I'll never forget seeing Devo live in 2010. I was a senior in high school, and my best friend's mom secretly upgraded our tickets to Meet and Greet. I had a Devo wallet and they each signed it, but Mark literally took everything out of it and ribbed me for having zero cash. He took my license out and stared at my picture, then he took his wallet and license out, removed some plastic googly eyes from his license and put them on mine. Then said: "If you ever get pulled over, tell them you're a secret agent man. They'll know what that means." Seriously one of the best memories of my life.
That's so awesome; what a fantastic memory!!
Liar
@@spanishbaldman How absurd of you to write this. You've got no way of knowing. As a long time concert goer myself, plenty of cool moments like this do happen.
That's awesome! My neice has met Mark a couple times at events, and he'd always sign something for her and was very cordial.
I was between college and graduate school, working as a buyer for a department store record department when their first record dropped. I first saw them at the Park West in Chicago in 1978.
I'd love to see Russell & Ron Mael of Sparks fame do one of these videos sometime
I saw these guys play the Whiskey in Los Angeles in 1977. Mark ran around the stage in a bondage costume shouting at the audience, "Alright, who needs discipline?". Glad to see they still have their sarcastic sense of humor and we have the same taste in movies.
The early live shows were wild. Bob 1 running through the audience on table tops playing solos.
My mouth was waterin' before even hitting "play" on this one, and my mind was spinnin' a little by the end. I have been a Blockhead dev-otee, card-carrying Spudboy for over 45 years, so to see Mark and Gerry hosted in the Closet definitely [sent] down an aroma of undefined love - [and dripped] on down in a mist from above. So nice to see that they're also Soo Bawls over one of my all-time favorites -- SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. Aside from seeing them live in Chicago, IL in 1988 with a lifelong friend and fellow Spud, one of my best Dev-o memories is when that same friend and I called Akron, OH information that same year to get the phone number for Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh's Dad, Robert Mothersbaugh, Sr. (General Boy), and called him. We had a nice conversation, in which we told him about how we love to imitate Ernest Angely, a notorious televangelist from Akron. He told us that Mark always liked to imitate him too!! We were over the moon. Thank you, Criterion, for hosting Mark and Gerry! What a treat!
I ordered postcards from the back pages of Rolling Stone in the late '70s ! little did I know they were by Mark Mothersbaugh now fast forward to 2019 + or -(?) and seeing his Myopia exhibit in Denver where there must have been a few thousand of the exact same psychedelic postcards on display unfortunately my ex wife threw mine out after a SHTF breakup oh well , I HAD some and loved them 😊
These guys were in one of the greatest bands ever and Mark M has written some great film scores. Kudos to Criterion staff for having two spuds in the Closet. Now I've got an uncontrollable urge to watch some Fellini.
THEY PICKED THE FELLINI BOXSET !!
Each of them!!!!
Yes, I want it!
I have and it is perfection….got it half price on a big sale
I'm 67 years young. I still flip on Devo LP's and watch them on you tube.
Mark Mothersbaugh !!!! One of my biggest inspirations/influences!
I have a cool selfie of myself with him in the 90ts which I treasure.
@MothGirl007 that's awesome! It would be so rad to meet him.
They are not men!
These are always SO amazing and I wish they were 10 times longer.
Saw them on their *last* tour last year and it was amazing. Feel so fortunate to see them on their sendoff.
They are not men, they are DEVO in the Closet!!! So Paul T. Anderson's dad was a sorta horror film host? It explains so much!! Loved this!
One of the original ones!He was later a major voiceover announcer for ABC.
Crazy.
Thanks DEVO for stopping by and thanks Criterion for extending an open hand.
Wow, the staff at Criterion really let these guys have total freedom of choice.
But what they really wanted was freedom from choice.
They had the uncontrollable urge to pick the Fellini box set
They opened the gates of steel for them
Its what you got….freedom of choice!
These comments are giving me golden energy.
Devolution
Criterion should release Devo’s videos
The videos were all recently restored, so it would be great to get a Criterion release!
I mean, it could possibly happen. They've worked together before, and sometimes they get people in the closet while they're working on extras 👀
🤔a CRITERION COLLECTION of cinematic music videos?
@@INSOMNIAFORLUNCH criterion have already done a Music Video release
@@MealDealSupreme 😱 name, please...
I saw them in concert in December, 1981 in Tucson. That was at their peak!
My heroes on my favorite YT channel! Just ordered my audiophile vinyl reissue of Freedom of Choice a few days ago.
Imagine sitting in a room listening and chatting with these two creative wonders - late at night with the lights turned down low, music playing in the background, sipping some good wine and whiling away the hours. Gawd I miss times like that!
I Do have the pictures to prove just such an event, in the NYC apartment of William S. Burroughs on the Bowery, witnessing the verbal gymnastics of Gerry, Mark & Bill during 2+ hours of Cross/Talking conversations in the company of Trouser Press editor Scott Isler & my Mamiyaflex 120 format twin lens camera. A sublime window of brilliance published in February 1982 (TP 70) and later that year Sumo-size reprinted in the NME. Read all about it beginning on Pg. 258 of Zip It Up! The Best of Trouser Press Magazine 1974 -- 1984 from Trouser Press Books
I saw Ilsand of Lost Souls in a film class and I almost yelled out loud: DEVO!!!!!!!!!
