Elliott Smith Interview With Janeane Garofalo

[pellebravesskylar]

Love both of these folks. He seems so sweet & shy. Was such a cute boy until drugs & alcohol ruined his looks. I think he was so sensitive, it was difficult for him to live in a hard world...and that's why he left us.

[TheElephant79]

She´s awful.

[Alexandra14anarch]

The second the video started and she was like "HIIII" I knew this was one of Elliott Smith's interviews where he just gets interrogated lol

[quesondriac]

Thanks for posting!

[RubberWilbur]

He's so self conscious.

[Majora99]

0:10 - They really fucked up

[Kleasone]

wtf "Elliot"... fuck them all

[PAULLONDEN]

"I'm here with,eeehhhhrrr"....yeah,that'­s a great act.

[TheTofuDrifter]

I love both of these people!

[tcorp12]

great hat!

[dannyutah29]

who killed elliot?

[BlaseReality]

@dannyutah29 No one he commited suicide. Stabbed himself in the chest like...3 times? Its either that or the girlfriend did it, I'm not sure if either was proven but people like saying suicide. Helps complete the image of poor, shy elliott apparently *shrug*

[BernardTunes]

"You can't get better at things you never play" *Looks at camera*.... Fantastic

[BansheeMilk]

I love both of these people

[blakcpavement]

ben ayfleck

[harbar3000]

Janeane, the reason that I don't like this video is due to my racist tendencies.

[AntonioSaucedo22]

She's awesome. And she used to be a great stand-up comedian. Plus, she gets the genius that was Elliot Smith.

[immortalass]

Not getting the Garofalo hate, she seems to be a good person, and this interview is as respectful and genuinely interested as anyone could be.

[AndreaMas189]

I feel like such an idiot, stupid, pointless, useless person, after watching and listening to Elliott, i mean that

[StoryeTime]

@AndreaMas189 You shouldn't, the only fact that you enjoy and are interested in his work shows a lot about you. Keep yourself credit!

Peace,

[StoryeTime]

Répondre à cette vidéo... I meant GIVE yourself credit ,))

[maxwellgoldstein93]

spelled his name wrong in the credits...

[aarossell]

... since when did people start hating on Janeane? If you were born after 1990 you don't get to have an opinion on her.... so shut the fuck up.

[kodychristopher]

@aarossell born in 1987. she is a bitch.

[aarossell]

@kodychristopher Great, thanks

[TheLeftyGrove]

@kodychristopher I assume you're a wingnut. Fugoff.

[ShirtlessLocke]

Garofalo may be a hypocritical cunt, but she can interview a thousand times better than that douche Carson Daly.

[spewintothis]

One T. Great job.

[aarossell]

@spewintothis You mean his name? 2 t's actually, but whatevs

[spewintothis]

@153greeney

Are you retarded? I know it's two Ts. Look at the video again, MTV misspells his name, which I was subtly making fun at.

[rayfield75]

I don't like many celebrities at all, even some of the ones that are in my favorite movies I remember them as the characters I related to in the movies as opposed to how they are in real life, but Janeane Garofalo seriously seems like one of the most genuine, caring and well-informed people out there. She was perfect to interview a guy like Elliott.

[HotBreakfist]

come back

[Murphyyy3]

A fleck

[IDontCareAnyName]

Wow dude, you used the word "faggot" on the internet. That is soooo cool, can I add you as a friend? I figure I can follow your "Favorites" list and keep up with all the shitty meme videos that weren't even funny six years ago. JILL SANDWHICH!!

[StayOutta237]

Garofalo was so damn hot. I'd love for her to tie me up and whip the shit out of me!

She's probably a good fucker.

[rhcprxbandits]

@PatsyBailey as celebrities it is our duty to read the news paper, then repeat it as if its our own opinion

[monkeyface1221]

his voice is just so pure~

makes me so happy.

(:

[F50Italia]

I would give anything just to shake this man's hand.

[manwhassup1]

" you can't get better at things you don't play " such a simple statement, but so poetic coming from Elliott, and so true. Miss you bro.

[rhcprxbandits]

who allowed this dumb cunt to speak with elliott

[patalberg]

*+t.

[TheElephant79]

What she does there except the Interview ?

