A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Author George R. R. Martin Interview
“I’m not planning on shortening any storylines” - let this remind us of all the unfinished storylines from the show
A Random Canadian Eh yuuup. Thought the same thing. I just finished A Dance with Dragons and I can’t wait for Winds of Winter. The ending of the show left so much disappointment
Right dorne is just out the window, and I'm sure they were happy to make bronn their lord
@@reptarslice2606 Bronn was made Lord of the Reach in the show, not of Dorne.
To be fair Dorne was never really interesting.
Would rather Stoneheart or the full Ironborn plot.
@@ItsButterBean1020 yeah? You're not curious about Darkstar or how the Martell's are cooperating with the Targeryans?
I really enjoy how he actually answers questions in depth with his details of the ideas and history regarding the topic.
He is so interesting to listen to. He must have fantastic conversations with those who get the luxury of hanging out with him.
I guess it's not a coincidence that's he's both interesting to read and to listen to.
Yeah, I've been hungry for real, great conversations. True philosophy in place of common Yahoo's who live around me. I'm sure they mean well ( not really, they're nuts), but none of them are real. They seem unreal. Like am I in a matrix, or what? Hahaha. Nuts.
Purple Dodecahedron I agree, great conversation is a lost art in most circles. It seems the deep thinkers are so few and far between they are lost in all the clutter. The rich conversation filled with inspiration, wonder and thought provoking questions is fulfilling to participate in and I wish more people engaged in. Great thinkers can disagree and still engage in fantastic dialogue and debate. The world could use a heavy dose of that.
I totally agree. I love listening to him answer questions. He has a great depth of knowledge and he puts so much thought into every answer he gives.
I've basically been watching nothing but GRRM videos for the last week.
As much as I'm irritated TWOW hasn't come out, hearing GRRM talk about the issues he runs into is refreshing. The dude gives a shit out his story. He won't just throw epicness at plotholes and hope nobody notices.
I hope that TWOW is the harder book to write and that ADOS goes much quicker
Yes. Yes, and yes. My only hope is things get easier for him as he revises. He's inspiring.
Does anyone else feel like they more learned and wiser after they listen to a few minutes of George talking? Dude just blesses us all with his kindness and wisdom
GRRM is such an intellectual and well spoken guy. I hope i age as well as him.
same except I hope I'm not a fatass and I don't leave my magnum opus unfinished because of laziness
@@corposap I wouldn’t say lazy pretty hard to write a book that’s if you are calling GRRM lazy and a fat ass
I’m in health care... trust he is not a specimen of health. 100% diabetic. Which comes with so many other potential health problems.
@@corposap ok but like the guy is rich as fuck now and hes working on I think he said something around five different tv shows including two game of thrones prequels because they probably pay way more than writing books
@@corposap I hope you don't get to read the last two books :)
I want a Stannis POV. Even if it's a prologue or epilogue.
Stannis could maybe be the Winds epilogue if he dies fighting the Others which would be amazing and so badass.
Stannis ain't making it to the end of Winds man
@@discogypsyfish9577 i don’t see why he wouldn’t
Tolkien spent his whole life on lord of the rings and people complain that martin needs more than 20 years for his life’s work
Niggas almost dead tho
Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings between 1937-1949, so Martin is taking quite a bit longer with 28 years and counting.
@@tomandrews1429 A Sony of Ice and Fire is an awful lot longer than the Lord of the Rings.
@@tomandrews1429 yeah but ASOIAF is a much longer
@@tomandrews1429 Tolkien was working on creating the world and the languages way before 1937
This is very interesting and also very understandable and relatable to me. I love it when George R. R. Martin speaks, especially on his writing.
relax folks, the Interview is from 2015
I love this man, I hope he puts his joy before the pressure to finish the books. I hope we get both but goodness, he seems like a good man beyond his genius
He will definitely put his "joy" before finishing the books lol. Don't need to worry about that
Absolutely love his interviews
It would be a damn shame if GRRM doesn’t finish the series.
