A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Author George R. R. Martin NEW Interview 2019
I wish GRRM was an immortal vampire.
He'd take centuries to write a letter. He might be immortal but we'd all be dead before winds of winter comes out haha
He's a Bolt-on
@@Greenkeeper132 damn, you got a point.
The Queen of England of Betty White should give some of their immortal power to George.
@@edgardomartin8299 She is not ‘The Queen of England,’ she is the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - and you shall address her as such!
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was such a joyous read.
@@Magooch86 lol...
@@Magooch86 No.
I was legit shocked when Baelor died... Oops spoiler
thick as a castle wall
Loved it
I think he just loved the name “dunk and egg” because it sounds like an item you ask for at Denny’s
That’s why I do
Before seeing it written out I kept thinking it was "Duncan Egg" o.O
I worked at denny's for awhile when they were promoting the hobbit movies and we had a meal called a hobbit hole 😂
@@staytuned2L337 I guess technically it would be Dunc' and Aeg'.
Aegon it's short for Aegon 😂
And this sounds more like a new item for dunk n donuts
George R.R. Martin: “I have all their stories planned out in my head”
Fan base: “Do we look like mind readers to you?!”
That's the best comeback to Martin's writing style I ever heard!
Technically anyone who reads books is reading the mind of the writer
@@SpecialOrder_937 what if he hasn't published said books 🤣🤣
@@SpecialOrder_937 that's not mind reading even technically. If it is then hearing someone talk is mind reading as well.
I loved a knight of the seven kingdoms, it's so much more intimate and wholesome, it's classic fantasy without huge wars or epic plots.
Dunk and Egg series are all the joy of GRRM's flowing narration and crystal clear description with much less depression from loosing one of your favorite characters.
I read a Knight of the seven kingdoms in 2 days, I loved every page of it! Every story is so clever and so well rounded
Do you know how I can find the book translated into Greek?
George's gravestone will say "What am I doing down here? I should be at home writing."
This is a great series of interviews, great interviewer.
You need to check out Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty on TH-cam, the interviewer not only knows GRRM's books, he knows what they are based on tremendously well!
His books are quite good as well.
@@bellycuda Also check out 'Britain's Bloody Crown' (about the War of the Roses) and 'Secrets of Great British Castles' by the same guy, Dan Jones.
It better be a good interview, Martin charges no less than $100k for appearance fees here’s the link to his agent and fees www.speakerbookingagency.com/talent/george-rr-martin/?video
"I was late delivering clash of kings"
*Winds Of Winter* : Am I a joke you you?
Why are you like this
I wish people werent so hard on George for not finishing his story's fast enough. You can hear by the way he speaks he has an insane amount of passion for his work. I dont think he would rush something out because ultimately i would disappoint him even more than it would disappoint his readers. I hope George gets to finish everything he wanted to write in this lifetime but if not ill still cherish the stories he did give us.
That's true... But 13 years is still 13 years. People who weren't born yet when the the last book left us on a cliffhanger are now starting high school.
It's the failed promised deadlines and self distraction with needless side projects that upset fans, if in 2012 he said you'll be waiting at least 12 years for the next one nevermind the ending, we have accepted that, he was adamant he'd be finished before the show caught up........
What do you mean "if he doesn't finish"? He's obese and in his 70s, with an inefficient work ethic and lethargic writing style. He definitely won't finish the main series let alone "all the stories he wants to tell". It's unfortunate but also reality
I bought the Legends book because I wanted the Robert Jordan story. Its how I discovered George.
If only he could write forever, I don't ever want to finish hearing or reading his stories
Hell yeah man
I read this book in jail 3 times
Salute
Badman 😂
Should have left them alone, they didn't deserve it
Dunk, Egg, Daeron, Young Maester Aemon, Baelor, Maekar, Bloodraven, Shiera Seastar, Rohanne Webber, Tanselle Too Tall. This show is going to be so good
Clash of Kings was late?? Lol, it came out only two years after Game of Thrones, and now it has been eight years since Dance with Dragons!
@Spellcaster86 woah Where'd you get that??
Words are wind, and I've broken better.
