and to party like it was 1979.
13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,639
When Skylab crashed into the desert
in Western Australia,
14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,119
it seemed like the future had landed
right in our own backyard.

In '79, disco and rock music had been
having their own tug of war,
32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,439
and it was hard to tell
which side was winning.
33
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,679
Disco was so infectious.
34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,759
I mean, it brought
people out to dance.
35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,159
I mean, while I was in Miami,
36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,919
it was like I'd never actually seen
people dance
37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,359
like they were dancing down there.
38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,599
It was like... I thought, "Wow."
39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,439
I mean, this isn't pussyfooting
around.
40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,319
Well, I think that once people got
down to the formula
41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,359
and found out what would work,
42
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,079
they tended to get... they tended to
take it too far
43
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,359
and just, they could put out
anything
44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,360
to a beat and it would work.
45
00:01:56,361 --> 00:01:57,719
And I think that's over now.
46
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,959
You have to have
a good song, as well,
47
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,759
that happens to be in a disco beat
48
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,719
to make it now, I think, in disco.
49
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Other styles of music were also
staking their claim.
50
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,719
We describe our music as...
51
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,759
a road to consciousness, you know?
52
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,719
It was time to evaluate
the past decade
53
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,239
and to anticipate
what might lie ahead.
54
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,119
And, I think people now are much
more interested
55
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,479
in becoming a projected image on
television.
56
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,639

are starting to act
57
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,679

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,479
And a lot of lyrics are just talking
about stuff
59
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,800

is very good.

As musical styles
danced around each other,
106
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,479
discussion raged about image
and corporate interference.
107
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,799
And basically, before we had any
commercial success,
108
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,879
we had been working for like, two or
three years.
109
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,959
So, I think that, you know,
110
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,999
commercialism is really behind the
art form.
111
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,399
If you were gonna take somebody from
the '70s, you know,
112
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,640
and put 'em, like, in a...
113
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,399
as like, in a time capsule or
something,
114
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,759
you would put Rod Stewart in there
115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,519
because other bands
look at that as saying,
116
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,479
"Well, that is the
ultimate rock star."
117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,159
He has every element.
118
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,879
Your punk bands have got the right
idea with the image,
119
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,919
but they're missing out on the
other... on rehearsing 20 hours a day
120
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,159
and getting the sound down,
and getting the music down.
121
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,639
Whereas, a lot of your bands,
other bands,
122
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,120

and think nothing about image.
123
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,319

it like as,
124
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,919
"This is a package deal and this

125

got that."

you probably don't recognise me.

But if you watch Countdown,
371
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,959
I'll be with you, taking you into