[mark1800]

what's the song that starts 1:08? beautiful

[janessaschultz91]

@mark1800 it's baby britain, i would suggest the live acoustic version the album version sounds different

[staphinfection]

Sorry Elliott, but you had such a great opportunity, and you squandered it away with massive amounts of drugs and depression....

I wish you had been in a better place so your angelic voice and song writing would continue to grace us with more, perhaps even better wisdom....

[Redsparrowe123]

@staphinfection Depression, first of all isn't a choice. Secondly, you are assuming that he could have created at the same lvl as he did without his depression and addictions. Who really knows if he could have. Maybe tormented was the was the way his soul expressed itself. Perhaps he could have been better, perhaps not at all. Food for thought anyway.

[VincentPrice111]

@staphinfection Well he got clean before he died, if that counts for anything. He was planning to come back with some music, then he died strangely, be it suicide or murder.

[KellyGreen5555]

@staphinfection So you think Elliott "squandered it away?"

[joshuarawr]

0:10 "Eliot Smith" .. Fail.. Thanks for this though. ;D

[QuistTV]

awesome, for once a nice and meaningful Elliott interview.. I've just uploaded a quite Elliott inspired song called Happy Again actually .. let us know what you think? Thanks xo

[aaronmyers1982]

Can anyone tell me the name of the song that starts playing at 1:10? I love that song but have no clue what it's called.

[plxplxkthx]

@aaronmyers1982 it's an acoustic instrumental version of baby britain :)

[xsmith24]

how did they spell his name wrong?

[xetbxoxo]

i miss you so much elliott. i really do. i love you. thanks for saving my life.

[purplehaze0120]

He must have gotten so sick of playing Miss Misery

[aaronmyers1982]

@purplehaze0120 He did. do a search here on youtube for "elliott smith interview on much music and performance of waltz#2 PART 2" He specifically says he was tired of playing it.

[lillaayyyy]

what a beautiful person

[mommyimadeapoopy]

he was dressing EXACTLY HOW EVERYONE DRESSES NOW 12 years ago

[DeathtoAmeriCANTS]

@mommyimadeapoopy :I hate to tell ya...but I dont think t-shirts and jeans have changed that much over 30 years nevermind 12.

[grandmabilly2000]

I hope Elliott porked her

[FungusMossGnosis]

Oh my dear lordy lordy, they left off the second "t" in Elliott, holy rage in heaven, this is one horrible interview based on that, and what a worthless cunt Janeane Garofalo is to mispronounce Ben Affleck's name! She must die now. I hate everyone who isn't perfect like me and Mr. Smith. We're too good for this world.

[niaj4]

I wanna hug him ! His music is such an inspiration. So dissonant yet deep, each two minute song of his has some infinity in it to me. ^ ^

[eastcstsrfr]

wow I will forever refer Ben Afleck as Ben AyFlik. Thank you Janeane Garofalo.

[carlyann27]

good questions janeane. really.

[TheD28]

They spelled his name wrong...

[InsertNameHere145]

I stopped watching when they spelled his name wrong.

[tomthefunky]

"Please God, allow Janeane to follow in Elliot's footsteps and one day kill herself." Your humble servant Tommy, NYC.

[VincentPrice111]

@tomthefunky Hey, you never know if he actually killed himself.

A man doesn't stab himself, TWICE you know?

[tomthefunky]

@VincentPrice111: Let me guess, the CIA killed Elliott because they were afraid of a hipster douchebag epidemic.

[VincentPrice111]

@tomthefunky No, I could go into length about how it was more likely to be his then girlfriend but your comment was so incredibly hilarious.

I enjoy the the music the fellow made, but his fans are usually faggots.

[tomthefunky]

@VincentPrice111: Oh, I'm not familiar with how he killed himself. Did he really stab himself? Well, Artie Lange stabbed himself something like nine times last year, so I guess it is possible.

I can't imagine his audience could possibly be any worse than that miserable Janeane Garofalo's audience. Unless it's the same audience, which I suspect it might be.

[VincentPrice111]

@tomthefunky Apparently he stabbed himself twice, his girlfriend said they had a fight, and she locked herself in the bathroom. When she came out, he had apparently done it and she had pulled the knife out of his chest.

Ignoring the incredibly flimsy excuse for having her DNA on the knife (and lame general story)

He apparently left a suicide note, which is apparently very unlike him, especially the generic message that was on it.

His audience consists of people saying "omg I want to hug him!"

[tomthefunky]

@VincentPrice111: I'm sure the cops were able to determine whether it was self-inflicted.

