THE RUNAWAYS - Kim Fowley Interview Part I

[@tcheriset]

Wow, watching this interview has made me truly realize what a fantastic job Michael Shannon did portraying Kim Fowley in the film!

[@DianaSim]

wow this interview really makes me appreciate Michael Shannon's acting skills

[@user-uc9qq5gu8m]

people like this are what makes society so terrifying. they will act how you want them to be when around you, but when no one else is around.. who knows. the fact that he also believes he’s done nothing wrong. i’m disgusted.

[@angrygatita]

Uh oh what he do?

[@yourseductions1215]

@@angrygatita raped one of the girls in the band he produced

[@Seeker9808]

He raped cherri curri in thr 70s

[@chumtea1111]

whoa! my speakers were at max when he screamed! i nearly had a heart attack and jumped back!!!

[@lou5781]

fowley is a 70s wild man .. the interviewer is a 2000 bore

[@competetodefeat4610]

Yeah man raping all of those young girls... what a wild man.

[@evilkitty2007]

i love how kim would be the one person who would answer questions without actually answering anything

[@TokiLynn]

Dude! OMFG! Idk how they did it for the movie but everyone in that movie LOOKS, acts and talks! the same exact way! The movie is just perfect!

[@toxichris]

does his tshirt say "i'm not kim fowley"?

[@TheSickNeeds]

I know if I were him I'd rather not be.

[@jonflores6493]

This does really showcase Michael Shannon's prowess as an actor. I mean, Wow! Very interesting guy, Mr. Fowley. I'm glad you uploaded this, I have always loved the Runaways, and now I feel I actually know a little about them. This presentation gave the whole affair, for me, considerable dimension. Appreciated :]s

[@joewhitehead3]

How did anyone put up with this guy?

[@acdc14terrace]

"You dog cunts'll be lucky to get a gig singing in the shower!"- Kim Fowley

[@os2bulldog]

You're all looking at David Lee Roth in about 20 years.

[@projecthurley]

CRAZY

[@Maniac1607]

Friggin' headcase.

[@sayhellotogoodbye]

He's one of those managers who try to control the band and like to take credit for everything the band does. He reminds me of Malcolm Mclaren

[@nathanthomasstickney8123]

I talked to him once. Super natural. He helped from the place beyond death he transferred transformed transcended. And helped me with some things.

[@nathanthomasstickney8123]

Just ask giddle

[@nathanthomasstickney8123]

And he was supernatural

[@goodoldmusic]

0:24 oh my gad... He scared me :D

[@TheSickNeeds]

hes a creep. Your instincts are sharp.

[@ernests212]

he's mental

[@kishanoua]

Just gotta say that this man is crazy.

[@anahottamale1]

He's a TRULY rockstar from 70's. LOL

[@mrmiffedkitty]

crazy ass dude

[@lonetardigrade]

Yes, he might be a little out of the ordinary, but I don't find him weird. I think he is very funny and its incredible that he has lived through the 70s, and to still be alive at the age of 73, after all he has went through, is just mind blowing.

[@Yogilatino]

Omg I love the man they should realy look into his life and make a crazy move about him.

[@competetodefeat4610]

Yeah maybe they can includes scenes for some of the rapes he committed too!

[@ag10v]

Well, Michael Shannon definitely portrayed him perfectly.

[@takethesewingsandfly]

hahahaha wow. he really is as crazy as he was in the movie

[@SolangeLOLable]

i love him hes eccentric

[@jonschmitz7189]

The insane act is to hide who he really is. No interview has broken through that fact. I think it will take a skilled interviewer to get any substance.

[@SweetCauchemar]

Okay,Kim's a total creep...but why do I feel so amused when watching this interview?I always crack a smile when listening to him.Something's wrong with me...

[@tonywords6713]

Creepy vibe and very full of himself, all the fun eccentric razzle dazzle is a nice distraction from that briefly, but he seems sad and dangerous deep down

[@BassKindaGurl]

This dude is fucking crazy bahahaha

[@shybloodlover]

He is amazing, so crazy but amazing lol

[@mycoolgoodvideos]

@avasephora but kim fowley booked their tour...which lead to all their success. so those phone calls he made played a major part

[@Real_SkyRipper]

this man is amazing lol

[@r0tten.4pple]

Are you serious?