There are soo many things that i see, either current events or culture, and i just think.. wow, that’s so DEVO. If it’s high culture sometimes i have the chance to say, ‘wow that’s so Devóu.’ 😂 Not sure what i’d be like if i hadn’t discovered DEVO at 13 years old, but I definitely wouldn’t be me.
Ahhhhh those beautiful Red step hats, combined with their wonderful music. WHIP IT, whip it GOOD !!
Spuds in the Closet!
Naw naw naw what the h
deeply closeted devo fan
connordavis4231
Ghoulardi! Thanks Ger! Used to see DEVO in Cleveland before the fame, at WHK Auditorium (shows put on by Pere Ubu), and at The Pirate's Cove, a dive bar down in the Flats. At some point Mark would jump on the front tables, knocking your pitcher of beer all over you. Good times.
Cool! Initially they were fairly punk, gradually they became DEVO in many different new and interesting tributaries. Personally i followed their albums like people followed The Beatles.. where will their imaginations go this time? Even later things people sleep on like their Fairlight album Shout or even Total Devo or Smooth Noodle Maps, are underrated & artistic pop music. It’s easy to see why Bowie and Eno and whoever else found out about their insane early work and said, ‘we need this.’ Personally my favorite is "Oh No!" but it’s all great if you ask me.
I'm a huge hip hop fan but before rap took off I was deeply into new wave and devo done it for me I was sold!!!
Grew up with Ghoulardi..LOVE hearing the reference..also from Cleveland..love DEVO TOO
These man-spuds are heroes. Thank you Gerald and Mark for bringing your real selves, always.
Mark is such a brilliant film composer. Great to see them both in the closet! I need that Fellini box set!!
pee wee I loved and my oldest son loved rug rats 😊
Both grabbing the Fellini.Nice.
This video was too short! you have to know when it needs to be longer. Happy weekend everyone!
The soundtrack to Juliet Of The Spirits by Nino Rota is magnificent! It's typically found by its original Italian name "Giulietta Degli Spiriti".
Two of my favorite things, Devo and Criterion, together at last!
Love these guys. Thank you.
Two absolute legends of the music industry. I love DEVO and their music.
My favourite band talking about films is quite literally the coolest thing I’ve seen all day, and I just rematched my favourite film in a theatre
Oh wow! Devo and the Criterion Collection. What could be better! Both bring back fond memories.
I only bought the Criterion of Island of Lost Souls because they're on it. Which, they don't seem to remember they are, which is great.
My first concert:DEVO. I was 9 years old. Just saw them in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Love my spuds. Thanks guys.
I lived in Stow, Ohio, which is pretty close to Akron, from 1964 to 1969. I watched Ghoulardi on Saturday afternoon-he was on then as well as Friday nights. Thanks for bringing back memories of that experience! And I'll be looking for the soundtrack for Juliet of the Spirits.
Brilliant Brilliant as Always...!!!
It’s amazing how many bands and musicians and late night hosts Ernie Anderson aka Ghoulardi inspired. The whole garage music genre, Devo, Cramps, Pere Ubu, Dead Boys, Rocket From The Tombs, even The Cars (Ghoulardi often played Lets Go by the Routers), etc.. 🎉
Thumbs up from this guy watching in Akron, Ohio! ❤
I could hear Mark talk about musical instruments all day
Wow, never knew you guys were Northeastern Ohioan's. I grew up watching The Goul and Big Chuck and Houlihan in Euclid. I was head rodie for Carl 'Ted' Baldassare of 'Abraxas' in 1980 if you ever heard of that band. I left Euclid for Santa Barbara soon after, but to this day Baldassare is very active musically in that area with several projects and collaborations ongoing...
I think it's pronounced chaff (rhymes with laugh, which I did). Still, 2 of the most courageous creators on the planet!
Yes, it is....as opposed to the word chafe which IS pronounced CHAYF. But don't think he was talking about any rubbed body parts. Love these guys. ❤☮🌎
One of the best live bands ever. Will never forget seeing them.
That their first choice was Island of Lost Souls is so perfect, I know it's going to be a good day.
On "Island of Lost Souls", there's a bonus featurette of them talking about that movie; really good, and on a really good movie.
I have vivid memories of driving to my first remote job interview after college where they were putting me up in the (now defunct) Sheraton in Mahwah, NJ. It was late on a rainy and windy fall night and I was driving through the Ramapo while NPR was running some program on Satyricon and was playing extended clips of the soundtrack. I remember cresting the hill on the interstate when some amazing creepy music was playing and not a car on the road just this dimly lit tower jutting out in the middle of the mountains and abandoned warehouses. Anyway... that was my introdution to working in the corporate world. Agree with Mark that Satyricon has an amazing soundtrack to burn that specific memory in my psyche.
We’re all DEVO!
yes we are Spud Boy !
