  • (JOKE!!) Interview with Soundgarden by Alain Johannes & Natasha Schneider of the band Eleven. This was a spoof filmed on 26/3/96 as a promo item for the "Down on the Upside" album. I transferred this from an official A&M promo VHS tape. Part 2 of 2.
    The short clip at the very end is from a separate A&M promo VHS which I believe was played at a fan club members listening party for the new album.
    Apologies for the accasional watermark in the centre, that's what happens when you couldn't be arsed paying for editing software!!

    English isn’t my native language, and when i was a teenager i loved SG and i taped this from some network in cable tv knowing not that much english. I always thought it was so awkward. Funny thing is, given the language barrier it took me many years to realize this was kind of a mockumentary, and to notice who the interviewers really were 🤣 Brilliant 👌🏾

    Great references to other classic interviews. FYI: The "why has it to be so loud" part can of course be found in "Chris Cornell Interview @ Pinkpop '92" and for the string quartett issue and Alain's verdict at 7:40 search for "Interview with Pink Floyd 1967". Simply hilarious and funny in style.

    My wife walked in and asked me if it this was for real. I asked her why she’d doubt it. She said it reminded her of Mike Myers’ bit on SNL called “Sprockets”. That’s pretty dead-on, with that German accent saying, “Now iss der time on Sprockets when we dance!”

    I could see how part one of this video could be mistaken for a legit interview. It's feels a little more serious than this part. I think one of the big give aways was when Johannes says at 7:24 about the string quartet, "There could be improvisation, provided it was written down before hand" Jajajaja. too funny.

  • @bee5ify

    i like how he said frown garden and no one said anything. I bet the whole they were being interviewed they just wanted to say f you if you don't like our music. and then the guy went up at the end and turn up the guitar and kind of contradicted himself because it looked like he was having a good time up there.

    "Clearly she's not a musician".... Clearly you're an idiot.
    I despair for people who STILL don't get that this entire interview was a joke that the band was "in" on and probably thought up the idea themselves. The two "interviewers" are friends of the band and fellow (rock) musicians who collaborated with Cornell many times.
    If people keep leaving knuckle-dragging remarks, I'm gonna have to disable all comments.
    Thanks though to the people of intelligence who do realise that it's a joke! :)
