  • Fugazi ain't a hardcore band. Maybe post hardcore.

  • Guy is the master of unibrows

  • Comment removed

  • what a wanker. cant give him anymore than that. they suck balls musically. bunch of needle using ferrets

  • @terryowah There were actually all straight edge meaning they don't do any drugs. Guess jumping to conclusions based on appearances is a better way though huh?

  • @terryowah you're just a dickhead! i don't care if you don't like their music, but it doesn't suck. and why should they give him more information? they are making music, that's it.

  • @terryowah lawl at anyone who says Fugazi sucks at making music, too bad they are one of the most inspirational bands of all time.

  • One of my favorite bands, yet they tend to speak in a very condescending tone to everyone - including fans. I guess that's part of Fugazi's mystique...

  • @clovismcpony What else do you want? They were just friendly and honest. The interviewer wasn't Mr Inspiration was he?

  • @clovismcpony In 1988 I talked to Guy before the Lafayette Park show and he was as nice as could be to me, answered my questions about Rites of Spring since I barely knew of Fugazi still as they were so new and told me to have a great day when he had to get ready for their set. This interviewer was just lame.

  • Uni-brow. When did Bert become a member of Fugazi?

  • Awww, Ian's mom's is sweet :)

  • "I can't give you much more than that... I really can't."

  • Rich brats/momma's boys who think they're so fuckin' special that they need to tell other people what to do. Anybody listening to these fags for advice needs to go into the closet and hang themselves now. End of story. These clowns were all from rich families and had the whole world given to them. Teen angst and parental donations allowed them to have a life free of real work & real life tribulations. Go ahead and listen to these brats tell you what to do and how to live. You are all morons!

  • @captainblewhard .... wow get laid dude.

    

  • @misfit662145 Actually, kid, my sex life is great. The truth is that these brats were pissed off 'cause they couldn't get into The Bayou, 9:30 Club, or d.c. space 'cause they were little fair-faced punks so they decided to get pissed off at everybody who was in the clubs partying. Thus the "straight-edge" scene developed. Only geeks, dweebs, and nerds got carded at those clubs back in those days. Good for f'in them.

  • @captainblewhard It's your buissnes If you are poisoning your body.

  • @Solid1rock Totally agree with you, Solid1rock. The problem was that these "straight edgers" were going around & beating on people at shows because they were drinking or smoking & just generally exercising their human right of free choice. It's one thing to do your own thing. It's another to push your shit on someone else. At a Fear show in '03, one kid comes up to me & a friend and tells us to get lost(my friend was smoking a cigarette), but the overzealous dweeb thought it was a joint.

  • @Solid1rock ....cont. There were plenty of people smoking cigarettes outside the show, but he went after the person who didn't have his head shaved, wasn't dressed in all black, and rolled his own tobacco. He was in such a rush to push his straight edge agenda on us that he almost got the shit beat out of him. And what for? Because Ian MacKaye told him to? Because he was concerned about my friend's health or second hand smoke? NO! He did it to try & act the part he had seen others do.

  • Is this the same Ian MacKaye from the right >>>>>>>>>. related videos

  • yes fugazi can be seen as aggressive...., i think you can listen to 'aggressive' music without being an aggressive person. Point being, he has his mother side of stage listen to this set and she is 'supportive' of the way he expresses himself. All true musicians create music from life experience and all music lovers enjoy what they can relate too.

  • wait hold up, fugazi are nazi's? Didn't minor threat have a black artist in their band?

  • Camera driver is a wank*r!!

  • L-look at that unibrow...

  • I don't think this video was filmed in 1989, those people don't look that oldschool

  • @ov7spears DA FUCK?

  • Ian is really Elias Koteas from Some Kind of Wonderful.

  • gotta love Guy's unibrow!

  • Guy certainly be looking like Rollins in this interview: bald head and uni-brow. Just like when Rollins joined Black Flag.

  • This interviewer... oh gash

  • "This appartment building influences my music."

  • nice band i own their clothes har har har

  • a tight lipped couple of fugazi lads, not very forthcoming or giving about their music... well, i guess maybe they've gotten sick of it, or at least the interviews as such... i already thought their style and overall appearance was stripped down and generic seeming, but interviews as well? well, at least this one... they nailed at least a few songs down quite effectively in my opinion - immortalizing them in subculture music circles as far as i'm concerned, but they ain't no PIXIES! (unfair?)

