Rick Astley - BBC Interview 3/4/09

[DaTux91]

He just had the best marketing advisor in the world. "I'm telling you mate, this rickrolling business is gonna get you a fuckload of exposure on the internet."

[desodus]

The dude is British and sings like a fucking god...

[TristanJacksonTV]

some of you guys are fucking fags because you call rick gay and a faggot for the rick roll game when he didnt even start it. it was some immature little kid that invented the game and yall blame rick! i dont like his music but still

[BanThisChannel]

I can't believe that this is his reaction to Rick Rolling people. This guy is a gangster and a gentleman.

[xXDottieLufsYewXx]

omg he isnt a ginger?!

[UnofficialHFReviews]

@xXDottieLufsYewXx No...

[MiniShneeba]

wow! i wasnt rick rolled

[scaryninja1693]

Michael Mcintyre lost some weight...

[madsmartapple]

WHAT HAPPEN TO HARE!

[charlieiscool1000]

LOL i never knew until recently that He was actually English from Lancashire thats cool.

[TheBananaman380]

every time i hear that little drum roll in the beggining i just start thinking DANGIT!

[ItsJustAshXD]

That's right rick keep tripping over your tongue

[jackdaman80]

Rick astley should be happy about the rick roll'd phenom. Its keeping him relevant and promoting him today!

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

Rick's got a really good English accent.

[MrOnlineGod]

@nostalgiamelancolia1 Rick is fucking english you faggot.

[ThatsHimJunior]

@MrOnlineGod Lmao!!! @nostalgiamelancolia must have pissed you off with that comment! LOL

[sallygirl2066]

@MrOnlineGod Hahahahaha @nostalgiancolia Wow ok he is really english.just letting you know.

[LegoDude2465]

@nostalgiamelancolia1 English accent? What accent? hes just speaking perfectly normal english...

[MF033D]

4 people got rick rolled.

[reece798able]

omg i remember seeing this interview :O

[texas9ish]

so she is going to put this on us, well then.

[lurch321]

Oh, crap, I just got Rick interview rolled!

[SuperUncleruckus]

such a legend

[gab4nuke]

I LOVE you Rick and Rick Rolling is shitty stupidity! This generation has no idea what a "joke" actual is... Find a "cheesier" pop star to mock. A man as talented as Rick? Used as a "lulz prank"? Epic failure.

[NekoYumii]

But if I've never gotten rick rolled in the first place, I would've never got to hear such a great song! :P so it was luck and very good luck, I love it!

[CentralXx]

Gentleman!

[seandeyoung01]

He is humble, so articulate, and I am a fan. He is a 80's icon.

[ThatguyNice]

DAMN! I came here to get Rick Roll'd.

[leonardo1480]

do you think Rick would make a good James Bond?

[six10teeen]

@leonardo1480 Better!

[leonardo1480]

@six10teeen True

[Pjor1cp]

@leonardo1480 TOTALLY

[ShoopdaoctapusXcat]

@leonardo1480 Ask M. Bison that.

[panther0567]

Wow, his youth certainly hasn't given him up or deserted him.

[scseancollins]

As much as his music is cheesy, he's actually one of the most honest down to earth people around who doesn't take himself to seriously.

[SPIDER]

@scseancollins

cheesy? back in the 80's that was the style..

[djmopa]

Such a great personality and so respectful. Rick Astley is awesome!

[elisole1971]

Excelente Rick Astley! Desde Chile... 20 años esperando que visitara mi pais, ufff, LO AMO...

[Furkan125]

Does Someone got the E-Mail of him?

Wanna rick roll him xD

[TheTruthfulAsshole]

I love the 80s regeneration.

[54gravi]

Happy Birthday Rick!

[Hotrodx199]

Other than wrinkles (we all get it) I can barely tell the difference between never give you up (1988 i believe) and now.

[tohruhonda91]

stop putting yourself down Rick youre awesome!!!

[1912jackdawson1912]

he looks EXACTLY THE SAME

O_O

[xtremetuberVII]

@1912jackdawson1912 If you have your eyes closed. He obviously aged ...

[Sweetbug74]

He got old. It's nice to know that I didn't. ;op I LOVED him when I was in jr. high.

[dvdfoo]

oooh...we want rick in porn...!!!!

[TheLastSliceOfPie]

didn't he die or something?

or should I say:

did he died?

[kabluwi]

@TheLastSliceOfPie Nope!!! Still going strong

[LukeRidd]

woo go britain

[heardcountybrave]

He looks like Mike Myers lol

[avrilrox1999]

i didnt expect him to sound like that.

[Jam07140]

how come he is not ginga? :O

[Treaty4]

He has aged beautifully. The man is true singer.

