ChooseSuicide No I came to the conclusion after watching A LOT, probably all major, interviews of Interpol. Of Carlos, of Paul, etc. If you're new to this band please research before insulting others. Paul even one time in an interview (after Carlos left) implied that Carlos was an asshole but he tolerated him because he was amazing on the bass.
Both Sam and Paul has spoken unkindly about Carlos. I think it was Daniel who brought Carlos into the group because they had a conversation about Doc Martens boots. Daniel was closer to Carlos than the others. And in Carlos defense, he gave all he could to the band and he felt like he was having the worse time of his life in the band. If I were in a band and I wanted to band to sound a certain way and another member dictates against it, I would feel unwarranted and unwanted and that my input was unimportant. Carlos D felt that he was just a bassist chugging along in the machine.
In the book meet me in the bathroom Paul basically says he and Carlos used to get on well because Paul would take the piss because he thought Carlos was putting on the pretentiousness a bit, but then realised he wasn’t and their relationship when downhill after that
@@Wanderersea not that my previous band was anything comparable to Interpol in any way, but basically the same situation happened to me a few months ago. Me being the bassist and also in Carlos’ position as you described. It is a shitty situation. People in all sides can be shitty, myself included. Being in a band can suck when you have different people with different opinions. You just have to find the people who you click with. Much like a relationship. Now I’m luckily working with one of my friends who I have way more in common with musically and artistically and accepts my style of playing (Carlos & Kim Deal are my big influences) In my previous band, I felt like I was also just “chugging along” as you described. Really made me feel better about the situation. It’s like a bad breakup. I know many people go through the same situation so just know you’re not alone and it gets better when you find the right people or do what you want to do yourself!
I love interpol.... keep the indie art rock alive. The sound is so alive. You should not have to work on anything but your music, unless you like it. I work to pay for bands like this to keep doing what I can't. When pop and hip-hop sing about food and have 4 word repeated choruses bands like this keep word art an enigma for the ears... I like some intelligence in my music. Thanks guys!
I owe it to MTV New every week night for introducing me to a list of new bands between 2001 and 2003 because none of these bands were getting played on the radio where I lived. It wasn't just the big ones like Interpol, the Strokes, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Hives etc. There was also Ladytron, Fischerspooner, Chicks on Speed, The Rapture, The Kills, The Raveonettes, Zoot Women, BRMC, The Vines, Clinic, Mull Historical Society, Grandaddy, Super Furry Animals, Beta Band etc.
The "New York" that everyone is referring to whenever anyone talks about New York no longer exists. It's been gone for almost 25 years now. Now, unfortunately there are a bunch of people here who are basically art tourists. There are no smaller venues to actually even go to see local groups who are coming up. Ever since that freak our ex-mayor Giuliani made it illegal to have a venue where people danced in establishments where they played music and where alcohol was served.. no kidding..I am not making it up. They dusted off these old cabaret laws that had been on the books since the 1930's. I don't know if his crap administration knew that by doing this they would basically put an end to all New York nightlife, it's culture and it's revenu but that's what ended up happening. They called it a "quality of life issue". Combined with the rise of the internet and finished off with the lock down during the pandemic. Add to that (as if that wasn't enough) the astronomical rents these jokers slapped everyone with completely obliterated whatever art community was left here. And now what makes up the general population in the city are those who can afford to pay the median price of $3,500 a month for a studio apartment. These people are not artists, these people are workers and they want it QUIET at night cause they have to get up at 5 or 6 in the morning TO GO TO WORK..they don't want loud music being played downstairs in the bar where they live upstairs from. Nor do they want drinks being served until 4am so let's try to get a "quality of life" ordinance passed that would make the bars close at 2am instead of 4am. So instead of artists (which is what made New York, NEW YORK!!!) You know, what made it THE place where everyone wanted to be ..we now have workers, and let's face it.. They are WORKED. And let's see who else.. bankers and their offspring. Oh and NYU students whose parents are bankers..but we've covered that demographic.

