I don’t find it disturbing at all..! He is simply answering the questions he’s been asked in a considered & honest way. Very lucid & coherent - doesn’t seem high at all. He’s so dreamy ❤
He’s naturally a very shy guy, although his speaking voice has considerably deepened since this interview. I think he looks younger than 30 here a bit, at times he looks 16 or 17 here.
it's painful to see him in such condition. this whole interview gives a feeling of total emotional emptiness. the spark in his eyes is lost and he's left with a blank look, which is so uncommon for him. i don't know if drugs have something to do with it, but it amazes me how a person in such state of mind can still put so much meaning in his words.
it’s not his song (i think it’s the best off the album, though), but you’re totally right. he has a very mid-range speaking voice, and a great vocal range in his singing.
However, he has gotten better over these past few years. Whenever he’s with someone he knows well, he’s much more relaxed. And to be fair, this was only a few years into his bad seed days.
This is hard to watch, you can see his dependence seeping through. Maybe it's true that drugs are really good for creativity since they recorded some of the best Bad Seeds albuns in that time, but this is still disturbing to watch.
Phoenix Zappa ..guffaw.. I second and concur. the >profundity< exhausts me. 'cliche' on you, 'cliche' on us all. And you should really cover your mouth when you cliche, you're spreading germs..
What happened to Caveys voice between '88 and '93? Seems like his voice was lowered by an octave... Maybe this is earlier than '88? Also, he seems way more innocent here in the way he deals with interviews. Without a mask, so to speak
Cave poo-poos Bukowski, but it’s funny how much they have in common. When I listen to Cave interviews I often hear things that remind me of Bukowski. Like his points about filmmaking, reminds me of Bukowski’s novel Hollywood, comments Buk made about his experience with the movie Barfly. Also reminds me of David Lynch’s experience.
Sounds a bit like him at times too, minus the accent. The difference is is that Earl is far more outgoing and willing to be interviewed than his old man is.
nick is so junked out here, very glad he made it out alive and healthy, he cant go more than five seconds without scratching at his face, I've been there! no good
Alexander Laurence Are you on crack? He had women spilled across his world. What an odd comment. Like saying Johnny Cash, Shane Magowan or Iggy Pop weren't attractive to others.... Come on!
@@Jekyl99999 It takes a special kind of idiot to make a statement without justifying what he's claiming or to negate something without argument or justification. Name me ONE good poem where the language is "ready-made".
Christ! You can hear the heroin in his voice and manner. The collapsed, lazy larynx. Too relaxed. But a brilliant mind nonetheless. I feel bad for saying this. Hey ho.
What??? You are a Smack expert I take it. Wow...how does a person post something about someone on that level... not knowing or having a clue who this man is??
Still Mick G. you fucking BOZO...It doesn't change the Fact that you do (not) know or have a clue who this man was or is....CLOWN. Would your statement stand up in Court?? No it would (not) Mick G. Stop playing God and work your 2nd step of the 12 steps.Wishing you all the best in the New Year.
Me....Having said all that....you could be right Mick G. But still my question is...why feel the need to post something that comes off like making a judgement on ones character. How would you want to be treated? Even you yourself said..."I feel bad for saying this." But yet the need to go on with it?? Dude, never mind. I will probably never get you. I'm ok with that. Sorry for the Bozo and Clown remarks. I'm coming off as no better than. I'm being a BOZO! Ha!Ha! Ha! Cheers!!
Ron Twyman I've been listening to Cave since 83, I've followed him on tour four times, his albums have essentially been the soundtrack to my life. Even though I have never met him, I do understand some of the lyrics in a way others can't for obvious reasons. There are references which non addicts simply will not get. Much in the same way that a bereaved parent might get the Skeleton Tree lyrics in a way I can't, again.... For obvious reasons. Heroin relaxes the larynx unnaturally. Which is why addicts have that 'droney, lazy' way of speaking. Listen to him today and it's different. Why has this got to you SO much...?
Is it what drugs are doing to him or rather the lack of them? He sounds and looks like he were just discharged from a rehab. That special combination of softness, lack of confidence and absent-mindedness...
