all I speak is words

These are video and audio interviews or specials or
documentaries with Tricky. At the bottom you will find
some German interviews that I encoded to real audio,
but the audio is not working anymore.


		*video interviews*
		_ Interview + Live Montreal (27. June 1995) This is the oldest video interview I could find. It's quite short and has live clips of a concert in Montreal (29. May) in it. Most interesting detail: he explains that he's fascinated with Indian music, because the Mum of an Indian girlfriend sent him tapes every month. No wonder he sampled some Indian tracks on Maxinquaye! NAKED AND FAMOUS - documentary by Mark Kidel (1997) Very interesting documentary filmed in Bristol by Mark Kidel in 1997. It was on You Tube in parts: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, but it's private now. It is also released officially on the 'Ruff Guide' DVD (see discography). SHOWSTUDIO: Steve McQueen interview (21. March 2001) This was a really long and interesting interview, but now there's just a short snippet to watch. The rest can only be read in the transcript here. TRACKS: Tricky, Musique sous haute tension (31. August 2001) Short interview, dubbed in French. You can also see it on You Tube. DOCUMENTARY: Tricky (2003) This is a documentary with interview parts, done around the time of 'Vulnerable'. Costanza also tells how she came to work with Tricky: she gave a demo CD to his drummer. It could be the 'Vulnerable movie' from CD2 from the CD/DVD version, I have to check... French Tricky interview (2003) French video interview about the album Vulnerable, it's split into short pieces (one for each question, unfortunately the questions are not in it): part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4. CHRIS NEADHAM: Tricky interview (14. June 2008) Very funny interview with a weird interviewer. JENNY GREENE: Tricky interview (11.

RHAPSODY: Q&A video interview (2008) Interesting video interview about Knowle West Boy and more. BIG SHOT MAG: Tricky discusses his fans and the dangers of ego (17. November 2008) Short interview part, the title says it all. Most interesting detail: he kept "Cross to bear" on the album although he doesn't like it, because he thinks others will like it. Q TV: Tricky interview (8. January 2009) Long interview about 'Knowle West Boy'.

In the frist one he talks about the music he likes at the moment (Terry Lynn, Mavado, Vybz Kartel), in the second one he mentions that the longest concert he ever played was 6 hours in Israel (that was probably the one on 11.

The first time I saw Tricky a bit speechless in an interview (being asked what he has learnt about himself through music). 3 ELEPHANTS: Tricky interview (26. November 2010) Short interview, the interviewer seems to not know Tricky at all ALL SAINTS BASEMENTS: spoken word performance (2011) There was a video interview with an interesting spoken word piece online by All Saints Basements Session, but it's not there anymore. I could only find a short part of it, unfortunately. Interview about asthma-attack and cancelling of a show (2011) This is an interview, where Tricky explains why he had to cancel a show in Mexico on May 25. He was in the hospital because of exhaustion and asthma! He also talks about writing, boxing and more. He also mentions a collaboration with him and Latin-American artists, but nothing was released so far. GAZETA.PL: Tricky interview (1. July 2011) Interview about his favorites countries to tour (Poland, Russia, France), living in strange cities, Brown Punk movie. There's another part here. They already had an interview with him in 2010 (see above). In the second part he mentions that he had a "competition" up on his website that people should send him covers of a Tricky song in their native language and in English, and he wants to put these songs on a compilation.

September 2014) This is a short video interview with Tricky. In part 1 he explains why he used the name 'Adrian Thaws' for the album and talks about superstar DJs about music he wants to hear in a club. In part 2 he explains that Nicotine Love made it to the album the last minute, being inspired by a fan's comment on Facebook (someone was surprised that he chose a house tune for "Tricky's Choice").

September 2014) Short snippet about why Tricky loves Chief Keef. FACT MAGAZINE: I am Adrian Thaws (29. September 2014) This is not really in interview, but a "mini documentary", well very mini in fact, since it's only 10 minutes and that's even with some live clips in between... Nothing really new there, you can read everything in older interviews. Brazil: Press conference (30. March 2015) Short part of a press conference in Brazil, where he played some festivals in March 2015. FRESHMILK TV: Tricky Interview (10. April 2015) Very short video interview, their website is here, the video on You Tube is here. Although it was published in April I'm pretty sure that it's older. Last year they also had an interview like that, and it was filmed in December 2013, published in February 2014 (see above). Tricky talks about his freedom with his label, how recording music is fun and like meditation and what he would change in the music industry. LA DEFENSE JAZZ FESTIVAL: Tricky Interview (31. August 2015) Short interview, most interesting information: he recorded a new album called 'Skilled Mechanics', the title is how a CIA guy describes contract killers. The album is rap and Tricky is doing a lot of vocals, so he wants to change his live shows, it will be only him, his drummer and DJ Milo. But probably also a female singer. LRT: Tricky Interview (5. February 2016) Interview on Lithuanian TV about the new album and tour, people could call and win the signed vinyl and concert tickets for Vilnius. _
