Classic Brownie interview on T4 with muppet Steve Jones....

Classic TV moment. I'm sure I'm not the only one who detests this man-boy tosser. www.stoneroses.eu

[@paulmunster212]

I’ve not worked personally with Ian Brown but he was working in the same studio complex as i was with a producer 5 years ago. He was the most genuine, decent, respectful, friendly dude to walk through the door. He was even bantering with my toddler son in reception about football. Absolute legend. Steve Jones has improved over the years but oh… what a cock he was.

[@pjnolan7989]

Met him once after a gig he was playing with UNKLE. Knew the Promoter so we'd kinda taken over his personal VIP area. It was meant for him to chill out in. But he was cool about it. Anyway, Ian Brown, THE Ian Brown, starts strolling up the steps to his VIP & I'm standing at the top of the steps. And instead of saying "loved the gig" or "you were great" I was in such awe that I just blanked. Like absolutely NOTHING appeared in my mouth or head. I just stood their staring at him like a mannequin, with my mouth open in a slack jawed kinda way, & my hand sticking out. But fair enough, he just smiled, said thank you, & shook my hand. So obviously I wasn't the first person to go into complete brain meltdown when meeting him. If anything, his polite laugh made me think it happens more often than you'd think. Sadly I was in my mid thirties when this happened. So I didn't even have the excuse of being young & dumb. But I'd been a fan 20+ years so that's my excuse. He didn't hang around long, but he made sure to say hello to everyone. And no, I didn't attempt a second conversation. Couldn't take the embarrassment of another brain freeze. It was all cool, and a great night. James Lavelle from UNKLE is an absolute legend. Soundest guy ever. We ended up out on a bender with the Promoter, Club Bookers, UNKLE, suppprt DJ, etc for 3 days straight afterwards. It was extremely messy but everyone held their own. What I'd give to be young again.

It wasn't merely interrupting. The middle class no talent idiot asked them if they were writing the same songs when they tried to write new ones. If he had the opinion that some of their songs were the same as new ones he should have asked them about what songs specifically. He then rushed them to answer because he had a question set up and he wanted it answered the way he wanted it answered, which is bad interviewing again. The question claimed they were rivals of other bands and asked them about fighting styles ffs. The posh interviewer was nervous around them and shouldn't have been interviewing them. He didn't even ask about the dance Brown brought up which was answering his stupid question.

Ian was actually spitting facts about the history of music, art, dance, martial arts and the connections. These are messages of inspiration and knowledge, which i would think music fans would want to hear but the mainstream media only want to know repetitive, easy and short statements that mean nothing to anyone listening. It goes hand in hand with the dumbing down of news and education to keep us locked out of facts and locked in to their point of view. Ian is not the only Mancunian that you will hear talking deep and intellectual and want every conversation to be an exchange in knowledge. In our age he is a singer and musician, in the ancient past he would be much more than that, i could easily imagine him as a spiritual leader and philosopher.

[@rhysperegrine5100]

The initial problem is that Steve is clearly a little nervous to be around Ian. He's doing his best but he's a little self conscious and awkward. At this point, Ian is genuinely trying his best to be cool. The first sign of trouble is the fork lift truck moment. Steve is still trying to be polite at that point but it's all a bit odd and Ian picks up on it. It sounds a bit like Steve is really saying: "You can't make music with trucks so stop talking pretentious bollocks". I don't think Steve is trying to say that, but he might have been thinking something like it, and can't really disguise his reaction. Then things ramp up when Ian talks about wonder of all creation. Steve DEFINITELY thinks this is pretentious and he just responds with a sarcastic hmm. At that point, it's no longer just nervousness on Steve's behalf. Now, it's progressing into something else. Things get even more shitty when Steve starts talking about "rival bands". He does that for a reason, knowing that Ian doesn't see music that way and knowing Ian will take exception to it (which he does). He's provoking him at this point. This leads into the capoeira stuff, which is the point of no return. Part of the problem is cultural. Ian is a weed smoker from England who's into his rasta philosophy and pan-African culture in general. Steve is a lager drinker from Wales who's into rugby and pop music. In Wales, if you start talking that way Ian did, about capoeira or anything else, someone's going to take the piss out of you. Steve perceived Ian as pretentious and maybe even a little naive. Ian perceived Steve as cynical and too conventional in his attitudes. Plus, Ian has his own insecurities. On some level he knew that he was being a little silly and that Steve had exposed that part of his character. This might be where the resort to physical intimidation (threatening to attack Steve) came from. It might also have been that Ian was slightly intimidated by the bigger bloke. Ultimately, both men were to blame. But given a choice, I still prefer Ian's idealism to Steve's cynicism.

