JB is the type of guy who respected people who are at the top of their respective profession. Nard is a top tier interviewer who always does his research. I have a feeling JB liked and respected that.
For real. You can really tell JB is invested in conversing with Nard. Tje way he talks is full of passion because Nard asks the good questions and brought the best out of JB good interview.
@@Bankallday pfft. He is a fucking pain in the ass. A dumb pain in the ass. But not so dumb not to know when his pathetic shtick will end up with him getting his dumbass kicked to hell and back. 😃😃😃😃🤔☑️
I don’t think it was as detrimental to radio stations as it was album sales. People were starting to get sick of paying 20-25$ bucks a cd. What a rip off! Adjusted for inflation that has to be around 30 bucks a pop for one tiny piece of plastic
Yeah man, I tell ya what, man. That dang ol' internet, man. You just go on there and point and click. Talk about W-W-dot-W-com. An' lotsa nekkid chicks on there, man. Click Click Click Click Click. It's real easy, man.

Nardwuar, I'm hoping from the bottom of my soul you have a Michael Jackson interview hidden away in your interviews vault that you're willing to upload soon.
James Brown is a wonderful man. I was scheduled to fly out of Augusta, GA to my duty station in Korea in 1999. It snowed that morning for the first time in many years that morning and caused my flight to be delayed and later cancelled. While waiting to see what was going to happen with my flight a gentleman with a gorgeous woman on his arm strolled in, it was James Brown. I approached him to just see if it was him and he noticed me and spoke. When he found out I was a soldier he asked me to sit and we talked as 2 normal people for almost an hour. Meant the world to me!
This shows how good of an interviewer Nardwuar is. He's nervous, you notice, and so would I be. But he's still so composed and honorful. Can't believe I've never seen this one, thought I had seen them all.
Nardwuar goofy personality always brings the true self of celebrities,cause nobody feels threathened by such good hearthed guy so they can just be themselves in front of the camera,that's something no other interviewer can do
James Brown actually seems like a down to earth guy, my grandmother met him at an airport once and sat with him and his wife while they were waiting for luggage
Also it's a re-upload. I've been following / watching Nardwuar for almost 20 years lol. I'm sure I'm not the only who's seen this interview like 3 or 4 times, it was on Much Music (Canadian music channel) a couple times and he's uploaded this before. So it's understandable, plus a lot of the new generation don't really get James Browns soul music or even recognize him.
+TheCr3w the only comment that speaks the truth. this video has been uploaded before. If anything im curious on to why he re uploaded. great work from nardward.
“What do you think of sweat Mr. Brown?” Totally caught JB off guard and got him to smile. Two legends in their own right. This is a piece of history we are witnessing.
Man, I gotta say those vocals are awesome from the ladies James played counterpoint against. I love it. Dont stop what you're doing. This world needs more of the pure and honestly delivered forms of art like those who wrote the book to begin with.
@ObsidianBuddah Michael Jackson WAS discovered...Joe Jackson managed his children since birth, you're correct, but the children he was managing didn't include Michael until he was discovered by Bobby Taylor and then Diana Ross in the latter half of the 60s; Michael wasn't originally part of the group, James Brown was Michael's biggest influence.
The more I watch you Nardwuar, the more I see how intelligent you are. Not just the research and passion, but you've got those extra memorable things like your name and outfit, signature gifts and final pose. Love you man.
I hope the messy mugshot, late version of james brown gets forgotten and this version of him is what more people remember. Guy was sharp as a tack and knew his stuff. Pure talent and skill musically, easily top 5 musical artists. Amazing.
Im just waiting for the Mozart interview any day now
Shit, I just commented the exact same joke and I look like a scrape now
waiting for Frédéric Chopin
Lmfao.
I know he got Jesus interview coming soon too
ARMOROLSOUL Wait, if he did Lucy the Australopithecus too....🤔😂
HE HAD THIS HIDDEN FOR 17 YEARS??
ikr...I'm like whaaaa
+tehjamez he may have a Michael Jackson one
it was actually re-uploaded
+MNIMnoob ah ok thanks for the knowledge, he could upload it earlier tho like he did on the Kurt Cobain interview
+MNIMnoob Yup, it was for MuchMusic.
Is anyone else just discovering this?
yea randomly recommended
Yup. Asshole TH-cam at it again
He has a 2pac interview for sure
Mhm
Just popped up on my feed.....I wonder how things like this float up to the top
i’m a couple years late but TH-cam algorithm threw me the oop
Honest A**hole fax’s
Same. Had no clue this interview existed and I’ve seen a lot of Nards stuff
Ditto, it makes you wonder what other awesome interviews he has in the can. I have both of the DVDs but have never seen this one.
How old is this men lol
Honest A**hole same wtf
I couldn't even imagine being in the presence of James brown
I wouldn't even be able to talk.
Yeah, James Brown was a cold dude. Gotta respect him but he can come off as bristle because he demands respect
he's just a human who returned to the earth and all of us will to in 100 years
Right? Who would want to be around that egotistical dickhead..
I met him once but I didn’t know how big of a deal it was..
Nardwuar vs Tupac coming soon.
LEL
Darnell Jackson I would lose my shit if he actually did that. Already crazy he did James Brown.
Your a fool 😂😂😂
Oh my fucking God I would cream my pants

