Fuzz Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 At the end of 2011 we asked you guys for your questions for Lookout! Records founder Larry Livermore. The interview has been broken up into parts, and you can hear the first one today Part 1: http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/3013/ Tony and Larry talk mostly about his upcoming book Spy Rock Memories, the beginning of Lookout! and Larry asks the difference between GDA and GDC.
Mike of Suburbia Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Cool! I'll have to listen to it later.
Heather. Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Listening right now and loving it! You done good, Tony. Although, being an elitist GDC member, I say that with the utmost pretension.
greendaytone Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I can't believe i accidentally said "Yeah" when Larry asked if it was elitist!!! I got rather nervous at the start of it. Really pleased with the whole thing, lots of good stuff to come!
dumb shiny bitch Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Great interview! Really injoyed it! Can't wait for part 2!
Margo 39 smooth Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 this is so cool! aha Tony you must of been nervous. Great job
Bastard of 1967 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 This is beyond cool. Larry is just as fascinating a person on tape as he is in writing. Can't wait to hear more!
Hermione Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Ooh recorded? Brilliant! Can't wait to listen when I get the chance! Also I wish I'd thought of a question to ask now
Heather. Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Is it just me or did Larry have a slight British accent in the beginning that slowly faded away? I think that's just kind of the way he talks though. I loved the honest discussion about pets.
Fuzz Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Hah, i heard the accent too. Either Larry had an accent for a tiny bit or Tony's was strong enough for us to hear one for both. I only got to hear a couple minutes while working on uploading it. I'll check out the full thing as soon as I can.
Bastard of 1967 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Is it just me or did Larry have a slight British accent in the beginning that slowly faded away? I heard a blend of British, northern Great Lakes, and Noo Yawwk in there. I was looking for some flavor of Bay area "groovy, man" too but was disappointed not to find any.
whatserbmae Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Haha, I heard the British accent at the beginning too! This was interesting. But maybe a little too much about the animals Looking forward to the next parts!
captain peroxide Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Sometimes, just sometimes, Larry sounds a bit like Angus Young. Which I'm totally okay with. Great interview
Karen. Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Is it just me or did Larry have a slight British accent in the beginning that slowly faded away? Totally! When it started I was like WTF!
Heather. Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 There is no such thing as a "British" accent. (Britain = Scotland, Northern Ireland, England & Wales.) Maybe British accents are the creation of Americans attempting to sound like any combination of those 4 regions---thus they exist as pathetic imitations? It's a catch22 you see---we can't fail at imitating an accent that doesn't really exist
*withoutadoubt* Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 That was a really great interview, Tony - congrats! Larry's a good storyteller - he makes listening really interesting. Looking forward to the next part.
billiejoephil Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 WHat an awesome thing to do and record! Thanks Tony, you were doing an amazing job. And Larry is really really interesting to listen to.
Alan86 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I finally got a chance to listen to this. Its a very interesting interview, Larry really does explain himself very well, I can't wait to hear the rest of it.
frankiessister Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Great stuff, I'm really looking forward to more of this. LL seems to be such a genuinely nice guy, it's just a pleasure to listen to him. And I don't think that the pet talk was too long since his opinions about pets and animal in general reveal a lot about him. So yeah, I greatly enjoyed this so far, patiently waiting for more. Keep up the good work, Tony!
Hermione Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I'm such an idiot that I've only just remembered to listen to this. Really interesting interview! I wanted it to carry on when it ended abruptly, hope you'll put the rest up soon. Maybe British accents are the creation of Americans attempting to sound like any combination of those 4 regions---thus they exist as pathetic imitations? It's a catch22 you see---we can't fail at imitating an accent that doesn't really exist I think English accent would usually be more accurate, there's obviously different English accents but when Americans say British accent it's usually an English one rather than a Scottish or Welsh or Northern Irish one.
greendaytone Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Sorry for the wait, traveling at the moment so will get the next part up when i'm back home, which should be this weekend.
Hermione Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Part 2's up on GDA http://www.greendaya....com/news/3127/ I listened to it earlier, great stuff! Looking forward to part 3.
