Why I Walked Out Of An Interview.

- As I may have alluded to before, doing press and interviews isn't usually the bit about being a musician or creative that anyone enjoys. This is not to say that there are not some incredible journalists and writers out there, but there are also a lot of unpleasant ones. Let's see if these artists were right to walk out on these interviews - you tell me in the comments which ones were!

I've become a fan of Justin Hawkins the human person despite not being too familiar with Justin Hawkins the rock performer. I enjoy the musings and observations and the charisma in general - so, thank you for your continued uploads!
Me too, I never liked him or the band. Now he's older, I love to watch his videos.
Likewise! I was shocked to find out he was the singer for the darkness. I only know that one song but he looks completely different to me.. very cool insightful gent
Why do you think he would want to know you can't be bothered to press "play" on his music?
@@ben393You really missed out dude, they are great in all eras.
Same never heard his band but love the channel
Always a pleasure to listen to Justin's musings. An intelligent man with a real sense of humour. Hope your channel continues to thrive.
More like a man who's really insecure about being know as
"the guy from that band that did a funny song years ago"
So that he constantly trys to show how clever and musically talented he is
And those legs 😏
he certainly is
We love Justin Hawkins.
@@jonjonesongasstationdickpi6179 What the hell are talking about. Sounds like you are projecting about your tiny penis size. Your name is quite telling. Justin Hawkins has more class and intelligence than you, internet troll. We LOVE JUSTIN HAWKINS. Goodbyyyyyyyye.
Justin is keeping the Rocker vibe of not having anything edited sooo alive, that he even plays the intro every single video instead of having it already pre recorded.
Despite all the frills (which I approve) the guy always comes across authentic to me. His band is so good too, always nutswang for them (live especially)
@@TheChadTI I mean, I didn't mean in a bad way hahah I actually think that's really cool that he keeps it "Real" and he keeps it soo real that he even sings the intro every single time! I haven't seen the darkness live just yet but I def will do whenever they come to the US.
@@TheChadTI Justin has the key to all greatness: sincerity
@@Lurklluciano So worth the time if they come your way, they entertain. It's not just the music, it's a show.
Yeah cos it's soooo hard to do! 😂😂😂 You people 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Justin, luvin the channel and I'm total addicted ! Many many moons ago our paths crossed at a gig in the Fez cub (Reading) We were briefly talking about Frampton Comes Alive (as I’d pointed out at the time you reminded me of the cover photo) I don’t expect you to remember the conversation lol. Anyway, we’re rudely interrupted before we could finish. To this day I’ve often wondered your thoughts, especially about Do You Feel Like We Do. Please save me from my misery ! ! Much luv n riffs LJB
Yes! I am so glad someone has picked up on the inner rage of Brian May, something I've long suspected. He's a very controlled man, and I think in a band argument he'd be a master of passive aggression.
With all due respect, which translates to no respect at all, WTF does that mean?
@@blindeddy2220 It means that while Brian May is very polite, underneath he really is angry about a lot of the things happening in the world and he’s not all peaches and cream. When he writes about war, the ecology, life, death, or many issues dear to his heart, including his own band’s legacy, he is very short on temper and doesn’t view humanity generously. He gets along with people on a one on one basis for the most part and always shows good manners, but philosophically he is not an optimist and he has a moral code that he strives to align with while questioning and being in conflict with it. Terry Pratchett was much the same way. Everyone who met him for brief moments said, “What a lovely, jolly man,” but his closest friends knew he was often angry about many things having to do with injustice and ignorance.
@@wellesradio Hi W, please read the comment to which I replied. Your response doesn't address the topic at hand. Yes, everyone gets angry - we're all human. Sometimes our anger is justified. Sometimes it's not. Some of us exhibit that anger explicitly and some are passive aggressive. I don't personally know Brian May and neither do you (or Terry Pratchett, for that matter). How either would react during a fight with close associates (eg. a band argument - as mentioned in said comment) is unknowable without the intimate knowledge that neither of us, nor the original commentator, enjoys. Cheers.
And, yes, I knew who Terry Pratchett was without looking him up. I've read many of his books.
@@blindeddy2220 The Terry Pratchett thing is based on an interview and later an article Neil Gaiman wrote specifically on the subject of Pratchett’s anger. The May stuff is based on having been reading his blogs for years as well, listening to his music, and as evidenced here from the mouths of people who know him personally. It’s a righteous anger, and it fuels his drive.
