@martianrobber Exactly. Mark had a history of this. In the video for "It's my Life" you will see Mark's mouth covered by EMI with that animation. They did this because Mark didn't want to be forced into doing this video and his protest was to lip sync a different song. EMI covered it up with the animation and later sued Mark after the Talk Talk Eden album as payback. Hollis and Talk Talk are the singularly most under rated band I can think of. They were consumate artists.
Fantastic voice, so unique. I love this man to bits. Talk Talk so Unique. Genious's all of them . Rest in Peace Mark. U r greatly missed. Thankyou for the music 🎶 🎵 ❤ 💕 💋💋💋💋💋🤟🖤😪
Level 42 shouldn't even share the same stage as Talk Talk and Mark Hollis. Love Talk Talk and Mark Hollis. I've never seen this video before. Thanks for positing it.
Todos quedaron en estar al descubierto para sus fans, en especial Lee (solo un chiste) amo ver asi a Mark!!!! demasiado atractivo!!! brilla su presencia para mi...
i love this clip, i am sure Mark is singing live but the band are miming, i reckon he does that talk bit halfway through just to prove he is live, he sings so good live, better than the recording.
Mark Hollis tu étais quelqu un de grand j adoré tes musiques qui mon suivi toutes ces années tu étais mon idole. J ai beaucoup de peine 😢au-revoir mark hollis
If you just saw the interview without knowing it's Mark, you would say he's kinda suicidal. But behind that personality he becomes a whole different person on stage, a genius in fact! Sad but beautiful...
Don't think people got his sense of humour...sadly mistaken for being bored or not wanting to be there...mark a d the band loved to play up and cause confusion x
.. you do not have to be tall to be tall :-) I love Mark as he is .. with his wonderful voice and luckily the wonderful mark is bigger than me :-) I like to look up to my darling
@regaltip8A FYI, Mark wanted EMI to drop him and the band. He sabotaged their videos, made an album they sued him over on the grounds it wasn't a commercially viable album (its one of their bests) and he berated EMI in the press. By the way, Mozart didn't make much money and wasn't popular when he was alive. He died a debtor and was buried in a paupers hole and no one came to the funeral. The point is that just because some artists don't have your values, doesn't make their art less value.
Good for you Mark ! They laugh at you because you are different, ,,so you laugh at them, because they are all the same. I would have said the same thing if I were him! Rude questions deserve rude answers.
Es muy lindo Mark atractivo hermoso Komo sería su vida después ke kiso alejase de la industria musical es muy extraño su alejamiento y su muerte kiero saber más el es un ídolo y se extraña demasiado pero hay mucas interrogantes sobre su muerte kiero saber más komo todos sus fanáticos komo murió tan fantástico artista
this joke might be 20 years old but it still makes me piss watching them dance with those guitars taking the piss out level 42.....fucking funny. mark hollis and his boys rocked...true rock stars.
And before everyone gives me a thumbs down, I love Talk Talk... seems like everyone has to be positive all the time. Also, I'm pleased to be able to see this clip, so thanks to the person who uploaded it!
@regaltip8A , the fans don't give a shite about royalties, and I don't think Mark Hollis would either, given (as wiki says) he refused to sacrifice artistic ambition to commercial success. The one exception would be when Gwen Stefani butchered one of their songs. A sad moment, but Mark would have got a lot of royalties from it.
adam curry would ask the same question regardless of whether it was talk talk or a potato he was interviewing. what answer does one expect to get to a question like "how does it feel to play on the same night as x, y and z"? very automated. an insult to intelligence.
@himawari2904 Mark Hollis was/is an outstanding artist. Not some sort of boy band cute/sweet lead singer. Can't believe you were up-voted for this insane comment out of place with these guys.
I couldn't choose just one of their last two albums. Maybe "I belive in you" and "Wealth" are my favourites, and "Tomorrow started" from their early times.
@regaltip8A I did a search here on RUclips for Level 42 and I guess I shouldn't have made the remark about them as I did, I only remembered their one hit in the 80's and haven't followed their career. You're right, they are good musicians. They aren't my taste and I don't agree with the rest of your comments about Talk Talk, but Level 42 is definitely more than their one hit so I agree with you there. I don't think artist royalties has anything to do with quality of their music.
@bittersound Actually it is correct. From The Guardian: "It's My Life, recorded in 1984 (complete with video originally mocking lip-synching by a dour Hollis, which when reshot at EMI's request became a total piss-take of lip-synching) established Talk Talk as a massive band in Europe."
I think he just wants to talk about music instead of answering questions about commerce and being popular and all that. Maybe that's why he's bored interviews.
palebeachbum Mark was always more about the music than popularity .A true musician .Some footage shows him mocking ''live'' appearances while having to playback .
I think he's pissed off, because he's totally singing the wrong words to the song, though in a very artful way. Probably he was forced by contract to lip sync and decided to take advantage of the moment.
My point was that a lot of these artists think it will never end so it gives them the right to give this type of attitude. The presenter was just trying to do his job. Good band but in the end they got what they had coming. Dropped by EMI and goodnight. As for royalties and the don't give a shit attitude that is the view taken by people that have made no money from music and live week to week. The same people that said Phil Collins sold out, I am sure his 50 mil in the bank eases the pain.
@christschool Go easy with comparisons with Level 42. Those guys are top notch musicians. Talk Talk had their own style but as a live act cannot compare with the skill and musicianship of Level 42. Sadly,Mark Hollis does come across as a nob in this clip. Perhaps he is not so smug in 2011 when his income from royalties is down to zero.
Like Gerry Rafferty before him, Hollis refused to jump through hoops to 'shift product' for EMI. He had no desire to accumulate material wealth. However, at the time of his death he was living in a beautiful £3m home in Wimbledon Village. His royalty statements looked very healthy too following a number of top selling albums in the 80's.
Mark Hollis is a great singer, this song is great, your voice is beautiful
@martianrobber Exactly. Mark had a history of this. In the video for "It's my Life" you will see Mark's mouth covered by EMI with that animation.