  • @glorp896 They were giving the interviewer precisely the type of response he deserved.

  • @Druffmaul it smacked of standoffishness and arrogance... not very giving responses... hey, maybe they were both too tired... at least one admitted it... there is often a grandiose level of self-importance with rockers - ego boosts beyond their years because their words are SO IMPORTANT because they have attractive popular music to back their lyrics... people aren't so profound when the communication is both ways, which isNOT what any rock show is about - other than cheers from the crowd?

  • @Druffmaul the interviewer was really trying to find some depth of thought and understanding that may not be there... i doubt the office building across the way really informed the process of his art making music style or whatever... it was just a rude smart alec response... or artful creativity? i've had these moody emotional short lived discussions with "artists" before. i should know, i am one. when nonartists ask questions try to be joyful and giving, not demeaning toward misunderstanding

  • @glorp896 I'm starting to wonder if YOU are the interviewer in this video? Why else would you be sticking up for him and trying to make it sound like he's some earnest and sincere guy who is genuinely interested... when he's obviously not interested at all, he sounds bored out of his skull. I doubt he wanted to even be there, he was probably sent by the local paper and wished he was at home watching TV. Piss off.

  • @Druff no i wasn't but i hope the interviewer had as much depth of thought as i have given the lack of response, poor interviewer guy:( you think he was not genuine and interested? so what if he wasnt? - could have been going through the motions as a favor to a friend? i'm sure many interviewers are just doing their jobs and asking preassigned questions FROM ABOVE. piss off? well maybe fugazi should have been more direct in that regard and said that? TV is more important than Fugazi

  • @glorp896 "TV is more important than Fugazi": The stupidest thing I've read all week.

  • @airplanekids not at all, you should watch at least an hour a day...

  • @airplanekids but if you really want to be a KILL YOUR TELEVISION bumper sticker user i can help add fuel to your fire:

    jerry mander's 4 ARGUMENTS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF TV...

  • Ians mom likes minor threat more than fugazi

  • This proves my scienctific theory: even the nicest guys in the world can't help but turn into dicks when confronted by some head-up-his-ass douchebag who couldn't interview his way out of a wet paper bag.

  • When Guy shaved his head he should have done some work on those eyebrows.

  • hahaha wow. i wouldnt question ian after he said "i play music because its what i do." that is a valid answer :)

  • Ian has that "you're an idiot" face on lol

  • That got an ActuLOL when he turned round and went 'do you like my music mom? .. yes she does!' Ian MacKaye, what a legend.

  • ...i don't understand the last question of the cameraman...?

  • @yepthatsjoesoundsgoo cunt genies like you really grind my ass, I don't appreciate it. SO STFU and GTFO! Sit and spin fuckhead!

  • @Deango2

    You Nazi cunt.

  • That apartment inspires me.......

  • THIS IS NOT A (FUNNY) FUGAZI INTERVIEW

  • haha that guy looks goofy with the unibrow.

  • Fugazi transcend hardcore, they transcend music itself. People get angry when people are searching for something and get lost in attitude and self belief. These guys deserve their faults though, at least they arent sitting on their ass applying makeup and listening to godsmack.

  • That's a fucking massive unibrow.

  • This was at a time in music when all hardcore bands felt they HAD to act like douche bags to anyone interested in them. We were all so obsessed with the concept of "selling out" that it was deemed necessary. Always pissed me off as we were their fans that it put me off ever giving a shit about meeting any of them. Love their music but F them.

  • @flahkoh The irony of your comment was too intense for the common man.

  • anyone else think Guy Picciotto looks like a cross between Steve-O and Burt from Sesame Street ? (:

  • It is uncomfortable watching this video.

  • you never see guy and bert from sesame street in the same place at the same time...for a reason.

  • That's right - Fugazi are nazis because they had shaved heads in 1989. That's how you spot a nazi, you ask him or her for a picture of his or herself in 1989. Ian MacKaye is such a nazi that his hairline is receding from it. All bald men are nazis, by default. All women married to bald men are nazis, by association. Babies come from storks. If anyone has any more unsupportable statements you'd like backing up using only the flimsiest of observations, please don't hesitate to let me know.

