She is so fucking charming. Every interview I watch, she is just so open and honest and down to earth and engaging. We need more Shirley Mansons in this world.
She is fucking awesome. I need to follow her immediately. I love how she isn't ashamed of getting older. That is such a healthy attitude. Her music is also amazing, but that goes without saying.
because people are intimidated, by a strong women warrior that is never a afraid to speak her mind. Hats off to you Mrs Mason, the world needs more people like you!!
She's great! I was a teenager when the 90s arrived. When I first heard and saw Garbage on MTV it was mindblowing. I did not know then women existed that are so confident, articulate, strong - and sexy in a very different way that I know women (Yeah, but what do you know about women as a teenager?). She's one of my female icons in music, together with women such as Dolores O'Riordan, Kim Gordon, Björk and ... harrumph ... Susanna Hoffs.
What started from curiosity of her outspokenness, honesty, and fearlessness became amazement of it all. It's awesome to see her pressing on through the hate and negativity, and still do what she loves.
try watching/listening to Howard Stern.. he's the best in my opinion. not sure who you're into but just listened to a Sandra Bernhard interview (she's been on many times), she's amazing, of course a ton or musicians, comics, actors, etc. Gwen, Courtney and Madonna (Gwen and Madonna have been in the more recent years) the interviews are like 2 hour-long, in depth and personal... he's gained the respect he did not always have as has shifted his focus on these interviews. it's a rarity to have people of this caliber open up about almost everything. As a fan of his in general I notice this evolution... definitely recommend!
Every time I see an interview with her, I'm impressed all over again at what a great lady she is. The ultimate Rock chick in my opinion. Oh and she has a great analogue sound system in that room, especially the valve amp and speakers...I'm a bit of HiFi geek.
I still to date listen to Garbage on a weekly basis. Love every album. They've stuck to their sound perfectly. Always had hoped for at least one single between Gwen and Shirley.
@@PerryPapanier Exactly. As a woman myself I'm sick of hearing about how bad we supposedly have it. It makes us all sound bad. Its especially laughable coming from someone as famous and privileged as Shirley.
Courtney? As in Courtney love? Aww that's so sweet from Shirley. Courtney gets so much shit in the media just because she is honest with who she is.and the things you see are part of her defense mechanism. This was a great interview
Shirley is my idol in way that.. I mean, look at she in 50, she paints her hair in bright colors and wears cool clothes at concerts, she has a cool figure and she still make music and give a show. She is an example of the fact that a man can be a bright person and live a bright life even in 50 years. In my country(Russia) I can't even imagine seeing a man at least 30 years old with pink hair on the street.....Our mentality does not understand the external expression of the inner world, and it's very sad sometimes. .. Anyway, Shirley shows that you always can be yourself. She still has her inimitable style, her mind and her charm and I love it all in her.
Great interview, I so much love people who are so open and straightforward, WYSIWYG! If I cycle in the rain (being in the Netherlands, that is about to happen, a little less now due to covid), I always have "I'm only happy when it rains" in my head and frequently sing that aloud when cycling. It's been in my head among other great Garbage songs ever since witnessing Garbage Live on Pinkpop and Werchter festivals. One of my 90's? big influences
I have loved shirley manson and garbage every since I was in highschool! I used to have a wall completly covered inch by inch in posters of shirley! she will always be an idol to me!
awesome... I love her. one of my first albums 12 years old saw them in concert. Shirley is so enthralling and badass. My moms Scottish which was another connection for me. Great to hear her now greater to have got to experienced them as a young girl.
To ( the three of) us down here she's 'Big Shirley', we love her, her music, and that she also speaks out is of unseen value for every human who does not have a platform. We were to criticise or at least slightly distance ourselves on her 7 seconds about Courtney Love, at times we think it's almost like putting a good word out for a corrupt politician, but we walked away from thinking anything, and we guess Shirley Manson might be kind of aware anyway. Shirley has her reasons to put a better word out for C. Love. We respect her - Shirley Manson as someone of who we think has real reasons - which she has thought over before she speaks them out. The whole entire rest of this interview is (to us)one of the few of artist interviews worth listening to more than once.
@@iloveyoulawliet179 yes, after all record is she manipulates by telling a different story each time - and is physically violent when she doesn't get the attention she wants. She should have continued with her early lyrics talent - but instead became corrupt on all levels to get into fam light. // I understand if you'd want some links - i only just read your comment comming back from work - 3 min time for net and emails. But Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth for example wrote down what others only remember in their heads, try Kim Gordon's 'Girl In A Band', chapter ..(? 32) .. on Courtney Love. Fame doesn't justify to get justified on anything. Money doesn't either.
