Aw, Ian's mom looks nice! What a sweet old lady.
That unibrow is relentless, just like his vocals.
Their only good song uses Ian
@@rong2912 how does it feel to be so so wrong
@@moss42069 You tell me, since you're the professor in that subject.
@@rong2912 Just because he's a professor doesn't mean he's a mind reader.
@@rong2912you are truly a dumbass if you think Fugazi only has one good song
"Does your mom like it"
"That's an office building."
"Yes it is."
"This apartment building influences my music" "It's an office building" LOOOOOL
"Yes, it is"
I seen Fugazi a bunch a times, but the show they did in the late 90's at the Pallaidium in NYC was most memorable. I was on line and Ian was passing by and I gave the guy a wave, he stopped shook hands and just started bullshittin, what a cool fucking dude. That guy is what being in a band is all about.
We owe that building a huge debt of gratitude.
that building must be like the greatest muse ever
Ian has that "you're an idiot" face on lol
i interviewed ian for an upcoming evens tour in 2007, my first job working for a music paper out of journalism school. we had a 25 minute slot booked; we talked for an hour. he's principled, which puts off some people, i get it. but he was super nice to me, spoke way longer than he had to, didn't give arsey responses to any of my boring questions that i was obliged to ask (fugazi etc) and made jokes the whole time. he's great and i hope i have the opportunity to talk to him one day again.
You probably had a good energy when you asked the questions, so he behaved nicely. It sounds to me that the interviewer has no energy in his voice or no real interest for the band, and he got ironic answers because the questions were silly. He didn't come up as aggressive, just as someone who doesn't have time for tedious people.
ian mckaye with hair is weird
they just love doing interviews don't they
Can't imagine why 🤔
This was fantastic to see! Thank you for sharing.
I live in El Paso, Texas and they were one of the few bands that always stopped here on their tours. And they only charged $5 for the show!
I have a lot of respect for them because of that. They chose to keep the price of their tickets afforadable so EVERYONE can enjoy, together.
Down to earth musicians are the best!
It's all about integrity.
you like at the drive in?
@@dyr234 both of bands also tour Together so yeah i like both bands
@@cutecat3662 really? Fugazi and atdi toured together?
@@dyr234 atdi open for fugazi around in/casino/out era you can check fugazi or atdi Wikipedia.
@@cutecat3662 wow, i know they were huge fugazi fans. That must have been incredible.
I spoke with Ian on one occasion at Gilman St, I'd guess around 88 or 89 and I'd have to say that he was one of the nicest and most genuine people I have met to this day.
I play music because a piano fell on my head when I was a small child... I’ve never been the same since
Guy here looks a bit like Bert from sesame street. :D
Saw The boys in an abandoned church in Texas.... AMAZING
That's awesome.
Damn, why won't Picciotto release some solo material? I love that guys songs..
That got an ActuLOL when he turned round and went 'do you like my music mom? .. yes she does!' Ian MacKaye, what a legend.
Shouts out to Ian McKaye's mama!!!
Rest in peace Ginger.
I can't give you much more than that...
yes fugazi can be seen as aggressive...., i think you can listen to 'aggressive' music without being an aggressive person. Point being, he has his mother side of stage listen to this set and she is 'supportive' of the way he expresses himself. All true musicians create music from life experience and all music lovers enjoy what they can relate too.
i love the shot of Ian and his mom, so you can see how similar they look.
Realest character in all of music........
It may be the 90s but this shit is timeless.
I like how Joe was in the background the whole time but wasn't interviewed...
sooo i guess the camerman never even heard of fugazi before that haha
@clovismcpony In 1988 I talked to Guy before the Lafayette Park show and he was as nice as could be to me, answered my questions about Rites of Spring since I barely knew of Fugazi still as they were so new and told me to have a great day when he had to get ready for their set. This interviewer was just lame.
Wow i finlly learned how to say his last name , but now ive got to deal with "ggee"?