@@teodelfuego I do know exactly where you are coming from... and heading to. Trying to define/call things by their names is almost abusive because only simpletons (and psychologists) are the ones who need guideliness, don't they?
Like Pickled Gherkins on a Big Mac, none of this matters to Mr Cave.

if you really take the time to listen it is very apparent that this guy had something as far as money,connections,whatever to make his "underground spooky art"if this interview was the reason he was so famous so early then I am right if not if i am wrong then I challenge any nick cave fan to send me an "amazing" song by him at the same time this video was conducted.something deep,interesting,and real something that lives up to nick cave and if you cant find it its time to become an ariel pinkfan
Songs from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds released up until 1988 include Cabin Fever, From Her To Eternity, Tupelo, Sad Waters, The Carny, Stranger Than Kindness, Jack's Shadow, Long Time Man, The Mercy Seat, Up Jumped The Devil and Deanna. So take your pick, there's more than enough amazing songs go choose from
he gave me the best cuddle back in 1996...my knees buckled
jealous
Really?
He does look like he gives nice hugs ngl
Awww baby Cave
He looks way younger than the 31 he would've been in 1988..
Sami Hayes hahahah baby Nick Cave. Btw he looks exactly like his son Earl does now.
I know, right? Sweet, sweet, Nick...
@@PunchiesManifesto Rock'n'roll makes you stay young for long. (If you survive of course).
He looked very young here and I don't know why, look at the 1987 documentary where he looks 10 years older
I don’t find it disturbing at all..! He is simply answering the questions he’s been asked in a considered & honest way. Very lucid & coherent - doesn’t seem high at all. He’s so dreamy ❤
That is an artist who deeply believes in his own illusion ,he feels it so true he xan be confidently obtuse about it...exactly what you would want!!!
Just the most incredible person I have ever seen.
Honest and amazing with words
"What do you mean truth in cliches?" LMAO Nick looks at camera and glares LMAO!
"Did he actually ask that stupid question ?"
So true. He is looking at the camera seemingly saying "Here we go..."
I look at him, this young 31 age man, and I'm thinking about all the things he will achieve, create, lose, ... . Pretty amazing...
He’s naturally a very shy guy, although his speaking voice has considerably deepened since this interview.
I think he looks younger than 30 here a bit, at times he looks 16 or 17 here.
Its always nice to hear someone smart among the ocean of plunder
Nice turn of phrase

well done with that analysis mrs margo! sendin love
Well he sounds depressed and overworked and exploited and that's what he said he was so ...
His heroin addiction was really bad at this time.
@@AnnaLVajda who explotied him. I didn't understand who "those guys" were
He’s a pretty shy guy as you can tell here.
But to watch this at the height of his drug use… thank god he’s cleaned up.
When i think of all these years from The Birthday Party til now... It's been a fantastic journey with this artist! Makes me happy to be here.
How can that voice sing Avalanche, and that album was 5 years before this
it’s not his song (i think it’s the best off the album, though), but you’re totally right. he has a very mid-range speaking voice, and a great vocal range in his singing.
this is ASMR Nick Cave ahahah, love him
I like how he says “Rock n roll OR music”.
such a BABE
What an unbelievably endearing, well - bred and composed young man. Anything wrong with him? Should I feel alarmed? Concerned? ;)
Beautiful man-Nick Cave
Every interview I’ve seen Nick always seems annoyed lol. He has to be one of those artists that can stand Press or interviews and rightfully so.
However, he has gotten better over these past few years. Whenever he’s with someone he knows well, he’s much more relaxed. And to be fair, this was only a few years into his bad seed days.
You are right, he said in his documentary that he hates interviews.
0:37 that look hahaha :P
That glare at 3:44 is everything 😁
I first met Nick Cave in 1979.80 when I was a student. He played in a pub off Victoria Street Fitzroy. He gave Kyle Minogue Street cred.
