Black Rebel Motorcycle Club talk 20 years of making big rock hits ‘for the weird kids’

[@Camden1313]

B.R.M.C are probably one of the hardest working bands out there, they tour like maniacs. I've been privileged to see them about 8 times since I became a fan in 2002 here in my hometown, in Australia. I don't think anyone has managed to come back here as often and it doesn't go unappreciated. LOVE THEM🤗

[@JulsnCoolsn]

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - THEY are hard working!

[@alejandraestrella3849]

I love them too. And i saw the band only one time in Rock al parque in bogota. In my country Colombia...And what can i say... they are my religion.

[@mth4383]

Obviously you love this band.. just asking what are your favourite BRMC songs? i would say Bad Blood and Stop..

[@NoNameNo.5]

If you wanna see the best bands on the regular, gotta come to the states baby

[@Honasek]

Making a good interview with Pete is pretty hard. He is not gonna tell you anything until you ask him directly and then he's gonna tell you that he is happy to be there or something. Such a cool fella anyway.

[@davea5794]

True, but I met him earlier this year and he was cool as hell! Super nice guy!

[@Honasek]

Yeah, I had that pleasure few months ago too. It's so cool that such an introvert guy is a rockstar.

[@elkanto9602]

That’s what makes him such a rad dude.

[@katyisgone]

This is the first time I heard Peter talk and now I have a crush on him Thanks a lot Peter.

[@tik-takk]

@@katyisgone I have an incredible crush on him too, thought i was the only one. Yeah, he and his sideburns. I even DETUNED my guitar to D son I can play his songs.

[@StinsonTango]

Pete seems like the most humble sweet dude

[@mrbr1819]

Even when they're just talking they manage to put a constant grin on my face :)

[@lennycook206]

They find the questions amusing. I'm sure they'd rather not do them

[@ericquitugua5546]

Love these dudes so much ever since the first time I heard "1, 2, 3 woo!" one morning before school. After that point, I didn't need the radio anymore.

[@quiethog7021]

Howl is one of my favourite albums ever. So fucking good.

[@Nergal_Slayer]

Amen

[@xeverettx2564]

Yeah the art of song writing is showcased at its finest on HOWL!

[@xeverettx2564]

I’ve loved these guys since day one. I also loved Peter Hayes when he was in the Brian Jonestown Massacre another brilliant throwback yardbirds/Beatles/Stones/Animals type band!

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Trying not to peak too soon! LOL AWW, I love this band so much. Not seen them for quite a while. They are terrific live! Have all their albums. Pete and Robert always make time for a chat with fans.

[@investigatemermaids2693]

So much love for these guys.

[@markdemesa8322]

Been listening to these guys since 2006. Helped me get through some rough times as well. Can always put on one of their old albums and just recite it word for word. Glad to see they are still rocking and rolling. not used to seeing Peter with that gray hair though lol.

[@lilakilonen5663]

Peter looks great!

[@buckfastdead5989]

Interviewing Pete Hayes and Matt Pike together would be a joyous nightmare

[@suha2408]

O my heart 🖤❤Yesss, I'm a weird kid. And super proud of it!!! Love them with all my heart❤‍🔥❤

[@zoeandthewolf]

I have been in love with this band since their early days, had a massive crush on Nick Jago back then, lol.

[@investigatemermaids2693]

My dream menage would be with Robert and Nick. Just sayin 😀

[@Millennial_Mike]

They're soooo chilled and pleasant.

[@bronson2k192]

Gato that's the weed ✌️

[@Rocksforrazortooth]

Just started & been going way too long. That would be weird. I'm so happy they still make music. I hope they don't stop.

[@agiker9941]

They are too good for this world.

[@noahstrodtman6121]

such a great band, glad they're still out there

[@jaagenderb3177]

He always has a cigarette in his hands in interviews lol

[@irinashcherbakova1785]

these two are the sweetest

[@alven977]

I don't think in this band in terms of albums cause all their songs are incredibly good all of them!

[@dafunkester]

Awesome pair, I'll be absolutely gutted when you guys call it a day

[@TheMusicalElitist]

They have, unfortunately.

[@dafunkester]

@TheMusicalElitist I've not seen any news, What's your information?

[@alven977]

Pete really rocks

[@doubt_]

Could have been a better interview, but I guess people like them sing it better than they speak it. Still one of my all-time favorite bands.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

very reclusive types then?

[@carin9784]

I guess the interviewer could have asked more creative questions...

[@MrSwitchblade327]

The interviewer was a nunce

[@losangeleslovesyou]

1998 Silverlake Lounge. The good ol' days..

[@edwardduarte7393]

was there too. five day stint

[@jorgesanchezdelacruz5672]

Aburrido de escuchar las tonterías de siempre: yo compré el primero que era el bueno...luego... luego mierda para ti listillo...luego fueron mejores y cada vez mejores...si tú te aburres no es culpa de BRMC que cada vez son mejores...eres tú que te haces viejo: 'an amazing band'

[@bb.6969]

rumor has it he's still playing with his cigarette

[@TheRyskwic]

These are some weird dudes, but they make one hell of a music.

