A very humble man who always made time for spys fans. Such a talent. Gone but never forgotten. Miss ya mate.

My favourite song is credit cards also . rip Mike your music lives on

The South Africans

You picked me up on the road

I saw them play on the gold coast,, what a class act. I was mesmerized by his guitar work, such a unique sound and style he had. Thanks for sharing. RIP Mike, you left a large footprint

What a great historic interview with such a great man and musician. I had the absolute privilege of meeting Mike, Craig and Mark Cuffe when i was a camera operator on their film clip “ Comes a Time” That shoot started at sunset and went through til sunrise and the Spies were professional,patient and very gracious throughout. I hold those memories as a career highlight.

Nice legacy there - Agree with comments humble guy amazing player great band

'promo sm' 🤘

Thank you, real nice.

Loved this interview! I've been a Spies fan since the early 80's and got to meet the guys so many times...my favorite band of all time. I remember Mike getting me into a sold out gig one night...have the best memories going to their shows. Not the same now that Mike is no longer with us 😞

My God that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

spys rule

Galaxy Class ! actual

Wow, that's a Pearl with this iconic guitar player, Mike Willeys of my fave aussie surfing rock band ever, V Spy V Spy!

I was super fortunate to have met Mike on a few occasions, the last time back stage in Sydney I think in 2000. That's when Craig Bloxom was still playing and, from memory, Paul Wheeler (Icehouse) was on drums. He was such a humble, affable bloke, totally devoid of ego, with a self-deprecating sense of humour and straight forward sincerity. Not to mention a unique guitar player who overlayed the driving bass and drum rhythm with sonically beautiful melody lines. The final time I watched Mike play was at the Dee Why RSL on Sat, 02 April 2016 - the Spies were supporting the Radiators. He played superbly - no suprise. The fact we're all here talking about Mike means he's still with us, he continues to exist and resonate in our lives. And of course, the music lives on and on.

Nice piece of oz rock history. Thanks

I've got a friend , Henry " Butch " Carter who told me about Louie. I'm glad he did . Didn't know he was from Arkansas. Love this interview, wish I could meet him . I'd hope to learn from him . Thank You for posting.

One of the best Shelton interviews👍 A true guitar genius...understated but always correct.

he looks very hot

Great job!!!!

Excellent !!! Thank you sir!!!

Great interview.

Louie and Vic flick awesome unsung session musicians

THE 60’s and 70’s we had it made the music was as good as it could get!!! There was some great songs after that , but those were the best !!! The music was clean and honest!!! The musics was real !!!! PLAYERS LIKE LOUIS AND THEM MADE IT HAPPEN real talent !!! THEN THE MONEY GRUBBERS AND THE IDIOTS MOVED IN AND RUINED IT ALL!!! WE LLOST THE GREATNESS OF IT ALL !!!! NOW LOOK AT WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH !!! YES, WE LOST IT !!!

Mike was one of Australia's greatest rock guitarists, his individual style and sound was at the core of Spy v Spy. His solo CD Honey Island was magical, a real treat and almost a hidden Spys recording. Just so sad he passed away in 2018. No one can recreate his style of playing, they try buy never match it.

great find...simply one of the best bands and musicians we've ever had

We Brazilians were lucky enough to have many Spy concerts here during the 90’s. RIP Mike, you left a mark in surf music for sure 🙏🏻🇧🇷

Cool, Thanks Steve !

The Best bass player in the world

a beautiful tribute to THE MAN !!!!!!!

Gary Moore was one of the greatest guitarists.

Mike Weiley had a unique style of Guitar playing. I first saw 'Spys' early on in 1982, during their Ska period. I may have heard "Brightside" on JJJ before seeing them in concert, hard to remember. I still possess the E.P. "Four Fresh Lemons", it is a treasure of mine. I don't agree that they are 'under rated' though. They did have some 'healthy' Chart success with a few albums in the Mainstream. Some of their Singles needed more commercial airplay in order to sell more. If "Hard Times" isn't a catchy tune then I'm not a carbon based life form. All 'Spys' fans know their other catchy songs that would've been Chart Hits with support from the fickle Triple M radio. I'm not exaggerating when I say that 'Spys' are one of the best 3 piece Bands to walk the Planet. Words cannot describe how much I love them.

Thanks for sharing this interview Steve, the Spy’s are one of Australia’s most underrated bands still listening to their music everyday, can you tell us what year you did the interview 🤙

What I find amazing beyond the obvious is that how he remembers all these parts exactly how they are played.

Amazing guitar player! RIP Mike 🇧🇷

Beautiful my friend!

one of the great Australian guitarists...

I see you are still a fantastic guitarist Steve. Well done.
