I guarantee you that Iron Maiden would not give a shit if someone that was interviewing them happened to be wearing a Kiss T-shirt. They probably wouldn’t even have given it a single second of thought .
That Kiss moment was pure 100% bullshit from the band. Who the hell are they to say he can't wear another bands t-shirt? The most anti-rock n roll move ever. They should have quit long before they actually did. Ridiculous
Gene Simmons proves OVER&OVER how much of a dick he IS🤔 If I can play every bass line he ever "composed" in a few runs over the songs (as an ameteur bass player), then he's NO "great shakes"...just a "show"🤔 Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is lightyears BETTER a bassist than Gene Simmons...& Gene KNOWS IT🤔
@@elluchadoresrojo5098 tell me of another rock band who did that to a reporter for wearing the wrong t-shirt? Yeah that's right kiss was being assholes
Watching this at age 44 makes me realise how fucking infantile and egotistical those 'rockstars' actually are. As a teen I thought they sounded so cool and now they sound like little babies. At least that's one benefit of aging.
And for that reason alone I never regret getting older and wiser. No interest in going back in time. (Unless I could go back to high school and tell my teachers off and bang the cheerleaders.)
Once I met this woman who worked as an assistant tour manager. She had worked with all the great names you can come up with and also amazing underground bands. From Eric Clapton to Therion, from Britney Spears to Dimmu Borgir. She told me that of all the artists she met in her career, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons where by far the worst. Actually, she pledged to never work with Kiss again. That speaks volumes.
I’d be embarrassed if I had any association with KISS… I literally wouldn’t tell anyone. I would just tell people I worked with talentless a**holes that dress like clowns.
I had a relative who worked in the industry during the late 70's to mid 90's. We were talking and I asked him why so many other artists would mention KISS as an influence to them. He couldn't figure it out either. He said that every session musician and engineer thought they sucked.
I've heard this about Kiss so much from people in the music industry especially artists who grew up idolizing them, once they finally got to meet them, turned in & or tossed out their Kiss army badges/patches.
@Digital Intent I really think it was their personas/stage shows because it was just SO overthe top for the time period. I could never make sense of it either until I analyzed it a bit more and though that had to be what it was. That and the fear they struck into the general public. But their music was never even all that great, imo.
@@digitalintent The fact that they pulled it off is what makes them legends... entertainers that happened to be musicians. Same for David Lee Roth, another great showman and songwriter.
I know that probably not a lot of the people watching this also like one direction but there's a 1d interview that's like this....😬 it hurts to watch lmao
When it comes to KISS, Ace Frehley said it best: “How are you going to take yourself seriously when you’re sitting there in a superhero costume and a face full of makeup?”
It's almost as if they're not actually being serious. Gene has never been serious in his entire life. He loves to do this stuff, because it drives virgins crazy.
I wished that the kiss interview would have sparked a trollfest. Where every interviewer afterwards would have worn an iron maiden t shirt. That would have been too epic.
That had to be embarrassing for Rollins when the kid interviewing you acts tougher than you'll ever be. Rollins tried to be intimidating, but the kid didn't back down at all.
Yes, but Henry Rollins is a much more kinder man nowadays and he even acknowledges that he was an embarrassing jerk to that kid and has since apologised.
@@tedhuggins764 Henry was probably maybe 20 at that time. Most 20 year olds are dicks when given power like a musician gets. But he grew and now he's definitely not like that. Sure was cringy to watch it though.
@@tedhuggins764 Aah.. that's redeeming to hear.. I want to like Rollins but his behaviour in interviews like this bullying a kid and just acting like a jerk were to his detriment. More capable brains have self awareness and a willingness to re-evaluate and change beliefs and attitudes, so I will watch future Rollins material with the new knowledge that he's aware of his previous shortcomings.
If I were Kiss I’d be ashamed of myself. That was so pathetic. True legends are confident in their legacy. If they had shown some class and either ignored the guys maiden shirt or complimented his taste in bands they would have looked cool. Now they look like petty jealous money hungry losers!
@@HeavyRaiden I like maidens first 6 albums. I find them boring now. I still buy their new albums but I rarely listen to them. My problem with Kiss is they’re arrogant money hungry jerks.
@@Vinylfiend60 Of course it's entirely subjective, in my opinion Maiden is a way more complete and complex band than Kiss, it doesn't even compares to them. Albums like Number Of The Beast and Powerslave for example. Never was a Kiss fan, i wouldn't say they are bad, but they are pretty overrated in my opinion.
I’ve never understood this mentality that some bands have like that Kiss interview. It’s not like it’s competing products or brands, like Walmart or Target. Music enthusiasts will listen to a plethora of bands. It’s not like we individually sign a contract of loyalty to Band A, but not bands B-Z. It’s fucking stupid. All they did was just make music fans hate them more. But then again, maybe they were just intimidated because Maiden was, and always will be far superior to Kiss.
@@phyrestorm999 they could have been dicks about it but decided to act mature and just laugh it out. The interviewer though looked like he was about to collapse