Rangers Fan Jill he won’t.
Even if he dies he has a team of people with him that know the outcome and end of the story so the books will be finished
@@ToxicJ12 Hahahah of course that's impossible lol but probably if he dies he won't die too quickly
@@ToxicJ12 Unless we're talking about a team of master writers, these postumous writings will be definetly inferior
Kachimbo true but they know where the story’s going so if they get few other writers I think it will still be great
I hope he loves a long life. Praying for this man
I really would love for him to explore more with the other places besides Westros & Essos. I wish he would dive into places like Yiti, Asshai & the Shadow Lands, Sothoryos, Ulthos, Naath & the Summer Isles & what’s beyond the Grey waste/ West of Westros
Yeah, I'd love to explore Asshai. I heard a rumor that Elden Ring will have parts set in Asshai. No idea if that's even close to true.
@@Dapryor I dont think elden ring is in the asoiaf universe because george and another writer both worked on it. And I cant imagine george letting any other writer influence asoiaf cannon
i wish he'd explore westeros just enough to finish WoW. oh and beyond the wall too
Sadly, GRR Martin already announced he doesn't have any plans to move his story to Asshai. Then again, he could change his mind.
Vipul Doshi yeah like the only parts of Westros I would be willing to see more of is Dorne and the Lands of Always Winter
I would love to spend an evening talking history with this magnificent man, what a joy that would be!
GRRM is playing 4D chess.
Good way of putting it.
@Mars Falcon He has been. Went to a secluded cabin to focus this year.
@Mars Falcon Haha, we can all come off as snarky without meaning to. Me too, he's a fantastic writer; I can see why some people have dubbed him the American Tolkien. I hope he finishes soon!
Thank you.
5D
At this point he's playing 5d chess
One day we’ll get a wider anthology on the world at large, I love to see him explore outside the known map of Westeros and Essos, or what’s goin on in Asshai and Valyria
The more I see him talk the more stoked I get and appreciate him as an artist
I'd love to see a Stannis POV chapter, and Loras and Margery POV chapters as well!
Ugh i want a POV from Sandor Clegane
I'm guessing you haven't read book 4?
ok, but he could be that limping gravedigger though
@@bethanydeslauriers2486 i dont think that theory holds up to any scrutiny
as much i want this, i also want him to be at peace on the quiet isle, dead or digging.
@@Carlos-ln8fd ?? How does it not hold up?
He might change his mind when he starts writing it.
Bro there's like 15 chapters of the book that he has already released. He was past the 100 pages like 6 years ago. If you payed any attention to what he says you'd know he's been writing like crazy for years.
@@Jesse-fd5bv i hope
@@Carlos-ln8fd All the preview chapters he's released were originally meant to be in Dance ma dude...
He said: if the book is not done before worldcon new zealand july 2020, you have my permission to lock me up in my cabin. So i'm having good hope!
I agree. It’s way to early to say
I'm still sad about Kevan Lannister
same he wasnt a bad guy and he was a good hand 😭
Why? He was like the right hand of hitler I mean he always backed up his brother doin really fucked up things in name of house lannister
it was for the children 😹
He was DOA when he agreed to help Cersei run the kingdom.
@@210SAitrue. still it's so tragic to me that the guy who did all he could to fix things is the one who gets killed.
Superb writer he's turned out to be.
I felt he was average till he wrote Tuf Voyaging and the ice and fire series.
Take your time George.
how lucky would you have to be to be GRRM's professor, having him write historical fiction for you, for free, on a DEADLINE
I'd like to read whatever he writes about yi ti
Moe A hells yes! Dany’s ancestors with the flaming swords!
