David Coscina 3 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I am actually surprised but pleasantly. Props to Zimmer. And yes, i do see the irony in me posting something about Zimmer seeing that I just lambasted Koray for doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,042 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm not surprised. Zimmer has expressed his respect for John Williams before. I believe there's an interview in which he says Williams is a far better action writer than he is, for instance. But still good to hear again...although perhaps not for the part of his fanbase that thinks no other composer can hold a candle to Zimmer. Luckily, I come from a far more moderate crowd that can enjoy some of the man's work without denying its weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an arrogance!The Hans Zimmer I know would say that he isn't a real composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 While I'm not a huge fan, Zimmer always seems to come across very likeable in interviews.What an arrogance!What daring! What outrageousness! What insolence! What arrogance!... I salute you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I agree! I liked him when he said to Ridley Scott, "Who, me? No, no, you need a REAL composer for a movie like this!" I don't think Zimmer places himself in the same league as the legends. Let's face it, Zimmer is a little more rational than his fanboys.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Why are you surprised? I think you'd be hard pressed to find any successful composer in the industry who doesn't deeply respect Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 An epic, haunting, sweeping interview. Zimmer's praises are the work of a master. It's Zimmer at the top of his game, and nobody else can rival him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Zimmer would drunkenly end up putting one of his cd's on in light protest and Mark would eventually end up saying something like "y'know -hic- ...this ain't bad actually -hic-... turn that power anthem up to 11 -hic-..." The two of them dancing into the early hours... to the Going for Gold theme.I'd put money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? He's already drawn the most interesting man in the world on an island, so the hard part would be drawing so many bottles of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
