What is your favorite interview you've ever seen of a band or musician?

Question

And why is it your favorite? It could be because it's funny or meaningful or for some other reason.
This wins my vote. It's an interview of Ken Susi from Unearth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akE9oNqbBTY

Answer 1

Here this a Kerry King interview for thrash magazine its hilarious dude http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOeYvMgWQYM

Answer 2

I seen an interview on VH1 from about 2002 with Phil Ansemlo and the guy was stoned off his head. He was blown up and his tone never changed all through the vid even when the pressure was on him to talk about Dimebag. I'd love to give ya a link but twud take forever to find!!

Answer 3

Classic 60 Minutes had an interview with Billy Joel and that is my favorite because he shared a lot of wisdom and made very good points about life.

Answer 4

Being humble in interviews - Sachin, Vettori, Gilly and Inzi. Being open-minded - Kumble, Dhoni, Dravid and Jayawardane Being aggressive - Ponting, Vaughn, Viv Richards and Fleming (likely because of their killer instincts) Expressing - as you're saying Gayle and Clive Llyod

I like all the interviews that were interviewed by Nardwaur.. because they are all pretty funny.



Some of my favorites are Nirvana, The Distillers, The Misfits, and Lars Fredericksen [from Rancid].

He's not my favorite musician, but I find Bruce Dickinson to be pretty funny, so I liked his interviews from a Classic Albums documentary on Number of the Beast... sorry, I can't figure out which one of these it is... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=classic+albums+number+of+the+beast&search_type=&aq=f

Answer 7

Since the McCartney/Chris Farley interview was already said........( that was hilarious ! )

Janis Joplin and silent film star Gloria Swanson on Dick Cavett around '70



Two bizarre ends of the enterainment spectrum.
