of music you should kill yourself.
i dont understand people something must be wrong with me i guess.as far as i can tell the interviewer is bein real cool he obviously dosnt understand this music or iggy pop but you can tell hes honestly trying to and iggy is giving really geniuene answers i dont see em acting like an asshole in any way shape or form to the interviewr. and what he did on stage didnt have any purpose. there were REASONS he did what he did on stage but no purpose to it. this was a great fuckin interview
The interviewer is great for being a person of his age at that time. On the other hand, it is a bit of a myth that the adult world always has been inappreciative and negative towards rock'n'roll. For instance, in the 1950's, even a lot of elderly people back then had high regards about Elvis Presley. It wasn't exactly like he was condemned by everyone over 40 and the same goes for Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols etc, etc.
He doesn't so douchie to me, he seems annoyed that he can't perform after traveling to do it. I don't think he's meaning to take it out on the interviewer; the expressions on his face, the smirks and subtle smiles make me think he actually likes the guy, but he probably wants to annoy the producers or maybe the CBC. If you've ever seen Iggy's interview with Dina Shora, you'd see he can be a very kind, well-mannered guest...but regardless, you can't see he isn't at least trying to stay genuine.
i have the utmost respect for the music of Iggy Pop and the Stooge which really was punk before punk. And despite all the outrageous things he did on stage, Iggy really was an intelligent guy. That's why it's so frustrating here to watch him reply to the interviewer's earnest questions with contrived bullshit answers like "What i do on stage is utterly no purpose!" like he's straining to be edgy and controversial. No need Iggy, you already are! John Lydon pulled the same crap with Tom Snyder.
best interview ever, period, shows what punk, hardcore, even hiphop has to deal with since it is a newer genre and most older people are against because they dont understand what really connects the artist with their fans
@kbop hardcore and hip hop is crap why? well i'd tell you why but youre not really gonna get what im saying because youll choose not to get it so im not gonna bother. just thought id say dont compare punk to those tryna be and wanna be genres because punk has a purpose and those dont.
Iggy's sad .......but what a talent...... and with age...... just gets better....... and whoever the canadian dude was, he was great to handle Iggy's 'sensativities', great interview.
"I worked very hard for a very long time to try to make something that's beautiful enough so that I can enjoy it and other people can enjoy it and I will continue working at it because I haven't nearly achieved it yet."
For a musician this interview is incredibly inspiring, so much truth about what music is really about, it's not about sales or number 1's or trashy music videos. It's about expression and creating something that is your own, and maybe people will like it.
@medusasbiotch lol yeah. I don't really get some of the things he said. Like the not feeling anything thing. wtf? Come on you gotta feel something performing in front of thousands of people delivering something that's supposed to give off a feeling.
I agree with that last thing he said. About working hard and tirelessly to make something that he felt was beautiful. I feel that is the sign of a true artist. Art makes you feel something, but an artist is always working to make someone feel something.
@eric144144 Bowie did help Iggy many times in a big way because he was just so reckless and wild. Iggy was hard to handle. But Bowie could and they were best friends. Their combined talents made some interesting music. They both have their own style. It's not fair to say that Iggy is a moron because he uses words like dilettante. He is articulate. His unmanaged aggression made him seem like a total nutter.
This interview changed how I view Iggy Pop.. made him even more awesome than he already was. The interviewer really does well for how difficult that was.
@PunkMartyr i didnt think he was difficult at all..just totally real; the complex nature of human that too many try & overplay with a public façades..&if that's seen as difficult well goes further to reiterate my point- the world is complex both cruel & beautiful & too many mother fucking social drones try & live a fantasy in a world that does not exist..i thought the interviewer was pretty much one of these taking cheep shot remarks and making a tribute to popularity..i absolutely love Jimmy!
yeah i've seen a ton of interviewers and am very disappointed in them , especially these days. But Gzowski is pretty damn awesome. Hes honest , straight forward. and sharp on the edge at the same time :)
I think he's discribing God when he sais he's "looking for something beautiful"... I totally get the "when i am in the gripps of my music i dont feel pleasure and I dont feel pain" i have been withing Gods gripps too and its amazing, its like warm, its like, i imagined the last time i felt that way must have been in my mothers woomb, it just felt like i had come home as in the deepest and truest meaning of the word...
you shouldnt blame it on the individual... yes Iggy, Rotter etc... were suposed to happen because of that kind of bullshit... But you shouldnt blame it on an individual interviewer, critic bla bla because they learned it from each other and that it was apropreate to do their job that way... these artists are around to brack roomers and kik walls down and they have methods that would wake them up if they were left ot get on with it but dont go on saying people are "arse holes"...
@StevieWondersWhy24 no way, this is one of the best rock n roll interviews of all time. if you dont understand why hes being the way he is then you dont understand why rock n roll or punk rock had the attitude that it did.
@StevieWondersWhy24 I don't know if he was particularly rude. I think the worst case of rudeness I've seen was Zappa on... gosh, I can't remember the program but he was a total ass. I really don't know much about Iggy just yet but he seems like a genuine artist here
@StevieWondersWhy24 very very true observation, and i think iggy realized that at around the 5:15 mark. He kinda tries to disarm the thing with a lil aw-shucks self-deprecation, and he goes out on a nearly BEYOND humble note when talking about himself in the last minute. Total turnaround from the coked-up and mean confidence that he entered in on.
iggy is a smart guy, and def a fan of humanity in the end, and this clip captures that coked-out paranoia of the period well.
punk rock changed my life for the better. i learned that self expression and inner passion are what really make you a human and that those are things that some people will never experiance. punk rock is art and you have to feel it, not evaluate it. punk has and will continue to change the world.
@fakepoetry unfortunately most punk rockers are tied to style, fashion and social mores and tend to be a bit snobbish if you don't fit their particualr specifications.....many i've known will act friendly with you one-on one, then ignore you you when their surrounded by their fascist peers......blue cheer.
goddamn...iggy is amazing. after watching this interview i no exactly who he is, i can understand his music so much more now. go iggy, go non conformity!
A person who enjoys the arts or someone who engages in a field as an amateur out of casual interest rather than as a profession ..thats the fucking definition which is pretty much what i said - when u refer to someone mainstream as a dilletante in regards to their knowledge of something like Punk Rock - i think my definition pretty much was right - rich white mainstream America trying to define punk without knowing anything about it but what they have seen on TV or read without experiencing it
You are right, I also noticed that. Iggy is a wise and thoughtful person, unlike other people who get carried away speaking stuff that come from emotional reactions or fake stuff that is used to be socially accepted. Iggy truly is a role model to follow.

