Zach: If you sit through this interview I promise we'll get McDonald's... Flatlander: ... I wanna go in the ball pit. Steph: Me too. Zach: We're doing drive through. Flatlander and Steph: AWW C'MON!
I always love to watch death grips interviews. Zach Hill talks for like 10 minutes about how they all do it for the music and the experience of life, and then Stefan says "I hate people".
+Ooga Blooga zach is talking into the microphone talking about how much they love working with people then andy is like "lets not go on tour" and zach gets sad
Ooga Blooga ... Stefan is REALLY wishing he was B L A C K I E. this dude completely wishes he thought of this first but he didn't... to bad. now he's living with the burden of selling out with someone ELSE's style.
I wonder how Zach even managed to connect with these guys, befriend them, see their talent and decide that the two most silent people on the planet would be great at making the loudest hip-hop music in the world.
Has your mom ever talked to her friend for like 10 minutes while leaving the store and you and your brother wanna leave? This is what this interview feels like.
He's probably sober in this video. He's just shy and introverted. Believe it or not they do all their shows and public outings sober, aside from some beer and weed probably. They really only take drugs for the writing process
***** I remember reading somewhere DG being originally Zach and Stefan because apparently they lived in the same neighborhood. Then Flatlander said he wanted to be apart of it because of their sound, he said something about it being a representation of chaos or anger or some shit.
+~SeahorseMcGee~ ahahahaha i just realized that i heard the ambient outside noise was extra audible as he said it which indicates that that bit of audio was boosted. quiet people tend to make the loudest music!
What a introverted and deep group of people. Im extremely impressed. They make music that resonates with their fans inner selfs and feelings. Im sure there are many self hating, socially awkward and depressed people in this world which will resonate with this chaotic and destructive style of music. If it really helps listening to their creations, i really don't know...i guess I'm not that fucked up yet. No offense.
It's counter intuitive, but listening to Death Grips makes me feel happier. It's like my depression is a bag of sand that slowly gets filled with shit from my day to day. And then when I listen to their music MC Ride stabs the bag and let's it all flow out.
Andy has his priorities straight. Zack talks and talks and Andy just says "We also get to play really loud" and I feel like I know everything I need to know about him.
Death Grips would not be where they are today with these supposed 'meme gods', part of what set them apart initially was their willingness to embrace and be a part of internet culture
1:16 - 1:31 Very true, and not exactly a new sentiment, but for this particular band (especially after Zach talking about them being more reclusive and introverted people immediately beforehand) it really does apply to Death Grips in a huge way. Personal lives shouldn't matter outside of music, but the fact that they (Andy and Stefan in particular) go from very private, almost "shy," in everything the public has seen from them unrelated to music/art to this insane intensity, aggressiveness and no holds barred style in their music, live performances etc is a perfect example of what he's talking about.
well, RATM put hip hop at the service of rock and metal today, DG is putting electronic and all the amazing badass music of the last 20 years at the service of hip hop
...and on another note, couldn't help but think about what Zach says starting at 1:48 It's kinda depressing in retrospect, over 3 years later - with them being conscious of the representation of their group, not wanting to be misrepresented, being into visual arts...and the fact that in the 3 years since this interview their group has increasingly turned into a meme in the eyes of their "fanbase." '"Art" is for edgy try-hards and is meaningless so let's just shit on everything instead.' So much focus on the build-up to the second half of TPTB, so many memes (I fucking hate this word, but that's really what it boils down to) and almost all of it consisting of the same three words repeated over and over. Then the thing actually drops and within a day or two you see zero discussion of it at all. Even as recently as Government Plates and NOTM you didn't have that; people were talking about the actual MUSIC for months. Government Plates got a lukewarm to negative reception on release, but at least people talked about it and explained WHY they didn't like it. NOTM was a mixed bag in terms of initial reception, but there was still discussion of the actual music...though in that case it got disrupted by the "break-up" announcement a few weeks later which took priority, but still. Actual discussion about this band anywhere online VERY rapidly turns to shit more often than not because people have to derail everything to get those internet-cool-points and photoshop Stefan's head onto some random object or use some meme "ironically" and all actual discussion goes out the window. I truly cannot think of a band that has a worse case of this. Of course the memes and jokes were around in 2012 at the time of this interview as well, kind of the nature of the beast with an "unconventional" band that gained much of their initial fame via channels that are notorious for attracting a certain crowd (leaving that purposely vague), but it's turned from much more "laughing with them" to "laughing at them" from what I've seen, and not even for any good reason. Their summer tour sold out instantly. I honestly wonder what the upcoming tour will be like, assuming they show. They didn't have this kind of a "fanbase," or at least they weren't the majority, even during their last live show in summer 2013, so I wonder what it'll be like now. Hopefully the people who spout the same bullshit online at home stay at home. Having a group of teenage hipsters showing up at every date all dressed up, standing motionless, cross-armed, joking nonstop and shouting out memes in between songs would fucking suck. If this happens, bass drums need to be hurled at those responsible, not just at iMac monitors.
Just saw them in Lawrence Kansas last night, as soon as MC Ride yelled into the mic, the whole floor turned into a giant full body tug of war mosh pit where everyone was pushing and squeezing each other. I saw cannibal corpse years ago and I thought their pit was intense.....
went to a death grips concert in philly during the summer of 2015. sadly, I was surrounded by guys shouting memes. it was on going the entire time. it was still a phenomenal concert though. very surreal and powerful.
The thing I’m most curious about is like what do they look like when they’re just talking to each other? like they seem so closed off. Like I wish death grips went on a podcast like just once so we can see them interact as real humans. I guess that’s also part of the charm though. Their music is incredible and is really really different from anything else, and on top of that, these guys are also so reclusive. It’s such a mystery.
I feel ride is much more in the league of an artist who enjoys speaking through his art, music, whatever he makes, more than with his normal talking voice.
I think the reason andy sounds like his phrase is "edited" is because he probably wasn't mic'd up. I think they switched from a wired mic onto the cameras mic. Just a theory.
I love that this is called a Death Grips interview when it’s entirely just Zach Hill talking with Flatlander & Ride being there so it can qualify as a DG interview.
