thirwell has legitimately great comedic and acting abilities. going off his no wave cinema cred and interviews like this one, he should have been scouted by hollywood and end up in a tarantino film
That was hard to watch. Shaking all over. Fantastic, badass attitude visibly ruined by way too much booze and drugs. I read somewhere he said that alcohol ruined a lot of his projects. Cool that he’s clean nowadays.
When I seen foetus on that tour w ultra bide and halcyon,ultra bide hung w me n my brother all night,then after jg came out,and chatted w us,he was so tiny.i asked him bout appearing on the argyle park lp,a Christian industrial supergroup,which had guys from drown,circle of dust,mortal,etc. Thought it was odd he was on a Christian bands lp
I love his early stuff when he was an aussie, but what's rediculous corney faux american voice he's putting on here! He must be embarrassed about this interview now surely!
7:38 If you're gonna brag, you better have something woth bragging about. Feet-Us Thirwell, meh. Now Mark E Smith, he really had something worth bragging about: th-cam.com/video/ApCTKt0-Fz4/w-d-xo.html

I love Jim's sense of humor. This interview cracks me up!
I met this man today. I saw him and ensemble in Shepherd's Bush a week ago. Synchronicity of the gods.
I remember this interview very well, but I wasn't aware of who Foetus was back then! Only two years alter I bought Hole and Nail and was in awe!
All to rare interview from the enigmatic JG. Never compromised even when he released "Gash" on Sony for one album.
0:54 my new go-to quote
MTV Europe always had the good shit
So much of this didn't end up happening, makes me sad. Too ambitious for this earth.
I know. I was thinking the same thing
much still going on thou
JG has the weirdest accent I have ever heard. Honorary American.
You know he's originally from Melbourne, Australia?
Per Oskar Storholm i think he meant his accent sounds american maybe?
Melbourne > London > Brooklyn
Australian normally, but putting on an American (non-specific) accent for dramatic effect!
That was hard to watch. Shaking all over. Fantastic, badass attitude visibly ruined by way too much booze and drugs. I read somewhere he said that alcohol ruined a lot of his projects. Cool that he’s clean nowadays.
I think the "badass" attitude is partly ironic satire of American Rock bands, and partly a cover for his shyness.

When people spend enough time in another place for long enough, their voice changes.
Accents absolutely change, weaken ect
he doesn't sound American to me, but it could be the other guy's accent screwing with me
