"Does your mom like it"
"That's an office building."
"Yes it is."
Aw, Ian's mom looks nice! What a sweet old lady.
That unibrow is relentless, just like his vocals.
Their only good song uses Ian
@@rong2912 how does it feel to be so so wrong
@@moss42069 You tell me, since you're the professor in that subject.
@@rong2912 Just because he's a professor doesn't mean he's a mind reader.
@@rong2912you are truly a dumbass if you think Fugazi only has one good song
"This apartment building influences my music" "It's an office building" LOOOOOL
"Yes, it is"
Ian has that "you're an idiot" face on lol
I seen Fugazi a bunch a times, but the show they did in the late 90's at the Pallaidium in NYC was most memorable. I was on line and Ian was passing by and I gave the guy a wave, he stopped shook hands and just started bullshittin, what a cool fucking dude. That guy is what being in a band is all about.
that building must be like the greatest muse ever
We owe that building a huge debt of gratitude.
i interviewed ian for an upcoming evens tour in 2007, my first job working for a music paper out of journalism school. we had a 25 minute slot booked; we talked for an hour. he's principled, which puts off some people, i get it. but he was super nice to me, spoke way longer than he had to, didn't give arsey responses to any of my boring questions that i was obliged to ask (fugazi etc) and made jokes the whole time. he's great and i hope i have the opportunity to talk to him one day again.
You probably had a good energy when you asked the questions, so he behaved nicely. It sounds to me that the interviewer has no energy in his voice or no real interest for the band, and he got ironic answers because the questions were silly. He didn't come up as aggressive, just as someone who doesn't have time for tedious people.
ian mckaye with hair is weird
they just love doing interviews don't they
Can't imagine why 🤔
I play music because a piano fell on my head when I was a small child... I’ve never been the same since
I spoke with Ian on one occasion at Gilman St, I'd guess around 88 or 89 and I'd have to say that he was one of the nicest and most genuine people I have met to this day.
This was fantastic to see! Thank you for sharing.
I live in El Paso, Texas and they were one of the few bands that always stopped here on their tours. And they only charged $5 for the show!
I have a lot of respect for them because of that. They chose to keep the price of their tickets afforadable so EVERYONE can enjoy, together.
Down to earth musicians are the best!
It's all about integrity.
you like at the drive in?
@@dyr234 both of bands also tour Together so yeah i like both bands
@@cutecat3662 really? Fugazi and atdi toured together?
@@dyr234 atdi open for fugazi around in/casino/out era you can check fugazi or atdi Wikipedia.
@@cutecat3662 wow, i know they were huge fugazi fans. That must have been incredible.
Guy here looks a bit like Bert from sesame street. :D
Damn, why won't Picciotto release some solo material? I love that guys songs..
That got an ActuLOL when he turned round and went 'do you like my music mom? .. yes she does!' Ian MacKaye, what a legend.
Shouts out to Ian McKaye's mama!!!
Rest in peace Ginger.
Saw The boys in an abandoned church in Texas.... AMAZING
That's awesome.
I can't give you much more than that...
I like how Joe was in the background the whole time but wasn't interviewed...
It may be the 90s but this shit is timeless.
i love the shot of Ian and his mom, so you can see how similar they look.
Realest character in all of music........
Wow i finlly learned how to say his last name , but now ive got to deal with "ggee"?
That needed to be clarified
Damn mediaburn comes through with another classic
yes fugazi can be seen as aggressive...., i think you can listen to 'aggressive' music without being an aggressive person. Point being, he has his mother side of stage listen to this set and she is 'supportive' of the way he expresses himself. All true musicians create music from life experience and all music lovers enjoy what they can relate too.
so straight to the point but so brilliant...
sooo i guess the camerman never even heard of fugazi before that haha
thanks!
Agreed chunk1bunk! Nice to meet a fellow Fugazi fan.
Guy piccioto tired and just give him a honest answer. Awesome
haha it seems as if an interview were the last thing guy and ian wanted to do that day. i've met them both and they're actually quite nice, genuine and patient human beings. however, I did meet them post fugazi, and this was back when they still had their youthful fire if you will, i guess. it's pretty funny either way, though
They played 7th St. Entry around this time. Ian said $5 to get in. The venue tried charging $7 so Ian said they would not play until it was lowered to 5.
gotta love Guy's unibrow!
That building does look like something they'd put on an album cover
@clovismcpony In 1988 I talked to Guy before the Lafayette Park show and he was as nice as could be to me, answered my questions about Rites of Spring since I barely knew of Fugazi still as they were so new and told me to have a great day when he had to get ready for their set. This interviewer was just lame.
Hey dudes, I just wanted to let everyone know that some buddies and myself made a music magazine that features interviews with Ian Mackaye, Henry Rollins, Mark Arm and Jacob Bannon. You can view it online for free at signed magazine 3 Dot com. We're a bunch of broke college students, so we've resorted to atypical ways of telling people about our zine. Ian is a truly great guy. Cheerz
looked it up & i enjoyed it 👍
Ian is really Elias Koteas from Some Kind of Wonderful.
Lets just interview buddy’s mom. She looks so sweet
Guy's eyebrows rule the atmosphere!!!
JW
Just remembered it! "Happy go Licky"... One album though. It was... "will play".. ?
