These guys are so fun to watch. They are down to earth, close to each other, and family oriented. The four brothers were so talented in so many ways. I love Robin's voice the most. I also love all their personalities. Rest In Peace Mo and Robin. You are truly missed by your fans. ❤️🌹❤️
They are/were the most talented 3 men when it comes to singing and songwriting that the modern era has ever seen. To think they can’t read or write music, other then create it, in itself is a testament that no other performer/S can put on their resume. They are simply musical geniuses. I challenge anyone, whether they like their music or not to disagree. To hold the records and awards that they hold both collectively and as individuals is nothing short of pure greatness. What an astonishment, particularly in the music business. And to think that Barry is still making number one’s in his ‘70’s, is amazing. It’s just so sad that tragedy has struck this family in the way that it has. Keep the legacy going Barry, heaven only knows that you and your late brothers more than deserve it.
This is how to do an interview. Have charm, ask good questions, and show respect. Some interviewers think they need to be “edgy” or ask needlessly hurtful questions to sound relevant. Couldn’t be further from the truth.
Bert, a great interview of the Bee Gees. You truly brought out the best in them with your genuine Compassion. The boys felt very comfortable with Bert. Australia is very proud of the time we had the Bee Gees on our shores. Great Compassion for Andy.
@@kthor Robin might’ve been neglectful, and Barry said he wished they hadn’t sent Andy to live with Robin, they really didn’t want to, but Andy was a grown man with his own mind. I know from experience how futile and impossible it is to have to look after a grown, willful man, who probably didn’t appreciate being told what to do and feeling like people were trying to control him. No one could watch him all the time. So there may have been neglect, but I could see that being possibly a defense mechanism. You get to the point where you just have to give up, let it go, say, it’s your life, your choice, you don’t get to destroy my health (due to stress).
@@BGWhisperer Yes, to a certain extent, I agree. But Andy was at Robin's to finish writing & recording an album, because it was close to Island Records in London. That's the ONLY reason he was there, as no record labels in the US would sign him. And he didn't start drinking until he developed writers block, after telling Robin & their mom he was struggling. He was there for over a month before he started drinking, which is what he ended up turning to. He had a good start after writing and recording 4 songs with Barry & Mo in Miami. And Robin knew that's EXACTLY why Andy was there, as he certainly wasn't there to visit or sightsee. Especially when he would've rather gone back to Miami after the holidays with Barry & Mo, but he knew he had to stay close to Island Records. Think that's one of the things Barry's had the hardest time forgiving Robin for, for not helping their little brother when Andy REALLY needed him.
Lovely tribute Barry is a Great eldest Brother who looked out for his younger twin Brothers as well as Andy I will always love the Gibb Brothers The Bee Gees are the greatest pop Group of Brothers we will never see again bless Barry xx
Robin was cute during his younger days...I think he was very approachable and loving. He had a very nice singing voice.I always want to hear his songs over and over.
The train accident started his demise, led to eventual divorce, very sad, Barry has commented that "the train wreck brought out the pathos in Robin who was never the same". My mentor Derek Prince who's on RU-vid says trauma can cause demonic control. Heartbreaking 💔😥
One of the best "talk show" interviews I've seen for them. Very touching moment for Andy there and it was nice to see Barry in the "big brother" role...nicely handled by the host.
The interviewer was nice. He made sure the attention was spread as equally as possible between the brothers. What’s also sad is Barry you can tell especially was trying to hold back as much utter sorrow while talking about Andy. Barry’s made it clear that he was the brother he vibed with the best was Andy. And Andy as a musician basically idolized Barry. He probably knew it too and it fed their brotherly love for one another. I saw in a more recent interview in 2014 that he said he and Andy weren’t getting on when Andy died. Same with him and Maurice when he died and same for him and Robin. I can’t even imagine the pain he’s going through right now being the eldest and the only one still alive and strong. He seems to have truly loved his brothers so much through it all and that’s probably what pains him even more right now. Bless him and RIP to the other three brothers. Now Maurice and Robin are spending eternity hangin out with Andy.