The System of a Down interview was a sad one. The interviewer was asking good questions and she was really confident too. She’s had a lot of great interviews with people like Peter Steele and Henry Rollins. Sucks that the band was too drugged out to be polite
Interviewed Serj Tankian as well a few years back, he was the nicest guy ever and wouldn't stop talking.. I wasn't even able to ask all of my questions :D It was early afternoon and he just came from a walk through my city. He definitely was 100% sober, which probably helped ^^ Same with Phil and KSE
Narduwar is great but he only interviews rap artists now. I liked it better when he interviewed rock and metal bands. He still does great interviews but I'm not into modern rap at all. My favorite is when he interviewed Steel Panther.
I should be used to Gene Simmons antics after all these years but still he manages to make me drop my jaw from time to time. One of the biggest asses that ever assed.
I've seen that Kiss interview before. It still pisses me off, there's like a hundred different ways they could've handled that instead of being dicks on camera to that poor interviewer who was only doing his job. If they were so concerned with their brand why not address it before the cameras start rolling? Even better, give the guy a t-shirt and everyone sign it on camera so he will have a cool story he can tell his friends about later.
I agree with everything you said. But thats Gustavo Olmedo. He is a well experience journalist and he's been everywhere and talked to everyone in the metal/rock world. The guy is a legend himself. That kiss thingy was almost nothing for him.

That Phil interview is a masterpiece, nothing uncomfortable about that, actually they look pretty comfortable lol dude even get his knuckles cracked up by a legend
For context, people had been endlessly talking shit to and about Black Flag for their style change during the My War album and actually every album after. Most of it specifically directed towards Henry, who wrote zero lyrics on the album, and played zero notes on the album, and at that point was pretty much a temp worker for the band. All while Greg Ginn does what Greg Ginn apparently does in every life situation and passes the buck for someone else to deal with. Kira walked away when the kid started talking bravely because she knew what was coming. Bill Stevenson was visibly physically restraining himself from going way more savage than Henry. It doesn't take the Psychic Friends Network to know that Henry wasn't and still isn't a guy that people ask smart ass idiotic questions to because he is going to immediately give the person smart ass idiotic answers. It was above his pay grade to entertain some scene clone kid's nonsense about music and bands he didn't know and never heard of, which was the thing that Henry wanted to say but was keeping his mouth shut about until the kid made a remark about it. He has since apologized for that interview and said that he isn't proud of the way he acted towards the kid but honestly, don't show up at a show preloaded with the dumbest fucking questions and dialog anyone could come up with, insult a band (and their labelmates, and multiple cities) who came there to play in a bull shit venue in a bull shit town like Dearborn with no music or art scene worth ever mentioning and people might not bang the microphone off your forehead to see if the thing sounds as empty as it looks.
TL;DR version: If you are interviewing a band the absolute dumbest fucking thing possible to do is, for example, implore the band to explain to you why you no longer sound like every other band and if the band thinks they are "selling out" by not doing so
And definitely don't do it if you don't even know any of the music from any of the bands you're talking about. Go pose in a store window if you want to be a mannequin
@@neilpatrickhairless You're 100% right. Despite being cocky and arrogant, Rollins didn't actually create any of the best Black Flag music. He was just one of many vocalists. It's Ginn's band and always has been, but Keith Morris (and Ron Reyes) contributed to the music in the early days. That's probably another reason he's such an asshole, to this kid and generally. He's really just an angry little roadie turd who shouted whatever words he was told to.
I was invited up to their old managers (Doc) apt for a party NON KISS related & Gene showed up & asked if I had a gold record. I said NO .. long pause Gene thren said " Want to buy one?" WTF lol
They added that SOAD interview to the list of times when bands outclassed interviewers. I watched this when it came out. Julia is a great interviewer and a massive fan. They were absolute dicks, and I didn't think it was funny or cool at all. She had a job to do, and they made me think less of them after this. She's the one who outclassed them.
They? no! I think just Daron started to repeat some nonsense words. Everyone knows Serj Tankian is in the different class, he is a true Artist and a great social and political activist. You can't compare Serj with others.
Ted Nugent yelling in the interviewer's face about how much of a damn, nice guy he is is the most aggressive, ironic form of doing exactly that. Brilliant. 😂
I used to think nugent was so cool growing up...and he's just got sadder...he has to act like that for attention? How about actually being a nice guy, act professional and quit being so miserable....

