Marianne Faithfull Interview 1978

[@mitzipepall3075]

I love listening to her because she is always frank and interesting.

[@johnmanning5193]

Glad she survived. Broken English was one of the great comeback album covers.

She always comes across a such a lovely young woman and that has stayed until this day, wonderful.

[@paulinebutcherbird]

Agreed.

[@catherinegearhart2102]

She’s Fabulous!!

[@Rossion64]

She was gorgeous- even more so (and I'm making no comment on her life which was very difficult at the time) during the 70's

[@Foxglove963]

Ross. What time warp are you in? This vid was recorded in 1978. Wot?

[@suchabadkitty1293]

​@@Foxglove963Why are u so confused?

[@rebeccawagner4167]

Marianne Faithfull is very frank and to the point whenever she speaks on someone or something. She don't hold nothing back. She loves to live her life to the fullest. She's a great singer. She brought out so many sides of Mick Jagger. But,Mick brought out so many sides of her as well. They could of had it all. Mick just can't stay with one woman and be faithful.

[@Laffytaffy2806]

Wow she looks so ahead of her time here (in a good way, of course). Always a fashion icon she was. She looks like she’s in the 90s here with her hair and purple jacket 😍.

[@amazonionavalon8252]

Absolutely! So laid back, well read, open minded, creative and gorgeous looking too 😍

[@stephaniemccord8677]

Excellent film!

[@squirrelguirrel7010]

So many comments about the smoking and her voice. Chronic illnesses including Laryngitis damaged the vocal chords or rather CHANGED her voice. Fitting it was for emotion within the stories she would tell. Artistic people listen, touch and feel LIFE while others just look, judge and talk .

[@timquinn66]

Thank you for this post ! I've really wanted to see more interviews of her around this time (late 70s and early 80s)

[@animalrevenge1058]

She is so much like Keith Richards in her manners it’s amazing!!!

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

I suspect Keith picked up some of her mannerisms.

[@pedrogroves77777]

Actually whoever put "as time goes by, for her first hit is really correct. It was released as "as tears go by" but originally written as "as time goes by" with the title changed prior to release!

[@verbaud]

Deep into heroin at this point. She survived. Loved her since we were both teens. I still HATE HEROIN. I still love Marianne.

[@angelicasin]

yea thanks for this. it's sometimes hard to bridge the gap between the marianne we know now, and the marianne from the mid 60's, as there is not much footage of her inbetween. we need more!

Too bad "singers" ruin their voices by smoking. Marianne's voice was starting to show the signs of it, but back then, people just didn't know the repercussions of anyting encluding drugs, alcohol. Absoloultly love her music!

[@antidisenstable]

You're right.

[@NatashaArianne]

So, the amount that you have given is made 'obsolete' by doing drugs, etc etc.? What about people who are evil and who have no innocence? Even though she did those things, she still had innocence. It was her heart. A person with evil intent can do nothing but still lack innocence because of their heart. Also, she gave value to others through her voice and. Did she hurt anyone? no. She inspired people through who she was and what she gave. those do not become null because of the things she did.

[@j.2185]

Well, she knows herself very well.

[@Spaseebo]

[@PAULLONDEN]

Wow...this was when she was living rough in Soho.Which led to her great comeback in '79 with "Broken English".

[@jromeo6748]

Surprisingly self aware.

[@judyreeves4029]

Marianne Faithfull was so doped up around this year. But she started to clear up in 1979, and produced Broken English, her comeback album. She's very pretty, but a drugged up bitch, and I'm glad she's cleared up. What a legend who still lives, in rock'n roll

[@verbaud]

More than alcohol & tobacco, heroin roughens the voice as it slacks the vocal chords. And having lived on the street for 2 years in London, her voice got rougher as well. Listen to early Billie Holiday, then her sessions in the 50's she did with Verve after yrs of heroin use. Her voice was quite harsh compared to early recordings. It's a trade off. Marianne chose material that would work with her "new" voice.

[@anamericanprayer1967]

I like your response. Thank you for sharing that information. Knowing the details of specific drugs, helps me understand the person better. Music is brilliant. As are the musicians. Conduits

[@suchabadkitty1293]

​@@anamericanprayer1967Yeah...that "response" in nonsense. Heroin doesn't do anything NEAR what cigarettes and just being a singer in general does. It doesn't "slacken the vocal cords"...what rubbish.

I met Marianne when she and Mick Jagger visited Frank Zappa's log cabin in Laurel Canyon, Hollywood in 1968. They sat in the kitchen with Frank and his wife Gail. Mick and Marianne were like a double act - he spoke, she spoke, he spoke, she spoke. By contrast, Gail never spoke when Frank entertained. She always sat mute, allowing Frank to hold centre stage.