I don't think it's possible to hate Nardwuar. You either like him or fear him. But I don't think I've ever seen anyone hate him.
It’s funny how Nardwuar plays down his character for James.
This was in 1999 bro, he’s being himself

Rare fact: James Brown was the first to discover Nardwuar
OMG he played try me for nard. That is such a blessing.
Lichtrally
Cause he liked it
Facts
Nardwuar got a personal concert from James Brown. Let that sink in.
Actually it's precisely what he deserved. Best interviewer ever gets the hardest working man in show business. Game 👀 Game
i was waiting for "who are you" in the beginning but thats James Brown so thats understandable
Lol Nardwuar would have caught a classic James Brown beatdown
He didn't do that back then
I know its Nardwuar and everything but I'm still a little amazed he had the balls to run the "Doo doodle doo doo" on James Brown!
Blacklava TWICE! Lol
Kinda bummed he didn’t Cooperate ☹️
@Johnny Vex he got it from the ladies so he kinda did lol. However, it was weak as tap water🤣 hail Satan
@@thenewdali1 this was Nardwuar's favorite doot doola doo he ever got
@A S Brown is more legendary than any Canadian PM, or just Canadian lol.
Crazy how in 1999 james brown recognized that the internet was going to destroy radio stations

No such person existed. Good joke though
Zarathustra*
The Nard-Dog wouldn't DARE do the "who are you?" to James Brown ahaha
He didn't really do that back then. He did it to jay z snoop and everyone else in the modern ones.
Green Light Music he knew how easily his mood would swing. There’s a lot of stories you’ve gotta check out.
@@derfgerps4016 I'm actually surprised how behaved Brown remained
@@BuuhBlocks the one with jay z was lol, the guy started a sermon to a simple question like who are you
"What do you think of Sweat, Mr. Brown?"
Asking James brown this question is honestly the funniest thing ever and he loved it
Nardwuar, I'm hoping from the bottom of my soul you have a Michael Jackson interview hidden away in your interviews vault that you're willing to upload soon.
FlareTheUncalled777 I would be shocked if he did ... I get the feeling nobody even got close to Michael without permission.
Number1SoundSystem true. Even his family couldn't see Michael without an appointment.
FlareTheUncalled777 I Will Lose My Shit
Somebody would've said something about it. I don't think he got the chance.
wait for michael jackson to die

This man even had Mr. Brown (James Brown) saying " how did you know that?" Nardi is the interview goat!
Nardwuar can die happy he's interviewed that many legends.
He is a legend
"you're a funny cat"
Hearing James Brown sing “Try Me” always makes me nostalgic for a time in which I never existed but desperately wish I did.

the closeups are superb
No lie this looks like a pbs interview
Corey William Kessler I freakin died when I saw this comment 😂😂😂👍🏼
Something that can be spotted now as any hack can produce and post content.
well Nardwuar was working for a TV channel when this was filmed, hence the "MuchMusic" microphone!!
Best version of 'Try Me'. This video is a 💎
i agree. just discovered this very rare interview
Nope, At the Apollo 1963
"I dont care about the audio we Video anyway" Dude was like 50 years ahead of his time in his late age
lil yachty interview was uploaded after this and already has 5 times the views smh
