He raped one of the girls while the others watched..did nothing..became pregnant with his child and was having an abortion when Joan took over as vocals...
The man is crazy, but he was a marketing genius. If the bands he made back then panned out, he would be the simon cowell of today in the 70's. Manufacturing bands, his own record label, financing each one. That's how you do it.
Ah, good point. Kim never rose to the level of marketing maven on the scale of the guy behind Menudo or similar bands. One hit like that was enough. He didn't even rise to the level of Mickie Most, who had a factory approach to bands, publicity, & songs. Rather, Kim was like the bottom feeder who wanted to make gold out of bricks or base metals. Sometimes that happened. But he could read trends and audiences super well.
@@Pimp-Master Utter bullshit. Kim worked with bands in numerous countries, discovered Warren Zevon, got John Lennon to play the Toronto Peace Festival, had songs on albums by Kiss, Alice Cooper etc etc. He was a delightful guy who did numerous acts of kindness that he didn't boast about. I imagine you picked up the phrase "bottom feeder" from Joel Selvin's embarrassingly uninformed book. He said KF could not function anywhere but Hollywood, because he was unaware Kim was in London in the early 60s where he knew The Who when they were still called the High Numbers. I've reported some comments here that told outright lies like he raped Cherie and she had an abortion because of it. Ffs if he did that why would she take him into her house when he was dying and care for him. People post things here that they know nothing about.
Michael Shannon is an amazing actor. He plays so many villains and twisted characters. Kim Fowley in the Runaways, General Zod in Man of Steel, the asshole in the Shape of Water. I know there's so much more but he really is an amazing underrated actor.
It's amazing that this weirdo can produce an innocent record call popsicles and icicles by the Murmaids back in late 1963. Then about 12 years later produced the queens of noise the Runaways. Really an odd music mix.
Watch his eyes when The Runaways is brought up, and the absolute shortness with with he gives his "answers"... It's an anti-answer, he's attempting to hide his lies and the tiny bit of humanity he may have left in him...
I wonder if he ever addressed the allegations brought on by Cherri Curry regarding the sexual abuse he inflicted on the band members including the one that he fired Michelle "Mickey" Steele because she didnt "DO" him the way he liked?
Cherie never "brought" that out. Jacqueline Fuchs and Kari Krome were both sxxually assaulted by Kim, and they alleged it. Cherie spoke on what she witnessed, and out of respect for Jackie, did not name Kim's victim.
There's a video of Cherie Currie where she said that none of the parents wanted to rock the boat for fear that the kids' music career would end, so there was their priority - screwed up.
Very eccentric person. Joan claims in her book that he and another associate boned all the Runaways. Movie usually exagerate some, but this guy seems very off the wall.They must have wanted fame pretty badly to put up with his crap.
I just listened to him on the Rock and Roll Geek show, a radio podcast and he came off a bit cocky probably because he has done so many of these interviews. So it's funny to read so many people calling him names.
For all the haters here who apparently have formed a snap opinion of Kim Fowley based on the Runaways movie, just read his Wikipedia description. Amazing legacy.
People keep dissing on Fowley and calling him a creep. They accuse him of "using" the Runaways. So tell me how he is any worse than anyone else in the music industry? Well, he's not. I interviewed Joan Jett in 1980 when she was starting her solo career. She was very disappointed about the way the Runaways had gotten derailed, but she didn't have a bad thing to say about him. Though she did call him a genius and emphasized that was "very intense... very intense!" She even reiterated something that had gone on record before - the real problem in the Runaways was between Cheri and Kim. and now we know that Jackie Fox and Lita Ford couldn't stand Cheri, either. so, don't try citing all this crap media like Edgeplay or Cheri's slanted bio. Fowley co-wrote a lot of the Runaways' songs. He let them become something that no other teenage girls had ever done. He made the Runaways, and that is something that nobody else would have done. So respect the man, even if you don't like him. Without Fowley there would have been no Runaways, and with no Runaways, woman would have a smaller role in music as we know it now.
Eszpresszo No worse than anyone else in the music industry? So, everyone in the biz rapes underage girls after drugging them? highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/the-lost-girls/
Aryno Wyrth Raping and drugging? According to who? The Huffington Post? Wow, aren't you clever! You post a recent hatchet job and suddenly I'm a idiot for taking Joan Jett's word for what it was? BTW, were you actually alive when the Runaways existed? Jackie Fuchs (nee' Jackie Fox) is also a writer for HP and in her candid blog she never mentioned being abused by Fowley, though she did constantly rip on Cheri! And yes, the music industry is very mean. You must be pretty naive to believe it isn't.
No, according to multiple witnesses, but of course, knowing that would require reading the article and giving a shit. I was born in 1968. Jackie Fox has a Facebook account; why don't you log into your fake account and tell her she's lying? And since you think that the music industry is "very mean", you probably believe the story anyway but just don't give a fuck.
Kim r@ped both Jacqueline Fuchs and Kari Krome, allegedly. Kari did not speak on it until Kim was d3ad. Nothing to be gained from that. He was a street-hustler in H'wood (by his own admission), likely bisxxual, and horribly abused/neglected by his mother. Cherie cared for him as he was dying, in an act of unconditional forgiveness. Abused people sometimes abuse people. He was a creative and misunderstood genius.
His accomplishments do not justify his methods. What decent parents would interfere with their children's dreams out of fear? was your question, I hope every single parent. Because those parents had motives to fear, for their child's drug addiction, physical, emotional and psychological health. And yeah you better hope he has nothing but good things to say. The runaways made little to no money for everything they did and Kim Fowley claimed at least 95% of all the profits.
@eksnead I agree; I found his character and the movie and his surrela personality in this footage appropriate for the behavior portrayed by Rock n' Roll in general. I bet you had a great time interviewing him. I'm surprised that some people can judge so hardly when they see a little footage of film. Fowley's personality transcends the camera and you caught that. I agree, people like him help change things and thank God for that. Great interview.