[@mod4it87]

Both of them were in the wrong here. Brown has given loads of awkward "interviews", and is famous for coming across in them as an overly defensive, uncommunicative twat. The Raw and Uncut "interview" from 1989 with him and John Squire is notorious. Steve Jones was known for being smug, snidey and not an especially good interviewer. First Brown got on the defensive when there wasn't any reason to, and then Jones pushed it in a bid to wind him up. If I'd been Jones, I'd have just ignored the 'you interrupted me' bit, which was just Brown being an assshole, and carried on as before with the questions. Basically asking Brown to dance on a table for him wasn't going to help.

[@roboi2241]

Big difference between real lads pre1995 and media and magazine designer lads that came after.

[@Aqua.man045]

He was talking over Ian Brown. He should have respected him enough to let him finish and not mock him.

[@jaymac7203]

God the memories I used to watch T4 when I lived in my parents house 😭 lol

[@pabstabilly]

This is hilarious. Steve Jones is such a great comparison to the legendary Ian Brown. Quote from Steve's wiki page: "In 2016, Jones began presenting My Kitchen Rules: UK, a daytime cooking game show for Channel 4.............." Contrastingly, Ian Brown continues to inspire and challenge an entire generation of people, spiritually and politically over a span of 3 to 4 decades. Hmmm.... who would you like to spend 6 hours stuck in an elevator with? I only wish Ian had jumped on the table and round-house kicked him to the jaw. "Game over." "I'm going to run away and do a cooking show on Channel 4.........."

You write comments like a pretentious NME journalist

@@jamescricketson9464 Is there even a different type of NME journalist?

[@funkdoubt1]

That smug era of talentless c4 presenters was awful. The mixed race girl was a part of that cohort. Used to drive me nuts. Arrogance kills

[@Superking.Menthol]

Classic TV moment. Gets funnier every time I watch it

[@dantapedeck3642]

Ian Brown should have said this much earlier to this dork: "do you want me to knock you out from here or come over there and do it". This guy was clearly not interested in any response from Ian or Clint. Just another muppet they put in place asking questions to musicians they know zero about! This is what you get...

[@MartySeeks]

Ian believed Steve was needling him, but asking him to demonstrate the Brazilian martial arts moves only had 1 response, and Ian said the right thing to get out of the interview.

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Poor quality interviewer. Don't know his name and never will. There's a reason for that....

[@papasslipper564]

His name is Steve Jones repeat after me his name is Steve Jones. Brownie shat it anyway...

[@HotGeneration200]

For f@#$ sake. Look at the state of Ian Brown. He would need to run around the shower just to get wet.

[@azamjamil6899]

eh?

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

AZAM JAMIL he is saying Ian Brown is VERY skinny 😂

[@PrimeM92]

A typical moment of good old rock n roll style drama! Ian Brown is very deadpan,laconic and pretty aggressive. It would be interesting for an interviewer to let him carry on in his own style without getting unnerved and trying to banter back and take control.

[@vanman757]

There's a large part of it cut out...

