Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull interviewed on GTK - 1974

Jethro Tull's founder and leader Ian Anderson discusses the band's beginning, creativity, and grueling touring schedule with interviewer Gary Hyde of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The GTK (Get to Know) music program was produced by ABC Television, which is a service of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. This interview was conducted on August 12, 1974.

@pykkervots Ian was a massive introvert, didn't like partying or socializing. And going by some comments of his over the years, he's kinda judgemental. I recall reading something with him where Tull were recording in (I think) Monaco, and Ian says "I hate seeing all these vain phonies laying on the beach sunbathing" or something to that effect, and I was thinking "damn Ian, calm the hell down, they're just people relaxing on a beach". So yeah he kinda comes off as a bit of a grumpy a-hole at times. Fantastic musician/songwriter/vocalist though!

[@gregpendleton7893]

Sad to see Ian's chain smoking habit which, unfortunately, led to (I believe) throat surgery some 10 years later following Under Wraps and before Crest Of A Knave. His voice was never the same after that. Great interview, though.

[@ronspeer]

Greg Pendleton I'm glad a fan FINALLY acknowledged Ian's voice problems. As a fan, I can't bear to see Ian try to sing nowadays. His voice is utterly gone. I think it started to return around 1989 and then Ian decided to diet. By around 1995 it was worse than ever. And now, it's horrible. It's sad because Ian's voice was one of the most unique voices in Rock 'n Roll.

[@Innerspace100]

Greg Pendleton Yup. Him and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Tull and Purple are two of my absolute favourite bands since way back. Gillan lost his voice due to too much drink and never warming up before going on stage. Not particulary smart, one might say, given the stuff he did in Child in Time, for instance... And now, it's plain painfull to hear a recording of Purple live, because of Gillan. Rest of the band still sounds good, though. Two Ians, both with unique vocal abilities in their youth, and now sounds absolutely terrible... Oh well...

[@ronspeer]

Innerspace100 Gillan's voice as it was in 2006 was still better than Anderson's. And I imagine if both artists knew then what they did now, then probably they would have taken better care of their vocals, especially Mr. Anderson.

[@Innerspace100]

Ron Speer Gillan would actually still be OK, I think, if he didn't try to go for the screams when they do the old numbers, but he does. And it just makes me cringe. He doesn't do Child anymore, though. I've heard some live recordings from their recent couple of tours and... well, his voice doesn't really carry anymore. But, yeah, I agree with you. Anderson is probably even worse than Gillan. Saw some footage recently, and it was embarrasing to the point of being outright painfull. He plays the flute as well as ever, though.

[@ronspeer]

And more than anyone Anderson had one of the most unique voices in Rock 'n Roll. Shame, really.

Unusual Ian!!! Adjusting to the 1960/1970's fashion by wearing long hair and a beard, but creating a more medieval than hippie look by doing this. Playing acoustic instruments and writing romantic but never schmaltzy music, because the romance was high class-- for example-- of folk and Renaissance nature. His looks? From gorgeous to almost ugly..... In this interview very handsome, on certain photographs everything but good looking.... In his "old age" (70 plus)... he hardly resembles his former self... Other great looking men, having become wrinkly and weathered, still are (were) their original type... (Bryan Ferry, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery...)... Not so Ian. He turned into a very different kind of man. What I always liked was his political independence... Does he still possess it? All in all a very impressive talented and individual man.

[@elisabethlinz4256]

[@heliotropezzz333]

Interesting that he says 2 hours is the maximum to play on stage otherwise it becomes too much for the band and audience. Jethro Tull at one time used famously to play on the same bill as Led Zeppelin but when Led Zeppelin became so famous that no one wanted to open for them, Led Zeppelin used to play for the full concert time - 3 hours plus. George Harrison said the Beatles sometimes only played for 15 minutes and not usually for more than 30 minutes but then they often could not hear themselves because of the screaming of the audience.

[@samto463]

this being "War Child," Tull's epoch creation and stage show, and knowing where this all leads, to a huge explosion of popularity on the continent of Europe following "Heavy Horses" and Ian's apparent disdain for America, it's sad that he had to bite the hand that fed him and made the large shows possible.
