The Works - Tony Wilson interviews Ian Brown pt1.MPG

[@festersuncle6298]

In America, 1989, I heard "I wanna be adored" on "college radio" while at work. I was 18 years old and it stopped me in my tracks. If I was high I think I would have jumped thru a window. Still a great band.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

What is the best jumping through window music?

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@@Surv1ve_Thrive no music can top the feeling of being locked in a bedroom to go cold turkey, with just a window to escape. That's how you jump through a window with style

[@bmccallum2409]

Tony Wilson ... Unsung hero !! Much respect

[@pigeonheadedman5225]

I mean he's definitely a hero but I don't know if he is unsung, not everyone has a movie about themselves

[@RighteousBrother]

Yeah they should make a movie about him, they could get a multiple BAFTA award winning actor to play him, someone like Steve Coogan for example. They could call it something like, I dunno 24 Hour Party People.

[@stuartralph2212]

@@RighteousBrother wasn’t that a movie about Shaun Ryder’s UFO experience?

[@jonnypee2269]

Without the record player to put the records on there’s no music. Tony is the record player feel myself filling up I’ve lived in Manchester nearly 50 years and this band made the run down area worth walking about again ... Walkman shit headphones orange sponges size of car tyres and flares to fit your shoplifting in lol miss the freedom

[@christopherpeacock1421]

@@stuartralph2212 no, it was a film about factory records and most of what was associated with the company, ie, the clubs, the bands, the band members and the people surrounding the record label. If you are being sarcastic in your comment and you knew this then I apologise for stating the obvious, if you wasn’t then you should pay more attention to what you’re watching and take in all the information given to you via the film and process it a bit better, this would give you a better understanding about the film

[@nick78447]

So beautifully, Northern. Utterly unaware of their supreme talent. This is what Tony loved, I think.

[@shareschannel]

like that he said "i dont want to form another band cos ill never get another band as good as this" what a legend i met him and got ians autograph in 2004 and ive fucking lost it.. FML :(

[@patriciawalker9002]

Classic Interview, thanks Ian, you are a true legend xxx

[@placidcasual9872]

Tony Wilson was a visionary and a hero. Fair play. Credit due. The Roses though.... on that other side of midnight show. If you could bottle that.... its just obvious their time had come... they look and sound incredible. They knew it. So different. So ready. Its effortless, not forced or contrived. There is no media machine driving it. It had to happen. Glorious.

[@vanman757]

Tony Wilson was desperate to sign "The Stone Roses" to "Factory Records" back then...

[@Soulrollsdeep]

You can feel the respect for Tony from Ian in this. Can't say I've seen any other interviews where Ian looks remotely as involved

[@billymkirkwood4956]

[@robertcaffrey6097]

Tony Wilson was great in many ways. He was early to spot the sparks that set the world alight.

[@niitsukid]

Tony Wilson hated the roses when they were trying to get a break ! They had to play outside Manchester couldn’t get a gig - props to Wilson to admitting he was wrong

[@lucasoheyze4597]

That's not quite true. He turned them down- when they were still a punky goth band- but he didn't impede their career any.

[@niitsukid]

I think he also had a grudge against the roses manager - so made sure they didn’t get bookings

[@MonkeyMagicMonk]

God to Tony Wilson: "But you were right about Mick Hucknell, his music's rubbish and he's a ginger".

[@revol148]

@Tom Prince even more ironic when you think of all the bands Factory signed (Revenge for example) which were atrocious - and the ones he did sign were milked of all their worth in order to bankroll his loss-making night club !

Tony introduced Joy Division. that vibe, that music is alive for 40+ years trough all the brit pop, house, techno, grunge even. Prodigy!

[@katewolfspirit6722]

Ian Brown is such an interesting character, very talented and charismatic but without being big headed. I have been listening to a lot of his stuff recently. F.E.A.R remains one of the best songs of the last 20 years. Stellify and First World Problems being my other faves. As a fellow Pisces I think he is complex and brutally honest yet remains true to himself. Top bloke!

[@strumbolli]

I met him at an Audioweb gig in Liverpool Uni in the mid 90's. He was approachable and spent a good half hour in our company. There were only about 30 people at the gig and Ian was one of them. Yes, First World Problems is a fine tune.