Btw, I had read the original comment. I came to this thread because of that original comment. I only responded to you because you asked what was meant by May’s “anger”. Looking back at it, now you were quite disrespectful to OP for absolutely no reason.
Glad to see you this clear, focused and happy. Love your music! Keep it up!
So glad to come across this channel a few weeks ago. Always insightful and always grounded. It’s such a relief to see international bands touring in Canada anymore, so I’ll be buying a ticket for the concert next month in Edmonton.
I recently stumbled across your channel and found that I instantly liked you. I know of some of your music - not all of it, but I find myself wanting to listen to more of it because of your persona. Is that strange, or what? You seem like a naturally nice, funny and kind man that has rock ‘n roll coursing through your veins. Oh, and an amazing singing voice! Please keep the content coming. Thank you.
Did not expect the shorts for some reason.
Great vid, great topic!
Love this channel. Great content. Bravo Justin. Cheers sir.
"Justin, I can't get enough of these!! Sung to your intro melody! I have said it before, this channel is a breath of fresh air! GREAT WORK!
These videos need a LOVE button!❤️
Love the incredible show !! Go Justin
I sometimes think noel gallager became a rock star as an opening to become a full time interviewee
I love this channel!!
New to the channel and I gotta say it's such a refreshing change.
Brilliant topic Justin, love it! 😂😂😂
Still loving this show. Thanks Justin
Really liked the way you sang the second "again" today. Nice.
Really like this channel. Good stuff.
Man I’ve always been a fan of your music in particular your voice….now I’m a fan of you as a person brother! I think your demeanor is what I strive to replicate in my own life. Cheers friend!
Thank you for giving us something intelligent and fun! You brighten my days.
Cheers Alicia!
Your a good soul Justin . Be blessed buddy
this channel is brilliant, and so are you
A quick round of applause for the orangey-red shorts 👏👏👏👏👏
wow that was an incredibly graceful way for Justin and his brother to leave the KROQ interview, it managed to be respectful but still made it clear that they were setting a boundary there... definitely taking some notes
Absolutely love your videos, love you and everything about you, keep keeping it real justin. 🤟
Loved your first song but man your TH-cam videos are stellar. Cheers.
You have such a lovely, calming speaking voice, Justin. You have made it onto my bedtime listening schedule. And that's not a bad thing. You are among esteemed company - John Butler and his Spiritual Unfoldment and Trax to Relax. Although try to be less funny, my laughing keeps me awake.
This video was hilarious!!!! Love you Justin Hawkins. You are AWESOME!!! LOOOOOOVE YOUR CHANNEL. Soooo much... We are so lucky!!!
Quickly becoming my favorite channel
I remember seeing footage of when you and Dan walked out of that interview and feeling so proud of yas. 👌🏻
I love your perspective.
Never seen that nirvana clip, pretty cool. Great take on these, subbed a while ago and I keep being reminded how good the quality of these discussions are. Great job :)
The most superbly attired interview love it 👍🏻
i dont think i would ever buy your music , but if it was on the radio or something fine , i listen to most stuff , but i find these youtube posts great , you come across and a honest and funny guy , keep up the good work
The shorts....... Just class.
Said with love man.
Justin is such a fantastic musician and singer!!💥
Justin Hawkins - I salute you. A new name to add on my corkboard wall of fame. Loved the analysis of Liam's song and got to really appreciate you have an outstanding "ear" for music when deconstructing the song. A new fan. All the best.
PS i don't have a corkboard wall of fame i am pissed, but i will make one if you want to be on it.
Listening to him with he’s wise and soothing voice is so relaxing
Loving the intro ,as well as the content of course☺️
This is great!! Do more Justin! Plenty more walk outs - out there. This could be a feature 👍😀👌
This is amazing! This is the exact thing I had wanted you address since I found the channel, you walking out on Loveline haha
Joining your Patreon tomorrow!
This video was ridiculously good, seriously, I never was a big fan of The Darkness but this guys is an absolutely outstanding youtuber
Love the channel. Feels like im having a convo with you. Great subject matter. Great perspective. Brilliant. Liked and permanently subscribed. Oi! From Texas!
My opinion is this...if an interviewer crosses any sacred line to be hurtful and/or to intentionally cause a musician (or any other human being) to be intellectually compromised they deserve to be walked out on. Oh..and Brian May...yes...he's nice but he doesn't take any shit. Massive respect. You're right...time is precious...Good one today Jus.❤
I love the newer into. I feel like it gets better every video.
