Tori Amos Nylon interview 8 August 2017

MILITIA OF THE MIND!!

[@mallorymcavoy4991]

My life wouldn't be the same without growing up listening to tori Amos!! Her music raised me and taught me how to be a strong woman!!

[@sugarhaiku]

Mallory McAvoy SAME!!! I tell people all the time that Tori raised me. I've been listening to her since I was 11...she has been there for me throughout all of my teen years, my hardships, my relationships, the birth of my children.... Each album marks a milestone in my life. My oldest son is now a senior in high school and watching him and his sisters grow into their own individual selves brings me back to the beginning of my relationship with Tori... I feel like this album will bring everything full circle.

[@rygy82]

Mallory McAvoy I totally agree. She has taught he how to be an ally, a friend, a lover, a human. I've lived for her sonic landscapes and conscious lyricism. I cannot wait for Portland!!!!!

[@michaelanastas2620]

I agree Mallory. The only difference is that she taught you how to be a strong woman, Tori taught me how to be a strong man!

[@mallorymcavoy4991]

Yaaay! Got my tickets!! New Orleans here!

[@MarcelinoSoliz]

Michael Anastas I completely agree. She did help me learn to be a man and not someone else's idea of what a man is. She teaches so many about things they never would've thought before.

[@SeraQuelle]

I never thought her approach to her art made her a kook, I never feel she's disingenuous when she speaks about the muses, she's sane and humble so I refuse to listen to people who think she's crazy. And she's never claimed to be finished as an artist. Her music wouldn't have changed so dramatically over the years. She's taught me not to ever ignore my muses or think I'm ever "finished" as a writer.

[@alleveddet118]

Yes I think she's much more relaxed than expected Positive and calm atmosphere in this interviews but honmest was my first impression off this .a little like I didn't expect her to be like that..not because I didn't like her here ..well ....

[@teresagabriel730]

Tori is a GENIUS. musical genius. gifted soul. visionary. pioneer. love her forever and ever.

[@50goldstrat101]

Tori is facinating to listen to. She is very intelligent and genuine.

[@DavidDatura]

And a little out there too...but nothing wrong with that!

[@johnconstantinemarinakiski8128]

She has Sun in Leo in the 9th house hence her keen take on philosophy and psychology. How she references archetypes and the collective unconscious is all 9th house stuff. Love her.

[@uhuhyup5328]

@@johnconstantinemarinakiski8128 thanks for this. Always wondered what her chart looked like. Never bothered checking it out though, but now i know. That configuration is very much how she comes across. That's why.

[@FalardeMusicaeLegal]

I learn a lot with her songs, but I learn even more when she speaks ❤

[@ladivacastrejon]

So delightfull listening to her journey as a human being and as an artist at this point of her life. Her reflections about nature, the power of words, being on the spotlight, success... She´s deep but not pretencious, what a great artist, so unique!

[@MsFitnut]

Tori has always been an inspiration - I've only seen her live once in Oakland in the early 90's and it was the most amazing show, her talent is mind altering. She is beautiful on every single level.

[@SerenaConcertina]

Tickles me pink that they were visiting the Smoky Mtn. national park when she began this album, the song writing process. I’ve lived on and at the foot of those mountains my entire life.

[@666chinchilla]

very special energy!!!

[@sarahford2536]

Tori never disappoints in an interview. Mad props to the interviewer, too.

[@MMMonster93]

Literally changes my life slightly every time I listen to her speak. Tori wins the award for Every Single Comment on a KZbin video being positive btw.

[@davidstrutz7879]

My goodness, when you realize the beauty surrounding all of us, it shows. And it couldn't have chosen a better ambassador; when inner beauty shows through so easily its genuine. I've never seen so many beautiful women than Tori Amos.

[@brandonlim7186]

I can listen to her telling stories for the whole day. What a great interview. Thanks for posting.

[@louismartinezjr9617]

I love how she is in interviews.

[@AB-bt9eb]

LOVE TORI!! Phenomenal interview.

[@MarcelinoSoliz]

My heart is broken for her mother. They are so close it seems. And I hope she gets better.

[@demelzabrooks1899]

Beautiful legend 💜

[@jazzy6444]

Wonderful interview. It's nice to see a journalist ask thoughtful questions from a fan's perspective. Can't wait to hear the new album. As many have said before, Tori's music has had such a huge impact on me and I will forever be a fan.

[@katee9746]

So much in love when listening to this interview, can't wait for a new album. Thank you Tori!

