Couldn’t have said it any better G
agreed
Kevin's mention of having difficulty finishing something in one sitting without getting up and doing something else, really hits deep with me. That is one of the things I've struggled with as a musician for so many years.
"If I consciously decide that I want to write a song, you can pretty much guarantee that it will be one of the shittiest songs I've ever written"
this dude Rubin talking through a playground talk tube
lmFao
😂
Bruh stop 😂
This dude Rubin 😂😂 funny way to refer one of the greatest music producers ever
I haven’t laughed out loud in a long time holy shit
listening to Kevin talk about being a kid and talking about his influences and idols is funny to me as a 15 year old, he my idol. I got into making music alone because of him. my 3 friends and I started jamming as a band because of him. I can't really put in words the love and respect I have for this man. I wish he could see this comment himself because I think it would make him smile and realize how much of an influence and role model he is for young musicians like myself. much love Kevin.
I started at 15 inspired by music I loved, and I know you’re not asking for advice, but if you love it, go hard. Make the most of your time by becoming an expert in YOUR style. And share your sound with the world, they want to hear it.
it's crazy cause your comment was the reason i started writing comments. before i always used to watch the video and scroll to the comments, but felt like i could never be one of the people contributing to the conversation. but seeing your comment at the top of a rick rubin x kevin parker video 3 years later made me realise that anyone can make a difference in this world. much love scrappy
Being honest, at the beggining it kinda sounds like Rick doesn´t know that much about Kevin, but during the whole conversation he gets more interested in Tame Impala´s recording and creative process so much that in the end Rick ends up inviting him to listen music together. Fucking cool, they are both gods of the music industry.
i know asking about his father in present tense when he literally has a song in TSR called "posthumous" forgiveness and his questions were pretty general, seems like he didn't do his research which is a shame
@@Alexis-zl9kw Have you listened to any of Rick's other interviews? He always talks like this.
Alexis Seam I’m a pretty big Tame Impala fan and I had no idea his dad had passed. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Rick to not be aware of that. This podcast isn’t really the type to have a lot of pre-research. It’s very casual
Depending on ones interview style, research doesn't need to be considered a prerequisite for every single piece or conversation. Sometimes, especially with a unique cat like Rick, just an organically flowing conversation is great.
Tame impala is only great for currents. Note the questioning
Hearing them talking about 'Californication' just made me realize that the album artwork stylish and font, must have some influence on Kevin's album covers...
Holy shit🤯
oh shit!
Damn Kevin is a real one he made sure to put his people on
He made sure to pave the way for Jay, Dom and the rest of his crew from Perth
Lesson in Rock to take care of your day ones
The homiesss

That’s why I’m unapologetic about supporting Kevin. He deserves all the success he has and then some.
Kevin's got like 12 compressors on this
Always a name check for Dungen. Credit where credit is due
Kevin Parker has like 3 song to his dead father and Rubin ask him if his father still remember the song that Keving was looking for... that was a bad start, let’s listen the rest
I burst out laughing
Yea, that kinda ruined the vibe for me. Made me feel like this dude didn't know anything about KP and was just asking basic questions.
You know what. After having listened to the whole thing. I feel like I judged it too early. The interview went pretty in-depth into KP's writing process. It was enjoyable.
You can hear Rick shit his pants as soon as kevin answers the question
Rick seems like a smart and good guy but it is strange he wouldn't know this, thought it was common knowledge that Posthumous Forgiveness was about his dad, so many reviews mentioned it etc.
If Slow Rush doesn’t sweep every major music award I’ll be highly disappointed. This was a quarantine classic which is perfect for the state of mind we were all placed in unexpectedly. Kevin is the best of this generation. He’s on that Kanye ‘10-‘15 run... that Pharrell 2000 til infinity run, that Quincy Jones making Thriller at 50, young Axel Rose... when it’s said and done he may be the greatest ever
Absolutely, he’ll be known for the past decade and this one as probably the best pop musician.
Well said. He really is a modern genius and his songs are instant classics. People will look back at his music for inspiration just like we do for the Beatles or Led Zeppelin
Slow rush is definitely my least favorite album of his but it still has 2 or 3 songs I really like.
Well said
lol read again after a year. Yikes
Rick's questions, and his interviewing technique, are a clinic. Another of Rick's many skills. Parker's song "Yes I'm Changing" was my intro to Tame Impala and it often fills me an insane optimism, the kind like you're flying high and tomorrow could be a long way down, but today there's hope swirling in the blue clear sky, and the view is to die for.
It’d be better if there was just a few more ads
bro- but I learned if u want to lose belly fat, stop doing cardio.