Talk Talk was for better than ALL those other UK bands in every way possible! I say this unapologetically!
Fantastic voice, so unique. I love this man to bits. Talk Talk so Unique. Genious's all of them .
Rest in Peace Mark. U r greatly missed. Thankyou for the music 🎶 🎵 ❤ 💕 💋💋💋💋💋🤟🖤😪
One of the best groups of the 80's. I only wish that they'd released more albums.
Level 42 shouldn't even share the same stage as Talk Talk and Mark Hollis. Love Talk Talk and Mark Hollis. I've never seen this video before. Thanks for positing it.
Bands like Talk Talk make me glad I was a teen during the mid 80's. Sure wish I still had my "It's My Life" cassette I had back in 1984. : )
Todos quedaron en estar al descubierto para sus fans, en especial Lee (solo un chiste) amo ver asi a Mark!!!! demasiado atractivo!!! brilla su presencia para mi...
Mark exaggerates again and makes fun of the interview, yet sooooo cute!
i love this clip, i am sure Mark is singing live but the band are miming, i reckon he does that talk bit halfway through just to prove he is live, he sings so good live, better than the recording.
Mark Hollis tu étais quelqu un de grand j adoré tes musiques qui mon suivi toutes ces années tu étais mon idole. J ai beaucoup de peine 😢au-revoir mark hollis
i think mark hollis is the most creative artist ever you rule!!!
No mark rip we still love what you did not everyone in England hated you ,you where my god as a teenager such talent now its gone
If you just saw the interview without knowing it's Mark, you would say he's kinda suicidal. But behind that personality he becomes a whole different person on stage, a genius in fact! Sad but beautiful...
man he's too sweet here
Don't think people got his sense of humour...sadly mistaken for being bored or not wanting to be there...mark a d the band loved to play up and cause confusion x
The UK very best band!

Mark is just ubercool! Love him
Es muy lindo Mark atractivo hermoso

GENIUS
this joke might be 20 years old but it still makes me piss watching them dance with those guitars taking the piss out level 42.....fucking funny. mark hollis and his boys rocked...true rock stars.
"Do you want to say anything?" "Al Ada" "Adam that's all right Mark!"
And before everyone gives me a thumbs down, I love Talk Talk... seems like everyone has to be positive all the time.
Also, I'm pleased to be able to see this clip, so thanks to the person who uploaded it!
I don't think Paul Webb could get that bass any higher up his neck, it's under his chin. Mark Hollis has such a definitive voice, just beautiful.
Mark Hollies and Paul Webb this two voice's together are perfect, like Dave Gahan and Martin Gore from DM
Gotta love Mark...😍
Lee Harris was a beautiful sight to behold on drums ❤
@regaltip8A , the fans don't give a shite about royalties, and I don't think Mark Hollis would either, given (as wiki says) he refused to sacrifice artistic ambition to commercial success.

