Like many of the most important figures to emerge in the foggier, drearier strains of grunge, metal, and post-rock, Dylan Carlson is a Seattle native. In the late ’80s, Carlson founded the band Earth, which first achieved a surge of recognition with its 1992 debut album for Sub Pop, Earth 2. Carlson's work with Earth in the ’90s helped define and establish the drone style of rock, which slowed down the fury of metal and married it with the tonal interests of minimalism. As the mastermind and backbone of Earth, Carlson has come to be seen as the father of drone. With more than 15 albums to his name, he has spent three decades exploring the sonic potentials of his guitar. In recent years, Carlson has also incorporated influences from traditional folk music into his work while also collaborating with fellow experimentalists such as Kevin "The Bug" Martin.

I want to hear a conversation between Dylan and J. Mascis. It would be the drone doom of interviews
Hahaha
Interviewed by Julian Casablancas
and in walks Crispin glover
🤣🤣🤣
Indica and Sativa
He speaks almost as slow as he plays.
Love Earth
In real life too. Got to meet him once briefly. Seems like a very kind down to earth guy.
2x speed
how funny is it that this interview is sponsored by an energy drink
Red Bull and Earth go together like water and oil haha
best comment ever 10/10
energy drug
I find that a red bull goes down nicely after a bong hit
😂😂😂
He brought up many great points, but my favorite is his point about competition. Competition is the killer of creativity. Stop competing and start creating!
Ridiculous. Most innovations exist because of competing forces.
Wow, what an intellectually searing reply.
Yeah, haha. I mean, I don't always feel the need to sound intelectual or anything.
Fahad Baseer well for some it is the competition that keeps them inspired and driven to create music
You missed his point. Not competition but rather a misguided purpose that he warns is bad for music.
If you play it at 1.25 speed, Dylan speaks at a normal pace.
HA! Its so true. You dont even notice a speed increase if you dont watch the video. It just feels natural.
Hahaha so true! Dylan and J Mascis speaking paces are out of this planet!!
Thats his Creativity LMAOO!
textbook opiate voice
Thank goodness he's clean!
Best ASMR video on youtube
Great to hear Dylan talking about his history in such an open and honest way. A pioneer and a truly original artist. Thanks for the interview.
oh yes drug dealer is an artist in your world
😂😂 an honest way...OK...actually maybe he should be honest about his history for a change..He comes across a nice guy here ,but believe me I've heard some really horrid shit about this guy..And it's not just the Kurt thing either
.
@@eire3215 you heard what? from where and whom?
It's great to see Dylan speaking in depth about his music.Thanks for the interview.
Why does he never talk about his"best friend" ???
that was great. the interviewer was so sweet and cool and obviously is a huge fan of dylan's and patient minimalism.
then give her money
i love the language this guy uses. speaks like a true artist.
Super down to earth guy. Met him after a show down in Olympia and we BS'ed about music among other things. Got a pic with him and shook his hand. Just an all around nice guy who really appreciates his fans.
Talked to him a couple of times at his shows in the Netherlands. Very friendly and humble dude indeed.
Got his autograph! Love Earth.
He's gonna be playing near me in August- I was gonna ask if anyone's been to his shows & found this comment. 😊
tara joseph where you seeing him?
down to "earth"? eh? eh?
it's great to hear him list Terry Riley and minimalist influence... i group Earth w them as a listener but ya never know how the artist sees it
Wait! This guy started the earth?? I need to ask him directions out of here.
His voice is in C#
I have perfect pitch, its more in F Sharp
@@mcdude0192 if you have perfect pitch then why would you say "more in" instead of something more definite and perfect
@@nicknickson3650 touché
In F minor)
I expected his voice to be a low, crushing rumble that obliterates all other noise
This is brilliant!
“Missing years in LA” = when Courtney gave him a room and financed his habit so that he would not talk to the media and investigators. Allegedly!
yes i agree
He was not a good person back then. He prob said he would talk kurts personal life if she didn't fund his drugs
I wish someone had asked him if they have any plans for the belladonna of sadness soundtrack earth did
When he laughs, he kinda sounds like Butthead.
The sound of his throat while breathing between a phrase and another 😊😋
Dad worked for the Department of Defense... wow. Anyone who's ever read David McGowan's work will know how creepy that is.
Enki Ea : weird scenes inside the canyon 👍
E-team from 9/11 were DOD & CIA, and operate out of Germany. Its also no coincicence cali dewitt does "art" exhibitions in Germany
Dylan is a true original and the quintessential pioneering musician that always pushes his artistic boundaries without compromise.
Sounds like you've listened to mark Lanegan's book
@@VanishedPNW
Such a wonderful book.
What happened to kurt, dylan?
Great feature. Dylan Thinks before he speaks
Dylan is an antidote to most of the actual fast and short living experiences zeitgeist is programming to be normal. That's kind a relief for me. His words are wisdom from earth itself 😅 imho
Excelente entrevista!!!gracias!!!
"some kind of atavistic bagpipe thing"
I thought i was wheezing listening to this on head phones. Freaked me out
Same.... Hahahaha
Strange thing is Dylan talks just like he did in 99. His speaking voice hasn't changed.....
Keep writing and make that quiet piece your talking about Dylan..We love your work boss!
This is the Earth i like.
This guy's the inspiration for Torgo in "Manos - Hands of Fate".
I love
Interesting guy.
and the music performance?
35:00 clear basic performance of Ouroboros is Broken
1:12:17 oooohh yeah
i'm in love with that girl.