So Mark, I like this 70s late 70s and all the other bands that came out was a lot of fun! B52 ect it was fun on the radio. It was always a different band doing something different but it was all fun and y’all one of those band that did something very fun.
The director has been there twice probably the best movie I liked when you know when you’re in the room, moive is Wings of desire!!!! …. Mr. Columbo is in the movie. It’s done in German in America.
Watching these 2 icons is all I need.
omg, I try to absorb everything these guys say or reflect upon every time I see them together.
You know, it's not often that a band's major contributors can actually get together and be able to communicate in unison, and to do so for so many years. Jerry and Mark have something that even the Beatles couldn't lay claim to. Perhaps if John lived, but that's another story right there.
Ghoulardi also inspired Lux Interior of The Cramps. Had no idea he was PT Anderson's father. GREAT info from Gerald. Ohio rules, and I'm not from there.
Devo ....the greatest 80 s band in history !!!!
80s King Crimson tho
I grew up with Ghoulardi, started watching him from Parma, a suburban running joke on his show, when I was 7 in 1963. He wore out his welcome and scarpered off to Hollywood in '66 I think, so Gerald must have either seen that film earlier than '67 or he's thinking of Ghoulardi's successors, Big Chuck and Houlihan.
Love these guys!
I love these two.
Seeing those dudes on TV as a kid was like watching a live action cartoon with real life aliens. So unique & so original. Mad love for these mad scientists. And GREAT choice/choices. Bravo, Criterion!
As a huge fan of Devo and movies I am almost interested in watching this.
Yes yes Sweet Smell of Success !!!! best film about showbiz that is until Showgirls ( last day it's on The Criterion Channel )
I enjoyed Sweet Smell of Success when I saw it. In fact, it may be time for another outing...has been decades since I first saw it.
Cool. Mark loves Fellini. 😀
LEGENDS
I really like when visitors to the closet are unfiltered/unscripted, as Mark and Gerold seem to be, geeking out on extraordinary films. Sometimes it can feel prepared.
Legends!
Awesomeness 😊
I love Devo ❤
AWESOME
We must repeat!
Love DEVO
Nice rug.
Gerald and Mark are two of my biggest heroes! I love love love Devo!!!
Fellini, of course! Mark & Jerry = Punk/techno legends.
I was just listening to Faccette Scintillanti from Juliet of the Spirits. Now I know why that song rips.
Gerald,I saw u at a tattoo shop in Berkeley displaying ur artwork.I was afraid to say hi. Would have like to ask if you guys really did hang out at crown king,like we did.
I saw Satyricon on LSD in Cincinnati (when I was at CCM). now THAT is mind-blowing.
Even though they picked only four movies, I am happy to see these men enjoying themselves at the Criterion Closet.
I aspire to have glasses that cool.
I saw u guys I think in phoenix at a holiday inn @ 1982 ??
They got the boys!!
Mothersbaugh got to pick through the Criterion Closet and also got to do Whats In My Bag at Amoeba. I'm super jealous.
Ernie Anderson was the voice of ABC television in the 1970’s.
“Coming up next on the Looooove Boat…”
💜
My first favorite band was Devo
Love to see them guest host on TCM
now i must do what i must
So Mark, thanks for the memories. You get a good man and everybody likes you.( I am going to make a funny Mark came out the closet now😉🇺🇸🫡🥂🫵🙌😂😆🤣🍸🍾🫡🫡🫡🫵🫵🫵🫵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸)
so glad the guy who did the Rugrats theme is finally in the Closet. (love you Mark and Gerald)
ALL the music in Rugrats was composed by Mothersbaugh.
He also did music for many other movies and shows, including Wes Anderson's first 4 movies (which are all in thr collection as well).
@@paperking_real I know about and love his scores for the Wes Anderson movies! Mark's done a bunch of great scoring work.
We’re all Devo.
Ghoulardi was a huge star in Cleveland.
Four films total?😳
hell yeah, listening to freedom of choice right now and this popped up.
"Monsters and Madmen" is the set you want.
Check out the Life Aquatic soundtrack. So good.
These guys are cool
You guys should get Scorsese to check out and talk about the films in your collection.
Oooo. I would really want that to be a 1 hour special at least.
There's a DVD set called "A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies" (I think from the '90s) where he talks about movies, and the ones that shaped him. It's just American movies, though, no foreign films. Still, it runs just a tad under 4 hours. Really interesting, and you see some things that otherwise you'd never think of being an influence on a "standard" Scorsese picture.
@@Telstar62a I can't believe I didn't know abut this! I haven't even seen it and I already want him to do 4 hours on non-American films which is greedy but...Anyway, thanks for the tip!
I've been watching Fellini for the visuals. 🙃 JULIET OF THE SPIRITS here I come.
It's streaming on MAX for anyone interested.
Ohio guys. Love to hear about Ghoulardi
Like me, I'm sure quite a few of you here would have preferred DEVO to show up in their sci-fi gear.
Listen to DEVO, kids. Particularly "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO" and "Freedom of Choice." And watch their still mind-blowing music videos.
Wow Devo! No chaff…
