Luv the respect they give to Stuart adamson The early scene recognized him as a natural/forceful guitar slinger and he would grow into a great song writer Pure talent God bless stu
Theres no pretence here at all. This is one of the best interviews I've seen of the band. It's more like a friendly chat, Jones is talking to them as equals. Great to see.
I could listen to these 3 for hours. Would love to share some of my stories from Detroit 1974-1979 - Thin Lizzy, Dead Boys, NY Dolls - that's a great one!
As long as you don't keep mentioning Johnny every other sentence like Linda did. Awful woman squeezing every last cent out of the Johnny Ramone name when she was on Jones's show. Her remarks about MickRonson was ridiculous. As for Johnny being one of the most influential guitarist's comedy gold.
Great to hear all these stories from the old days. Golden Age of live music and creativity. Scotland punches above its weight on the world stage. So many great bands.
the mad daddy after hundred others yes the best ever of all times is Steve Howe from YES/ASIA then STEVE STEVENS from Billy Idol then JOSE FELICIANO then Esteban then Frank Zappa AND on!
Just discovered the Jukebox last week and its fantastic stuff. Listening to you talking to your guests about their music is brilliant. Very interesting. Keep rockin it, keep safe and keep washing your hands people. Take care.
Saw simple minds last week & absolutely brilliant, these guys are the real deal, professional & so composed on stage with the crowd in there hands , Charlie on the guitar is again brilliant with Jim’s vocals & stage presence is gold.
Got a feeling that there's going to be plenty of people in Los Angeles an Southern California checking-out The Skids and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and, of course, Simple Minds.
Has jim ever sworn in his live? Does he even know how that works? He is always so nice in interviews, a pure gentleman. Never saw any bad behavior on him... Such sweet bloke.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, never appreciated Simple Minds at the time but fuck me I have loved them later on (sadly my prejudice against 80's bands that weren't punk knew no bounds) Great show Jonesy....
What's so great about this is that it's just as though you're eavesdropping on a personal conversation between these guys, just talking about what matters to them ... they almost forgotten that there's an audience that doesn't know who they're talking about, but that's what makes it more interesting and fun! An insight into their lives.
@@deedonnerramone4757 - At the Michigan Palace, a beautiful old theater. Pretty Things were also on the bill. During the song, Faith Healer, he had a small spotlight he used to shine on the crowd, they booed so loud he turned it off. Detroit can be a tough crowd. I think it was just before they played Vambo and he climbed the ladder to spray paint the wall. Great band, they were spot on musically.
I was scared of alex. Growing up in glasgow he reminded me of all the hard men that were about at that time. Going out on a saturday night was always a bit unpredictable.
SAHB are amazing. Faith Healer is amazing especially the live version. The Cure covered it on the album Kerr and Charlie were talking about. Seen them just as they exploded at Poole on Sparkle In The Rain tour. Definitely an arena band because of their big, expansive sound. 5 number 1 albums in the 80's UK.
I never saw the Pistols. They were suddenly cancelled everywhere before I could. I think I was on the move to get the golden ticket to see them at The Greyhound in Croydon. I think that was the place. So I can actually say that 'I almost saw the Sex Pistols live!'.
Really like The Who and love The Kinks, but credit where it's due, The Stones are the best rock n roll band ever. They've kept updating and reinventing the same thing for 55 years, they're just the best, no question.
I always thought Charlie Burchill was one of the greatest guitarists of the 70’s punk era and beyond. Look up Johnny and the Self Abusers or early Simple Minds demos
I still have the original saints n sinners single johhny and the abusers released, funnily enough they split up on the day it was released and half become the minds the other half become the Cuban Heels.
@@johnnyblunder Me too, I love the bizarro cover art as well. I used to have a cool 12” bootleg of it that suggested it was made in Greece of all places but I’m pretty sure that my crazy girlfriend friend tossed it out in the streets 25 years ago!!!
'Allo, you're listening to Jonesy's Jukebox. Wiv me in the studio are Jim Kershaw and Charlie Burchwell of The Simple Minds. 'Allo, boys! ...Who are you exactly, where do you live, do you like football, and do you know Richard Jobson? Joining me next week will be Roger Walkers and Dave Gaylord of The Keith Floyd when hopefully no one will be topping themselves. There's a lotta that about! See ya.
Not to nit pick, but there is no "the" in the band's name. Well, OK, unless you call them by their original name; Johnny and The Self Abusers. Otherwise, it's just Simple Minds.
Love Simple minds. Sorry, but The Rolling Stones were making hits when The Who were not even thought of. When in the prime, nothing compared to The Rolling Stones live- and even The Who have said that. Daltry called The Stones the best ever. Anyway, Great interview Jonesy !
majorsmythe1 The Detours (Early Who) shared a similarity circuit to the early Stones. The Stones were higher up on the totem pole but they weren't that far behind each other.
When you start to list all the bands inspired to just pick up an instrument ans 'ave a go' because of seeing or hearing The Sex Pistols you have a very long list and us music lovers would have missed out on hearing so much great material !
