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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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....
@@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.
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.
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!'.
'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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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 !
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.

God bless stu
I love it when Steve chats with fellow UK mates.
Simple Minds Live Aid performances doesn't get enough praise.
Love hearing Jonesy reminiscing with other old Brit rockers from back in the day.
I was there! 😆

The Who, Greatest Pure Rock Band ever... Jim you are a 100% right mate.
They are sweet and soft-spoken. Interesting. Luv my Jonesy
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.
This is yet another great interview, thanks Steve!
An American radio-show, presented by an English guitarist with two Scotsmen. Love the accents :D
I'm now gonna listen to their new stuff and old stuff.. Nice people..
Wow Great stuff. Simple Minds, wow what a band, one of the best ever from their generation, and not to forget Jonsey love Him to bits as he would say.
No "The" Just Simple Minds.
@@nickpearce9441 I know , ""the" was used in objectively. But I will correct ..
I do enjoy seeing bands from my youth being interviewed by some one who knows what he is talking about, and taking a walk down memory lane.
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.
burchill is one of the best guitarists ever to walk this earth...
You are so right!
Burchwell.
Take his guitar away or Jim Kerr's voice away and they are not Simple Minds.
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!
Met him in pub in glasgow years ago. Totally down to earth and lovely bloke.
Just...the greatest interviewer ever....
Love Simple Minds ❤ Miss Stuart Adamson (Big Country) great interview 👌
What an absolute brilliant interview..so chilled out & laid back..Jim & Charlie rock..always have, always will... DJ was cool too.
"Walk on by", One of the best pound for pound pop songs of all time. Back when pop music had beauty and integrity.
First gig i ever went to was Simple Minds when i was 15....July 1986 Frejus
Jonesy is no snob. ❤ that. Steve is that guy, amidst gunfire shrapnel and bombsmoke who walks over the line offering yer enemy a cig.
Saw them in Boston. Great show!! I wish they just came here more often. :(
Three of the coolest men on the planet.
best the simple minds interview ever.
Mick was in Frantic elevators they were punk used to play Eric's in Liverpool all the time pre simply red
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.

One of my favorite 80s bands The Simpleminds
Christ no "The " just Simple Minds.
excellent, enjoyed that.
Fantastic banter
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....
Once Upon A Time:)
Love love, great
Saw this tour in SF at the Masonic Auditorium front row left of center. "Love Song" was definitely the best of the old stuff.
Great stuff.
gives me a new gold dream
81-82-83-84?;)
Old men stories. They’re the best! 😂
its all we have dude
You will have your own Old Man story someday!!! and, it will be great. Especially if you're still rockin at what you love doing.
Really enjoyed that, now listening to The Skids
Albert Tatlock!
This is a beautiful reminisce by the old cool dudes.
Jonesy enjoyed this
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band was great. Never understood why they didn't make it in the U.S.
They played a legendary show in Detroit 1975/76 (the wall ) - They were on the crest of breaking through. No air play at all, None.
@@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 saw them in New Orleans in 1975 with Jethro Tull. Went to see SAHB but they only got 45 minutes.
@@vambo13257 Till worried that Alex might steal the show.
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.
This great

An insight into their lives.
(Especially because they have so much in common ... it's like shop talk. 😊 Inside information is always more interesting 😉
And then the track they choose to play is about as "deep cut" as it gets: their cover of Lou Reed's "Street Hassle" 👍
Always interesting
Another classic !
Jonesy got it on hynde before Ray Davies and Jimmy kerr.Aye Aye Pistols history!Wink
I'm sure that's true
a condom full of walnuts!
i almost died!
Remove “the” article! They are just Simple Minds!! :)
Great band in their time, so many no so well-known tracks that are outstanding like somewhere in summertime
Sex Pistols, Big Country, Simple Minds & The Skids. Phenomenal bands all!
dry humour here - good stuff !!
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!'.
oh yeah, "Squeeze Box" - catchy little ditty, never get tired of it

Garry Baldy lmfao, he soo slow as well, it’s painful
Jonesy obviously knows nothing about Simple Minds. F boring int.
council merchant
You've summarised him succintly;-in the Craig Brown school of satire..

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.
" Blokey Football Chat " Aside this was a very entertaining interview with the 2 Principal Members of the band!! From Adrian Browne 1965
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.
We are from Glasgow and we’re Simple Minds
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.
r.i.p stuart adamson!
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
The Edge owes his career to Charlie.

too bad they didn't jam, Burchill is a hell of a player
sorry to say but he would of blew away steve.