Janeane probably thinks the Tea Party killed him.

[VincentPrice111]

@tomthefunky Actually, they couldn't tell for sure.

Because apparently there always has to be mystery around the deaths of musicians and celebrities, if you could call him that.

I wouldn't be surprised.

[KellyGreen5555]

@tomthefunky What the hell are you on about?

[tomthefunky]

@KellyGreen5555: Not sure because the new youtube makes it difficult for people to recall the original comment they wrote. But I'll hazard a guess and say I probably wrote something to the effect that I wish Janeane would die violently in a car fire. I hope she screams in total and complete agony for however long it takes to die in a car fire. Does that answer your question as to what I'm "on about"?

[KellyGreen5555]

@tomthefunky

Aww, sounds like somebody is sweet on Janeane. Bless your wittle heart.

[songdiver]

@VincentPrice111

You and your buddy tom are the reason Elliott may have killed himself...to get away from people who think and feel on the lowest levels of consciousness. The good people always die or are murdered...yet those who make this life almost unbearable are too unintelligent to consider the bigger picture long enough to even contemplate the meaning of their existence. More products of a disgusting institution...pumping out soulless sheep getting off on their own idiocy.

[VincentPrice111]

@songdiver You're all pretension, I never pay attention.

See what I did there? I thought so.

[SethHesio]

@VincentPrice111 fag off

[VincentPrice111]

@SethHesio You don't know me, you don't know where I've been, or how long I've been there.

[Subtropicx]

i miss u elliott

[90mariacruz]

coming up roses is an absolute beautiful song.

[yourdogsmusic]

aww....she's so into him. you can tell by her body language. she seems so nervous. haha. it's cute.

[JAYKAYAY91]

it's like two different persons, when he is being interviewed and when he sings.

[Zerrith]

@JAYKAYAY91 Yup, one is extremely sad and one is strangely.. Happy?

[breeeegs]

Sometimes its easier to express your emotions through music than it is through talking to Janeane Garofalo

[TheCHILDRENofTV]

high five Mr. smith...

[cauthoncrazy]

what program was this?

[eldantastico]

they would've made a good a couple

[plxplxkthx]

i was gunna post the same thing. he looked way more comfortable in this interview than in most

[QuistTV]

@plxplxkthx agreed!

[aficionado79]

I remember when this aired I taped it but unfortunately lost the tape. I also remember that he performed "Miss Misery" and it was placed at the end of the show when the credits rolled. I used to see him play all the time when he moved to LA and also saw him in person at various places in Los Angeles. I so regret not talking to him or even approaching him but he always had this intense cloud of privacy hanging over him that it made it seem wrong to disturb him if that makes any sense.

[tillyandthepoo]

Makes all the sense in the world. But if you did decide to enter that cloud, i'm almost certain he would have been so nice:)

[aficionado79]

Hey thanks. He probably would've been nice, who knows, maybe it was just me being intimidated by him being Elliott Smith.

[tillyandthepoo]

True, Ive seen 5 david dondero shows, and ive talked to him twice, slurring my words and being too quite. Its nerve racking when you meet someone you think is amazing.

[aaronmyers1982]

@aficionado79 It does. I used to play a lot of shows and people that I never knew would come up to me to say hi whenever they'd see me in random places. At first, it was really flattering. but then starts to bother you when it happens often, though you'll still be polite becasue you don't want to feel rude. After those expieriences anytime I'd see someone that I'd recognize, I'd initially want to say hi but was afraid to, cause I'd feel like I was bothering them too. I am so jealous of you tho

[ArthurStephenHicks]

@aficionado79 was the drugs

[SendInTheChickens]

@aficionado79 good for you for noticing it and acting accordingly.

[heyjude97]

@aficionado79 If I was there, I would have ran up to him and hugged him.

[dorkrockcorkrod]

And to think, there was a time where people had no idea how to pronounce Ben Affleck's last name...

[MrLevi812]

that sounds wonderful. it doesn't seem like so long ago does it?

[unclemeat2u]

it wasn't really. =)

[deathdayparty2]

@dorkrockcorkrod LOL, i wish they still didn't...can't stand him. he's a horrible actor.

[SethHesio]

@dorkrockcorkrod It's pronounced Cunt I believe... the Affleck is silent.

[sivvyx01]

love these two guys x
