I was scared for that kid when he put his hand on Mark's shoulder.

[@tt-tc2xo]

I just finished Mark Lanegan's excellent autobiography. I too am scared for this kid.

@@pspT61 oh that makes sense. RIP mark. It’s crazy and sad to me that when I made this comment he was alive.

[@pspT61]

@@wolfhaddad7677 very sad indeed. I Recommend his audiobook of Sing Backwards and Weep. He gives several stories of times he had to lay the smackdown.

0:30 Mark's face when he gets called "the legend". Holy shit lol!

[@Gr13fKvlt]

LOL

[@tylersims6937]

They say "A picture is worth a thousand words." That face however, was worth 3...thousand. And those words, I feel, were thus: "I....fuckin guess."

[@bluesfortheredsun]

i'm not even ready for this

[@tt-tc2xo]

Looks like he was referring to the interview

[@dubbatrubba1759]

Poor Mark. It’s like he’s hanging out with a bunch of children.

[@whitneygibson3431]

The look on Mark's face when dude called him a legend is exactly why, in addition to countless other reasons, as to how & why they just don't make them like Lanegan anymore.

[@billyaubin5360]

Marks not having any of this bullshit

[@jetcheneau5811]

Lanegan absolutely was not cut out for that MTV rockstar life.

[@davidkhammer]

Mark did not want to be there at first.

[@jacobgates1986]

I was there at that show. It was my 15th birthday nd I wanted to see Queens of the stone age so bad nd they didn't disappoint . Audioslave jus came with their 1st album for they're newly formed band. Than I thought 30 second to Mars was a badass new band but not much ppl where they're watching So I saw the lead singer (Jared Leto) talking to a fan I guess nd I walked up to Jared Leto nd we stayed talking about how he came to LA to break into the rock scene and we talked about music nd asked each other back and forward on bands we like nd have you heard of this band. But he was so chill . Than I realized he was in half of fave movies when I went home nd that's where I realized I chilled for at least 45mins or more .

You’re lucky you didn’t get kidnapped or something frankly

[@jacobgates1986]

@@kantina4765 I know I felt Jared's spell , than I snapped out as soon as I heard Jane's addiction in the background.

[@jaycee2095]

Lanegan's description of Lollapalooza in his book is fucking hilarious.

[@Polyruidoso]

The book (sing backward and weep, i guess) ends before Mark said anything ´bout Queens. So what description you talking bout

[@raborian]

@@Polyruidoso I think he's referring to the 1996 Lollapalooza with the Screaming Trees

[@dillinguuur79]

Lol @ Mark's face when he says "The legend" 🤣

[@Ketannabis]

Lmao

[@Littlewing6was9]

Hehehe! That was fun. Really missing my favourite minstrels right now but I'm beginning to realise there's so much to listen to, I like how the acoustics travel when the clouds are low. I've not bought tickets for Leeds next year although I'm made up about it. I'll be there if it happens. Many Blessings and love always from Manchester, Anglo Isles 🌻

Long live the Queens ❤🔥🐍🤘🏻

[@bioof4]

R.I.P Dark Mark

[@jaycee2095]

This is about a year after Layne Stayley's death. The interviewer is super ignorant to have asked that question to Mark.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

That’s a crazy thing to say

[@isonation.]

This entire segment is ALMOST as awkward as Radiohead playing the MTV Beach House. 💦

[@amslu]

This kid was pushing his luck with Mark… damn

[@2010georgian1]

Poor Mark.. I miss him...

[@randblackwell8675]

Miss the hell out of him....

[@gloryboxx17]

That is just so funny giving it all he’s got, and nobody giving a shit,

[@billybutcher4995]

Dang literally none of these guys are in QOTSA anymore lol but in all seriousness RIP Mark

[@Raju-vm7ed]

I wonder where did Lanegan went at the final part?

[@Polyruidoso]

Probably just waked away

[@dillinguuur79]

Bathroom

[@jetcheneau5811]

Probably to go up to the hotel room to tell Josh to put away the drugs before Nick and Joey and the MTV asshole get up there.

[@tomkirk6942]

Mark cannot stand/nor is amused by the dumb dumb small talk.

[@KingCrimson82]

i liked the style back then, the barber shop n steroids look today is not only irritating but prevents me from taking those bands seriously. Most of us werent even in a football team but into partying, weed, Books/Movies and especially and foremost music. It feels like they create a climate in which only GI's are allowed to have record labels.

[@startervisions]

Punk rock supergroup lol

[@zachwarner1726]

Maybe he should've stood to the side of them...... How akward.

[@mikemoavero3518]

Mark looks miserable

[@tt-tc2xo]

Read "Sing Backwards And Weep", it explains a lot.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

@@tt-tc2xo why was he miserable here?

[@tt-tc2xo]

@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 he quit heroin.

[@whitneygibson3431]

He perfected the whole miserable vibe, LOL. As a fellow member of the Gen X tribe, it was kinda a thing back in the day to come across as apathetic, bored, miserable, withdrawn, only we never copped to it, or even discussed it. We had a thing about keeping our mouth shut in all things, looking back now in this different world, it wasn't healthy to hold stuff inside but, man, did it make for great music, especially that Seattle crowd, the coolest of the cool

[@J_Trask]

@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 in his book there was a small part he mentions developing a look that way that he was “someone not to be fucked with.”