I feel like we get so used to seeing artists who enter into "Interview Mode", where they kind of just repeat the same couple of catchphrases and never really reveal.anything, then when you finally see someone like Shirley, who almost can't help but be themselves, be honest, genuine and actually SAY something for once...it really bursts out, it's so fucking refreshing
She always elstes a genuine warm smile.If I ran into her somewhere ,I would look at her with a head tilt and it wouldn't be cliche and I would just grin like she knew me and I would just carry on after saying you're excellent thanks for not getting a job. Hope it doesn't sound weird but she's special. thanks Shirley
Very beautiful, interesting and humorous woman. Nice to see Shirley. As always perfectly looks, jokes. Love her voice, big eyes, red hair and temperament.
I know In the US there was a blacklist of music that radio stations refused to play because it was deemed provocative or had "provocative titles" e.g burning down the house by the talking heads
my moms Scottish, don't need a crash course... there are tanning beds, sun, unhealthy foods, drugs, etc. pretty much everywhere. she obviously takes good care of herself and has the money to do so. the American aesthetic is totally different than European lifestyle, my moms got red-hair looks quite a bit younger. I was a massive fan of Garbage at 10-11, one of the first shows I saw, so it's a big jarring that almost 20 years has flashed by so quickly.
She obviously does take care of herself and even more, she hasn't buckled down to getting plastic surgeries on her face which probably helped as well. Plus the fact, she still dresses the way she wants to, pink hair and all. I feel like that can help retain a youthful fire as well.
Kim Taylor Bennett: The key ingredient of quality journalism is getting things right. You managed to get it wrong in your first sentence: Loz Feliz is pronounced Los FEE-lez, not Los fe-LEASE. Details matter
Great interview! One of the women I loved as a teen- I love her still. I may not be a fan of 'third wave' brand of feminism, though nothing in the interview really bothered me. She's got a great sense of humor, she doesn't have the more millennial penchant for holding back & censoring herself lest she 'offend' someone, & relating her personal experiences struggling with body image & overcoming her demons was helpful to me, a lot of women can relate. Men also have insecurities, so I don't see it as a 'feminist' issue, it's a human issue.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time! Shirley is such a beautiful, wise and kind woman. None of these negative comments are warranted. I don't like Beyonce either but I'm not going to hate Shirley because she likes an artist that I don't? lol.
I love interviews with Shirley Manson. She's one of the most intelligent and articulate people in music. And funny. Thanks for uploading this!
Yes +
I second that.
She’s an amazing woman.
She is so fucking charming. Every interview I watch, she is just so open and honest and down to earth and engaging. We need more Shirley Mansons in this world.
She is fucking awesome. I need to follow her immediately. I love how she isn't ashamed of getting older. That is such a healthy attitude. Her music is also amazing, but that goes without saying.
She was one of my crushes in Jr. High. She's always been this awesome and outspoken.
She was one of my crushes for many a year too.
Shirley Manson's laugh is an amazing thing.
OMG I could literally listen to Shirley talk for hours. Everything she says is interesting. I dont think she could ever be boring.
Shirley is phenomenal.
she talks so genuine but deep and omg I really aspire to be like her. I wanna think about everything the way she does tbh
I have nothing but respect for Ms. Shirley. She is a legend and a strong person. Hats off to her.
Ms.?
I think you mean Mrs.
She's married.
@@JohnSmith-qn3ob Okay. Your point?
@@etherealdreamerart My point? My point is a married woman is called "Mrs". That should have been self explanatory.
@@JohnSmith-qn3ob How about I don't care. Didn't know she was married and not changing now because it bothers you just because. Be gone.
@@etherealdreamerart It doesn't bother me, I was just correcting you because you were wrong. Also you cared enough to comment.
What an icon. Way underrated and underappreciated.
WILD THINGS
trew
because people are intimidated, by a strong women warrior that is never a afraid to speak her mind. Hats off to you Mrs Mason, the world needs more people like you!!
Mostly by herself, from the sound of it :'(
She's great! I was a teenager when the 90s arrived. When I first heard and saw Garbage on MTV it was mindblowing. I did not know then women existed that are so confident, articulate, strong - and sexy in a very different way that I know women (Yeah, but what do you know about women as a teenager?).
She's one of my female icons in music, together with women such as Dolores O'Riordan, Kim Gordon, Björk and ... harrumph ... Susanna Hoffs.
