Jeff Buckley and his bassist, Mick Grøndahl, interviewed by VJ, Kennedy, at the MTV Studios in New York City, on 10 January 1995. Originally televised on 15 January 1995. In addition to this interview, Jeff and his band performed three songs on the MTV program, 120 Minutes. *Jeff Buckley - Grace | 120 Minutes | MTV | New York, 1/10/1995:* ua-cam.com/video/t9ObuKLT360/v-deo.html *Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye | 120 Minutes | MTV | New York, 1/10/1995:* ua-cam.com/video/tl0uN6aBqeQ/v-deo.html *Jeff Buckley - So Real | 120 Minutes | MTV | New York, 1/10/1995:* ua-cam.com/video/8Uznt9YFd8c/v-deo.html
Also ... I love the chemistry between Mick and Jeff. Jeff's affection and admiration for his band members was so obvious. As in many interviews, Jeff is a chameleon, waxing philosophically with a serious tone one minute ... and giggling like a schoolboy the next.
"I didn't want a transient situation. I had enough of those. I wanted to find an ultimate, at least one ultimate in my life, and somebody that I would meld with." wow that is so beautiful.
Jeff was straight and had girlfriends.. But Jeff was always an intimate person and I've read somewhere that he had a way of making a person feel like he/she was the most important thing in the world when he talked to them.
Yes, they do. I think he was also doing that because the interviewer wasn't doing her job properly and didn't involve Michael in the conversation and he's so laid back, he didn't jump in.
He was extremely impulsive, from what I've observed, and didn't always surround himself with the most positive people. I think Jeff was genuinely happy, at times, but there was always a certain amount of sadness in his heart.
You kind of described me. I am this joker many times like Jeff is sometimes in interviews, but I also write sad songs for the most part and have sadness in my heart anyway. One of the many reasons why I connect so well with Jeff.
Sony built a huge support network around Jeff when he recorded Grace but failed to do so when he started to work on my Sweetheart the Drunk. He was isolated, alone and unsure if he still had it in him, hence why he impulsively went off into the river that evening.
He looks like SUCH a baby in this, but he was just shy of my age now... I am eternally grateful for how cool my mother was to take me to see him play live. It was such a blessing.
Wow, that's so amazing you got to see him live when you were a kid! What an awesome mom you have! It sounds like you're about my age, so I'm guessing your birth year is also '84 or around then? I remember hearing "Last Goodbye" on the radio when I was going into fifth grade, and just melting when I heard those dreamy chords and that powerfully soulful voice. That was the song I was always hoping they would play next. And of course after I finally bought my old "Grace" CD I fell completely in love with his music. I can only imagine what an intensely beautiful experience it would've been to watch and hear him perform his songs in person back then!
I am mesmerised by Mick Grondahl. The way he looks at Jeff at 1.20, Jeff talks about moving around, and his mum. Mick seems to be totally listening, and totally caring, he seems so strong as well. Like a strong, solid rock. I'm glad they had such a strong bond. If the after-life exists, I hope Jeff plays up there with his idols. And I hope Mick, still being alive, has lots of fun playing with great musicians! The gay comments surprised me, it didn't cross my mind at all, I don't care if they were. I focus on the emotions, and they had a high regard for each other, and it really touched me.
Eternal life does exist and it is available to all, but it is only through Jesus that one can be granted this free gift. *John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.* As for heaven: what the Bible teaches is that it will be brought down to the new earth. God will come dwell with the redeemed in Christ on the new earth, as opposed to the saved living a disembodied existence in an immaterial realm (which is the common perception people have).
Sissi i don’t understand the whole gay comments, Jeff was known to be VERY straight, sleeping with many women. The thing with Jeff is that he was all about emotional connection, and a lot of people now a days don’t really understand what that looks like
God I love him. Everytime he speaks his mind, it's not just babble. He fills you up more than you can syphon, and that doesn't include listening to his songs, studio version or live. God I love him.
+Sue DeSimone my favorite part too... so sweet and innocent. I have an autographed photo of Jeff framed on my wall in be bedroom am I over the top? My hubby thinks soooooooooo, lol
i once said that whenever i hear jeff sing live and then talk softly at the end "he just ruined my life in the best way possible" and hearing him say "ruining their life for the better" made me smile
loved this!!! can see Mick's admiration for Jeff....and their closeness as a band....Jeff was so warm and silly....and playful. -he was so focused for the interview.....deep guy....so talented and was so highly critical of himself...perfectionist...
Mick seems nervous. I don't think he liked being interviewed. I used to see Jeff in Memphis back in the days. Trust me, he wasn't gay. He was a soft spoken dude but not gay. LMAO! He was friendly with everyone. But he was not in love with you just because he was nice to you. Know what I mean???
