Hard Talk Robin Gibb part 1

[@dashriprock8596]

Nobody taught them anything about music! That voice - those harmonies -- those songs... Unfreakinbelievable!!

[@violet640]

Old songs are incomparable to today's garbage. Remember, when American DJs wouldn't play BeeGees songs because they considered them crap, well they're dead wrong coz people find them classic - a masterpiece , and will be enjoyed by generations to come.

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

The Bee Gees - three musical geniuses whose lyrics, harmonies, melodies and unique sound (and talent to adapt and stay current for five decades...) will remain unmatched - indefinitely... because, true Legends never die... 💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸

It's astonishing the garbage that passes for music these. And have the nerve to reward such crap with Grammy's and accolades galore.. I only listen to 60s and 70s music. Nothing really compares.

[@jeanwalters7576]

Sadly Robin passed away 10 years ago today. Such a talented singer and writer of some of the best songs ever written. Love the BeeGees ❤️

[@brandi7ish]

There will NEVER be another sound comparable to the Bee Gees! There's was uniquely without limits. They could do any genre of music, and do it better than anyone else ever could. Their talent and gift of prolific composition of both music and lyrics cannot be matched. Their stage presence and senses of humor brought light and love to all those who witnessed their GREATNESS! IMO even the Beatles didn't compare to the Bee Gees...not in composition or harmonics! THEY WERE THE GREATEST!!!

[@merciaspain6321]

Agreed ❤

[@alex2934]

I totally agree with you. The Bee Gees are always the BEST.

[@saradavidson3054]

God how awful to lose these treasures ,I feel the world will never have the quality of the 60s, 70s, I feel so sad that commercial music today cannot ever measure up to the Bee Gees sheer natural harmonies.

Carve it in stone! Everything Robin said is the rock solid truth about the junk I hear today! Beautiful and complex harmonies over amazingly clever chord changes, the Gibbs were masters at it, master! In 40 years NO ONE will be listening to J.B. or B.S., no one! However, Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb's great-grandchildren will still be enjoying a steady stream of royalties! Their music simply defies description...

[@timothyparsons8327]

I recognized talent when I saw The Bee Gees for the first time on Top Of The Pops in 1967. The song was Massachusetts and immediately I was hooked. I was 12 and played it on our local jukebox till eventually I decided to buy the record with my pocket money. Then, they did “World” and the next day I bought the record in the freezing cold at the end Of 1967. These two songs are still my favourites by them and, amazingly, I managed to hold on to the records!

[@christelgrimmer4478]

I used to listen to Radio Luxemburg at night, secretly, and every time I turned the radio on there was a BeeGees song. Loved the older songs, didn't quite care for the disco era, got quite a few CDs with the older material. They had to do the hard slog to start up like the Beatles, performing in clubs and pubs, really like any of the great bands in the sixties, no synthesizer, electric guitars just tlent. I like how he said we and us, just a gentleman.

[@azgypsy]

The Bee Gees are, were & will ALWAYS be the best. They are also 3 of the nicest famous people I've met. Thank you guys for giving me some amazing memories.

[@rmoore1686]

The Bee Gees we’re singing when they were very young children.

[@miguelmunoz9989]

Excellent interview!! The more I know about the Gibb brothers the more I admire them. Absolute geniuses, the four of them.

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Totally agree with you, Miguel Munoz!! Thank you! Gracias!

[@lindifuller9113]

I am from America, I am an old lady and loved the Bee Gees music in the 60's and 70's. Just recently I started listening to them again and now I am obsessed with their music and learning new things about them. I enjoy watching the old videos of them when they were just boys. Robin was my favorite. He really was fun to watch. Always clowning around. Not to mention his voice. Every time I hear him sing I get chills. I Started A Joke is one of my old favorites. I just recently ordered the Ultimate Bee Gees CD on Amazon. It has all my favorites by them. Can't wait to get it so I can listen to them in my vehicle. RIP Robin and Maurice. Your music lives on through your fans.

