Interpol - JJJ Interview

Paul and Carlos interviewed by Dools and Linda. Aww... poor Carlos ;)

[@ma.paolagarciagomez9337]

When the male announcer questioned Carlos D about what surprised him and corners him because he does not answer something authentic, it is impossible not to observe Paul's smile: pure gold.

[@meesterdinglefritz2064]

The look on Paul’s face when he’s waiting for Carlos to be a total douche. Love it.

[@livebreezybreatheasy]

I love Carlos' artistry, in Interpol and in his solo projects, but I think I would kill myself if I had to tour with him o.o

[@sculptureofsound2]

LOL Paul is secretly thrilled every time Carlos hits his leg on the bottom of that table.

[@itsonlyana]

paul's so sweet and polite

[@vivianarc2832]

Carlos always trying to be annoying as much as he can be and to get all the attention (and thats does not take away all his talent as an musician) and Paul always so polite, serene, and cute; two different people and both an amaizing musicans.

[@erenjager9943]

Now i know why Paul hated Carlos so much

[@quelisc]

Did Paul hate Carlos? O:

[@blunderless]

they liked hanging out to together especially as drug buddies but from my understanding that kind of snarky shit whether it was a joke or not pissed paul off.

[@burmiester1]

@@blunderless Sam said Carlos was self centered and destructive. He was so arrogant about his style of music that Paul had a hard time working with him, since Carlos wanted his instrumentals to basically replace the vocals. Paul and Carlos would apparently go weeks without speaking sometimes.

[@paconeitor6666]

@@burmiester1 i've heard that sam did say something about carlos, is there a link to the interview?

[@burmiester1]

@@paconeitor6666 Yeah I've got two for you. I love Sam because he's honest about just how detrimental Carlos was to the group by the end. I respect Paul and Daniel for always being respectful about Carlos, but Sam seems to think that people need to understand why they're better off without that petulant diva. www.hotpress.com/music/interpols-sam-fogarino-on-narcissistic-carlos-d-12546339 59:00 in. soundcloud.com/phil-smith-592966725/episode-99-interview-sam-fogarino-of-interpol

[@Interbasser]

I love when Dools asks 'what sourprises you Carlos?'... he is visibly pissed after Carlos arrogant behaviour

[@JCDraco92]

Glad he asked that... such a douchebag

[@theoriginalnathan]

poor interviewer seemed so nervous when carlos mentioned that water

[@SilvanaOrtega-sdb5030]

paul is so well-spoken and a great interview

[@cheenamina]

Poor Paul, can't be easy doing an interview when he keeps getting interrupted by the Bride of Frankenstein

[@davidlawrence6464]

Angela E. They simply forgot his water. His bass lines/key parts on their first 3 albums are perfection.

[@burmiester1]

@@davidlawrence6464 Carlos didn't even write most of the basslines, Daniel did. Evil's bassline wasn't even written by Carlos. Any bassist could have done his part which is why Paul just does the bass now. Carlos contributed so little that they didn't even need to hire a new bassist

[@davidlawrence6464]

@@burmiester1 damn, that is some good insight. I do fucking love their new album Marauder and I believe Paul plays bass on that too, correct? It rips.

[@burmiester1]

@@davidlawrence6464 Correct, Paul has been doing bass since Carlos left. I love their newer stuff too. Have you listened to A Fine Mess yet? It's their EP they released after Marauder.

[@vannessarangel44]

@@burmiester1 I didn’t know Daniel wrote the bassline, I think people don’t give him enough credit

[@janayana]

0:44 Paul's 'good' is adorable.

[@AndrewInCanada99]

It seems like a lot of people think Carlos is being a jerk here, but I don’t know. When he asked for the glass of water near the beginning I think he was just being a little dramatic, sure he can seem like a pre-Madonna but I don’t see any harm in it, I don’t think he was genuinely trying to be rude to the interview. Him and Paul seem to smiling together afterwards too, so I think it’s just a bit of fun. Anyway, pretty good interview, I like when they were talking about weird places Interpol songs appear.

