I got to meet Ron and Russ when they played Norman,Oklahoma on the " Sparks In Outer Space " tour. They played a club on a weeknight when there were finals the following day ( college town ) and there were,maybe,30 people there. I have been a fan since 1972 and they were very friendly and appreciative of my small band of fellow fans. They signed things and took photos with us...and then Ron drove them away in a station wagon. Yes I'm serious.

Sparks will always have a special place in my heart, because they were the first band I ever saw live, as they were the opening act for Nektar, at the Capitol Theater, in Passaic NJ in 1976, when I was 15. All I remember was the weird guy at the piano on the left, and being fascinated by how the spotlights worked. After Sparks left, they rolled down a movie screen and showed a couple of Three Stooges shorts before the main act, to the delight of the audience. I thought for a while that all concerts had Three Stooges films in the middle.

In interviews about "The seduction of Ingemar Bergman" they actually told about the likeness between themselves and what people "had dangled in their faces" through the years, and the situation they put Bergman into. The important thing is that they never did sell themselves to "the devil". They've been looking around, but not really crossed the line.

I can agree on that all three of them have a little "Asian" looking eyes, though, that's all. However, in a real documentary on living people you shouldn't have to have people ACTING whom ever the documentary is about. In my opinion. It doesn't look trustworthy to me. Anyway, the Mael brothers are very pleased with what Wright accomplished.

You feel better about 'A Steady Drip Drip Drip', I asume? 😁😍
Ron giving off Vincent Price vibes here...
Ron has a very soothing voice... zzz
I love Sparks. Russell seems to be pretty stoned in this interview.😂
Ron looks like Mortimer Wheeler.
best band ever
Thanks for the heads up, but Ron only seems to speak in this song. I was hoping to hear him sing...
awh cut short!!
Wow, not ony the Mael brothers but interviewed by Richard Jobson, very cool.
No part two??
Sparks, john foxx, bill nelson...I feel similar about in a special sense
that's a play ground I'd like to visit
Its clear that the interviewer is just asking generic questions after having read some sort of press release. But its kinda sad (but in truth good) to hear the Maels admitting to having succumbed to the sirens of "selling out" in some way. :(

In interviews about "The seduction of Ingemar Bergman" they actually told about the likeness between themselves and what people "had dangled in their faces" through the years, and the situation they put Bergman into. The important thing is that they never did sell themselves to "the devil". They've been looking around, but not really crossed the line.
Wow, I never realized Bruce Forsythe was a Scot!
mysterious keyboard man....
interviewed by the ultimate tacky tiger lol brilliant
These two brothers already looking old by the mid 90’s . Shit born in the 1940’s does makes you older in the 20th century
Ron Mael is The Scatman
Hey Mon looks like Jobo?
@TheJimbarnes THEY'RE (ahem) from Los Angeles.
his voice contralto rememb me our Anneli van Rooyen of South Africa
Aggressive with Richard jobson ..a new show.
@paolder Apparently they love and is influenced by British music.
just a blinding band!
You didn't let Ron talk for a long time
In these time's! Are you daft? This was 1996! LMAO
Ron and Russell suit the nautival look.
richard jobson with an american twang?!
the sissor sisters are alot like sparks i think!
We know who the talkative one is here.
DID GIRL FROM GERMANY?
@degree7 Me too! Or another heavy European accent of some sort haha
If the Gallagher brothers can have a docu film made about them then so can the Maels. Benedict Cumberbatch can take time off from Sherlock and Doctor Strange and play Ron.

As you maybe know, a documentary is recorded by Edgar Wright.

Why should Cumberland play Ron?? 1. I don't think so, but I have understood by comments on KZread that some people think RUSSELL and Cumberland look alike?! But Ron? I can agree on that all three of them have a little "Asian" looking eyes, though, that's all. However, in a real documentary on living people you shouldn't have to have people ACTING whom ever the documentary is about. In my opinion. It doesn't look trustworthy to me. Anyway, the Mael brothers are very pleased with what Wright accomplished.
Just a little quirky .... hilarious, talented ... but damn quirky!
I never heard Ron’s voice before and I think the voice doesn’t match the man do you know what I mean?

I think it matches the man well, perhaps not the man you assume someone with that looks to be. But what a contrast to Russell's😁, well used at 'Pineapple' and 'Bummer'.

No.
What eloquent individuals. It helps when you're interviewed by an intelligent individual rather than a 'diversity bot'.
Whomp that sucker is my favourite sparks album. Love all the songs on it.
