I never saw him as patronizing and disrespectful. That is unless you put artist and celebrity on a pedestal where you think the common rabble shouldn't be asking certain questions. If he were to come up to me and asked me all of these really interesting questions that he really shouldn't know to ask I would be flattered I would be like how the hell does this guy know all this about me... But I've always wanted to be asked...

His newer videos are probably okay, but his 90s interviews have questions like "do you still want to commit suicide?" [1], "from my research I got rumors that you slept with such and such person..." [ibid.], "there is a rumor that your cock is shaped like a soup can" [2] etc. How is this respectful, appropriate, relevant? He's also plain rude with the artists he dislikes for some reason. See Beck [3] or the Strokes. He often interrupts people and doesn't let them answer his questions. If the goal is to break the interviewee, there are more clever and subtle ways to do that.
