I didn't want the songs from the film played out of context.
#TIM ROBBINS TOP GUN SCENE MOVIE#
When I worked on my 1992 movie Bob Roberts the studio wanted me to release a soundtrack. "One paper ran an article written by a psychiatrist where he analysed my music. I was thinking of calling it The Mid Life Crisis Album, it was said as a joke but US tabloids took it seriously. He revealed: "One US newspaper wrote I'd made the record as a response to my break-up. But Tim and Susan stunned Hollywood when they split last December. The couple have two sons, Jack, 21, and Miles, 18. In 1988, Tim began a 21-year relationship with actress Susan Sarandon, 63, when they met on the set of the film Bull Durham. Hal said, 'We can do this, make this work'." I asked him to be completely honest - brutally frank - about what he heard. I recorded a 15-song demo and played it to Hal.
I didn't want them to just lie in my notebook. "I wanted to get my songs down so my son, who is a musician, could hear them. I reached a moment where I thought, 'am I going to do this or not?' He said: "I've always written poetry and lyrics but it wasn't my ambition to make a record. Tim's impressive debut album features new single You're My Dare and was recorded in London with producer Hal Willner. So I just pray in Scotland I can live up to their expectations." It's a pretty generous thing people do when they make the choice to come see a movie, play or music concert. I always assume people sitting there waiting to see me have spent their last dollar getting to the theatre. In my theatre company - The Actors' Gang - one of the things I constantly talk about when training young actors is to have respect for the audience. "I will approach every concert in that way. Your reputation means nothing on that day. But I kinda feel that way every time I walk on a movie set or a stage. Tim said: "If I get nervous at Oran Mor that is the challenge. He's only too aware the trail of actors-turned-rock stars is littered with casualties including Clint Eastwood, Keanu Reeves, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Telly Savalas and William Shatner. His debut album Tim Robbins And The Rogues Gallery Band is outstanding - reflecting influences from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan to Leonard Cohen.
The 51-year-old Hollywood star denied his music project is the result of any midlife crisis.
#TIM ROBBINS TOP GUN SCENE CRACK#
That's all I ask, I just want a fair crack of the whip." The way I look at it is, if anyone comes to see me play I feel tremendously grateful they have enough faith to give me a shot. "I will try my very best not to be run out of Glasgow. "Are you trying to make me nervous?" said Tim, relaxing at home in Venice Beach, California. The audience at the venue will all know Tim Robbins the actor but they'll have paid to see Tim Robbins the singer. I tell Tim respect earned performing in movies such as Mystic River, The Shawshank Redemption, The Player and Arlington Road will count for nothing when he takes the stage at Oran Mor on October 2. So when the Oscarwinning US star elicits my opinion on his plan to launch his new music career in Glasgow, I reckon it's best to shoot from the hip. TIM ROBBINS has built his reputation on great acting and straight talking.