I never get tired of The Sex Pistols interview, where Steve Jones cursed at interviewer who had it coming. John Lydon (Rotten) was trying to move interview along. Loved them! KISS are Egomaniacs
We might see it differently if we knew how much of an ass the interviewer was being. Obviously he was trying to mock him for some reason because he won't comply.
@@thedude4672 60 going on 13 Tommy Lee's so predictably predictable. And boringly so. 40 years and still doing his pathetic "I'm so shocking and funny" schtick...(yawn). If that's your idea of what a rock-star (what a cringe-inducing word) is/should be, go ahead and lap it up. After all, that's exactly what Tommy Lee is expecting you to do. Hey, he's now on only fans-what are you waiting for..
I actually like that guy Niklas Kvarforth. He just wants that inteviewer to be comfortable instead of being scared. This is the way you can see that Niklas just respects people, even when they look nerdy or scared. Great respect to this artis.
hahahahahaha yeah sure uncle ted u are a "nice guy" hahahahahahaha how him is degrading himself at that point man!!...is fucking hilarious, ......and the journalist holdin´the laugh for a little while looking at him and then to the side and the floor to hide the inquisitive judge look hahahahahahaha Man maybe he got a bad dictionary bcause thats is so far of a real NICE concept! hahahahahaha...
There were also some weirdly racial undertones in how Paul was speaking to that interviewer by mimicking his accent. Speaking as a life-long KISS fan, KISS has never been a stranger to looking or sounding bad from one end of their career to the other, and this interview may be them looking and sounding their absolute worst. It's behavior that is nothing shy of inexcusable bullshit that I refuse to support.
5:38 The interviewer asked a serious (maybe a little bland) of a question and got a lukewarm response. He make a joke to lighten the mood, and the guy who couldn't answer any questions acted like a pretentious jerk.
Never Shout Never was the band. What's even more annoying is they going from Elder Scrolls/Lord of the Rings to, you know what man this interview is done. LOL
Perhaps there's some lost context because the fucking band started the "Elvish" joke and after the guy with the mic said "Lord of the Rings-ish" thats when they said okay fuck this guy lmao. The entire interview must have been shitty. Doesn't help the band members look bored/drunk.

I got punched hard in the back by Phil once. I didn't know who punched me until I turned around, and saw him laughing. It was football Sunday, his Saints lost, and I was wearing a Packers hat backwards. I'm guessing my hat contributed to his punch. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. 😂
I did a meet and greet with him and Down. He was sober and cool af during the meet and greet....then when Down came to play their first song I was recording it to send to my friend that was unable to attend after being hospitalized. Well Phil saw me with my phone and proceeds to scream about how he's going to break my phone over my face etc. Lol, the dude was drunk af and made himself into a complete ass that night. He was on stage ranting about planned parenthood and f**king all kinds of random nonsense. I still love Phil and his work, but he's definitely a 🤡
@@nachomansandyravage2346 ya but you gotta see it in different angles.. your friend was in hospital and tragic things happened in his life too and those demons come out when your drunk.. everyones got something balled up inside them for the most part anyways..
Really love how Gene always says he took ACDC out on their first door, and Bon Scott was interviewed about it and said "I have no idea who KISS is, all we knew is that we got our shot to hit America."
If Bon would have paid a little more attention, he would have noticed that nobody in Kiss drowned on their vomit. He did complement Rush, and either Alex or Geddy said that as much as Bon seemed drunk all the time, when it was time to hit the stage he brought his A game. [ My words. Not a quote.]
@@jeremyrafuse5330 if you're saying Rush sucks you are just showing your musical limitations ...go see what other legendary bands say about Rush... they are a musicians band ...maybe thats too much for you to comprehend ,just like regular people today can't listen/process classical music -which was normal music in past centuries. Controlled evolution is dumbing us down- get out of the first row...
@@MichaelKerr71 That's not Phil when he's angry.'You wouldn't like him when he's angry'. You don't even like him when he's taking the piss out of a journalist. What else is a guy of his profile supposed to do, with all the bad press that was either showered on him, or he brought on by himself? I would probably do the same if I was him. I love everything Phil Anselmo ever did creatively, but I would not trade places with him. I couldn't handle it.
He most certainly does owe the poor kid a sincere apology. I want to reach into the screen and grab that mike and knock Rollins on the head and see how he likes it. The kid was just trying to ask some questions. He was polite, and in no way provoked that kind of disgraceful response. He was just a kid. And Rollins humiliated him in front of an audience, and had no right to knock him on the forehead. That teenaged boy kept his cool and showed far more professionalism than Rollins did, who behaved more like a child than the boy did.
Interesting thing about the sex pistols interview: Apparently, it was common knowledge at the time that the BBC did a lot of their interviews a pre-recordings so they could edit out the bits they didn't want (vulgar language, nudity, etc, etc), but on this occasion they did the whole thing live and the sex pistols didn't have a single clue, so when the interviewer was goading them on, they didn't realize that it was going to be live and so were shocked themselves when they found out after the fact. BUT! Instead of wussing out, they went one step further and managed to get ahold of the telephones that answered viewer complaints and answered each phonecall with "This is the BBC, do fuck off." Steve Jones did say though after the fact that had he known it was all going to be live, he wouldn't have swore so much, but by that point, after all was said and done, he and the others just kinda went "fuck it" and just went along with it all. Say what you want about the Sex Pistols, but you gotta admit, that's pretty damn punk right there
Also, the one woman laughing and standing behind the Sex Pistols is Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The interviewer, Bill Grundy, said that he was drunk during the Pistols' appearance.
Lol at the Kiss guys being mad at the Iron Maiden shirt. Yeah you may have taken them out early in their career but Kiss does not hold a candle to Maiden Also, the Killswitch one wasn't uncomfortable those dudes are just flat out goofballs!
I wonder if people ever figured out that Killswitch interview is a joke interview. The interviewer is clearly playing a character and has the timing of a comedian
haha that Gaahl thing is gold. I love how he builds up the viewer expectation by thinking for like 1h before giving that shitty answer and "dropping the mic" by drinking a little wine like "omg I'm so badass"... I remember laughing for like 15 minutes straight the first time I watched that. It's like when you feel a pain in your chest and expect like a heart attack or an alien exploding your chest to gain freedom at any second, then you just fart and get better.
thats his real beliefs though, you can laugh at it, but he legit believes in it. funnily enough, he's actually a nice guy believe it or not. very chill. but yeah, i don't think he's joking around with the satanism stuff.
I don't really care about what he believes, I only think that the one word answer was just to look badass/smart/awesome and it backfired in my opinion. Could've done better than that if he really wants to make a point. After all if you give an one word answer you will certainly get a follow up question, which he also answered with a single word. People may start thinking you're dumb and can't articulate thoughts lol. EDIT: And sure, he's a nice guy, except for his little blood drinking and torturing problems, but come on, no one's perfect right? Probably more of a nice guy than Ted Nugent if that's even possible.
5:39 I liked the outspoken sincerity in the Chris statement. 10:37 such nice guys are KSE. Their laughing is genuine, with a bit of spice for the interviewer but with no malice
I remember as a teenager seeing a magazine with Ted Nugent in it hairy and naked with just a guitar to be decent and I gotta say I was grossed out 🤮🤮🤮didn’t become a fan. I mean sure express yourself but don’t expect any women to become fans lol
It's all out of context if you dont see the whole interview. Interviewer was being a negative dick because he had different political views and a agenda to promote.
@@benjaminaxselholm Ikr it's amazing how many smoothbrains in the comments are trying to say that just because Ted got pissed off while saying he's a nice guy, somehow that makes him disingenuine or an asshole.