@@mejohn101 i thought for a moment that you were being metaphorical but then i realized that you were talking about an ad
@@MrBreadisawesome It sounds way better as a metaphor tho
Surprisingly I got no ads on this video
It'd be better if AdBlock was a thing yet .. if only Back To The Future was real life :/
How messy he describes his process makes me feel so validated! But I agree that having better discipline is key tho
I always appreciate when interviewers let Kev talk. He's a endless well knowledge, greatful to hear somone letting him speak his mind.
BRUH THE JUSTIFIED DOC IS SO LEGENDARY LITERALLY INSPIRES ME
Hearing Kevin talking about how he thought he was going to make it by 16-17 lol makes me laugh. I’m 17 right now and when I first started music about 2 years I thought I’d be the biggest thing in the world by now. I’ve come very far but have so far to go. Really gives me comfort to know that I was the only one who thought that way. Everybody’s journey is different. Thanks Kevin hope to meet one day🙏🏾
Keep it up, man. Hopefully you can get to whenever you dream for, and say hi to Kevin for me!
Ps. Ask him where he buys his sandals
Damn these dudes transcend music and delved into life’s empathy… in a podcast
Wow, so cool to hear about how Kevin’s great albums come together. I love the idea that inspiration comes in that quiet after something loud, or that it comes to him in fragments that he then connects.
I think ive listened to this interview 10x already so inspiring
This was a really good interview - it went more and more in the right direction
Great interview. I love Kevin revealing more about the actual recording process
Kevin "You know what I mean?" Parker
Very lame
Kevin "best musician in the last 20 years" Parker
“Like” 😅
Thanks for this interview I enjoy very much Tame also I admire Rick's job
The fact that he admites that Walk in the Park inspired one of his songs! ❤❤
I think the song could be "Feels like we only go backwards", what do you think ?
Loved the little recordings, super "kill your timid notion"
This is so inspiring…I can relate to his talk about the creative process! He inspires me to keep going with my solo project. Amazing..😊
All this love for the chair
Neon Ballroom and Diorama are masterpieces imo
His voice memos literally sound exactly like mine lmao
Kevin..please do an Acoustic live stream. Thank you.
I love how Rubin always brings up The Ramones lol, every interview
This is the best interview I've ever heard. Two legends!
Sheila Koala WhO iS RiCk rUbiN
Sheila Koala Ever heard of the Beastie Boys? 👀
@@prod.bytrue2 ive heard of bestie boys, but not rick rubin
Thank you Kevin for that justified doc! Made my quarantine.
you really did dat acid bass line like it give me chills
OMG when he talks about his voice and plays it is the best part that’s EXACTLY WHAT I DO and sounds just like my voice notes lol this is great!
Two of my favorite people in one conversation- today was a great day.
This is so inspiring
what a great talk. After listening to it also thought it would have been great listening kevin talk about him producing melodys echo chamber first album
Fantastic Interview!
This is pure gold
Bless these men
This is crazy literally every thing he said I could relate to.
“Does your dad still remember the name of it?”.......every since i wassssss a smallll boyyyyyyy
just imagined kevin parker in rubin's shangri-la studio recording his new album. it could be awesome
Hes so right about being known as a band is limiting. Thats why i went solo. I could evolve as much as i wanted on my own terms like David Bowie. Good for him for doing what he wants and not caring about what ppl will think
yet he still said "we were playing songs that I’d written for us to play live…. and they were different to the ones I was recording at home or that we even had on Myspace". WE had on MySpace. its still a band. its no different to Radiohead. Thom Yorke is the sole song writer and there are plenty of songs from Radiohead that are just Thom. but he needs the other guys to play live. and Jay & Dom have been with Kevin since 2008. they signed the contract and Kevin can't play a gig without them. hell Jay's playing drums on a number of the early tunes and he even sings on one of the Lonerism b sides. Tame Impala is a band that Kevin writes and records the songs for. every time he gets on stage he says "hello we're Tame Impala"
best tame impala podcast ive seen
Man I love tame
Damn this rick rubin really dissects kevin’s brain. Rick rubin is like Kevin Parker’s DMT
DMT?
Lol
@@tristankerr3655 nah Dan TDM
@@biglezmate3830 positively MDT
great interview
Why does Rubin sound like he's smuggled a Motorola Razr into his cell block?
douglas fairmeadow underrated comment hahaha
@Gauravdeep Cheema 😂booty call ☎️
Keester is the best word ⬆️
this is quite possibly the greatest thing to ever exist... ever
Kevin Parker and Rick Rubin collaboration fuck yes, please.
I'm so fucking happy right now. Found this mid spliff. Tonight just got good
Ps I love you Kevin
I like how Rubin asks how Kevin found music
Kevin Parker ❤
I was wondering if I could use a part of this conversation in my music. There’s a very interesting part where Kevin talks about ideas and coming up with melodies. Thank you!