100%. You can see Paul is annoyed with him using obscure words for no fucking reason other than to look cultured. And I'm fairly certain that Carlos used the word "endemic" improperly anyway.
Right, but like idk for his bass-lines alone and his contribution to their initial sound, he can be as pretentious & annoying as he wants. one can only dream to have been apart of a quality record like TOTBL in their life tbh
“ there was a moment here where I realized that at least some level of sobriety is fundamental to playing a good show” Paul is basically saying him and or another member/s of the band have gotten too drunk or high during a performance that they ended up sounding really bad.
My impression is that Paul & Carlos are both douches, and thus couldn't stand each other. It's the stand-off of a certain type of douche, "endemic" to bands, in which they both puff up their feathers and ruffle each other in a vie for dominance. You can at least say of Paul & Carlos that they were essential to the sound in ways that S&D weren't. Look how the music fell off after Carlos left. Bros needed each other but each wanted to be top dog. You see it all the time...
Daniel: "you gonna use that pen huh?!, you, you gunna use that pen huh?!"
hahahahahah
These four were the coolest. ..
Paul's baby face lol
Paul was 20 I think when they got together in 1998 sooo :) the cutest baby
@@harryportfelikartakredytow8907 This is probably at least 2002, so 24.
2:02 watch Paul on the back. Lol
omg I hadn't noticed 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love you ♥️ Paul
Mr. Carlos the intellect has many words up his sophisticated sleeve.
"Like "endemic"? What does that mean man "
"I might go back and work some shifts"
“A lot of this…bla, bla, bla, bla…”. Oh Daniel, you’re a candy for the soul.
agghhh I can't stop watching this interview, it's perfect. also lmao at the part where Paul forgot he couldn't swear on the camera
''Bassist wrote masteres thesis on philosopher Martin Buber'' Oh god carlos why are you so astonishing?!
Back when you could smoke in places and have a beer at the same time. We can cap the old times...
Really love them ! Can't believe it's been 10 years.I was 17 when their debut album was released.
it’s been almost 20 now
wow you’re old now
damn im 17 now and this album still sounds groundbreaking. obsessed with this band
so great watching this - with many great moments: Daniel's annoyed look @ 1:28, Paul and Carlos' "dispute" @ 1:43 and Daniel's humor @ 2:04.
This is one of the greatest video on youtube
"I might go back and work some shifts"
Guess he doesn't have to consider that any more :)
You can tell that Paul is generally annoyed at Carlos because of his douchey behavior, but deals with it because Carlos is undoubtedly talented.

"That's our space until we can afford something better-- we don't know when that will be."
A couple months, Carlos.
imagine having a philosopher in a band that's not the lead singer/lyricist , man that must be hard to deal with.

I can’t stop laughing because of my Guy Carlos D When he just said realize that’s is endemic to the situation that’s you were IN 😂😂

Wait, MTV used to support good music?!?! 😂😢😜

You hear it first was great. Pauls a little kid here and it's great :D
Hasta el bigote chocomilero de Paul Banks se le ve hermoso. 🖤🥺

Got to love “Interpol”
God I love Interpol so much
The band that got me into Joy Division when I was a teen :)
Adoro ésta entrevista 😊

Well, he is the oldest in the group
I love The Group
Isn't that Greg Drudy?

Carlos D is the coolest thing alive
My guy Carlos we made up his own words
HIS SOPHISTICATED Sleeve
Bet Paul knows what endemic means now. 😶
That crazy foo is always blowing smoke rings. lol
Cuando podías fumar en interiores jajaja, que tiempos aquellos.
Paul Banks 😍😍
@JakkyMurders too true, ur not so bad urself- saw ur trainspotting speech,lol, nice
"Endemic? What does that even mean?!" Laughing at Paul's obvious dislike of Carlos but also, I don't think either of them knew haha!
The more archive footage I see of Interpol, the more I see Carlos as an insufferable pretentious theater nerd

Paul was a little bit mean to Carlos...
What does Paul say at 2:19?
gati Miau I might go back and work some shifts. There u go 6 years later
0:12 was does that mean?? Can someone explain please!

Eu n sou viado não, mas o Paul Banks é muito bonito mano, cara é presença
não tem nada de gay admitir que o homem era (e continua sendo) MUITO LINDO
