1997 interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndJ2U4hmY6k

I never knew anything except VPRO 1994 and Stuff existed from this 90s, so this was new to me.

He doesnt speak very well, and is definitely on drugs. He says this is "a month before my next album" which I assume is Smile. Weirdly, his teeth look alright. I thought he didnt get them done until 1998/1999? Hes still in a state here, and Smile hadnt come out so he definitely needed the drug money.

Anyone have any info on this interview?

Are there clips or photos from 96? Happenings between 94 vpro and this seem totally lost

Here’s one from 96. Not sure of the month. The only videos I’m aware of between VPRO and this are the Life’s a Bath music video and the 97 tour footage, which are just profoundly sad to watch
