That was one of the best if not the best interview I've seen to Steven Wilson. Congratulations to the interviewer, great questions and well driven.

[@sisaktamas]

The host is an exceptional man! You can look up his interview with Nigel Kennedy for example (can't remember others that were in english).

[@Stickerie]

totally agree .. and Steven is just amazing i believe ..

[@johnv4866]

100% agree. Dynamite interview. Maybe I am projecting, but I got the feeling that he, too was heartbroken to hear Steven say that PT is gone forever.

[@damienark5469]

IDK if anyone notices it but the interview guy is actually using therapy techniques in this interview. He even uses Gestalt at one point with the roleplaying. All of his questions are open ended, even challenging for Steven at times. I think that's what makes it genuine and authentic. Blown away by this.

[@HannesRadke]

He creates a dramatic arc, it seems. Very smart.

[@zinastanescu1758]

Damien Ark the thing is, he goes with his qiustions exactlly to the right point.

[@amanarakh6069]

What an absolutely OUTSTANDING interview! Loved EVERYTHING about it. Thank you 💜

[@mariac.9344]

I remember reading an interview with Catalin (the interviewer) a few years ago and they asked him to name a person he admires and he said 'Steven Wilson', I'm really glad he got to interview him.

[@brettmoney7422]

yes, you could definitely hear the respect and admiration for steven in it. this was a very interesting and fantastically done interview.

[@trishamukherjee5996]

I always love Steven's interview, but this is one interview where I loved the interviewer just as much.

[@lilacandgooseberries6653]

Congratulations to Romania and the interviewer for making the best interview to Steven Wilson that I've ever seen. I sat here with my coffee and was absolutely delighted from beginning to end.

[@PieAreSquared]

The interviewer is excellent, I am only half way through the interview but this might the best SW interview I've ever heard. Great job.

[@adrians.basave1282]

Yes… yes he is, I hate when people are interviewed by people who aren't familiar with them; this guy clearly knows his Steven Wilson

[@Lua-420Hertz]

I'm beyond proud that the best interview I could find with my favorite artist ever was made in my home country! absolutely lovely! great questions, great answers. I hope more and more people, especially artists, get to see this and experience his work. This man is pure gold. Bravo TVR, bravo Catalin!

[@csitMusic]

Finally a good interview where we can hear Steven not answering the same questions over and over. By the way, if this man is 51, ¿who's getting old in his name?

[@coldwhitespring5004]

You are born on the exact right time Steven, what on Earth should we have done without you? I only listen to very few bands, and you are one of them. The day I discovered Porcupine Tree I was absolutely mindblown, I don't know if I will experience something like that again in my lifetime. You are really a unique musician

[@xruraldustx]

I think this too. I wish I could relive the high moments where I discovered music like his. It was so beautiful and sublime in a way.

[@JayBaggio]

Agreed. I got into Porcupine tree only this year (2022) and I often wonder if I would prefer if I knew them back in the era of Absentia-Blank planet so I could enjoy the band in their younger prime years (and in my 20s) but I prefer not to, because otherwise I would have no "new" music to enjoy and be surprised with now. After 2000 there is very little artistic music, so one can only discover "old" bands and start listening to them as if they are just releasing that music today. Is an illusion that helps us survive in an era with no real and serious artists (in any of the arts) but specially in popular music.

[@elenamihaela5655]

Loved the interview with Steven Wilson and found Cătălin's questions excellent.

[@slyfer9407]

The more I hear this guy speak and the more I listen to his music, the more I fall in love with him! What a brilliant human being. Props to the interviewer too, really nice and profound questions.

[@urnasbiovidaleon3102]

Finally!! Someone managed to make a proper interview to Steven. Thank for this

[@awsomepossum210]

Alot of interviewers out there should learn a lesson or two from this interviewer. This is how a proper interview should be done. Hats off to the interviewer and hats off to you dear sir Steven Wilson...