None of them were getting on with Andy. Think Mo's was over business decisions & Robin's affair, as he confessed to Mo about it in 2001. Barry & Mo were on the outs on how to handle it, which is something Robin should've NEVER put on them. And Robin obviously screwed himself when he rewrote & recorded Andy's song (Wish You Were Here), without Barry & Mo knowing. He knew it was wrong, which is why he never asked them before doing it. I think he did it as revenge against Barry, because he knew Barry didn't agree with his affair (he was old enough to be Claire's grandpa) & the stain he was leaving on the Bee Gees.
@@kthor wow I had no idea about all that. I know about Robins affair with the Chinese au pair and Barry comin down hard on Andy the last time they spoke which didn’t help things cuz he was going through another deep depressive spell, but dang didn’t know the rest, that’s crazy.
Maurice, what do you like to do before going to sleep? "Well I think it’s rather personal". Barry response, "Maurice likes to take pictures before going to sleep"!😂
this is the best interviewed i ' ve ever watched...so passionate * the 3 brothers were so honest telling thar that there is guilt 4 not including andy to their group🤗 beegees you will miss 4ever..RIP to andy😥maurice😥& robin😭 to barry just moving on& godbless you🙏🙏🙏
Bert Newton, a professional interviewer! He sincerely knew how to get the best from his guests. I remember one talk show host where they walked out of the show because of the raw and crude questioning and demeanor on the talk show host. Barry stood up very politely while saying goodbye to the audience. Robin followed and Maurice saw what was happening and stood up and was last to follow. I saw the host's face caught off guard and humiliated in front of a live audience.
@@eternalmourning9613 Not true. Barry Gibb always looked out for his brothers, all siblings go through things. That is how life works. He was a wonderful mentor to them and they all 3 looked up to him.
@@dmariegreene Sorry but I disagree. Barry himself had said and more than one interview that when Robin, Maurice, and Andy passed he was in not good terms with any of them. Barry was what today we call a bully. Always talking over Robin Maurice.
@@marielonsdale1765 ‘Not on good terms’ doesn’t mean never getting on for goodness sake. With Andy he had a telephone conversation, he later regretted, using the highly recommended (at the time) ‘tough love’ way of communicating, because of Andys alcohol binging, just before he died. Can you imagine how he felt about that. Barry adored Andy and did everything he could to support him. When Mo passed they were arguing over the planning of a new financial arrangement. I don’t know the details, but it did not mean that Barry and Mo did not really care for each other. AND there are 2 widows who should be very grateful for how well their finances were/are being managed by Barry. With Robin it was all much more complicated - but it is easy to research how many special projects they did together in the last few yrs of Robins life. One statement from Barry doesn’t mean he’s talking about their whole relationship. PLUS it’s typical of the sort of melancholic thoughts someone can express when they are depressed, which Barry has battled with since Mo died, and more so after Robins passing.
This man is a wonderful interviewer he truely brings out the best in interviewing the brothers,he's kind , and conscientious with his questions! Great interview!
You are right he forgot about ESP. I am surpised the guys did not correct him. Anyway what a great interview, I have watched it many times, Robin is so cute and he and Mo are so funny. Thanks for sharing this.. Very nice the way Barry spoke of Andy.
As I watched this video they showed this album. I stopped the video, listened to the album on you tube. Whiles listening I ordered it from Amazon. I can't wait for it to arrive. Then finished watching the video
How very awful for them to have to keep answering questions about Andy. He lived his life his way. They did everything they could. They even staged an intervention!! Stop blaming the family!! Stop blaming Victoria!! It's easy to shift blame, it's harder to put blame to where it belongs, on the addict.
