When I met the guy in Paris, I was in my Massive Attack and Tricky period. And that time he was so nice to me for no reason that, instantly, I felt a very deep respect for both the musician and the human being he is. A true artist.

"The whole fashion thing is a bit too much." I think I love Tricky even more.

Nearly 40 now and Tricky has always been important to me, through my post-punk, goth, metal days. Maxinquaye has outlived my walkman, discman, mini-disc and even my mp3 players.

I read a great interview with Tricky years ago when the British hip hop artist Goldie had a really beef with Tricky for some reason (iirc Tricky had shagged Goldie's gf). One evening Tricky went into a club and Goldie was there. Goldie demanded Tricky to go outside so they could sort it out man-to-man. Tricky refused to go out, telling the interviewer that he's lover, not a fighter and, anyway, he didn't want to ruin the wedding dress he was wearing! Tricky got his revenge on Goldie with his song "Tricky Kid", from his phenomenal (and fantastically titled) album "Premillennium Tension", that have the lyrics: Knock out ya gold fronts That one fronts Braggin' on your stunts Coke in ya nose Knock out ya gold fronts Which were directed at Goldie. Lesson: don't annoy Tricky cause he will ridicule the best way he knows how; in song.

Tricky is a mad genius... one of the greatest creators of music in the world today. I buy every album he puts out and he's still got it.

He has unique and fascinating features. At times he looks ugly, at times handsome, at times both at once. An ugly face with a beautiful soul that shines through.

Tricky's an incredible ARTIST. Beautiful, Ugly, Violent, Tender, Prophetic...these are a few words that spring to mind when I think about his ART. I've seen him on many occasions starting way back in Bath, and then in the mid 90's at Glastonbury. He had this huge Bass Drum, it hypnotised us; the slow rhythmic beat that was so loud, hypnotic OMINOUS.There were so many people; never thought I'd seen so many people entranced..and this drum...it mesmerised us like sirens to the shipwrecked.

Saw Tricky live at The Fillmore in SF in early 2000s. Absolute knock out punk hip hop acid trip show. Incredible. One of the best live shows I've ever experienced. So much respect for him as an artist.

Brother Tricky you are a freaking inspirations for all the musicians out there looking for their own sound.

A genuine human being with genuine talent.

Man, some people just radiate humanity and dignity...Tricky’s one of those humans.

This guy is so humble, he probably doesn't even know what an incredible inspiration he is and the influence his music has on the alternative scene. Brilliant guy!

i 've watched that show of Tricky and Marta for Arte. and i see that pain in him. so sorry for his loss

I love his vision of music, a true artist! Nice interview

Great interview. His last album is just awesome, it's great to have Tricky back on good form again.

John Doran is one of the best, most knowledgable interviewers out there. Musicians and artists love him.

"he's slightly insane… great guy, though" lmao

Great interview. He's so brilliant.

Tricky is fascinating. Had the pleasure of listening to Maxinquaye after some time and my god, its astonishing. His vision was warped AF yet beautiful, original and a little scary. you listen to something like the XX and you realize its maxinquaye scrubbed free of all the odd bits. & hip hop is just catching up to this weirdo.

I try to stay away from Tricky interviews, but this was simply beautiful. Tricky holds a special place in my heart and this short window into his mind hit the intimated highlights I was hoping for. Sad the interviewer was ignorant towards referencing the overall” trip-hop” movement that Tricky helped perpetuate.

Great down to earth interview, good job lads.

Cheers! It's a pleasure to meet artists of such a high calibre...

Top bloke

I was @ Oshega this weekend working with K-OS... Tricky was hangin' out opposite our rider in the artist tent but we never crossed paths...He played @ the same time we were on...he's an amazing artist/gentleman. great interview!

great stuff ,, glad to discover your interviews

I love the candor! Great interview. I'm a long time tricky fan and I'll certainly check the new stuff now.

love him....lucky enough to see him live...he is a legend and even if you do not dig his music per se'.....you must know what a genius he is musically....and the respect he has from many.

Just rewatched 5th element...gah, I miss him! How exciting it was blasting "maxinquaye"! Great interview!

John Doran is a breath of fresh air,thoughtfull questions and no troweling on the compliments with ego maniacs.Not even a whiff of bullshit.Tricky has done the time to write the real sea shanties always interesting.

this guy gave me a kiss on the cheek. i was so flattered

Got to see him with a perfect circle. Before that I had never heard of him. What an awesome guy tricky is. Mad love for you from the USA!

Fantastyczny materiał! Dziękuję !

Thanks, great to see Tricky

I once met him and naturally bowed because Tricky, he bowed back, I was amazed! Beautiful man, much love.. my heart brakes to think about your lost, brother 😢

love this dude. he is so comfortable in his skin! fav: from False Idols - 'Nothing Matters'

Tricky is probably one of the most down to earth straight talking guys in the music industry. Absolutely fearless

Tricky is awesome. Thanks for reminding me to keep him my mix.

What a talent this man is...huge respect!!!

Tricky is a super master! I have always admire his work.

Maxinquaye and Pre-Millenium Tension, are one of the best trip-hop albums. I haven't got out that much off his later work. Wasn't as gritty, and dark (IMO), but False Idols, was like a comeback to early days of Bristol sound, and was the only "post-Pre-Millenium" album I liked. Although, his music is polarizing (for me, some albums I love, and some albums i can't stand) , as a person, he's great, calm guy. Would be fun chatting with him.

"porch reekin girl"

That closing remark all the more heartbreaking now. Big up Tricky, an out and out legend in the music game.

Just finished the Fifth Element and had to listen to him more

Dayum Tricky and Kurt Cobain would've made some sick music.

god... Martina singing Overcome... one of my all time favorite performances.

Best one I've seen of these.

Love You TRICKY!!!

Tricky is my hero. Maxinquaye and now False Idols are masterpieces !

Tricky is beyond awesome. The interview guy is amazing too.

So eloquent and charismatic!

He's lovely. A great interview. And I echo 45ounce, what a sound bloke! Still listen to him to this day. Frequently.

Down to earth is this man love him and his art

this is still relevant 6 years later... but whenever someone judges music as a whole, they're really just judging the mainstream. The underground scene, where all music genres find their origins, is never as conservative.

I always admired these British guys styles

what a lovely chap

what a great interview

Tricky is an awesome artist* I'm a young cat, and even as a younger cat, always have loved this artist.

One of the strongest artists to breakthrough during the mid-90's in electronic music, for sure.

I could listen to Tricky talk for days...

I like this guy.

amazing!

He shook my hand!!

Tricky - lots of wisdom, authentic!

Class album. Class guy

seems so nice!

the idea of Kurt singing Tricky's lyrics just gave me massive goosebumps. Because I'm old. I remember him killing his career on Night Network with the 'I only care about money' interview. Martina Topley Bird singing his songs is one of the greatest things ever. Also he sampled Portishead about five minutes before they released the song.