Michael Shannon; my god. What an incredible cast they put together, phenomenal cast, phenomenal movie. Blown away by Dekota and I honestly did not like Kristen Stewart prior but I have a new appreciation for her. She did a fantastic Joan Jett. Michael Shannons eccentrics playing this creature was iconic. But I truly wonder if they had made this film after his passing if they would have included the rape. I understand no one wants to be put in that place as a victim but as I say, a "survivor". to be reminded of or remembered for that darkness.. Although a lot of other things where not put in the movie as well, behind this legend, Kim Fowley was a disgusting MONSTER! Eyes are the windows to the soul and what i see looking back at me, scares me. He created fear although he created greatness. Still had so much control no one could or would speak up with his power. To have sooo much respect for someone for who made you but so afraid as they can take it away from you if you didn't do what they wanted, when they wanted and how they wanted.. They where just impressionable children playing grown ups. The life of a rock-star, lots of drugs, sex and rockenroll. But CONSENT! Unfortunately this is the sad story of many, ESPECIALLY in Hollywood. There is no justifications in that ever! Thanking you for sharing your music as it becomes part of a living time machine 🤘 and girls you made a forever stamp in history. Music has saved my life. And thank you for sharing your life with us. PS. We know why you really wore the shirt " I am not Kim Fowley."
In 1975, when Fuchs was 16, a roadie gave her Quaaludes and instructed her to take them, no questions asked. She'd been given five or six when Fowley allegedly raped her in an Orange County, California, hotel room during a New Year's Eve after-party.
Hope you are aware that the genius and musical legend in your book was a human monster, serial rapist and hideous creature. May he burns in hell forever.
He took advantage of THEM being young, including sexually! Rapist, a horrible Pig! Why treat him with Respect, he used these girls! You reap what you sew, i hope it comes back to him.
That is correct, and thank you for noticing that. Just because a guy makes short speech and speaks in rude parables, in no way makes him ignorant. In fact, he is probably... was at least ... the anti-ignorant.. The Runaways... oh, they rocked my world during puberty....
I followed girl bands later on because (probably) Kim made it so cool to do. But the LA lez community got it without needing Kim's help. Lots of bi and lez Runaways fans out there.
Because he did some pretty messed up things to the runaways and even though they would get tons of income from shows he would barely give them anything. They basically were living off nothing going hotel to hotel.
I love Kim Fowley. I feel like the film failed to show how he kept his business life separate from his personal life and outside of the Runaways, he had good relationships with the band mates and stuff.
Gametress no he didn’t. He raped Jackie Fox and fed the girls a crap tone of drugs. If you want the truth read lita fords book. It’s traumatic what these girls went throughly such a young age
Kim Fowley was a self serving ghoul - he destroyed a cd project my songs were involved in and he saw to it a great drummer and vocalist were sent walking- he tried to explain to me how important of a songwriter he was and then tried to have my tunes removed- it didn’t work but the damage was done
I don't know why older adults today complain about society going down or this and that when you let it be accepted back then so freely so truth is you have a part to blame to why society is going in the same direction but more wicked.
he's very successful yet he's so suppressed, that's an ironic thought which is what makes him fascinating. I feel like if he were to take up Buddhism his frown would some how reverse, just because you can tell he's attatched to something from the past you can see it lurking in his eyes.
What decent parents would put their teenage daughters in this mans care? As a mother of a teenage daughter I know if any weirdo like him approached my child I would be on the phone to the police.
@eksnead I can imagine how you felt, Elizabeth. Kim Fowley called me last week after I wrote to a bunch of artist friends and colleagues offering to promote them on FM radio. I was shocked that he called and so freaking nervous I sounded like a 16 girl watching the Beatles get off the plane. I agree that he is a significant part of rock history and I find him to be absolutely fascinating. F the detractors of your interview. Cheers...
@DiamondDogAngel I wasn't scared. I was fascinated. He's part of rock lore. no matter what you think of him or sid or malcolm or any of them, they helped change things...
Even though Michael Shannon played him and Michael Shannon is a good actor, if the producers had wanted to pick a good actor that also resembled Kim Fowley , then Lee Tergesen would've been a good choice. Tergesen looks as if he could be Fowley's son.
And I could be wrong, but I think that if she still wanted to pursue charges against Mr. Fowley for what he did to her, she still could. But, her life has taken a decidedly better turn since then. And I believe she does not want to go back there. Revenge is something that is not always so sweet. And she has turned that over to a higher power to take care of.
Michael Shannon is dead on looking like Him which isn't the best complement for Shannon , the Guy exploited those young Girls , as He put it " He trained them" , what a dick answer. Seems the producers picked up on His personality , and that's why they diss Him .
Wow, the actor playing Kim in the movie nailed it.
"the actor"
You mean thee incredible Michael Shannon?
the minute I saw him here,I knew....I knew that all the shit about him was true
Watch the interview of Kim with Tom Schneider from back in the day and you'll see him at peak weirdness.
Big fan of his 1968 album and I've heard some stories of what he did in the 60s, when I first heard about the rumours I believed it straight away.
@@spamfried-rice3179 Tom Snyder, NBC, the Tomorrow Show.
I'm sorry, but I have a feeling that back in the day this guy preyed on those young girls. I also think Cherie was the main one who he targeted.
Yeah i think he practically raped her! Total Pig
Jackie Fox says he raped her, and says other corroborate her story. Joan Jet being the only outright denier.
@@miguelurrutdarkorangefan2750 Figures Joan would deny it! Doesn't surprise me.
@@Revelation18-4 wtf she didnt deny it. she said she didn't remember it and didn't want to have a say
He raped one of the girls while the others watched..did nothing..became pregnant with his child and was having an abortion when Joan took over as vocals...
jesus christ michael shannon was such a perfect casting for the role of this guy, it's not even funny
Ridiculous likeness, right? I mean included all the mannerisms and facial expressions, his voice, and the general demeanor. Damn!
I know.... He's beyond an amazing actor.....
He gave me the creeps in the movie. He gives me the creeps here too
The interviewer clearly has no clue about this guy...
He just prayed on the young and vulnerable regardless of what he "accomplished"
Preyed*
Kim Fowley is OUTRAGEOUS!