  • @TenCityNation God is real cause the bible says.

  • @TenCityNation WAIT

    but Fugazi and Nazi both end in -azi! Didn't think about that did you??

  • @TenCityNation you know whats funny? aside from all your sarcasm, ian mackaye is kind of a nazi. he wants you to listen to his hitler speeches about whats right and whats wrong and how p.c. he is. well who fucking cares?! minor threat was great, fugazi fucking blows!

  • @maciverandy Calm down, dearie. If you don't like them, don't listen to them. Too easy for you?

  • @TenCityNation i don't listen to them. they are just too cool for interviews and their fans are too cool for critisism. BORING

  • @TenCityNation the world is flat and god created it in seven days.

  • @BbUiDgZ actually it was 6 days and 13 hours but the bible rounds up.

  • @TenCityNation

    in senseless conversations with retarded people here on youtube,there's always someone who ends up being the nazi...

  • @TenCityNation yah nazis are the fucking shit fugazi rocks!

  • @morgan2993 yeah nazis ARE fucking shit fugazi rocks

  • @WilloBoarding Fugazi would beat your ass

  • @morgan2993 Fugazi would stomp your nazi arse. Go shave a swastika onto your balls.

  • @WilloBoarding if i had that kind of testicle hair id be more of a man than anyone but fugazis neo nazi and im pretty sure me and fugazi teamed up would do the beating

  • @morgan2993 ur propbly not even serious, but if u are, ur beyond retarded.

    Fugazi aren't neo nazi, if you even suggested that to Ian MacKaye he would probably stomp ur head in, so u can forget about 'teaming up' hahaha. The original comment that u replied to that suggested Fugazi are nazis is so obviously being sarcastic, you missed the joke and being that stupid I wouldnt be surprised if you really are a neo nazi, in which case it would be best for everyone if you'd just kill youself.

  • @WilloBoarding kill yourself twice

  • Fugazi racist? Ian and Guy should nut punch the fool who said that. I have meet Ian MacKaye. My brother knows Ian MacKaye. If you have ever lived in DC you most likely have meet Ian Mackaye. He is a great guy who just likes to make music. In fact the most racist person i've meet in Dc is Whitey; a pro nazi black chick who drives a pick up (who is also a very nice person believe it or not). So before you say something about shit you dont know maybe you should shut the fuck up. His mom is great!

  • Ian MacKaye's mom passed away.

  • These guys are nazis

  • @CoolWhippedNegro no they are actually terrorists, nigger.

  • The comments about Guy snorting cocaine and Fugazi being racist are downright disgusting. Fugazi were all about respect and against drugs, what the hell is your problem?

  • IM VERY TIRED I CANT TELL YA DAT I NEED TOSIT DOWN LOL GO GET A JOB AND WE WILL TALK TIRED GO COUNT UR MONEY THEY WERE JUST THE REVERSE SCHTICK OH THE SEX PISTOLS

  • @chunk1bunk l thought everyone was racist and now its only fugazi who are racist? well knock me over with a shovel

  • @hchahim Not everybody is racist. Only those who are ignorant and filled with ego and hate are racist

  • @Boomoutgothelights that would be most non whites. no one ever talks about racist blacks or racist Chinese or racist anyone who isnt white.

  • @hchahim I don't care. Don't you understand that nobody is better than anybody else? As long as you're a human you can never compare yourself to another human.

  • @Boomoutgothelights Well, you CAN compare yourself to another human, you just shouldn't do it on things such as skin color or religion and shit like that.

  • @Boomoutgothelights lt all comes down to how one conducts oneself. Some people are much better than other people - you can see that in the way they live their lives. Everyone gets to choose how they live, their actions, everyone has freewill.

  • @hchahim No. As long as you've got some sort of supernatural power (which is obviously impossible), you're not better than anybody. Nobody's smarter than anybody else...One day in the future any "fact" we know, even scientific, will be updated and made better...therefore one can only be more informed on current matters,but there's no such thing as smarter. A rich man in USA is better than a starving child in Ethiopia, only by the standards of the fascist, greedy, imperialistic system of the USA.

  • @Boomoutgothelights According to you there is no good and bad - no better or worse.

    Everyone has the same potential however what we do with our potential is up to us. We all have free will and we all make our own decisions which we then have to live with. lf you dont have a value system then you have no means to judge what is better and what is worse.

