This breaks my heart. He was a kid, man.

[@loldrewster66]

yeah. a 28-year-old kid

[@eric6523]

+Maxi Navarro A kid who liked black tar heroin just a little too much

+brruh bruh jay wasn't a junky, he died of cocaine toxicity.

[@tickaninny]

+Andrew Rutledge 29

[@POOCOMESFROMFOOD]

uhhhhhhhhh he had a toxixity to it, meaning it was bad for him, yet he took it..... thats how you die from toxixity bra, he deff was a junky

Yesiamblind guy's music was fast yet melodic!

[@prototypefan1234]

this is seriously the most coherent nardwuar interview ive ever seen

[@helloRockwood]

Jay was at his best here.

[@neal1692]

they're both from the punk rock scene, it's really perfect for nardwuar

[@strangebrew1231]

“They were a prog rock band and the b-side is unlistenable”

[@deathkampdrone]

Not being an american, it took me some 20 seconds to figure out that "greyhounds" are the buses. I thought for a moment that he brought racetrack dogs along with him on tour

[@kaneda_shotaro]

same here!

[@ax10m19]

👍😂

[@Hot18Shot]

My first thought during that conversation was "how do you bring band equipment on a Greyhound?" Man, those buses bring me back...

[@PlutoTheGod]

That actually made me laugh out loud LOL the Reatards & race dogs

[@strangebrew1231]

They’re pretty much the only bus company that’s available

[@robbalv6750]

Jay Reatard is one of the best musicians to come out of last decade

[@Skiivin]

Rest easy, Jay. Taken WAY too soon

[@NateB1976]

This was very bitter sweet. I live in Knoxville TN and like so many others discovered Jay just a little too late. You can learn more about him from this than watching 30 other Jay Reatard KZbin videos. RIP Jay save me a seat in punk hell.

Wow, knowing that he passed away makes me quite sad, he seems like one of the nicest and most personable interviewies ever. Also wow, red ringed xbox in the background.

[@BB-kz6sd]

He doesn't seem like the massive asshole everyone made him out to be. Definitely a little cynical, but he seems like a really smart guy. So sad to lose him so early.

[@averageslacker6054]

idk man. Totally slandered Stephen and Billy after they left.

[@johnheitkam193]

He was a bad alcoholic and drug addict. You can be the nicest person on the planet, but until you overcome those demons you'll always be overindulging and turning into someone you're not

[@ioshirai777]

he would have laughed

[@juliusebola9389]

Jay was just getting started. Who knows how many great albums he still had in him. Depressing.

[@kennygrump8764]

They seem really humble and well-spoken

[@batcaveloner1383]

Heard that Jay was hard to work with sometimes. After his band quit he called them fat, stupid, and said they couldn’t play worth shit. Those two dudes were from a great band called The Barbara’s.

[@Vingul]

@@batcaveloner1383 where did he say that?

[@ThomasPianecz]

Love Jay, miss him, probably would have had 28 albums by now.

I like how the Xbox starts red ringing in the middle of the video

[@maxinator317]

The sheer amount of feels seeing him alive and well is insane. AND there's a red-ringed Xbox in the background; as if the video wasn't upsetting enough.

Almost 10 years and I still miss this guy

[@wormskull2454]

I saw them on one of the very last dates of that final tour, it was fucking phenomenal. My friends & I met him that night & got a pic with him. He was super humble & nice. A few weeks later he was gone…. I still remember getting the text when I was at work. It sounds lame but I walked out to my car & cried hysterically….

[@josephhopeless829]

I get sadder every single time I realize Jay died..What an awesome, chill as hell guy; the man was a god damn prolific songwriter, breaks my fuckin heart. RIP Jay, I love you, such a great down-to-earth, great man. Fuck, now I'm heartbroken again..