I had just gotten into his music about 3 mos before he died. When I heard about it, I thought someone was playing a practical joke. But then it is like a joke from the Universe. To have this "Minstrel" come into our lives like an old Renaissance Town, shake our spirit, make us feel again, and then he leaves us only with the memory of his visit, which we repeat for the rest of our lives. No artist has ever had that effect on me.So..I'm on a Jeff binge....again.
The little close giggle between them towards the end . Ugh, they were like school girls. I appreciate these outtakes because it gives us a preview of their dynamic as bandmates and best friends.
Yes he ruined our lives for the better because we will forever miss the beauty grace and simplicity of Jeff Buckley. I met very briefly back in the ‘60’s his exquisitely talented beautiful and vulnerable father Tim Buckley. The sadness and irony of losing these two souls so young is one of those cosmic mysteries like the big bang or dark matter, unfathomable and forever out of reach.
In our culture "straight" men don´t usually show affection to each others; but some do. And when some do; some "other women" see it as a sign of being gay... Is that really a tendency that we want to strengthen; meaning "straight guys don´t show affection"... I´d say enough of that attitude already - the world needs something else.
Yes, but it was a woman who made the remark, that made me react... But you are right, mainly it´s men. But some women are too, like BIG TIME-homophobic.
+nimim. Marko Mikkilä Birds of a feather, in the end. A friend of mine and I act like they do. We have an interesting dynamic. It attracts some very open-minded women and weeds out the disingenuous and conceited (of men and women).
I love how they look like a married couple here, with Mick looking adoringly at Jeff throughout the interview. And toward the end when they both look at each other, start giggling, and then Mick puts his hand on Jeff's leg and Jeff puts his hand on top of Mick's. hehe Good stuff!
theyre most likely glancing at each other and smiling a lot because theyre high, and thats what you do when youre high and in serious situations, not because theyre gay for eachother😂😂
Lol I don’t think they were just high, dude on the left looked mad thirsty yo... kept staring into his eyes, and straight up grabbed his leg at the end.
So adorable watching them giggle at each other "We're alternative". LOL Like they couldn't be more surprised to learn that. Whoever the Buckley fan is that posted this, thank you...sincerely appreciative of getting to see this.
On one interview Jeff said: "...I consist of water for 70 % and 35% of it is woman water...". He was delicate and vulnerable person and he admitted it..who cares if he was gay or straight. May be both. His charizma, talent and voice are absolutely genderless..or better to say universal (he liked this word))
One can’t be both gay and straight. That doesn’t make logical sense. What you mean to say is, bisexual. Jeff was was to ‘straight’ what a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonderbread is to ‘white.’
Pretty sure he was straight. That he had some femininity has nothing to do with his sexual orientation. In my opinion he was so secure about his sexuality, that's why he could make jokes like "he's handsome" without feeling insecure.
But the positive thing is that Jeff changed my life :) His music LITERALLY makes me happy. I forget all my feelings. I wish i could've seen him life, and if not, then in the afterlife. My biggest inspiration musically no doubt.
Thanks. I first saw him on Much Music, way back, sometime in the 90s. Then I remember watching the coverage of his death, on the same channel and they showed some clips from the Metro gig in Chicago and I thought his voice was pretty cool. I was only about to turn 14, so I just shrugged it off and didn't really care too much. His name always stuck in my head, though, and around maybe 2001 or so, I decided to look up his music. The instant I heard Dream Brother, I was hooked.
They were really a super group… Mick looked like he didn’t know how to play bass, and those guys are the best, such as a dude like Tim Leferbve per say. They just hold the bass In a way that they’ve mastered it in their own way. The way these guys played together and had a real band sound, it’s such a shame we didn’t get more of course. Such a good looking mid 90s rock band with rock gods. They need much more appreciation, but I know their appreciated by all the greats and so many super fans.
I found a video on youtube in which Mick plays the bass in 2009. He hasn't change ,always quiet and clever!! The video is "In the twilight-Michael Rajani Rehearsal". Love Jeff
"...makes my eyes sweat." I like your words! And that's a beautiful song. It was a (now old, then new) friend of mine who first introduced me to his music. He was sitting at the computer one day and showed me the music video for So Real and within the first five seconds I fell in love. He then played the Live in Chicago DVD and at that point I'm pretty sure I was floating around somewhere outside my physical body the whole time. It was a spiritual awakening. What about you?
I love what Jeff says about lyrics and their meanings. I never understand it when people argue over the "meanings" of artists' songs, poems, etc. As Jeff says, it's open to the interpretation of each individual, and doesn't need to be analyzed to death. I remember reading somewhere, quite a number of years ago, that he didn't like calling attention to his song lyrics, because -on their own- they sounded sort of ridiculous.