As so-called New Wave acts
performed on Countdown,
384
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,839
the debate raged on
about the effects of punk.
385
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,359
But was the Sex Pistols a gimmick?
386
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,799
It never started out as one.
387
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,999
It started out as a piss-take.
388
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,200
A mockery of.
389
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,200
Went sour, so I left.
390
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,599
Um, but initially, I mean, like,
391
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,719
when you had your music
392
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,799
and you seemed to be deprived,
at that stage,
393
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,159
of ever really getting it played
394
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,119
because of all the corporations,
like EMI and A&M,
395
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,159
dropping... dropping you
before it was released.
396
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,399
Surely, Never Mind the Bollocks,
397
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,359
you must have been proud of and
happy with...
398
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:53,560
at the time?
399
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,640
It was fine for then, but so what?
400
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,959
Times move on.
401
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:01,359
You cannot live in the past.
402
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,280
Only a fool looks back to last year
or the year before.
403
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,039
Well, so, how do you see music...?
404
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,399
What's wrong with looking forward?
405
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,120
Right, so, how do you see music in
the '80s?
406
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,840
Hopefully, getting better.
407
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,079
In what way, though?
408
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,960
In that many attitudes
will be accepted, not just one way.
409
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,240
Punk became, like, fascist.
410
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,960
It has to be this way or else.
411
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,279
But didn't you dictate that,
to some extent?
412
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,839
No, I did not.
413
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,199
I've always said,
music should be many attitudes.
414
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,319
All are tolerable.
415
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,639
It becomes intolerable when one
particular form takes over
416
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,279
and obliterates the rest.
417
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,959
That is wrong.
418
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,879
Didn't you feel some achievement
419
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,599
of overthrowing the establishment
420
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,599
and making them open the doors
to young groups?
421
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,919
No. The pathetic conclusion of that
movement
422
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,920
was one load of assholes were
replaced with another load.
423
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,560
Nothing was achieved.
424
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,840
So, that was...
425
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Yeah, mate?
Excuse me, mate.
426
00:26:02,841 --> 00:26:04,799
How 'bout a bit more Kiss music for
Kiss fans? In Melbourne.
427
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,399
Alright, then. Do you wanna see them
in concert?
428
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,719
Yeah, I'd love to, mate.
OK, we'll try.
429
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,479
There's not enough of it out here.
What's your name?
430
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,799
Michael Marrisay.
Where are you from?
431
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Moonee Ponds.
432
00:26:11,801 --> 00:26:12,879
And you really like KISS?
Yeah.
433
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,159
Alright, we'll try
to do that for you.
434
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,879
OK, so there you are,
Countdown in Concert.
435
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,759
Right, now, we've got a group that
we're really, really proud of.
436
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,839
In '78, they were one of the finds
for '78.
437
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,039
They've crept up the charts with a
couple of singles
438
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,159
and then the critics
started really raving.
439
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,919
They won an award, a King of Pop,
and deservedly so.
440
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,959
This year, they're going to really
hit big.
441
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,999
And it's Sports,
442
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,279
and they've got a great new album
out called Don't Throw Stones.
443
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,679
And you should hear the new version
444
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,039
of Who Listens to the Radio.
445
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,479
Wow, is that something else.
446
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,999
But anyhow, on Wednesday, they're
leaving for England
447
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,559
and they're going to tour with
Graham Parker,
448
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,879
so we're going to
lose them for a while.
449
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,679
But meanwhile, we've got a single to
bide us time.
450
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,399
And here it is, Don't Throw Stones.
451

even for our own breakthrough acts,
like Air Supply,
610
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,160
Australia had become a regular stop
on the world circuit.
611
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,879
First of all,
can you just tell us, Andy,
612
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,239
a little bit about the group itself?
613
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,439

We are having most of our success in
England at the moment.

00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,119

to try and consolidate.
619
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,119
Was Roxanne initially structured as
a single
620
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,279

album?
621
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,999
Initially structured as just a song
622
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,359
and then, we didn't actually realise
its potential
623
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,639
until our manager came and heard it
and freaked out.
624
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,119
And we were so puzzled
by his sort of enthusiasm.
625
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,839
And then, the more we listened, the
more we thought,

"God, this is good."

00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,079
You've spoilt the surprise.
709
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,159
I'm not the dresser.
710
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,160
Alright.
OK.
711
00:39:14,161 --> 00:39:15,399
You should be in that outfit.
712
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,560
(BOTH LAUGH)
713
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,599
(STAMMERS) Th-th-the toma... the
toma...
714
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,719
(SCREAMS)
715
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,079
Oh, no!

00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,159
Bring on the harem girls, quickly!
718
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,639
One album.
Hiya, dog face!
719
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,519
(CHUCKLES) Iggy, how are you, mate?
720
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,559
G'day! G'day!
Listen, welcome to the show.
721
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,159
Um, the first time I saw you was in
Detroit
722
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,439
a couple of years ago,
723
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,079
um, live in concert.
724
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,919
What's wrong? Don't you send me up!
725
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,519
(LAUGHS)
You behave yourself.
726
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,479
Now, listen, we've got to ask you
some sensible questions.
727
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,480
Alright.
The first time,
728
00:39:47,481 --> 00:39:49,159
was a couple of weeks... er,
a couple of years ago.
729
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,879
Hi!
Was with...
730
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,839
Iggy, will you concentrate
on the questions?
731
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,039
Uh.
Um, was with David Bowie.
732
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,159
Yeah.
Very good friend?
733
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,559
No, you mean, he played piano with
my band.
734
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,639
Yeah, um, he played a very low...
735
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,640
He was with me.
Right.
736
00:40:00,641 --> 00:40:02,759
Now, you've worked together sort of
record-wise, haven't you?
737
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:03,760
Yeah, yeah.
738
00:40:03,761 --> 00:40:06,879
And on the sly, too.
I know. I know.
739
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,599
Now, listen, with David Bowie...
Yeah.
740
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,319
He's had a lot of influence on
you, I gather.
741
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,559
Yeah. Yeah.
742
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,039
In what re... Can you answer these
questions properly?
743
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,359
He taught me how to compromise.
744
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,119
Um, what I'm trying to sort of say
is, Blondie,
745
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,319
I mean Debra, um... I'm sorry.
746
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,319
DEBBIE: Oh, just, could you wait
just a second?
747
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,119
Just a minute?
Yep. That's alright.
748
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,879
As you can see, this interview is
getting absolutely nowhere.
749
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,439
Has anyone had an influence on the
music in the '70s,
750
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,799
in your mind?
751
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,879
Ah, I'm trying to
think of all the people
752
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,359
that we've just spoken to recently
that said
753
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,119
that we were pretty good. (LAUGHS)
754