That needed to be clarified
Hey dudes, I just wanted to let everyone know that some buddies and myself made a music magazine that features interviews with Ian Mackaye, Henry Rollins, Mark Arm and Jacob Bannon. You can view it online for free at signed magazine 3 Dot com. We're a bunch of broke college students, so we've resorted to atypical ways of telling people about our zine. Ian is a truly great guy. Cheerz
looked it up & i enjoyed it 👍
so straight to the point but so brilliant...
haha it seems as if an interview were the last thing guy and ian wanted to do that day. i've met them both and they're actually quite nice, genuine and patient human beings. however, I did meet them post fugazi, and this was back when they still had their youthful fire if you will, i guess. it's pretty funny either way, though
@terryowah lawl at anyone who says Fugazi sucks at making music, too bad they are one of the most inspirational bands of all time.
Guy actually reminds me of my cousin lol.
Guy piccioto tired and just give him a honest answer. Awesome
I'm a big Fugazi fan. I know Guy and Ian are joking around. Although some people , the cameraman in particular, does not know this. So the attitude of both really dissapionted me.
Damn mediaburn comes through with another classic
They played 7th St. Entry around this time. Ian said $5 to get in. The venue tried charging $7 so Ian said they would not play until it was lowered to 5.
Ian is really Elias Koteas from Some Kind of Wonderful.
Lets just interview buddy’s mom. She looks so sweet
That being said, exhausted and having this knob with a camera buzzing around would try anyone's patience.
They got it from a collection of vietnam war stories it means a situation is screwed up, kinda like Fubar.
It's also italian slang for "fake" which I think is pretty cool, but I don't think they knew that at the time.
Sweet JEEEBUS!!!! I should be flogged...
Joe Lally is the bassist... lol.
Sorry, i meant Brendan [Canty]. The 2nd drummer on the tour [or at least in the Mpls show] was Jerry Busher...
@chunk1bunk same here, im black, and i like 'em. their bass lines are sick, and the guys voice. i hear reggae and funk influences in their music, so i dont think they are. :)
Guy's eyebrows rule the atmosphere!!!
JW
Love how he cuts the Neanderthal interviewer short.
I love Ian's mum
gotta love Guy's unibrow!
Hell yeah! Same thing happened to me when they played First Avenue in Minneapolis for "the Arguement" tour. These guys are anything BUT jerks when a person treats them like regular guys.
I like this band so much that I overlook how they mispronounce their band name
The other guy in fugazi besides Ian looks just like Bert from sesame street.
The other guy is called Guy
DC PPL... are very straight forward and have A great Sense of Humor!... I like that,.... Met Henry Rollins this year... Ian and Hank have almost the same Mannerisms... its uncanny!
I saw Fugazi in 1990 at a show in the U.K. at an art school in Canterbury (now the University of Kent) . They were exhausted and Ian had flu but still managed to play an intense show . The crowd was a curious mix of hardcore kids , punks , students and a very lively group of travellers /crusties with their dogs . The show stopped at one point because Guy had an altercation with a few of them - there was no violence but it could've happened . Guy apologised from the stage and that was it . Those early shows were so unpredictable as there was never any security, the venues were so low key and Fugazi would always attract a sizeable crowd of disparate kids .
@clovismcpony What else do you want? They were just friendly and honest. The interviewer wasn't Mr Inspiration was he?
Agreed chunk1bunk! Nice to meet a fellow Fugazi fan.
ahahaha guy is so qt
fucking icons
That building does look like something they'd put on an album cover
Just remembered it! "Happy go Licky"... One album though. It was... "will play".. ?
i been reading this back n forth about them being racist or not for the longest while and i jus gotta say this...
am black and live in the caribbean and Fugazi's music is the best i've heard in a long time.. note i said their MUSIC!
ppl need to evolve from this whole "are they racist or not" mentality and jus listen to the effin music yo..
ian looks worried for the sped with the camera
thanks!
