TERRY HALL INTERVIEW 2008 PART 1

recorded for VBS TV

[@Theflowoflove]

Terry Hall has always come across as a genuine person.

[@stevekelley2209]

Terry Hall, may he Rest in Peace, is very funny. Ian Svenonious is playing a part but being out-cheeked by a master, and that’s exactly what we are here to see, and it’s brilliant.

[@GriefTourist]

Terry is all gold

[@ornellazbo]

aw Terry is really too funny, bless him. and actually the interviewer is a bit of a twat really - HOW ON EARTH could he reply to "My dad said it two days before he died" with "That's good"?! poor Terry

[@brandeis71]

This is so hard to watch because of the interviewer. He makes me cringe. Is he for real?

[@nansenscat9315]

This interview is difficult for me to watch. Terry Hall is clearly unwell here, and the interviewer’s sarcasm and hipster irony seem almost abusive. It’s teetering on the edge of bullying and mocking an individual who is sensitive and vulnerable as a result of recent mental illness issues. This interviewer is a shameful and tactless doofus.

[@ashleyberry1116]

Couldn’t agree more

[@titaniumpecker]

How did Terry stop himself from laughing and falling out of his chair from some of those absurdly idiotic questions?

[@BillyJango]

titaniumpecker You must be joking. Terry Hall has never smiled in his whole life never mind laughed!!

[@julieeales]

@@BillyJango before you judge you don't know what he went through , People piss me off when they judge without having a Fucking clue about the person

[@BillyJango]

@@julieeales And there you go assuming things. I can assure you I do know what Terry Hall went through. I have been a fan of Terry's as long as I can remember. Laughing and falling off his chair is something he would never have done that's why I typed the comment. Jesus! People make such a big deal about things these days it is embarrassing. You really can't say anything anymore without somebody climbing on their high horse to tell you off. It was a fuckin joke. Don't even think about comparing our knowledge on Terry Hall. You will loose!

[@BillyJango]

@Chris Gavito Like I said to the other person here. Don't assume things. You are wrong.

[@theselector4733]

The interviewer, as some have already pointed out, does come through as being extremely pretentious......a "try hard" hipster and an arty wanker. Terry obviously knows this and tries to cut him down to size with his sarcasm and dry wit.......I don't think he gets it though. In a way this interview is kind of representative of the chasm that exists between American and English culture and Popular Music. American 'music types' tend to look at UK bands like The Specials & The Pistols with awe and dumbfounded wonderment whilst the bands themselves have a very down to earth and natural attitude, Politics, ethnic tensions, class differences, violence etc.....have played a large role in both British society and music. This is something Americans don't "get" and is not reflected in their Pop culture. America is a violent country but it's misdirected violence or violence without a cause, in most cases anyway.

[@Steerpike07]

Excruciating. Why didn't Terry just walk out? That beats the last 'worst ever' interview I've seen by a long margin.

[@elmorevandodewaard544]

Terry seems a nice and very serious guy. Where are the Terry Hall`s these days...???

[@xwsftassell]

I think he means Man At C&A.

[@fiercemakeup31]

Have u ever been told you're the Beatles of Reggae? " yup...my dad said that before he died.." "thats good"

[@julieeales]

Jesus! 😏

[@nuttyboy11]

Love this....... Terry has this dude squirming with his dry British humour..... A little out of sorts Terry but great to get inside your head..... NB11

[@tofupuppy]

I just realized the interviewer is Ian Svenonius of The Make Up and Nation Of Ulysses, now doing this sort of thing. He always was a bit earnest and pretentious and I was never sure if it was an act- Nation Of Ulysses had manifestos and it all seemed so serious and pompous. But wow, there couldn't be more of a clash of personalities. I prefer Terry's manner and personality, for sure!

[@MellorDR]

hes not well in this bless him

[@nonrehc]

Do not like this interviewer :/

[@ashleyberry1116]

Does the intviewer not want to be there? What a boring man

[@hatchmk3]

whos this nobber interviewing terry hall , he shouldnt be bothering terry with these crappy questions . terrys the man

[@simonthompson27]

Yeah right we all missed the joke ...that guy doing the Interview is ian Svenonius - the lead singer of the Nation of Ulyses ( to name one of the bands ) which was probably a stand alone band of the late 80's and 90's . He might be a little awkward in interviewing Terry but who gives a shit - he's smart and so is Terry ...it comes across in the interview .

[@DianaRangelMUA]

lol the interviewer is comedy genius! ahaha he doesnt know we're laughing at him! LONG LIVE TERRY!

[@lauranewberry6520]

Diana R mua just

[@ashleyberry1116]

The interviewer is a nob

[@cureheads7777]

You all missed the Joke LOL...this guy is an English actor who was doing a similar act to Dennis Pennis on Channel 5.... Terry is in on the joke..its a semi serious interview but where he is being awkward he's being fed a stupid question and deliberately giving a nasty answer...

[@garymandley3599]

He's the singer of American Post Punk band "Nation Of Ulysees!" Not an English actor, whatsoever....

[@matthewthomas1234567]

lol the beatles of reggae the specials were SKA

[@missyj2107]

ok, will the button pop??? that is all I can see.

[@jessica12333]

what a brilliant interview, watched the specials at glastonbury 2009 excellent

[@vonhorn29]

When he says his "Dad said it two days before he died" I lost it.....

[@julieeales]

Lost it in what sense ?

[@dougie1968]

@@julieeales cried.

[@GriefTourist]

RIP Terry

[@Gjeorje]

-Actually he`s more of a chocolate orange. Is that interviewer doing a character?

[@JMort95]

[@julieeales]

Where did u learn to spell ,,

[@ninelivecat]

Terry is a tough guy to interview That guy didn't do too bad

[@TheFartGallery]