[@Khild565]

true but he wrote incredible bass lines

[@viviana2263]

esta entrevista siempre me da risa, osea como Carlos trata de imponerse con su arrogancia y cinismo (parte de su personalidad pero extrañamente cool) y paul contrarrestando eso como puede para hacerle la entrevista más fácil a los entrevistadores siendo muy amable, tranquilo y cooperador JAJJAJAJAJ pero me mata de risa porque Paul sabe en ciertos momentos que Carlos está próximo a decir una barbaridad de divo y se nota en su cara (cuando el entrevistador le pregunta a carlos que era lo que lo impresiona 1:20 min). Puntos para Pablito que aliavanaba la cosa para que no fuera tan incomodo jajjaja

[@hanniacorena7657]

JAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAA LA CARITA POR DIOS LO AMO 1:22

[@ma.paolagarciagomez9337]

O mejor dicho, justo en ese momento, no puede responder algo auténtico porque minutos antes ya la había regado cuando responde arrogantemente que porqué debería sorprenderse del recibimiento de los fans. El locutor lo acorraló y obviamente Paul lo notó y ni cómo ayudar a Carlos D.

[@ivoryvignettes]

Whenever Carlos is saying something, look at Paul's face. :D I think it's a clue on how to deal with Carlos being a asshat in this interview. Note how the interviewers are serious about the superficial stuff they're saying while Carlos is being sarcastic, if not cynic. I hate overload of sarcasm and cynicism but anyway... Paul sorta guides you through this embarrassing vid.

[@ivoryvignettes]

Abominogg R that was interesting. I feel empty.

[@antonymscalia3924]

ivoryvignettes Don't fret, it's all ogre now.

[@phoranea]

Oh Carlos... cringe worthy interview. Paul is gentleman, though.

[@Interbasser]

I hate Carlos for the same reason I love him

[@hanniacorena7657]

HAHAHAAHAAHHAAHAHHAHA

[@entertainer106]

I realize I don't know Carlos, but I feel like a lot of the time he is misunderstood for being pompous or whatever. In general, I've noticed that he's really articulate and seems to enjoy his speaking skills and discussing a variety of topics; he really is quite suave and interesting. Sometimes when people are like this, people think they're a snob. I find him very polite, honest, and intelligent.

[@tmf1977]

Pretty evident from this interview that Carlos was very unhappy in being in the band at this time. Carlos was never like this during Antics and TOTBL. Hope he's doing ok.

[@evangarry3525]

That line carlos said about him wanting a drink of water was so unnecessary smarmy and rude. Even the way he said it sounds so pretentious “without my having drunk a glass of water 🤓” like he could have just said excuse me could i have a drink please

[@LawlietAutumn]

Carlos you're great but...that was terrible, I hope it hurt when he kept bumping the desk.

[@Mattsvids101]

REALLY!!!AWESOME!!! :):)....Im excited. I almost thought they were pretty much done after Paul did his solo album.

[@chloejwylie]

They’re such opposites. Carlos’ snarky comment about wanting water and Paul immediately being a gentleman after when asking for some as well 😭 I love Paul

[@tonyhall3365]

yeah mate , drop the ''too cool for this interview''. You're just the bass player

[@pjtello4640]

Lol well...a great bass player...But yeah he can be too much

[@Vool2go]

attention seeking Carlos. He must of been an only child...

[@jordonjefferies8196]

All I got from that comment is that you hate gay people.

[@BBoySpazzmatic]

Lol

HAHAAHAHAHHAASAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@deththekid02]

Its obvious Carlos no longer cares, I absolutely miss him

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Carlos reminds me a lot of Henry Rollins.

[@entertainer106]

@entertainer106 OH, and I absolutely LOVE Carlos' speaking voice. It's so smooth and yet has this commanding presence. I sound like such a Carlos fangirl. I'm actually smitten with Paul, though.

[@HotGeneration200]

Carlos - back to McDonalds for you ...

[@SteelyDanimal]

I think he hit his elbow so hard it bleached a tiny strip of his hair.

[@decade03]

Anyone ever notice that Paul Banks sounds like Jim off the office?

