I'm sure I'm not the only one coming back to this one to pay their respects to the incredible Albini. RIP Steve
nope...RIP
Here for the same reason. I hope he's never forgotten.
checking in
One of a kind audio visionary.
WHAT
steve albini talks like he's being quizzed by a lawyer in court
How else would you respond when confronted by this real life cartoon character?
“I don’t recall the circumstances.”
"I agree"
@blake bishop booo!
“Quizzed” yeah that’s the word
"I'm a prick"
"...Okay"
and at that moment a new comedy duo was born
me too lol
Me three
I’m just an asshole.
Who’s the prick? Steve or narduar
It's a weird thing to watch Nardwuar with an actual adult
Deadpan lol i kno what u mean
he's not taking the bait
nas snoop ice cube henry rollins ect
It'[s is weird to see Nardwuar act mature here.
@@GoldenPoopD Steve Albini famously made an incredibly angry punk song loudly making a statement against pedophilia and placing sexual abusers of children as the lowest of humanity
I love how Nardwuar is so much more respectful and toned down when interviewing Steve. He knows his audience.
Adam Judge Sounds like he got a cold too
Idk, he doesn’t seem too toned down, Steve also has a very perverse and deeply funny (imo) sense of humor so it would be surprising if he would react poorly
And not bring up BB
oh yeah dude, even more so when he interviewed the hardest working man in showbiz. To the point where Mr Brown repeatedly insisted calling him by his first name. Lol
@@fmbighair Mr. Brown’s people told Nard to refer to Mr. Brown as such
Holy shit he got Steve Albini to laugh, truly the GOAT
Twice!
6:17
6:57
Yeah, Albini always seemed like a pissed off Eddie Deezen in the old days
@@jt1929 8:22
Damn Steve Albini was definitely conceived as a 2 minute standard missionary position baby.
This might be in my top 5 for CZcams comments
You’re a pontificating fool….
Lmao
😂
golden comment, real
The man recorded like half of my favorite albums. Hope he loved his life as much I loved the music he produced.
Beautiful comment ❤
I was shocked when Nardwuar suggested that Kurt came up with all of what were clearly Albini's suggestions that Kurt then wrote down. Obviously that was coming out of a mind with intense knowledge of recording specifics.
He was obsessed with CP and had deep, dark problems. Dude was a completely disturbing individual.
@@111whitepony111 Whatever.
He gave me the impression that he did
Steve Albini, arguably one of the most articulate interview subjects Nardwuar has interviewed, on why he doesn't like MDC: "They were stupid and bad."
MDC kinda does suck, and I'm from Texas.
i gave mdc a straight up honest chance and they just suck at making music
I get their appeal but they bore me. It was funny discovering Albini doesn't like them tho
@@movimentodoscacos rapeman sucks tho too
“John Wayne Was a Nazi” is the only MDC song I really ever liked and I don’t even necessarily agree with the song title (don’t know shit about John Wayne) but that bass line is soo sick and I love how the tempo keeps increasing. Other then that MDC is eh. From what few other songs by them I listened to anyways.
>And doot doola doot doo...
>...i agree
klassic Steve
Me, an intellectual:
I'm surprised Nardwuar didn't insist lol
Came back here to say rest in peace you beautiful human being.
Steve Albini is so grammatically correct that its oppressive
Your dum
I would love to see him and Desiigner in the same room
he makes tonnes of grammatical mistakes
Cragnog, nah you're just an idiot.
He is so well spoken!!!
steve is cool and not patronizing or rude to nardwuar = steve albini is cool in my books
It's a mark of intelligence when people love Nardwuar & comply with his importunate demands to be the informational subject.
Honestly Albini seems like a great guy with very strong opinions on several subjects, which is why he's often seen as an asshole.
@@movimentodoscacos Insecure people hate guys like Steve 🤷♂️
@@CreeplessOfficial Yes, just read all the butt-hurt ignorant right-wing chuds coming out of the woodwork these days.
Albini talks in autocorrect lmao
I was trying to think of a way Albini talks, that's perfect
Most underrated rapper in the game
Steve albini is not rapper
@@Octavious7834 it was a joke, Einstein
@@booradley6673 😂😂
@@Octavious7834 yes he is. He records under the name "playboi carti"
Steve Albini is the Noam Chomsky of punk music with the same uncanny cadence and everything.
for better or for worst
Was actually just thinking this
oh yeah. now you mention it
@@socialistsuccubus822better or worse*
"Everything you're saying is true."
