GOD Interview on ABC's The Factory (1988)

[@angklungeds]

this is the greatest australian music interview of all time

[@beaksofeagles]

Totally! Great to see Karen too.....

[@volksy7261]

Awww those fellas. Loved them. So sad we lost two of them so early. They are bloody hilarious. Exactly what the late 80s needed.

[@theparisend]

2:30 - this is the BEST attitude towards supporting acts EVER

[@billymack333]

Good to see GOD supporting a young Chopper.

[@johnnyrotten5507]

Amazing.......these young kids are cool, calm and acting as if they are superstars..........good on them. Great to see

[@GurneroMaelstrom]

they are superstars

[@BarklyMitford]

Sean’s ‘unreal’ and Tim’s rock n roll awakening are just another two reasons to miss those two. They were truly truly awesome guys all round.

[@evilotis01]

bless Karen Leng, too. Melb broadcasting royalty

[@myultimatemixedtape]

R.I.P Tim ❤ This was great though! Thank you Love this band

[@BarklyMitford]

You can’t buy me money but you can buy me love. God bless ya Timmy.

"Let no one say we haven't suffered" !..lol awesome

[@davehinnrichs3433]

Absolutely brilliant

[@Paradoxisthefingerprintofgod]

Greatest band of all-times. I have listened to their songs like millions of times probably. AUSTRALIAN ROCK AND ROLL IS JUST BEYOND - THERE IS SO MUCH SPACE AND DEEP DEPTH TO IT.

[@mscamillajackson]

awesome. Love this

[@kylebookout1789]

Classic. Absolutley classic.

[@hairybalut5047]

What a great interview , very funny . Its a shame , why do the good die young ? Probably the same reason i am still here . Tim was a awesome human

[@pabloisusi6097]

As Wipers said: all the good die young!!! Dunno if they were into Wipers..but maybe. Similar vibe.;)

"Mr. T taught us that". Jesus these guys are smart, funny, talented units.

That kid in the front is cool.

[@gloryglory5688]

Very literate for young fellas that probably missed a lot of school, obviously intelligent apart from not realising heroin kills

[@evilotis01]

sigh

[@kayumochi]

From left to right, what are their names?

[@pacovl46]

so from left to right they are? I know the third from left is Joel, but who are the others?

[@craighambo]

Tim,Sean,Joel,Matthew.

[@pacovl46]

Craig hambo thanks, mate!

[@danzigvssartre]

does anyone know is Tim Hemensley was jewish ?.....I know it's somewhat irrelevant, but as a jewish guy who thought these dudes were very cool and ahead of their time, I am curious if Tim was a jew.?....r.i.p

[@dannyinaus]

Tim died of a heroin overdose. The song "The Day They Buried Hemensley" was about Tim and his funeral/death/life etc. And no, he was not a Jew, or at least, he never openly spoke of it or Jews ever.

[@offalpump]

Tim was of English and Egyptian ancestry. Joel is Jewish.

[@beaksofeagles]

His father Kris is a poet and ran a poetry bookshop called 'Collected Works'. It was in the Nicholas Building on Swanston Street. After Tim's death, the shop became a bit of a shrine to him.

[@guinercremers506]

Hahaha GREAT Who is who? My guess the dude on the right is one of the two who died.

[@JORDIMB1970]

+tore punkte from left to right: Tim Hemensley (RIP), Sean Greenway (RIP), Joel Silbersher and Matthew Whittle. I don't know who's the kid on the front. I still have their two LPs, I bought them here in Spain when the band was still running (thanx Ruta66 magazine!)

[@bentv88]

The kid in the front is Joel's brother, I asked him the other day.

[@rhysabela7003]

Sad bit is they are dead now

[@mattpalmer5123]

Joel and Matty are still alive and well!

[@dantonkin91]

I can attest to Matty being 'alive and well'. I was chatting to him today down at the local dog park.

[@chrisdaldy-rowe4978]

1988 is that the best crap you can give us? Any bey those kids at that time are no where in the vacinity of where tyhey think these days in 2021

[@jupiterjude7981]
