Mick Karn Interview, 1983 480p Quality

[@Bends95]

Fascinating musician who’s criminally underrated and surely missed..RIP Mick

[@siientsinger6637]

RIP Mick , you were very special, unique, a craftsman with 4 and 5 strings , i'm honoured to have seen you live 3 times , god bless you ////

[@ster2600]

What a legend. His basslines are completely insane

[@fittherapywellness]

Mick Karn was absolutely gorgeous, elegant, and very regal. 🥰✨💕He just takes your breath away. 😔 😢🕊️💐💖

[@Clown90125]

I sometime put a Japan album on purely to listen to Mick Karn's incredible bass playing.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

My goodness Mick Karn was utterly stunning, sigh. And his fretless bass playing was and is THE best

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Pino Palladino's work with Gary Numan was pretty great, as well.

[@Romanesquire]

One of the most talented men ever. His prowess was beyond any I’ll ever experience. Not just his bass playing but synth, percussion and of course horns. So many levels of genius. Truly missed.

[@urlocal80sfan]

I love Mick so much, and he does NOT look like he’d have the voice he does 😭. He’s gorgeous and sooo talented. RIP Mick Karn :(

[@smileylpsgirl]

amazing dude. not many bass players i enjoy more than his material

[@susanmayo1176]

He was such a legend and a rare talent . His bass playing was fascinating and inspiring . His dance moves were iconic too . Sadly missed . Thank you Mick for the fantastic music ❤️🙏❤️

[@jezzyby47]

I had 'Titles' by Mick Karn on cassette. This track 'Passion in Moisture' is an excellent example of how only Mick could make a fretless 'talk' like that.

[@wellbehaveddogs7694]

Mick, you are one the biggest influences on my musical career. Hope you're still grooving in the great gig in the sky!

[@duncandistortion]

never forget my mother shouting 'it sounds like a bull frog' when i was playing it.

[@bassplayer1966]

I LOVE THIS! MICK WAS A SUPERSTAR!

[@Mudge07]

Such wonderful movement, music and dance; the contrast of tension with a strong hint of Argentine tango mesmerized me.

[@domesticfoxy]

Thank you mick for all that great music

[@TeddyPomPom]

What an incredible guy

[@hollowmenrule]

RIP indeed. Such a unique talent. Great to see he had any period of time apart from japan and able to experiment in different directions

[@cosmic6937]

This dance is absolutely fantastic! Just discovering Mick Karn's work. Should be performed on Strictly Come Dancing-wouldn't that be great?

[@paulkazjack]

No! Strictly is anything but strict. It's a fixed show they know who the inner is before the series starts.

[@radioactive_p1ssy.boy.]

But he already passed away

[@robertcourtney7649]

Great bass player and very handsome man🎸🎷👍

[@dowlingthebakuninbot7691]

Very talented bassist, but yes handsome man. I know Sylvian is obviously beautiful, but Karn was a strikingly, almost mysterious look. Never thought about that before.

[@GiorgioAmakusaShirouBerzerker]

BASS GOD... MICK KARN.

[@darylchambers5945]

I went to his sculpture exhibition, and saw a number of those items seen here on the clip. Added bonus: "That looks like Sue Menhenick.....it IS Sue Menhenick" A top dancer, and stunningly attractive woman.

[@manqr]

Genius, unpredictable. Robot like dancing can be artful with music. Robot like music can be artful with dancing. Such a talent. Looks like the dancer’s tend to move faster. I think there’s a synchronization problem.

[@manqr]

Between the video and sound.

[@poldemlg]

Mick: we miss you.

[@daviddring2365]

Such a talented guy

[@lili69262]

Amazing Mick ! Thanks for sharing !

[@echodream]

Polytown (Torn, Karn, Bozzio) is a fantastic album !!!

[@Ontwoone1]

A great genius, my bass style will take a new direction ❤

[@danypeju]

The Maestro

[@harolddutton3772]

Mick Karn was the man. One of the best English bassists of all time, no contest.

[@spookybaba]

Nationality doesn't come into it. Show me a more original bass player worldwide.