@@adamt5 Nah that's Z (this is coming from a Z). A lot of millenials love Madonna because she was part of their childhoods in the 90s. I remember my sister really liked her and had a collection of CDs. I think most people's gripe with her is that she never wrote her own music (which, by that logic, makes celebrities like Beyonce just as bad but I digress). I don't think the comment you're replying to is hate btw, it was just a funny and unexpected celebrity moment.
I've never heard of this band either. It's the guy in the red shirt who's the asshole. He was very condescending and tried to skewer the interviewer with ridicule, especially at the end where he points at him. Really tried to humiliate the interviewer. Watching these interviews, there's a lot of abuse of power on the part of these musicians. Most of these interviewers seem to be hardly known, and to therefore have very little power and authority to balance these "stars."
It's behavior like this that polarizes reactions to Love. She doesn't hold back. There seems to be no filter, regardless of whether it's someone famous and powerful such as Madonna. Love once made some half joking comments about Harvey Weinstein back in the day, way before he was exposed. Some people admire that frankness. She just ignores social conventions, no matter how formal or important the occasion is. And the drama that follows makes for compelling entertainment. I think that's partly why people like her, or are fascinated with her. You can expect the unexpected. And on the other hand, this incident demonstrates Love's lack of regard for the feelings of others, and her compulsion to upstage others and grab center stage. And that's part of the set of behaviors that make many hate her.

It's mostly the shock factor and gimmick that carried them as far as it has. I will say that Kiss has a few great songs. But they are mostly just a gimmick and not much else. Pretty much the Cardi-B of their time
Yeah, I might have been living under the rock this whole time, but I've never heard of these guys up until now, and they act like Kiss or someone like that
the dudes are actually cool. This clip doesn't show the whole context, but basically Bryan stars got carried away making jokes and that took the seriousness out of the interview. Chris was trying to tell Bryan to respect the artists's time and pay respect to their craft. Unfortunately he ended up being a dick to other people down the lane in his creative endeavors.
That “I’m busy selling out, and gotta get backstage to my women and my Cocaine.” bit was so fucking golden it almost makes up for him being such a prick. I heard him say he actually feels bad about grilling this kid like that.
It wasn't just the grilling of a teenager. The despicable action was the knocking of the mike on that poor kid's forehead. He had no idea that was coming and Rollins absolutely overstepped the line. That's something cartoonish bullies would do in 80s films like "Back to the Future." The interviewer was just a teenager, and Rollins had the power in this situation. That was humiliating, doing that in front of others, in front of the cameras. Somebody should have stepped in and made Rollins apologize to the kid. Makes me want to wrench that mike from Rollins' hand and bash his forehead with it.
@@SY-ok2dq watch whole interview before judging... the kid told him he sold out , and if you know Rollins you know thats probably the worst you can say to him ... thats why he said he needs to get backstage to hookers and cocaine... educate yourself before giving comments ...the kid got what he deserved .
You have to remember, Gene is all about the BRAND of Kiss. To him, that T-Shirt was like someone caught on camera drinking a Coke in a Pepsi commercial.
But then he goes to point out that “we took them on their first tour” so really it’s like someone drinking a sprite in a coke commercial. Made by the same company, there’s just one guy being a pedantic prick.