0:44... ahhh sweet pure cocaine circa 1980. Too bad I missed it, but fortunately I have a few boulders kicking around :))
You're an idiot.
Uni-brow. When did Bert become a member of Fugazi?
@glorp896 They were giving the interviewer precisely the type of response he deserved.
its a pretty pedantic difference, if'n u take Guy at what he insinuates is some sort of crusade against post modern architecture.
the word Fugazi cames from a 2nd war slang that Italian army used to talk that means "Fucked". This word cames again with Vietnan War but this time was used from american army.
@terryowah There were actually all straight edge meaning they don't do any drugs. Guess jumping to conclusions based on appearances is a better way though huh?
Those sesame street eyebrows. Who can forget that
so funny... why is this SO FUNNY?
@Solid1rock ....cont. There were plenty of people smoking cigarettes outside the show, but he went after the person who didn't have his head shaved, wasn't dressed in all black, and rolled his own tobacco. He was in such a rush to push his straight edge agenda on us that he almost got the shit beat out of him. And what for? Because Ian MacKaye told him to? Because he was concerned about my friend's health or second hand smoke? NO! He did it to try & act the part he had seen others do.
omg MacKaye had hair!
hahaha, this is awesome.
I don't think this video was filmed in 1989, those people don't look that oldschool
I can totally understand how that would turn you off. But think about it. They just want to be looked at as normal people, and signing autographs makes them more than that.
Then it begs the question, why are you watching an interview with him?
...i don't understand the last question of the cameraman...?
its an office building...
@chunk1bunk
Given the significant personal effort the members put into fighting racism in the late 80s. I can't imagine a more ridiculous question. And as Jay smooth says, "don't worry about what they are, worry about what they do." Saying something racist is not the same thing as being a racist. We have to address the former before the latter. But in this case, having lived in DC through that era, trust me, there are no racists at Dischord.
I just don't get it. Natural selection should've weeded you out by now.
Coolest eyebrow ever
Fugazi are not/were not racist. Ian MacKaye is not/was not racist, nor was his first band Minor Threat. Okay? It's REALLY not even a discussion.
wait... so if i go stand in front of that apartment building ill be inspired with musical geniousness? HOLY. FUCK.
hey media burn why the tiny screensize on your website :(
lol yeah. Too bad it doesn't look like they're going to get back together though. I never got to see them live
I don't think he does approve of it. If you listen to the re-recording of "Out of Step", he has a spoken part where he says, "This is no set of rules, I'm not telling you what to do. All I'm saying is I'm just bringing up three things that are like so important to the whole world, I don't happen to find much importance in."
He did... Just cant remember the name of the band. :(
Guy is summoning his John Cassavetes.
0:52 if that guy is name "Guy Picciotto" you ought to read OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE and you laugh
Worder man worder
Yeah, it was an acronym in Vietnam for getting killed in a surprise attack. Stood for Fucked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In.
@Solid1rock Totally agree with you, Solid1rock. The problem was that these "straight edgers" were going around & beating on people at shows because they were drinking or smoking & just generally exercising their human right of free choice. It's one thing to do your own thing. It's another to push your shit on someone else. At a Fear show in '03, one kid comes up to me & a friend and tells us to get lost(my friend was smoking a cigarette), but the overzealous dweeb thought it was a joint.
Funny. Straight-edgers at a FEAR show. How about another Beer, please.
That is it!
Is this the same Ian MacKaye from the right >>>>>>>>>. related videos
guy is one jacked up looking dude
0m30s mom likes it!
AWKWARD
EINBROW
excellence.
Lol they look so annoyed, they clearly did not want to be interviewed.
I'm just curious... did you mean to write LSD? or LDS (i.e. Latter Day Sainta, a.k.a. the Mormons). Because the mormons are a total cult. I just thought it was kind of funny if you meant to type LSD, got it wrong, and actually made more sense with a typo...
