I just had a laugh watching footage of Andrew Eldritch having a cigarette fight with a disgruntled crowd. I can't understand much of what is being said, but it sounds as if Von was winding up the presenter via relenting to speak German (the interview at one point begs him to speak German in English), so is it possible for one of the more fluent German speakers here to translate and tell me what's going on exactly?

There's also a Dutch interview here and a German interview here (from 1984) that I have never seen before and thought people here may be interested in.

Just saw it and picked my avatar from it. Oh how bloody we sniff the net on news.

But never take Deutsch for Dutch. Dutch is what the silly Dutchmen do in The Netherlands.

And the Flemish in that there upper part of Belgiumland...

IZ.

Thanks!

Bloody Oi! one of my best friends is a Dutchman

Hahaha - that was cute. Seemed like ol' Eldo was amusing himself at the interviewer's expense.

I never see Andy that "casual"... what's the most casual any of you guys has seen him? (either IRL or in a vid?)

first people should call and gues whos inside the box, the interviewer gives some tips like: live´s in hamburg,....
then andrew comes out of the box.
Interviewer: You have to go down again.
...
What do you do when you get nervous?
Andrew: I am the fifth beatle!!!!

Then the interviewer still waits for a call, but that doesent work.

Interviewer: Maby i`ll just talk to him. What do you do when you get nervous? Smoke? I always carrie masses of cigarettes with me. You want one?
Andrew: Have you got enough?
I: Yeah sure. What is your reciepe.
A: Apart from the drugs? Far to many cigarettes.
I: Oh, we got someone on the telephone. Who is it? Hello? I don´t hear a thing.
Caller: ... from Achen.
I: from where?
A: He does have a fire.
I: And you guessed who he is?
C: Yes Andrew Eldritch.
I: Who?
C: Andrew Eldrtich.
I: Yes, applaud please, thanks.

I: so, he´s going back to hamburg tomorrow to make a new record. And we prepared a clip from the sisters of mercy and after that we continue with metallic traffic.


Little sister:
please forgive my spelling, but it´s late already
PS: i didnt hear him begging, he just says that andrew should speak something in german to the audience.

he looks realy nervous, he probably couldn t wait to leave the room

Dinky, you forgot this one! Untergewicht wrote "Part 3" on it!
A very nice find, especially as we get Andrews bank link (Commerzbank Reeperbahn, ask for Mrs. Bremer (I just took a look for a link to them, they´ve shut down! Too much Rock´n`Roll going on around them?))

I guess the interviewer from the first link was what started Andrews very special handling techniques for the audience (Quote: "Shut up!").
Only that this interviewer blerk was very serious about that.. (Which probably was what made the audience throw stuff onto the stage)

I shall dedicate to try and type out the three links. Trainspotting at it´s worst, yes, but someone´s got to do it.
(Forum:"Get a life!" Me:"Can´t afford one" F:"Fine, then get typing!")
That may take some time, though.

hehe my mum used to work for Commerzbank.

The presenter was begging the audience to be quiet. But they rather didnt care and screamed for The Residents who have been on before.

what an embarrassing little oddity.

Eldritch, although looking somewhat nervous, seemed to be enjoying it though. I love the cheeky smirk he gets that is now dinky daisy's avatar.

@Little_Sister, thanks for the translation.

Thanks! I´m glad I could help!

I really like the interview - so funny

I guess the Gauweiler is this old bloke?

He is.

And I guess he's an old politician or something?

Yupp. Andrew apparently loves the members of the bavarian CSU for their sensible scepticism of social engagement.
You may imagine the political conditions down there at Bavaria as a mix of a comedy version of 1920´s Chicago and today´s Disneyworld.

Danke für das info.

Yep, very odd indeed. Thank fck he doesn't do many TV appearances.

Cheers for the translation Little-Sister.

thanks for the links!
anyone having these 4 in PC or something?
the last time when I tried to download from Youtube I got smaller (worse) versions of the videos...
