Lanegan really is a class act. At several of his solo shows that I’ve attended, I’ve managed to chat with him both before and after the show. Couldn’t have been more friendly. One of my all time favorites without question.
Ladies and gentlemen..... the best vocalist circa 1985-2022. Equally gifted songwriter, lyricist. He left a lot of work! Get into Mark Lanegan. Listen to his solo records. You will love his songs.
...one point he looked at us and said "Is this an interview?!". We went through the Screaming Life book & he signed a few pages and cds for us (my Whisky For The Holy Ghost bears the legend - Nick, good talking with you! And I hadn't said a word!). He was real sweet, I offered him a joint and he said "Er, you got just a cigarette?" gave him one and he tore the filter off and smoked it! A real friendly guy... I feel privileged to have met him and chatted... *sigh* =O)
I thought Mark relapsed after the Rated R tour (2001/2002). Or am I getting mixed up with the Songs For The Deaf tour, a year or two later? I always thought it was the Rated R tour...?🤔 But anyway, luckily it wasn't a relapse back onto the heroin, 'just' the crack. And didn't last long either thank fuck! Because the crack is SOOOO much easier to deal with. Not addictive, in my opinion. Well, _yes,_ it *IS,* but it's definitely not as uncomfortable and imprisoning as an opiate addiction is. Speaking with experience from inside a 23 years long 💉intravenous💉 speedball [crack & smack] addiction. I can leave the crack/cocaine out of the spoon if I wish, and it doesn't bother me. As long as I have the heroin the crack always comes second. Always used a lot of everything & anything that came around, but could always stop taking it all just like that, *apart* from the smack! Anyway, this interview is from 2004, so yeah, I thought it was the Rated R tour a few years earlier when he relapsed...?🤔
@@thelightbringer807 def not clean here. It was a constant process for mark. I think it was finally around somewheee between 2008 and 2010 where he got clean for good. But I could be wrong.
His voice is so incredibly amazing and deep and perfect. He's not only one of the greatest singers of his generation, but probably one of the greatest ever! Definitely, a God among men, as it was said.
Good ol' Mark! Back in 2001 my friends and I turned up hours before a QOTSA gig in Folkstone and sat down in the canteen, saw Mark and were like "Mark! Mark! Mark! Can we have a word please?" He sat down with us and we chatted for about 15/20min. We asked him questions about everything! Kurt, Screaming Trees, Queens etc... My two friends did all the talking (we were speeding our nuts off at the time and it was quite obvious we were on something!), he kept grinning his face off at me and at...
He's got the deepest speaking voice I've ever heard. It's funny because he's got a pretty lengthy range when he sings high notes, I didn't think he actually had a deep voice.
i love this man soooo much his music is truly amazing and having been a fan for years its nice to finally hear the man behind it all. He seems like a really cool geezer. Love to go for a beer with him and his unexpectadly sweet smile!
That voice... The best singer of his generation. Besides, a great songwriter and a true artist. His work with the Trees on their last 2 albums was amazing too!
You said this sooo nice ! :-) Lanegan is a good and his voice has so much charakter...at the moment I´m non-stop-listening to his cover-album "I´ll take care of you"--amazing !!!!!!
Example of why you don’t become a drug addict. His head was in the toilet for most of his prime years. It wasn’t until he was pretty old when he stopped. Rumors he had relapsed anyway before he died.
I always like to hear an artist's process when it comes to making albums and I love the desert sessions style. Does Lanegan seem bitter about the trees? Was there a conflict I was unaware of? Either way, he's awesome and any music he makes is gold.
"bob denver" an amalgamation of folk/acoustic bob dylan was folk & got allota flack (judas) for going electric john denver -all i know is annie's song, think he's like an epiome of folk-/ acoustic- dom-ness
Well I hate to hear hum bag on the Trees man . The Conners are good peeps, and helped him make a name for himself. And vice-versa. I really miss the melodies he sang with the Trees.
@williampatrickcorgan look up the clip of the screaming trees on letterman in 1992 and the clips of the screaming trees in 1996 with josh homme & you'll get the idea.
