I met Graham Chapman when he came to our college to promote "The Meaning of Life" in 1982. While the hall was full it was not packed as I suppose Monty Python fans made up most of the crowd. Chapman gave us what we wanted with lots of stories about his fellow Pythons, George Harrison & of course Keith Moon. After the talk I easily made my way over to him, introduced myself and he described to me and others standing around what it was like to visit Harrison's Friar Park. Very affable guy!
Alice Cooper has some great stories when Keith stayed with him, and his wife .While he was in California We need a Keith moon movie , Its been so overdue .
A Keith Moon movie? could you imagine how awful that would be? For a start, it would need financing... so that means it would have to MAKE money when its eventually released. That means a "star of today" would have to play him. I tread to thin who that would be!! And it would have to contain gags... im feeling sick just thinking about it
I've heard some of those stories! One I think was about Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees, who lived near Alice, seeing Alice's wife driving past at a high rate of speed, screaming, and a stark naked Keith was holding on to the roof of the car.
Many years ago I obtained a copy of Chapman's Autobiography Of A Liar . I set it aside and forgot about it for over a year . Eventually I remembered it and read it . On the day that I finished reading it , Chapman died ......
So much for Johnny Depp using Keith Richards as an inspiration for Jack Sparrow. Seems Graham Chapman spotted the likeness of pirates and the wild men of rock 'n roll of those many years before.
There was the time Keith arrived at Ollie's place in a helicopter, Reed on the roof naked and pointing a shotgun at it until Keith landed and alighted with two gorgeous girls
Ollie and Moonie, two rancantours, two British boozers, two talented hellraisers. I'd have given anything to have downed some 'bevvies', with those two.
RIP Graham Chapman (January 8, 1941 - October 4, 1989), aged 48 And RIP Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 - September 7, 1978), aged 32 You both will be remembered as legends
Graham wasn't tortured, he just got cancer and it killed him. I suppose he was probably challenged by being a homosexual at a time when it was still illegal to be so
@@jefferyroy2566 🙄Gay men never had it so good, especially ones of such fortunate economic and social position as Chapman. Anyway, there's nothing really unusual about a tortured life. What's unusual is one that's not at all tortured. So try dropping the stance of being aggrieved on others' behalf. It doesn't impress people, it irritates them.
One of England's truely funny eccentric Wildmen was Keith!! Many outragous stories exist about his time living in chertsey which we know he truely loved !!
I usually watch videos at 2x speed....but not Graham...the mans every expression and voice lilt are worth savoring. What an entertaining chap. Miss him.....
this is probably the most accurate description, he was a mess, he accidentally killed his driver body guard once, personally I think he killed himself ua-cam.com/video/aBZSFCyp9DQ/v-deo.html

If some day during my lifetime someone invents time travel, I would go back to 1962, when The Beatles released their first album, to witness the whole 60s and 70s rock era, the moon landing, Woodstock, as well as the Pythons revolutionary comedy.
There was so much drugs and booze, that if you time traveled back, you'd be in a haze and forget where you came from. You'd be trapped forever. Probably die prematurely. Then, there'd be no future to go back to and your time travel would be so messed up. Probably explode the universe. We'd all be screwed.
@@mikearchibald744 the monologues in Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas explain why that is nowhere near the same thing as being there. As misguided as the ideas were, I suppose there must have been something magical about being alive and young at that time.
i like graham's nonchalant way of telling the story, yep, looked to see if keith had met his demise, no sign of it so i waited for him... makes you wonder how many times keith moon defied death in his short life.
never seen it or knew it existed. fantastic knowing that there's another film out there connected to the pythons. i just discovered jabbawocky last month!!
One of the many things I liked about Keith Moon was his posh accent. He was more working class than Roger Daltrey but decided that sounding posh was much more fun.
his posh accent was an affectation. The Who had a manager, Kit Lambert, who was posh, so Moon copied his accent. Moon sounded quite cockney when he wasn't putting it on. Wembley boy.
I watched "The Meaning of Life" again a few weeks ago. After all these years, the silent and hilarious humor of a certain scene... Chapman, a gay man, being chased to his death by a bevy of beautiful topless young women. Genius. Pure genius.
I used to assume that the Pythons wrote as a group, but actually, Eric was just a wee bit of an outsider, and wrote alone. Terry and Michael wrote together, and John and Graham wrote together. John talks about his love hate relationship with Graham. He was extremely exasperating to work with because of his alcoholism.