I feel for him. I've never been able to grow decent sideburns either.
my favorite Nick Cave interview :)
This is hard to watch, you can see his dependence seeping through. Maybe it's true that drugs are really good for creativity since they recorded some of the best Bad Seeds albuns in that time, but this is still disturbing to watch.
Lucas Garibaldi how do you mean? seeping through....?
if you read anything about the creation of tender prey, you can see that it was hard to even get it together.
albuns-who s on drugs?
He looks ok here ... Aside from the horrible horrible nicotine addiction.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwww 12 year old nick :P
DAMN he looked young.
this is painful he is cooler now
Ah welcome to fan slapfighting
Hahahahaha so old now. Not cooler lol
@@slimturnpike 😂
his hair style here makes him look reeeeeeally young
listen to the whole Tender Prey album. listen to it several times. Then re-evaluate the ignorance of your comment.
He's so hot ughh
He’s off his fucking rocker in this video, yet still speaks so much truth
I dunno-his pupils are the normal size...
He doesn’t seem high to me, and I should know
Nick can get it 💜💜😍😍
What do you mean that there's a lot of truth in cliche? Haha... what a look. Dumb question
or just a dumb idea to begin with.. he obviously didn't have a coherent answer.
Machete Moonlight
A cliche is a cliche because it's so part of the mainstream culture that it becomes part of our everyday reality or... the truth.
Scott M wow. Profound
Phoenix Zappa ..guffaw.. I second and concur. the >profundity< exhausts me. 'cliche' on you, 'cliche' on us all. And you should really cover your mouth when you cliche, you're spreading germs..

is the film hes speaking of "Ghosts... of the Civil Dead"???
Bill Lawlor yes
0:35 - Nick regresses to his 16 year old self.
He also looks a bit younger than 31 here…maybe a bit like 19 or something I dunno.
I can also tell that he’s a bit shy.
I'AM THE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!
looks so much like Earl!
Sounds a bit like him at times too, minus the accent.
The difference is is that Earl is far more outgoing and willing to be interviewed than his old man is.
nick is so junked out here, very glad he made it out alive and healthy, he cant go more than five seconds without scratching at his face, I've been there! no good
No one has made a comment about the movie he was in. It was an Australian film I belive.
Ghosts... of the Civil Dead
Hot.
***** Eww that name.
***** Yo name, be ugly as shit, Do you even know who I AAAAAMMMMMMMM?
Nick 💚❤️💚
So bright
Earl is a copy of him
You never seen me)
O Nick cave morou no Brazil.....
Is Rowland S. Howard interviewing him? It kind of sounds like him.
Does anyone know when EXACTLY in 1988 this interview got recorded?
Was this interview done by Rowland?
Maybe Mick Harvey?
150% Rowland
He is a honey!
You’r a honey,honey bunny🐰
nobody thought he was good looking back then
+Alexander Laurence I did....
i did
Alexander Laurence Are you on crack? He had women spilled across his world. What an odd comment. Like saying Johnny Cash, Shane Magowan or Iggy Pop weren't attractive to others.... Come on!
I think he's gorgeous.
Right, Shane MacGowan has always been a hottie. 😬
Shivers- Boys Next Door. If you still think he's shit after that, your opinion is invalid and we (the NC family) don't care what you have to say.
he didn't write that song, Rowland did, in his previous band the Young Charlatans. frankly, as much as i love nick, i think he butchered it,
mjl he said Rowland S Howard did it better. I agree
Was he snorting something at around 6:55?
Not Rowland interviewing, sounds like an older chap
I'm going to make so many people angry but he does look a bit like ariel pink. Maybe it's just me.
This comment has aged even worse lmfao
Does anyone know if Nick is part aboriginal?
Inverted cliches may be of value - which is what he means, presumably. All ready-made language is the enemy of poetry.
poetry is ready-made language, you fool
@@Jekyl99999 It takes a special kind of idiot to make a statement without justifying what he's claiming or to negate something without argument or justification. Name me ONE good poem where the language is "ready-made".
Poetry has no enemies. It’s a non-combatant that renders aid to all in need

Ghosts of the civil dead.