Estou vendo a canisa de Barry e emnrando de uma entrevista,onde sua mãe dzia ter passado 48 camisas d Barry ele gostsva que os colarinhos fiicassrm brm engomados.Orgsmnizado,detalhista um Super-Estar!❤️🤍🌟
Oooo Robin!! He just sparkles. Every time I watch him he makes me squeal. But it's nice being a squealy Robin mess. :D He's worth it. Couldn't adore you any more than I do Beautiful Robin! x
Robin, less vegetarian and more protein meals including meat would have done better for you, i guess! I don't know why you aged so quickly in your mid-40s and 50s, but that macrobiotic cuisine of yours might have been a decisive factor. You were such a cutie end of 60s up to the 80s!
Of all of the brothers I always thought Rob kept his youthful looks. He's always looked younger than his brothers, including Andy. Rob aged Jan 12, 2003. He aged about 10 years in about a years time. Watching this in real time, not knowing the outcome with the benefit of YT was tough and heart wrenching.
@@kl3620 In a way you are right. But check out Robin's look in the Bee Gees' "Live by Request" performance. Something was plainly going wrong even before Mo's death. He looked miserable and in (moral/physical?) pain.
Louisa Ti To be honest, you don't if I'm correct nor do you know if you're correct. I don't have access to Rob's medical records so I can't say. To my knowledge, Rob was not ill before Mo died. Sheesh! I can only go by what was stated in the press and from watching real time. Unlike you I didn't have the luxury of YT to watch Rob's life unfold. I came to the party early and I stayed until the end of the Bee Gees and I'm still at the Barry party. It's funny how people come late to the party and proclaim they know all because they've read a book. It's an excellent book but life isn't learned in a book, nor do I think their personal business should be speculated on YT. There was so much more to them. Open your eyes and take off the blinders... you just may see it. I'm not one that believes Rob wrote all of the lyrics, still wonder where you got that from. It certainly isn't in the book that you're reading. Robin was extremely talented, many have known this for years, but he doesn't need faux credits assigned to him. Neither does Baz or Mo. It's funny how these newfound Robin fans gush like teenyboppers over his looks but rarely do they discuss his music. Not just his voice, Robin was a hellava writer. You take your Robin fandom across YT, I guess to persuade people just how Robin hung the moon and Barry set it afire, but many of your comments are incorrect and totally skewed. But no worries! You have lots of company. It's funny how the Robin fans remain on Robin pages, they rarely take their fandom to Baz page, and pretty much vice versa. I've said for years that Barry fans = Robin fans, simple algebraic equation. Maybe one day I'll find my rose colored glasses and join the rest of the fanatics. Till then, Mic Drop! Kitty Out!
@@kl3620 To set records straight I was a Bee Gees fan in the late '60s-early '70s period. As for "newfound fans", I bet Barry , and Robin's & Maurice's Estate don't despise them at all! I would be thrilled to learn that my late husband/father still inspire people 15-6 years on from his death. As for the "biography I'm reading"...there's no better one than videos & pictures. They don't lie.
Louisa Ti Yeah, I know you told you were a fan for a while. Of course their estates and Baz would welcome new fans, no one said they didn't. If this is what you got from my post, well, sorry, I didn't study psychology. Anyway, happy YTbing. Good day!
You must not have heard about Robin Gibb tracing their ancestry back to Scotland. They sometimes (at family gatherings like weddings) wear their Kilts. They've embraced it; as Barry embraces his former Miss Edinburgh wife....
NONE of these nationalistic labels can contain them. They are for everyman everywhere. They have captured the human ecstasy, agony, grief and celebration and dug deep into our psyches beyond labels. I ah-dore them and only wish I was astute enough in those years to have attended their concerts. They beckon to me still, and when Barry publishes his next tour, I think I will travel just about anywhere to attend it. It will be one of the highlights of my life. Magnificent beings all.
Baz and Mo will claim Oz as home when they're there but Rob has never claimed Oz as home. He didn't even claim the U.S. as home. None of them has ever gone back to live, not even a vacation home. But they have/had homes in England, and of course England was Rob's primary home.
