Just met this guy in a book store in NYC. Very kind and friendly. Signed his book for me and wrote a personalized message.

[@pointblankmusicschool]

A true gent!

[@evan51012]

I remember watching the mtv premiere of last night, and i instantly got hooked.

[@karentorrento874]

I love this man so much! These students didn’t know how lucky they were. I could listen to him talk all day!

[@snufkindan]

Very grateful for the content posted by this channel. I feel like this would have been more interesting if the interviewer had prepared some more specific questions relating to the video title. Still interesting, but feels more like a general interview with Gordon himself than the video title

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Thanks for watching! In this case, the video title came after the interview.

[@katherinnesTV]

Super cool interviewee! Now I’m definitely going to look for this book!

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Amazing! We think you'll like our video with Trevor Horn too.

Great interview with a legend

[@pointblankmusicschool]

He is indeed a legend!

[@justinmj6586]

If youre a real Strokes fan from the first EP you definitely were born before the 90s.

the damon albarn story made my day

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Ha! Ours too.

[@jonathanmeza6535]

Great interview!

[@pointblankmusicschool]

What a guy, eh?

[@thomaskemper9328]

Gordotron, How I miss you! A great influence in my early life. I’m still hitting and kicking shit, and proud to be a Colour Twig, …Kemper

[@FabianEchandia-zm2cl]

Congratulations for this great interview. I really appreciate Gordon's work. As a Spanish speaker it was quite difficult to search for the Leeds' bands he mentioned. I understood something like 'Counting Sundance' and 'Primus Star Power' and I couldn't find anything at UA-cam and also Google so I guess I misunderstood the band's names.
I would truly appreciate any information about them. Cheers!

counting 7s

[@eancurtis9333]

Awesome

[@pointblankmusicschool]

We thought so too.

[@Motawa88]

Isn’t logic form apple?

[@DanielS10291]

Apple bought logic

[@energytide]

Man this interviewer could’ve dug in a bit more

[@pointblankmusicschool]

We hope that Gordon will pop in again.

[@TheJack12]

Finding out what were his most used gear and synthesisers and ask him about them seemed to me like a good level of digging musicwise. As lecturer, I found asking those type of question could have beneficial for students. If then you then wanted to know more about his personal stuff, you can ask the man himself on socials. Raphael is a lovely person, I am sure he would answer to you. :)

[@leonardofonseca1780]

jeez... the interviewer is allways "uuuuuuhhhmmmmm, uuuhhhhh ummmm, eeehhhhh" lol, other than that the interview was very good!

[@pointblankmusicschool]

He's a big fan!

[@TheJack12]

I am sorry for this, I am one of the lecturer, not a professional presenter. I will be working on this if I happen to host any other interview so thank you for the feedback. However, I am glad you liked the content of the interview despite the “Uhhhm”.

[@johnhansel3481]

The guy seems nice but he did a terrible recording Julian’s voice, it’s thanks to Chris Liepe’s voal analysis of Reptilia that I realized how great a singer he is. It is scary that students listen to this guy who produced the strokes so badly by hat it sounds like Julian sings in an interphone

[@Cellenium125]

this was probabluy the wound he was going for though. It doesn't take some genius producer to get a clean vocal sound.

[@vtv4077]

You didn’t get the whole point.

[@ricopaulson1]

Love his vocals on those records. It's just your opinion.

[@Scottlazybones1979]

Awesome interview, gonna read his book