[@AndreDreamlover]

Tori is truly an amazing soul, can't wait for Native Invader! Looks like it will be one of her best albums since Scarlet's Walk

[@evangelineencarnacion1781]

i could listen to boys for pele all day. i guess i always want it to be that time of day ❤️😭 i love the others too though so that’s a hard choice

[@evangelineencarnacion1781]

but it would be a good early morning album and then the rest would transition well throughout the day. end ramble

[@christinecassidy2689]

Artist with a capital "A."

[@bobbylee_]

Great interview! I love her comments about words and communication.

[@AndreDreamlover]

Also, she looks gorgeous!

[@TroyGrey]

Oustanding interviewer and Tori was warm, wise and enchanting as always.

[@sdrewe99]

Interesting perspective and outlook Tori possesses!

[@yellowmelancholy4875]

I don’t quite know what it is, but Tori seems so nurturing and motherly. Her voice, her words, her posture. When I hear her speak in interviews, it’s like I want to hug her.

[@seekah1]

Great to hear the direction of the new album, thankyou.

[@consciouscoma85]

thank you tori Amos. this is more like artist therapy for me. one that i received actual answers to my questions.....and from a line in her song WINTER i need to love my self as much as my mom did when she was alive. i believe that would be her wish ,i realize now she was verry proud of me .now its time for me to be proud of me.

[@nikiddeal]

I would love for Tori to teach a music theory class! I would be there!

[@FrootKat]

nikideal oh absolutely yes yes yes music theory is like potion making!!

[@fluorescenticon101]

I've read that she isn't highly well-versed in music theory...

[@mikayocc]

Wow elements of Choirgirl?! I can't wait to hear it!!

[@thezuh1398]

Great interview 👍 Wonderful to hear in depth questions.

[@panthyrmusic7853]

yes tori! Speak it! Can't wait to see ya on tour

[@agustinblanco9161]

Thank you so much for this!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@sorcerer1975]

I love this lady ! Can't wait to listen to " Native Invader " ...

[@mikayocc]

Do you know how happy it makes me that Tori is starting to look like herself again? I thought the plastic surgery took away her natural beauty, but she's looking like her beautiful, natural self again! We love you Tori, please don't ever touch your gorgeous face!

[@caliden3785]

that is what I thought too I did not like her plastic face look she looks much better now

[@DavidDatura]

Yes, what ever happened to her before, she's looking great now and like herself again.

[@S_E_R_]

How about y'all mind your business? Do any of you live with TMJ and have you lived with it for nearly four decades? She HAD to have procedures done to her mouth and face to ease the pain. Otherwise she could have had major sinus problems. I mean, she used to have spine problems that required her sleeping with a back brace cuz of TMJ! And who knows? Maybe she got additonal procedures after. It doesn't matter. There isn't anything wrong with having cosmetic procedures done and it's none of your fucking business what she does with her body. Don't you bring your misogny/internalized misogyny around here.

[@stephss]

Maybe spend more time judging the person in the mirror, and respecting ones autonomy. It's her life, and hers alone. Get over yourself.

[@JesseColton]

This topic has been talked about to death, but for the record I don't think Tori ever actually had plastic surgery. I think she just flirted with botox and stuff like that for a while. Her facial structure never really changed, and a big part of it was that she purposely wore very unusual makeup for a lot of touring in the late 2000's

[@nikiddeal]

Nature is crying out that we need to take care of our planet better!!!

[@suk4honesty]

I love her so fucking much

[@ruinsane100]

Great interview all around. Excellent questions.

[@johnconstantinemarinakiski8128]

Y Kant Tori Read has some great songs like Cool On Your Island. Native Invader's Reindeer King, Climb and Bang are masterpieces.

[@luluvox]

SUCH a good interview.

[@tumeninodes8870]

Still beautiful..., inside and out.

[@latnboii]

I love you Tori!

[@jkitty1089]

Interviewing Tori would be a nightmare! lol-I love her.

[@JeremySiedzik]

so many loves

[@lawrenceraj1]

"... so we have to hope that that 'progression' (progressive vision) does get into the upper echelons of 'power' in the music industry..." ... In addition to the upper echelons of 'power' in the political, economic and social industries as well. At least that's what I derived from this magical, muse-mining interview myself... Thanks! :-)

[@briw3385]

I love u Tori

[@CS-nw9si]

Some serious accidental ASMR here

[@deathmetalpotato]

I guess I'm a pig but Tori is looking extraordinarily hot these days 😍

[@heididewhirst]

We are still allowed to appreciate each other's appearance, even in this crazy age don't worry.

