Porcupine Tree über ihr neues Album „Closure/Continuation“ und, was echte Künstler*innen ausmacht

[@Spacelovetimer]

I understand Steven getting irritated with the same questions over and over again (and Rolling Stone should be more inventive), but Richard showed him how best to answer it here. No point in getting too wound up about it - it's Steven's job to promote his work and sitting there answering a few questions isn't hard work. Plus there will be a fair chunk of newbies watching the video, who won't know much about him and Porcupine Tree but do have an interest. Just roll with it, Steven!

Richard makes Steven look like a brat in the first 10 min. Richard has class!

[@briancox8518]

He was in Japan that's why they had class and so do porcupine tree

[@briancox8518]

Richard barberi is a gentleman and met him in 1980 at a Japan after show

[@ehoc42]

despite his talent, Steven is a pretentious brat

[@mathiaskrause_blunkerbach]

Simply Barbieri - classy

[@sidnew2739]

This album is simply an instant classic. Whole new level for the band.

[@Wolfram_Hart]

My favourite band ♥️

[@leddiddeSWE]

I know he probably didn't mean to come off as rude, and I can imagine it gets annoying being asked the same question over and over, but the way Steven answered that first question really caught me off guard..

[@yes_head]

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised it's taken him this long to finally get fed up with answering those questions over and over again. Cuz he's right: he has been asked those same questions for YEARS.

[@deliverance9975]

I think more than anything it shows that the interviewer didn't bother to do a little bit of research on the interviewee to come up with an original question to ask, so I can understand why Steven would answer in that manner.

[@hazardousjazzgasm129]

I dunno man, these were the most generic and low-effort questions you could ever ask a musician. I don't blame him

[@nectarinedreams7208]

If the interviewer thought that question was fine then he or she is probably not a fan and/or just doesn't give a fuck about PT, so I doubt he'll take offense to what Wilson said and therefore neither should anybody else.

[@Cakeashake]

Yeah same. I love Steven Wilson and everything he does, pretty much, but he was just being a dick in that first question. Doesn't change the way I see him or his work, but a bit of humility costs nothing.

[@RandomGuy-ws6td]

Questions that are missing in this Interview: what is your favourite food? what is your favourite animal? what is you favourite pokemon?

[@SatanSplainer]

Everybody, relax. Steven isn’t rude. He’s just old and grumpy.

[@stevesmith3990]

But Steven, we all know that Dark Side Of The Moon is your favourite album ;)

[@bruffyb3796]

I agree with Steven, if you indulge in the hobby of listening to many albums, you can't choose a favourite. People need to ask more interesting questions.

[@feelxmusic]

Great musicians like interesting questions😉

[@malekmo64]

The world has always been going through one global catastrophy after the other Steven, the animals just go on being what their meant to be! 🙂 Trees and plants grow as they always do!!!

[@battleofalgiers]

"Free Bird!"

[@malekmo64]

Frank Zappa said exactly the same. Freak Out has his list there. He told the interviewee go read that. So similar a question no musicians should answer because they listen to albums you have never heard of!!!

[@malekmo64]

I like your answer about favourite, Steven. Try reading one chapter in many books and saying "I know the book!". Every song is it's own story, have to listen to every chapter of the book in song!!! Both books and songs are stories. Need to read/hear all of them as one whole.

[@RandomGuy-ws6td]

Unfortunately the interviewer didnt ask steven wilson, what his favouturite color is :/

[@RandomGuy-ws6td]

And his favourite pokemon

[@malekmo64]

The Pretty Things taught David Bowie to change each new album because they did.

[@matthewpugh9175]

This interview is bit preachy to be fair, love the music but Steven is a bit of a damp squib to be fair, Steven stick to making music and let others do Interviews, you don’t like questions, you don’t care what the fans want when making music, comes over a bit petulant to be fair. Without fans you would have to get a job and work 40 hours a week and wouldn’t live the way you do. Reality check could be the title of your next album.

[@juliogalvao7560]

so many bots commenting, wtf is up. is that what we've come to with porcupine tree? or is it rolling stone?

[@Prizzy999]

Asking a musician what their favourite album is means putting them in a rather difficult position, cos depending on the answer it might look like they do not love what they've being doing with their own band(s). I wouldn't answer that question either honestly, it's a bit tricky and very boring indeed.

[@skieswatcher]

Barbieri is MUCH MORE pleasant than Wilson...

[@briancox8518]

Barberi is a gentleman met him after a Japan gig in the early 80s

[@axollner6722]

its ok to not answer standard questions because it's not a standard band who's dependent on popularity

[@xbriskx]

What awful questions, so boring.

[@unclescott8792]

Dig the music/sounds/vibe ... not interested in political views, etc. 🤣 I listen to music and watch MUSICIANS being interviewed to ESCAPE real life!! just my lousy 2¢ still 🧡y'all

[@leeroden7900]

Thank god you let us all know

[@DW_R]

Snowflake

[@TheAltarOfMadness]

Didnt realize Wilson was a soy boy vegetarian. Weak.

[@BarmhartigeAltruist]

I'm a meat eater, but judging people by what they eat is kinda lame dude. Get a life.

[@hazardousjazzgasm129]

Yes, the guy who has made an incredible musical career for himself is the soyboy. Not the overweight neckbeard reviewing schlock marvel movies

[@Cakeashake]

Imagine being so insecure about your masculinity that you measure yourself by your willingness to eat defenseless animals

[@mtns340]

That's why he looks 15 yrs younger than his actual age tho.
