I interviewed Pete in 1996. He was a bit brisk but then again he was in the middle of a tour. None the less he was still charming and asked me more questions. This interview was so pleasant. It's Pete with his guard down and genuinely participating on the conversation. I just adore that man. Bravo on this production.

I've been binge watching Pete Burns interviews lately, he was just such a character, amazing! ❤

The main thing I think is so compelling about Pete is that he is genuine and speaks the truth with no fear of what others might think. That in itself is such a rarity, not only in the entertainment industry but in life itself. I've always admired him. It was great to watch a conversation and not a contrived interview.

Lol!!! Lynne: "One of us has to stay in touch with the outside world". Bless her.

It's not an interview, it's a conversation. Stop saying that Dustin is narcissistic, they are both talking about their personal experiences to each other. And if you watch to the end, you'll see that Pete takes Dustin's number and tells him he'll take him out somewhere cause he really enjoyed talking to him.

But Pete’s adolescents which sound beautifully, How Pete took on Punk before the Punk Movement of the 70s, Also Pete’s Success and image in the Gender-Bender movement, as well as You Spin Me but not just its success and pros but the cons to it and how it effected Pete. Because it wasn’t peaches in cream in his words, Pete’s success in Japan through the late 80s. I’ve heard some juicy story’s and dreamful story’s about Pete’s time there. Also just how Pete went from Post Punk, Too Rock, Then Pop that’s insane for an artist to have success on in general. Obviously his Lip Augmentation gone wrong, how Pete became a Tv Reality star but again Pete’s take on it which he’s spoke about. And truly just Pete, Pete’s so interesting and it finds me depressed at times to not know that man. Cause I feel like if I just had a simple conversation with Pete. I’d know myself instantly.

Pete's music gave me courage and strength and power. Forever grateful. Keep up the great stuff!!

I’ve recently come to Pete’s music. He seems like an incredible man. Really enjoy seeing him talk with someone who truly appreciates his music.

i think overall this is one of the most insightful interviews into Pete Burns... the person... jus to watch the rhythm of his speech and cognitive conversation is really great... what an intuitive, experienced, and articulate human being he is... his voice was the first that ever stood out to me as a singer and writer... the power, the poise, raw unique and uncompromising delivery made him a beacon for me at a very young age and pivotal point in my growth...

Dustin Robertson is AVIDDIVA, an independent film maker and editor. It's obvious that he is thrilled to meet and chat with Pete Burns. The banter between them gave me a glimpse into both of these artists. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Very entertaining!

Pete burns was an an incredibly brilliant and talented soul. I feel Pete was and still is sorely misunderstood. Sure he could be viper tongued and bitchy, but he could also be quite charming, sweet and personable as well. This interview is tangible proof of that. Pete has always presented himself as very self assured, unpretentious and not at all concerned with social perception. That's what made him the "special star" he was. Although there seems to be more emphasis in the media about his many accoutrements rather than his accomplishments. I always liked Dead or Alive. I was NOT as fond of Pete's sojourn into reality television. I personally am very saddened but not shocked by the rather untimely demise of Pete Burns. I sincerely believe that Pete succumbed to the rigors of excessive plastic surgery. I'm not a doctor, however I do believe Pete's cardiac arrest was a culmination and symptom of that. A full on eccentric and a creative force. Pete Burns gone way too soon. Thanks for your musical legacy and your stylistic genius. You are missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and Micheal and all whom were closest to him.

I couldn't have said it any better. The last thing I thought I would experience when watching this video was 2 honest and genuine people becoming friends. The interview started off rather stiff but I think it was just due to Dustin being a little Starstruck. Very fascinating to watch that two very different appearing man we're so very similar in many ways. It was a very relatable Exchange and really was a pleasure to know that they would be continuing after the interview. I honestly forgot that Pete was no longer with us. That was nice.

This interview made me happy. I miss Pete. 🖤

I relate to Pete so much it's beyond. Someone who is logical and actually makes sense. Also, people do realise this is a conversation, not a one sided interview? Show studio intended it that way...

Love it, love it. When you ask the right questions and show that you're listening, Pete is a wonderful interviewee. Sure, we had to endure a bit of the interviewers personal affairs, but this is so much better than the sterile 'How's your new face?' on most UK TV show interviews.

So sad. 29:36 - Pete talking about his life and influence. "...I hope to live a very long life..." :(

It is lovely to watch Pete just being himself completely unfiltered. You see a real connection mid way through which for the most part isn't there in other interviews with Pete. In this the dialogue flows from both parties. The world is a duller place without his sharp tongued wit :(..

I listened to this interview a long time ago and just revisited it today. I think this is a great conversation. Pete has and always will be a mystery to me. But this gives i alot of insight into what made Pete tick. I had a sister (she also passed a few years back) that also marched to the beat of a different drummer. The world is a bit less bright with them gone, but never forgotten.

RIP, Pete - you're always loved

Pete Burns technically seems 'borderline' personality. But is honest even in pieces of himself. This is biochemical! I can see the depth of his inner struggles, which are real! And yes, he is difficult. And he knows what he is and is unapologetic! How many can admit their strengths and madness and be this way!? This is why I have respect for Pete!

Pete was so nice and sweet on this interview ! Makes me miss him more

I never got the feeling from Pete that he wanted to be a star. I mean, in the desperate, careerist, show-up-for-anything way so many are.

Love this man. Sad I'm only learning of his talent since he passed. Which I had of learnt of his work first time around. I was too young

I loved the conversation on Petes behalf. I think pete opened up alot. Dustin is a total Knob. I understand share your experiences but it's rare pete opens up about alot of stuff including his relationship. Dustin just nodded and "yea right on I was this I was that I I I I I" It's like he brushed Petes convo off "Right on" I'm glad pete put beef cake boy in his place when he said "Right On" and he said "No not right on"

Wonderful 💗 Pete could never be pushed into a box. I admire him in (maybe) a similar way that he admired Quentin Crisp. And funny to think, as a kid I also admired Quentin. Two souls who were true to themselves and lived unapologetically. 💗

this is a great interview. it's one of the few, possibly only, interviews i've seen where they didn't just ask pete questions about you spin me round and cliche questions like that. pete is genuinely engaged and not as defensive as he normally is in interviews, due to being annoyed by the questions. he's relaxed and interested. great interview.

I love this. Hearing his voice is perfect. And you are amazing. It's hard getting him to open up like this 🖤

So many contradictions in what Pete is saying , BUT , for me the Music is what made him special to me !! A legacy we should all be grateful for - for me the Music transcends everything else - about Pete ... I heard the 12" of Misty Circles and was hooked !! Still am today in 2024 !

i absolutely love this interview!!!! i watched it for the first time in july of last year (2021) and since then i watch it a lot, over and over

As much as i love Pete and his music, it seems weird that he could be a pop,singer but doesn't like to tour and perform his songs as the fans want to hear them. Of course he can do whatever he likes. But he really is a true solid person- wud love to have him for a friend or even a co-worker. And i wud love to write a song for him!
