We thousands upon thousands in the Philippines agree…..no spewing of anything personal…it is all about their brand of music that sounds enduring and endearing….
Met Neil Tennant in a record company press office when he worked for the old pop mag, Smash Hits. I remember him saying he’d formed a band. I was thinking, “Oh yeah, you, me, and every other wannabe. “What’s it called?” He said “The Pet Shop Boys.” And I’m thinking, yeah that’ll work. 🙄 But he made it happen, wrote some great songs, and is still going strong decades later. Hats off to him. 👍
So true. An interview with them encompasses great music, a laugh, and a history lesson all in one. I feel smarter after hearing a chat with Mr. Tennant. Such a literate and brainy fellow, and terrific songwriter to boot.
They are simply the best. Neil and Chris are just genius. Their sound is totally unique, it’s the chord progressions as Neil said and the great melodies they construct. Huge fan for 40 years. Thanks for posting.
The Petshop Boys were at record signing party at a Tower Records in Hollywood. I bought a vinyl version of West End Girls just to have them sign it. Great guys!
These two have endured and continued to remain relevant for so long now that they've really entered the very upper echelons of all-time great pop bands. I can't think of but a handful of ahead of them, if that. And Love Is A Bourgeois Construct gets my vote for Pop Song of the 2010's.
Chris' vocal on Paninaro, which he calls minor, happens to be one of my favourite ever PSB moments. Especially the '95 re-record where he sounds so passionate 🥰
Always amazing, innovative and "Never being boring"...I was lucky enough to see them when I was in the UK 1999...I wish you many more fabulous years! Thank you for all the songs I could make memories to in my life, you are an integral part....
Great they are.. Wonderful melodies and witty lyrics. They are part of my long life Music Background. And the latest album is well-crafted. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Now this is a good interview ! These interviewers actually knew what they were talking about. Which helped Chris and Neil engage much more. Loved it. Better than that BBC Live night with that Nuffy interviewer. What a disappointment he was !
That's a cool expression freedom through creativity. Amazing The Pet Shop Boys Neil and Chris still sound very young in their live performances and of course recorded. What strange happenings they have experienced.
I can tell when Chris is nervous interviews he seems OK in this one but when they were on with Jonathan Ross for an interview after it finished he couldn't get off quick enough.. Bless him ❤Chris too bits bless him
Love them but love their older work up to ‘bilingual’ Not keen on the new album. But they’re always interesting conversationalists. Neil’s voice on the record needs some effects as they used to do with his vocals in the early days? But hey, it’s all good!
I don't know, which of them is which, but either Chris or Neil, who was the "Lead Singer" looks like I am now, in my 66th Year. With No Hair. The other guy always wore a cap like he does on here. Great Songs, Great Music from a much different era.
@@John3.16saves I'm just saying that their sound hasn't evolved that much, compared to other bands. It's just my feeling, i don't know every song they wrote, but all those I know sound the same to me.
My god! Why are these tired people still lauded for their stale beats? They made one moderately decent track, one, years ago and here we/they are back again with that same old, reworked tired ol beat.
BACK IN 1987 I HAD PLEASE N ACTUALLY ON CASSETTE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS ALBUMS MET MY FIRST REAL LOVE SAME YEAR IN LEWES HER NAME WAS IS LAURA PERTILE HALF ITALIAN ENGLISH AND OUR SONG WAS THE ONE TITLED.