This is not the way to get permission.
@@gravitasrecordings true, I never did. Was just asking in case there will be a chance.
Just use it! I dont think its different than what rappers and djs do!
Rick, I would Love to see you work with Daniel Johns (of SilverChair fame). He is an amazing artist. I believe that a true Masterpiece would emerge from that session.
Really enjoying this episode. they are all great
39:48 Kevin asks Rick Rubin about recording Californication
Awesome awesome interview yo
Very aquarius kev, got ya❤
great, concise, questions
2:09 I have the same thing but with a song that sounds like Tommorows Dust from the slow rush, memories flooded when I first heard that song because it sounds so much like a song that my dad would play in the car and for some reason the song would make me cry as a kid just from the emotion, but now when I listen to tommorows dust song it's like damnn I remember that but totally lost the original song. It was a christian song though, All i know is it has the same melody and chords as tommorows dust. Danngg
wow this is great!!
You can hear Kevin's mind blowing when Rick starts talking about what the Californication recording sessions were like.
That demo he played at 29:40 sounds like it could be sooo good
so humble hes more talented than all his own idols
Rick Rubin brings the monk out of everyone
Kevin I LOVE YOU
I screamed that a few times when I saw them in Toronto , I was pretty close to the front also … lol must have been weird for him hearing a 40 something year old dude yell that lol… he did say thanks though once haha ❤
wow those voice memos
the outro beat at half speed would make a great Tame Impala sample, like 'CRANK THE BASS UP'
"i dont know what you get out of hurting me" that has to be a song plzz
Genious
I would love to see one of these with Beck.
❤❤❤
Holy shit, I hear the Walk in the Park inspiration in Backwards... both great songs in their own right.
Kev was so nervous haha
this a great conversation 30:00 to 33:00 was niice haha
Wait, you mean it's THE Rick Rubin? The producer? And he's got a podcast?
Rick is one of the producers of broken records podcast.
Kevin loves Frusciante
which time?
@@210paddie final part - I just supposed (californication it's his favorite album or something like that)
Who doesn't
27:46 "now because I want to force it to happen"
"Let it happen" 😂
Imagine a tame impala album where kevin works w rick.... idk if the world is ready for that
Probably coming soon
I have a feeling the song his dad would play is Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny
25:57 exactly it’s about touching that emotion
This was amazingly insightful. I'm going to dive deeper into this music.
Rick, if our paths never cross and I never have the extraordinary privilege of having you produce my music, I wanted to let you know something. Being open to the universe like you are, I was born Oct 1st with 6 perfectly functional fingers on each and toes on each foot. The Dr actually asked my Mom not to remove them citing "What if he plays guitar, piano, or music for a living?" Ironically even though my Mom did have them removed, that's not even the strangest part of that story. Maybe some day we can sit down and talk. Peace ✌
Jarrett
36:00 i think that the song that came up in his mind after listening walking in the park by Beach House, is "Feels like we only go backwards"
Perhaps the song he was talking about is Telstar by The Shadows.
(The songs an absolute ringer!)
shadow players
Just checked out The Shadows version of Telstar and it was a cheesy 80s travesty! I guess you mean the original version by The Tornados from 1962! :P
I think it’s sleep walk by Santo & Johnny check it out - pass it on to KP
What? The Tears for Fears version of Mad world is in no way inferior to the more popular version. Has an energy!
My brain had a moment and I thought this was being hosted by Rick Ross for a second lol
man I want to have a convo w this guy
Kevin’s got the bubblies at 10:00
I'm happy to know that I am not the only one who pretends to be with a group of people when working alone
Where’s the playlist mentioned at the end? I didn’t see it on the website
🐐🐐
I died at 29:25, feel like we've all done this humbling exercise
When does he play the demo?
Hey do you think you guys could put another ad on this? I don’t think there is enough...
Would be awesome if there wasn't an ad every 2 minutes
haha, 'everything with drop d'', it's interesting, I grew up with Nirvana, but at the time when I was learning to play guitar, I knew about drop d but I kinda used it very rarely, I guess I wanted to sound more through Nirvana, like myself, what I wanted when I grew and grew, I never like to play songs of the other bands, at my beginnings at least.
Weird and a great moment was when I played 'Aneurysm' before I heard the song, I knew Bleach and Nevermind but not that song, and I played the main riff thinking it's mine, it's so good and then I heard it... What a trip, never understood what happened, and how, you know?...
Me too only with more than a feeling by Boston 😂
Anyone got the spelling on the name of the band Kevin mentions at 9:30?
I believe he's talking about Dungen