[@PJPsounds]

Well, one of the most engaging interviews with Steven Wilson recently. It's always nice to hear two intelligent men in conversation. Hat's off to Romanian presenter for clear articulation despite interview being conducted in not his first language. And also obviously quite few interesting points made by Steven. Brilliant, well done.

[@marrydruli]

This is the best thing i've seen come out of Romanian tv in SO many years. Proud. Congrats!

[@Vinyl_Maven]

This interview was so insightful and moving for me. I love listening to Steven Wilson speak. He's eloquent, direct, forthright and unapologetic about his strong views. He speaks with such an air of confidence, in general, and especially about his craft. This is possibly the best interview with him I've seen. Cătălin Ştefănescu did a fantastic job. He was really engaged in what Steven was saying and directed the questioning appropriately. It was a great exchange, the two of them conversing. It felt very harmonious and even whimsical in parts. It was an extraordinary interview and made me quite emotional! It made me really revisit, in my mind, how it was I came to discover Porcupine Tree all those years ago, and what it evoked in me. Steven Wilson is pure genius and I hold him in such high regard. I'm very glad that the musical journey he's been exploring stills resonates with me and that I have such a pure enjoyment for his music, that my appreciation for him as an artist is not just riddled with nostalgia and nothing more. I am truly so grateful to Steven and also Mr. Ştefănescu. I'm sure I'll revisit this wonderful conversation between these two again. Now, I'm even more thrilled and excited to see Steven perform twice at the end of this month!

[@ronsimoneau364]

The explanation of the end of Porcupine Tree is very good. This was a very enjoyable interview, with excellent insight in regards to where music is. Wonderful Steven. Thank you.

[@shankhashubhramukherjee3585]

That was the best Interview of Steven Wilson I have ever listened to....the interviewer was amazing and had amazing genuine questions...and I loved his approach to a musician like Steve....and I loved how openly Steve spoke about everything.. I just loved it....❤️

[@ulfingvar1]

Brilliant interview, with intelligent questions and intelligent answers.

[@TheMeyer]

Probably the best interview I've seen to any musician ever, daring to question the invitee, kudos to the host

[@doomsdayastronaut4471]

Great interview! Amazing amazing interviewer too. Great questions and he knew exactly WHEN to talk and when to let SW talk. Excellent job!

[@gallaghim]

Interesting interview, he always gives such concise answers. I liked the set of the program too, unique way of interviewing people.

[@luukve]

Watching in 2022, Steven's confidence at 45:00 is pretty hilarious

[@deepersight777]

If I was a famous musician, I'd have strong cravings to be interviewed by this guy. It must be a blast to answer such sophisticated questions that go beyond the superficial checklists of absent minds. Steven indeed is the right person to have those conversations with. This interview could have lasted another 5 hours and I'd still wished for more.

[@francescodomenichetti3787]

I think that's one of the best SW interview ever, thank you!

[@doctorpopa]

Surely must be the best interview I've seen with Steven Wilson, thanks to the great host Cătălin Ștefănescu! Thank you Mr. Ștefănescu for such great questions. I have been a fan of Wilson's since 2010 and I haven't seen anything come close to this depth of questions and answers in any of his interviews. Two wonderful human beings in a room can inspire an entire population.

[@progreviews]

Am I the only one hearing that very high awful noise?

Is it the terrible sound of muzak? :D

[@Jerry_29]

No.

[@climaxx]

I don't hear any background noise.

[@NucaAlex]

the only one not hearing it was the sound engineer

[@DaJesta088]

Best Steven Wilson interview I've seen. Also, I totally agree with him regarding Porcupine Tree. If you listen to the PT discography from start to finish, you can see that they're scraping the bottom of the idea barrel with The Incident. I think The Incident was great, but it just pales in comparison to masterpieces like Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia and FOABP. Even the centerpiece, Time Flies, is a really good song, but it simply isn't in the same category as Anesthetize, Arriving Somewhere, Even Less or Russia on Ice. Steven hasn't disappointed me yet, so after all these years I trust his artistic decisions.

