Charlie is so hilariously serious here.

Very underrated band.

All hail general boy!!!

I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s in Cleveland oh and was a major devo fan. They really helped me through adolescence. My friends and I went to the local library to find the mothersbaugh phone number in the white pages for Akron. We called the number and Bob was so kind to talk to us teenagers when we would call occasionally. He was so sweet and seemed happy to talk to us. In 88 when devo came to town we were short one ticket and they invited us to come to the house to get the extra ticket. Mom and dad were there and Bob 1 was sitting on the living room couch warming up for the show (he did not talk to us though)

i love DEVO more than I can say. The guiding light of my adolescence, and beyond. omg charlie is so square and lifeless

I bet a hundred bucks that half of the views on this video are from me.

Suburban robots that monitor reality.

Amazing how Mark's head looks more darwinianly evolved than most humans, even though Devo's theory, sorry, truth, is not related to Darwin's theory, to me Mark is a genius

I remember listening to "shrivel Up" in 1978 with friends and just laughing, they were crazy and totally unique

Charlie, lighten up < lol>. By the way, if you go exploring for DEVO find their concert that they played on French TV, they take no prisoners with their blistering set, simply amazing. So yes, there are the videos, but never overlook their musicianship.

Choose mutations with very low half-life. Got it.

On shows like this they came off as a cult. Americans were spooked, and the “Whip It” video was scary. Way ahead of their time. Bravo, Akron!

Thank god for him

I met the band and got my Duty Now album signed by them back in 1980 or so. It was a promotion at a record store, and there were maybe ten people there! Crazy quiet. I still have the vinyl!

What an amazing dude

Thank You. This is my new fondest memory.

Thanks for posting this.

Dr. Byrthfood, DEVO, and no no no - not just computers. The COMMODORE-AMIGA. ❤

Had no idea General was Mark's father!

This interview is so creepy and awkward.

marks just chillin

Jerry is my cyber guru.

Jerry should consider a reboot of smartpatrol with the newer technology should come close o the vision.

Their early guitar heavier sound was my favorite.

Wrong Devo. Men die first because they want to…

Recovering DEVO talk show interview addict here! Just kidding I'm not recovering.

Now it can be told!

Charlie Rose isn't much older than Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh but he was decades behind here, and the brilliance of Casale and Mothersbaugh seemed to whoosh right over his head. IT'S ART, Charlie.

I was 12 when I saw them the first time. It was my first concert. New Traditionalist tour. Amazing live show, Mark gives 120% at every performance back then. Now he just does 105% because he's understandably an older fellow. But when he got up on stage with Massive Hot Dog Recall last weekend he was belting it out pretty good.

Too bad about the crappy video quality, but it's better seeing it than not. I assume this is form the Smart Patrol video game? I'm driving back from Devotional 2022 in Cleveland, and ?Mark and Jerry had nothing but bad things to say about that whole experience. Though Mark was circumspect saying some of the fault lay with themselves for piling on too many ideas.

it was 1984

He was correct about technology.

It's funny how the VJ gave a long narrative whereas Spotify had a submenu with a quarter of the information.

Pls Mark Not Whip My Face 0:00 if you look to me 😳 .. that’s a Nice interview I like 🥰🥰

Devo Rules always have all ways will

The Complete Truth about De-evolution, 1993 laser disc, track 20, R U Experienced a $90,000 video of the band playing floating blobs of wax in a lava lamp with help from Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius & Chuck Arroff "DEVO regrets that 'R U Experienced?' is not included in the DVD program. The current executors of the Jimi Hendrix estate were determined to prove to us the old adage - 'To seek permission is to seek denial'

*DEVO = FASCIST CLOWNS* 👍👍👍

*the DE-EVOLUTION begins HERE*

Devo is amazing

WRONG--- "debu" means fat, not "debo". デブというのは太った人ですね。"チビ、デブ、ブス“ means "devolved America".....

RONALD REAGAN WAS RONALD MCDONALD TO ME ALSO LOL

Very likable fella.

Mark is adorable! I saw them play the Coach House in 1989. Really small venue. Seen them 6 or 7 times since, most recently 9/25/21 at the CZcams Theater in LA. LOVE DEVO!!!!
