I was a teen in the early 70's. A lot of my friends were big moody fans Including me. I knew a ton of girls my age that also had a crush on Justin. So much so that those people I grew up with named their first boys Justin....So there are still a lot of Justin's back im home town. :-)
A lot of women in America are in love with Justin. He’s so handsome and he seems like a very nice person. He is also a very talented person. We love his music.
It's really interesting to listen to him in the 1970s and listen to him now. He is really the same! He describes the gigs, the experiences, his opinions, all the same way now as he did 50 years ago. He was very mature young man.
Justin is a great guy, met him years ago he was going into see his mum at the hospital and I was dropping my mum off, we spoke for a while about music and then him and his wife went in with my mum, a moment I will never forget, looking forward to his show in the hall for Cornwall next month.
I had the honor of meeting him twice. He really is so incredibly kind. He told me he’d always thought The Moodies would have been more popular. I told him if he were more popular he’d be the King of England, lol 😂 … he chuckled. Justin to me is the poet Laureate of the UK. 💜🎶❤️
Got to admire Justin and all the band. They are all such nice guys. Looking forward to the induction ceremony in April 2018. The Moodies are now going to be in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame. Congratulations guys!
Always loved Justin. He is an amazing person and very talented ❤ I was in the Moodies Fan Club and was lucky enough to get invited to the headquarters in Cobham, Surrey
Awesome. I was also a fan club member. Christmas 1984, they had the boat on the Thames for their fan club holiday party. I was there and it was a night I’ll never forget… nearly 40 years ago. ❤️
I'm not usually interested in long english interviews, because I'm not an english speaker so I don't always understand everything. But damn, his voice is so soft and he talks about such simple but nice things. I really like it 💖
I got hooked on the Moodies music in 1969 when my older brother played TOCCC and OTTOAD. They have been my fav band ever since. Now that we have U tube I am enjoying these interviews.
Well I wasn't even born when he started but I must say that he seems like such an endearing man. He deserved his success way back then, and I hope that he is still enjoying it now in 2022. ...guess I had better get back to work, I am truly just goofing off. I should be working now...but go Justin, woo hoo!
This is wonderful. I find now that I'm older, that I'm more interested in taking in artists thoughts about playing & composing. What a great experience.
Just by accident in 1983 I came across Songwriter, without hesitation I purchased the. LP and played it over and over, then taped it mainly for fear that the record would become unplayable, and to give me something to accompany me on driving longish distances in the car. Although the LP doesn’t feature the mellotron (as was the norm in Moodies’ songs) it gives another dimension to a member of the greatest band...each track is different and love the harmonies from family members. Songwriter ,for me, is a timeless masterpiece
Anyone that has ever road-ed a Mellotron knows to carry 2 of them, and even then keep your fingers crossed -- It is fortunate that Pinder used his military time to learn some electronics and worked for Mellotron before the Moodies and knew enough to repair them -- I used to be a fairly good mellotron tech but I always kept mine in the corner of a studio
Love this interview with justin beautyfull soul l have loved you since the sixties and so happy you are still making beautyfull songs love from south africa gillian fay ❤❤❤❤
I already know some of this. It's good too see Justin tell the story. I'm from America and I got the chance to see the Moody Blues in Michigan at the pine knob. God Bless Justin Hayward and his family. 🙏🏼♥️🌹
Thanks for the post. This is a real gem. After the Moody's took a break, (They never announced a break-up.) solo albums came out. Songwriter in my 18th year was really powerful and technically w/the guitar overdubs, studio wizardry etc. it is his finest work. So, this behind the scenes from that time...my God 46 years later is a real treat.
The comments of JH from 12:27 are fascinating - three times over the next minute he reiterates the point that the Moodies are, at that point 1977, over - implying that they didn't just take a break after the 1974 tour but a line had been drawn and the band was finished. I'm not sure the official Moody history puts it in such a stark way. But it is underlined by the band cover picture on 1978's unexpected comeback album Octave, with the five members exiting through a doorway (into the light), and then on the inside of the gatefold cover they are coming back again through the door towards the camera. It seemed like they had ended, but they came back. Although spookily on the cover as they are walking away (into the light) you can see hardly anything of Mike Pinder, who did disappear from the Moodies fold never to return... 'One Step Into the Light' indeed, the title of his sole song on Octave.
I wonder why Justin didn't do an album with his wife, she sounds a good singer. I just wish Justin and the lads had had kept style they had on A Question of Balance, for me that was their peak. Justin is some guitarist, and so is Mike Pinder too despite being a bit obsessed by the Melloton. Justin done a guitar solo on tract 2 of AQOB "How is it we are here" (Pinder) and I just wish had done more of that heavier stuff.
I love England. Every time I work on an English bike Beatles tunes go through my mind and I think of the people who originally built it. I think about the origins of my country and how fortunate I am to have been born free. I think about how England doesn’t trust its citizens with knives alone, guns, and did America even own a canon and shoot it. I think about the British invasion of the 60s and how English bands sought to learn the roots of rock ‘n’ roll, which was the blues, which came from descendants of slaves. I think about the guy who wrote the hymn amazing Grace; all that. I think about how England is now just about 100% atheist and largely Muslim.
BEST SINGER /SONGWRITER EVER, LOVE YOU DEAR JUSTIN, THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY HAPPY LIFE HAPPIER WITH YOUR CLASS & HUMILITY. GORGEOUS TOO XXXX
What a beautiful soul, he has always been so kind and humble. That voice ❤
what a lovely man. I still have a crush on him😅