[@abhigyanchatterjee]

Superb interview! Loved every second. Fascinating to get into the mind of SW. One of the best music interview by miles. Kudos to the interviewer for making this a unique un-cliched discussion

[@vapeymcvape5000]

*THIS* is how to conduct a great interview!

[@KeyboardLife]

Great interviewer. Well thought questions

[@davidoflazarus4601]

I love listening to what he has to say and I have never disliked anything he has done. But every time I’ve met him I’ve spoke so much shit because I never know what to say..hope he is working on new stuff I’m sure he is he loves it and as for his voice I don’t think he realises how brilliant his vocals are now it’s not power it’s hypnotic and fits so well .

Wonderful! Thanks for an OUTSTANDING interview!

[@surya-ravi]

Eloquent questions and the interviewer was not afraid to challenge Steven at all which actually got the best out of him. I expected the last question to be something else though. That's been answered enough and it's time to move on people. His solo records are equally amazing, if not even better

[@rharding13]

The talk about how people imagine Steven Wilson being a melancholy person reminds me of Roger Waters. He also had that reputation, reflected in things like the satirical (and hysterical!) Secret Diaries of Roger Waters that appeared on Usenet in the mid '90s. But if you listen to the commentary track on the The Wall movie DVD, you realize he's actually hilarious. It's worth listening to just for his impression of Bob Geldof's accent. Also, Steven's enthusiasm for Tangerine Dream's Zeit inspired me to check out that album, and I have to say, I love it too. I was very pleasantly surprised when I recognized some of it being used as background music in episode 2 of the TV show "The Terror".

[@feelgood2178]

Nice interview, good questions and answers that have not been already heard a thousand times, well done. But please Mr. Wilson, PT was surely not only your masked solo thing. It was good to give control to others musicians, in my opinion PT have been that brilliant because the others made good songs great by bringing in their incredible skills. I do like the solo stuff and the current band members, but while see you playing the PT tunes these days on stage, Gavin, Colin, Richard and John are hardly missing... Well, we should look forward, but please honour what the others did to the songs and don‘t always talk about your backcatalog only....

[@Cr8Tron]

Was there something more to read, just after it says "backcatalog only..."? I imagine that KZbin isn't allowing me to fully read your post?

[@feelgood2178]

[@akarshjainable]

Who is the interviewer?

[@lucullus_FR]

His name is Cătălin Ștefănescu and he is one of the best TV hosts on the Romanian National Television (public station, not private). His cultural show, "Garantat 100%" ("One hundred percent guaranteed") is in deed a gem, because it's not about a certain theme, it's about people from a lot of fields. He had on his very longevive show a lot of interesting people, artists, athletes, writers, psychiatrists, actors and many more, most of them Romanian, but also internationally famous people, including Armand Assante, Joe Cocker, Sarah Brightman, Nigel Kennedy, Steve Vai, Duke D'Argyle etc.

[@JayBaggio]

Love Wilson's philosophy but like any other great man, he can be wrong. Floyd and The Beatles are defo NOT POP. They are popular tho, which is not the same. Early Beatles yes, pop group but no pop band writes an album like Abbey Road or Revolver, total different Universe and way beyond the talent of the greatest of pop "artists". Let's give rock artists their due respect please

[@hazardousjazzgasm129]

Revolver is a pop album sprinkled with psychedelia

[@tritile]

15:57 "I was born in 67... the year of Sargent Peppers"

[@davidsanderson5918]

I partially take back what I said. The answer he gave to the last question was a revelation to me...particularly his opinion on PT's last album. I agree with him. It was a backward step. I liked it for a few weeks but then eventually gave it away. It sets off and ends up nowhere which is ironic given its title. Fair play to him moving on....I prefer Bass Communion to all his other stuff anyway.

I can really identify with many of his thoughts ("Sometimes I think I should been born twenty years earlier"). But every musician today has to deal with the same reality of the music market. Of course you can get depressive, but what would it help? So I think you should just concentrate on your mission: Making awesome music. Everything else is of secondary importance (Except if you have to make a living from music today. Then I have really mercy with the aspiring artist)