Yi ti and all the places we don’t know about are so interesting, I hope we learn more about the mysterious places my favourite being southoryous
The Great Empire of the Dawn is so interesting! I hope we get some stuff on it someday
You'll probably get one or two mentions at best
Nah, better to leave it a mystery so your mind can imagine wonders that wouldn't be there. Just my opinion
If the show wasn't created he'd definitely have put out WoW already and probably be almost halfway done DoS. The show's popularity gave him notoriety that obviously he couldn't balance out with finishing the books. All I hear about him working with making spinoff shows kinda sucks, you just know that pushes back further his releasing the books. Tbh I haven't started the books I want to binge through them all when the series is complete or binge right before DoS is going to be released. I don't want that disappointment of reading 2/3 or 5/6 of an amazing story and it being unfinished.
No point in waiting to read the books until they're all finished. The books can not be understood in 1 read-through. To absorb the symbolism and foreshadowing, reading the books twice is pretty much necessary. And I say this as someone that hates to reread books or rewatch movies.
Even if the story isn't complete, they're still amazing and definitely worth a read
It's worth the read, but do it at your own risk
You're cheating yourself by waiting; however, is it cheating oneself to never smoke weed, or never taste a filet mignon? Sure, they're great, but they don't satiate, they don't fulfill. Maybe it's wiser to never start reading one of the greatest series of books ever created since, after all, they may not be finished. You will always have the itch for closure, the same way you always have an itch for more weed or more filet.
@@Joe_Yacketori Yeah no I definitely recommend reading the books and I also recommend smoking weed
We need a wilding POV.
My vote is for Osha. Rickon has to be a factor at some point?
We have Davos for Rickon though?
seb bisdee assuming Davos finds him than yes
@@210SAi Osha for prologue? Or will that be a waste of prologue?
Maybe Osha can teach him the zigzag technique
@@brunobucciarati7278
Or buy him some plot armor.
Jon and Arya should give him their supplier.
Jeez man I did that when I was 18... Proceeds to recall every detail.
Just be patient.He will finish the books and we are going to have the end we deserve.
U are right
Not a chance
Maybe the WoW but no chance he is gonna finish the last one before he dies.
S 8 was perfect. Chaos is a ladder...
All the whining about the books not being finished has gotten more annoying than the state of the series at this point. The books have been growing in length, with only AFFC buckling that trend. If the 1500 page length of Winds of Winter is to be believed, that makes it literally longer than GoT and Clash of Kings put together, and a whopping 50% longer than Dance with Dragons. How long did DwD take? ~6 years. So you'd expect Winds of Winter finished in about ~9 years, which, incidentally, is 2020.
i have a bad feeling for jon connington and those in dorne after finishing this video
edit: any others you guys have a bad feeling for? any of the iron born? strictly POV characters
damn i hope George doesnt plan to kill off the "new characters". It would feel as if introducing that lot of new characters in AFFC-ADWD was useless from the start and just give some kind of plot armor to the oldest characters. The turn taken by the series ( expanding POV ) must be either maintained or augmented to make the last 2 books relevant, otherwise returning to a solid 10 POV would basically mean you read all those brienne walking around and quentyn sailing for nothing !!
I hope Connington will leave young dragon's company for a while to be cured by Sam, similar to Sam curing Jorah in the show, and then come back only to find that Aegon (That's his name, right?😂) had been captured by the Dornish. He then follows the trails, ends up in Sunspear where he learns Dorne joined his cause. Just my hopes.... from my G.R.R.M. knowledge everyond will probably die tho
Victarion
@@bruhhh._.150 oh nooo i hope not but there's a strong possibility victarion might take a dirt nap
@@vipset87 I want Moqorro to be of any use tho. Victaryon's "fuming" hand isn't sometyhing common TBH. There is something there.
Yes, he's a master world-builder. Maybe the best ever. But I wished he also remembers that he's a very good storyteller. And stories need endings.
Hidden gem of a comment.
George RR Martin is not your bitch
The Dark Tower would disagree
Facts
@@Isayonelove The Dark Tower was good until King had to start tying everything together into an overarching narrative. It all fell apart pretty quickly after that. King’s strengths as a writer are building suspense and creating characters, not plot.
Some of us may not survive waiting for GRRM to finish the book.
