I think Tim based a lot of his characters on him. A lot of pasty Byronic manchildren. Victor from Frankenweenie is even a horror movie fan/science fair champ like Danny was as a kid.
Does anybody really believe the sexual harassment allegations? I contacted somebody on Instagram who knows the accuser and can verify that she’s a fucking psycho
I agree. I grew up in Southern California right when Boingo got popular. I remember buying Only a Lad in 82 or 83. He had, still has, an aura and charisma. Just magnetic in the stage.
He's is the best interviewee I've ever seen. Straightforward, from the heart, no BS or sarcastic attitude, or "why did you ask me such a dumb question?" Every question he responds respectfully, I am not used to it at all. Usually celebrities are sarcastic, balk at questions to spin them, etc.
He went to the dentist just to get skull x-rays so he could post something cool for Halloween and even his teeth are in great shape. And I’m pretty sure he showed the MRI of his brain at the concert and that looks healthy too. He’s obsessed with body scans, he was going to be a radiobiologist before he found out he was good at music.
Saw Oingo Boingo at the Greek in LA in 1987. Loved Elfman's work for years. Now, watching this interview segment I see that Danny Elfman has one of my favorite artist's works on the walls of his studio: Henry Darger. Amazing connection after all these years!
I’ve seen Oingo Boingo, and they were great, but Danny had already left. Somethings missing. A few months ago, my wonderful husband sent me a copy of a ticket to see Elfman on Aug 5. He is one of a kind.
Danny's Batman theme music is so iconic - it's so right for the film it's brilliant. His music is instantly recognisable before even seeing his name on the screen.
@@michaelburk9171 I’m worried he’s going to not look so good after getting COVID though. I mean he’s going to have to take it easy with his exercise routine for a month or so.
I can't imagine an easier interview, Danny Elfman seems as expressive in speaking about his career as he has been in his career. A joy to listen to, but his music and him speaking about his music.
Danny has a voice that naturally is so hypnotizing , I’d be listening to him read the ingredients on back of ketchup packets….and it’s still going to be entertaining
May I ask about your medical issues. I am going through my own. I have had three back surgeries in 3 years and in horrific pain constantly. As a Side note, I ADORE Danny Elfman. He played at my high school in 83. Not that I just dated myself. 😂
It took me a long time to fall in love with his work. I never knew that he did the Simpsons theme. The first time I noticed his name, was in Men in Black (1). Now I'm 30 and I listen to music in a completely different way. The main theme for Edward Scissorhands is a masterpiece. Too bad people often say it's scary music. Death metal is scary music for me. I consider his music romantic, emotional, timeless. We can be glad to have such wonderful people as him or Tim Burton.
I'm 56 and remember buying Oingo boingo's first album Only a Lad in like 82 or 83. Love at first listen. Good to hear younger folks are finding Elfman's genius. His fill scores are amazing. Edward scissor hand was beautiful. I'd say his scores can be dark and moody. But not scary
I fell in love with his music since Spiderman (2002) soundtrack. He's so talented and unique 👌 Batman (1989) main theme, The Simpsons, Men in Black, Batman main theme for the animated series from the 90's, he has composed many classics.
What a great segment. Great interview. Fascinating person, and so many great scores. No matter your perspective, you can always tell a Danny Elfman score.
So hes basically watching a "silent movie" and has to figure out where to put in the pieces when the scenes play. There is so much to movie making that I have no effing clue. This was a decent interview. Danny seems properly insane to be what he is. Thanks for posting this.
It’s kind of like what I did with cartoon abridging, I would look at the scene with dialogue muted and imagine what I could make the characters say to make it funny, and what kind of random song or sound effects to play in the background.
Back in the 80s , I loved Oingo boingo, and a magazine gave the band a review. They called talentless hacks. I thought it was such a bullshit review. I am so glad Danny Elfman went on to prove the clueless hack so very wrong. I Love Danny ❤️ 😍
He eats mostly pescatarian, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free and does intermittent fasting. Also does cardio every day and weight training. Healed torn rotator cuffs with exercise alone.
I have a question. At the end of the video there’s a HUGE Halloween Background on the Huge Screen. Where can I get that Halloween Background for My Computer to use as Wallpaper????
Actually Pixar never hired him. Danny suspects they hold a grudge against him for making so much noise bothering the Pixar people next door when the CalArts music instructor let him play gamelan.

