Coil - John Balance & Peter Christopherson Interview @ Radio Inferno 20/06/2001

[@tylerthomson218]

Coil is not so much a band to as much as they are a friend. I'll lose touch for a while but always reconnect, and in the process find wonderful things in it that I had not yet grown into before.

[@misanthrophex]

Coil is an alchemical reaction that is still going, even after the master invokers have passed away themselves.

[@dannycheesums]

I never met John but I love him so much

[@janklaus2594]

Coil's interviews always opened my brain and my heart.....

[@za22by]

Had the great privilege of meeting Peter and being invited to his flat in Chiswick, London umpteen years ago, rats in glass boxes et al. Truly inspirational, he even let me view private vids....

[@grubbn]

What were the vids?

[@chapster85]

I'm guessing these videos had illegal content on them. He encourages everyone to act out all urges and feed there demons. Listening to their lyrics, I can't imagine the urges he has acted out

[@balance1182]

Really good interview. Jhon balance was such a smart and talented man… it’s a pity he died at such a young age

[@jasonwittmer5257]

Great upload! When explaining Coil to someone who has never heard them, Ive always use the phrase "music that is more than music". The intentionality and magic is so apparent, it really cannot be mistaken. amazing to hear Jhon and Sleazy speak to those intentions.

[@deckardplisken]

What a great interview with one of my favorite bands. I so wish I could've met these guys.

[@JustinGreenewald]

John and Peter are so endearing

[@replicated-TV]

Miss them both so deeply

[@ArthurDecker1970]

Great interview! Thanks for uploading! I like this because they get into the more theoretical and magical aspects of Coil as opposed to the technical, musical, or historical. I would like to hear or read more along these lines. Somewhere, in some dusty corner of a house, are the journals and papers of John Balance. Perhaps they will be published one day. Another thing that struck me about the interview was John's optimism and excitement...wanting to meet people and planning the future. Alas...

[@Nathanatos23]

WoW this is fucking great!!! Ah, a great fan of Coil first listening to this after years of musical appreciation. Truth.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

" Do you understand the word `cryptic`? " - answer : " Fuck yeah ! `Into Crypts of Rays` !!!!! "

[@PhilBrammer]

Thanks for this. That's a sub. :-)

[@PEGGLORE]

Bet there was a load of messed up jokes going around about him losing his balance when he died, quite ironic though gotta say.

[@Liquidreflective]

I feel like he would have approved of that sort of humour

[@darkmadder9897]

Yes, for such a brilliant artist, he died in such a pathetically stupid way, falling while drunk. Yet here he says "accidents are not accidents..." So there it is. Peace out, bro.

[@John_F898]

Did they ever get to play at Beachy Head?

[@chatbury]

its coil today

[@c.fanger5083]

They were fucking geniuses. I wouldn’t say that about any other musician…. Ok maybe Edward ka spel. But not in the same way

[@kazimullerisnotafraid959]

Damn it! i almost forgot about radio inferno. Anyone knows if it`s stil "on air"?

[@mark000888]

Geoff must be really drunk in this, he seems much more upbeat than in all the other interviews.

[@saoirsecruise6713]

Yep, I was thinking the GABA got him in this 😢

[@bgggsht]

19:28

[@CryptycBau]

John looks like Barney from Napalm Death.

[@mikeofdoom]

Hahaha, that was my first thought on seeing that picture!

[@gilsaraiva2830]

´ Alcoholic Jhonn ` does actually

[@schizoid6673]

Two very lovely personalities and great artists on the fringe.

[@terrypussypower]

What was the "interesting question" that "created about 3 records" at 21:43?

[@amphitheatre]

i normalized the audio in goldwave so jhonns not drowning her question out as much but i still can't hear it really "talking about silence.... blind" "blind?" "have you ever thought about silence"