Like GRRM himself
Our health is not his concern
He’s not saying that it’s GRRM’s problem, he’s making a joke, that the books won’t be finished till we’ve all died. He isn’t serious😂
Plus GRRM will probably die of old age himself before he finishes at this rate.
And that is a sacrifice I am willing to make! -GRR Farquad
I absolutely adore George's wonderfully cute laugh!
These Swedes speak very good English.
Thanks dude
Ya dude if you come here you can speak English everywhere and you'll be understood, only thing Swedish school got right was it's English education.
@@primeirrational Scandinavia countries have the nicest people. In Denmark and Norway, even non- fluent English speakers would at least try. Parts of Northern Germany, the people are SO closed to foreigners. Even if they speak pretty good German.
But the accent is terrible.
@@putinsneighbor8351 Yes but the verbal knowledge and pronounciation aswell as sentence forming is good, or do you expect us to speak like cowboys?
I will never begrudge Martin for the time it has taken him. From my amateur writing, I know the difficulties and know his are magnitudes bigger and harder than mine. Considering Winds of Winter is basically the climax of four books (with Dream of Spring basically being the epilogue where the events of the last five books all wrap up) and decades of work on top of all the other things that have happened to him since he got famous to such a large audience, it's no longer it has taken him so long.
Dream of spring will be easier to write.

“Hi, huhuhheheh”
What a coincidence! I'm also planning several new exciting POV characters for my book that I'm not writing
Ouch baby very ouch
I've always wanted to hear the point of view of shae in book 2 and 3 🤣
Man. Does anyone feel the subtle jabs at D&D here or is it just me? They got pushed to Netflix and he has a multi-concept deal with HBO. LOLOL. It's great. I love it.
They don't seem so subtle to me LOL
15:24 finally a mention of Frank Herbert and Dune
Prologue of Rhaegar as the Mad King arrives at Harrenhal
I'm really hoping for a Stannis POV above all.
Ron James Who doesn’t want to see Stannis the Mannis in actions! I say aye for Stannis and for lesser bandits and outlaws
😁 See what i did there!..
Ah but none of the "kings" from the war of the five kings are getting povs, i think
Stannis will bend the knee, when I take what is mine!

Always thought a Hodor POV would be hilarious
I would love a Stannis POV
People that complain how long it takes clearly don't understand how art works. Quality always takes time.
Great video🎥👍🎥👍
He could have made an actual Merenese charater a POV. If he has difficulties with language especially. Oh well
Like the Shavepate? Could have worked.
The issue with that is that revealing the motivations of any of the Meereenese characters in the area through a POV chapter would've ruined the mystery of which of those characters are conspiring against Daenerys and which aren't.
I’m hoping littlefinger gets the throne
In the name of King Tommen the first of his name HURRY TF UP GEORGE
Bro you saw how GOT ended because they rushed the process. No one wants that.
Gosh darnnit fellas, I'm gunna say it! That Martin character? Well, he sure is a swell guy. I don't like to use such strong language, but I mean it!
He’s probably talking about asha or theon as characters who won’t survive the battle for winterfell.
Sir Bariston was my favorite POV chapter in the book.
1:28 that’s how good writers work. This is why the books are so incredibly good, while the show was garbage outside of the little nods to source material and the show sucks
I wonder who the new pov characters will be?
Maybe if Jon con dies then young griff will be one
A Tyrell POV please
@@AOB454 Not necessarily. That depends on who the POV is.
I want a Loras POV so badly but he's not planning on writing a new POV character 😭
For anyone who hasn’t read the books Barry b has some of the best chapters of dance and possibly the series
Oh cool. So those are the two that help him write stuff that he has talked about? Nice.
HBO is sucking the life out of him.

Sounds like he has a lot to write in TWOW.
The interview is from 2015. According to his blog he's on the final stages. Should be out late next year.