Shut up

Thats what it takes
Hahahaha!!!
That's probably a compliment to him.

Edward SCISSORHANDS MUSIC.
How can this guy be so talented, so, badass, so genius, and yet be so pleasing and gentle
Does anybody really believe the sexual harassment allegations? I contacted somebody on Instagram who knows the accuser and can verify that she’s a fucking psycho
He's spooky.
He’s so punk.
Back in the 80s he had a strange beauty that I can still see in these days
I agree. I grew up in Southern California right when Boingo got popular. I remember buying Only a Lad in 82 or 83.
He had, still has, an aura and charisma. Just magnetic in the stage.
One of the most talented singers, composers, musicians and human beings. I so admire Danny Elfman.
Same!!!
Hell yes. Danny is the freaking man!!!
I have tickets to see him in San Diego on Aug. 3. Pretty stoked about it.
I had oingo boingo's first albums Only a Lad in like 82.
Damn I'm old.

Yeah he seems like a great guy besides being one of (in my opinion) one of the biggest musical geniuses of our time.
Cause he's real and has sustenance
What else did you expect?
Could you give an example?
Like he said -it’s called being professional.
Danny Elfman is so gifted. He worked very hard to obtain his movie and TV score status. I'm very happy for him.
I can’t get over in what good shape his body is at 69 years old.
@synergy After you

He sucked all life-force out of his wife.
He’s got an amazing captivating voice
This is what talent looks like
and sounds like!
Talent looks very unattractive then!

So this is the guy behind so many of my favorite films
He looks amazing for his age, and he still makes songs; I don't just mean soundtracks either.
He also played the villain in Skyfall, if you remember
I think he's 68. Ya, keep things tight.

I had no clue Danny’s work stretched THIS FAR. Inspiring
I just love and adore his music and his voice... because of his music I've been able to disappear in my mind while enduring horrific medical issues.

I could listen to him talk for hours.
I got to see him for my birthday two years in a row!
He's such a genuine, real human being. He's right up there with my few other favorite composers.
Great story.
A true genius.

