- This was the last time I interviewed Anthony H Wilson in 2005 (despite the clapperboard saying 2004)after an interval of 25 years and I thought it a fitting tribute to his gobby, contentious, life affirming personality. I haven't edited beyond cutting it into youtube friendly ten minute chunks. Talking here about the next revolution in music and being an accidental entrepeneur.
As someone who knew Tony, can't tell you how much I miss him. He was a man of words who applied himself to his Motherland, Manchester (and Salford) and its music scene. He was a mouth piece and he knew it. My god could he bullshit and, again, he knew it AND everyone around him knew it AND LOVED him for it. He was indeed the 'accidental entrepreneur' because nobody saw Ian Curtis coming. Joy Division was a bit of a phenomenon. No one could have predicted that.
Thank god we have no need for these guys anymore, but there is no denying Tony was the right man at the right time and we are all the better for it. Just imagine the gems that got lost for ever in some skip just because there was no BBC associate to sniff the cultural relevance of it... lol :D
Question : Quel est votre métier Tony Wilson ?
Réponse : Tony Wilson.
Un mec qui répond ça a sacrément la classe. C'est d'ailleurs ce que nous devrions tous répondre... et nous ne serions plus jamais des esclaves !
Oui, Wilson était un mec excellent et libre !
Modern music owes a lot to Tony Wilson. RIP.
His prediction stands true; 2002 were pivotal years for Grime & Dubstep
Love you Tony, but Duran Duran fookin' rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Mr Wilson and much respect but Happy Mondays do not belong in any conversation with a New Order or The Smiths or Joy Division. Happy Mondays were god awful Nobody even plays their stuff anymore. Wilson was way off on that one
got his autograph when he played football in Liverpool.
Pop Idol happened in 2002. That sucked.
He got near the point didn't he when he said something will happen in british black r&b..well kind of....(amy whine-house) and this copy cat deal adel. A pale copy of female southern R&b being churned out by white british girls.
When you concider this mans legacy, joy divison, fac51, new order the mondays...such a legend he was. RIP Tony Wilson.
Like everything he,s made out to be a bad guy i fucking love you Tony thanks for these interviews . god bless ya
FAC 501.
thanks for the upload mate!! could you enhance or make the sound cleaner?. Don't take it as a negative, just as a suggestion!! Thanks again for the upload!!
Tony Wilson loved Liverpool
Massive charisma...
4:10, i feel i have to disagree with Tony here, there was a big explosion of garage rock revival in 2002, libertines etc. although not quite as important as punk a.h etc, still brought back guitars to pop music. (although the same thing happened again ,bands started to ape the initial bands e.g. pigeon detectives a cheap knockoff of indie)
we need the next explosion (its not dubstep folks)
ryanthomaskendall and then 13 years later after 2002, UK grime blows up in 2015, every 13 years 63, 76, 89, 02, 15 it's weird man
ryanthomaskendall we don't need music. There is enough of it already
Tony Wilson was a very kind person...
A great man. I named my son after him.
@89rodrigo Weirdly, the sound switches from the left channel to the right if you switch from 360p to 240p, and somehow it's easier to hear Tony.
What happened to Raw-T?
3 years today RIP
man of the people mate???????? This guy started a label for musicians for the first time the bands were making off the label and the label were making nothing!!!!!!!!! Educate yourself!!!!
Could someone from the production team not have gone out and tell that truckdriver who was trying to reverse for the whole ten ff minutes to take a hike and never come back?
@StefanGBucher that is weird . . . but it works! Thanks! Thought I was going deaf in me right ear . . .
Tony’s like a British version of my dad and I’m all here for it.
I knew tony for years an incredibly intelligent man
A proper manc
its a shame that there arent many younger managers who are like him nowadays
amazing man
loved him since Granada reports.
'Come on the Leister Massive...Fuck off'
Classic
@dannyhall87 totally - what a genius he was ;]
God, I wish there was a Tony Wilson in Melbourne. I would have loved to have heard Wilsons opinions on my music, and Factory as a label is my favorite in both philosophy and its attitude towards its artist.
I wish we had one up here in Glasgow as well.
56 63 77 89
both
bloody marvelous.
Chicago.
A true legend
i'd like to have met tony but, if he looked as though he was going to put a record on, i'd be off. the music he liked, i hate.
