  • i love him

  • All he wants is for people to say thanks and then leave him alone. For all those who do interviews with Bob - do your homework before you interview him and if you don't just call in sick.

  • not sure if hes genius or an idiot...

    maybe he was the first and just didnt appreciate pretentious shit...

    i wonder if he appreciates the many people that sort of worship him...

  • Its funny, one would say that he's acting irrationally or rudely, but he is simply reacting the way a good, humble human being would, and should. I have so much respect for Bob Dylan because he cared about nothing but to get his best music out and to play it for those who wanted to listen. A great man indeed.

  • 2:37 to 3:22 ewwwwwww his nails AUUUUUGH!

  • @LNLN123 he has to keep his nails long for finger picking the guitar.

  • it's allright Ma, I'm only sighing....(sigh)

    

  • @dmobes47 what would you of said?

  • @heldinahtmlhell what i was referring to was his taking the press and interviewers too seriously and being argumentative as to what they thought of his being the "voice" of the generation.i wasn't referring to his taking the music that seriously. in watching other artists being interviewed, when stupid questions are asked, they usually shrug it off and make it clear they just wanna move along with the interview. he probably wasn't too far off with the "song and dance man" comment.

  • @tomcaat1 "It's only peoples' games that you got to dodge."

    "A poem is a naked person."

    "A song is a poem that can't walk by itself."

    -- bobby d.

  • @tomcaat1 From most of the videos I've seen he does the very opposite of taking it too seriously, he laughs things off and makes jokes. In the one video here, he was in 1966 on the verge of a breakdown with drugs, fame etc, which is why he was wired.

  • what if people we're always asking indepth questions about you and your personality....you be "what?"....ummm can i think about that....or just go and get something to eat without analyzing my entire life

  • Dylan doesn't have an attitude...the other guy does

  • someone please tell me what song he's singing around 1:15

  • @AdSchmuki It's alright ma (I'm only bleeding)

  • I would've loved to interview Dylan. These guys can't get anything out of him, I woulda torn him apart. He probably would've walked out on me, but not before I got some wild quotes out of him.

  • @dmobes47 ok

  • Does anyone know if and where the full song of this video's version of It's Alright Ma exists? It sounds different from the live versions I've been able to find.

  • @singingswann Probably on the No Direction Home DVD.

  • Music is really nice to listen, and to make, you kinda free yourself with it. it's art. Now there's nothing more stupid then people constantly coming up to you and asking: "What do you mean by this? and by this?" also, music genres can be quite disturbing. Some songs don't have to be listed as Rock and roll, Folk or whatever, most of the time its just music, sure it is nice to have an indication before you listen to it, but remember: an indication is all it is.

  • it seemed to bother him quite a bit, the image some people had and made of him. he did get pretty argumentative when he might have shrugged it off. he was young, and the mistake he made was taking it all too seriously i think. c'mon bob, the beatles didn't sing about the times changing, etc. he is and was a great artist, and yeah if he's a prophet to you, so be it. we tend to forget he was just a young man that wrote that stuff, and perhaps his views were well intentioned but naive. ^..^

  • @tomcaat1 HE took it too seriously? I think he was the only one who didn't, that's what pissed him off.. Seriously. The baying press, the booing fans, the phoney folkies and the grovelling government handing out awards in the hope of favour etc etc. Dylan's always said 'it's just fucking music' (I'm paraphrasing).

  • I LOVE YOU BOB DYLAN

  • I LOVE YOU

  • it's alright ma . . .

  • the name of the song at 3:20 please?

  • @plumauvan "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"

  • 6:03 .....maybe that's where they got the idea for forrest gump ;)

  • Comment removed

  • by the way, the media is all about "stupid questions". the public in general is why alot of these interviewers ask the dumb questions, the public wants to know. for that, we're really to blame. for the most part, if you see a "good" interviewer, you might eventually notice that they just know how to ask the "dumb questions" more inteligently> hehe

  • i don't know, all i can say is i'd have hated to be an interviewer back then, haha. but its true , they were trying to pin something on the guy, and for that i could understand his frustration. i don't know for sure, but i doubt bob was turning down the money, he should'a realized it came with the territory, especially signing some kid's autograph. bob made the mistake of arguing with the media all the time, instead of just making the best out of it, or NO comment.

