Great comment!!I don't believe people could indulge these guys doing this in 2015. This is pre-Internet and it was a terrific time creatively for those with access to a medium, the rest of us watched, and we had plenty of time to watch. I watch again now, in the vain hope I will be reconnected.
“So how old are you?” “23.” “Really? ‘Cause you look a lot older.” “Oh yea? great.” “You look like about 45.” “Yeah. I kinda feel like 60.” “Oh yea?” “Sometimes... yea.” “That’s cool.”
beck was and still is a total rebel. the story of him gigging at a bowling alley and taping the keys so the music would keep playing and leaving, going home then calling the bowling alley and telling them to put the phone up so he could tell them he has already left the set. Just cracks me up.
He might seem like a fake, but he's done some pretty good music. I hate the loser song though, which was my first impression of him. But he's a genuine talent.
@@harolddutton5148 fuck are you talking about? What a garbage take. Also i'd go as far as to say that these guys were way ahead of their time on the humour level, this is Gen Z level sarcasm.
@@RainbowRoadCrashTest He was trolling Beck because Beck was acting like a toddler. This interviewer has got the exactly same mindset like Beck himself, just that he is a couple of decades older.
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen, really profound and emotive, specially the moment when Beck, whose real name is still a mistery to me, throws that shoe away! And the hi five at the end almost made me cry, beautiful. That’s cool
What I love about this Interview is that at 1:44 Beck actually name-dropped one of the most obscure artists for american audiences and if they bothered to look it up, they would have stumbled upon a german Schlagersänger with shades.
I have a copy of the Sub Pop "Steve Threw Up" 45 with Heino on the cover... Well it's actually just a Heino album cover with BECK slapped over the title lol. A prized possession.
Thurston: What is exaclty your real name? Is it Beck? *Beck throws his shoe away* Thurston: Ok, and another question that i wanna to ask you... FUCKING EPIC
I love how Beck just didn't care about whether his song or video were big hits, like everyone else. He just had fun with the interview and saw it as a chance to be really creative. He answers to one man: himself. One of the all-time best interviews ever!
Especially considering how much different types of music he made. He went from mellow gold to mutations. It's almost as if he was actively sabotaging himself
This is sure one of the greatest interviews out there. Topped maybe only by a few Captain Beefheart interviews and Beck's own Hi Octane Interview from 1995.
Obviously the interviewer didn't do his homework on Beck at all . Yes his name is Beck . No he is not interested in speaking about religious beliefs. Yes Beck was there to talk about his New Album. The reporter was rude by saying that he ( Beck ) looks like 45 years old at least Beck has a great sense of humor in his come back to the reporter 😂😂😂✌️🤘👍👍😂😂😉 😂
@@natashabenitez7650 It’s Thurston Moore mate, you know guitarist & singer from Sonic Youth & probably a big influence on Beck? They were probably well acquainted with each other. Obviously you haven’t done your homework.
I remember saving up my money to buy blank VHS so I could sit by the TV and wait for my favorite video's to play and record them, or my favorite band to be interviewed. It was a pain in the ass compared to everything being at the tip of your fingers, but I wouldn't trade those memories for anything in the world. I miss those times.
Hello, I want you to know just how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you for your love and support. You are a true fan, and I am so grateful for that.

I don’t give a shit what anyone says. This interview was a thing that happened. Words were exchanged. Battles lost and won in the process. Lives changed forever.
Wow, haven't seen this for years. It is buried somewhere in my VHS collection. Absolutely the high water mark for both their careers, simultaneously. Love it.
The way thurston says “alright” in The scene where beck throws his shoe @ 1:28 is very satisfactory and settling. I wish I could have this sureness in my voice every time I responded to something.

Another video shows the Beck performance, where Beck introduces himself as 'Kim Deal of Sonic Youth...performing 'Song'' while Thurston struggles not to smile as Beck purposely doesn't associate Kim Gordon with Sonic Youth -- plus gives an even better high five.
2021 it's good because you get to see all the interviews, which I missed back in the day. I mean back then informations was not so accessible. beck was crazy dude.

This is indeed a classic. I remember seeing this when it first aired and the image of him throwing the shoe stuck in my head. I did remember it wrong, though.

Kids today have no idea. This is all we knew about our musicians, we didn't follow their every meal on Twitter and have all the mystery sucked out of our experience with them. Lament for the youth of today.
It's like a dead beat dad trying to connect with his son for the first time.
I thought this said “it’s like a *dead* dad trying to *reconnect* with this his son for the first time”
LMFAOOOO

That made me LOL XDDD
Are these two even still alive?
@@ronaldgarrison8478 beck, yes. I dunno about the sonic youth guy
They’re like the younger and older versions of each other.
beck was and still is a total rebel. the story of him gigging at a bowling alley and taping the keys so the music would keep playing and leaving, going home then calling the bowling alley and telling them to put the phone up so he could tell them he has already left the set. Just cracks me up.
I swear to God, Beck and Thurston planned this so they could fuck with the producers.
Bingo!
Duh

Must be.
@@hamc9477 i guess they're taking the piss out of the kind of mundane interviews they'd usually get from journalists

+Steve Christie I was growing up lol
Lmfaoooo...keep it punk
really??????????????????????
I'm under the notion that Thurston Moore and Beck are secretly brothers.
Zeke McIlvain nah see, I think he's actually future beck coming back to shit on his younger self in some meta joke
brother and sister
Damn they have some similarity
Andrew B I know you’re joking but, Beck is like 5’7 and Thurston is actually like 6’6.
twins
The amount of times Moore says Beck is insanely hilarious
Beck Beck Okay Beck Are you Beck Beck This is Beck so Beck Beck See you Beck Beckkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I think it's like a "remember who you are" exhortation, to come back to planet earth and engage with humanity.
Let’s take a shot every time he says it. I counted 15 times
They pay him everytime he says it. If you're so smart why come you didn't know that? Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
I counted either 15 or 16 times
That high 5 at the end was literally the best ending to this interview 🤣🤣🤣
(rock the catskills)
Gen x sarcasm at its peak
Calling this turd "Gen X" is an insult to millions of Gen X'ers. :(

U suck
Nothing like an awkward high five to bring it all home.
"you look like about 45" Beck is 45 now and looks exactly the same..

his real name is just bek, stage name is beck
@@poopingfury5999 He was born Bek but he changed it to have a c in the name, both with his artist name and his actual name
What I love about this Interview is that at 1:44 Beck actually name-dropped one of the most obscure artists for american audiences and if they bothered to look it up, they would have stumbled upon a german Schlagersänger with shades.
or a crazy fucking Noise artist like Haino hahah its genius
@@basedsouljah I don't think it would be a stretch that Beck might like both Keiji Haino and Heino (if only for samples).