[hadephobiac]

he broke my heart when he said "its ridiculous" i truly believed he was the best act ever ;_;

[comelunch103]

LOOOOSER!! THIS GUY IS A WALKING DEAD!!!

[NathanFincher]

Wow he's so modest. I wonder if he gets Rick roll'd on a regular basis? I bet he's sick of his songs.

[Pete9789]

R.I.P Rick astley

[strong8action]

@Pete9789 nice try, but he's not dead yet. He's 44

[neilandbob05]

omfg AWESOME

[wightknight121]

i want to stay home from school just to watch this interview

[screaminguitars]

This guy misses the whole point of Rick Rolling. It's funny because the song sucks so bad.

[YESHUAISMERCIFUL]

@screaminguitars

you think his song sucks? why bother commenting then? his song rocks. better than the jayz crap now adays.

[screaminguitars]

@YESHUAISMERCIFUL the same reason you think my comment sucks. Calm down man, at least Rick was able to record a song good enough to be so popular, right?!

[Jimboman3000]

@YESHUAISMERCIFUL YEA BOI!

[HTHAMMACK1]

@screaminguitars

Oh, is that why the song went high on the charts and became so popular. Who the phuck are you kidding. Rick roll didn't happen until years after the song had come and gone, and that song was incredibly popular long before some idiot came up with Rick Roll.

Rick recorded much more than one song that went on to do well on the charts and in terms of popularity. Try educating yourself you ignorant fool.

[screaminguitars]

@HTHAMMACK1 Your definition of education leaves much to be desired. Following Rick Asshound around like a little school girl does not qualify as education. I, however, did study the music industry in college and I can tell you, This song is just another tool to get teenage girls money. The writing is generic and uncreative. This guy has no talent, and relied only on the sound engineers to make him sound halfway bearable. The only small amount of credit that's due, is to the record company.

[Alyssa0401]

@screaminguitars anyone has an opinion to say ......and btw i know him personaly, and i know whats he able to do and how ..and hes cool and hes music is awsome , from the 80 and now

[screaminguitars]

@HTHAMMACK1 ...and yes, dumbass I realize the song was recorded in the 80's. If you think this knowledge makes you some kind of super brain, maybe you should turn of the computer for a bit and try reading a book. lol

[abbyxoelyse]

@screaminguitars the song is brill, tbh.

[SirFancyBubbles]

Actually, I think he looks good, 20 years fater...

[Naypa11]

†R.I.P†

[smile4dakillcam1]

@Naypa11 why he die ???

[HotRockerMetal]

[455898334]

he looks so old

[smile4dakillcam1]

@455898334 bloody hell your mad he looks young

[lodziana666]

@455898334

For his age I think he looks pretty young... guy is 45, cut him some slack (:

[Snipermexi]

he should make a penny for every rick roll'ed video on the internet. He would make millions once again

[soldiergurl04]

[TheChevMaster]

[EvilGregProductions]

Why did Rick-Rolling grip the Americans? We are stupid, we like getting dim-witted and cheap laughs, and we like to annoy each other to the point of insanity. And damn do I love the mother-fuckin American way!

[sunshineyellow]

Wow, he's a pretty cool dude. Eh destroys pop charts in the 80s and doesn't afraid of anything.

[williamcod6]

[billkazb]

I'd like to cut off his hair and glue ginger hair to his head, he's a ginger in disguise

[soromoc]

hahha that is exactly what i was thinking.

[Freak2121GTAF]

I'm waiting for BBC to interview a duck.

If you know what I mean.

;)

[mrprozac]

@Freak2121GTAF

The duck reserves mainstream attention, but keeping it under the radar is better for us (the people who get you) :)

[TheSuperMarioFan10]

i didnt know he had a wife until now...

[louieisanan]

TALK ABOUT US YOUTUBE FANS!

[MrMatt2005]

Rick's a cool guy, Tasmin is a hot chick... bbc's sexiest talent

[tubelev]

wow, he takes this thing for what it is. pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

[Gravydigga]

how come he has black hair now? he used to have ginger hair did he dye it or something?

[TheSuperMarioFan10]

@Gravydigga its not black its dark brown

[RottSimba]

fianally,an interview thats not a rick roll.

[Pow1017]

Hashcr your a dumbass if you think that, people loved his music then and they love it even more now (in my opinion)

[ThePhunckyOne]

Reduced to touring the holiday camp circuit. Sad, sad man.

[badboykarlos]

damn i never thot he was a brit

[MyFreedomChannel]

Wow ... He seems to be a nice guy. :) Not bad looking either (in my opinion). :)

[dizzymabuk]

Did his hair get darker?..

he's still cool

[mrbola2]

aaaahhhh...finally i can get the real video about rick interview..not rick roll'd this time

[benZZZgomeZZZ]

weird, he has black hair now :P

[Attaxor93]

[milad2007halo3]

DON"T RICK ROLL ME Rick ASTLEY PLZ!!! STOP It my brains going to blow up!!!!!

