    Thats my artwork he's holding at 7:14 !!! He said he liked the fact that I added his moles as its what gives him his specific identity.

    I adore him as a musician but even more I admire him as a person. Even if I've never met him you can tell when someone's honest

    The fact that Paul works on music after his concerts to "wind down" shows his extreme commitment to his craft, he is a true artist to the core.

    Watching this never gets old. Watching someone who loves music that much is always inspiring. I don't even know how many years I've been a fan but it's been close to half my life. I think I was around 22 when they first hit the scene. I'm almost 46 and I still get goosebumps when I hear him sing live. I hope to see him or Interpol one more time.

    This is a great video- more emotion than I've seen out of Paul in all the (up-till-now) Interpol years combined. He has a great personality, it's cool to see him open up a bit and smile. The part I appreciated most was when he said composing music, without a deadline, makes him as happy as anything. And how he wanted the fans to know he took it all seriously. I think that's one of the reasons his (and Interpol's) fans are so loyal, his/their rare artistic integrity.

  • @ethemaras84
    @ethemaras84 12 років тому +37

    It is sort of rude, Interpol is a part of his life, and there is a fine line. I'm sure he doesn't mind talking about Interpol a bit, it's inevitable, just give his solo career the respect it deserves, and make the conversation mostly about his new solo album.

    I have only love and support for Paul and all of his musical projects , he's very down to earth and cares deeply about his creative endeavors as well as the people involved. I think that he's a great example for people that don't have a hold on their pride and ego. Every interview I've seen with him proves it.
    A great person , a great musician , full stop.

    Paul, mostly fron 6,35 to 7,24, looks like anybody who passed on the street and is thrown in the middle of that performance. Its normalcy is disconcerting and wonderful at the same time. Thanks for being so Paul!

    I also have to add that NWA were really big with goths in the early 90s and no one really knows that so I get where Paul is coming from with that love. I use to roll with my really hardcore goth mates blasting Straight Outta and that confused a LOT of people. I can't really explain it, I suppose it's just angry outsider energy.