@terryowah lawl at anyone who says Fugazi sucks at making music, too bad they are one of the most inspirational bands of all time.
I saw Fugazi in 1990 at a show in the U.K. at an art school in Canterbury (now the University of Kent) . They were exhausted and Ian had flu but still managed to play an intense show . The crowd was a curious mix of hardcore kids , punks , students and a very lively group of travellers /crusties with their dogs . The show stopped at one point because Guy had an altercation with a few of them - there was no violence but it could've happened . Guy apologised from the stage and that was it . Those early shows were so unpredictable as there was never any security, the venues were so low key and Fugazi would always attract a sizeable crowd of disparate kids .
I like this band so much that I overlook how they mispronounce their band name
hahaha, this is awesome.
Guy actually reminds me of my cousin lol.
I love Ian's mum
They got it from a collection of vietnam war stories it means a situation is screwed up, kinda like Fubar.
It's also italian slang for "fake" which I think is pretty cool, but I don't think they knew that at the time.
The other guy in fugazi besides Ian looks just like Bert from sesame street.
The other guy is called Guy
Sweet JEEEBUS!!!! I should be flogged...
Joe Lally is the bassist... lol.
Sorry, i meant Brendan [Canty]. The 2nd drummer on the tour [or at least in the Mpls show] was Jerry Busher...
hey media burn why the tiny screensize on your website :(
That being said, exhausted and having this knob with a camera buzzing around would try anyone's patience.
...i don't understand the last question of the cameraman...?
Hell yeah! Same thing happened to me when they played First Avenue in Minneapolis for "the Arguement" tour. These guys are anything BUT jerks when a person treats them like regular guys.
Those sesame street eyebrows. Who can forget that
I'm a big Fugazi fan. I know Guy and Ian are joking around. Although some people , the cameraman in particular, does not know this. So the attitude of both really dissapionted me.
Uni-brow. When did Bert become a member of Fugazi?
ahahaha guy is so qt
What park is this in?
so funny... why is this SO FUNNY?
omg MacKaye had hair!
lol that's great...fugazi has some awesome music :):)
Coolest eyebrow ever
He did... Just cant remember the name of the band. :(
fucking icons
Love how he cuts the Neanderthal interviewer short.
Worder man worder
@chunk1bunk same here, im black, and i like 'em. their bass lines are sick, and the guys voice. i hear reggae and funk influences in their music, so i dont think they are. :)
Guy is summoning his John Cassavetes.
@clovismcpony What else do you want? They were just friendly and honest. The interviewer wasn't Mr Inspiration was he?
Who gave the special kid a camera?
ian looks worried for the sped with the camera
Is this the same Ian MacKaye from the right >>>>>>>>>. related videos
@glorp896 They were giving the interviewer precisely the type of response he deserved.
That is it!
0:52 if that guy is name "Guy Picciotto" you ought to read OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE and you laugh
its an office building...
Then it begs the question, why are you watching an interview with him?
Does anyone know the specifics of why the interviewer is getting curt answers? Was the band purposely trying to avoid giving the interviewer anything of worth, or was the interviewer being a pest and trying to elbow his way in at inappropriate times or something?
This was a time in Fugazi's career when they were very full of themselves and thought that they were hotter shit than they actually were. They try to make themselves come across as so deep and intellectual that if you dare even have a question about who they were or what they were doing you clearly weren't smart enough to understand them anyways so they are just going to treat you like shit for it now.
I love Fugazi's music, but they definitely think they're more important than they actually are.
Fugazi was never huge on interviews. Especially ones with completely idiotic questions.
DuppyBruh they're giving him the cold shoulder because he's asking dumb ass questions. Listen to the questions the guy is asking.
Probably because the interviewer is serving up lazy, half-hearted questions with no real interest in the band or their music. I wouldn't treat him with any respect either.
@Solid1rock ....cont. There were plenty of people smoking cigarettes outside the show, but he went after the person who didn't have his head shaved, wasn't dressed in all black, and rolled his own tobacco. He was in such a rush to push his straight edge agenda on us that he almost got the shit beat out of him. And what for? Because Ian MacKaye told him to? Because he was concerned about my friend's health or second hand smoke? NO! He did it to try & act the part he had seen others do.
0m30s mom likes it!
excellence.
the word Fugazi cames from a 2nd war slang that Italian army used to talk that means "Fucked". This word cames again with Vietnan War but this time was used from american army.
wait... so if i go stand in front of that apartment building ill be inspired with musical geniousness? HOLY. FUCK.
DC PPL... are very straight forward and have A great Sense of Humor!... I like that,.... Met Henry Rollins this year... Ian and Hank have almost the same Mannerisms... its uncanny!
Lol they look so annoyed, they clearly did not want to be interviewed.
0:44... ahhh sweet pure cocaine circa 1980. Too bad I missed it, but fortunately I have a few boulders kicking around :))
You're an idiot.
is that patrick odell? lololo
lol yeah. Too bad it doesn't look like they're going to get back together though. I never got to see them live
Word... haha.
This is not a fugazi t-shirt.
AWKWARD
EINBROW
haha :D You like my music mum? Yeah she does
guy is one jacked up looking dude
Guy looks and acts like Bert from Sesame Street
My parents met and got married in this park *mic drop*
I don't think this video was filmed in 1989, those people don't look that oldschool
i think of him as prob. a genius.
