John Lennon Interview 1975 with Tom Snyder 1.0

[squalidshake]

@sinbysin666 for sure I have respect for anyone doing their job but you know snyder is a tool.

[Enjoyer1987]

there is a music in jamaica acalled "reggae"

[johnnycon]

John: I like the thing in Jamaica called reggae.

Tom: ...excuse me?

[macs19772002]

oasis

[schpoogie]

it's great that ahe was a peace activist but he was rich, with millions of pounds. Imagine the change he could have made if he used all that money for peace

[skiiddo]

@schpoogie He did use a whoooooole lot of his money up on charity. Most of the money he made from his post 1970 career went to charity in some way or another. But he and the other Beatles had amassed fortunes up to 200 million pounds each, John and Paul having made even more than that. It would have taken many many years to spend all that money.

[pdfstreet]

1988.. band reminiscent of the Beatles... 1994 more like

[loxwjman]

see the interviewer predicted stone roses and oasis

[MeYouView]

That's not surprising that John likes Disco and Reggae music. According to Yoko, if John had lived long enough he would have liked Rap music too!

[squalidshake]

i dont like this guy tom snyder he has this vibe that tells me hes a big tool. Im sure john lennon knew this too.

[sinbysin666]

@squalidshake I'm sure Lennon wasn't so judgmental. The man is doing his job.

[MrWhittak]

I listen to a lot of great sonwriters, Drake, King, etc, etc but I always come back to Lennon, the best!

[finaltrooper]

john likes raggae

[knightschwartz]

i like that he likes disco.

[blindpwn]

"there's a music called reggae" hahahhaha its funny how something so classical to us was once new

[rakash0500]

Uhm.. which band is the new Beatles? Will someone please tell me?

[DIMITRAAAx]

RIP John, in our hearts you'll be alive forever.

[MetrazolElectricity]

do they go to the bathroom? "i do, quite a lot"

[alltreesaregreen]

John. Such a beautiful soul.

[Greddy2Go]

Nirvana released "Bleach" in 1988 ha

[andmaketherain]

Well, it is really shitty that he was murdered. It would have been great if he was still alive.

Just goes to show how brutal humanity can be.

At least we havn't had a third world war yet, but the environment is still in danger.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

Hard to get good interviews of any length like this in this day and age with any musician...

[mustanglover12]

"HOORAY!" haha that was kind of adorable.

[Zeppelinguy666]

i think tom talks about oasis at 3:10 haha

[inibigfoot]

@6:34 Tom Snyder makes a slip and almost says "public lie"

[eatmedrinkme420]

After seeing this, I truly believe Snyder inspired Dave Chapelle's impersonations of white people. Lol. Snyder isn't even your average "white boy", he's fucking neon!

Also, love John Lennon. Such a brilliant mind, & was a credit to the entire human race.

[Maggynus]

That whole thing in 1988....yeah never happened. Hasn't happened. Won't happen. Sound cannot be stolen.

[UnitTheory]

HOORAY!!!

[redpaul79]

Snyder: Taurus sun/Capricorn moon--same signs as Chapman (and Hitler) ... fixt/cardinal earth -- Lennon: Libra/Aquarius ... cardianl/fixt air

[mollieann13]

i love john lennon, and i think he is amazingly talented.. but lets be realistic.. he's kind of a jackasss .. like if you agree

[Rukkisman]

He totally predicted Kurt Cobain! 

[highonpgtips]

@Rukkisman ahh yeah man, totally thought that too, haven't really seen many interviews or known much about this guy (apart from his epic musicianship), but this guy is a complete legend and genuine bloke! 

[stevenoc]

Oh come back John, PLEASEEE!!!

[vgr112261]

Lennon was clean and sober here. Great interview, though Snyder was a doof.

[shrubber45]

" I like the new music out now... Disco... its all right." lol. He seemed so unenthusiastic about it lol

[THE123HAMMER]

Tom Snyder was one of the biggest media puppets I've ever seen.

