I never realised what a lovely bloke Ian Dury is. Just the fact that he thinks he's been lucky in his life says so much about his character and decency.
The way Ian Dury described himself with regards to physical disability was inspirational to me. It's 2022 now and he has always been a Legend in my eyes.
@@mallinalii I only ever got to see him live once (with The Blockheads), at Madstock in Finsbury Park back in 1992. They were old hat even then but absolutely excellent to watch. I would love to have met him but would have had absolutely no idea what to say to him other than thank him for his incredible contribution to British music.
Had the good fortune to meet Ian after his show at Wellington , New Zealand in the Mid? eighties , we were at the hotel/motel House Bar where Ian and the Blockheads were staying. Great guy but he had tobacco mixed with his bag of pot , i told him to be my guest and try our Maori Wowie , he thought I said the Hawaiian pot , Maui wowie , until i told him that no , it was grown here in Kiwiville , by a Maori named Howie. Was a great guy and wrote me a sonnet , and signed my mates leather jacket... " Leather of the Weather ", a great night indeed was had by all. RIP the pair of you guys.
@@AllyRobson He was but he became more humble and pathetic near his final days. He had a really tough childhood and had to literally fight to survive in his day. He was like a tough kid who never quite fully grew up.
Bob, born in Suffolk and Ian born in Harrow neither are true cockneys. They both have good old skool London accents. Better than mandemz mumbling jafaican mockney these days.
Ian's songs were, and still are, fantastic! They have a great sound which still sounds great today and they have these fantastic lyrics which paint you an image and tell brilliant stories with those words with which he has a magic way in making you feel something. Just one of those artists that, you know as soon as you pop his stuff on, you're in for a real treat! Miss him and his unique and brilliant sound. Fantastic artist.
i saw this amazing man and singer in Australia .I was amazed how he stood up on stage for 2hrs and i got to speak to him as fold back mixer the most memorable person i have ever met
ian durys quote on steve rights radio show,steve asked how would you best describe yourself,ian calmy replied i"m the east ends best known raspberry ripple... salt of the earth that man....bob was brilliant too,r.i.p gentlemen..
Two wonderful, cheeky. well talented, rogues in their own right... lets hope theyre rippin it up wherever they may be ...RIP Bob Hoskins ... sad sad day for the world
god bless Ian dury. I grew up listening to him and the blockheads but wot an interesting guy. he would be the first on my list of People to my dinner party
Ian was such a very down to earth guy, as was Bob. I have always found it interesting that Ians name Ian Dury actually sounds like word play on the word injury I wonder if the poet in him ever noticed that.
condensing presenters, what do they ever know of a brilliance of life that can never be fathomed - Ian had depths that no stiff human could ever reach, not because he was particularly complex, yet because he was right and raw on cue. A beautiful and amazing man, even his children equally as phenomenal - would have given my limbs to have met him, spoken to him and shared a united tipple.
Oh please... you must realise that fanboy complaint about "the presenters" is THE most cliched comment on RUclips. Of course Dury was a beautiful genius but why the hell should an inoffensive blow-dried-prime-time-skirt-for-the-masses interviewer have to be the same? There was absolutely no "condescension" whatsoever. Sure most of her questions were pretty banal but I for one certainly enjoyed Dury's responses.
I don't think Ian Dury or Bob Hoskins thought of her as condescending. I think it's more you thinking too much into what they're thinking. Gabby Roslin is respected in the UK.
Bob Hoskins is great, but it's Ian Dury it's all about - Low talking - but he gets in his talking and you just listen - and there it is - always in his music!!!
I love ❤️ Ian Dury’s music and the Blockheads. I went to see the Blockheads about 6 years ago at the Robin2 in Bilston. They are still good, and did some classics, but no one can imitate Dury’s style and delivery and fortunately they didn’t try. Good man yourself Ian. RIP ❤
Would love to see this entire episode. Gabby had a wonderful style as the interviewer and it would have also been interesting to hear what Bob had to say.
I enjoyed this very much ~ thank you. I have found both men noteworthy for many years. This is a special video and also love the reference to Frank Zappa.
i used to watch this clip and 'mourn the decline with some thunderbird wine' of ian. now I have to watch it and cry over bob. rest in peace. I hope you're both annoying germans in heaven...
I grew with ian dury songs hearing them from my parents, and at 13 I was him at the great mud fest at Glastonbury in 1985. Since then I often listened to music but it was only since the internet and documentaries that leant about his polo and disability. I dont think that question half was through is valid.
I never realised what a lovely bloke Ian Dury is. Just the fact that he thinks he's been lucky in his life says so much about his character and decency.
Truly a lovely bloke 🙏
The way Ian Dury described himself with regards to physical disability was inspirational to me. It's 2022 now and he has always been a Legend in my eyes.
Very talented man backed up by a fantastic band.
Sadly missed.
RIP Ian
Ian, labelled by society as disabled. Labelled by the musical community as a GIANT! X
Add that to his epitaph
yes and by every fan also. because he did it.
Lovely comment!
His music certainly is retarded
@@zeppelinfan82 I can't believe that comment - reported now. 🙏
I met lan Dury he came to my disabled school several times in South London back in the 1970s what a great man he was one of the best nice one.
🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