Good god. Anyone who really knows bands knows what the glances are about. Hell, I could see the reality of the interaction in this. It's pathetic how ppl filter things through ignorance of life.
Michael is also so gorgeous and cool. It's a pity the interviewer was terrible. She didn't even ask him any questions which is a pity and our loss as he's very intelligent. Why have him there f you aren't going to involve him in the interview? That's sort of rude actually. You can see that he doesn't mind and how relaxed he is and graceful. Beautiful smile too. They are like brothers in a way. Such harmony.
Maybe Jeff asked Mick to join him for company. The interviewer might not have known beforehand that Mick would accompany Jeff, therefore, he might not have prepared questions for the former.
@@MojoPin1983 even if that were the case, being that he was there the interviewer ought to have adapted. Any interviewer worth their salt would have been able to converse with both of them. It's not rocket science. It was really weird not even asking one question...and Jeff was doing his best to involve him. I don't think he was there just to keep him company and sit there in any case but to be part of the interview.
He wasn't bisexual. All the band members watched Jeff while they played together. Since they played each song differently, each time, they had to follow his queues, so they could back him up accordingly. He was their leader and they went where he took them.
I doubt Jeff was singularly 'straight'--everything about him defied boxes. What is so captivating and beautiful about his existence (besides his incredible talent) is that he seemed to be this THING---ambi-sexual/androgynous, soft/strong, masculine/feminine. a totally balanced mix, not One OR the Other. He was a one of the most sublime, Whole, Original BEINGS to ever have graced the planet (as far as we know). THAT'S what made him truly Unique and Special. He Was Real. Challenge for us all!!
What's all this about them being gay? From what I've read etc. Jeff is portrayed as straight, but even if he DID have same sex relationships...who gives a shit? The man was a heavenly creature, he can do what the hell he wants.
I guess the universe decided these guys are too beautiful and nice to be one of the greatest rock bands ever.. I mean really, they both seem almost too kind.
Lol are you kidding me? Jeff is my biggest inspiration ever, I absolutely adore him. I'm just telling what I read in a bio. I can't remember exactly who told that, but no matter what, it was from a celeb fan's point of view, and it was only ment as a compliment, really.
excellent answer willem. people expect you to be the same person they imagine they hear on the track or on the stage. truth is, artists do what they do because its what they have to do. sometimes the fire inside burns bright and sometimes it burns like a candle.
The act of suicide is deliberate and a conscious act. Doesn't manifest itself "unconsciously" - that shit is called an ACCIDENT. Not all of his lyrics are sad, either. He was a complex man, yeah, sure. Humans are complex creatures. He was obviously really impulsive too...
The world is a darker place for having lost this beautiful brilliant musician!!! “Just white boy guitar music, you know” 😱 Oh how I love you Jeff Buckley you were a true artist! Cheers
This is the only time I saw Jeff Buckley smoke, I did see him play once Wateloo records, Austin, Tx 1994 on a wim with a buddy who said he had heard of him and just for something to do. Jeff really was that and a bag of chips. Plenty of very sexy UT chicks some real hotties! I bought a promo and had him sign it, I still have it. He was a very far out dude. Yea Jeff was cool.. Miss him!
Apparently at least two video camera’s filmed this in-store promo. Do you know anything about this? flowersintime.org/show.php?gigid=189 If you’re on Facebook, I’d like to invite you to a secret Jeff Buckley page. Perhaps you can post a photo of your signed promo?
Idk, just from the interviews I've seen, and what I've read about him - he didn't seem like an unhappy, self-destructive guy that people insist on believing, and I don't think he was the type to front anything. Y'know? He was honest, straight forward, and FUNNY. But I agree with you, he wasn't all there... when it came to impulse control.
i started smoking because someone close to me died and i was constantly stressed and under pressure through work. It wasn't because its 'cool' in fact id try to cover up the fact i was doing it as it embarrassed me.
Don't you think it's strange that anyone intelligent, truthful, and with a voice dies young here? (Bill Hicks, Kurt Cobain, Frank Zappa (youngish) etc..)
@awishedforsong Mick looks that way and acted that way cause he couldn't believe he was actually playing bass in a band with one of the greatest singers of all time.
@TooleyPeter Ah, that isn’t Jeff. Why would you think it is? The men kissing each other were friends of Merri Cyr (Jeff’s friend/photographer that supplied visuals for the music video).
Jeff "learned" he was bipolar very shortly before he died. (I've never been clear as to whether he was actually professionally diagnosed as being so, or whether he kind of diagnosed himself... I'm thinking more the latter.) So you're correct on that. And I read through your experience with being bipolar yourself and can relate. Jeff has made a huge impact on me as well. It's still something that's almost always a constant battle, but he changed me for the better.