If Girls need a role model Shirley is a good one.
What started from curiosity of her outspokenness, honesty, and fearlessness became amazement of it all. It's awesome to see her pressing on through the hate and negativity, and still do what she loves.
man i picked up first Garbage album in 1998 when i was 9. fan ever since. lots of love for Shirley
Same year for me, except I was 5 and was watching them on MTV, couldn't buy my own albums at that point.
One of the best interviews I've ever seen
Like many, I fancied the shit out of Shirley Manson. To use modern parlance, I would've hit it raw and never pulled out.
Look up more interviews with her, she's really profound and a badass, especially as time goes on.
try watching/listening to Howard Stern.. he's the best in my opinion. not sure who you're into but just listened to a Sandra Bernhard interview (she's been on many times), she's amazing, of course a ton or musicians, comics, actors, etc. Gwen, Courtney and Madonna (Gwen and Madonna have been in the more recent years) the interviews are like 2 hour-long, in depth and personal... he's gained the respect he did not always have as has shifted his focus on these interviews. it's a rarity to have people of this caliber open up about almost everything. As a fan of his in general I notice this evolution... definitely recommend!
That was a great interview Kim. You asked the right questions. Shirley is such an interesting individual to listen to. Thanks.
Every time I see an interview with her, I'm impressed all over again at what a great lady she is. The ultimate Rock chick in my opinion. Oh and she has a great analogue sound system in that room, especially the valve amp and speakers...I'm a bit of HiFi geek.
if she is the penultimate who is the last?
i think your definition of penultimate isn't the general definition! haha
Yep got my definition wrong...its corrected now.
It's the brogue.
I thought I was the only one noticing the speakers!😄
She's an international treasure. There's no discussion, that's just how it is.
Love Shirley Manson! I got to see her in concert in a small venue in the 90's. Best concert I've ever been to!
"I'm not gonna let the trolls get me down."
AWESOME
i hope i can look that good when i'm 50.
teach me your ways, Shirley!
Great interview. Thanks.
I felt myself so connected to her and her energy, I love the way she is growing up.
I still to date listen to Garbage on a weekly basis. Love every album. They've stuck to their sound perfectly. Always had hoped for at least one single between Gwen and Shirley.
Shirley is beyond awesome. She's always been herself and true to music and I love hearing about her views on this crazy industry
She is such an impressive person : massive personal growth
I love Shirley. I don't often listen to her interviews, but when I do I always love them. She has a relatively unique thought process.
DAMMMMM SHIRLEY LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOOOOOOD FOR TURNING 50!!!! its shocking that she's turning 50, she look no where close to 50!
Why so many dislikes? What a great interview!
Apart from dumb personal insults ... anything else you're capable of sayin'?
It's probably that whole "crushing testicles until they bleed" thing.
@@rupertbaxter2274 like the music but not her politics n tired of hearing how bad women have it. Let alot a famous one.
@@PerryPapanier Exactly. As a woman myself I'm sick of hearing about how bad we supposedly have it. It makes us all sound bad. Its especially laughable coming from someone as famous and privileged as Shirley.
because she plays the sexism card, which is B.S. Her voice and sexiness is why she's here. Don't get all angry cripes
She's so fucking amazing. I can't.
I've admired her ever since I was little.
Courtney? As in Courtney love? Aww that's so sweet from Shirley. Courtney gets so much shit in the media just because she is honest with who she is.and the things you see are part of her defense mechanism. This was a great interview
Yes; she's talking about Courtney Love. Shirley's been a champion of hers for many, many years.
Courtney's life's a mess and she carries on, I admire her.
This is an absolutely fantastic video, thank you Noisey! Kudos to BTB and Shirley - you are inspirations!!
Omg I LOVE this woman, so insightful, so honest, so full of life! Perfect interview!
Was never the biggest Garbage fan growing up, but she is a classy, elegant, and wonderful talent that you can't help but admire.
Classy? I disagree. Hand your testicles over to her.
She's been a role model and an idol of mine since the beginning of her career. What a fantastic interview.
4: 50 Androgyny and Cherry Lips were playing non stop on MTV, I didn't know you felt like you were failing then.
In the series debut of Q&As; With KTB, Noisey editor Kim Taylor-Bennett sits down with legendary Garbage frontwoman and feminist icon Shirley Manson.
She looks tired.
@ Noisey,
That word, "legendary": so overused these days.
No, she's just not had a facelift. She's had nothing done. She looks fine to me, she's a fifty year old woman.
I'm not sure why "sexism" has testicles.
