captain beefheart interview Videos

pariahpete Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Yes. I saw them live, too. It was in an old movie theater in Staten Island. At the time, it reinforced the perception that they were totally unappreciated. I knew few Beefheart fans. People would say "how can you listen to that?". I couldn't understand why they couldn't. Then a band like the Talkin' Heads would come along, they'd go orgasmic, and I'd wonder what's the big freakin' deal? Their shit was boring after the fifth listening.

Jul 20, 2008 - i bet captain beefheart listened to a lot of jazz growing up

YHAVR Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - For someone who pretends to know all about this scene, it's quite strange you constantly referring to him as Vlient, while it's Van Vliet (or Vliet really). And are you on anti-psychotics? If not, you should.

YHAVR Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Blues actually...

tubemeokay Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - All you guys thinking beefheart was some sort of artist, should just listen to this catanonic state, that being beefheart. Geez H Christ, good stuff huh?? Everybody? The captain wants to make money, with tennille!! This guy is a lying perve and is a wacko!!

JackattackMF Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - het, sry all u beefheart fans. I cant get in too most of beefhearts albums, i really like clearspot and safe as milk. but, fuking hell i realy dont get trountface repucla - maybe ill get it when i am older. to me beefheart just seems like one of them artists who doesnt really know why he is good, like mark E smith. Because in troutmask replica it seems to me that the Idea has became more important than the music, in my opinion that is no longer music - maybe art. correct me if i am wrong cheers

stuartink Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - i met don in the foyer of the colston hall in bristol 73 during the first act we chatted for 1/2 hr and he drew me some sketches on scraps of paper

vliet2 Says:

LemonDavis Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Hi JackI own every official Beefheart record and quite a few (commercialized) bootlegs. I listened many times to all of them and I can only agree with you. TMR is so inaccessible that even for a big fan of his music it is difficult to honestly like it. You can be bewildered by the raw power and musical extravagance of the album, but sincerely being fulfilled with it, I doubt.To me there are four masterpieces: Safe as milk, Clear spot, Shiny beast and the original tapes of Strictly Personal.

TaylorConrad8098 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - trout mask replica is not for fans of traditional music, maybe if you're a fan of paintings, then maybe you'll like it. i like it because of its vast differences between tones

FrozenSilence Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - It reminds me sort of Joanna Newsom's voice.

Songwriter66 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I love Beefheart but i totally agree with some of the people here i dont like TMR simply because its un-listenable, i can't sit there and listen to TMR and enjoy it as i can with safe as milk etc, i do agree it is avant-garde but i'm not a fan of it at all. I still think beefheart was soo talented though

quaznXII Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - i love beefheart and TMR is my favorite record... i feel alone

vliet2 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - your certainly not alone

balnsoesn Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - you don't. one of the best albums ever made (produced by Frank Zappa)

Ramentastic Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I've listened to TMR so much sometimes I forget what's so weird about it.

swans1997 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - "If you want to be a different fish, you gotta jump out of the school". I like that one.

comfycommando Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I like watching his interviews more than his music. Don't really like his music at all actually.
