Nico Icon Play - BBC Inside Out

[@polajenjo7793]

thank for this...this testimony about the most underrated music talent in all the history of the musica of 20 century...surely because she was a woman...the creator of a entire genre, the gothic music

[@artinshakerian6378]

Poor Ari dies while his father never aknowleged him as his son poor man you see sometimes his family name is päffgan sometimes bologne but never delon its not easy that whole your life looking for you identity

[@tinarider9945]

It's something gothic-erotic in Nico,her songs & her poems..She is the goddess of the Darkness..She is magic,unique. Bless in Eternity❤❤❤

[@GhibliFan1]

She's not a junkie, and she doesn't need an interview for 15 minutes of fame... she had her own musical career and was the lead singer in Manchester band Intastella... and also played Nico in a play. She was just saying it as it is... Nico was a great presence and had huge charisma (I once met Nico in Manchester), but she never had a special voice. Ringo Starr wasn't the best drummer... but he still gave something special to the world. You're just seeing insult where there isn't any.

[@TheCavale40]

I used to live in sedgley park. I often thought about her in my flat....

[@adekale]

I feel so sorry neither for her nor for Alain Delon, but only for Ari Boulogne who suffered till the end of his life as a drug addict thanks to that mother!

[@egyptianhibiscus9203]

Ari loved and respected his mother. I bet you never heard of them both until this year...

[@adekale]

@@egyptianhibiscus9203 You are right, I didn't, but I felt so sorry for him and stil am. Imagining how he must have suffered by being denied by his father. Also his Grandmother suffered a lot because her son made her choose between him and Ari. A very sad story, indeed. I new nothing about his Icon mother....She was his Mum, how not to love her, respect her, and imitate her!

[@egyptianhibiscus9203]

@@adekale His mother is Nico, real name Christa Päffgen. But the documentary about her is called "Nico Icon". There is also Ari speaking there, Edith Boulogne Delon's mother, Nikos Papatakis who was in relationship with Nico when she got pregnant, some band members etc. Well, she was...unusual :). Fortunately Delon's mother took Ari, but A.Delon, I don't understand why he was like that. They even met, Ari and him. Yes, poor Ari. Such a sensitive and intelligent person. And Nico stopped with drugs 2 years before she died in an accident, then he lost her.

nico era linda qdo jovem muito linda curto algumas de suas músicas ...

Era uma Diva. Não era qualquer uma que ficava com Alain Delon.

0:55 Unfortunately heroine wasn't a departure from Andy's New York circus. 3:30 "She said no at the height of her fame"; with the Velvet Underground?! I don't really think there was much fame to walk away from. As for her influence on counter culture it was huge, but was post-Velvets a radical departure?

[@cortodjparis6494]

Magique Nico avec son harmonium ....

Having watched the clip to the end, the LAST place she lives was SEDGLEY PARK.

I love Nico, she may have been trouble but I think she was brilliant.

Ari à eu une vie très difficile. Il est mort en mai dernier à 60 ans

[@stevenmorris2234]

Some people don't like her voice. But for some reason I just love it. It's sounds so cool. It never bothered me. I think she's a musical genius and is not well known. Oh was well known or still is well known.

[@salutsalut8272]

just the Ari part is so sad you can see he lost it😢

[@mariechristinefurfaro5015]

Malheureusement la drogue a beaucoup abîmé Nico et son fils Ari. Il a été très beau mais à eu 2 avc et la fin était paraplégique. C'est une fin tragique en mai dernier. J'espère que les 2 sont réunis. Il est enterré dans les Yvelines ou j'ai été me recueillir récemment

[@alexd2010]

Is that performance of Genghis Khan, on any of her live albums? I've never heard it like that, it's beautiful!

I had a K7 , live in Paris. I'm sure it's been released again. I think the title was "Do or Die, Nico Live in Paris, 1986. [?]"

[@clangersspace2679]

Yeah, where the hell is the footage from? How stoopid to have someone talking over it!

rip Christa Päffgen aka Nico

[@kevinparker9692]

There is a good book written about Nico at this time in Manchester called "Nico the end" by James Young,one of her musicians.Not allways flattering but interesting, agood read if you want to find out more about Nico.

[@Anthracite13]

I've seen this under another video : 'The book is largely fictitious ; her late manager confirmed that Young's book was a fiction, a cartoon-like caricature.' (@user-yz9kz6vt9y) I personally prefer Bickerdike's book (written by a scholar, less sensationalist).

[@stevenmorris2234]

It's crazy you don't hear any of her songs on the radio. Do they play her songs on the radio over at Germany or Italy.

[@akiva7774]

James Young wrote a very good book about her called... Songs They Never Play On the Radio (but you probably know that already). Her music is not very advertiser-friendly. For all of her troubled life, and for all the drugs and chaos, the beauty and power of her albums Desertshore and The Marble Index will endure. The best thing I've seen written about her music is by Jeff Perdue at Habits of Waste: zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nico

[@helmuts.765]

No, in Germany she is almost unknown.

[@helmuts.765]

Nico's grave is located in a Berlin cemetery, called the "suicide cemetery" or "cemetery of the nameless".

[@popatyourecords]

Malheureusement son fils Ari Boulogne n'a pas fini mieux. Fils non reconnu de Alain Delon et Nico est mort récemment dans un appartement et retrouvé en état de décomposition à 60 ans.

Son enfant, elle ne l'a pas élevé. Quand Ari a retrouvé sa mère il avait 17 ans .Nico a partagé la même seringue avec son fils parce que sa vie c'était consommer de l'héroïne.,tout simplement.

[@Anthracite13]

Extract from Bickerdike's book, 2021 : "Graf-Ulbricht said that 'Nico had told me that she got Ari hooked on smack. That's why I recounted this [...] and then this information was out in the world.' Later, Ari told Graf-Ulbricht that someone other than his mother introduced him to the drug. [...] Nico was presented [...] with her child, who was almost a fully grown adult. [...] The drug provided, as Ari astutely recognized, a mutual bond, without having to dissect the tangled, complicated and messy emotional baggage, the very thing that had driven both of them independently to take up the substance in the first place."

[@isadesaintthuryguyane9786]

AD is not his father...it was an obsession. A father is who cares of You. Hé seems his mother and LR

[@egyptianhibiscus9203]

It wasn't Ari's "obsession", Nico tried to obtain the acknowledgement of paternity from Delon as soon as Ari was born. She made a mistake by not stating the name of the father on Ari's birth certificate. Only a complete ignorant can claim Lou Reed was Ari's father. Nico met Lou Reed for the first time in 1966, Ari was 4 at that time. Andy Warhol introduced her to Lou and his band The Velvet Underground, the band was founded in 1964. In the year 1961 as Ari was conceived, Lou Reed was a 19 old student at the Syracuse University in New York, and had no idea who Nico was. Also his whole life he remained childless (in spite of 3 marriages), cause he didn't want any children