If theres one good thing about this pandemic, its that Martin has been forced in isolation for months and has probably made good progress because of it

"I don't want everybody to die at 26"
Kinda surprised GRRM has fallen for the infant death-weighted statistics of premodern life expectency
That's a huge pet peeve of mine. If you don't include infant and early childhood mortality, people lived to around the same age as they did up until the 20th century.
I get the impression GRRM's knowledge of history is not deep -- he knows some stories, but not what was going on behind the stories.
I think its a case of what he was limited to learning at the time. His knowledge is probably deep in many ways but shallow in terms of not being knowledgeable in new info and the correction of historical misconceptions.
@@DeathRex88 Sociological/economic analysis of history has been around since the 19th century, and there were widely available books about it all through the 20th century. Not to mention Marxist analysis of history, which has been around since Marx. If GRRM has taken college or university level courses, he should certainly know the history I mean, and written papers about it.
It's probable he just misspoke and knows that people didn't literally die at 26. But it's something that bugged me about the series, especially the later seasons. It's supposed to be "realistic", but the constantly grimdark world couldn't possibly work in real life, or if it does, we don't see it. All those troops and supplies must be coming from somewhere.
@@floraposteschild4184 oh thanks for the info. I had the impression that information was newer than it was. I appreciate the reply and explanation.
Well, that’s mostly true. Many people did die in infancy or childhood. One third were gone by their teens. However, if people survived to adulthood people often lived to 40s, 50s, and some to 60s. Dying at 40 wouldn’t be uncommon.
So he meet Frank Herbert? Wow
I was surprised too.
5:15 foreshadowing of Jon Snow?

Original comment:
Woah, what house or rather combination of houses is the sigil in your profile pic representing? I like it but don't recall seeing it
@@princelyclouds7980 I'm assuming you mean the white dragon I just changed my profile picture back to? This is Brynden Rivers' personal sigil. Brynden Rivers is one of King Aegon IV's great bastards, from his sixth mistress, Lady Melissa Blackwood. Being an albino, he is *very* pale so he takes a White dragon as his sigil. He is Bloodraven and a key player in various events going on in the present day, unbeknownst to many due to everyone believing him dead.
In Sweden?
Is this a recent interview
I don’t think so
more newer original stories from the show can be good but also at times be distracting. idk
I'm from the future. Martin finally finished The Winds of Winter in 2029.
No one is saying he should rush it , but 8 years for one book seems a bit long , however he has a lot of side projects going on, so I am sure these take a lot of his time.
The only question remains is if he will live long enough to finish his series.
Also to the few people who had some salty remarks with regards to the world of Tolkien are doing the man a huge disservice.
I have read Lord of the Rings multiple times and enjoyed it each time I read it ( although I skipped the "describe the scene parts at some point) and there is some real heart and depth in there ... I mean Aragon's verse has a certain music to it and if you read the epilogue and the sadness of the passing of the 3rd age in general , I cannot imagine anyone not feeling something.
Yes LOTR is a product of its age and its maker, so sex is not a big thing yet love is, as well as a certain swansong about the final deathblow to old country life and the final victory of the Industrial revolution, as well as the costs of war.
Now I like GRRM's books in their own right, but I can't imagine reading them again ... and even though I dislike season 8 of the TV series, up until that point I think D&D were very efficient in storytelling and in some instances I even prefer the TV version of certain events over the book version of said event.
I mean looking at Meereen for instance , the entire last book hardly anything really happened plot development wise ... also the fact that Jorah is the one with greyscale and happens to come across of Sam tying everything was much cleaner ... and Jon Snow being a targaryen and going to hardhome in the series was great ... in the books he may very well remain dead ( although I doubt it).
Again I like depth of characters and season 8 and perhaps a part of 7 really screwed the pooch there in teh series, but before that it was in balance ... in the books you just go from dialoque to dialoque exploring characters ...but looking at actual events/progression of the plot it moves along like a snail.
And looking at the pace and where he might be going as to the conclusion icw his writing pace, I hope he has something of Numenor in him, because otherwise I think he dies before he will finish
Old ass interview with click bait title
The feedback though..... come on ;) XD
Is he always whered the same?