[@2011americanman]

Peter looks like he’s withering away. He can’t wait to smoke another cigarette

[@cedenoanthony45]

Love these guys!!!!

[@herrje4087]

good guys, love them!

[@sebijebi]

Black is ideal for that weather

[@mofetabionica]

Love them forever

[@elkanto9602]

Pete’s the greatest

[@saladdays4883]

BRMC my favourite group ever go and promote two of the newest bands I love (FWF and Moonladnigz) is fucking unreal and surreal.

[@adzadzy]

Decent band, loads of good tunes 👍🏻

[@DustownTV]

at @0:06 and @0:25 but also of course @2:36 - I was convinced they are A) still awake, then B) on a goood come down from meeting (with) Emma and gladly: C) apparently well equipped by catering with some happy and uplifiting herbs (for the green room ;)

[@Toooooodeep]

Is that Dylan Moran?

[@TurquoiseTerrorizer]

Guy on the right is what Mickey Rourke would look & sound like now if he’d never heard of a plastic surgeon

[@lennycook206]

I love this band. I hate interviews. Picked up my 1st NME in 1990 when I was 14 and put down my last about 6 months later. Never appreciated the need. And this interview nails exactly why. Pointless

[@dynjarren8355]

They will probably split up soon and do solo albums and tours. They both sound so similar vocally.

[@investigatemermaids2693]

After 24 years of working together? I wouldn't put money on it.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@investigatemermaids2693 I think they’ve pretty much done all they can do as a Duo and could use a change. Because I don’t think they’re progressing and I think their time has passed now. They were on the verge of breaking through to the big time but they missed the Train. I think it’s over now finally and there’s no where to go but down. They will still have their loyal fans who will follow them but the Game is done and they had their run. They seemed to be more popular in Europe and played big outdoor Festival shows a lot so they probably earned great money and aren’t hurting in that respect at least. Those big outdoor shows pay well. I wish them the best! 👏🏻🎸😎

[@investigatemermaids2693]

@@dynjarren8355 Good points all. And apologies if I seemed to have a tone - I didn't mean to.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@investigatemermaids2693 No problem! I’m surprised you agree with what I said. They made a good living playing music. and got to travel doing it. That’s a double win in my book! They may be better off not getting real famous because that can destroy a person fast! Look what happened to Cobain, Cornell and Winehouse! Not everyone can handle the pressures of Fame. Good luck to them both! And I could be wrong.

[@crustyjpeg7064]

Ehh, they sounded quite similar on the first album or two, but over time their voices have developed and they've got their own styles that really complement each other.

[@PumaFist]

My only complaint about BRMC is I miss Nick Jago. Leah Shapiro is okay. But she is no Nick.

[@sratus]

'hits' is a bit of a stretch and that plank NME send out yo interview bands always comes across like a teenager on work experience

[@ilyak.6953]

oh he looks old, what happened to him? all that gray hair suddenly

[@TheRyskwic]

Ilya K. Im pretty sure he just colored his hair this way.

[@carin9784]

Ilya what is it all about? Hair or music?

[@pulpito87]

WHY ALWAYS ARTIST GET THIS STUPID QUESTIONS ? IT´S JUST BLA BLA BLA FOR INTELLIGENT PEOPLE............THE WHY IS REALLY HARD TO UNDERSTAND!.....................

[@bonniemiller274]

Have you ever seen the "kids interview rock stars?" Those 8 year old kids ask way better questions than any of the adults do!

[@DustownTV]

which is why they dont care and showed up still awake and definitly DRIGH hahaaa XD

[@NoNameNo.5]

Drugs are definitely involved…

[@DustownTV]

much so indeed XD @0:06 - @0:25 and @2:36 will forever uplift & speak truth from my heart as a touring musician XD

[@t8br00k36]

mickey rourke

[@ninaconlentes]

que penca el entrevistador oe como no se te ocurre algo mejor que hablar perkin son los brmc vo no sai na flaco

[@VictorLugosi]

I brought their first album it was and still is a classic... the later stuff was eh

[@250frederic]

That's a really weird thing to say considering they were teens back then and that their music has only become richer with every subsequent release...

[@cook123ful]

In a sense... Every album is truly well done. But... Take Them On, is a bigger classic compared to BRMC, only because people hear BRMC and only think and talk about Whatever Happened to my Rock n' Roll. Amazing song, but the debut had more than Whatever.. I enjoy every album on a daily basis, but honestly, Wrong Creatures is a lot better than what I truly expected. Other than that.... Every album is fucking grand.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

beat the devil's tattoo is a masterpiece too as is spectre at the feast.

[@chrischampion2021]

Fucking KZbin commercial

[@mofettemopete3372]

"Black Rebel Motorcycle Club" would never have existed without "The Brian Jonestown Massacre".

[@Kornhulio18]

Styles, smooth but rugged - you can't push or shove it.

[@Rocks4You97]

false

[@auroracatie7685]

That is false

[@mofettemopete3372]

Maybe without BJM there would have been a BRMC. But not a BRMC with that musical talent. Anton teached Peter a lot!

[@Bradford659]

Mofette Mopete you mean Anton taught Pete a lot, right?