[@MrThomas1958]

thank you

[@dumdumfriend]

Thanks for the quality!

[@AssociationAdmirer]

I got into Mick Karn's stuff when Three Part Species came out. 2006? It really doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess it took me over a decade to get around to picking up The Concrete Twin and Titles. Such an expressive musician; thanks for sharing this brief look at the man behind the music.

[@jindai1959]

MickKarnの話し声が低くてバリトンVoiceなのが最高!アートが趣味で彫刻の作品は彼独特の物で良いですね

[@Maxiclaudi]

Shoot, I saw the Ballet Rambert perform in Tokyo in 1990, never realised he was involved at a certain time!

[@neerajthapa2982]

Great artist !!!

[@ariesscorpiorising]

Thanks for posting this !!! ;D

[@doodleyourexampaper7995]

think about a hall full of people all dancing like that.

[@DurhamGooner]

'Sensitive' is a sensational piece of music.

[@beverley6312]

Such a beautiful man ❤

[@lizc2023]

So hot RIP

MICK KARN R.I.P

[@SiosOrangeCore]

So strange but perfect

[@jamesgretsch4894]

This guy is smart, he was a Psychotherapist too.

[@jezza10181]

Superb

[@novo611]

😔🙏

[@Kinesiology411]

And kudos to Mick for not taking the opportunity to badmouth Sylvian, who definitely deserved it, and kept it focused on creativity. Very rare.

[@Jonathan1997hk-ln4yk]

In what why did DS deserve it ?

[@kdp8133]

@@Jonathan1997hk-ln4ykDS pinched MK’s girlfriend, Yuma Fujii, back in the day. That led to massive tension between the band and David and Mick stopped speaking to each other. David defended his actions by saying Mick’s behaviour was to blame and she felt unwelcome at times in her own home.

[@Jonathan1997hk-ln4yk]

@@kdp8133 ok thanks 🙏

[@Kinesiology411]

I could easily see Pina Bausch's company using Mick's music. Maybe they already have?

[@markduncan3806]

has anyone mentioned the lovely decor where the interviews conducted.its kind of like if clive barker did up your living room

[@AA4PJM]

Was some of his sculpture. He was also a talented artist. I saw him live when he was with Japan. He died on January 4th, my birthday. Rest in peace angel x

[@markduncan3806]

@@AA4PJM I know about him. Was just having a giggle. Not stepping on his grave or nothing. Settle

[@ajs41]

The dancing looks like it was heavily influenced by the body-popping/robotic dancing craze of the early/mid 1980s.

[@a51stef]

Hi there, nice interview stuff here! ? He is still my heroe! Thansk for sharing this. I played a JB song with my fretless bass and put all Mick influence in there. Will tiy cmment me please?

[@jake-fj2zi]

did he ever end up writing music for ballet? edit: never mind, addressed in the video, lol

[@essy111]

Anyone know what Mick means by this hand busienss? Did they ever come to life Compare Dreams of Reason produce monsters

[@asianfacility5682]

Who are his wife and children?

[@no_wire_hangers]

Wife Kyoko, son Metis

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Mick Karn or John Taylor?

[@dodibenabba1378]

Behave!

[@spookybaba]

Yeah! Behave!!! 🤣

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Karn was the originator but Taylor is an excellent player. So both.

[@richardmortimer8147]

I always loved Japan, and part of their sound was Mick's fretless bass. Sounds funny now. Like flatulence!

[@Katehowe3010]

It certainly does on this chaotic bilge!

[@LeviTate2000]

Smoking killed Karn

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Life killed Andonis Michaelides. I'm going to miss this man's music so much. I think he'd really hit a run of form with the albums Each eye a path, More better different, Three part species and The Concrete twin. This track, Passion in moisture, sounds so modern to my ears, as does much of Titles. So talented and yet so apparently full of self doubt. Seems to so often be the way with the truly gifted.

[@EthanolEnthusiast]

Yeah, you can hear it in his voice at this point in time he smoked a lot.

Some interview. About 1 minute with Mick, and the rest a load of bollocks.

[@viktrolla1374]

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS
