He really seems to like the interviewer, Boyd, which wasn't always the case with the other interviews I've seen. He's relaxed and at home, great video.
This video is a little gem. Every now and then something pops up about the Good Doctor. So thanks for that Mr. Matson. If you have more Hunter S. Thompson footage, please share it with us (being admirers of his work). Thanks again!
I'm glad there hasn't been another of him around today. I say that cause some people should never be replicated because they're so organic in nature that a clone wouldn't be as good.
I saw you also posted this video on your website and wrote: 'Someday I’ll write the full story of everything that happened that day and night, but for now just enjoy the part of the encounter we deemed suitable for morning television in 1988.' I sure as hell would like to hear (read) that story :)
Lol i know right! no way anyone drinks like that and remains concious without cocaine. Try it. Do some coke or LSD and drink a gallon of whiskey and you wont feel a drop. Its true!!
I think he was a great man I know he wasn't Perfect None of us are. But I think he was a great person and he had alot of surgeries too. Rip He talk me alot.
That's nothing. In a day he'd snort coke, drink several glasses of Chivas whiskey, drink Chartreuse liquor, have a few bottles of Heineken, drink some gin,Margaritas, smoke pot, and take Halcion so he could sleep.
his style of writing was coined long before the muppet of the same name. Johnny Depp played Dr. Thompson. The book was written well before the movie. Watch the documentary: Gonzo
He seems to drive fine though that's part of what is so scary, all the substance abuse has little effect on his coordination. I do wonder why his complex is called "owl farm" though when it's full of peacocks. He's a conundrum.
And thompson did it on purpose drinking and snorting coce while driving host looks at Thompson, Thompson says a good driver too and veres into oncoming lane purposely when saying " a good driver too"
probably a blank but you never know the way the camera jerks worries me seems like he didn't expect it. i don't think hunter was the kind of guy to buy blanks.
Councilman Les Wynan I doubt its a double action revolver. Meaning there’s no way for him to fire a second shot without cocking the hammer back and therefore no immediate threat to the camera guy
i have never understood how anyone- except through gruelling practise - can ever be a functioning addict. i certainly never was, it's disturbing and remarkable to witness. quite the individual
I think it is poignant how he refers to either being an observer or a participant. The catch here is -- what made you watch while others were involved? A principle or fear? Or both? Where should the hatred fall? Of course righteously on the one making things worse for others.
What was he doing to that truck , he destroyed the radiator hose for fun ? Is that what cocaine does to you ? Also I hate seeing him spilling his drink lol. 🙂
I don’t want to be responsible for u going insane with or without anger. You’re reading too much into the title of what was a different kind of series on a news program. The title was an implied double meaning, flying the coupe meaning stories about people out of the mainstream, marching to the beat of a different drummer, or people who had flown the safety of the coop. And of course the coupe referred to the car as a means of finding these people. Technically my car was not a coupe be classic definition but Cadillac introduced a model in the 40’s called the Coupe de Ville and the public kept referring to later convertible versions of the DeVille as the Coupe de Ville. So I took two once popular phrases with the public, flying the coop and the Coupe de Ville and made a series title with a double meaning.
Well then wait another 10 years and a whole generation of idiots will be around to make up baseless conspiracies that wont be provable but will insist on them being true
@@madpatriot7464 ah yes the sheep argument. However that doesnt really hold up when the subject at hand doesnt yet have any solid conspiracy theories for idiots like you to accuse people like me of being some sort of conformist because you havent pulled a paranoid obtuse idea out of your ass yet to explain how he died
So where is your gonzo hero now, just when it seams we may need a man of his stature most he seams to be MIA, why is that, did the drink finally catch up to him?
A half gallon of scotch i would have stooped interview immediately and told my viewers we refuse to air the misguided paranoid itterings of a hopeless intoxicated alcoholic
so did this guy star in that movie as himself then, or did he right the script the movie was based in. Either way who is he and why is his way of writing named after a Muppet? Seams lame...

How do you want to be remembered?
"As a nice guy and an athlete... a good driver" Hunter says as he drives on the wrong side of the road.
They watch him pound all that booze and give him the keys to a land yacht, godbless the 80's.
lolololol
JJ PopNFresh He always drank that much. Every single day of his life. It was normal. He's probably drunk as fuck but felt sober
They forgot to mention that he did a massive grip of blow everyday
It was a different time people didn't give a shit lol
He's driving right down the middle of the road at the end.
Just when I thought I had seen every clip of the good doctor 1000 times THIS shows up. THANKS!!!
Same!
"I don't know why I feel like I have to be involved, but I see what happens when I don't get involved.
I get pushed around." - Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter will never be forgotten. Absolute legend. Period.
Is he trying to act like jim layhey?
love how the interviewer pretends to understand him and just moves on to the next question
He's like a drugged out red foreman
lol
As your attorney i advise you.
He really seems to like the interviewer, Boyd, which wasn't always the case with the other interviews I've seen. He's relaxed and at home, great video.
“I find ways to avoid work... and I haven’t done too badly...” I like this guy.
Amerikkka-toil for little gain??EGO-WE WORK HARD-SO
FUCK..G WHAT-EGO-GET A LIFE
He was 50 here. Had 17 years left. He mentions how he lived 17 years too long so I'm curious what happened during this year.
Definitely one of my favourite videos of Hunter! Love him for so many reasons.
This video is a little gem. Every now and then something pops up about the Good Doctor. So thanks for that Mr. Matson. If you have more Hunter S. Thompson footage, please share it with us (being admirers of his work). Thanks again!
I lived like Hunter for a good 20 years of my life and it’s tiring to say the least.
I went hunter for 2 years after my divorce. Its liberating after being under the thumb
@@iAmIronMan0605 Did you just drink booze or did you get everything from booze to ether?
@@johnb.8687
I drank as much as I could with my anti depressants and fucked as many women as I could
Me too. Jail stopped me.
agreed
Agreed . This is a hard to find clip. Great posting. Thanks so much from a HST collector.
Depps portrayal of him was pretty spot on
He got away with it, that was the reality he embraced. Good god man he must have led one of the most interesting lives out there.
I'm glad there hasn't been another of him around today. I say that cause some people should never be replicated because they're so organic in nature that a clone wouldn't be as good.

he already did its that popular one
@@cloudsombrero is it still out there? I don't see it?
I Love this Man, I love his style
I love Generation of Swine, it's the first book I ever read of his.
0:16 - 0:24 - an excellent transition.
Oh man, this is just great. Thanks so much for posting it!
is he holding a rock of Coke in his right fist?
Yes
I think it's napkin.
One word. Cocaine.
Lol i know right! no way anyone drinks like that and remains concious without cocaine. Try it. Do some coke or LSD and drink a gallon of whiskey and you wont feel a drop. Its true!!
@Dog Is Not Amused yea that was my point. I agree
Cocaine is a helluva drug 😂
I love him
when you look at this, one have to mention how good Jonny Depp portraid his friend on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I thought the same
Beautiful drive in those hills
Those fuckin' short shorts and tube socks. 🤣
His body language does not show a man at ease. Hope he found some peace.
His body image shows he did some blow before the cameras were rolling.
Respect achieved
He was 50 this was made. The age he expressed he wished he died at
march11stoneytony correct. You know your HST facts well.
He shot himself seventeen years later
Simon Gao o
march11stoneytony has come
i thought he said at 65 he wished he died. not at 50
What I'd give for one crazy ass night with the bold and wild with Hunter .S .T.
✊This was refreshing. ✊
I think he was a great man I know he wasn't Perfect None of us are. But I think he was a great person and he had alot of surgeries too. Rip He talk me alot.
Good stuff
"...Bible whiskey guns he must be nuts well that's where I give them one I might be nuts "
What are you going back home to? Classic...
Do native speakers struggle with understanding of what Hunter is saying?
Ну надо же😮
Yes, even to Americans he needs to be subtitled sometimes 😆 Brilliant man, chronic mumbler.
So boyd, were his takes on the politics of the 80s overstated?
What is the whiskey he is holding up at 4:26
Looks like Chivas regal
i enjoyed this lil video so much. is the original longer ? and where can i find it ?
Two bloody marys, three beers and three shots of Irish Baileys Kream and two WATER glasses of scotch.
That's nothing. In a day he'd snort coke, drink several glasses of Chivas whiskey, drink Chartreuse liquor, have a few bottles of Heineken, drink some gin,Margaritas, smoke pot, and take Halcion so he could sleep.
Yeah that was my intention I meant it was nothing for him. I wouldn't be able to walk if I remained conscious at all.
his style of writing was coined long before the muppet of the same name. Johnny Depp played Dr. Thompson. The book was written well before the movie. Watch the documentary: Gonzo
Well uhhh, no shit.
Or read his books like "Better Than Sex."
Different times. The yuppies today would crucify you for putting this in the ether.
3:34 I have this poster on my wall
Thnx for upload never seen before. We need all the HST we can get these days 🐖
Takes some nuggets to get in a car with Hunter at the wheel !
Why is that? He is a doctor, after all.
He seems to drive fine though that's part of what is so scary, all the substance abuse has little effect on his coordination. I do wonder why his complex is called "owl farm" though when it's full of peacocks. He's a conundrum.
And thompson did it on purpose drinking and snorting coce while driving host looks at Thompson, Thompson says a good driver too and veres into oncoming lane purposely when saying " a good driver too"
*coke
Very nice
Did Hunter S. Thompson just fire a live round at the Photographer? 3:20
probably a blank but you never know the way the camera jerks worries me seems like he didn't expect it.
i don't think hunter was the kind of guy to buy blanks.
he shot into the air. Gun was perpendicular to the car so the casing ejected out towards the photographer.
The camera stood on a tripod and he just shot above it
Councilman Les Wynan I doubt its a double action revolver. Meaning there’s no way for him to fire a second shot without cocking the hammer back and therefore no immediate threat to the camera guy
he was a good driver!
This is the caricature of Hunter S Thompson that Hunter despised. He's far more complex, insightful and well-spoken than this represents.
i have never understood how anyone- except through gruelling practise - can ever be a functioning addict. i certainly never was, it's disturbing and remarkable to witness. quite the individual
0:57
DUUUUCK!!
He is driving all over the road
Molson Golden!
God, he looks like the biggest pain in the ass -
OG Hunter S. Thompson
Dr. Thompson was the last real man alive. He is the only celebrity I feel is like myself lmao. Guns, booze and bitches 😂😂😂
I wonder if he ever found the edge
I hope he went to the other side of the edge......Rip Hunter
res ipsa loquitur
I think it is poignant how he refers to either being an observer or a participant. The catch here is -- what made you watch while others were involved? A principle or fear? Or both? Where should the hatred fall? Of course righteously on the one making things worse for others.
3:56 Nice muzzle discipline.
Hopefully just one bullet in that gun
Hold on, that's not Johnny Depp
💕🤘🙏
Another guy - probably had ADHD and was also an alcoholic...still fascinating guy.
Gonzo...the writer becomes part of the story. The book Fear and loathing was written first, Johnny Depp played Thompson.
Darrin Tippens where the Buffalo Roam was way b4 that. Get it together w your Hunter info...
A great word and cock Smith my fuckin hero.. drive fast and take chances..
Very cool...trying to be hip with Hunter when you are not just doesn't work, though.
Cadillac is a "convertible" not a "coupe" - blows the title!
agreed
Yikes 😱
Add me you long haired hippy people
So would I.
When homeless ppl have money
Thompson was never homeless you idiot
Splooge
@@madpatriot7464
Delusional as well. Feels sad bro.
Triggering trigglypuffs in 2018
What was he doing to that truck , he destroyed the radiator hose for fun ? Is that what cocaine does to you ? Also I hate seeing him spilling his drink lol. 🙂
Why does he keep calling that convertible a coupe? ....kinda makes me feel insane with anger. Whatever
I don’t want to be responsible for u going insane with or without anger. You’re reading too much into the title of what was a different kind of series on a news program.

So they got him the car to get an interview and then they wanna disrespect him throughout the narrative, crazy
Meth and alcohol go together good.
I don't think he killed himself. I don't buy it.
Well then wait another 10 years and a whole generation of idiots will be around to make up baseless conspiracies that wont be provable but will insist on them being true
Sub Samadhi go talk to someone that cares about anything you have to say. Just keep being a good little sheep and piss off.
Neuronaut Alpha-1 you say sheep, I say sane. You say boring, I say real.

I'm pretty sure he said he would when he got too old to live his lifestyle.
Dude has the worst gun control I have ever seen. He imminently fires that hand cannon then points it backwards at the crew as he jumps lol
400th like. Wooooohaaa.!!
So where is your gonzo hero now, just when it seams we may need a man of his stature most he seams to be MIA, why is that, did the drink finally catch up to him?
Haligonia u dork!!!
HAhahahaha lovely
No seatbelt
Seatbelt laws are a new thing. Except for children I think. Nowadays everybody is a bunch of pussys. So you can get a fine for not wearing it
A good driver as he vears into ths opposite lane wtf is wrong with you people
he was being sarcastic
You’re dense. I bet you’re life is exhilarating
A half gallon of scotch i would have stooped interview immediately and told my viewers we refuse to air the misguided paranoid itterings of a hopeless intoxicated alcoholic
Robert Therob cool
Whatever floats your boat
so did this guy star in that movie as himself then, or did he right the script the movie was based in. Either way who is he and why is his way of writing named after a Muppet? Seams lame...
Haligonia .... u truely need to get your info right.... its way off....
Boyd Matson,....half a man, and not the good half either.