I had a relative who worked in the industry during the late 70's to mid 90's. We were talking and I asked him why so many other artists would mention KISS as an influence to them. He couldn't figure it out either. He said that every session musician and engineer thought they sucked.
I've heard this about Kiss so much from people in the music industry especially artists who grew up idolizing them, once they finally got to meet them, turned in & or tossed out their Kiss army badges/patches.
@Digital Intent I really think it was their personas/stage shows because it was just SO overthe top for the time period.
I could never make sense of it either until I analyzed it a bit more and though that had to be what it was. That and the fear they struck into the general public. But their music was never even all that great, imo.
@@digitalintent The fact that they pulled it off is what makes them legends... entertainers that happened to be musicians. Same for David Lee Roth, another great showman and songwriter.
All of these gave me secondhand embarrassment….except for Courtney. That was hilarious then and still is 😂
Courtney has the balls to say and do what half of us won’t do lol. She gets a lot of shit but I adore that about her.

Yeh that interview was awesome ! Ace and Peter made those two clowns mad, embarrassed them and stole the show. Brilliant!

Bro was stressed 😂
I wished that the kiss interview would have sparked a trollfest. Where every interviewer afterwards would have worn an iron maiden t shirt. That would have been too epic.
That had to be embarrassing for Rollins when the kid interviewing you acts tougher than you'll ever be. Rollins tried to be intimidating, but the kid didn't back down at all.
🙌🏻✊🏻 hail to the kid!

Yes, but Henry Rollins is a much more kinder man nowadays and he even acknowledges that he was an embarrassing jerk to that kid and has since apologised.
Rollins is a turd, he always has been.
@@tedhuggins764 Henry was probably maybe 20 at that time. Most 20 year olds are dicks when given power like a musician gets. But he grew and now he's definitely not like that. Sure was cringy to watch it though.
@@tedhuggins764 Aah.. that's redeeming to hear.. I want to like Rollins but his behaviour in interviews like this bullying a kid and just acting like a jerk were to his detriment. More capable brains have self awareness and a willingness to re-evaluate and change beliefs and attitudes, so I will watch future Rollins material with the new knowledge that he's aware of his previous shortcomings.

If I were Kiss I’d be ashamed of myself. That was so pathetic. True legends are confident in their legacy. If they had shown some class and either ignored the guys maiden shirt or complimented his taste in bands they would have looked cool. Now they look like petty jealous money hungry losers!

@Fifo Cuz they toured with them before. AC/DC kicks their ass all the f over town. Stanley and Simmons are among the biggest ego narcissists around
Iron Maiden is waaaaay better than Kiss, too
@@HeavyRaiden I like maidens first 6 albums. I find them boring now. I still buy their new albums but I rarely listen to them. My problem with Kiss is they’re arrogant money hungry jerks.
@@Vinylfiend60 Of course it's entirely subjective, in my opinion Maiden is a way more complete and complex band than Kiss, it doesn't even compares to them. Albums like Number Of The Beast and Powerslave for example. Never was a Kiss fan, i wouldn't say they are bad, but they are pretty overrated in my opinion.
I’ve never understood this mentality that some bands have like that Kiss interview. It’s not like it’s competing products or brands, like Walmart or Target. Music enthusiasts will listen to a plethora of bands. It’s not like we individually sign a contract of loyalty to Band A, but not bands B-Z. It’s fucking stupid. All they did was just make music fans hate them more.
But then again, maybe they were just intimidated because Maiden was, and always will be far superior to Kiss.
Agree... up the irons!
Gene pretty much primarily sees them as a brand, he's actually said that before. Such a twat 😂
oh but to Gene Simmons it's most definitely about the brand of KISS
i don't listen to either bands so i could care less lol
Say what you want about the band, but Gojira wears shirts of Deftones, Sepultura, Pantera, many others in all their interviews.

These make me appreciate the talent of someone like Nardwuar who almost always has entertaining interviews for both the viewer and the band.
Narduwar is great but he only interviews rap artists now. I liked it better when he interviewed rock and metal bands. He still does great interviews but I'm not into modern rap at all. My favorite is when he interviewed Steel Panther.