[kyleclev1]

inmature fuck

[stormdcw]

You see its the stupid americans that do crazy crap like that! Damn you americans! Wait a minute.. IM American! D-OH!

[fazelife]

haha pretty funny. I mean he took the whole rick rolling thing pretty good. I mean i dont think his song is any worse than any other 80's pop song i mean thats pretty much how it was back then. But yea he's a cooler dude than i thought

[johnxlennonxfan]

He didn't age at all!

[PopShowRiot]

YOU HAVE BEEN RICKROLLED! ^.^

[WierdmanProductions]

ARE YOU SERIOUS thats rick astley

[hashcr]

man this is disastrous for a person, imagine how much of a loser he felt before the Rick-Rolling mania already, and then that meme appears, and he is even more remembered as a loser that he was already, at least he had that mysticism that former world pop stars have, but the he loses all respect for the best thing he ever pulled of. man, that though, i wouldve coped with it by distancing myeelf from music, and turning crazy , much in the stle of Joaquin Phoenix, n do very weird stunts n orgies.

[dizzymabuk]

hahaha!Are you joking?

He wasnt a loser,man!

He was the 80s pop icon!He practically still is!

That meme just counts as a comeback for him!

[aaron4820]

they should invite someone massively important to do a speech or maybe have a debating session between leaders of conflicting nations.. and when the world turns up with live broadcasting and journalists, rick walks on stage and sing that song live.

[steffen60]

if that happened...

i would lol

[xXLovelyDreamerXx]

I do hope he makes another album, eventually. :D

[Nevetsboy2]

Rick Astley is British???

[9429944]

BILL HICKS HELP US!!!!!

[CANBERRACOURTBOY]

its funny you should say that because bill hicks was actually a huge fan of rick astley

[Pure5Productz]

is it HIM!? XD

[justice138]

I wonder if he realizes that Rick Rolling started as a way to trick kids looking up porn.

[dizzymabuk]

who wants porn when you can watch rick dancing?

[Mattitude1991]

i wonder if he will change his name to rick roll

[GLASGOWBOY1990]

Wonder if he's ever been rick rolled.

[09RedRoses09]

LOL now that would be funny!!! I'd like to that myself

[TheTDICody]

Glasgowboy1990, he has been rick rolled, 2 people were outside of his house and changed the cable so that when he watched TV he would get rick rolled :P

[onthetableproduction]

1:00 - 1:02 CAUSE ITS SO ANNOYING!!!!!

[Ry42Back]

Rick was a joke in the SAW years really discovered himself with "Cry for help" and proved himself as a singer.

Why did he go back to this drivel Rick you are a fool .

[StormJB1]

Rick astley = Legend

[PoletBally]

Rick Astley.

That's it.

Everything else in the universe is irrelevant.

[grneyedsiren11]

@PoletBally thats the best statement EVER. =)

[0pontingm]

did i miss the tour :(

[21MISURI]

Rick Astley sigues siendo Ricooo!!!

[Boogietube]

I think he just keep being cute. e=)

[Clarkster21]

RICK ROLL

[annekarengirl]

Rick Astley the musical? Would be cool :D!

[MikeyWesty666]

"Chimurenga, is the word used to denote the terrorist war on Rhodesia" - Ian Smith.

[tygersflowerz]

He's right about that... the musicians that are popular today aren't "stars" like they were then. Half of them spend most of their time sampling '80s hits as opposed to taking time to write classics of their own.

[tygersflowerz]

p.s. I speak from first-hand memory. I remember the '80s vividly and remember when the likes of Prince, Michael Jackson, etc. ruled the world. Their music and talent spoke for itself, and that was the SOLE reason why they were famous. Celebrities these days... 75% or more of their headlines come the fact that their lives are a train wreck or that TMZ reported that they "went shopping today."

[KlayMan2007alt]

I hear that Rick's making a Broadway musical based on "Never Gonna Give You Up" (Not the RickRoll meme, the song itself.)

Not sure if want RickRoll: The Musical.

[GurreMan123]

WOHO RICK FTW!!!!!

[triune94]

Would be nice if he came to Hawai'i!

[0xlade1]

Rick is a legend.

[mikhailpreda]

Rick Astley is my president.

[MikeyWesty666]

Be that as it may, my good sir, but I think you will find that Chimurenga is the word used to denote the terrorist war on Rhodesia.

[Reed488]

Song by song...interview by interview...the legend of the astonishingly-humble singer (and now scriptwriter) Rick Astley grows.
