I used to watch Star Test religiously and I saw this episode before I even knew who Julian Cope was. Ended up getting into his music as an adult, saw him live in 2001. I dig him.
Oh Julian you have been in my life for such a long time. Your music, has lived in my head and heart and I have lived it all even the stuff I've found more difficult. Why isn't this man known more widely. What a funny, beautiful, clever, ridiculous wonderful man
Loop tape, yeah. That would be bad. I'd consider it hellish after an indefinite amount of loops, too. Everyone hates on U2 - it's like it's stylish to do, but maybe they actually mean it. I hope so. I like to think a lot of other people have the same sense as me when it comes to matters regarding anything to do with U-stinkin'-2.
If I remember right the death dream instance involving Macca led into The night it was aired the following day Pete De Freitas died. If wrong apologies. I distinctly remember it coz it freaked me out. Love the Antiquarian Monster
Good god, I need subtitles cause I really want to hear what he had to say about Mac! I can't properly detect all words, so can somebody transcribe/sum it up for me? This show is fantastic, and so is Jules...
"Have you ever been to a fortune teller?" "No... well thats not really the case," Basically he's saying he was at a party years prior with Ian, and someone suggested they have their fortunes done by a fortune teller. They said Mac would would be sucsessful and be loved by everyone but he would die by 30. A drummer by the name of Dave Pickett would try but would not be successful. Julian would be succsessful in his 30s but would be disliked by everyone at 35. They were 18 at the time of the party, at the time of the filming of this show Mac had recently turned 30. So the fortune was not completely accurate. Julian had felt guilty for all that time, over a decade, concerned a bit that Ian would do well and be loved but die by 30, because of the fortune I guess? Maybe it was Julians idea? So he Was rather relived Ian wouldn't die so young and he wasn't going to turn into a complete jerk.
21.12. No shit. Props for honesty. But he lied on the "How good were Teardrops" question. He never thought they were mostly crap at all. Just . . .a bit crap. Sometimes.
Very interesting, but he was obviously too wired to give his absolute truths; he was being very naughty about The Teardrop Explodes for instance. He has belittled his music output in comparison to his written word since, but he must know he is among the great melody-makers of the eighties. His best-known songs are crap in comparison to his actual best songs. He's done at least twenty songs that are better than "Reward" as an example. Just my opinion, obviously.
@@lamper2 That's fair enough! It's just in my opinion; while it is a good song he has produced far more wonderful ones on albums most people are far less aware of. I know that sounds like I'm being all elitist but it really is not coming from there.

I had this on Betamax when it was first aired! Massive Julian Cope fan, thank you so much for uploading this
Betamax. Must have been fun trying to rent a video out.
@@nasskhan4543 Only used it for recording The Tube and A comic Strip Presents....!
"What is your vision of Hell?" . . . . .
.

.
. "A mix tape of U2" . . . I fuckin' love you Julian.
I think he actually says 'loop' tape not mix, which is considerably more hellish. Hahaha

Like there's still some hope for humanity...
He seems pretty candid, I love that!
Q : What is your vision of hell ?
A : A loop tape of U2.
Julian is a rock god.
Bono is a corporate pox.
"Were you breast fed?" . . . . . . "Yes, for far too long". lelel.

the most early 90s thing ever
You mean 80's, he is 31 here.
As this was filmed way before his birthday on the 21st of October.
Jesus…I had forgotten about Star Test!!
he seems so proud of the fact that he last cut his toenails 2 weeks ago
He's really like Jez off peep show, never noticed it before
It's DON ROSS SKINNER who is the REAL ROCK GOD!

@@JW-yp9yj The fortune teller got the wrong Bunnyman. Pete de Frietas didn't make it to 30.

Did he pass?
Lysergic ...
bae
I don’t believe in god and all it entails but......if I did it would be Julian Cope.
This is what too much acid does to you kids...
Makes you candid, honest and insightful then? 😂
@tubedefecatedunderdevelopment
No.

What music of his beyond that with The Teardrop Explodes has he belittled? Has he belittled a lot of his solo work?
@@DarlingPhenylethylamine I think he hates that charlotte anne era. I heard him disparage that era somewhere.
@@jordansafari1437 Charlotte Anne era?
i LOVE reward

Sometimes you do feel like you only like one side of a Miles Davis album, and even that sounds like garbage.