@@trevorbrown6654 yeah understand. but so cool you saw him live!!!
TWO legends in the same clip. Bless you Bob and Ian! RIP! Wish they were still both around "taking liberties".
And now Bob has passed 'n all. True British Legends, the pair of 'em. Rest in peace, gentlemen!
True gentlemen. South London.
@@kissbunkies Ian was from Upminster and he did not grow up working class. i love the bloke but he played up the cockney n'ere do well thing.
Hundred percent
yes i loved him too. :(
Intelligence ouses out of Ian Dury. Could listen to him forever, glad these clips exist.
Ian was a total legend,just musical perfection may he Rest In Peace and also Bob.
Had the good fortune to meet Ian after his show at Wellington , New Zealand in the Mid? eighties , we were at the hotel/motel House Bar where Ian and the Blockheads were staying.

what a boring story
@@AllyRobson you spent the time to read it ya boring bastard
🤯🤯🤯❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Two of England's finest, God rest their souls
Ian Dury, master wordsmith.
Went to see ian play at Hammersmith many years ago ... Fantastic never forget that night ...sadly sadly missed , great musician .. God bless you Ian 🙏
Some of the best gigs I’ve ever been to.
A beautiful man ,
A diamond geezer!
Thankyou Ian .
What a terrific interview with two terrific blokes! 👏👏👏
Ian is a sweet guy with a ogod sense of humor and very talented Such a legend R.I.P.
Moby Dick he was famously a very nasty man most of the time
why are you "LIKING" that ?
i'm contradicted you....
He was a great talent, I was a fan, But
i believe hat he was a cunt.
@@AllyRobson He was but he became more humble and pathetic near his final days. He had a really tough childhood and had to literally fight to survive in his day. He was like a tough kid who never quite fully grew up.
Lucky enough to get pissed with him…remembered me at breakfast we had bacon buttys
Rest in peace, Bob and Ian- (both legends in their own right and both top Cockney geezers!)
he died?
@@KVeneris both gone now??
Bob, born in Suffolk and Ian born in Harrow neither are true cockneys. They both have good old skool London accents. Better than mandemz mumbling jafaican mockney these days.
Ped Clarke yeah but Hoskins grew up in Hornsey and dury in cranham not in those areas so that’s probably why they got those accents
Ian Dury is in my system, forever. WHAT. AN. ARTISTE.
Ian is one of the 70/80’s music influencers of mine. Love his music.
Same here! When playing his music on boozy parties and cars a lot of my friends got their ears opened for something else than the regular:-)
Ian's songs were, and still are, fantastic! They have a great sound which still sounds great today and they have these fantastic lyrics which paint you an image and tell brilliant stories with those words with which he has a magic way in making you feel something. Just one of those artists that, you know as soon as you pop his stuff on, you're in for a real treat! Miss him and his unique and brilliant sound. Fantastic artist.
💖
Two utterly facking "diamond geeeezers" long missed... and thats from a scouser !!! God bless em BOTH. Great post, thanks for it.
Just two regular blokes with extraordinary talents. Magic. 😊
Two great legends of the British isles stirring up trouble upstairs no doubt. RIP lads
@ Front Roll - I'm sure they are mate, I'm sure they are.
i saw this amazing man and singer in Australia .I was amazed how he stood up on stage for 2hrs and i got to speak to him as fold back mixer the most memorable person i have ever met
This man fascinates me, massive charisma!!!!
Two legends and masters of their crafts.
Two cockney gents we very sorely miss, still flying the flag for us geezers RIP guys x

Michael cane is cockney
Not Cockneys, though....
Bourn in the sounds of Bow Bells makes u a cockney
The lovely Gabby Roslin. England's rose.

