- Richard Hell is one of the founding fathers of Punk Music. Born Richard Meyers in Kentucky, after dropping out of school he moved to New York with literary ambitions. In 1972 he formed the band 'The Neon Boys' with his schoolfriend Tom Miller and drummer Billy Ficca. The following year the band became 'Television', with Meyers and Miller assuming the names Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine, and they recruited young guitarist Richard Lloyd.
Television discovered the legendary CBGB, the club out of which American Punk music developed, in 1974. During his time in Television, Hell also developed a unique look, wearing battered and torn clothing, which was the key visual inspiration for the Sex Pistols. He left Television in 1975 and joined former New York Dolls Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan in 'The Heartbreakers' for a year, before forming his own band 'Richard Hell and The Voidoids'. After recording two albums, the band split, and Hell went into partial retirement, although since the late 1990s he's returned to writing.
In this interview Hell discusses his various influences, Andy Warhol and pre-punk pioneers The Velvet Underground, watching The New York Dolls at Mercer Arts Centre, Television, CBGB, heroin, The Heartbreakers, The Voidoids, and the UK Punk scene. - Hudba
Thanks for the line from Andy Warhol: "Always leave your audience wanting less."
When Warhol saw the Velvets at Cafe Bizarre in Dec ‘65, they were practically tailor made for his purpose. I think it was sort of just accidental or even incidental that they also turned out to be one of greatest pop groups of the era and of all time.
Warhol was already working on an idea for an “underground” minimalist pop band as early as ‘63, at least partially inspired by LaMonte Young’s Theater of Eternal Music multimedia performances celebrated in the east village art/underground film scene at this time. At first, Warhol thought he’d perform in the group with LaMonte Young and other art scene luminaries. Later he decided to “sponsor” an original group. The Fugs and Holy Modal Rounders were both auditioned at the Factory in mid ‘65.
Velvet Crapground are full of trinkets pinkie pie and shitsandwhiches
Stooges were the first full on punk band.
leave them wanting less. that’s hilarious
Modern lovers also loved the stooges I didn't hear hell profess his love for stooges like every other punk rocker
Is Richard off his nut here, he seems under the influence, he is struggling to form a sentence. Hope he's ok
so much drugs during his life sure caused any mental effect today, even if he left them...
@@aprendizdebrujo100about 15 years ago, I saw him give a reading about the Rolling Stones at the Barbican.
He couldn't even read his own stuff, and reread the same page twice without realising.
This was after I'd seen Iain Sinclair and Alan Moore talking about Burroughs, freestyling brilliantly without pause for 90 minutes.
The Velvet Underground were just a boring art group started by an intellectual with a huge chip on his shoulders. They were hardly punk! Ha .. that's just a joke. They didn't even play music. They made films and modelled themselves. Punk true punk began in England with the Pistols. They were the real deal not this poor lost dude with no future. He loves himself so much I'm sure he could find a modelling agency for old people
You don’t like The Velvet but it’s just your opinion ! Concerning Punk Rock Music Ramones and NYC bands invented Punk before Pistols and all the British Punk Bands! But who cares … Now the Sex Pistols have their Serie on Disney Channel ! Johnny Rotten live in L.A and gave his voice to Trump during the last Elections. Great attitude for a true Punk !!!! 😁😆😅😂🤣
The Pistols THEMSELVES wouldn't be caught dead subscribing to any of that revisionist history bullshit.
How can you expect any of the rest of us to swallow it?
@@chriscoughlin9289 exactly
@@zaradragonia9863 Exactly what? That your OP was utterly full of it?
Steve Jones would be the first to agree.
The heartbreakers were the first real punks. .