[@mikayocc]

You're not a pig! She's gorgeous!

your a sweet pig

[@3t-sm954]

CLAY MADE star dust🔱

[@EthnHayabusa]

Really didn't expect her to talk about Zappa. Rad.

[@glynnaschmehl1904]

I'm sorry, but that hat is so radical. I'm not jealous of you, I'm so happy for you. I wore a seagull hat on my wedding day.

[@3t-sm954]

Love weaponry warrants Peace in response

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

I would love to hear what she thinks about the alt-left in the US (Marxist feminists). I love that she never hated on men or played the victim. Women who don't use their wounds to lord over others are powerful beyond measure.

[@pearlgirl5643]

She looks like she’s in a disguise. I feel like the giant glasses, wigs and hats really put a barrier between her and the audience, in stark contrast to her earlier years where she made intense eye contact while connecting with her audience.

[@bigtimetorifan]

I looooove Tori (notice my youtube name below) but i soo so wish she wasn't so enamoured w/ the specs as to me they detract from her lovely face 😪

[@carolinepeizert8413]

😊

[@cliffdweller]

While watching this interview, I thought of a great question which might throw Tori for a loop: Where do you think you would be today if Y Kant Tori Read was a huge success? I'm guessing she might say something like "in a mental institution."

[@msmegs93]

Does anyone know the approximate release date of this new album? I adore her, and cant wait?

[@CarolH2O]

Its Sept 18 according to the interview here...

[@irishelk3]

Ooh, nylons, i do like nylon i have to say.

[@lorgnetteify]

Can Tori do a cover of Watermelon in easter hay? ❤

[@MarcelinoSoliz]

If I had a chance to sit with Tori and talk I would faint and she wouldn't be impressed. Not that I have any reason to be impressing.

[@glynnaschmehl1904]

I don't understand about politics, Tori. I thought this was about hats.

[@glynnaschmehl1904]

Are you sure it's not a disguise ?

[@pearlgirl5643]

@@glynnaschmehl1904 I was thinking she looks like she’s in disguise.

[@JPMJPM]

She mentioned traveling to the Smokies with Jay. Who is Jay? Has anyone listened to the new album? Is it accessible like the first 7 or so albums? I haven’t kept up with Tori in awhile.

[@lamontdeese4030]

JP M she went to the Smokies with Johnny, that's her manager. John Witherspoon. And, yes, Native Invader is phenomenal.

[@JPMJPM]

Lamont Deese Thanks!

[@aliisakalma8245]

"it's an emotional record" all of your lyrics are very emotional so much so it's cheesy, not necessarily in a bad way. Sometimes i wish i got them but i mostly just enjoy the music. so how "emotional" can this one b?

[@RTGrimmer]

Argh, no audio!

[@arctic.winter]

When glasses becomes face shield

[@meganwarman6688]

God?? Is that you??

[@CarolH2O]

Wait...the album isn't out until Sept 18? Oooohhhhh...I thought it was August 8th...ok now I know...

[@TheToriMountain]

8 September :)

[@pearlgirl5643]

Why does she call her mother Mary?

[@marcholland1554]

She's turning into the crazy cat lady down the street.

[@cliffdweller]

The crazy cat lady with 60 million dollars.

[@MySensualWorld]

@@cliffdweller Likely more than 60 million, online said she was worth 60 million years ago

[@cvasudevan82]

Tori looks like a female version of Warrel Dane here!

[@perspicaciouscritic]

Will every interviewer please stop using that overused, cliché word "legendary"? Please? Otherwise, solid interview with good questions.

[@harmonyqueue]

This girl shouldn't have done this interview. She clearly has no clue who Tori is or why Tori is considered an icon in music.

[@perspicaciouscritic]

@ Hsoj Retep (who whinged, "This girl shouldn't have done this interview. She clearly has no clue who Tori is..."): 7:40 - Keryce Chelsi Henry (To Tori Amos): "[Boys for Pele] was the album that introduced me to you..."

[@lucretiavillagran]

I'm sure she does. The questions are for an audience who might not know who Tori is. You know, not just the hardcore fans that already know everything there is to know about her, but those who are young and may just be discovering Tori.

[@Saravon]

Terrible interviewer, she just has no clue who Tori is and what she leans towards believing. I kept cringing.

[@akashg746]

Tony...Tori idk is looking very manly
