Thank you for being so generous in sharing this moment with us. I felt like I was there. Very much appreciated. Please continue to delight.
So good to see Michael! Thank you Steve for doing this!
My favourite author and my favourite RUclips channel. Great stuff Steve
Many thanks, Doug!
That’s Michael Morcock! Never seen him interviewed, what a beautiful person…
6 weeks to write a whole book with a migraine? Legend!
A friend sued the BBC, remarkably won and travelled to Cuba for 6 months! Love it!
What is the capsule he is putting in his coffee?
What a wonderful interview, a great experience to watch, the hour went too quick… a legend and an interviewer clearly respectful to the point they couldn’t get enough from them..
Reason for not doing autobiography? Beautiful!
The marriage memory comment? Gold!
One of the few folks you say the world is better with them in it…
I think it was just sugar- but I guess it could have been one of old man Cornelius' hallucinogenic experiments....
Great chat and informative watching two old friends catch up.
Pure bliss, thank you Steve and Michael. I'll be back here many times.
Pleasure.
Very conversational. Some good laughs, too. Enjoyed it!
Despite watching this past Saturday midnight, I was sufficiently swept up in the ambiance that when Michael ordered a second cup I dashed off to the kitchen to whip up a cappuccino to feel more immersed in the scene.
Books have souls. Nothing invented really disappears. Moorcock so casual and relaxed - une autre cafe, s’il vous plait - really lovely discussion. Enjoyed the cafe ambience. Cheers Steve.
It was a nice intimate interview with Moorcock like two good friends...thank you.
Absolutely incredible! I need to read more Moorcock! This is a wonderful video, thank you so much!
My pleasure. I always enjoy re-reading Mike's work and he never stops producing more- total legend!
An eternal treasure at the edge of time. Favorite author and favorite person on RUclips chatting for an hour? I'll be rewatching this one for years to come. Outstanding interview 👏
Mike and I will be zooming at some point over the next few months, so stay tuned as they used to say!
This was quite nice. Thanks for sharing it,
what a lovely chap. so clever without thinking about it. brillant thanks.
Michael in good form quite remarkable for a man in his 80s, love his work . really enjoyed this Steve many thanks 🫡
Enjoyed this very much. I'm closer to Michael's age than yours but really have read very little of him . Thank you for turning me on to MM. I've got a lot of enjoyable reading ahead I can see👏
That was really enjoyable Steve. Mr Moorcock is a lovely gentleman and I’m more keen than ever to read some of his work.
He always oozes bonhomie, I've found. I'm a huge apologist for the Jerry Cornelius and Von Bek series among his many great works.
What a coup! Such a splendid interview, so relaxed and friendly, like 2 chums chatting. Highly entertaining, respect and congratulations to Stephen.
By coincidence I heard from Mike today, we were discussing Marc Bolan!
Thanks for that, mate, very kind. Thing is, Mr M knew (or knows) pretty much everybody!!! Great to hear from you as always.
Good to see Mike giving you a nudge on Blood, it's been one of my favourites since I first read Colour in New Worlds, as you may already have guessed. Nice to see you having a good chat.
I need to revisit it- it came out in a period when I had lost my faith in SFF- but I loved '"Fabulous Harbours" funnily enough.
Great Interview. My favourite part was hearing about the link between SF and rock music. Wonderful!
I will be doing a LOT more on that subject, and have already covered some of it in my Hawkwind and Stranglers videos.
Good one, Steve.
Such an enjoyable interview. It's almost like being there with you both (the café ambience really adds to the magic). Michael comes across as a truly fascinating, and rather humble, character. Unbelievably, I've not read any of his work. I'm going to have to put that right. Very well done, Steve.
Cheers Clive. Mike is one of the all time good guys in my book.
Delightful
Brilliant interview Steve! A real SF legend!
Cheers mate!
Great interview,nice seeing Mike and you in good health.
I thought I looked bloody dreadful- black around the eyes, hungover, legs aching, it had been a very intense morning....people always say I look well when I feel shit! LOL
Great stuff! John Cale wrote the odd song Graham Greene that mentions Chipping and Sodbury but I'm sure you know this.
Yes, am a huge Cale fan, seen him in concert many times- that song is from a superb album, a real fave of mine!
notice the action and mighty baby. unreal.
Great interview 👍🏻. Thanks Steve...it's great to see Mike is still very busy and new books are on the horizon. Awesome stuff.
Yes, I was delighted to hear about so many forthcoming projects!
Great interview with a legend of Fantasy! Regarding John Brosnan, yes, he was provocative and opinionated, especially about Start Trek in his column for Star Burst magazine. It annoyed me at the time, but now years later I can appreciate what he was trying to do, especially with Trek. He explained his attitude to it as simply that he just didn't think it was the best thing that happened to Science Fiction since Mrs Wells had little Herbert George.
I feel the same way reading it decades later, agreed.
what a treat to watch old friends catching up! thanks for sharing, steve
Magnifique!! Thank you so much for this, Steve. This is a momentous highlight in your career!
We did some great bookshop events back in the day, it was lovely to see him again, he's always so amenable.
A good conversation, Steve. MM seems to have become much more the English gentleman than I recall, but age often mellows, and it suits him.
If you do it again, which I hope you do, try to steer him onto the subject of Barry Bayley, Keith Roberts and Tom Disch, not New Worlds per se, but some of the authors of that time.
Yes, we will probably do a zoom at some point, we have discussed it briefly and then I do want to grill him on these writers particularly. Thanks Jim!
I'd like to see reprint or new anthologies..... Best of New Worlds.
Agreed. A new 'best of' would be great. I'll suggest it to Mike.
going to get a stella. leave comment later. my god. and you.
Beer o'clock here too.
Great . I had my tablet also to follow many of the referances Robert/ Hawkwind. Mr Zenith and Sexton Blake. Alas i doubt i will ever get my paws on the books . RUclips . Malzberg " saddest man in SF " 😂. Pessimistic ( my bias opinion). Read Constance & Moorcock "Silverheart" . MM is one of the few authors work i grab any time i see his name . Alas i dont see much, despite the large amount outthere . Is there any collector out there who have not " cried out " for more space ? The MN website worth a gander/ surf .Ok enough of my yakking . I am off to your other " missed" videos . I loved the interview . Thank you both . 😊
Great to hear from you, Sylvan- I was thinking about you today, wondering 'Haven't heard from Sylvan recently, hope he's ok'.