Theres a fine line between madman & genius & mr Fowley straddles it magnificently!
My favorite scene was when he and Joan Jett (K. Stewart) came up with "Cherry Bomb" in a matter of minutes.
Michael Shannon is an amazing actor. He plays so many villains and twisted characters. Kim Fowley in the Runaways, General Zod in Man of Steel, the asshole in the Shape of Water. I know there's so much more but he really is an amazing underrated actor.
hes the fine line between genius and insane..
epitomizes the reason they call it Hollyweird...
I would believe only someone who roofies people would be worried about being randomly roofied in a restaurant.
wow he's like a real life/ older version of the joker
"The rest of the comment was a darth vader version of a used car salesman." Dark on the inside, banana on the outside.
The Actor Who Played Him In The Film, Nailed It.
he's absolutly crazy
AMAZING!!!!!
this man is amazing.
It's amazing that this weirdo can produce an innocent record call popsicles and icicles by the Murmaids back in late 1963. Then about 12 years later produced the queens of noise the Runaways. Really an odd music mix.
R.i.p beautiful man.
I forgot the name of the man who played him in The Runaways movie but he played him well
He brought his own sandwich, pre-packaged from the deli section at the gas station mini mart, because he doesn't trust the food, LOFL ironic gold.
Okay anyone who thinks of him as even remotely normal needs to read Cherie's biography. He should really be in jail right now.
"Well, what is real life?" that's a good answer
1:51 "I don't want to be roofied at this press conference." Come on, no one does that... Oh wait.
In 1975 i was captian of the beverly High surf and football Team at state beach my coach was the Duke kirk snydetand j j moon
wow- Michael Shannon did do a great job with this guy!
Watch his eyes when The Runaways is brought up, and the absolute shortness with with he gives his "answers"... It's an anti-answer, he's attempting to hide his lies and the tiny bit of humanity he may have left in him...
Raping an incapacitated 16 year old girl is pure evil. He will be punished for that.
I wonder if he ever addressed the allegations brought on by Cherri Curry regarding the sexual abuse he inflicted on the band members including the one that he fired Michelle "Mickey" Steele because she didnt "DO" him the way he liked?