“I believe you”
I had to come back to this after hearing of Albini's death. I'll always love his response of "I'm... doing my best." He did his best and was one of the best.
"Hello, I'm George Martin!"
"I'm a prick"
"ok..."
"Lemmings"
*visible confusion*
Easily one of the most influential people in music history, this Nardwuar recognition is long overdue
more than mozart?
Candy Cane yes
You sound nuts
wireside Widebrow no offense but y’all steve albini devotees overrate him I like him but it’s not wagner lol
haha seriously! "one of the most influential people in music history", (eyeroll) think about that for one second...
Steve Albini is my favourite rapper
wet hole i agree
oh yeah. his new mix tape, "The Rise and Fall of Yung Albini" is straight fire
I seriously think that the Lungs EP reminds me a lot of Terminator X in certain songs
The album 'Songs About Fucking' by Rapeman is dope.
not sure if ur taking the piss or not but that's a Big Black album. Rapeman was his band after BB & before Shellac.
"im doing my best.."
Thanks Steve❤
💔
He really did. RIP Steve.
He more than lived up to that comment. RIP Steve 🤍
🖤🖤🖤
More punk rock interviews please, Mr. Nardwuar
truly the Noam Chomsky of alternative rock
Sacchan oh my god I didn’t even think of that they talk exactly the same
Good ear!
I’m pretty certain I coined this phrase “pats self on back”
No, more like the Walter Cronkite (Steve was a journalism major).
...and Mike Watt is Howard Zinn.
I agree.
I believe you.
im a prick
everything you said was true
okay
LMFAO i didnt understand all of the "I Agree" comments until I saw the very end. that was actually priceless
Rest in power, Steve! We lost one of the greats.
Rest in Peace, Steve Albini 😢
Steve Albini is notorious for being prickly and asocial, but here he seems super amicable. I get kind of a "dad talking about the garage band he was in as a teenager vibe" from him, even though it was actually multiple bands on top of all the groups he recorded with.
No. But in reality he didn't remember anything until reminded & only spoke a few seconds per stab
Two legends in one video
"That's a deep cut, as some people would say. I wouldn't normally say that but I feel it's kind of appropriate here"
lol
That shit was really funny 🤣
I agree.
Im going to repeat that as soon as i possibly can while replacing the phrase "deep cut" with some other phrase that is more apropos to the situation. Will NOT return with details of how that goes over with the boys, PLEASE dont ask. I respect my family's privacy, THANK YOU.
@@the_original_Bilb_Ono So what happened?
@@the_original_Bilb_Ono 😂😂😂
yes i love this interview so much, it's just good to see Nardwuar going back to interviewing people he personally looks up to, rather than artists who are new to the game; you can see the OG fanboy Nardwuar come out in this interview once again, i missed this side of Nardwuar very much, he's a rocker at heart
This + the last one with Ian MacKaye are the best.
RIP Steve. The Music is sad now.
"They're still in the game, you gotta give'em that"
Steve's eyes alone say "No I don't"
Steve Albini is a relentlessly unsilly man. Nardwuar is not.
Have you seen a shellac show? Dude is funny as fuck.
@@IAmTheBestMang He seems like a "no nonsense" type of guy on the surface, but he's probably just not easily amused (which is a good thing). I'd wager there's a great sense of humor that comes out when it's appropriate, and he laughs when things are funny.
I know that sounds retarded, but try listening to any podcast, or CZcams video. Unfortunately, people will literally laugh after almost every sentence. It's not only obnoxious, but you'll usually find that absolutely nothing funny was said the entire time! I don't know about you, but I find it exhausting to be around people who don't speak their minds, but even if they did they'd have nothing interesting to say. Just polite small talk, plastic smiles, and courtesy laughter as not to offend you. ...but that has absolutely nothing to do with Albini, I just rant from time to time. Sorry.
Hence the lovely contrast/synergy you idiot.
Lots of humor with both. Steve’s was relentlessly dry, Nardwuar is a living cartoon character. Said with lots of respect to both.
Steve Albini is too cool to remember things.
I imagine there is a lot he would rather be kept secret, do not meet your heros
Their personalities are kind of perfect together.
I hope you not implying that Nardwaur is a nonce?
