Nile Rodgers: "Avicii Was The Best Natural Melody Writer I Have Ever Met In My Life"

[@jessejulian9069]

I don’t think people realize how much of a legend avicii was

[@faviolaura9403]

no they dont everything u hear on the radio now is avicii influenced he influenced artists who set the trends so hard

[@Dripht]

@@faviolaura9403 people in my school only listen to rap pretty much... sad

[@sarthakchavhan]

i think same

[@anazadravec1492]

He is still a legend. Legend's never die... forever in our hearts💔

[@chandakatema2167]

Favio Laura that's right most of today's songs have his influence nowadays.

[@wengeristhegreatestmanager5052]

He was a melodic genius. You have to be really creative to write heavenly melody. We lost a pioneer.

[@zainabsalah]

I love how he talks about Tim ❤️ he was loved by a lot of genuine people. But was surrounded with a lot of fake ones too 😔 bless your beautiful soul Tim

[@redsampler2017]

thank you for saying this truth.. lots of soul-grinders but not much truth-telllers.

[@oompapompaa6543]

You should have stepped up as a real one then

[@cherylb6755]

Avicii... part of a sky full of stars. 🌌

[@LEAPINGTHROUGHMEMORIES]

GOD OF MELODY AVICII

[@emmahallard1949]

Beautiful words from Nile Rogers,and incredible compliment.Rogers worked with the very best and so many of them,so for him to say this is a true tribute.God bless Tim,his family friends and fans 💕

[@liberty1892]

Not one day since he passed have I not cried about it 😪 i miss him so much

[@synthesizerpatel7405]

Liberty 189 yeah same. I never thought I would feel this affected by the death of someone I didn’t personally know. Feels like a friend has died.

[@liberty1892]

Synthesizer Patel exactly how I’m feeling 😪 it’s honestly unreal how much of an impact he made on people’s lives he definitely left us too early

[@karinvandenberg9991]

Feel that way too 😿

[@riariemens7206]

Synthesizer Patel Same here, it's not how I normally react to these things, thanks for sharing, makes me feel less weird about it

[@johanjansson8887]

Same :(

[@TheLuxentertainment]

More people need to see this. Been reading so many avicii haters that say he had no talent only cause they‘re intellectually not ready for the brilliant music he made 😂

[@chandakatema2167]

Where are u reading this?

[@TheLuxentertainment]

Chanda Katema depends , here and there spread across the internet mostly on more popular videos that are not only known to Avicii fans

[@minhewina]

damn such a very nice comment, I wish i could give to u 99999+++ likes lol

[@juicelee3392]

A legend who worked with artists like Michael Jackson, mick Jagger saying avicii is the melodic artist that I ever met avicii is in league with Michael Jackson

[@Pereke123]

Beautiful 😪

[@chetanbhat77]

3:32 Amen❤️

[@arzufbkz6099]

Leonardo D'Avicii goes real

[@SiMeTiMe]

he put it into beautiful words

[@mikelombard21]

The Greatest. I miss Tim every day.

[@EricTorres713]

Love hearing stories about people that find success through trial and error. Avicii's music will continue to live on!

[@sarahjane7231]

The thought that he is gone makes me feel sick

[@mackiechang]

Avicii question at @2:00

[@FionaDaye]

ammazing and so sad he will be missed

[@melanieroberts4341]

Nile Rodgers, was like a big brother to Tim. He thought Tim had stopped drinking after trying to help him but when they met an Nile saw Tim drinking it was like " what you doing man , I thought you quit that and was disappointed with Tim. They had such a special bond. Ash, worked Tim, too much, too hard.Even when he had the severe Pancreatitis- still on his back to do gig's. After his surgery, when his gallbladder and appendix burst because he didn't have the surgery he so needed- Ash-"They said you can take painkillers and carry on" This was the Australian tour, when Tim had his first admission, regarding the Pancreatitis. Then whilst doing , I think it was 2 gig's- yeah Ash cancelled some of the tour. Even in the hospital Tim said , in his own word's " This is going to kill me " Those two? Gig's are when his gallbladder and appendix burst. The whole team, and Ash knew of Tim's anxiety. After surgery- Ash - Oh we're going to Las vegas, and Tim got up and said " This is making me anxious " and walk's away from the table. TIM is a great Melodocist, producer and a perfectionist in his melody's even correcting the tone of a singer he worked with. He was/ Is and alway's will be a Genius in his field. Happy Birthday to Tim 8th September the day after mine (virgo- most have a great heart and soul) Sorry Tim for being late ♥️♥️♥️

