guided by voices :: mtv interview 1996

gbv interviewed by matt pinfield at the whfs festival in washington dc in june, 1996.

[@mimickick]

I love the talk about the Matador solo albums because I remember being 15 and being so into them and having so little money and having to choose and deciding to mailorder the Pollard "Not In My Airforce" LP. And yet I read an interview later where Bob said "the label tells us not to release so much stuff because the kids can't afford it. That's not true." It was so true!!! I wanted the first GbV box set so goddamn bad...

[@TheTractormenvideos]

It's always strange to see GBV in an interview like this. I'm used to only seeing Pollard drinking and wailing into the mic. I love them.

[@TheTractormenvideos]

They did belong on the main stage!

[@Prodigiousguy8]

They should have been main stage.

[@oscartravis5740]

Does Greg Demos have any other pairs of trousers (pants) ?

[@antifolkhero]

Fuckin' Matt Pinfield knew about GBV all along. One of the non-MTV traitors. Thanks for posting.

[@RawkGuitars]

You are right...they did one in '95 for "WHFS Dave's Garage". This clip title has been corrected to 1996...June 1st, 1996 to be exact. Thanks.

[@robertwoodworth7819]

Best band ever

[@mwhit34]

Poignant mention of the dual solo releases. Beginning of the end for this classic lineup. Lucky to have seen them a dozen or so times, with various bass players. Was Mitch in jail?

[@stonedcomedianringo]

Looks like the WHFStival with GBV was in 1996, not 1995. Thanks for uploading all these vintage clips!

[@renstafari]

Don't get me wrong - love GbV - love Demos' pants. The Pants! Saw him split them wide open in Austin. Greatness.

[@markhower8986]

Like how Pollard mentions a Kiss relaese along with his own. Great times !!

[@SclafaniBagni]

back when MTV was Music Television!

[@tjs6025]

Don’t kid yourself, it sucked then too

[@uggghhh1]

[@mattvt00]

Was this the tour that Kevin got stabbed trying to buy crack in DC?

[@dmtsymphony]

[@Ant57fr]

@satanspenis999 I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@MrJesseSmall]

its great to see how rob reacts to the worst questions(by the inviewer. i would have payed the whole price of whatever shit fest they were playing at , just to see gbv teach everyone else how to do it!

[@mwhit34]

I think so, but were are too few of us. Should have been many more, WTF!

[@theyoungflyer]

send in striped white pants

[@rohanso]

@satanspenis999 no it isn't

[@bozotosco]

10 albuns haha

[@SubconsciousGatherer]

Which Baskin & Robbins is Matt Pinfield working at these days?

[@renstafari]

Actually, I find Matt Pinhead to be quite the tool. He managed not to call the band GVB this time! Good for him.

[@mattvt00]

me 2, was bad ass, much better than sorry ass No Doubt playing the main stage.

[@steplo01]