@michael B Shut up, nerd. Maybe you should watch the entire interview sometime. It was awesome and the got along just fine.
@@BlackTooth9606 aha you took the uplift lyrics
legend?! thanks, we all need a good laugh.
Henry Rollins didn't know how to react to someone even smaller than him, so he went right into bully-mode against the kid.
And Maximum rock-'n'-roll was a awesome zine. I wish I had all my old ones
For context, people had been endlessly talking shit to and about Black Flag for their style change during the My War album and actually every album after. Most of it specifically directed towards Henry, who wrote zero lyrics on the album, and played zero notes on the album, and at that point was pretty much a temp worker for the band. All while Greg Ginn does what Greg Ginn apparently does in every life situation and passes the buck for someone else to deal with. Kira walked away when the kid started talking bravely because she knew what was coming. Bill Stevenson was visibly physically restraining himself from going way more savage than Henry. It doesn't take the Psychic Friends Network to know that Henry wasn't and still isn't a guy that people ask smart ass idiotic questions to because he is going to immediately give the person smart ass idiotic answers. It was above his pay grade to entertain some scene clone kid's nonsense about music and bands he didn't know and never heard of, which was the thing that Henry wanted to say but was keeping his mouth shut about until the kid made a remark about it. He has since apologized for that interview and said that he isn't proud of the way he acted towards the kid but honestly, don't show up at a show preloaded with the dumbest fucking questions and dialog anyone could come up with, insult a band (and their labelmates, and multiple cities) who came there to play in a bull shit venue in a bull shit town like Dearborn with no music or art scene worth ever mentioning and people might not bang the microphone off your forehead to see if the thing sounds as empty as it looks.
TL;DR version: If you are interviewing a band the absolute dumbest fucking thing possible to do is, for example, implore the band to explain to you why you no longer sound like every other band and if the band thinks they are "selling out" by not doing so
And definitely don't do it if you don't even know any of the music from any of the bands you're talking about. Go pose in a store window if you want to be a mannequin
@@neilpatrickhairless You're 100% right. Despite being cocky and arrogant, Rollins didn't actually create any of the best Black Flag music. He was just one of many vocalists. It's Ginn's band and always has been, but Keith Morris (and Ron Reyes) contributed to the music in the early days. That's probably another reason he's such an asshole, to this kid and generally. He's really just an angry little roadie turd who shouted whatever words he was told to.

And in an alternate universe, Iron Maiden tells Gene Simmons to take off his KISS t-shirt when he tries to interview them.
Best timeline.
There were also some weirdly racial undertones in how Paul was speaking to that interviewer by mimicking his accent. Speaking as a life-long KISS fan, KISS has never been a stranger to looking or sounding bad from one end of their career to the other, and this interview may be them looking and sounding their absolute worst. It's behavior that is nothing shy of inexcusable bullshit that I refuse to support.

Interesting thing about the sex pistols interview: Apparently, it was common knowledge at the time that the BBC did a lot of their interviews a pre-recordings so they could edit out the bits they didn't want (vulgar language, nudity, etc, etc), but on this occasion they did the whole thing live and the sex pistols didn't have a single clue, so when the interviewer was goading them on, they didn't realize that it was going to be live and so were shocked themselves when they found out after the fact.
BUT! Instead of wussing out, they went one step further and managed to get ahold of the telephones that answered viewer complaints and answered each phonecall with "This is the BBC, do fuck off."
Steve Jones did say though after the fact that had he known it was all going to be live, he wouldn't have swore so much, but by that point, after all was said and done, he and the others just kinda went "fuck it" and just went along with it all. Say what you want about the Sex Pistols, but you gotta admit, that's pretty damn punk right there
Also, the one woman laughing and standing behind the Sex Pistols is Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees.
The interviewer, Bill Grundy, said that he was drunk during the Pistols' appearance.
Didn’t the old fart make a pass at Siouxsie? Isn’t that why he was called a dirty fucker etc?

I remember laughing for like 15 minutes straight the first time I watched that. It's like when you feel a pain in your chest and expect like a heart attack or an alien exploding your chest to gain freedom at any second, then you just fart and get better.

thats his real beliefs though, you can laugh at it, but he legit believes in it. funnily enough, he's actually a nice guy believe it or not. very chill. but yeah, i don't think he's joking around with the satanism stuff.
I don't really care about what he believes, I only think that the one word answer was just to look badass/smart/awesome and it backfired in my opinion. Could've done better than that if he really wants to make a point. After all if you give an one word answer you will certainly get a follow up question, which he also answered with a single word.