[@elizabethhayduk4014]

Real talent, harmony, composition and song writing. Very rare as Robin discussed.

Robin Gibb è sempre un vero gentiluomo. In ogni occasione e con qualsiasi persona. ❤❤❤

[@dylanmart6007]

yes the bee gees were child stars, but there was no record label that pushed them on stage. everything they did was done because they loved making music and were good at it. and they grew up and still made popular music, which is something we most likely wont see Justin bieber do.

[@TheLobocantaore]

Not only that ,their music stood on its own with the hype !!!

[@Helen25243]

What a nice guy. Plenty to say, easy to interview. He talked a lot of sense.

[@grandmanancy4719]

Robin should have walked out on this interview. What a jerk! How dare him. Robin is an icon and should demand respect. The Bee Gees truly did "live and breathe in the recording studio." Nobody handed them their success.

[@fuzzluvver69]

This is very, very different to, for example the Clive Anderson interview. The whole notion of this segment was 'Hard Talk' where it was designed to be asking tough, sensitive questions. There is no ambush going on here, and Robin knew before he went on what the line of questions was likely to be on so he was able to be prepared and with his eyes open. Which he did, and did very well throughout this interview. So no, I'm afraid I don't agree with your comment, and nor should any other objective, aware person.

[@ellencasey8503]

Miss You ROBIN You and your brothers still are The champions champions champions

[@katherinechatham9032]

Creating music for the love of the craft. I agree with everything he said. Auto tune is something I would not use. In my opinion hearing small areas where there is some imperfection is great because you know you are listening to pure music. I remember singing in front of a person that had done some songs. I heard this person say...those mics will make anyone sound good. It actually caused me to join a group of musicians and vocalists who critiqued each other’s work. I wrote most of my own songs...did some collaborations...and it was so uplifting. It did become too much work because the more you had following you, the more you followed and you had to keep up with comments and other artists music. At around 5000 followers...I cut it off. My father was sick and I did not have the time to keep up with comments and following other artists. I plan to do more music at some point, but currently I am caring for my mother. Having said all that I have the upmost respect for the music of The Bee Gees. This is real talent. No smoke and mirrors. This is a group that composed music that cannot he touched by any other artists. I am in awe of their talent.

[@NixRiverSong]

Robin was great, he outtalked and outsmarted that host because he is so intelligent and puts weight behind his words, he never sais anything without carefully thinking through every word before he says it . And he is very hard to talk over as well because he doesn't let interviewers do it he holds his own with them as this interview and others show. I really enjoy watching it, thanks for posting When was this broadcast? Seems to me like 2010. Am I right?

[@robertaclark3286]

You're absolutely right taly. Robin did hold his own with the interviewers, and he was one of the most intelligent people there was.

​@@Lora-qw2rzMo described his twin as a genius. Are you going to argue with him?

[@lissaline]

Oh, spot on Robin! Pop musicians these days sell their looks, not any talent they may have. The people who write the songs for them stay in the shadows, no one cares to know their names. (Geeze, I think that _I_ sing better than most of today's pop artists.) Everyone goes on about the Bee Gees' harmonies, which were great, but they could all hold their own alone as well and their lyrics actually meant something. And good job not letting the guy get away with dominating the conversation and putting words in your mouth.

He's a straight shooter with strong opinions and very proud of his achievements. He's so right about today's karaoke singers. The 70s and 80s musicians in general were so creative, writing their own music, creating their own style. I remember listening to the radio back then and there was always something new and so exciting every week.

[@Jungletraveler00_12]

I so agree with Robin about artist now a days because now a days most pop singers can't sing live, and they are just not true artist. I mean some pop singer don't even deserve what they have. I mean for sake, all people really care about how they sound it is how they look. I mean singers also don't even work up to what they are now. You can just get discovered od frkien youtube now a days, I mean they just didn't work up to what they have and it just isn't fair.