  • What is the point to all of the baggage claim journalists asking him lame questions?!

  • everyone during that time seemed like they were mentally retarded. and Bob Dylan was the only intelligent one XD

  • @evilfinchman Absolutely true! There you see the situation we were living in, in those days, the media point of view, the establishment, staus quo... That's what the consciousness revolution was all about and Dylan was a major player, maybe THE major player, doing his part magnificently.

  • what preformance is this? i know the song but i cant find the preformance :c

  • Omg I fucking love this guy.

  • whats the song at 6:09?

  • @ronen4you It's Alright Ma (I'm only bleeding)

  • I always liked his music from the first day i heard him in 1965 ( I bought highway 61 revisited ) then bought all of his LP's back from that .I thought he was a great writer and singer .But after hearing this interview I like him even better even better !!!!! He really did what everyone should do with these journalist ,tell them to piss off!! we like his music because we like it ,and their interpretation or opinion is worthless to us . Thanks Bob !!! good for you !! keep up great work . Bob M

  • Changing his name from Zimmerman to Dylan... a slick showbiz move. This guy is a con man to a bunch of hoodwinked followers. We still have the same problems and we still get the same smoke and mirrors. Dylan was just another diversion on the road to slavery.

  • @bloozintro fuck all that i don't care about his name he's a poet and a musician. Art is no smoke and mirrors, you get what you see/hear. If someone wants to imitate him that's his problem. Dylan was never some kind of political leader so the problems people and society have now and had back then are not his. He's just doing his thing and that's what he tried to explain so hard to the media.

  • @bloozintro trite

  • Comment removed

  • ha, you can deny all you want bob, but we all know you are a prophet, you can deny it, you can turn your back on it, and it may even be news to you, but you are a God channeled prophet, and to answer your question on "to who you lead in your youth" ME

  • @poeticreject thats the type of shit he doesn't like...

  • @Tripooch

    I know...can't help it

  • @poeticreject Bob Dylan is a person you do not know. He is an image, a blank slate. You see reflected back to you your projections onto him.

  • Comment removed

  • cool, wish there were more TV appearances by bob.

    does anybody have the 1986 interview he did for Australian TV with George Negus?

    it used to be on you tube but its not anymore.

    cant find it anywhere man

  • He's not a whiny douche or an introvert it's just he didn't like answering stupid questions like "where does your music come from?" or "Do you care what you sing about?" What the fuck do you mean by "Do you care what you sing about." Of course he cares that's why he wrote it and performing it.

  • this is whyy i love bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Good video - you can see what he means about these idiots and their questions.

  • Why is he always such a whiny douche?

  • @bleunt Why are you?

  • @GeoffWilde Because I don't have millions of dollars. What's his excuse?

  • @bleunt He doesn't need an excuse. He can do whatever he likes.

    I don't see how he's whiny in this video, i think your jealouse.

  • @bleunt He didn't want to be labeled, whats wrong with that? I get called emo, yet i listen to Bob Dylan, does that make me whiny? Cause i deny being emo?

  • @GeoffWilde Then I wonder why he did everything in his power to be labeled a douche. No one forced him to have press conferences and interviews. He chose to do them, just so he could be a douche.

  • @bleunt Not always, this is just him responding to public questions - most of them banal. Listen to his music and words - I was blown away by the poetry in those clips of him, just a young 23 year old singing with a guitar, jesus, the imagery is astounding. Absolutely fucking astounding. It's tripping off his tongue. People study the words at Oxford and they get fucked to it smoking weed......it's artistic genius.

    So yeah, we can let him off being a cock in most interviews I reckon.

  • @THthefirst Well, Hitler was a good painter. So I guess we cut him a little slack. Just a little.

  • @bleunt Hitler was a shit painter! Ever seen his work?

    Anyway, I don't get whatever convoluted point you're trying to make.