Ive been a fan since "I believe in a thing called love", Im so glad I found your youtube channel!!
Awesome insight! Can't wait to see you guys in Detroit again!
I don't know how or why TH-cam recommended this channel to me but I'm glad they did. I been binge watching all your videos and looked up your band and started watching some of your concerts. It's like watching a train wreck, you can't look away
His band are a train wreck?
Another cracking video! Keep on rockin'! :)
I'm sure you're a veteran of these ambush tactics, so I appreciate your side of it. As usual, you seem to have amazing restraint and a lot of class.
Really digging the new mysterious jingle!
I see you've added a nice little vocal trill to your ever-evolving theme tune. Nice work.
Great content. Keep it up
Wow, what a rather interesting channel. The YT recommendation algo was actually on point for once. Just subbed. Alohas/cheers everyone and have a blessed day.
Clearly your favorite hat. I have not been officially tracking, but feel this one must be special.
My favorite retort in an interview of all time, was yours back in the day. I can't remember if it was in print for a magazine or where, but..the interviewer was asking about the playing ability and/or differences between you and your brother. Your response:
"My brother is a white-hot guitarist...but me, I'm shit-hot."
Still cracks me up too this day!
Juz, you're a total GENTLEMAN!
Every time I hear your intro, you remind me so much of Freddie (RIP). Amazing. What a voice!
He sounds nothing like Freddie Mercury. Roger Taylor hitting those high notes, maybe but not Freddie. Sorry.
you're a natural mr. hawkins.
cheers!
Excellent! So I listened to the Darkness a bit but will need to review. This is brilliant as it must be AMAZING for your catalog. Steaming playing placements yeah! ❤️🎉
Excellent so interesting ty
Of course I’ve heard of “a thing called love.” However, I did not know anything about the band. I’m growing to love this guy, and I wanted to comment in the hopes he sees this. Justin, you are a wonderful and cheeky fella. Keep it up.
Hey Justin. Really digging the honesty. Feel like I'm actually getting to know you.
Justin your one of the reasons why i started playing guitar i love The Darkness!! Also meet your brother at Dan at NAMM in LA when i was playing for Yamaha Guitars
I walk out of interviews when they bring out the multiple choice personality test. I lie like a rug on those and I've never passed a single one. So if that comes up, I say, "This interview is over. Thanks for wasting both of our time." I actually filled out one of those things at PetCo and it said based on my answers they would be able to tell if I was lying and then it would tell other test people if I did so. I filled it out with all lies, said "cool", and thanked them in my mind for helping me stay unemployed.
I'm unemployed right now. Life is wonderful.
I like the way the subtitles for the theme tune say “Justin Hawkins right again”. It’s true, he’s never wrong
The klonk of the guitar hitting the stand right at the end hurt me. But I enjoy the hell out of your content, Justin. Looking forward to seeing the Darkness in Tempe, AZ - only a bit more than a month out now!
The best interviews I've seen you do Justin were with Jonesy, you all sounded like you were having a great laugh, and the one with the guy from Q radio in Canada was good, as he asked serious questions but got your sense of humour.
I'm very happy this channel exists =)
I used to do a bit of the ol' music journo stuff in the 2010's and although I can't remember much of when I was interviewing artists I would always make sure to make the session worth it for them. Always ask questions about their new project/album, ask them how the tour is coming along and if there are bands they are looking forward to sharing a stage with, go through the last album and talk about songs that might hold a special place in their heart, that sort of stuff.
I remember getting a sit down with Wes Borland when he toured the UK as Black Light Burns and made sure to focus on said band and only bring up Limp Bizkit if the question was relevant. ie: how touring this time around was different to the LB days and if there were things he liked more or less this time around. We got a chuckle when talking about showering and space to get ready, he was really nice. I even managed to get exclusives out of the likes of richard patrick (Filter) and Mortiis by going off the beaten track just by asking about something that a hardcore fan would ask ("how did you get the nickname Piggy when performing with NIN? I love the art cover style for your album 'The Grudge', it reminds me of Enigma. ETC.)
Music Journo's, always do your homework. Don't be a dick and fall on bland questions that will bore the pants off your subject!
He is very good at this. What a great find.