A wonderful interview with 2 lovely and sadly missed blokes... Joyful stuff !!!
The greatest interview ever of two of greatest honest people ever lived rip the two of you legends
Oh God how I love Ian Dury. The kindest, funnies, most talented man ever. Saw him live in -83. Best gig ever.

I introduced HMWYRS at the disco I used to spin at here in Nova Scotia in the late 70'sand early 80's. People loved it!
rip ian,you will live forever in our memory's mate.
Genuine legend - still sorely missed.
Thanks so much for posting.
Ian Dury and the Blockheads seen them at Madstock absolutely brilliant
Two wonderful geezers, RIP both
Ian was such a very down to earth guy, as was Bob. I have always found it interesting that Ians name Ian Dury actually sounds like word play on the word injury I wonder if the poet in him ever noticed that.
May he rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us
I loved him and always will .I still sing with him a lot .
That was an awesome interview
Two proper National Treasures we can never replace
" 'ave a pipe at the ice cream on your daily." I nearly fell down the apples having a bubble!
That was a great interview, just so easy on there ears by two great people and Gaby being a good host.
" its Love that creates the the worry....people Love people! "....what a line!
I miss those two so much!
2 GREAT LADS AND a sweet bird.

Ian was such a special and classy guy... a true artist.
This is delightful!! Thanks for posting
The Raggedy Rawney's a lovely film. Worth seeking out comrades
Top guy, sorely missed.
Thanks for posting.

@@Maryonpark She seems to be one of the few that haven't been tarred with the rest of the BBC nonce factory..........
Ian just thinks the right way and the way we should ALL think. Legend.
Two absolute legends
This is one best interview all time
Both brilliant men.Lovely interview..
Mans a god . People should listen to this geezer Dury . Diamond Human...xx
Bob Hoskins is great, but it's Ian Dury it's all about - Low talking - but he gets in his talking and you just listen - and there it is - always in his music!!!

Absolute class both these gentlemen.
Two icons. Great interview.
Both gone now. We need these characters.
Legends, both of these two.
End of an era, possibly? Things seemed to be more simple & direct then, somehow.. Simple, direct & better.
When a chat show revealed a bit about the guest and wasn’t a plug show for the latest record or fillum.
Great to see these two.
RIP Bob, Ian and the Strangler.
brilliant interview respectful,intelligent, what an amazing articulate guy his charity work was amazing RIP
You just made a grown man cry, Eva.
He's always been one of my heros
Someone said it ....... true British legends
Would love to see this entire episode. Gabby had a wonderful style as the interviewer and it would have also been interesting to hear what Bob had to say.
2 legends .... sorely missed ....
Miss both of them.
Ian Dury was one of my all time hero’s.
I enjoyed this very much ~ thank you.
I have found both men noteworthy for many years. This is a special video and also love the reference to Frank Zappa.
"I'm a middle class prat from art school." :)
Both of Them Were Absolute Fucking Legends as far as i'm concerned. RIP Bob Hoskins and RIP Ian Dury too
The thing is ,we all miss him .
my hero !!!!! rip Ian .
i used to watch this clip and 'mourn the decline with some thunderbird wine' of ian. now I have to watch it and cry over bob. rest in peace. I hope you're both annoying germans in heaven...
I absolutely loved Ian Dury and the blockheads used to play their songs all the time drove mum and dad crazy shouting to me to stop playing that shit😂
I grew with ian dury songs hearing them from my parents, and at 13 I was him at the great mud fest at Glastonbury in 1985. Since then I often listened to music but it was only since the internet and documentaries that leant about his polo and disability. I dont think that question half was through is valid.
2 brilliant guys.. RIP ❤️
Yes definately, Rock and Roll hall of fame!
2 legends
Ian Dury and the blockheads was the first concert i went to in Wellington town hall,New Zealand. 1982?
Two charismatic and honest men. RIP
What down to earth stars and great entertainers to
What a good interviewer Gaby is. Should have got more chances to do this.
The Diamond Geezer.....RIP Ian
A great man, excellent singer!!