@Spellcaster86 keep reading you will :-) Enjoy the books
@Spellcaster86 Fair warning: taking a break from LoTR to read ASOIAF is like taking a break in a marathon to go climb a mountain. Both are great, enjoy.
@Spellcaster86 The first time I read the books, I flew through them really quickly, and then I found the ASOIAF Reddit, which made me realizr how much detail and subtlety I had missed. The language is easy/minimalist, and the plot is a page turner, but it really improves the experience to take it slow and remember all the minor characters and the details. Some of those details become important to understanding the characters and the story at a deeper level. Have fun...
I love ASOIAF, but Dunk and Egg is so good to read!
The Hedge Knight is my favorite fantasy book ever
This man needs to live a hundred years to write all of this
“Why am I telling you this? I should be at home writing.”
I know he isn’t talking about Winds of Winter, but come on George, it’s been 10 years...
Honestly the Dunk and Egge are better then the main series. It's such a nice story
I wouldn’t say they are “better” but they are good in their own way
Hedge Knight was in Legends 2 . An amazing anthology
I
This channel is effin' awesome!
I go to sleep with a Dunk and Egg novella going on the background
4:45 at least he knows his audience
2:15 no wonder why he writes so slowly
This is also why his fantasy world is so good.
Honestly enjoyed reading it even more than asoiaf
They are simple reads yet so many historical implications to the future of ASOIF
I love Dunk and Egg !!
Quite frankly Legends was the way I first read something from GRR Martin. His story was the best from them all
When I was given the gr0ahic novel hedge knight as a middle schooler. Ot was my first non super hero graphic novel and to this day it's one of my all time favorites
I was the type of fan who was only focused on the main series, then I started Knight of the Seven Kingdoms last monday and it's a massive page turner, I love it. I'm about to finish it, by the way, four days later.
I possibly like a knight of the seven kingdoms more than the original
It tastes so much like an old story. A King Arthur tale or the like
@Chuck Spadina yer a comic sounds shit a 2-3 season show sounds a lot better
I hope he lives long enough to finish A Song of Ice and Fire and some of his other books and projects.
All these great comments about Dunk and Egg make me excited to go read it!
if he does indeed pass before he can finish his vision I think the actors who portrayed some of these characters should read everything that he wrote and try to channel the characters they played and figure out how he may have wanted to tie up certain character arcs and the overall story. I feel like them along with his editors would be the the only ones with enough in depth knowledge of the world he created.
Dumbest thing i ever read, characters in show are not even close to book characters. Tv show was bad "fan" fiction and i hope that is the end of butchering of ASOIAF world.
@@ufiCz Damn my bad elitist. I know some character and story arcs are different in the show compared to the books but the show was still done with George's blessing. I was just brainstorming and figured The editors and actors who portrayed his characters may have the best chance at putting together something good if he were to not finish his story.
@@Timquan. He sold ASOIAF to HBO, because D&D agreed to do TRUE adaptation of his books and D&D had only right to make that show, because GRRM trusted them, that they are true fans and they really want to do TRUE adaptations of his books. HBO couldn't even change showrunners. So yes, they had his blessing at start, but they started to make changes and fu** him over, so he stoped working on that show.
Iam sure GRRM will pick some good writer to fill his gaps on his story if anything bad happens to him. Not D&D who betreyed him or ACTORS. You must understand that reading lines is something completely different then writing them. If actors play smart written character doesn't mean he is smart as author who wrote that character and that he actualy understand character he played. And even if they were able to "mimic" his writing of those characters, how could they finish his story if half of important characters and plot points are completely cut out ? Do you think every actor read +-5000 pages of GRRM books ?
It's not about some elitism it's about the truth.
Yes. Your bad. Idiot.
lmaoo dream of spring, is just that a dream
Winds will be Epic though
Can you imagine
At this point yes
@@210SAi I really hope i dont come back to this post. Its turned into a bad joke by now
Kevin Mendoza sad reality
Resurrect me!
His humour is top notch.