[@whipchops]

is that carlos guy really that arrogant? or is he kiddin around

[@burmiester1]

That's just the way he is. Carlos is a narcissistic douche

[@MrMonikerjay]

Well it's the fact that these are just human beings just like everyone else and for artist to act this way just because they've had some songs played on the radio and have been treated with so much attention, some people are used to that and expect that all the damn time. Be respectful because it doesn't last forever Carlos.

[@thezorba1]

I'd say Carlos will be a little less discombobulated once he gets out of the closet..

[@kidbuu770]

we love carlos

[@Immaculate_he4rt]

Lol I fucking love Carlos

[@ratonnelaveur]

No I in Threesome also appears in the video but the song at the beginning is still Mammoth.

[@vivianarc2832]

6:02 paul pensando que cosa mas terrible va a decir Carlos jaja lo conocia muy bien

[@deerounet]

"I wonder whether we should commit this interview without... a glass of water ?" fill the gap please :)

[@ratonnelaveur]

sure :) it's "I wonder whether we should conduct this interview without my having drunk"

[@deerounet]

ratonnelaveur ok thx ;)

[@anaemiabag]

that carlos guy seems a pretty funny character. i heard he had an obsession with simon gallup from the cure

[@heavenhypoxic]

@UltraSandwich24 they did, and some one who makes keyboard arrangements like he did on the last two albums, they're not gonna be the same without Carlos D.

[@Roxanpol]

what a great video. I love them, and I miss Carlos D -.-

[@jaeljarvis1068]

carlos is soo snobby and annoying

[@ratonnelaveur]

@Mattsvids101 That's true... I heard that their new album is going to be released in summer.

[@21innocentbystander]

can't you see that carlos is playing a fucking game, people

[@AlfredoSánchezAguilar]

These guys are so fuc.king great!! i like Carlos' proud. he is a little bit offensive, but Paul is a very elegant man. They're great!

[@areliusein]

The girl is cute. I like her eyes.

[@ratonnelaveur]

@Mattsvids101 it's from February 2008.

[@DuBziDriFT]

1) the girl asked if they would like some water at the beginning, but she never brought it. Carlos, although I don't know him so I can't be 100% sure, reminded her in a douche-y way. Whether it was funny or not it was all in good humor, I know because I act like a smart ass too haha. 2) He's a badass bassists... so yeah

[@deysialcala5888]

Well, I hadn't brought him a piece of shit if he asked me in that way

[@cynthiaelizabethochoaramir3736]

El Paul Banks es el más guapo de todos ❤

[@usd859]

someone should mung with me tonight what a celebration it will be Carlos D

[@vhennus]

I guess Carlos was bored of all these interviews and repetitive stuff and have to spice it up a little, some drama, some something besides I think he's totally able to give his honest opinion about anything even if that makes him a douche... Anyway I think he just got bored of this whole rockstar thing, which is so sad because now I love Interpol with a bittersweet feeling.

[@redwingtrekie24]

haha...ohhh...Carlos D!! lol

[@DianaVilchesoc]

hahahahahahahahahaa FUCKIN' CARLOS I LOVE HIM!! PAUL IS SO CUTE !

Wow, Carlos, he totally did at 4:18 that for attention. Whaadabitch.

[@strummer2123]

@decade03 Haha! Yeah, that´s true

[@Kats072307]

Was he always that weird ? Or the fact that he was pulled down from the rest of the band, while not performing, made him behave in such a way ?

[@Lieu3C4]

When The Real Thing meets Gavilan/Cubed Obstacle 2 Hands Away takes on a perhaps brighter light than ere before.

[@anotherrealm6176]

man carlos was the band's negative energy. but technically speaking i love his work on interpol

[@bearzdlc2172]

No, he was not. He was sick of touring and going sober. He was not rude at all, just stern. You can see him in many other interviews playing around and smiling even here, he's just doing it to be funny.

[@ellienorxrigby]

why did she run after his water like that?? her response made it way worse lol. I would have just said sorry and grabbed it in a dignified manner. You can see Carlos smirking at her running off.

[@thisdeath]

i like carlos; voice ... obviously paul but man idk why some people are saying carlos is annoying cause i think he's cool

[@NikkieI6]

soo funny!!