Ted Nugent being the ultimate nice guy.
Come on now he took kids fishing Maria! 😂
if that is his nicest side, i don‘t want to meet him when he is really angry.
I remember as a teenager seeing a magazine with Ted Nugent in it hairy and naked with just a guitar to be decent and I gotta say I was grossed out 🤮🤮🤮didn’t become a fan. I mean sure express yourself but don’t expect any women to become fans lol
It's all out of context if you dont see the whole interview. Interviewer was being a negative dick because he had different political views and a agenda to promote.
@@benjaminaxselholm Ikr it's amazing how many smoothbrains in the comments are trying to say that just because Ted got pissed off while saying he's a nice guy, somehow that makes him disingenuine or an asshole. Like nobody has the right to be pissed off if they're being attacked/targeted/insulted as if they are an asshole when they really aren't?
I seriously thought kiss was joking at first but oh my god… thats sooo fucking sad
I never heard of poppy before but from what I saw of her in this video I’m left with too many questions about her mental state 👀
She is just being "random" and "quirky". Never cared for herbut recently she did a song with Knocked Loose and that was pretty 🔥
Courtney cringing Madonna out is the best thing I've seen in years.
what's the Madonna hate all about? guessing millennials are offended by actual talent that came from the 90s
@@adamt5 madonna can't write a note or verse....
@@adamt5 Are you sure you didn't mean Gen-Z ... I don't know if you realize but millennials are from the 80s and 90s... ranging from the ages of 26 - 41.... and most of us love grunge, rock , and music that actually has depth and artists that write their own music . Labeling someone a Millennial is actually flattering .
ATTENTION!!! JESUS CHRIST IS COMING!!!! IF YOU DIED TODAY, WHERE WOULD YOU GO??? HEAVEN OR HELL??? Jesus loves you and can forgive you of any sin that you have ever committed. Repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you will have eternal life in Heaven. ROMANS 10:13 Any one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
@@adamt5 Nah that's Z (this is coming from a Z). A lot of millenials love Madonna because she was part of their childhoods in the 90s. I remember my sister really liked her and had a collection of CDs. I think most people's gripe with her is that she never wrote her own music (which, by that logic, makes celebrities like Beyonce just as bad but I digress). I don't think the comment you're replying to is hate btw, it was just a funny and unexpected celebrity moment.
I bet if Ace had been there he would've laughed his ass off at Gene and Paul's petty bullshit.
Definitely
I love that Never Shout Never interview 😂 a classic
5:10 Never shout never gets all self righteous and tries to shame the interviewer and now nobody has ever heard of the ex-band. Poetic.
I've never heard of this band either.
It's the guy in the red shirt who's the asshole. He was very condescending and tried to skewer the interviewer with ridicule, especially at the end where he points at him. Really tried to humiliate the interviewer.
Watching these interviews, there's a lot of abuse of power on the part of these musicians. Most of these interviewers seem to be hardly known, and to therefore have very little power and authority to balance these "stars."
I bet he's currently talking shit to customers at the Burger King where he works the midnight shift.
I still don't even know what the problem was that the band got so passed about
Say what you will about Courtney, but that Madonna interview was iconic 😂
She pulled a Jane Mansfield on Sophia Loren on her.
It was amazing.
It's behavior like this that polarizes reactions to Love. She doesn't hold back. There seems to be no filter, regardless of whether it's someone famous and powerful such as Madonna. Love once made some half joking comments about Harvey Weinstein back in the day, way before he was exposed. Some people admire that frankness. She just ignores social conventions, no matter how formal or important the occasion is. And the drama that follows makes for compelling entertainment. I think that's partly why people like her, or are fascinated with her. You can expect the unexpected.
And on the other hand, this incident demonstrates Love's lack of regard for the feelings of others, and her compulsion to upstage others and grab center stage. And that's part of the set of behaviors that make many hate her.
@@SY-ok2dq C's messy, but far from stupid.
@@SY-ok2dq she definitely loves to be the center of attention along with going to the extremes to get with a man she's into & likes to control those around her as well, 🤔she absolutely had cold blooded heartless selfish intentions alongside hateful feelings for & planning out beforehand how to be getting her hands on her late husband's royalties. (as divorce gets her very little) 😉
"I'M A DAMN NICE GUY!" Says the worst guy.
Actually I met Ted and he was very nice to everyone. Stood and chatted with us and signed our tshirts.
@@mamamac70 Yay. Bravo. Happy for you.
@@AhNee Thanks. 😃
The Killswitch Engage interview was painful...but, hilarious.
Kurt Loder's face when Madonna leaves and Courtney Love stays. Priceless.
Yes!
Even Madonna thinks Courtney is nuts,
“Well, we’re here with Courtney now” 😂
I believe.... "A Compilation of Extreme Arrogant Ego-Maniacs Who Lose It While Being Interviewed" would be a more appropriate title for this post....and some appear sober....what a joy to interview these artist who all are in need of self-relection and serious intervention by the Heavens....
That killswitch interview is still the best thing i've ever seen
I don't understand Kiss. I'm Gen X and I have no idea why they're famous with such mediocre music, at best.
It's mostly the shock factor and gimmick that carried them as far as it has. I will say that Kiss has a few great songs. But they are mostly just a gimmick and not much else. Pretty much the Cardi-B of their time
I'm not denying they're assholes but I saw them live and they fucking murder dude. Their live shows are awesome.
Smart marketing, that's it. They're no different to the likes of One Direction or whatever manufactured boy band is doing the rounds at the mo'.
They were a live show band, they’re music is mediocre but they did amazing live performances
See them live. Their studio is weak.
I don't know how anyone can make a video like this without including a Lou Reed interview.
I felt bad for the guy interviewing "Never shout never", it really went from 0to 100 for him.