He’s seen things man.
Yeah lots of dope.
@@alexpitilli3331 lmaoo 💀

What a wise guy.

Now I know why Earth is an instrumental band! ha
Nice
and the music?
Uff - his voice makes me want to use again. Hrrrhrrrrhrhhhhhhrhhrhrrrrr

1.25 playback isn’t quick enough, make it 1.5x
Watch 7:39 on .25x playback speed. Sickly, Carlson drone, lol.
Heroin addiction worked out well.
Majestic hair
Dude is 49, looking 89.
Good for him.
Koubiak wow!!! He totally looks at least 20 years older than 49. Sad
Laura Plant it’s only the beard. If he took it off he’d look 48.
Drugs
Heroin is the reason.
his hair looks amazing tho
damn, his wheeze is making me wheeze
Still on the gear
big bong
"could you rub some of this powder on my lips please"
ROTFL!
Naked Lunch
Naked lunch. Lee rubs powder on lips/anal of creature on table

Dylan predicts streaming concert future
anyone know what the tattoos mean?
Written in archaic:
top of left hand - "Who so beareth this signe about him, all spirits shall do him homage"
top of right hand - "Who so beareth this signe about him, let him feare no one but feare God"
Man I want to work with you guys at Red Bull. Why you no call Red Bull? Why you no call?
His wheezing is louder than his voice
Watching this at 0.75 speed is hilarious.
Come on dylan confess and get it off your chest...
so this is how aragorn looks like these days
We been waiting 30 years what really happened to kurt dude?
Has Dylan ever been quoting with saying what's behind the tattoos he has on his face??
Dylan's hair is thick as fuck and totally hater-proof
Ollie Bombard pantenne pro v my dude
I wanna know what RK stands for on his face.
Same, also the scorpion.
Remember Kurt
I don't know but his tats look like shit.
Rx for his drug addiction
Subtitulen estas entrevistas forros
One of the greats. Dylan rules.
San Francisco
Left it twitching by the road
Reverse Spinal Tap
This guy is like the James Randi of guitar-based music, thats at least how I see him as. I dont know why he looks and sounds so much older than he actually is though
Heroin then methadone
Dude looked just as been in the late 90s. Just look him up in the 98 kurt cobain doc
dude lived hard
It's called heroin,then rehab and methodone....repeat,then stay clean and try to live.
This interview is really only 7 minutes and 38 seconds long.
0:15 Dylan Kotzen?? 😂

Hanna Bächer
Must want to tell us something
senko san
Please watch the interview at 0.50 speed.
Did someone fart at 4:34 ?
wow ..crispin glover with a beard
C.O.P.D. in the house
CMQ lmao
he aged like 50 years in the past 20
Really he just grew a beard. He doesn't look that old
Hard living
He could have died decades ago, the drone/doom gods spared him
My god he got old ! wow
SimplyLimbo it’s just the beard
Doom.
Don't smoke kids
9:29 referring to Nirvana 😂
I almost did a spit take with my coffee when he started talking about Not wanting to make the same album over and over again...like uh what 🥴
This is a better interview at 1.25x speed
It really is
1.5 nuff said.
.5x is better actually hahaha. More fitting.
The presenter is just a super woman !!!
For real! I liked how she’d ask a question and sit back and let Dylan really explain himself so well! I liked all of the different topics!!!😎
Hanna Bacher, love her 🎙️🎛️
I would have problems doing a interview with her beauty too..... but with the amount of drugs Dylan has done over the years helps too.
When you mix smack and lsd..
rip Kurt Cobain
Minimalist music but maximum devil! 😈
Just cough bro get it out damn wheezing
He had severe bronchitis. I imagine it's been chronic since his drug years.
Department of defense huh ? Ok got it
RK= Remember Kurt