Yeah we need more testicles in the music world.
One of the coolest girls ever.
This report is awesome, well thought out and put together. Couldn't have wished for a better throwback doc on a band that deserves it.
Shirley Manson is my fucking idol. Much love.
Shirley is my idol in way that.. I mean, look at she in 50, she paints her hair in bright colors and wears cool clothes at concerts, she has a cool figure and she still make music and give a show.

Anyway, Shirley shows that you always can be yourself. She still has her inimitable style, her mind and her charm and I love it all in her.
wow! i never listened to an interview with Shirley before, this is pretty amazing. She is intelligent and super likeable.
90's best music period.
How can this interviewer not know Shirley's Birthday. It's her 50th Birthday she's going to ask her about and she didn't do the research?
She's so genuine and real, just love her 🤘♥️
I love how she's still Budd with Gwen Stefani! ❤️🖤 I hope they perform together again someday
I love Shirley Manson!
Great interview, I so much love people who are so open and straightforward, WYSIWYG!
If I cycle in the rain (being in the Netherlands, that is about to happen, a little less now due to covid), I always have "I'm only happy when it rains" in my head and frequently sing that aloud when cycling.

She is utterly fantastic.
I love her so much.
I have loved shirley manson and garbage every since I was in highschool! I used to have a wall completly covered inch by inch in posters of shirley! she will always be an idol to me!
I enjoyed this far more than I expected. I was never a big fan of Garbage, but she is a super cool and interesting woman.
Not do be demeaning or anything, but her hair made me want Strawberry Nesquik.
SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!
What a charming and talented woman
Knowledge is power. True. Very true. I can tell Shirley wanted to say more. I like thinking about what that could be.
Still smokin and great interview.
awesome... I love her. one of my first albums 12 years old saw them in concert. Shirley is so enthralling and badass. My moms Scottish which was another connection for me. Great to hear her now greater to have got to experienced them as a young girl.
Great interview!
If I ever met Shirley I would do everything possible to make her laugh. She has the best laugh ever ❤
this is so enjoyable to watch...
6:58 I'm not cutting myself but I am definetly hurting myself and it's so great to hear this fucking tunnel is not infinite. ☺ Thanks.
Great interviewer, Great interviewee.
agree. I wish I was in the scene somehow. even as the carpet. hah!
She's so amazing, I love her!! strong, smart, REAL woman
With a potty mouth.
she's so wonderful.
A very good interview with a great woman! Plus, she's my age and I also enjoy adding the years on. More years, more fun (at least for now)! ;)

what a beautiful person. Shirley you're excellent. Keep doing your good thing xx
Always utterly baffling to me when I hear artists who wrote their own music, praise pop stars.
"not pretty enough"??? what? are they blind?!
What a genius.
Very beautiful, interesting and humorous woman. Nice to see Shirley. As always perfectly looks, jokes. Love her voice, big eyes, red hair and temperament.
She's so positive energy!
Love her!!!
is anyone else falling in love with Kim T Bennett? Love intelligent, understated women. Oh, and Shirley's great too.
Shirley Mason Been Bae!!! I Love Her dawwg i swear, Shirley if You See This Thank You, Fucking Love "Medication"
I Like her attitude!!
why did the world didn't want to hear their music after 9/11? I wish she would talk more about that.
I know In the US there was a blacklist of music that radio stations refused to play because it was deemed provocative or had "provocative titles" e.g burning down the house by the talking heads
Shirley Manson, apart from being an alternative powerful singer, she is an intelligent and feminist woman, I like her.
I'm going to see Garbage tonight in Santa Monica, but first I must dye my hair powder pink!!
Ella es lo mas hermoso de este mundo te amo shirley manson
I just love her.
how the fuck is she 50!?
Must've been born 50 years ago.
I get it now! she looks much younger arse, you get that eh?
my moms Scottish, don't need a crash course... there are tanning beds, sun, unhealthy foods, drugs, etc. pretty much everywhere. she obviously takes good care of herself and has the money to do so. the American aesthetic is totally different than European lifestyle, my moms got red-hair looks quite a bit younger.

Great interview, but Girl, you messed it up with her age, and birth date, She was born on August 26, 1966.
Two days after my birthday!
No wonder I lover so much!
We’re both Virgos!!❤️❤️❤️
i feel love for that woman
legend
shirley rules. one of the great woman of rock.
Great interview! One of the women I loved as a teen- I love her still. I may not be a fan of 'third wave' brand of feminism, though nothing in the interview really bothered me.