[@robstenlove07]

@tlkhnc Well, I have this program called Netflix, I don't know if you've ever heard of it, and it has a bunch of free movies and documentaries, and I found it there and watched it. But, there is a dvd for it, too.

[@dawnvictoria1]

He always had great projection,Once brilliant, always brilliant. Thank the Goddess for him, always was a great jester/actor. Micheal Shannon was fantastic!

[@robstenlove07]

@tlkhnc The name was "Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways." (:

[@evann1621]

@UrbanGuerilla88 uhm hello joan did too why do you think she made it her own and its on her album

[@shannoncf56]

fucking kim fowely..legend and a half

[@SuperBeth124]

i would love to work with him he sounds like one of my old band helpers

[@ReclaimerSierra117]

@Icecreamsuicide How do you know him, what does he do now?

[@brianrapp2883]

1975 Brian rapp was 15years old captian of the beverly high surf team at state beach with coach jj moon and Kim koskie the runnaways rules canyonlocalfilms

[@tj47moeller]

What was the LAST band that kim mentioned that answered the question: "who the runaways paved the way for"?

[@trashleeefull]

Dude, i wanna meet this man.

[@anahottamale1]

H's a truly 70's rockstar.

[@zonks92]

i love how he just doesnt giv a fuk

[@mumhumrocks]

ohh my

[@evann1621]

@wmacscamp how do you know that joan liked him??

[@groovylilbop]

Yaass!

[@chrissiebabe234]

This dude should be behind bars

[@arealOpia1991]

I LOVE THIS MAN X)) .... fuck what is insane i mean really ... wot the fuck is it ??... he's just real and his breakdown of the sexes was spot on to what i know of that too

[@johntg123]

Say what you want about Kim Foley but he delivered for The Runaways.

[@JeffCookeMI]

Taylor George Yeah, like a pimp. He's a piece of shit.

[@XxMegaxKISSxX]

lol carrot top. . !!!! ahahaaa

[@totomgs]

Hahahaha I don't laugh in front of my computer very often but Kim is a real freak :D

[@wiseowl2335]

sounds like this guy should be in jail

[@ToriTerrorTheKittie]

hes absolutely crazy. im in love with it. hes also hillarious. hes so amazing. woah.

[@competetodefeat4610]

He's so amazing like OMG... the way he used to drug and rape young vulnerable women.. WHOA so amazeballs!

[@user-uc9qq5gu8m]

disgusting.

[@curvygirl811]

I wanna see an interbeiw with him joan and cherrie

[@satchboogyfan]

He's Charlie Manson creepy

[@666kinski]

If u ever read some of the some of things Ken said in the past..don't be shocked.

[@jumpyourbone]

i think he's interesting!

[@xxxRobstenxxx]

@avasephora I agree, but only someone who was seriously fucked up would have wanted to manage an girl rock band. Nobody, and believe me, nobody else would have EVER even thought of it. Rock was ENTIRELY dominated by men; if a gal told you she wanted to have a girl band back then, you'd have laghed and said "How cute!" But then after you realized she meant it, you'd probably go: "WTF?" Sure, there were femae rockers, but they played w/ guy. It was hard back then. Kim actually got them out there.

[@sphereious1]

It was brief- But I loved working with Kim...He is weird-It's true-(that's a bad thing?) But he has been a major proponent for WOMEN IN MUSIC... Kim is a wise imaginative and tenacious individual that I CONTINUE to learn from...Thank you Mr Fowley:)

[@valouu15]

@satchboogyfan You are so right!

[@666kinski]

Kim fowley was great!

[@treydiggy]

William Defoe would have played the part of Kim Fowley i think.

[@gumbee9967]

Yeah, I could totally see that ,honestly

[@IFancyMrDarcy]

that HEY was scaryy...