Would have made for an interesting road movie with this odd couple
Lol
RIP the noise rock GOAT
👍
This is one of my favorite Nard interviews. Steve's brutal honesty and straightforwardness mixed with Nardwuar's charm somehow works so well together. I would love another interview with them one day, even though it seems like Nard blew most of his load with "Albini-info" here. Still so great
Rest in peace Steve Albini 1962-2024
The “Mr. Producer” notes. Were Kurt’s notes on recording The Melvin’s.
That actually makes the hole cut in the tom make sense now...
I love this guy's production! He's so straightforward too. I'm sure he has a cult of people who appreciate how chill he is while contrasting the monstrous sound he provides.
I'm part of the albini cult
Ok, but how can you make drinking poisonous Kool-Aid SOUND??
the maturity in this interview is unmatched
Steve is like Kurt Cobain if he graduated from MIT
i disagree but they were both intellectual enough kurt cobain had an iq of nearly 150 but dropped out of high school.
@@masterskeletor662 THAT'S the true scourge. Genius on welfare.
Kurdt did not have a 150 IQ or anywhere near it. You think a 150 IQ would make such relationship choices? He was probably 112. @@masterskeletor662
real
This is gonna be iconic
Edit: “I agree.”
Scott Reilly Im George Martin
This guy Steve has really mastered the art of accurate thinking.
You just knew he'd see past the shtick yet still respect it. Class.
I imagine that’s what makes him a great engineer.
Man this is so sad. Steve Albini has passed away at 61. This dude did so much for music and was a genuine guy. His authenticity shines through in his work. R.I.P to a legend 😭
Nardwuar going hard as usual I see.
seriously. his nardness was off the charts this interview.
He's the man.
Nard "Stay Hard" Ward
Complete fucking legend.
Steve is a legend. Those smiles when he's gifted stuff he genuinely appreciates.
There's something subtly intimidating about this guy
Linkous he’s ur father
He's very smart, very serious and entirely humourless.
@@adamimberti6948 I think he's got an awesome sense of humor lol. It's just dry as fuck.
He doesn't give a fuck, that's it
Kind of like he knows how to remove your organs
RIP. Thanks Nardwuar.
still cant believe hes gone
Same. He produced/recorded so many albums I adore. This is such a major loss for the music community.
I think the reason why Nardwuar brought out the best in Steve Albini is because he is the antithesis of a typical interviewer. He is high energy, but he does his research and never asks a generic question.
Shit, the end of this interview hit me hard. "I'm doing my best."
"I'm doing my best" he has done far more.
Steve letting in all hang out, emotions on the sleeve as usual
Smiled and everything.
Thank you for everything, Steve.
Some of these incredibly dry moments are making me laugh so fucking hard hahaha. Steve takes deadpan to a whole new level.
I once met Steve while touring with my brother's band in Spain (they were friends back in the early 90's) and he was actually really funny and nice, the only thing I found odd/funny was that his tour manager told us to "Please don't drink around him, he hates drunk people". So we ended up having dinner together in a nice little bistro and my brother and him were talking music and just shooting the shit, I took out my camera to snap a picture and he saw it and I gotta say... alongside being one of the best producers ever, dude knows his stuff when it comes down to photography as well.
His capacity for being humble is criminally under-appreciated in the modern world..don’t tell us how good you are, show us how excellent you are. His ending bit was truly awesome.
"don’t tell us how good you are, show us how excellent you are" Don't go around talking like this. Just a heads up.
Steve Albini produced PJ Harvey's Rid of Me, Nirvana's In Utero, & Weedeater's Jason... The Dragon.
Steve Albini is an absolutely legendary producer as far as I'm concerned.
Ocean Sage don’t forget surfer Rosa by the pixies
And all of Big Black's and Shellac's, which he was a part of.
Yeah, I haven't got around to Big Black yet, but the Shellac I have sounds nice. His lauding of vinyl over everything else is too narrow minded for me, but vinyl does sound good for expressing Albini's methods.
Shaun Pearson I recommend easing into Big Black. Start with the Bulldozer EP. The rest is down the rabbit hole.
Jawbreaker, Superchunk and Screaming Females
Nardwuar vs Matt Pike
Nardwuar vs King Gizzard
Nardwuar vs Mike Patton
Make it happen
Narwuar vs Stevie Wonder
"explain to the people what we have here"
Brennan Dalgleish a nardwuar mike patton interview would either be normal or something like nardwuars eric andre interview
PLEASE MIKE PATTON
please Matt Pike, please
He already did King gizz i think
he's very rational, you can't bullshit him
lmfao Nardwuar: I'm a prick.