  • @hchahim No that's not true..."According to you there is no good and bad..." That is not true and I don't know where you get these baseless claims from. I said no one person on Earth can say they are "better" than another person. You may say you have performed less "crimes" (depending on what your definition of a crime is...remember, this greedy, fascist capitalist system unjustly defines many things to be crimes), but you may never say you are better than somebody and not be ignorant.

  • Uber Unibrow.

  • wait... so if i go stand in front of that apartment building ill be inspired with musical geniousness? HOLY. FUCK.

  • lmfao. Guy looks like he just got done snorting a fat gagger.

  • why would anyone think they are racist? and the song guilty of being white was not about hating any other race it was was about being hated for things that the white race did in the past and that they have done nothing racist but are still hated because they're "guilty of being white"

    "I'm sorry

    For something I didn't do

    Lynched somebody

    But I don't know who

    You blame me for slavery

    A hundred years before I was born"

  • guilty of being white? wtf guys come on. he was against labels and classifications and so we all should be too. we could finally live in peace if people stopped grouping and judging others just because they were born or act different, and just empathize and understand. who gives a shit what you look like or what you think? thats you.

  • @N0SLAV3 i agree with you but i just also thought i should point out that ian mackaye started the straight edge label

  • @N0SLAV3 yer if youre white youre expected to go hide under a shrub - after youve handed all your money over to the redistribution board for the advancement of any minority that isnt white - and signed off on your confession professing mass guilt for being born at all

  • 0:48 ....cocaine much ?

  • well seeing as they are straight edge and anti drugs, i seriously doubt it. plus i think cocaine may make him talk a little more than 2 sentences

  • I don't know why many people say they are racist (they don't talk about it in this video).. However what is sure is that their music is about the destruction of the planet by the hands of man (this is my translation of what Guy says at the end of the video).. So i don't think they can be racist.

  • Fugazi are not/were not racist. Ian MacKaye is not/was not racist, nor was his first band Minor Threat. Okay? It's REALLY not even a discussion.

  • yeah i agree with the caribbean guy down below, but i mean i've seen plenty of stuff of ian mackaye being really pissed because people think he's racist, i mean minor threat was like bad brains little brother band, that enough should say they aren't racist but whatever

  • well whatever you think of this band no matter how good or shit...everyone deserves a decent question, not this dumb and dumber interviewer who sucks the sweat of a dead mans balls

  • honestly, these guys are dicks. they want to change the world through music but you can't even understand the fucking lyrics. fuck them. next time I see a fucker like these guys I am going be a true fucking punk and jump onstage and pop one of these motherfuckers!

  • @the2ndmills I thought you said poop on them, and I lold. I'm just going to keep pretending that's what you said.

  • hahahahahaha ians cute

  • They are both miserable and unkind. So many of the old punk rockers are so cynical and bitter. I realize you have daddy issues, but that's no reason to be a deuche to people.

  • @quikdon actually they are both really nice guys. they are just getting asked stupid questions by this guy. they also hate doing interviews except for fanzines. you clearly are clueless and stupid. Douche btw.

  • These guys are kind of clueless dicks in this clip.  Oh,you have no idea why you're playing music? Fuck off.

  • @BenjaminFrankenstein 'Fuck Off'? - your hatred is misplaced. The questions being asked are generic bile. They ain't worthy of a serious answer. It's like a stranger coming up to you on the street asking you details about your girlfriends pussy. Use your head next time.

  • Ians cool but keith is ass.

  • DC PPL... are very straight forward and have A great Sense of Humor!... I like that,.... Met Henry Rollins this year... Ian and Hank have almost the same Mannerisms... its uncanny!

  • leave them poor guys alone man let them play thats it

  • Ian MacKaye is one of the most inspirational people to have lived, at least in my life.

    Despite how alot of the time he sounds like an idiot lol

  • It's an office building, actually.

    Yes. It is.

    :]

  • i love the shot of Ian and his mom, so you can see how similar they look.

  • Very, very cringeworthy. Was the interviewer mentally retarded?