[@mikee1107]

ian brown stand up and take a bow he just showed how the media operates making war even in musical camps so he put a stop to it he is the most important messenger sinse bob marley

Monday, November 2, 1998 Published at 13:58 GMT UK Ex-Stone Roses star goes back to jail A judge has sent rock star Ian Brown back to jail and warned that every unruly air passenger will be locked up - regardless of who they are. Judge Simon Fawcus threw out the ex-Stone Roses frontman's appeal against his four-month prison term imposed by magistrates last month for threatening behaviour. He said Brown, 35, who had threatened to chop of an air hostess's hands during a British Airways flight, was guilty of "disgraceful and loutish behaviour".

And it started so well:)

[@kenpudsey6435]

I think Ian got pissed off with Jones when he said get on the table and demonstrate,like Ian was some kind of moron,that's when he lost his rag!

[@citizenseventies6738]

Ian Brown seems a decent, friendly bloke when looking at his interviews - just don't act like a twat when interviewing him or he will read out the riot act. Go, Ian, like Clint as well, top blokes.

[@arsenewenger30]

I can see Ian Brown being one of those people that can hand it out,but he can't take it. Celebrities have such an inflated opinion of themselves,and they think they're above anything and anyone.

[@Witcher58]

Don't want ugly answers, don't ask ugly questions.

[@rtleeson]

I think some words were said before the camera was rolling here.

[@theJapanesegingerninja-fh1kz]

Bell fucking end....

[@DANJONPEARCE]

Love Steve Jones cos of the F1 etc, but there are so many ways he could have gone with this, he could have linked Capoeira with Brazil, a Spanish speaking country and then El Mundo Pequeño, or he could have spoken about those cool Jinga trainers that they wear.

[@vanman757]

They dpeak Portuguese in Brazil mate...

[@smnbee75]

Ian should have sparked Steve, what a bellend... 🙄

[@nakkadu]

What on earth did the interviewer do wrong here?....also Ian brown is tiny and stoned he ain't sparkling anyone lol.

IA.N BROWN, GREAT BRITISH LEGEND, SAME HAS CLINT BOON, Steve Jones, what aTWAT, he should have been honoured to even Breeth the same Air has those 2 Top, Top. Lads.

Why is/was Ian Brown held in such high regard like he is spokesman of a generation second coming of christ? I don't get it.

@Mark Richardson He is like a lot of Mancs I have encountered over the years. A chippy little fucker.

Did you se the interview. Jones is a twit

[@roymckie4330]

You just need to see Ian 👀 after the word rivalry... lmao he was doomed from then on

[@Xythantiops]

Good on Ian. Everthings sarcasm these days- you try and give an honest answer and peolpe try and make a joke out of it.

[@manuelpe1979]

I'm missing some words... "Is that the end of the answer". So, what's Brownie reply (3:29)? Later on.... the answer after "Is any chance (3:38)?"

[@daijones5370]

If that wasn't Ian Brown and just some nobody, not a SINGLE person would defend his actions. Amazing how people can be wilfully ignorant when personal bias comes into it.

[@richarddillon8494]

He was definitely trying to take the p*as though. Kind of like seeing a drunk in the pub saying he does martial arts etc and getting him todo a demo. Egging him on.

[@ValleyRC]

@@richarddillon8494 Yeah it's a bit of both. I think Brown took himself way too seriously but on the other hand, Jones didn't have to try and turn it into such a spectacle. But at the end if the day, Brown knew it wasnt a super serious documentary type show so he should have expected that sort of ant and dec, light entertainment type vibe.

[@peternagy-im4be]

@@richarddillon8494 Browny is a total knob though as most people know.

[@stevecooper3010]

Nice delivery Mr Brown, short sharp a and punchy,

[@Ccm1970]

I can see where Ian Brown was right to be upset tbh. This Jones is too annoying and cuts people off. Very arrogant.

[@TheVimtoMoustache]

"trust me it got worse" How? somebody tell me Brownie capoeirad the streak of piss into submission and he cried like a girl....please...anybody?

[@ursie1986]

It's safe to say this went wrong because of Steve Jones' ego. He explicitly tried to humiliate Brown for wanting to speak for more than a sentence. His precious facetime on camera was being stifled and he tried to make a joke of the smarter man. Total idiot.