Don't bryan stars Is a horrible person
Don't really like the band buttttt yeah that interviewer deserves it!
@@sbeqstion Ahh... I typed his name in Google and the next word after was "Drama". That's all I needed to know lol
Yeah, I might have been living under the rock this whole time, but I've never heard of these guys up until now, and they act like Kiss or someone like that
the dudes are actually cool. This clip doesn't show the whole context, but basically Bryan stars got carried away making jokes and that took the seriousness out of the interview. Chris was trying to tell Bryan to respect the artists's time and pay respect to their craft. Unfortunately he ended up being a dick to other people down the lane in his creative endeavors.
I find this little bit of this Phil Anselmo interview kinda funny actually.
He's having a laugh
"FELLATIO" that one got me 🤣🤣
That “I’m busy selling out, and gotta get backstage to my women and my Cocaine.” bit was so fucking golden it almost makes up for him being such a prick. I heard him say he actually feels bad about grilling this kid like that.
Who even is that
First I thought what a badass then I realized it’s just an asshole
@@poopstain5216 Henry Rollins, former singer for Black Flag.
It wasn't just the grilling of a teenager. The despicable action was the knocking of the mike on that poor kid's forehead. He had no idea that was coming and Rollins absolutely overstepped the line. That's something cartoonish bullies would do in 80s films like "Back to the Future."
The interviewer was just a teenager, and Rollins had the power in this situation. That was humiliating, doing that in front of others, in front of the cameras.
Somebody should have stepped in and made Rollins apologize to the kid. Makes me want to wrench that mike from Rollins' hand and bash his forehead with it.
@@SY-ok2dq watch whole interview before judging... the kid told him he sold out , and if you know Rollins you know thats probably the worst you can say to him ... thats why he said he needs to get backstage to hookers and cocaine... educate yourself before giving comments ...the kid got what he deserved .
You have to remember, Gene is all about the BRAND of Kiss. To him, that T-Shirt was like someone caught on camera drinking a Coke in a Pepsi commercial.
But then he goes to point out that “we took them on their first tour” so really it’s like someone drinking a sprite in a coke commercial. Made by the same company, there’s just one guy being a pedantic prick.
@@andrepereira744 What's a lame excuse? I am just telling how Gene is, I am not defending him. I strongly dislike him.
And now Maiden fucking smokes them.
@@zacharyradford5552 Maiden always has smoked them in my opinion but that doesn't change the fact that Gene is Gene.
Gene has always been a pathetic man in my eyes
Ok that Liam Gallagher appearance was quite funny. "I just eat burgers", plus pointing at LG haha
The poppy interview was the cringiest interview I have ever seen!
I've never heard of Poppy before this.
Think she's being weird on purpose. Still dumb af.
@@thedude4672 yeah I never heard of her either.
@@thedude4672 Well, she is a singer, idk much about her, but in the past when she was making pop music, she was being manipulated by her partner Titanic Sinclair, and that's why she is acting weird in that interview, she is supposed to be a character that was created by her partner. Now that she is no longer with him, she does metal music and sometimes 90s alternative music, she also writes and produces her own songs. Sorry if you don't understand that much, I don't speak English very well.
@@palemoon7865 , You just wrote perfect English. Lol
Phil is so chill and you can tell hes joking. That wasnt uncomfortable at all.
Yeah bro I wanna hang out with Phil 😂
you realize the interview was actually made by those who made this list? I think they are the right man to judge if it was uncomfortable or not lmao
@@QuickZ_ you realise what one person does in the company doesnt equate what the rest think or do right?
Yeah I think he's just "bro bonding"🤣😵💫
which one is phill?
Phil Anselmo is hilarious 😂 "Wanna fight me? I just feel that you do" 🤣🤣🤣
I actually lol'ed at that one! Phil was the shit in his day, still a raging fan of Pantera! HOWEVER.... Betcha he wouldn't have behaved that way to someone that wasnt a nervous little kid. I did hear, unfortunately, that he's actually a sissy mary
@@trishlong7702 come on, spill! You can’t leave us hanging like that without context!
Feel like most of these moments could have been avoided if when an interviewer asked a question, the artist actually had an answer and didn't get defensive when they had nothing to say lol.
System of a Down guy is a true “Try Hard”
Daron is a maniac i swear 😂
Daron is one of those people who desperately want you to think that he's interesting.
Fellatio
I'd say more "high off his ass"
Love this channel
Phil Anselmo goes from the crackhead at the bus stop to your best friend you've known since childhood on a dime and it's great.
On a dime?
Unpredictable, violent, big hearted warm loving face punching character.

"more about the art and less about the scum"
Wtf are you talking about? Alls he asked was how your new album is going to be different than your others or others out there at the time. Never listened to never shout never and now i think i never will
I hear ya, but... funniest part by far hahahaha
Kiss members thinking they are better than Iron Maiden is the most hilarious thing ive seen on the internet lately lol xD
The Phil interview when he started cracking the kids knuckles was priceless 😂😂😂🤜🏻👊🏻
Tbh the Killswitch interview was funny. You can see the kid's soul dying as he bombs more and more.
Was the interviewer just nervous or was he on speed? The not eating in days thing would fit with the latter.
honestly if you find that funny I hope one day youll get humiliated like that by somebody
Welcome to metal, kiddo. Some of these people will not hold your hand or give you a participation award.
See if you can live with it.
@@EmoEmu right I forgot metal was made for tough guys that feel good about themselves only when they humiliate people
@@16ieebet *made by
You can be soft and still listen to it. ho hum
And, yes, some of the metal guys are gnarly, and some play characters. Cope if you can.
7:15 If I had seen this guy 30 years ago, I would have stayed away from alcohol and drugs.
Forever!
Alot of egotistical bands that don't deserve there fame or there fans time.