Thanks. ✌🏻👊
i legit wish GRRM would just drop winds of winter and focus on writing and entire new book of new Dunk and Egg tales.
i already don't care for the main series. Its been so long since i read ADWD. but there is something about the short and whimsical DAET that made me read the three released short stories like half a dozen times by now.
GRRM you da man
This MF needs to name a successor lmfao
True lol
I like to think when you start a damn good story and you are a talented author the world more or less reveals itself to you. Creating this kinda of naturally flowing story to the readers. That's why stories like got or lotr sometimes don't even feel written but more or less born
hey kids remember when george finished a story just right on time those were the days of legend
I'm afraid we won't see half of these books he's talking about.
He's a young man of 63, he''ll write them.
I'm pretty sure we will see TWoW and The she-wolves of winterfell and if we are lucky we may see ADoS
@@fer2627 I'm not worried about WoW, but DoS... I'm a little concerned.
@@fer2627 I'm not. How long has he been saying WOW was coming out?
Im on the third novela. Good stuff!
He's my GOD ‼️🙌
4.5 years later and still no Winds of Winter😭😭😭
Winds of winter is sadly never happening. I have lost faith.
Is the Dunk and Egg storyline going to come to our screens via HBO 2024 or 2025?
I like dunk and egg stories more than the ASOIAF
I wonder what server he plays on WoW.
Winds of winter ❄️ come on its 2021 …
If you don’t like Dunk and Egg, screw you it’s amazing.
Joe "stop dunking and egging on dave rubin" Rogan
Why in the thumbnails is he always leaning so far forward?
oliver the picture clearly showing the writer in a state of deep engagement in a conversation (leaning forward and his hand gestures) clearly showing us that our writer is describing something of some sort of importance which we can relate to in the video topic line, hence it’ll intrigue us into clicking just to listen to what he’s talking about in the picture. A nice visual trick to lure viewers in.
Its edge of your seat stuff
more dunk and egg
GOT BOOKS and sagas the best stories ever written
Fucking grr martin😂" no you're not goddammit!!!"👍
We’re never getting another Dunk and Egg story lol
I kinda wish he did the next dunc and egg before winds of winter
guys, im looking for some new fantasy worlds to explore, I love grimdark and ive read GoT, First law, what do you think about Wheel of time is it worth a look? do you know any good grimdark fantasy? (i know about warhammer )
I think you should give a chance to the witcher books. People said they are really good.
I read Wheel of Time. 14 books long so its quite an investment but I personally thought it was well worth it
I recommend Prince Of Thorns. But there's really only one reason to read it and that's the protagonist. Mark Lawrence for that series focused solely on putting you in the head of a sociopathic little shit. As a result, the world isn't too great, but Jorg (the protagonist) is entertaining as fuck. Though the first book has pacing issues, the other two books are a great fucking time through and through.
Wheel of time is super solid but there’s a bit of a lull kinda in the books 7-10 range.
Stormlight is amazing
At this point fans are more worried than angry
Considering GRRM's age
He was late delivering a book? No way! I can't believe he would ever take a long time to finish a book.
103k views and 2 comments?
clear comments were deleted
Lol so GRRM can indeed meet a deadline 😂
HEARD HEARD IT HERE I NTHIS COMMENT FIRST FOLKS
I WANT HENRY CAVILL TO PLAY DUNK.
HE'S GOT THE QUALIFICATIONS AN HE HAS THE RIGHT LOOK THAT MATCHES
GET ON IT FELLOW FANS
So that's all he needs: a hard deadline
So, if we threaten to replace him, will he deliver Winds of Winter by Dec 31?
Hopefully that AI completion was the first attacks of many. He does NOT get to have it both ways!!
YOU WILL GEORGE BY THE ORDER OF YOUR KING
He has to finish 2 more books of the main series then 9 more novellas of Dunk and Egg Then he said fire and blood part 2 .
I hope GRRM gets a burst of inspiration and he just locks himself in a comfortable hotel room somewhere for months in cycles and just churns these masterpieces out! 🔥
It’s not going to happen. He’s done writing any books.
@@TAKE_BACK_BRITAIN k
I recently *nailed* my first short-story deal and am currently working on 5 different novels, 1 of which I accidentally managed to get Hundreds of people waiting for (which happens to be the longest series 😭) simply by posting a snippet.