[gnossticc]

I guess Lennon would be totally disenchanted with the "music" we have today. Praff!

[gnossticc]

He was a very wise one in many respects, and very humble considering the cicumstances

[rockchickfairy]

how wrong was he about there being a new band like the beatles

[moonsugar1]

2:52 and that group was called oasis! few years off tho tom... lol

[XxMrDudexX]

HURRAY!

hurray...

[eksistentialisti]

hahaha, they talk about Oasis...

[nickloks]

6:15 do they go to the bathroom? stupid reporter. "do you"? FUCKIN IDIOT

[sallygirl2066]

@nickloks haha thats so funny

[Supaduck0]

Im glad John appreciated Reggae.

[BenBroPro]

I love at how around 8:04 John and Tom both thank the guy who mentioned the correct location. Wish i was alive when Lennon was.

[elephantstone222]

id love to know what lennon thought of punk... does anyone know any good interviews where he mentions it?

[JohnNiemsMusic]

"I was playing with Paul since we were 15 , and he is very nice!" Typical funny Lennonism! I watched this LIVE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO APRIL 28 1975!

[Robin89uk]

I fuckin love this Tom Snyder guy! Such a badass voice/manner of speaking. Also he's extremely erudite in comparisson with todays fucktards

[peterhansenism]

John was so awesome in the "Lost Weekend" period of his life .. He was still under the hex of Yoko, but he was thinking for himself! It's a shame he was so insecure that he had to be under the hex of someone throughout his life, but Yoko was the worst influence on the poor guy I can think of.

Anyways, excellent interview and very interesting conversation! Thank you for uploading it!

[CruiseControlOne]

There aren't any artists like him anymore. God Bless, John Lennon.

[The6thSimpson]

'There's a music in jamaica called reggae'

Hard to believe it was so new back then...

[chinaisaboner]

1988...lol

[aliceasommeil]

a true artist.

[Hadreleii]

"...and we thought to show everything. People are always looking at people like me, trying to see some secret, though: what do they do what do they do, y'know...do they go to the bathroom? Do they eat?"

"Do you?"

"I DO, quite a lot."

Hahaha, oh John...

[GhostDee15]

Just... Legend!

[dowling1981]

@GhostDee15 You don't think he seems a bit annoying as a person to talk to?

[GhostDee15]

@dowling1981 Too much of a fan mate.

[dowling1981]

@GhostDee15 Is it true that Ian Beale is a fan of Jonathan Lennon?

[johnnycoolkids]

tom snyders a fucking cockbag

[Rabelsk8]

@johnnycoolkids i totally agree mate

[jdenicholls]

@woodleoo65 Er...yes we do.

[gotGodandHislove]

Wow. these interviews aren't about who's dating who. they're not a celebrity telling a story just to entertain a crowd watching, they're about LIFE and the musicians LIFE and opinions and deep thinking and OH M G its so AWESOME I could just watch it forever cuz its actually INTERESTING!

[jmad627]

@gotGodandHislove And he's not promoting a new LP, movie, or book.

[dchs11]

@gotGodandHislove well yea E! wasnt around then and this wasnt an MTV interview this is an NBC interview so watch list cable and more major news networks if you want to see serious interviews are you 13

[gotGodandHislove]

@dchs11 13? no im 16 why? and ok I'll do that thanks :)

[deeewd]

2:55 - three ears early oasis prediction

[VioletParkerVault]

3:48 LOL I love that...HOO RAY!

[aaandrew1]

John seemed like an intelligent man. Did he really believe a bed in for peace would really make a difference???

[ManfredDeJesus]

odd that Tom should speculate that in 1988 there would be a revival of the beatles sound, because he was absolutely right.

[GroovyColouredLove]

@ManfredDeJesus

you mean grunge? That's pretty interesting actually.

[Vinseneb]

It's a shame that his openness cost him his life,nice post!

[snoogans999]

gerchblog, zamblingos.....awesome

[fishe153]
