- Legendary rock guitarist Richard Lloyd, founding member of the band Television, shares the story of his life in music with Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz. Lloyd’s new memoir is “Everything is Combustible.”
Starting in Pittsburgh and moving through New York City and beyond, with a cast full of music legends, Lloyd uses his distinct voice to chronicle Television's humble beginnings, their rise to fame, his drug addiction and recovery, and his touring adventures with artists such as Matthew Sweet, John Doe, and Robert Quine. Lloyd also details his solo years, including the backstory of his iconic and critically-acclaimed records such as “Alchemy” and “Field of Fire.”
Lloyd recalls the heyday of the New York rock music scene, filling the void in the written records of music history, and giving the first complete account of Television from one of the founding members.
Richard Lloyd was born in in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1951. He is a world renowned electric guitarist, songwriter, recording artist and a founding member of Television. As an author, Lloyd was a regular columnist with Guitar World Magazine: the "Alchemical Guitarist." As an autodidact, he has developed extensive expertise in many scientific and religious areas, and believes in the alchemical rule: "One book opens another."
Chris Frantz is a founding member of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club. He is a drummer, songwriter, radio show host and is soon to be an author. He recently started a new electronic music duo with Tina Weymouth called Chris Und Tina. He resides in Fairfield, Connecticut.

Goddamn, isn't it great when a guitarist is as cool off the stage as on. Thanks for all the wonderful music -- and stories -- Richard!
richard has aged so beautifully
really hope I'm as cool as him when I grow up
ty for the art richard
Congrats to Richard & Chris ,,,I enjoyed a lot the stories ..
The same boring stories
The greatest! Thanx.
Nice to see someone mention the Erasers. As Richie says here, the Erasers should’ve made an album.
49:04. Boomerang Love...is what I'm thinking of...😂
I like when Richard gets all sciency. And Chris so affable as ever.
very astute about life being like a water slide.
Awesome interview.
Richard started playing guitar a year after Marquee Moon came out? Lol I think he meant he played for 50 years not 40.
Lol
Not a very good chemist you might say. Love the work!
I wish Richard wouldn't have shut down so hard when discussing Marquee Moon. I don't feel that the person asking the question about "interplay" was asking something intrusive or offensive. I could've easily absorbed a conversation about the two guitar parts and how they came together, from an artistic, or from a psychological direction. I mean the song made history you know? ( in my mind at any rate, or at least for any of us fans who have worshipped all things 'Television').
Personally I would have rather have heard more of that kind of extrapolation than funny stories about John Lee Hooker.
Yeah maybe too much to go over as Richard said. But wow that was a harsh cut off.
I get the impression he doesn't like talking about Verlaine.
Well he and Verlaine don’t get along apparently and Verlaine did that television reunion without Lloyd, which was lame of him
@@nickfanzo very weird I just got your reply (which I agree with) and I was just listening to Televisions' Rhyme song, and I haven't listened to any television since this last interview that you are responding to.
I'm pretty sure AI doesn't reach into your head...
LOL....so they didn’t “audition” Chris Franz for Television.
A couple cute grandpas
Can a guy get a scooby snack in this town??
Silly communists