Jeff had a lovely speaking voice. I watch this to listen to his voice.
Mirtza Griffin like Streisand, Jeff's speaking voice is as lovely, and easy to listen to, as his singing voice... Love the soft "R's"...
watch to listen
me too
Also ... I love the chemistry between Mick and Jeff. Jeff's affection and admiration for his band members was so obvious. As in many interviews, Jeff is a chameleon, waxing philosophically with a serious tone one minute ... and giggling like a schoolboy the next.
"I didn't want a transient situation. I had enough of those. I wanted to find an ultimate, at least one ultimate in my life, and somebody that I would meld with." wow that is so beautiful.
Jeff was straight and had girlfriends.. But Jeff was always an intimate person and I've read somewhere that he had a way of making a person feel like he/she was the most important thing in the world when he talked to them.
Buckley had an amazing speaking voice, so calm, soothing, silky.
It's so cute how he keeps bringing up Mick they seemed to have a really sweet friendship.
Yes, they do. I think he was also doing that because the interviewer wasn't doing her job properly and didn't involve Michael in the conversation and he's so laid back, he didn't jump in.
He was extremely impulsive, from what I've observed, and didn't always surround himself with the most positive people. I think Jeff was genuinely happy, at times, but there was always a certain amount of sadness in his heart.

@@Consolous feel you 🖤
Thas exactly what i think of him
I think this is a poor assessment of Jeff who was highly intelligent, discerning and disliked negative people.
Sony built a huge support network around Jeff when he recorded Grace but failed to do so when he started to work on my Sweetheart the Drunk. He was isolated, alone and unsure if he still had it in him, hence why he impulsively went off into the river that evening.
He looks like SUCH a baby in this, but he was just shy of my age now... I am eternally grateful for how cool my mother was to take me to see him play live. It was such a blessing.
Wow, that's so amazing you got to see him live when you were a kid! What an awesome mom you have! It sounds like you're about my age, so I'm guessing your birth year is also '84 or around then?