    Dylan was like Hitler? Urh?

  • @THthefirst Hitler was a talanted painter! I'm sorry that you don't get my point. Must be tough for you.

  • @bleunt Hitler was indeed a shit painter, he was rejected to art school more than once. In addition, Hitler was responsible for genocide, hatred, and human suffering. Bob however has left a positive mark on the world through his beautiful music.

  • @Nicole7801 Umm... OK? How's being random working out for you?

  • @bleunt Did Dylan kill 6 million? No, so your tortured metaphor in trying to compare him with Hitler is entirely pointless.

  • @THthefirst I guess that's OK since people seem to let Chris Brown off with beating women.

  • Bob only likes people from a distance ... he is an intravert

  • It's funny how Bob is contentious with every reporter from overly aggressive to passive aggressive.

  • Was this footage from "Don't Look Back"?

  • wait ... can anyone tell me ... ??? Is this some story about Dylan ... and if it is .. can i download it somewhere .. or what ... ???! plz tell me !!!

  • @nikolawesthemkg this is from "no direction home" by martin scorsese

  • @budbluhm thx mate ...

  • somebody please whats the first song he plays?! thanks

  • @fossilbox1991 it's alright ma (i'm only bleeding)

  • @hobbsmusic thanks!

  • I think he's just tired of the press, but most importantly; always drunk

  • you cant just tell the truth and say yeah i'm a genius. lol. that would be vulgar.

  • I like how it says that the two people that disliked this were interviewers! (sour grapes)

  • he's such a genius. only a true ifiot would be stupid enough to get into an argument with him. it's impossible to win. he owns everyone.

  • Comment removed

  • Dylan is just a genius artist, I think he's sick of all the press watching him and judge him all the time. He looks so tired when the woman interviewed him. He's tired of all that bullshit that he was the leader of the youth in the sixties. Fame is a hard thing to deal with, even Dylan is not immune for that.

  • I think it's so funny how he flipped the script and asked the inteviewers questions..ha brilliant! He definately didn't have a problem reaching the next generation or the next or the next!!! and it's true life just happens..

  • fckng amazing

    

  • what documentary is this from, dont look back?

  • @lumpyloks dont look back is the 65 european tour. I believe theses are just diffeent interviews form the 80s

  • Man all the stupid fucking questions people ask, fucking pisses me off so bad

  • @RGFoster1 cool. i just started listening to this guy, know any other good songs?

  • @ScienceOverMind Tangled up In Blue, subterrainian homesick blues are good

  • @scienceovermind its called "It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" from the amazing album "Bringing It All Back Home".

  • @SoulsLikeTheWheels THANKS.

    

  • @ScienceOverMind The greatest song ever written

  • Comment removed

  • ....i think he was signalling his manager to come rescue him when he put the rolled up paper up to his ear....really interesting. I feel bad for him, having to deal with the masses... all these cool, interesting creative people end up a little bit like jesus, having to deal with multitudes of fans and a public persona that isn't really 'them'

  • You can tell he was sad. So he showed it by being hostile. Poor Bob :( Such an awesome man.

  • Wanker, pure and simple. Never understood the hype surrounding this undeserving, ungrateful knob.

  • @AsaZolle I challenge you to write an analytical essay to the song "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" and then make the same assessment. Few people strive to be impolite or rude to others, let alone people of compassion like singer-songwriting poets. I imagine you're this hostile because a) you haven't bothered to dedicate the proper time or consideration to the man's work or b) you don't have the mental fortitude, imagination or reciprocal compassion to appreciate it. That's the real drag.

  • @AlowiciousG Wow! You make such assumptions about me. Not even Dylan would have been so bold as to base his opinion of somebody on 13 words. Good luck to you my friend.

  • Legendary

  • Bob gives really quick straight forward answers.. not a bad thing..

    He is the exact opposite of Noel Gallagher who gives his opinion in thorough detail about everything..