His music also has such relatable lyrics...its almost as if he k ows what you are feeling and thinking.
He looks exactly what I’d thought he’d look like and I love it.
Thanks to his score for Batman 89' there will never be a better Batman film.
What a great segment. Great interview. Fascinating person, and so many great scores. No matter your perspective, you can always tell a Danny Elfman score.
He's so fabulous
He’s wholly interesting. Everything about him.
I love his work! He's amazing 🤩
You`re a genius Danny!! Love your music so much God bless You!!!
This was an absolutely fantastic interview. Oh my god wow.
This interview was everything i needed to inspire me and create
the Desperate Housewives & Edward Scissorhands themes still live rent free in my head
Want Oingo Boingo back. Looks like he is wanting to relive some of that possibly. Some of the best 80's music for sure.
So hes basically watching a "silent movie" and has to figure out where to put in the pieces when the scenes play. There is so much to movie making that I have no effing clue. This was a decent interview. Danny seems properly insane to be what he is. Thanks for posting this.
This what genius looks like and sounds like. His music speaks for itself. Like I can't say enough positive things about our man Danny Elfman
It’s kind of like what I did with cartoon abridging, I would look at the scene with dialogue muted and imagine what I could make the characters say to make it funny, and what kind of random song or sound effects to play in the background.
At bit of a mad genius going on in his mind.
I love his music so much. SMH i love oingo boingo
He is awesome right up there with john Williams Beethoven mozart bach and Tchaikovsky
What a wonderful man!❤
Never knew who he was until the recent Bridget Fonda pics came out He’s amazing
I love this man so much.
Dead Man's Party is the first song I play loud on a Friday night to this day
What a great interview. Top notch interviewer there.
Looks like he crawled up from some hellish portal.
I love that man!!!
Genius, beautiful mind.
Danny is hard-core musical wizardry!!
Danny Elfman is a Tim Burton character himself
He looks incredible for almost 70!
Scores can make or break a movie. Elfman is a genius.
Bro looks like 19th century composer
P.S. Jk he’s timeless
Amazing artist
He's so fucking cool
What a beautiful mind!
I am obsessed with his work, I mean him and Tim Burton are like peanut butter and jelly, but he has such an amazing music history. I love it
I loved Oingo Boingo and I have followed him ever since
He is incredible
And that body at that age - awesome
Fascinating.
It's kinda weird hearing him talk.
His speaking voice is so different from his singing voice.
I remember him in the band oingo boingo back in the 80s ...
The scissorhands music always moves me to tears 😢
Met him in 1982 when he played at USC with Oingo Boingo! He wrote ‘Violent Love’ on my hand.
STILL my favorite film composer.
Is that a Henry Darger painting on his wall? Impressive.
I geeked out seeing that. Elfman's tastes only continue to get cooler imo.
real talent
Amazingly and delightfully weird. Love the guy!
My favourite work from Danny Elfman would by far have to be the Spider-Man movies.
I'm just stunned that this is the same guy who did the Spiderman and Men in Black music, and conversely Silver Lining playbook
Don’t forget the Batman theme.
I think he's legitimately a genius
Back in the 80s , I loved Oingo boingo, and a magazine gave the band a review. They called talentless hacks. I thought it was such a bullshit review. I am so glad Danny Elfman went on to prove the clueless hack so very wrong. I Love Danny ❤️ 😍
Boingo was the ultimate.
It takes a deeply feeling person to create deeply profound movies
Yoshikage Kira with the hand obsession.
wonderful
I moved to California at age 37. Can't imagine if I'd been here decades. God knows what id become
Elfman! Need I say more? Except for Danny.... Kudos brother. Love watching your success unfold....
Good voice 🎉 🎼
My childhood during tough times
I knew he was nice! Amazing!
He's awesome
It's just another day for Danny.
Genius 😊
I was changed by Edward Scissorhands as a kid. It was the music.
I would like to know his workout routine and diet. Dude looks damn good for his age. 🤯
He eats mostly pescatarian, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free and does intermittent fasting. Also does cardio every day and weight training. Healed torn rotator cuffs with exercise alone.
DADDYYYY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He's not creepy....he's done more in it life!
He’s tremendously fantastical. The talent and heart and delivery. Consistency and accuracy and precision. 🧠🔥🫶🤙👌💪🤝🤜💅💚
Must have major money man. Great composer
Dude looks like a real life version of the Joker 😮 Massively talented though…
I have a question. At the end of the video there’s a HUGE Halloween Background on the Huge Screen. Where can I get that Halloween Background for My Computer to use as Wallpaper????
Danny Elfman is scored Pixar Animation Studio and Danny Elfman is scored Fantastic Beasts.
Actually Pixar never hired him. Danny suspects they hold a grudge against him for making so much noise bothering the Pixar people next door when the CalArts music instructor let him play gamelan.
I AM SCREAMING BECAUSE I WAS AT THE BANK OF AMERICA SHOW AND HOW WAS THIS ALREADY 2 YEARS AGOO????
was waiting for him to name which Tim Burton film he thought was crap but still had to give it his all lol
What's crazy is Ooing Boingo was such a bro band in the 80s.
his fresh air is all over hollywood today
do you not know that ?
Danny Elfman is a beautiful Accident
ahhhh i love to know an idol of mine shares an idol, peter lorre.
He looks like a clown faced character from one of Burton's movies. Amazing.
He is a genius
Bizarre looking dude
Buddy!!
He needs to come East to Radio City
Tim Burton's cast in nearly every movie: Michael Keaton, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonahm Carter, with Danny Elfman as composer.
