Howard Jones is one of my favorite singers of all time. So him in concert last back in the late 1990s. He came out and he played all the instruments by self, there was no one else and he did a wonderful job. Is truly a one-man band.
@@usatennisproffThank you for your encouragement. I really appreciate your love and support towards me and my career. Am not often here but i will make it up to you
Agreeed, as good as he did he should have done better so under appreciated he changed the synth sound into his own and produced completely new way of his own, how this guy didn't not only get a number 1 but quite a few number 1s He has so many great hits that although did well should have done better than they already did The keyboard wizard
I've heard this song for most of my life. I've listened to Mr. Howard since the 80s, but I just never knew it was him singing this song. What a surprise!
What a performance! I've been fortunate enough to see him perform live on many occasions. Three festivals (one of which I met him, although I was a little drunk, wearing a pink t shirt with stickers on my niplles and beer stains and he was still such a gent), his Revolution of The Heart tour (managed to have a brief chat with Robin Boult at that one. What an awesome guitarist) and my personal favourite at Queens Hall near to where he grew up. It was a tiny, intimate 120 seater venue and I was sat about 10 feet away from him. He did the whole set with just one keyboard and was phenomenal. It was also his first ever public performance of Ordinary Heroes. It was Howard who inspired me to start learning piano again after a 20 year gap and also the inspiration to me taking on music production as a hobby. My first piano solo piece was also Howard inspired as I started it with the last chord of Hide & Seek. I hope that one day I can inspire at least one person to learn to play music, in the way he has for so many others.
Another great performance...love Howard to bits...love his shirt as well!! LOL He's such a professional musician to say the least!! We were all blessed the day he was born!!!

Always loved him s voice and songs, he's always been a one man band. I saw him play in Chicago about 22 years ago. He still looks good and Is as fabulous as ever.
@@michelleoquendo73Thank you for your encouragement. I really appreciate your love and support towards me and my career. Am not often here but i will make it up to you
I loved the way he respects his song. There are many others that just destroy their songs because they found so called wisdom that makes them change the way they play music. I don't want to mention names (sting)
Should be called "Ride Your Metal Trains" so that its easier for me to google!! Howard tops all his songs with this pure gold 80's beat, everyone hit the dance floor
Un gran tema el cual me trae muchos recuerdos en aquella etapa escolar. la cancion a mi parecer la mejor version en 12 inch por el toque del sintetizador digno de la epoca en todo su apogeo por los grupos en este genero. diste un buen punto con este video Saludos
Now more than ever, I beg everyone...please be open...Howard said it 40 years ago...come on I've been waiting for so long To come here now and sing this song Oh Don't be fooled by what you see Don't be fooled by what you hear, whoa This is a song to all of my friends They take the challenge to their hearts Challenging preconceived ideas Saying goodbye to long standing fears Don't crack up Bend your brain See both sides Throw off your mental chains
Looking for some throwback Howard Jones? Check out this exclusive interview from 1998 (trust us, you HAVE to see the fashion): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Xbmoa6OpvE.html What is your favorite Howard Jones song?
every time i see this i break out my old Vynil Copy (howard as many others were a big influence on my own music when i did stuff using the Commodore Amiga) , love this
Ryan Darbyshire Listen: I was in class and I had to fart really badly. I couldn’t hold it so I struggled but successfully let it out silently. Much to my surprise - and to my abject horror - I shit my pants. It was this gooey warm stuff with the consistency of mayonnaise and it went up and down into my butt crack. And to make it all worse, it smelled REALLY bad and really strong, like baby shit, like rotten eggs, and it wafted all around the room. So I just figured “what the fuck” and I just pissed my pants, too. Then I dropped that class.
Absolute LEGEND. Spiky hair of the 80s toned down. Nevertheless still a tour de force. Everytime I see Howard Jones, I get transported to my school days in the 1980s where Top Of The Pops was King. Thank you Howard Jones for being THAT TIME MACHINE.
Spiky hair toned down, the baggies are gone, and the dancer who used to perform with him is conspicuous by his absence. But Howard is still Howard and he is, was and always will be a very talented gentleman.
what a song... amazing.. though I hope those stood around learn to loosen up and go with the flow a bit more.. just the lass behind the bar jigging away! hehe
God those modern synths sound so thin compared to the old analogue gear he originally used, they might be more reliable but not a patch on the old stuff eh, the guy is still great though, at least he sounds authentic 👍🏻
SlowBloke Since i wrote that comment i also realized on the album that i'm listening to at the moment he used a lot of DX7 as well which obviously isn't analogue but still sounds a lot better than the new gear he's playing here, of course some if it is down to the way it's been recorded but that Bass line on what is Love sounds fantastic. I liked the sound of Human's Lib that much i just bought a couple of DX7's to put in my studio 👍
@@rhiannonstudios we have similar tastes. That bass line sound is probably my fav synth sound ever :) dx7 could be horribly tinny in the wrong hands (very much a classic in the right hands ofcourse) but even in the wrong hands that sounded better than the stuff we get today imo
I totally agree. I have analogue and digi. synths, I use daws and vsts. But this wasn't the essence of Howard jones that I remember. Seeing a macbook running Ableton on every setup, including Howards made me feel really sad. I KNOW tech moves on, but HJ was a huge influence on me during my teen years. i'm still chasing a Jupiter 8, if I can find someone to buy a kidney. While I would have loved to see this performance using the original gear and sequencers, I guess it comes down to practicality. I get my live analogue, sequenced fix these days from Kebu.
Look at you two idiots spewing the usual nonsense. The patches sound fine. People are actually performing here. Try lugging around and performing with a JP-8 and MSQ-700 and see where it gets you. I dare you. Oh, right. By bad. You don't perform at all.
im not sure,but on the album version the congas are ev. from the roland 808...but like i said,im not sure. the rest maybe Drumulator,Oberheim Dmx or Linn drum????
LtdBoomer Congas definitely not from an 808 because they are sampled. Could be from an Emu Drumulator because it was used extensively on this album and in this song.
+Apollo Zero Emu Drumulator. I remember reading a comment that Howard Jones brought had to take an older Drumulator on tour to play his Human’s Lib material. The keyboard, of course, was a Roland Jupiter-8 (there was even a picture of a JP-8 on the single’s cover)