@tiatuenge hes a great musician and is definitely geniune...i don't feel necessarily that cornell sold out though...i feel he tried something new and completely failed at making something good with it...
@lamaddussa Holy shit you're right,the jesus part of christianity is sore point for them. Im not the most religious guy around but based on what I've read and heard about,I cant imagine a situation where jesus would suggest war as an option. Im pretty positive he was not a republican having so many poor and homeless people as friends,one was even a hooker

Offering a joint to a recovering addict nice lmao
@@tylerparr5507 I was very young and naive, I had no idea of his past at the time...
@@nickthelick sweetest story! Gone too soon.
He was an addict at the time he posted this

wow..he looks so relaxed here!..i've never seen him so at ease during an interwiew!..so nice when he smiles and laughs!:)...and man, what a voice!!!..
I guess he was clean :)
@@thelightbringer807 he had relapsed here
He was higher than giraffe nuts.
Crack and heroin, is a relaxing combination (=

Wow. Cool story.
Impressive paste in Folkestone in the early 00s . Those all -day -weekends @ Lord Morris were no joke.
This is great! It's hard to come across interviews of Lanegan.
Not anymore. He came out of his shell. Quite a few interviews now
...and passed away on Feb 22nd 2022... Rip...
I like how he always looks and sounds sooooo uninterested about everything yet he comes out with great stuff. His voice is fantastic.
That's just that style of our scene everything is like "whatever"
@@Teekay617 Actually ,it´s simply Heroin. Sounding like this is a tell tale sign you´ve done some sort of Opiate/opioid.
9:45 He didn't live 20 years after that interview... RIP Mark ❤
One of my favorite ML interviews. It'd be nice to have it in decent video quality.
He has a great singing voice AND speaking voice.
Mark has so many projects goin on. I had the chance to see him in San Francisco at The Great American Music Theater with his own band. Fantastic!!
He's got the deepest speaking voice I've ever heard. It's funny because he's got a pretty lengthy range when he sings high notes, I didn't think he actually had a deep voice.
Mark was incredibly intelligent and funny. He’ll be more recognized in years to come
You would have to agree with him about 12bar blues. This was great time for him musically, Bubblegum happens to be my favourite Lanegan album.
Thanks for posting this - first time I've seen an interview with this guy. Awesome voice
Thank you!
i love this man soooo much his music is truly amazing and having been a fan for years its nice to finally hear the man behind it all. He seems like a really cool geezer. Love to go for a beer with him and his unexpectadly sweet smile!
Voice carved from solid granite
He's not high. That's simply his mannerisms.
mark is"for lack of a better term"a genious
That voice... The best singer of his generation. Besides, a great songwriter and a true artist. His work with the Trees on their last 2 albums was amazing too!
A very cool guy.
However, what I'm more impressed with is the wonderful pink-floral backdrop.
I've been listening to Mark's music for a long time, and have even seen him live... and I think this is the first time I've ever heard him speak!
I have to go to Ireland to pay my respect
The quality of this video perfectly reflects the rasping in his voice :)
he is the god in the radio
Awesome interview !! Simply I am charmed with it !!
You said this sooo nice ! :-)
Lanegan is a good and his voice has so much charakter...at the moment I´m non-stop-listening to his cover-album "I´ll take care of you"--amazing !!!!!!
@LoneConformist
oh, please. the guy is a true poet. look at his lyrics sometime. nobody's perfect, but, he is a true artist.
don't think lanegan likes interveiws.. he shows what he feels on stage. and does a good job of it
I found his voice very relaxing.
An amazing musician and a gentleman...
R.I.P.
Sigh, so he didn't make it another 20 years, 18 (2004 to 2/22/2022). Thanks for the music!
Example of why you don’t become a drug addict. His head was in the toilet for most of his prime years. It wasn’t until he was pretty old when he stopped. Rumors he had relapsed anyway before he died.
awesome interview
He had relapsed by this interview. He’s on heroin here.
What’s with the aliens chattering in the background??
not every heavy smoker ends up with a gravely voice like his. i wouldnt advise taking up the habit,or becoming a nun for that matter.
Smokers and nuns. Both have habits they should break.
The pitch of the famous Leonard Cohen’s voice dropped considerable AFTER he quit smoking.