  • his singing voice is hauntingly beautiful and sucks you in to the song and forces you to figure out what he means

  • If anyone knows a link to the performance of It's Alright Ma at 01:00, please share! That particular version sound so brilliant

  • YOu can find it easily on google video if you right "it's alright ma i'm only bleeding" It shoud be on Timash.com

  • He cant even talk about himself or answer a simple question. Why is he so annoyed with everyone?.

  • never did think of him as a spkesman for a generation. maybe spokesman for some netherworld maybe, esp. prior to 1967

  • Is this clips from No Direction Home?

  • Theres only one thing to say about Dylan: He gets it.

  • Just some dude who writes genius music, and he probably just wished these asshole reporters would have a real-ass conversation with him human to human.

  • Dylan's just an observer...all he ever was, watched and recorded his interpretation of what he saw. He wasn't protesting anything.

  • I bet two journalists were the ones to dislike this

  • love how he stright out tell reporters he dosnt understand their stupid questions i mean if he were to give that information to the reporter, in any way how would that be beneficial to his life or anyone elses?! seriously juust wasting breath..

  • 2:36 what sort of question is this woman asking... 2:42 oh wait, it's a man... O.o

  • i love it too. the interviews are made at landvetter in gothenburg, Sweden. and not all swedish reporters are as stupid as that. But they created classic dylan quotes. like.. is there a difference between you now and the sixties? Bob.. u know.. It's all love for Bobby

  • I find it hard to square the Bob Dylan I see in these interviews with the Bob Dylan who purportedly wrote The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.

    It's like he's embarrassed by his sentiments.

  • I hate asking but does anyone know the name of the first song @ 0:34 , i think that he's in the newport folk festival.

  • @thenintendo64nerd It's called It's alright Ma (I'm only bleeding)

  • @Nero111417 thanks man, now i have to get the album it's in

  • @thenintendo64nerd It's off Bringing It All Back Home

  • It's Alright Ma is the greatest song ever written

  • the interviewers ask him such stupid questions

  • I'm italian and I didn't understand all perfectly, but one thing is sure for me: HE is anything that we expect he could be... And it's rare, especially today...

    (I hope you could understand what I wrote..xD)

  • @LiberalBuster Calm down, it's music. You probably disagree. Whatever. Go be creepy and obsessive to the point of insufferable annoyance about it elsewhere; not where fans of his are watching. Sorry if you think you're better. Sorry that your OPINION is that Bob Dylan "can't sing and can't write". My opinion is that he most certainly CAN sing, and he sure as hell CAN write. I think it's lovely. You think it's crap. Get over it and figure out music before you hurt yourself.

  • @LiberalBuster I'm trying to decide if you are ten years old, or a disaffected, basement-dwelling, unemployed roofer, or you're just jealous that he got to bed Raquel Welch.

    If Dylan took political positions, I would understand your rants, but he doesn't. He got some bad press when he did Live Aid in Africa and finished up by wondering aloud if some of the money raised for Africa that week could be channeled to American farmers. That started Farm Aid. That is the extent of his politics.

  • Bob Dylan has worked hard to just live a life without identifying with any particular cause. He clearly just wants to sing and enjoy his family and live as normal a life as possible. Yet, he is constantly considered prophetic and he always challenges this assumption. The only thing I have heard him stick with is that he does seem to have a deeply felt religious conviction. Some of the youtube comments can get so disturbed that it gives me a good idea of the creepiness he has to tolerate.

  • @LiberalBuster So, he can't sing and he can't write, those are your claims. Wheres your evidence? Can you write better then he can, can you sing better then he can? Can you convey your emotions and demeanor through song? What would your example of talent be?

    Yes, I kiss my mother with those profanity filled lips. Because she's civil, logical enough to realize they're just words. Fuck, shit. They're words and they have a purpose and a place, i'm sorry if i bruised your delicate ears.

  • @MSgtGRiM Why bother lurking around Bob Dylan you tube videos if you have such disdain for him? It seems obsessive and weird. Does he represent liberals to you? He takes no political stance and stood up Obama for dinner. Is it his religion? He is a Reform Jew, which means he believes in the teachings of Christ. He's been clear about that for years. Is it is his Jewishness that bothers you? Did you have a girlfriend who was a Dylan fan who dumped you? It seems personal with you. Spooky, really.

