Blixa wasn’t at all a difficult interview partner. Especially not during the 80s. Considering the questions he’s being asked, he is patient, kind, considerate and making an effort to get through the interview.
I think you can add subtitles through some community tools? Idk. Either way I would appreciate if you would write them in the comments in case it doesn’t work out :)
I am pretty sure there exists a translation of this to English, I'll ask one of my Spanish speaking friends to take a look at it. disculpe por favor, no habla español...

Translation from Seele Brennt blog: Blixa: You are listening to and watching Off Beat, Tele5. My name is Blixa Bargeld. Int: Blixa, you did this marvellous campaing for us once and we now have a surprise for you. The first time we distributed 1.000 marks and today it’s 25.000 marks. Do you feel like doing it? Blixa: Yes. 25.000. [Translator: I can’t understand him] Int: I think so too. [Translator: Something else, I can’t understand it, either.] Blixa: [???] Int: [???] but it’s not much work. We’ll do it soon. Tell me, what image does Einstürzende Neubauten have, do you know? Blixa: You’re the one who has to tell me that. Not the other way around. Int: Do you know? Blixa: No. Int: People say you are totally diabolical, scary, sinister and totally unpredictable. Is this what you wanted? Blixa: Yes, it’s what we wanted. Int: You don’t want to explore that? Blixa: No, but you have to tell me what the effect is. I can’t tell you that. Int: I thought you could familiarize us with it… Blixa: Our impact is different according to the regions. Int: Is that so? Blixa: Yes. Int: Berlin and Munich, different reactions? Or is it broader than cities? Blixa: Maybe. It’s hard for me to assess our image. Int: I watched the Neubauten in Munich and I was very impressed… Blixa: Shaken [smiles] Int: Shaken to my core Blixa: Deeply moved [smiles] Int: Very deeply moved… Blixa: Good [smiles and smokes] Int: But you have changed a lot. I want to be very careful with my words, but it sounded almost a bit like pop music. Blixa: Maybe something else changed. Int: You mean, I changed? Blixa: No, not you. But maybe the music. Int: Has something changed, concept wise? Blixa: No, concept wise, nothing has changed. Int: Absolutely nothing? Blixa: No. Concept wise, nothing has changed. Int: When you’re on stage, you give the impression that you become someone else, above everything. Is it like an orgasm on stage? Blixa: Ummm… [smiles] Int: Or something similar? Blixa: Usually it is good when I lose control. Int: So, you deliberately lose control? Blixa: At least, I try to deliberately lose control, yes. Int: And do you know how it was, afterwards? Blixa: No, I don’t know. I mean, it’s good that I don’t know how it was. Int: You can’t remember anymore? Blixa: No, it has nothing to do with being able to remember it. It’s just something that happens in a different space. Int: And how do you come back from this different space? Blixa: On my own volition. Int: Completely? Blixa: Yes. Int: I heard an interview where you talked about the origin of your texts: you said you just started to sing and to formulate something and that more or less developed into words. Has that principle changed? Blixa: The principle has changed. Because… I have this ability, to just improvise and sing. And that changed, because I now actually write stuff down. And then I improvise as well [laughs] Int: You have a book coming out. Blixa: Yes, a book is coming out. Int: When did you prepare it? When is it coming out? What’s it about? Blixa: I prepared it within the past year. Int: When will it be out? Blixa: I hope it comes out still this year. It’s ready to be printed and they said it should be ready in 14 days. And then we’re ready to publish. Int: I can’t imagine that you really sat down and wrote a book! Blixa: That was not the case. We just gathered some of my texts. Int: You have a collection and searched for some texts… Blixa: My collection is unreadable, but they actually managed to read through and put it as texts. And now I have to look at that and choose what I think should be left over and what not. I started with that. But it was not enough, I had to find more. Int: You have a lot of success in Japan. Not only there, but also. Do you think that has something to do with mentality? That the Japanese understand you better? Blixa: I have no idea. I’ve already thought about that, but… It’s still not clear to me why we have so much success there. Int: Is this love mutual? Do you like it there? Blixa: Yes, it’s mutual.

Lange gesucht. Hatte ich damals auf VHS; ich konnte fast mitsprechen. 😊 Vielen Dank!

Die Fragen sind so doof.
YESS NEW VIDEO I LOVE THIS 🤩
I'M SO GLAD
How would I be able to supply subtitles? I'm a native German speaker and okay enough with English to help out, I think!
I think you can add subtitles through some community tools? Idk. Either way I would appreciate if you would write them in the comments in case it doesn’t work out :)
Or try to reach to the author of the channel.
Blixa wasn't, isn't and will never be an easy interview-partner :D
I agree with user Avalon Archer. I believe he was amicable and cooperative.
Quatsch.
Sub español?
I am pretty sure there exists a translation of this to English, I'll ask one of my Spanish speaking friends to take a look at it.