Moon traversed a 6 inch ledge 15 stories high, to commit burglary of a mere bottle of gin. Risked his life for a bottle that he could have taken an elevator down to get. That's rock n roll
Throw Oliver Reed in this tandem and you get Infernal Trio. Not even you would survive till evening, but you would be damned for all eternity afterwards
I’ve just read a comment by someone asking if anyone had heard the story of Keith Moon visiting Oliver reed in a helicopter. I have and it’s Crazy. Keith and the helicopter pilot were circling around for a landing near ether Keith’s residence or Oliver’s place, as they were circling around Oliver Reed was on the rooftop of the house with a shotgun shooting at the helicopter. This story I heard from Keith’s personal assistant who was also with them at the time and he also mentioned that the pilot crapped himself ( literally). I’ve been looking for the documentary that story was explained, but it seems to have vanished. Keith’s pa also mentioned that was the final straw for him to help Keith and he had to leave because he said that one day one of us is going to die and it’s not going to be me. He said it with real sadness cause he really cared for Keith, but just couldn’t take it anymore.. I also have to mention, that when Oiler Reed was shooting at the helicopter Keith was laughing his socks off.
Yeh - and even more mental....Moon n Reed had never met before....then after trying to kill him with a shotgun - when they disembarked from the helicopter and when Reed realised who it was - they quickly embraced and were inseparable up until Moon passed away...
Keith Moon and Vivian Stanshall (Bonzo's) used to get up to tricks together. In one, the latter would walk along, say, Oxford St. dressed as a Priest. Moon would pull up in his Rolls, jump out and proceed to 'beat up' the priest, to the consternation of passers-by. All just good fun a la Moon - that's how I heard it in any case. May be apocryphal.
it's interesting how all of the surviving Python's all agree that they never really felt like they ever knew who Graham was. They all maintain he was a brilliant, lovely guy, but they never really felt they ever got to know him. Gilliam in particular, mused : "Graham....what to make of Graham? I have no idea."
I was surprised to hear John Cleese talk about working with Graham and not knowing that he was a Alcoholic. That went on for quite sometime according to Cleese.
I like your Nesmith avatar. I also kinda had a crush on Chapman back when I watched all the Python re-runs. I didn't even watch The Monkees until 1986, when they had the re-runs marathon on MTV.
..they were both related thru their Royal-masonic connections ...hardly surprising ..millions of people on planet ..-yet same related families are on our TV screens all the time ....
England/Scotland is not a "small island". If many British celebrities know each other it's because they all live or have lived in the same huge city known as London.
Like when James Taylor was sat in an apartment across from the Dakota and joked over the phone "You think it's bad there I've just heard the cops shoot someone" (he'd just heard John Lennon being murdered)
I'm so disappointed that the television did not get thrown out of the window! Which just goes to show how attractive a bit of iconoclasm is (unless you keep an hotel, of course).
I would have loved to have seen a drinking contest between Keith Moon & Andre the Giant. I've read how much both could drink at any given time. Andre could do over 100 drinks, Keith was unmatched by anyone he met. Maybe a drinking contest between them would have killed one of them though.
@@TheAnxietyCloset I tend to agree with you. You just know Keith would have passed out trying to win it. Andre would have been just mildly drunk by then.
Am I the only one who felt tremendous anxiety while imagining someone crawling along a ledge on the side of a building 14 stories up? Even though I knew he'd be okay? Maybe it's just me.
Moon was insane at times. I mean, not only soused but out of his mind. I remember when he died-- just 32. Such a waste. It’s tragic he didn’t get the right medicine to at temper his bipolar tendencies
very funny dude. even the way he articulates when he speaks and the way he tells stories, he WAS a comedy writer. and a damn fucking good one at that. and keith moon. the eccentric psychopath who was the last person you'd ever expect to be one of the best fucking drummers to grace that stale monotonous genre of music known as early 60s rocknroll and gave it a real kick in the balls. R.I.P.
hehe, I quote Yellowbeard all the time... "Where s my pirating outfit?" "Do the boy good to get some senseless violence in his life" and of course..."Stagger stagger crawl stagger roll stagger" (wonder if Graham drinking made that improv.)
In the 60s/70s/80s rockers, movie stars and loonies like Python hung out a lot in the same bars - it was quite a small scene really, just a few hundred nutcases. Great times!
I miss seeing Graham grow old and how much he would have written and produced. The world was very diminished by his early exit.
tobacco and alcohol can be thanked for that. But maybe they had something to do with his genuis...
I love this story so much! And Graham too, may he rest in peace, wherever he is.
Maybe he should’ve tried to help Keith. Back then nobody gave a shit