I often tell my small, maybe 5k-6k max following that I'm okay because I still write faster than George R.R. Martin.
I don't know if this confirms or discourages that philosophy 🤣😭🤣😭
He needs to write all his thoughts down in a synopsis. God forbid he passes away do to bad health,or virus. Or old age. 9 books left of dunk and egg. 2 of game of thrones main story. ... 11 books one of which 75 percent done. Doesn't seem possible to me. Considering how long each book takes. He barely has a career of 11 solid books through 40 plus years of writing. :( at least if he writes down a structured synopsis, his world can continue through trusted writers who know his content. I hope he does it and doesn't contain his genius with him
But the 9 dunk and egg books would be equal to one asoiaf books (9x100 pages vs twow and ados that both will be at least 1000 pages). So it would be 3 that way. Add in fire amd blood part 2 you have roughly 4000 pages to write. Assuming he’s got approx 200 pages in twow to go, and some chapters already for ados (~100 pages) and like 200 pages of part 2 of fire and blood at the point he realised he needed to split it, he’s already written 1100/4000. Now dunk and egg are much easier for him to write because they are short stories and less complex so 900 of those pages left are fairly easy. TWOW he’s focusing on now and will be done sometime soon no matter how pessimistic people are. Ados will be easier than twow as twow had to both finish old plot lines and establish the links to the ending. Ados will have a much stronger roadmap. Finally, fire and blood part 2 I don’t care about as much and again, due to the more vague storytelling, it is easier and therefore faster for grrm to write.
So what is my conclusion? As soon as we get TWOW a domino effect will happen where dunk and egg will come out quickly, then maybe when grrm is 78-80 we get ados. That leaves him with up to 10 years to finish dunk and egg and fire and blood, which he could release more than 1 book per year. Now I could be completely wrong, and he could die at 75, but as long as he lives to 80 I think we finish asoiaf
lol on how he was almost dropped from the book because of the deadline
4 years ago....... 😐
As a betting man I say he doesn't finish a song of ice and fire. At his current writing pace he simply won’t have enough time.
I disagree, but I think it will be his crowning work.
Also, apparently he put it righting that he doesn't want anybody continuing the series.
Dunc and egg spin-off???????????
the king story came back 18 hours after assignment ... this is not a compliment
I wouldn't mind a book on just Tyrion.
Impin Ain’t Easy-
The Life of Tyrion Lannister
GRRM Bag chaser confirmed
,
Indeed
@@MrSkme my guy spitting fax
You are right George! Get your ass back home and writing! We neeeeeed more
If he dies on us before we even get winds of winter, i am going to be so fucking pissed.
Somebody tell him to stop drinking coke and get healthier 😭 we want him forever !
I love Martin's work and admire his world building capabilities but Jesus H. Christ he talks about money a lot
Pretty crazy how ACOK was “late” despite being released 2 years after AGOT. And now we’ve been waiting over 10 fucking years for TWOW.
Ok, I recently finish a knight of the seven kingdoms and instantly wanted more, but apparently we can't get more until winds comes out....I can understand why the fans are alot more pissed
George needs deadlines again.
please just finish the book instead off selling out your an x hippie for God's sake
How is he selling out??
@@connorbutler5900 it comes from the 60's term selling out to the man which put profit before your values or in this case his writing ,being an x hippie who protested the war and corporate America he is now doing what he hated then
john beardshall where do you get the idea that he’s selling out his writing for profit?
john beardshall your logic makes about as much sense as your grammar
Pretty sure he fuckin knew what selling out means, dickhead.
4:38 that bastard have the audacity to make that joke
I honestly don't care about his political rant. I mean he's not wrong. Our country is a mess and so divided and toxic. No thanks to a clearly sketchy ex president who encouraged violence and hate. If you seriously think otherwise, then there's truly no hope for America.
Yep the current president is fantastic, make kid sniffing great again!!!
Americans gleefully allowing billionaires to run your country and pretending it matters what political opinion yhe candidate has. Theyre rich, they dont care about you. Biden and trump both.
HBO is now making it.
