The interviewer and the yawning students "who need to get ready for lunch" and whose first question is "what do you think of Crazy Frog" do not deserve Harold Faltermeyer's genius.
The interviewer thinks he is cool, but comes across like a jerk, boring and without empathy. Harold seems to be such a nice and humble guy and a genius!
No offense but I have no sympathies for the interviewer too, he is so unfriendly and very arrogant, its a pity and almost unwatchable because of this you could almost feel how he destroys the atmosphere and makes everyone unpleasent, what a jerk indeed. I thought about not posting a comment about the fact but I am glad I am not alone.
I agree ..he keeps looking around the fucking room when harold is talking like he is bored or something then he starts fucking with that sound board or drinking .....wtf.....and he tries to be cute and coy about the subject matter
Great interview. One thing, you got one of the greatest producers on your couch and tell him you have to speed up because people want to go to lunch?! I would have skipped several lunches just to hear him talk about his inspiration.
Please red bull.. Get a new interviewer! He is absolutely inane with zero personality. The guest are great but he makes these interviews very hard to watch.
Anddd it just ended up being the old music spliced in with Zimmers. He didn't even record new music for it and danger zone thr music was by moroder originally
Some FAT FUCK who seemed to purposely do everything WRONG ..he uses clips of ASSHOLES on youtube doing parodies of Faltermeyer's songs instead of clips of the actual videos/songs themselves and he keeps looking around the room and at his fat hands as if he is IGNORING him when he is talking.
wow! deep insights from a men of my youth and one of my infuences in making music .........faltermeyer = best dude ever - he was on almost every record back in the 80s 😂😂😂🤟🏿😎🤟🏿
Near the beginning of the video, I'm wondering if there's a reason why the interviewer opened his can of Red Bull right next to the microphone so that everyone had to hear it?
Did you not clue in to the fact this channel is called "Red Bull Music Academy" or the Red Bull logo is on the wall behind them? You realize this is a school sponsored by them and you still wonder why? Can it get any more obvious?
@@JewiMacca I've never drank Red Bull, so I wasn't really paying attention.. But still, does that mean he has to open it RIGHT NEXT TO the microphone where it would be loud?
Feltermeyer has such a great taste when it comes to synthesizer music. The Axel F. and the Top Gun theme are probably the best two electronic music compositions to date. They just don't get old.
For me, Harold is exactly the person next door whose potential no one from the outside can recognize until you put his unique actions together with the success of the films and collaborations with Giorgio Moroder and other figureheads like Tom Cruise. Average consumers only know him after finding out who this very, very likeable person actually is. Compliment for being and remaining so down-to-earth and human despite great success. Without him, music would have been years behind and I think a lot of successes would have been lost without his competence, sensitivity and ability. THANK YOU for all the enriching moments with your actions and works!
24:24 The interviewer is out of his mind never heard such utter bull why would you sample schlager music. I am sorry but the interviewer makes this almost unwatchable. What does the interviewer know about hiphop? nothing.
Also the interviewer has no idea and understanding of music look how even harold corrects him when he says udo jürgens lyrics are shallow at 29:12 as they are not shallow at 31:12 udo jürgens is my superstar too as I loved his song "vielen dank für die Blumen" which plays in the intro of "Tom & Jerry" :D
El entrevistador es fanático de Kraftwerk y en la entrevista trata de desacreditar a Giorgio Moroder haciéndolo pasar como un hombre que prácticamente utilizo el trabajo de Faltermeyer sin ningúna intervención de por medio...es la eterna discusión de los Fans de Kraftwerk hacia la electro EDM (NRG & Synthpop) de Moroder. A Ryuichi Sakamoto también lo empuja para hablar sobre Kraftwerk y sugerir que Sakamoto basa sus trabajo en el Krautrock. Al mismo Moroder también el entrevistador le toca el tema Kraftwerk a lo cual Moroder le dice claramente "Lo considero trabajos muy simplista"...eso sí que le dolió al "entrevistador" 🤣
Cierto, el entrevistador trató de desacreditar a Moroder sugiriendo que Faltermeyer era quien estaba detrás del trabajo duro de creación y composición, Moroder trabaja en los terrenos de la Música Electrónica Clásica (lineas E. Moog y E. Soundtrack) desde inicios de 1970 en Múnich, casi en paralelo con Jean Michel Jarre (Francia). Moroder y Jarre ya estaban haciendo síntesis directas de la música electrónica con temas Pop/Rock desde inicios de 1970 mientras que Faltermeyer aún no estaba en este campo y los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk) solo hacían ruido y soplaban flautas con su característico Progressive Rock Aleman & Krautrock Dusseldorf 😅.
Udo Jurgens that’s been forever since I heard that. Mit 66 Jahre and Aber bitte mit Sahne 😂 My mum had an album. It literally must have been 40 years! 1983 that she last spun it.
Amazing personality, great interview!! I do have a question, on Donna Summer's song On my honor, were you on the piano and did you come up with that brilliant discrete yet soo musical piano arrangement? I love that song. Thank you! You mentioned nothing about Donna and Moroder in this interview
Loved this interview. I remember seeing Harold's name on many of my favourite LPs of the 70s and 80s. Nice he explained that piston/piano device on E=MC2 as I have tried to find out for years... even reaching out to Giorgio over 10 years ago who didn't seem to know much about it. Giorgio told me the E=MC2 release on CD (at least the old one) was simply a vinyl record recorded to CD which he was not happy about...
When I was in 4th grade, a long, long time ago, my english (as a 2nd language) teacher would play us the Beatles' 'Michelle'. That was in Montreal, Quebec circa 1975-76....
the interviewer is actually not that bad... he keeps himself nicely in the background giving the stage all to Harold, letting him elaborate not interrupting etc. ok, some of his jokes don't really catch but its amazing how generously Harold always turns them into very interesting answers...
The interviewer and the yawning students "who need to get ready for lunch" and whose first question is "what do you think of Crazy Frog" do not deserve Harold Faltermeyer's genius.
Hear hear... completely ridiculous... what I would give to be able to talk with Harold!
@Peter Lerman I thought the exact same thing. I wish I had the chance to go to this event.
Well said
True. Like watching Beethoven being interviewed by a giant turd in front of a pile of turds.
I'm only 30 mins in and I was already thinking most of that don't realise how cool this is, a lot of us would have loved to be there for this
The interviewer thinks he is cool, but comes across like a jerk, boring and without empathy. Harold seems to be such a nice and humble guy and a genius!