@@TheSnowysealstudiosi don’t know it might be possible that they were joking maybe???? (emphasis on sleeping with a lot of women lol)
"Besides that he's very handsome." :)
amongst the lovely things about this interview is jeffs voice, so soft and calming it fucks me up
Smoking with a voice like he had is criminal.
Every natural heart carries a certain amount of sadness.
I miss Jeff.
I think about him everyday. 😢
God I love him. Everytime he speaks his mind, it's not just babble. He fills you up more than you can syphon, and that doesn't include listening to his songs, studio version or live. God I love him.
The end was the best- when they looked at eachother and giggled. ::swoon::

Those two, still a better love story than Twilight.

they both seem like such lovely people
i once said that whenever i hear jeff sing live and then talk softly at the end "he just ruined my life in the best way possible" and hearing him say "ruining their life for the better" made me smile
loved this!!! can see Mick's admiration for Jeff....and their closeness as a band....Jeff was so warm and silly....and playful. -he was so focused for the interview.....deep guy....so talented and was so highly critical of himself...perfectionist...

Yeah that's called gay.

90s: a place where people could smoke anywhere.
And not experience as much judgement
A place
light up
That was the last year of being able to smoke in Bars & Restaurants
Why would you want to bother others with your addiction though?
I had just gotten into his music about 3 mos before he died.

I just wish I was alive back then, to have gone to one of his shows. I just admire him so much, it's unreal.....How I wish He was still here

Whoever the Buckley fan is that posted this, thank you...sincerely appreciative of getting to see this.
@le th I believe that would be me. You’re welcome.
Couldn't have put it better myself. Perfect assessment. We are all unique, but he was inexplicable in his profound beauty.
Kennedy! She was always my favorite MTV VJ....
ohhh his interviews never get boring :) you could tell how much he didnt wanna say the last bit saying i am jeff buckley

Pretty sure he was straight. That he had some femininity has nothing to do with his sexual orientation. In my opinion he was so secure about his sexuality, that's why he could make jokes like "he's handsome" without feeling insecure.
There you go, he gives his old address in this video when he lived in LA:
1810 North Cherokee Avenue, Los Angeles!
i love how they stare at each other like an old couple
But the positive thing is that Jeff changed my life :) His music LITERALLY makes me happy. I forget all my feelings. I wish i could've seen him life, and if not, then in the afterlife. My biggest inspiration musically no doubt.

Every time that I fall in love it breaks my heart.