Poor guy got ripped-off on his publishing.

Lovely little story, thanks for sharing! 🎵❤️
What a gentle man. Thanks for your music. Long may you run.
Great that Justin found happiness so many in the entertainment world don't.
obviously the classiest guy to make it in music business
Always makes me smile when im surfing at Gwithian and look up to see that house .
Kind and humble that's what I see. Thank you for almost sixty years of wonderful songs.
really cool to see what his perspective was like back in 1977. I see a lot of people saying what a nice person etc.Justin is... I agree totally :-)
Humble and human but great.
Great interview. Thank you for posting.
Britain's best song writer
Justin said it right. His success was based on staying “level headed.” So many great artists lose this critical grounding. God bless him.
Got to admire Justin and all the band. They are all such nice guys. Looking forward to the induction ceremony in April 2018. The Moodies are now going to be in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame. Congratulations guys!
There's such a straightforward honesty about him

Justin Hayward greatest British writer of all time. I like Neil Diamond's writing in America. Neil has his crowd of which I am a fan. 🙏🏼♥️🌹

superb songwriter ,magical musician ... well done for living the life you loved !
Beyond any words can explain the beauty.

Saw Moodies at University of Toledo.

Thank you for sharing this with us. Very insightful interview of Justin Hayward.
He was always a cutie ❤ is that one of those spaceship lamps on his table 🤔 I want one 😂
He could read the phone book and I would listen.
At 0:38 it sounds like he's composing "Had to Fall in Love", which appeared a year later on _Octave._
Heart and soul took control.
JUSTIN ce grand mélodiste !!
Justin, you need to record audiobooks.
The only rockstar for me.
That was brilliant and fascinating. Thank you!
Great interview!
Such an incredible talent !!

Precious and private. First time I see this video. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic! Thank you!
This is wonderful. I had seen a really bad quality copy in the past. Thanks for sharing this,
A real class act.
I wonder why Justin didn't do an album with his wife, she sounds a good singer.
I just wish Justin and the lads had had kept style they had on A Question of Balance, for me that was their peak. Justin is some guitarist, and so is Mike Pinder too despite being a bit obsessed by the Melloton. Justin done a guitar solo on tract 2 of AQOB "How is it we are here" (Pinder) and I just wish had done more of that heavier stuff.
Sadly he doesn't own the publishing of the 60s stuff anymore
i understand the only dislike here was made by justin's mother in law
Who is she, and why would she not like it?
Why would you say that?
@@glorioskiola .... good god! it was a joke. if you don't get it you didn't watch the whole video.

America is now becoming Atheist as well. Gen X, Y and Z made Atheism cool.
6:00 Spinal tap moment
The song title on the last segment?
Which year is this!?
Says in the title 1977
