I LIKE YOUR CAR CRASH MUSIC JOHN FOXX ! ! !👍👍👍

Fascinating interview

JOHN FOXX BOUGHT ME DRINKS AFTER I SAW HIM AT THE WEDGEWOOD ROOMS IN SOUTHSE DURING THE EXOTOUR IN 1997, HE WAS VERY DOWN TO EARTH (NO BIG EGO!!!), UNPRETENTIOUS AND JUST A VERY NICE GUY ! ! !👍👍👍

Fantastic stream... thanks to Kevin & Mark who let John Foxx speak without useless interruption ..

Gotta love John Foxx

Hold on...cEvin Key in conversation with John Foxx? Holy shit! This is FANTASTIC! Two of my biggest influences together.

Thank you, thank you and thank you Dennis... Now I have a new way to describe the majority of current popular music... "FORMICA"!

This was the most enjoyable 2hrs I've ever spent on RU-vid. Three artists whom I admire greatly but I was there for Dennis tbh. First album I ever bought in 1980 was Ultravox!

The Great John Foxx! when we were at school we used to sing along to Underpass shouting out "Underpants". It was and still is a song with great energy and it was years before I realized it was about post war pre cast concrete Britain and the loss of soul. Forging his own path back then and remaining true to this today!

...stumbled across this excellent interview...he mentions getting his forehead split open with a bottle, saying it probably happened at the Redcar Coatham Bowl.....It was actually at the Mayfair Ballroom in Newcastle where this happened...(ln January 1978) I know cos I was there!..I remember Foxx taunting the audience after the drinks/bottles started flying during Rockwrock, the 2nd song (the audience, apart from a few punks consisted mainly of heavy rock fans into Lynrd Skynrd and the like!), telling them that he could see the cobwebs hanging off every glass being thrown at them!...I remember him also telling them that not only were the band intent on finishing their set but they would be doing an encore too!..When the glass hit his forehead it was as if a red curtain came down over his face..nasty..!...I was fortunate enough to see Ultrafoxx twice more..at Reading festival in 1978 where they had the unenviable task of following Sham 69, after the riot..(!!) and also at the Middlesborough Rock Garden in September 78.I was there for the sound check...which was Gary Glitter!!

I've been following John for the last 40 years in parallel with his greatest fan, a certain Gary Numan. I've met John a few times and he's a gentleman. Signed a couple of paintings when I met up with him a Aascot in Belgium. At the Roundhouse in London he even called out good evening in Flemish as he spotted 2 Belgian flags.

Damn this was awesome !!! Metamatic is legendary as are John’s Ultravox albums pure classics !!!

eXCELLENT MAN

After 1:30 mentioned Hawkwind, my 1st experience at Wyvern theatre Swindon, how electronic music is connected, Hawkwind uses variations of electronic music, guitars and so on .

Hmmm ... wondering what was so intimidating about *Ultravox!* ... maybe it was Warren's trousers on the album cover.

I was at the Rock Garden in 78 and my clearest memory was the song Blue Light with a stobe and the electric violin. Fantastic night and still one of my favourite gigs.

The Boro , is a madhouse . I live there , Best to keep yourself to yerself

One of my heroes :) Would love to see a collab between John and cEvin :)

This was so fantastic, Thank you!!!!

That was an excellent interview, lots of great detail.

1:31:55 The Pearl I totally agree and so strange all this great artists are slowly slipping away from this earth.

EXCELLENT SHOW GREAT INTERVIEW CHEERS CEVIN .

Thank you for this great interview with John. I loved the way John talked about the futurism evoked by the sound of The Shadows' electric guitar in the 1960s (even though the instrument has lost much of that sense of strangeness now). While Apache is a great track, it's the cover by Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band that is probably even more well known, due to its classic drum break, which has been sampled thousands of times in hip hop and jungle drum and bass - super funky and bouncy

cEvin Key is legend! Wax Trax!

hope to be on soon... great stuff. ~DJ Myk World

I knew Dennis and Russell Mills.

“Knights Electric” is available on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uD_LFh0sflg.htmlsi=V0l_eFglV3yzfgpq John Foxx also contributed the soundtrack for the Michelangelo Antonioni film “Identification of a Woman” (1982).

💜💙

John Foxx: "I'm trying to remember how *My Sex* came to me," then proceeds to recount an origin story that no one could possibly forget.

Wow... 2 electronic music heavy weights. Kinda surprised Cevin didn't ask his take on SP from mid-80s. ;-)
