[@claytonstrickland8336]

"I ain't no thief, we just have the same stuff" is one of my favorite lines ever.

[@peterelbert]

His vibe is on another level. That gravely voice, that super self assured, cynical, aloof hunched over manner, those tattoos and cigarette and the ease and willingness to whip out those swear words, the clean white tea and neat hair to top it off. he is an aesthetic unto himself.

thats prett y gay dude

[@ItsNikoHIMself]

You already married him?

I was a late comer ...found this band about a year ago ...THEY GIVE ME HOPE THAT PUNK IS NOT DEAD !!!

Punk rock never fucking dies.

[@ro0ter88]

This might be the most star struck I have ever seen any person ever be. So much fun to watch.

[@whatsthestory2612]

Thank you for watching. This was my first interview in over 20 years and yes, I was Starstruck to meet Sebastian Murphy. He was very nice to grant me this interview.

[@pfran1]

It was shades of the Chris Farley Show. But I loved the passion and enthusiasm.

Damn, Sebastian looks way healthier than he did :)

He both attracts and repels in equal measure

[@manmeetsingh1712]

Live with your mistakes, such an inspiring message from my hero. Let me get back and finish my cokc now.

[@claytonstrickland8336]

They should have "I'm Loose" merch available.

[@JETFOURLITRE]

Nice dude. Ain't no thief cracks me up. I laugh every time I hear it. These impossibly unique items that are obviously stolen and the absurd excuses, love it 😂

[@davidkline4372]

Ha ha! I love it. He says "don't get any tattoos with meaning behind them. Get what looks good" immediately afterward he explains the meaning behind loose tattooed on his forehead...

[@mikkomarkuskaariainen9023]

Dude the interviewer was so visibility excited yet held it together so well. A class act interviewer! This video was a nice surprise since most small interview channels are pretty rough.

Totally!! Great question about Devo. Totally can hear the influence.

Thank you sir. We are all DEVO.

[@caseykunning6219]

Nice! Downloaded Cave World on my friends computer incognito a while back. Show up last week to hang and he yells at me “Leave Society Be A Monkey” as I’m walking up. This album is so good! Makes me feel good to share with like minded folk. 🙏🏻

[@yolawells7015]

Yes what a lovely voice i most certainly would listen to more audio books if that gorgeous voice was reading to me x

[@avaadore4492]

This dude is as excited as Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney on The Chris Farley Show. lol

[@ClubENTP]

Wow!!! I just saw this band in Portland this October where they opened for Queens of the Stone Age. I never even herd of this band and walked away that night with a NEW favorite band. I would love to interview Sebastian and I just posted a video review of , Ain't Nice. I believe Sebastian is an ENTP personality type. He was Los on stage 100%. Thank You, Viagra Boys for putting on a great show that night in the “Hockey Arena” Memorial Theater

[@whatsthestory2612]

When I found them, they instantly became my favorite band, and then I got to meet him. It was awesome. Sebastian was really nice to me.

[@foghatrocks]

Love DEVO and love the Viagra Boys!

Meeting Sebastain was awesome and I was hyped.

[@kittenfuud]

I wanna see an interview with Oskar, translated! THAT man is an Amazing musical talent. Seb is beyond cool, but Oskar and Bennie.... there's a Reason Sebastian moved from SF to Stockholm. He said he couldn't find any decent musicians. He was correct about finding the right ones in Sweden! Punk Jazz. Plus DEVO. Whatta concept. 🦐

[@johncin7098]

Perhaps a crazy question but did you use to write for "The Pheonix" ? Devo, omg we are all showing our age. Just found these guys yesterday I am hooked they are great plus the whole cooperation with Amy Taylor thing so fun.

[@whatsthestory2612]

No I never wrote for the Phoenix. It must be a different Dan Kennedy

ha no way, was just thinking the other day, i wonder what his forehead tattoo means.

Gotta luv fanatically desperate and over zealous fanboy interviewers

So smart, sexy and the voice !!!

[@djr3000]

I thought he would be English when I watched the video to research chemicals. That's just what drug culture is like in UK, and didn't know they had pubs like that in America. Looks British. The song captures the vibe well

[@ms-jl6dl]

That pub is swedish.

[@johnmontiel3533]

Nice job bringing public awareness to adrenochrome.

[@nathanmadonna9472]

This dude was born in California but then he moved to Sweden. I'm glad they use English because they're a great band and I can't understand Swedish.

[@memorycamp4990]

American accent? Where’s he from again?

[@whatsthestory2612]

San Francisco

[@havefunbesafe]

Los is the divine aspect of the imagination. After he becomes more mechanical and regular in his actions, he falls and becomes part of the material world. In the fallen state, he becomes the creator of life and of organic systems. He also creates reproduction and the sexes, with his own partner Enitharmon soon after being created. He then creates consciousness through evolution, which leads to the creation of humans.

[@Analoguebubblebath89]

I like seb, dude seems a little strung out. Hope he’s ok 💪🏼

[@kylemc0254]

I want someone to ask what he thinks of the great awakening, vaccines, 5g and flat earth
