  • Talking Heads were at peak popularity in the mid-1980's when they visited New Zealand for a second time. This interview with their enigmatic leader David Byrne in early 1984 is a rare snapshot of one of rock's most unlikely stars from his heyday

    I didn't expect to see david smoking, he probably doesn't anymore.

    He looks like both a disgruntled employee and a pissed-off employer

    he was extremely introverted, and by his own admission had borderline Asperger's and yet his genius still shines through

      You're absolutely right ... people sometimes mistake this as him being high, etc. but, they're wrong. His affect is misunderstood.

    Funny smile at 1:47. It disappears so quickly. Also, radio stations were still segregated in 1984?

      From my understanding, not segregated strictly in any real legal sense, but culturally absolutely

    I’m anxious to know what they’re talking about. Can someone replace the audio?

    oooo he seems away in another place, or not very happy.

      Both I should imagine.
      That was at the time/place of the last Talking Heads concert, so he probably had things on his mind.....

    This video is not worth watching without audible audio.

    Love the TH but smoking sucks shit

    • @glanni
      @glanni Před 2 lety +4

      That was in the 80s, I would be surprised if he still smoked.
      I still like to see it in those old TV clips tbh. It's almost kind of nostalgic except for a time I wasn't alive in.

      P Slatts eh he’s like that in all of his interviews, even a bit nowadays. He has high functioning autism, which makes people appear a bit strange, like being unable to make eye contact for a long time, and strange voice fluctuations. But who knows maybe he is lol

    • @chelseapoet3664
      @chelseapoet3664 Před 3 lety +8

      He wasn't into smack. Could have been some coke involved, but his quirks can also be explained by his Asperger's.

    He may have been on acid

  • @missa1063
    @missa1063 Před 4 lety +11

    Never seen David like this in an interview before; something's either just recently upset him, or he's high as fuck lol

      he was really pissed because he did not want to be doing the NZ or Australia tours