  • @nestorian9 You replied to the wrong guy :/

  • @LiberalBuster Fuck off, you've contributed nothing but a grain of salt to society, compared to Bob Dylan.

  • What's not to love about Bob Dylan?

    <3

  • His attitude just shows his supreme genius back then. Like a mathematician who tells you how easy high math is, and why are you making such a fuss over it.

  • He's troll'd every interview he's ever had.What a badass.

  • You've got to love the way he always turns it round on the press for asking stupid, boring, pointless questions and exposing them for what they are fakes, dummies and puppets, just a line of clones with no intelligence or understanding. He probably hears the same questions over and over and when the press twist your words or try to play mind games then Bob is just playing them at their own game and destroying them! There not even on the same level as him in intelligence or wit! Fools

  • You just gotta love him...if you don't, you're very closed-minded & are dearly missing out on a whole lot!

  • is the audio out of sync for everyone else?

  • I'm 800 years old. I've seen everything.

  • Great compilation... Like!!

  • Hi i'm 15 and I just love to make myself look good and post my age on music that is TIMELESS. Please give me thumbs up because i'm a big attention whore. Thanks guys!!!!Oh and also thumbs up please!!!!

  • hes my favorite ever :)

  • his voice has a natural melody

    i love him.

    yes, im a 14 year old girl, in 2011.

    and bob dylan is my favorite singer.

  • @vpevickytori Wonderful to know he is still making an impact on the new generation - I'm a 16 year old guy and have been listening to Bob since I can remember

  • @vpevickytori WHO CARES HOW OLD YOU ARE

  • @vpevickytori

    thank you so much for not being a bieber bitch!

  • @NicholasDriessen haha fuck beiber. i like real music.

  • The best part-"-Do you care about what you sing?" "-How can I answer that if you got a nerve to ask me?" ;D

  • Does anyone know where I can see the full interview that's shown at 4:09?? Please and thanks

  • @JULIAtalk that footage is from the film "dont look back"

  • just realized he has long finer nails here? why?

  • @90mloda Makes guitar picking easier.

  • I don't think I've seen someone so filled with sorrow as I have at 6:00. I don't know if it was a personal issue at the time, or a reflection on the past, or what, but that there was pretty raw

  • bob dylans bigget problem is that he wasn't ever ment to have a camera in his face outsida a concert cuz he couldn't handle it

  • bob dylan=hard as fuck

  • The 2 people that disliked this were interviewers

  • its funny how this video is about how dylan doesnt want the publicity and yet thats exactly what the video is giving him

  • @theshingles100 He could've easily talked about any other thing - the state of his breakfast toast perhaps. The interview was going to happen anyway, so might as well be honest. Your dumb comment reminds me of the ppl that are like "dude rage against the machine, are way off cuz they're part of the machine Maaaaaan." So then they might as well not say what they wanna? Like a rollin' bone!!

  • @hoopydu i'm not trying to put down bob dylan i'm a huge fan i'm just sayin it's ironic how the media is basically exploiting his dislike for the media

  • @theshingles100 He never said he didn't want publicity, he just didn't like being asked questions. He just wanted to play music, besides that he said he didn't care what happened

  • @theshingles100 i think its his songs he doesnt want publicized, you will find theyre difficult to find on youtube.... I reckon would like the fact this video of him shutting down idiots is being publicized.

  • Suprised VEVO has not deleted this for its "Audio Track"

  • Bad ass video man love it. Bob didn't give a rats ass about what people thought of him. The man is epic the man is an icon.

  • bob dylan hated interviews

  • Great interviews, and until I post this comment one single asshole disliked this video!

  • LEGEND

  • "i know him, he's you'res..." that's the phrase that made dylan want to never lead social movments.

  • Dylan is amazing... it's sad how the reporter's don't even try to understand him

    all they do is just bombard him with questions. not to mention they distorted his statements (fact).

    They should be luck he gave them the time of day.

  • wow, bob dylan is a real douchebag!!!