[@lynnnicolson1436]

Such 2 legends the music 🎶 from these two artists that nile still holds the key to avicii unrealised material 🎶. That they produced nile is thinking and hopefully realising some of those tracks from avicii but needs to be finalised through tim's family which for some reason has stalled 🤷‍♀️..if I remember nile Rodgers said about 8 unrealised tracks ofc🎶 from them both i hopefully we do get that chance to hear them soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰❤❤❤❤so missed tim 😪💔💔

[@paulholland2663]

mozart in the 21st century.

[@revitirtaharja7056]

paul Holland yaaaa i agree

[@angelbaby3677]

Yeah

[@wellhelltherefellwhuman4637]

paul Holland so true. He's the Leonardo DaVinci of music

[@kenbenkai8621]

That is EXACTLY right

[@Tomo-dn9ut]

Tell him to release those songs pls

[@la.santoscuitlahuacchavez9944]

Will be missing Tim ,but he is around us,his spirit

[@ashvanbro9329]

Great

[@larsony6674]

Nile Rodgers increased a fan

[@nadined.7937]

😪💔💔💔

[@smileyface3107]

By peice of gear at 3:18 does he mean Fl studio?

[@K1nkyD1sco]

Probably

[@aquaticsquid6363]

Yeah

[@rahilj]

cant find anyone like him

[@Anonymous-ot6kb]

It starts at 2:00

[@notbutta]

Niles is right though, he was able to see avicii's talent from working with him. avicii was easily the bach or mozart of our time. i wonder what all the songs he threw away sound like. So many artists would love to use his unused music and get hits off of it.

[@dadadalalala3354]

Avicii 2:00

[@MrBrewsterProduction]

Wish we had all that thrown away music

[@lithim4164]

Zeus is the the God of Lightning Poseidon is the God of Sea Avicii is the God of Music

[@heatherchristiana5299]

PandaTunes ❤️

[@dylanj.28]

God needed a DJ, so he picked the best one ◢ ◤

[@antonioduverge3558]

Really Avicii! Come on Nile!

[@kaijumecha5766]

What a loss for the world!

[@nathanchong7731]

The interviewer is like Taylor's half sister??? From side view

[@Mar.1634]

Nile Rodgers reminds me of Tyler the creator. Actually they kinda resemble each other.

[@Tigerex966]

He was very good, but IMHO, Stevie Wonder was and is the best at writing melodies.

[@musicby_levine]

Avicii was the best at melodies 😍

[@abeltesfaye_]

Please always remember that Arash Pournouri killed Avicii by pushing him past his limits. Disgusting

[@eeefox1]

suicide pssh .. he announced he stopped touring so straight away his management/record label and team are losing hundreds of millions of dollars over years to come. if they kill him now which they probably did, they get all his rights to his songs which other djs can play at stadiums, whatever and get money from them instead. case closed.

[@madame__bizarre]

Good point

[@musicalman1995]

Lol you’re a fucking idiot. Record labels don’t kill their artists. Not everything needs a conspiracy theory. He killed himself. By making crap rumours up you are disrespecting his memory.

[@eeefox1]

Kurt Cobain, Micheal Jackson, Whitney Houston, john lennon, etc. avicci stopped going along with what they wanted him to do

[@dickiesdocos]

¿ So in your eyes any artist that dies young is a result of them not going along with what was expected of them?

[@chandakatema2167]

¿ I agree I think someone killed him to, he looked so very happy in the studio