yeah I think I can see your point,Iggy still is a good rocker and a darn smart one too,despite his craziness.

i love iggy. but of all the dickhead interviewers ive seen, this canadian guy seemed to be a nice, open kinda dude.
iggy was a bit harsh in his youthful arrogance.
maybe iggy was expecting a grilling from some hack broadcaster?
i imagine the iggy of the present would feel slighty guilty if he watched this back.

@StevieWondersWhy24 no way, this is one of the best rock n roll interviews of all time. if you dont understand why hes being the way he is then you dont understand why rock n roll or punk rock had the attitude that it did.

@tengobotas
so because iggy falls under the catagory of "punk", his aggression can never be misplaced?
"best rock n roll interviews of all time"? you are a fucking nerd aint ya? i bet you think the hall of fame actually means something you dumb cunt.
please excuse my fucking attitude, im just being "PUNK".

@StevieWondersWhy24 I don't know if he was particularly rude. I think the worst case of rudeness I've seen was Zappa on... gosh, I can't remember the program but he was a total ass. I really don't know much about Iggy just yet but he seems like a genuine artist here

fair enough, but that wasnt the presenters fault.

@StevieWondersWhy24 very very true observation, and i think iggy realized that at around the 5:15 mark. He kinda tries to disarm the thing with a lil aw-shucks self-deprecation, and he goes out on a nearly BEYOND humble note when talking about himself in the last minute. Total turnaround from the coked-up and mean confidence that he entered in on.
iggy is a smart guy, and def a fan of humanity in the end, and this clip captures that coked-out paranoia of the period well.

punk rock changed my life for the better. i learned that self expression and inner passion are what really make you a human and that those are things that some people will never experiance. punk rock is art and you have to feel it, not evaluate it. punk has and will continue to change the world.

@fakepoetry unfortunately most punk rockers are tied to style, fashion and social mores and tend to be a bit snobbish if you don't fit their particualr specifications.....many i've known will act friendly with you one-on one, then ignore you you when their surrounded by their fascist peers......blue cheer.

A person who enjoys the arts or someone who engages in a field as an amateur out of casual interest rather than as a profession ..thats the fucking definition which is pretty much what i said - when u refer to someone mainstream as a dilletante in regards to their knowledge of something like Punk Rock - i think my definition pretty much was right - rich white mainstream America trying to define punk without knowing anything about it but what they have seen on TV or read without experiencing it

You are right, I also noticed that. Iggy is a wise and thoughtful person, unlike other people who get carried away speaking stuff that come from emotional reactions or fake stuff that is used to be socially accepted. Iggy truly is a role model to follow.