It's funny when he tries to talk about his personal life and then the interviewer keeps on bringing up the Runaways haha
may he rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us
Barbara Bradshaw He's not.
He doesn’t deserve peace
I wonder how many times he said Michael Shannon was Christopher Walken. I can understand why they didn’t invite him.
I'm going to go ahead and concur completely with your perspective.

I read the whole book. And all I can say is it what the music business
why are people hating on him??
Because he did some pretty messed up things to the runaways and even though they would get tons of income from shows he would barely give them anything. They basically were living off nothing going hotel to hotel.
@titanx9 I agree 100% with your evaluation. Well said!
I loooove his style!!!
He rip them off. Only gave them $20. Make them work hours. Very abusive
Wooooow

Did you not see his appearance on the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder? Kim was exactly as he was portrayed in the film. Do a little research.
you fowl man
Ahh...the power of lunchmeat! Say what you like, he's his own kind of genius which is really the only way to be one, right?

Were you in "The Cosmetics?" Kim put So sooooo many bands together. It was insane. I'm sure he put more bands together than Elektra Records ever did.

What decent parents would put their teenage daughters in this mans care? As a mother of a teenage daughter I know if any weirdo like him approached my child I would be on the phone to the police.
Let’s take a trip,,

Call him what you will, the guy made the Runaways. Little puppets.
Well, we're still talking about them, so it was successful enough.
Oh yeah that means something by doping a kid and raping them. Total perv.
Yeah he might have pushed them but them girls did it themselves
Call this movie fake, Joan and cherrie story.... what about Sandy and guitar Goddess Lita
I was avoiding his eyes, through the screen. Creepy. Fuck.

John fuckin-A Wayne.
The irony is at 1:54
King of the night time world
no doubt about it that kim fowley is our own unsung hero/anti-hero in the u.s. of a.what the late malcolm mclaren and bernie rhodes were for the u.k.
He deserved to die, I can't believe so many people are on his side and defending his actions. Its disgusting.
Although he did commit those acts and I disapprove of them, I'm still attracted to his character. I still value his music.
HOLY SHIT! KIM FUCKING FOWLEY!
This old coot should of been dead 50 years ago !
Should HAVE!!! not " should of"
Paul Arata , right.
Even though Michael Shannon played him and Michael Shannon is a good actor, if the producers had wanted to pick a good actor that also resembled Kim Fowley , then Lee Tergesen would've been a good choice. Tergesen looks as if he could be Fowley's son.

why not? Poor little Fowley....

strange it isn't it? he and the actor are almost identical...
