The Psychedelic Furs - Richard Butler Interview 1987 

Thanks for commenting, you were lucky to have seen and met them.

One of my all time favourite bands. Lucky to have seen the Furs many times, thanks to John Ashton kindly putting my friend and I on guest lists for a number of small shows they did in Sydney in the 80's. Amazing band live and they still do great shows. Nice guys all of them. Remain grateful to John for his kind gesture. Tim showed me over his bass at the Manly Vale hotel. Very down to earth guy. They had the drummer from the Birthday Party playing with them on that tour and Anne (RIP) on Cello. It was an odd tour given all the venues were relatively small. Also saw them at Enmore theatre in Sydney about 10 years ago. Another great show. Only me waiting at stage door after show which felt odd. They came out to their van and again happy to chat very approachable. Thanks for all the great music and memories.

Have you seen him lately he's aged quite well. And who the hell is she😄

Yep, didn't care for her "unhealthy" comment. He looks great...

Yes reading her questions which were mostly crap!

@@kitchfairman5043 Umm. She's Paula Yates. Very famous. Ex wife of Bob Geldoff and baby mama of Michael Hutchence

Great hair

Have fun!

Saw them a fourth time this Spring. Truly beautiful!

Yup I can see what you are talking about

Totally! But like a hint of Brad Pitt pretty boy in there too.

i think just very english wait, he isn't welsh, is he ? na brainfart

Thanks for watching and commenting Barbara🙂

I'm straight dude I can honestly say he is much prettier than David Bowie!

She's rubbing herself due to the drugs in her system.

Absolutely 👏🏻

Razor burn on her legs, I guess

Her biscuit

Smack withdrawal

Morphine itch

At one point she's about to start scratching the microphone

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting

Yeah, well, we men have to deal with women like that.

Thanks for watching and commenting Katie-Jo

Wayne...Yes

Im sorry, I do not understand your question.

@@ScottishTeeVee Sorry I wasn't clear. I understood that the "live performance in full....worldwide blocked by the bands record company" referred to the Psychedelic Furs in full so I was wondering if there was any way to access to their live performance. Thanks a lot.

@@alfparadise8670 I understand now. Yes I had uploaded the full performance, but it was totally blocked world wide, bits of the show can be seen on the Psychedelic Furs RU-vid channel, but its not complete. I don't know where else to try and upload the video to in order to share it with others.

What a pity. I really like their music. Do you know how long does their entire performance lasts? Do they sing Run and Run or My Time? Have you seen their 1985 concert in Spain for the Spanish Music TV program La Edad de Oro? Really neat. Thank you.

@@cathsalazar9930 That buggy interviewer is scratching at herself.

That's Paula Yates. Ex wife of Bob Geldof during the time he was setting up live Aid and ex lover of INX frontman Michael hutchence at the time of his death. She died not long after of a heroin overdose. Quite a rock chick and big celebrity here in the UK was Paula and certainly alot more famous than Richard Butler.

That's Paula Yates. She's dead now but believe me alot more famous and more successful than Richard Butler. He would of been very honoured to have been interview by her whilst she was still alive before she died of a heroin overdose. Her ex husbands/lovers were alot bigger Rock stars than Richard Butler. Although knowing Paula she would of probably fucked him after the show 😉

@@Davo-007 that's extremely sad. Teaches me the old rule never judge people till you get to know them a bit. I'm sorry to be callus. Be at peace mam. And again I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. Its just the psychedelic furs are still very highly respected here.

@@lisetteheilman6361 I love the Psychedelic furs myself. They are doing a UK tour soon and I'm hoping to catch them. Just putting the facts right. That interview was on Paula's music show called 'The Tube' A very respected music show in the UK through the 80s, all the great rock bands at the time wanted to be on it and some great bands got discovered on it. Paula would often flirt with the bands whilst interviewing them, just like she is here with Richard Butler, and has she did with Michael Hutchence which led to an affair with him whilst married to Sir Bob Geldof. Michael Hutchence has we know died mysteriously and she committed suicide not long after from a Heroin overdose. You should read about her, she had such a colourful life that came with such a sad ending. Proper Rock & Roll.

Read the video information

@@ScottishTeeVee you got a point there my mad and thank you for pointing this out

Back then it was the thing to do, for bands. Stay in the UK and sell 50,000 albums or go to the USA and possibly sell a million, it was all about money.

Yeah, a couple dozen LA/ US. bands went to Europe to record so they could be Imports cuz there was no alternative section at the record store in the 80s. Sorry kids you missed out!: )

Not "like a junkie." She actually was a heroin user and died from it.

Yeah, same here I often wondered how she got the job, but now Im much much older, I know why.

Nope

Double bleed I think.

hopefully not, but im 99% sure NO...80s metrosexy man. im sure he married an american rock chick

Why would you even ask something like that? He's been photographed and caught on video with several girlfriends from back in the day and he has a daughter now. I don't think gay men would be too jazzed in following those footsteps, do you?...

el el Batel he’s a painter.

Unfortunately she has been dead for 24 years😔

@@ScottishTeeVee I just looked up her bio: Holy Shit.

@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music She was quite a girl😉

@@ScottishTeeVee Have you seen the Penthouse pictures? And what do you think was the real cause of Michael Hutchence's death?