It's not rocket science. It was really weird not even asking one question...and Jeff was doing his best to involve him. I don't think he was there just to keep him company and sit there in any case but to be part of the interview.
He wasn't bisexual. All the band members watched Jeff while they played together. Since they played each song differently, each time, they had to follow his queues, so they could back him up accordingly. He was their leader and they went where he took them.
7:10: "Just typical white boy guitar rock". Wow
humble doesnt even begin to describe. lol.
jeff was such a beautiful person :(
Jeff be hiiiiigh
I doubt Jeff was singularly 'straight'--everything about him defied boxes. What is so captivating and beautiful about his existence (besides his incredible talent) is that he seemed to be this THING---ambi-sexual/androgynous, soft/strong, masculine/feminine. a totally balanced mix, not One OR the Other. He was a one of the most sublime, Whole, Original BEINGS to ever have graced the planet (as far as we know). THAT'S what made him truly Unique and Special. He Was Real. Challenge for us all!!
Gender benders F off
What's all this about them being gay? From what I've read etc. Jeff is portrayed as straight, but even if he DID have same sex relationships...who gives a shit? The man was a heavenly creature, he can do what the hell he wants.
12:54 aw, look at them. thanks for the upload!!
Mick Grøndahl is very beautiful.
He’s a handsome guy.
I guess the universe decided these guys are too beautiful and nice to be one of the greatest rock bands ever..
I mean really, they both seem almost too kind.
"It's a moveable feast. We'll see what happens next year."
Right on the nuggets
What?
MojoPin1983 listen, genius
This interview was in 1995, he passed in 1997... If that's what you meant with the first comment
I can't help but imagine being the meat in that handsome sandwich.
Lol are you kidding me? Jeff is my biggest inspiration ever, I absolutely adore him. I'm just telling what I read in a bio. I can't remember exactly who told that, but no matter what, it was from a celeb fan's point of view, and it was only ment as a compliment, really.
"smoking after sex" :')
awesome!!! thanks for posting this video. So cute!! *_*
excellent answer willem. people expect you to be the same person they imagine they hear on the track or on the stage. truth is, artists do what they do because its what they have to do. sometimes the fire inside burns bright and sometimes it burns like a candle.
"Besides that he's very handsome" )ºuº(
12.54 di una tenerezza unica!! adoro la sua risata "hihihihi" :-D
The act of suicide is deliberate and a conscious act. Doesn't manifest itself "unconsciously" - that shit is called an ACCIDENT. Not all of his lyrics are sad, either. He was a complex man, yeah, sure. Humans are complex creatures. He was obviously really impulsive too...
His disdain for the machine is everything.
12:55 That's so cute. I totally got an flirty wibe between the two
I love the end when they laugh. So cute
he was so hot smoking like that omg
The world is a darker place for having lost this beautiful brilliant musician!!! “Just white boy guitar music, you know” 😱 Oh how I love you Jeff Buckley you were a true artist!
Cheers
ммм... басист так любуется Джеффом все интервью))
Amazing vid! I wanted to see this for ages. Thanks for posting! :)
*Guy walks to fix mic and jeff feels arms* Ooh I want one of those XD this guy is a legend
Things have a way of coming back to us at the right time; when we're ready for them. :)
This is the only time I saw Jeff Buckley smoke, I did see him play once Wateloo records, Austin, Tx 1994 on a wim with a buddy who said he had heard of him and just for something to do. Jeff really was that and a bag of chips. Plenty of very sexy UT chicks some real hotties! I bought a promo and had him sign it, I still have it. He was a very far out dude. Yea Jeff was cool.. Miss him!
Apparently at least two video camera’s filmed this in-store promo. Do you know anything about this?

If you’re on Facebook, I’d like to invite you to a secret Jeff Buckley page. Perhaps you can post a photo of your signed promo?
You can find it on youtube and the recording of it is on Grace as well.
I love JB! Is it me, or does it seem like he's on 'something'?
Cocaine :) go Jeff!
Idk, just from the interviews I've seen, and what I've read about him - he didn't seem like an unhappy, self-destructive guy that people insist on believing, and I don't think he was the type to front anything. Y'know? He was honest, straight forward, and FUNNY. But I agree with you, he wasn't all there... when it came to impulse control.
I just died towards the end.
Ha, that's cool; you're very lucky to have met him.
i started smoking because someone close to me died and i was constantly stressed and under pressure through work. It wasn't because its 'cool' in fact id try to cover up the fact i was doing it as it embarrassed me.
My favorite 2 :)
Don't you think it's strange that anyone intelligent, truthful, and with a voice dies young here? (Bill Hicks, Kurt Cobain, Frank Zappa (youngish) etc..)
Mick Grøndahl is adorable
@awishedforsong Mick looks that way and acted that way cause he couldn't believe he was actually playing bass in a band with one of the greatest singers of all time.
i thank you now!!! what were they laughing about? so adorable!!!
Definitely more than friends.
Cut the nonsense. Jeff wasn’t gay.
@@MojoPin1983 He's kissing a man's face in the Last Goodbye video. It's not subtle.
@TooleyPeter Ah, that isn’t Jeff. Why would you think it is? The men kissing each other were friends of Merri Cyr (Jeff’s friend/photographer that supplied visuals for the music video).
@@MojoPin1983 Ah, righto. Friend of a friend. Got it. ;)
Definitely not.
He was awesome and we miss him. End of the story.
Jeff "learned" he was bipolar very shortly before he died. (I've never been clear as to whether he was actually professionally diagnosed as being so, or whether he kind of diagnosed himself... I'm thinking more the latter.) So you're correct on that. And I read through your experience with being bipolar yourself and can relate. Jeff has made a huge impact on me as well. It's still something that's almost always a constant battle, but he changed me for the better.
Who told you that bullshit.