@@fox2569 If you believe that were never getting Winds of Winter, why are you hear? What do you hope to achieve through commenting?

Has this answer satisfied you? If not then by all means I’m sure we can spend hours dissecting word by word the means of my comment in much greater depth since you clearly have nothing better to do than ask inane questions to get a rise out of people.

Does anyone ever ask him if he has a favorite character?
Think it was Daemon unless you meant for this specific timeline
Daemon is his favourite Targaryen.
Tyrion is his favourite character.
Not finished yet?!!!
Why are there so many interviews with him? Let the man write and your questions will be answered
You can't just spend all your waking hours writing, it doesn't work like that. I wish people would understand that.
@@ze_rubenator Sadly, I think all the impatient people who want him to write the book 24/7 like slave work, probably haven't been in the same writer position as him or even close. And unfortunately, the majority of his book reader audience aren't writers themselves so I don't think they will understand unless properly educated on why he shouldn't and can't be spending every waking hour writing the book.
9:45 George it’s still like that. I want to pull my hair out

You guys are gonna destroy his love for ice and fire and still look for someone else to blame
The ending of the TV series was so bad im not sure I want to finish reading his series. If hes going to end the books in a simular fashion to the TV series it feels like an insult to the journey. Example, he teased that John Snow was of royal blood since book 1. And to dump him back on the wall shits all over Snows entire story arc. What was the point to know he the rightful heir if your not going to pay it off. And there are many more examples. I've suffer this depressing series because it was written well and their was the promise that the ending would be worth the journey. But I'm not sure of that anymore.
Mark Bauer a lot of his story is about how royal blood shouldn’t matter, and Feudalism is well, feudal, compared to other forms of government. Jon succeeds despite not knowing his true parentage.
FUCK THAT TRAITOR
TV show has nothing to do with the books
@@marsxSIN the first 5 seasons of the TV show are almost identical to the first three books. So they do have something to do with the books. They drew heavily from them.
@Dark Wizard then you must not have read the books. They took a lot scenes verbatim from the books. Though the TV show did add and change scenes for times sake its overall arch was virtually identical to the books. Til about book 3 and season 5. Were characters were excluded and arces were condensed. Which is all irrelevant. It doesnt matter if it's the series or the novels. For all the foreshadowing they did with snow and other, to not pay it off sucks. I understand a good author shouldn't given the reader everything they want, but the way the TV series ended was shameful. It was a spit in the face to all the fans who watched religiously and rooted for these characters.
How long does George think he's going to live? He has all these plans I'm just curious.
He might live longer than you though...
@@strev2143 well, if he plans to live longer than me, he needs to eat a few more salads, or de-age himself about 30 years.
@@michaeldriggers7681 you flatter yourself. George CAN outlive you and People do die young. Consider that student from your highschool who died at that age? You should have just wished the Grandpa a long live and with all his desires... His certainly entertained you with his arts and is still trying to do at this age that's why his still writing winds of winter at this age. Least you can do to show your gratitude is wish him long Life.
DUUUUUDE medieval Persia is fit for Dorne even the stories in English online about the characters in Persia (later known as Iran) are well... to some point legendary, Zoroastrianism was and still is a religion revolving around fire which sounds familiar, Dynasty of Achaemenian were stuff of legends, the buildings they made (pre-medieval) the technology they had, 550 BC they had sewer systems in their cities; all of these were in Persia later known as Iran which is 3rd world country now, because of 2 major invaders Mongols and Arabs; they burned down our libraries with all one-of-a-kind manuscripts about science, Astronomy in Persia was millennia ahead of the world now they think Stonehenge is a wonder... dude a Persian astronomer invented Alchohol... they were often working in several fields; of course back then Persian dynasty was stretched half way across the world but still language was pre-Farsi original Persian all accross the country
But just imagine all the time you’d have to write all those other novels if you finished WInds of Winter.
Why put a spoiler right in the fucking thumbnail?