The quality of this video never used to be this bad!
Wtf happened
Oh God - that voice......
Oh my 🖤.
gutter twins are awesome
dulli + lanegan = hot
fuck it. this man has so much soul just kicks my arse/ ass!! ::))
beautiful man, beautiful voice & yes i have a cliched crush. cant help it : )
RIP Mark Lanegan...
I always like to hear an artist's process when it comes to making albums and I love the desert sessions style.
Does Lanegan seem bitter about the trees? Was there a conflict I was unaware of?
Either way, he's awesome and any music he makes is gold.
Wow 15 years!
All he has to do is say "So lame" and a good song becomes a great song.
another grunge god who was a drummer before he was a singer...never knew that
That weird sound in the background makes me feel like I just took a hit of crack
He's bangin out of his head or something! Some gent!
sorry,one more thing; it's pretty fucking cool when a singer is being complimented on his voice for just talking
Which pixel is Mark?
why the fuck am i watching a 13 year old interview in 144p of some guy i dont know wtf
Pure: Mark
No, because the Gutter Twins are pretty damn good and original. Quit hating.
He ALMOST has a deeper voice than Phil Anselmo, "my music" you mean our music.
End of february... Only three years off.
totally agree...
@nickthelick That story made my day. I'm meeting the man next month,too bad he doesnt smoke anymore as it would've been cool to puff one with him
Did he mean to say John Denver or Bob Dylan?.... Bob Denver is the actor who played Gilligan from Gilligan's Island
I think he was referring to both of them, sort of a joke, compound Dylan's first name & John's last name.
His eyes keep rolling hahaha
man thats great,but i think he means john denver,wasnt the other guy gilligan?i make waaayyy too many comments on lanegan
"bob denver" an amalgamation of folk/acoustic
bob dylan was folk & got allota flack (judas) for going electric
john denver -all i know is annie's song, think he's like an epiome of folk-/ acoustic- dom-ness
Mark accidenti come je stai.....ma perchè non molli dulli e ci regali un altro capolavoro come bubblegum? forza!

Must go to bed...
Same
@tiatuenge Have you here the new stuff with PJ Harvey? That compared to chris cornell now.
@MrJohnK68 the "can't stop my leg" guy?
“I want to be Tom Waits and get wasted man”
what a king! the gutter twins are terrible though. i hope he's not losing it. know what i'm sayin'?
Gutter Twins put out a great record. You're insane.
looks like he was trying out for a gig with blink 182
yeh dullis voice brings them down
that made me laugh nicely
Okay I take the "idiot" comment back for you katey! and everyone should check out the video "Revival' by "Soulsavers"!!!
I'm waiting for him to nod out
Lol ikr? This was about when he relapsed and got fired from queens
I want to cough
Yeah toally
Sounds like one alright he is one :)
u said it,cutie
@DARRINCONNOR1 hahahahaha,you're right on about that
he sounds like he smoked like 700 cigarettes before the interview
@tiatuenge hes a great musician and is definitely geniune...i don't feel necessarily that cornell sold out though...i feel he tried something new and completely failed at making something good with it...
Is That Robert Klein?
a god of course...
Eyebrows!!!
@iamtheindyman
jesus was a pretty cool guy. unfortunately, most "christians" ignore almost everything he had to say.
@lamaddussa Holy shit you're right,the jesus part of christianity is sore point for them. Im not the most religious guy around but based on what I've read and heard about,I cant imagine a situation where jesus would suggest war as an option. Im pretty positive he was not a republican having so many poor and homeless people as friends,one was even a hooker
Gilligan???
@heavytomthumb
he would probably roll his eyes at people who call him a god! ha ha... but, he is a great artist.
u too comed.......
shame on you who said he is like Morrison. Mark is the real deal, Morrison was a whinning baby.
@gavranarh WORD. It's distracting. Unless he punctuates every sentence with an eyeroll...totally possible!
if you're gonna do heroin and do interviews, go for the tried and tested thing, wear fucking sunglasses
@WEGOTOPLASTIK i am sure he wants that too
Acid
Well - heroin.
he sounds like Satan