Interviewer was Adam Curry !!!
what was this style of getting strangled by guitar in the 80;s
RIP Mark Hollis
Brilliant! ❤
ah brilliant!!
adam curry would ask the same question regardless of whether it was talk talk or a potato he was interviewing. what answer does one expect to get to a question like "how does it feel to play on the same night as x, y and z"? very automated. an insult to intelligence.
Ke lindooooooo mi Mark y misterioso hooooo te amo por siempre
R.I.P. Mark :(
Wow. They must really like their instruments...
Che voce Mark
Whats up with the drummer, everytime i see him hes got his shirt off.
A lot of drummers do that. It is hot, for one thing, and they need freedom of movement. In generally post '84 Talk Talk is in a state of half-dress.
And I want to thank him for that. 😊
Curry looks so YOUNG!!! Metal Headbangers...
@himawari2904 Mark Hollis was/is an outstanding artist. Not some sort of boy band cute/sweet lead singer. Can't believe you were up-voted for this insane comment out of place with these guys.
R.I.P Mark Hollis it was a pleasure man much love
I couldn't choose just one of their last two albums. Maybe "I belive in you" and "Wealth" are my favourites, and "Tomorrow started" from their early times.
the lead vocal is live as well probably with a backing track underneath
the vocals are performed live methinx, the backing ain't.
@regaltip8A I did a search here on RUclips for Level 42 and I guess I shouldn't have made the remark about them as I did, I only remembered their one hit in the 80's and haven't followed their career.

Sempre foi bom escutar hoje muito mais!
They look very small in this video. Funniest part at 2.48 .
@bittersound Actually it is correct. From The Guardian: "It's My Life, recorded in 1984 (complete with video originally mocking lip-synching by a dour Hollis, which when reshot at EMI's request became a total piss-take of lip-synching) established Talk Talk as a massive band in Europe."
It seems they sing live on instruments playback.
The best from the "It's My Life" album. Listen again, naive fool.
what does dum,dum girl mean?
I only regret not able to see them in concert,well at least their music still here standing the test of time!
The song is about a prostitute..dum dum girl
Live? Only the vocals are live.
what does dum,dum girl mean?
He just seems bored with the whole thing and like he's annoyed to have to answer questions.
I think he just wants to talk about music instead of answering questions about commerce and being popular and all that. Maybe that's why he's bored interviews.
palebeachbum Mark was always more about the music than popularity .A true musician .Some footage shows him mocking ''live'' appearances while having to playback .
It's deadpan humour, he trolled all his earlier interviews like this
Talk talk live, zegt ie ook nog, hahahaha Dat was net zo min live.
LoL... That's so true, but the one thing I always respected about Adam Curry is that he never pretended to give a shit.
Demais ❤
Yeah, I agree, it's not a good one.
That was about being able to reach every fret on the instrument as opposed to wearing it as a fashion accessory.
Where is Mark Hollis now ?.....
Chino, I bet you regret that question now.
Define LIVE for me...
@martianrobber That's a correct assumption.
Te amoooooook
5'8"
3'8"
great band my all time fave and my 16 year old sons too,mark looked like he was been sarky hahahaha nice one my son
Great songs great band. But please... Put the guitar and the base a little lower; we don't wanna see your balls. :))
just kidding, guys. Awesome work.
Speak for yourself.
That was a big thing in the '80s, holding the instruments up near chest level. You see it a lot.
I think he's pissed off, because he's totally singing the wrong words to the song, though in a very artful way. Probably he was forced by contract to lip sync and decided to take advantage of the moment.
SHOW
Cool as fuck, and enjoying taking the piss
My point was that a lot of these artists think it will never end so it gives them the right to give this type of attitude. The presenter was just trying to do his job.

The same people that said Phil Collins sold out, I am sure his 50 mil in the bank eases the pain.
After three or four listenings, I keep thinking it's one of their worst songs, sorry. It's really fucking cheesy!
Just awful.

Can't believe some clown actually said Level 42 had superior musicianship to Talk Talk. Smoking too much obviously rot his brain
@@711honved You're wrong about his home, at the time of this death, he wasn't here in Wimbledon.... sold before...
@@peacefrog929 AHAHAH !!!! you're right, I think Talk Talk superior or egal to Level 42, and on live there were incredible. RIP Mark
@@francinecocq7359 That's interesting! Property sales history shows last sold in 1995. I believe that is the year Mark moved back from Suffolk.
This song is horrible!, the worst of Talk Talk, I can't understand how it was relased as a single.