Truth. She has that wonderful, perfect English that makes her music a nice experience. This has become another reason to preserve her music. Good for kids learning English, always thought. A wonder to hear. Pity the interview ends up so abruptly. It's not only what she says, as happens with the best, the way she says it, makes the whole arise, grow up in senses. 💎❤️

A survivor of addiction & the writer of so many songs & she's performed all over the world during her career. Gee's & she's managed to survive the Covid virus . What are you talking about , you do realize we all get older. I'd say a career that's lasted as long as hers deserves a little bit more respect, & a bit of reality.

She was on heroine.

[@rickartdefoix1298]

Yep. During a time she was on heroin. And what about that? - so many in the Art and Culture were - some are or just had been nowadays--than just can't, don't see which is the point to mention it. Can you imagine, or have the least idea of how big is the pressure of having to fulfill the contracts chain, when once in the masses markets of the best music industry? You think they fell in drugs, find their marriages destroyed or even suicide carelessly, just because of being capricious human beings? Should you prefer they were ordinary people going to churches on Sunday and from home to work every single day? - well, happens they are not ordinary people and they just can't neither have ordinary lives. The music industry world does not allow them. They have to tour, record, be interviewed, keep sponsors, compose and write and go on feeding a hell of a lot of people. And so till they manage to save enough money as to retire with the dignity they deserve. Drug themselves during certain time? Maybe it is the least they could do. When trying to flee away from the awful pressure. Think that if common people does it, these people while researching themselves may also be robbed by their administrator or their managers and lawyers and so on. And theirs are big finances under complicated contracts, implying a lot of things if you try to get rid of the contracts chain and break them. They have time for nothing. If you search why they may behave oddily, you surely will see them under the proper light, and understand pretty well. Make a trying. 🙄😉🤔

well, to each their own. but honestly, you sound like a dick. some people do find the ‘smoker’ voice sultry and appealing. it adds something different to the vocals. all of those great legends from the past were smokers. she’s a fucking great musician. but if there’s one thing i can’t stand, it’s a critic, a nobody, who likely doesn’t even play music and they put down others. think you can outdo her? id like to test that theory. these were also times where all that fake ass autotune shit did not exist. these were REAL musicians. she’s a legend. what are you?

Secondly, l don’t think that you’re at the level to discuss about “ cultural issues “ with me and l am not being arrogant at all, l just can see by your “ serious opinions “ about this lady that your knowledge is less than average. Can you tell me where is hidden the information about this “ GREAT musician from the past ?? .... because, l heard plenty of things of her repertoire and l couldn’t even consider interesting, ..... maybe she was really famous for being one of the lovers of Mick Jagger, but that doesn’t automatically maker one of the legends !! 😂 .... she surely got plenty of fans for some reason, but don’t come with this utter tosh, .... GREAT musician ?? ...... would you be able to prove your silly theory ?? I am not a GREAT musician, but my knowledge of Classical and Jazz music, apart from my taste of the REAL GREAT Rock musicians, ....it’s pretty enough to have an opinion about simple things like if “ this lady” is worthy to be called a GREAT musician, because SHE’S NOT .

[@lyramckenzie8550]

row bronco it sounds a bit to me that you are only interested in the mundane and superficial aspects of music, never to give a thought to whats beyond the sounds that are spoon fed through the hot 100 charts. if i didn’t find you here, i would assume you would find joy in the mumble raps and millennial whoops. maybe you do. i’m not sure what counts as ‘real’ rock. unless they are holding a guitar like a handbag or something. but i am fond of various types of music including classical and jazz myself. she was a musician before she met mick jagger. who the f is mick jagger anyway? broken english was a great record, but her early stuff is supreme. far supperior than the band that was stolen from brian jones. many women in the early punk scene were inspired by the likes of marianne faithfull and anita pallenberg, and their legacy lives on. there weren’t a lot of female influences back in those days, especially those who acted like individuals. who are well read, well cultured, and did their own thing. she has two autobiographies, so start there. she’s a huge fashion icon, as well as an actress. we are all entitled to our own opinions, but im doubting you have put much time in exploring who this person truly is. you watched some silly interview at a time when she was spiraling. the excessive HAHAHAs sound extremely chav like, and do not sound particularly intelligent either. they were at the expense of a person who doesn’t really deserve it. i’m from canada, and i have an iq of 130. i was initially half kidding in my first comment, mirroring what you said about her. you made this comment like 8 years ago. i cant exactly ‘prove’ to you what a great musician is because music is suggestive. the only thing i can tell you about what’s ‘good’ and ‘bad’ is the fact modern pop charts are getting less creative, lyrical intellect is in decline, the songs are meant to sound the same, and extremely repetitive. that has actually been proven. but that’s a whole different subject. i just think that your comment was in poor taste.