[@tatumblows]

Maheen Javed that HEY was amazing

[@idrathreatglass]

grade A predator

[@mrmiffedkitty]

c'est un fou. mais je l'adore.

[@pinkBEAT]

Interesting.

[@ruskolnikov7211]

They gave the kid this basket case for his first real interview? Maybe Kim needs to be his drill instructor too?

[@nomesy81]

he reminds me of the creepy uncle your not sure is going to touch you inappropriately or not..

[@tonywords6713]

Yup

[@shybloodlover]

@cool2912raven I know... people are wayy too quick to judge, it's always hard to understand or get on with people who don't think before they speak lol although he seems like a clever guy and probably knows exactly what he's saying... I know he was an asshole to the girls back then but look where he got them too, I doubt men were used to dealing with women in rock and roll back then...

[@meetmebythestatue]

it's so weird he LOOKS like michael shannon.... and just to add he's amazing (kim) - a hero

[@competetodefeat4610]

Yeah so amazeballs! I mean the way he used to drug and rape young vulnerable women, what a hero and a true idol.

[@msattler111]

Jesus....... He's NOT funny. The man is as much a spook as he looks. This bit is YEARS old, I am years old, and he still makes me as sick as the day I met hit with the gurlz way back......... I went through Joan's sexual bits, Cheri's emotional crash, the death of Sandy. These are bits of my life that cannot be relived or replaced. Some of you really suck at understanding things you were not there to experience. You really are..

[@buddbasset]

theres a lot professional written all over him:x very nervous if i was to talk to him:/ but he is still so bad ass

[@nirvanafanas]

he's such a freak but i fucking love it.

[@belia1313]

No he is a misunderstood genius think of it and listen to his words and his posture is of not of this world absolutely adore Kim he is a wonder-kin :-D

[@JDGonzo]

+richard salvator It doesn't make it any less abhorrent.

[@TehAccentra]

How the fuck did he start talking about his IQ

[@emjaiz]

lol @ 1:32 - 1:38

[@DARRINCONNOR1]

The movie is about you but youre not allowed on set.Makes perfect Hollywood sense

[@JCStorm76]

@os2bulldog 15 years

[@robstenlove07]

@tlkhnc No problemmm. (:

[@robstenlove07]

@tlkhnc You're welcomeee. (:

[@lemoniceluxe]

You guys might like him now, but read Cheri Currie's book. You won't like him very much anymore...

[@MizTypical]

Lol, I know, but then again they were on drugs a lot and were kinda used to his craziness by that point. But still, he went WAAAYY to far with the mental abuse...

[@RenataCasagrand3]

holly crap..no wonder cherie doesnt really like him...THE GUY is weird lol!

[@feliciatholen]

Creep... :0

[@Hitbymyride]

he scared me at 0:25 .....

[@kishanoua]

that "hey" in the beginning scared me. a lot. just saying.

[@pan_peligroso]

The interviewer had no clue who he was speaking to. Kim threw him off. He could not keep up with Kim’s strange personality.

[@zonks92]

@TheThegirlbehindyou u cant tell whats normal and whts not..

[@8000cheese]

Well he has a sense of humor, then again, he is creepy

[@bcsorensenman]

This is a rapist who was never prosecuted. Justice is mine sayeth the Lord. He escaped justice in this world but not in the next.

[@nathanthomasstickney8123]

Fk off

[@ITSMERlVER]

The interviewer sounds like a socially awkward kid who was forced to do this for a speech class in high school.. like... why are you an interviewer? Oh my god

[@RedPirate42]

Idk about Cherie but Joan thought he was funny

[@dreadbet]

create and destroy runaways in certain way

[@kitkatashley]

I kind of like this guy. He does not hide who he is and he pushed the Runaways to be as good as they later became. and that's great.

[@pcmcguire18504]

@TheThegirlbehindyou No, but other women really do.

[@killerteeth]

Wow this interviewer doesn't even know what to do haha

[@joseangelmartinezcamara2561]

Como engaño manipuló y destrozó la vida de las Runaways las explotó y les sacó el dinero