horrible interviewer
+ 1 for Harold, what a cool guy
I agree ..he keeps looking around the fucking room when harold is talking like he is bored or something then he starts fucking with that sound board or drinking .....wtf.....and he tries to be cute and coy about the subject matter
Leave it to Red Bull to ruin the chance of a lifetime to interview a legend.
Great interview. One thing, you got one of the greatest producers on your couch and tell him you have to speed up because people want to go to lunch?! I would have skipped several lunches just to hear him talk about his inspiration.
The worst interviewer I can remember - hope this is not his real job
Please red bull.. Get a new interviewer!
He is absolutely inane with zero personality.
The guest are great but he makes these interviews very hard to watch.
Loved hearing this amazing composer and his stories. The interviewer is AWFUL.
i love harolds work but this interviewer made me violent in my mind
Fantastic Mr Faltermayer, but the interviewer is extremely bad!......such a shame.
Interviewer - pretentious twit
Harold - a legend
Interviewer has very dry humor. Doesn't interact with Harold very well.
So sad they don't played the Tango & Cash score.
Just read Harold Faltermeyer is collaborating with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack for top gun 2 🛫
Love it! 👍🏼
Even if “Maverick” sucks, at least the soundtrack should be interesting. Hans ended up replacing Harold as Jerry Bruckheimer’s go-to synth guy.
Anddd it just ended up being the old music spliced in with Zimmers. He didn't even record new music for it and danger zone thr music was by moroder originally
Who is that ghastly 'interviewer'?
Hes a Fiiing Ass hoole thats who doesinst smile or since of Humor !
Some FAT FUCK who seemed to purposely do everything WRONG ..he uses clips of ASSHOLES on youtube doing parodies of Faltermeyer's songs instead of clips of the actual videos/songs themselves and he keeps looking around the room and at his fat hands as if he is IGNORING him when he is talking.
A shame they didn't have more time. I wanted to hear about the Tango & Cash soundtrack!
I can’t believe the interviewer is the co-founder of the Red Bull Music Academy. What a terrible interviewer. Embarrassing to be honest.
wow! deep insights from a men of my youth and one of my infuences in making music .........faltermeyer = best dude ever - he was on almost every record back in the 80s 😂😂😂🤟🏿😎🤟🏿

Maybe he literally does work for Redbull to drink free Redbull, I am not joking actually :D haha
Where would be without Giorgio's right hand man at the time?? Legend. pioneer.
To me, he's like a musicians musician. I know some of his tracks became mainstream but he definitely gets more respect from musos
I bet Harold and Trent Reznor would get along well.
Feltermeyer has such a great taste when it comes to synthesizer music. The Axel F. and the Top Gun theme are probably the best two electronic music compositions to date. They just don't get old.
agreed, they are just futuristic they always will be. That was what was so amazing about them.
They are THE most cheezy recordings ever.
Top Gun theme is NOT memorable whatsoever.
Beverly Hill Cop (1984) and Fletch (1985) are phenomenal soundtracks. I still listen to them in 2023 from time to time.
55:14 stunning little minx
Good call!
for fans of the Pet Shop Boys, jump to the 2 hour mark for a discussion of Behaviour that should've been much longer.
I love everything about this, except so disappointed that they glossed over the Fletch theme.
Have the new version of Axel F and etc been releases yet?
Yes they have...look up Harold Faltermeyer on Amazon.
That interviewer is AWFUL …..

36:36 I feel sorry for the guy he seems to make every possible faux pas there is. How did he get this job? Sometimes this life makes me wonder :D

This is a great share..especially the stuff on soundtracks, PSB and the 'behaviour' sessions. 40 sectors before the beer hut..man, that's hilarious!
One of the greatest XX-XXI century composers, all his music is amazing.
Udo Jurgens that’s been forever since I heard that. Mit 66 Jahre and Aber bitte mit Sahne 😂 My mum had an album. It literally must have been 40 years! 1983 that she last spun it.

Wow, what an interesting insight into the life and work of professional who has had such a profound effect on anyone who was born in the 80's.
When they showing clip from his studio remake of Axel F, is that video available online?
Excellent video! Thank you for uploading this. I learned a lot from it. Take care, Sam.
When I was in 4th grade, a long, long time ago, my english (as a 2nd language) teacher would play us the Beatles' 'Michelle'. That was in Montreal, Quebec circa 1975-76....
Giorgio all day !
🖤
13:21 ist nicht "Schlager" sondern Midnight Blues von Bert Kaempfert.
Redbull lol
3854
12:25:38
haha the interviewer is hilarious.
the interviewer is actually not that bad... he keeps himself nicely in the background giving the stage all to Harold, letting him elaborate not interrupting etc. ok, some of his jokes don't really catch but its amazing how generously Harold always turns them into very interesting answers...
If you like boring, lifeless music he's your guy.
what was the song at 13:00?
