1:55 to 2:05 is likely the most brutally honest answer any musician has ever given to that sort of question. It takes the interviewer by surprise, as he's probably never had any of these modern day sycophantic 'musicians' not suck up to the music press like their life depends on it. Bernard, still doing things his way, nobody else's. What a absolute legend.
he's talking sense - all radio stations in the UK do have tunnel vision - especially Absolute! Try listening to their breakfast show in the morning and NOT hearing U2 or Kings of Leon. Where's the room for new music?
Wow in 3 minutes Ive heard him open up more about his songwrting procees than ever and Ive seen most of the stuff on YT with Bernard and his Manchester ilk ..
is that ellie goulding? nice to see her and bernard in the same image. basically the most modern icon of electronic dance music with an icon of the earliest electronic dance music.
@Teasle586 No Bernard's lady is real beauty. That was Hooky, You know those brits love to dress like women every now and then. Bernard' remains one of the greatest singers in the world. Check out the songs he mentioned working on.
I love Bernard, he's so effing cool. No B.S., tells it like it is.
Much respect to Bernard..
bernard sumner sums up modern music and pop culture in a few minutes. genius of a bloke.

Good old Barney - proper fellow Salford lad through and through, tells it like it is. Good man.
Legend!
very frank ! putting the radio man in front of his own responsabilities well done !

nice one ..... bernard tells it like it is !
I like Barney , He's ace.
at least bernard is honest on how he feels and doesn't hold back...

yeah..one a true creative and pioneer, the other a cheesy ass bimbo with no talent. how "nice".
:( I went to go listen to the colab he did with Digitalism, but it turns out it wasn't released.
:O he collaborated with digitalism!? sick as!
Sumner compromises, and shows everyone respect.
No disrespect to Bernard, but he really greyed. Nothing wrong with that, at least he is not hiding his age.
Still very cute though 😊❤
this interviewer was pretty bad. He had Bernie in a talkative mood and blew it with lame questions. Seems like he didn't know anything about him.
that seems to happens more often than not.

He looks like William Shatner ffs.
But the young William Shatner was not as handsome as Bernard Sumner when he was a young lad, don't you think!?
Great guy. Only one year later, he would stick it to Hooky by reforming New Order, without telling him.