  • EVERYONES RACIST, SO NO ONES RACIST, SO GO FUCK YOURSELF

  • what a dumb fuck interviewer

  • haha :D You like my music mum? Yeah she does

  • fuck the people who are too stupid to understand guilty of being white, they suck. and so do racists

  • Everyone's racist. STFU

  • @windrix1 Or nobodys racist. its just the illusionary programming.

  • haha either they knew who the camera guy was,or they simply just didn't care about who he was...and this whole,"is fugazi racist?" is complete utter retardation,obviously somebody out there doesn't know how to read.and if its about the song "guilty of being white" by Minor Threat,well,the meaning of THAT song that ian is NOT like the white people generations before him who were racist and mongers,and he shouldn't accused of being one,just because he's white,thats all the song is about! reaaaad!!

  • handsome one iznt she? me likey melikey

  • Worst interviewer ever

  • that building must be like the greatest muse ever

  • This was fantastic to see! Thank you for sharing.

    I live in El Paso, Texas and they were one of the few bands that always stopped here on their tours. And they only charged $5 for the show!

    I have a lot of respect for them because of that. They chose to keep the price of their tickets afforadable so EVERYONE can enjoy, together.

    Down to earth musicians are the best!

    It's all about integrity.

  • lol that's great...fugazi has some awesome music :):)

  • haha that cameraman must've been so annoying

  • Guy Picciotto hahahaha fucking love that guy

  • its an office building...

  • mackeye seemed pisseddddddddddddddd for no reason but the seconed guy was funny umm this appartment building is sentimentle to me and influences my music lol

  • that interviewer is a stupid prick. it was nice of them to even entertain him for that long

  • Guy looks and acts like Bert from Sesame Street

  • @Haystackable You beat me to it.

  • Hahahah Cute Ian Asked His mom Thats Badass Hahaha :)

  • haha, you get a dumb questions.....expect dumb answers.

  • The interviewer sounds like he doesent know what he is talking about

  • omg MacKaye had hair!

  • great interview...that building is very "inspirational"!!

  • Straight edge 20-something werewolves. Seriously, never trust a man like Guy. Hey'll raid your kitchen for noodles while Ian sits back on the couch drinking Sprite while everyone else is having fun. AT LEAST THEY NEVER SOLD OUT.

  • @cdesade What the hell are you talking about?

  • @cdesade

    Ian drinks Pepsi not Sprite.

    Look at any live Minor Threat video. You'll see him with a big ass gallon of Pepsi.

  • 0:34 - 0:89 is somehow epic

  • I meant 0:34 - 0:39

  • lol, "and that apartment building influences my music"

  • I love Ian's mum

  • fucked up get ambushed zipped up

  • asshole it's make FUGAZU!

    It's Zipped in, dumbshit!!

  • what's the story with fugazi being accused of being racist, like what did they supposedly do?

  • It probably has to do with ian writing Guilty of Being White and the fact he shaves his head. However the accusations are bullshit.

  • Fugazi is not racist at all. Listen to the music.

  • I said the accusations were bullshit. I did not say they were racist. I was just answering the question why some people think they were racist.

  • you've been getting info from a troll, obviously.

  • Sounds like the cameraman was a schmuck and was harassing them, and they didn't want to be dicks so they played along, but you can tell they're tired and don't want to deal with his shit.

  • ahahaha guy is so qt

  • I love how guy will only give like name and serial number as if he'd been taken hostage by an enemy army.

  • AWKWARD

    EINBROW

  • Comment removed

  • cocaine

  • mein Gott, was geile Zeiten

    unbelievable & crazy

  • FUGAZI el Capastronee!

  • haha it seems as if an interview were the last thing guy and ian wanted to do that day. i've met them both and they're actually quite nice, genuine and patient human beings. however, I did meet them post fugazi, and this was back when they still had their youthful fire if you will, i guess. it's pretty funny either way, though

  • I spoke with Ian on one occasion at Gilman St, I'd guess around 88 or 89 and I'd have to say that he was one of the nicest and most genuine people I have met to this day.

  • excellence.

  • That being said, exhausted and having this knob with a camera buzzing around would try anyone's patience.

  • i think of him as prob. a genius.

  • Ginger MacKaye RIP

  • "This Apartment Building influences my music..."

    "That's a Office Building, brother."

  • They sound like a bunch of wankers who are 'too cooooolll'' to be bothered with a guy just trying to ''just his thing''.

  • I agree