Steve: ...Okay.
Rest In Peace Steve. Thank you for all the amazing records.
Big Black are an underrated band. Also the Gene Simmons story is pretty funny because during an interview he pretty much said how he hates grudge music as far to call grudge artists a bunch of "lumberjacks" and in another interview he said no iconic bands came out of the 1990's.
ツ H m m m m N i c e B i k e ツ as if kiss was an iconic band outside of being the most marketed thing in music ever
*grunge
Didn’t the Melvins tour with kiss?
@@jlobiafra Yes they did, Gene really liked Buzz and the band actually!
Nardwuar vs. Michael Gira
Update: Turns out he did interview Gira back in 2012 on his radio podcast...
A unstoppable force vs a immovable object
It would either go amazingly or it would end with Nard dead.
it happened. check his website. no video, only audio
Its a good interview tbh. Gira was impressed by nards knowledge
"there was an arab boy in my cell that was raped by the guards every night. and that really haunted me"
....
"michael gira, what part do cookies play in the swans?"
it’s amazing that the frontman of big black is so eloquent
how did i just now see this.
Steve Albini is a legend
YOOOO literally a couple of days ago my audio engineering teacher told us to research this guy!
thx nardwuar
Isaac Calabrese why didn’t u already know about him as an engineer
You must have a brilliant teacher. Enjoy.
Steve Albini seems like an ok guy.
This is one of the only times I've seen either of these men this calm
albini almost has kind of a Nick Offerman thing going these days
R.I.P. Steve. Big loss today. Bloody legend!
fuck, i watched this like 10 hours ago and i just got hit by the news now...rest in power Mr. Albini
I adore Steve Albini ❤ he MADE the early nineties and is easily the most ethical engineer/producer in the game. He has chilled, but other than that he hasn't changed one bit.
No, not ethical, he openly enjoys child pornography, and praises its creators. Especially in the 90's when he wrote for Pure Magazine and praised the usage of child pornography on the cover
I'm a Raider fan. For the first half of the video I thought, "oh, so Albini's pretty down to Earth. Likes football and my favorite team."@@plyjhny
so happy this came up in my feed. RIP and thank you Nardwuar
If I could do my life over I'd try to stay on a path to become a man like steve albini. what a disciplined, intelligent, talented, humble, and so on. and so on. you know.
Legendary cool dude
Rest in Peace
What a legend, he’s literally punk incarnate. wish he was my dad lol
Yeh, he's so punk, he dont care what anyone think. That's why he praises CP
@@plyjhnygonna need a source on that one.
edit-nvm. anyone who continually supports peter sotos deserves hell.
Hearing that Steve had passed away was devastating. He seemed like an amazing, wise and friendly person with more knowledge than anyone else when it came to recording. What a humble genius. We lost one of the best recording engineers ever.
I love how everybody loses in any way to Nardwuar, yet somehow I knew Steve Albini couldn't be beaten, you can see his personality in all the bands he helped. He is so serious yet so respectful to Nardwuar that he doesn't "lose" to him lol, great interview
"loses" how?
Mr. Albini, Rest In POWER
Steve did great on Nirvana's In Utero such a great album,great interview Nardwuar.
RIP Steve Albini! Your genius, humbleness, and 'All in a day's work' mentality will never be forgotten.
Ugh. What a loss. What a GOAT.
RIP Steve.
“I’m a prick......”
“Ok”
Brilliant, deadpan response.
Steve albini is aging into noam chomsky
lynn pehrson I was sitting here thinking “who does this guy remind me of..” baboom! You nailed it
'I agree'
We won't be getting bearded Steve 😢
Wow, it’s amazing to see Steve smile and even laugh! Such a prepared interview, fantastic!
Albini is such a legend. Completely immune to anyone's charms.
I love steve albini
Alright Mr. Albini, this police interview will be over shortly just a few more questions
rest in peace to this absolute legend
It's a weird thing to watch Steve Albini smile...he's a very serious dude. Congrats Nardwuar!
RIP Steve
Always cool to see nardwar make folks smile especially someone like albini
“Doot dooda loot doot...”
‘I agree.’
"There are some notes for recording"
"I agree"
lmao