755
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,119
Excuse me. This could change
everything again.
756
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,599
Um...(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
757
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,239
If it's my mother,
tell her I'm not home.
758
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:48,360
And if it's John Lennon, tell him I
want my book back.

00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,159

822
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,719

MOLLY: What are your opinions of...
828
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,599
of how music has been in the '70s?
829
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,319
The middle half of the '70s were
very, very dire, I felt.
830
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,239
Um...
Right. Care to explain?
831
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:43,479
Yeah, very much so.
832
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,359
But with the rise of the new wave,
from about '76 onwards,
833
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,999
it's been quite an exciting time.
834
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,759
Can you see the future for music
within the '80s,
835
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:52,960
say, in the first two years?
836
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,279
Well, like I mentioned before,
837
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,439
the new wave things are just only
starting to happen.
838
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,519
And I think they'll have a big
influence
839
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,479
on the first couple of years,
definitely.
840
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,559
Disco music will continue, I think.
841
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,239
I think that, possibly, it'll be
broken into different trends,
842
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:14,199
like rock disco, and then there's
disco for dancing,
843
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,399
and all kinds of disco music.
844
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,079
MOLLY: If you really have to finger
anyone
845
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,359
and put it down to of who may have
had an influence on the '70s,
846
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,679
who would you say?
847
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,159
Just looking at different...
848
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,279
Stevie Wonder.
849
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,399
Yeah? Some say David Bowie.
850
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,879
What is your opinion of David Bowie?
851
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,439
Yeah, I like him.
852
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:31,440
Not his music?
Good lad.
853
00:46:31,441 --> 00:46:32,719
Oh, his... as a musician?
854
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:34,559
Oh, I still like him.
Yeah?
855
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,199
Yeah.
What about, sort of like,
856
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,279
you had your David Bowies and your
Elton Johns
857
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,759
that sold a massive amount of
records.
858
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,519
Why do you think that perhaps they
didn't have the influence
859
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,399
that say, songwriters like yourself
had in the '60s
860
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,239
and carried over to the '70s?
861
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:51,080
Well, tell you the truth,
I don't know if they haven't.
862
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:53,720
I don't know, you know.
863
00:46:53,721 --> 00:46:55,441
And, looking at it from another
viewpoint...
864
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,319
like the younger kids' viewpoint,
I don't know.
865
00:46:58,320 --> 00:46:59,879
If you ask them,
I think they might say
866
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,919
they have had as big an influence,
for them.
867
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,799
I think for us, us old cronies,
868
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,759
I don't think it's had as much of an
influence like, say, as Elvis,
869
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,639
because there's not been
anyone that big for us.
870
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,399
But I suppose for them, like, for a
lot of the kids,
871
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,199
the Sex Pistols was a big thing.
872
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,919
And they were a really good group.
873
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,279
I suppose we'll continue to...
874
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,079
stretch ourselves to bring out
interesting sounds
875
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,159
within basic...
876
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,879
you know, instruments.
877
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:28,959
Right.
I mean,
878
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,479
other people prefer to...
879
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,079
use the 1980's machine,
880
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,199
but we'd rather... create something
else.