Watched your Dire Straits vid last night. Im a massive fan and you chose my favourite songs. Blinder
This is the 5th video ive watched of yours in a row. Enjoy every second! Its like talking with a close friend *that has IMENSCE music knowledge lol Cheers from Wisconsin, USA
I love the solo in Put out the Fire. I think the story is Brian May couldn't get the solo, got drunk, and then went crazy. The comment about the inner rage is so on point
A great song that really sticks out on that particular album (stylewise)
Great vidz bro!
Love you Justin! I’m a metal head of 25 years but my go to riff is always ‘ Black Shuck’ 😝
Thank you, Justin for being such an entertaining individual. Your musical prowess and performance is always a pleasure. But the manner of which you convey ideas and opinions is so human and appealing as well.
Oh and thanks for writing the music for cBeebies Amazing Machines... Is syncing to programmes something you guys aim for? or is it a come what may goal?
I love how Justin went total STAN for Brian May, he deserved every second of the praise.
Even pissed you handled that interview perfectly.
Best intro yet !
“I believe in a thing called love” was the song my wife and I used for the processional at our wedding. I would never waste your time in an interview Justin!! 🤘🖤
My husband and I did the same at our wedding 😁
I was a freelance music journalist for a few years and I always tried to come up with questions that I knew they hadn't been asked a million times by watching a bunch of interviews with them on TH-cam and in print. I had the fortunate chance of getting to choose which musicians and bands I interviewed so obviously the fact that I respected them all already helped matters, but I would NEVER go into an interview with the intent of trying to mock or bring someone down. Being a music journalist is partly about trying to find a neutral ground or find things you admire about the way an artist creates their music, even if it's not something you are a fan of personally. That being said; there's no doubt that there are a lot of (albeit much bigger names) journalists who are definitely out for blood and just looking to create drama when they do interviews. Truth be told, I was absolutely terrified to speak to all of these musicians I interviewed yet didn't want to sound like another little fan boy so had to find my composure.
I hated being a music journalist.
@@aryehwiznitzer9060 I had a love/hate relationship with it. I discovered a lot of new bands I most likely wouldn't have otherwise discovered and getting into shows and festivals for free with a press pass was definitely a nice perk. Unfortunately, the owner/editor was also a complete dick and would often completely change my sentences or paragraphs to the point where I sounded like an asshole or like I didn't know what I was talking about. He also was extremely full of himself and unwilling to accept or publish articles that weren't his own idea.
'Neutral ground ' betrayed you
I love Justin more and more! I’m starting to get addicted to his channel. I always remember feeling really bad for him when he played with hot leg at an alter bridge gig in London, and the reception was erm…. Not good. I felt he handled it very well!
That was a show called love line, I remember hearing you walk out on that show... I got a kick out of it at the time 🙂 FWIW I was trucking across the US at night in those days, this one stretch of desert I'd only get one station, and it was love line every night 🤷♂️
I love this channel.
The intros make me laugh but in a good way ! Classic Justin
3:12 i think you are awesome. I just found your channel and that's the greatest telling who you are as a person. I subscribed
Hey, just wanted to say I love you man.
I consider myself to be a nice ‘journalist’ and would like to talk about your favourite live shows. Been enjoying the channel!
You should use the old falsetto one for the intro and this new one for the outro!!! They're both WICKED!!!
Brilliant!
I met Brian May in 1989 (during a break in rehearsals for a Jerry Lee Lewis concert in London, on which he guested), and he was both humble and a real gentleman. Sadly, I failed to recognise the guy sitting next to him - it turned out to be Dave Davies of The Kinks!!!
Oh fuck!
Man, Justin seems like such a lovely bloke. This is coming from a 30 year old who remembers very well when they released I Believe In…and I liked a few of their songs but I never really listened to them. (Not because I didn’t like them but the classic, hair metal type rock wasn’t my bag). After stumbling across his videos it makes me wants to go for a coffee with Justin, maybe have a nice breakfast and a chat somewhere. Top bloke.
"Juuustin Hawkins rides againnnn!" In my head I keep hearing the intro to Queen's "Sombody to love". I bet you could do a good rendition of that, couldn't you Justin😉 Your channel has grown on me. I was a bit skeptical at first but I've settled in now.
Thank you Justin.
Was sat in the front row of the Bee Gees/Clive Anderson interview. Painful to watch. Thanks for sharing :)
Yesterday's video has me diving deep into Don brocos music catalog, they're quite weird!!! And I dig it!!! Lolol can't wait to see what this video brings today!!! Shall be interesting just from the title hahaha
See if you can find their early songs like metalface and I’m good (big fat smile EP) - I don’t think they’re on Spotify but pretty cool
