I've been a fan since the beginning...just bought another T Shirt...(Once upon a Time) my favourite album....am 72yrs young but Simple Minds are my favourite band💙💙💙
I liked this channel because it focused on class - now we have ‘gender bias’ - ran out of material?
My favourite ever band. What a superb down to earth guy Jim is. 🏴
This is one of the best interviews I've heard. How Jim is so inspiring and aspiring whilst remaining .grounded to his roots. Thanks to you for setting up.this interview with Jim, amd thanks to Jim for sharing his life experiences.
Thank you so much. What a lovely comment. Really appreciate it!
Great interview with a truly great human being!
Excellent interview and a great insight into Mr Kerr
Fantastic interview of my dear Princeton roommate! 👍Joe has the most amazing background of anyone I know!❤
Superb band , and less establishment shills compared to U2
Brilliant interview so down to earth Jim Kerr is very humble & happy with his life and achievements without forgetting his own background from where he came from. My favourite band Simple Minds and I have only came across your channel here on UA-cam. I am going to subscribe to it. Have you done Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross yet ? This music is all from the same era .
Thanks for the comment. I haven't interviewed Ricky Ross yet... maybe if he sees this, he'd love to be involved 🙂
@@workingclasstoworldclass thank you so much.
Fantastic interview. I have never met him, but I am so proud of him and what he has achieved.
Brilliant interview , Calebs all chuffed with his mention 🥰
Work with what you have to work with 😂 great who remembers as a kid using a house brick to knock nails in before getting a hammer
👏 what an interview, great story of how everything came together, and the school time what we can all relate to, your turn to read infront of the class. I hated that, one time I was reading and the word was beasts and breasts came out of my mouth everyone was laughing I had no idea what they were all laughing at as I didn't even notice.
Oh my god, is her voice not pure dead annoying?
The awsome simpleminds
If you have your health and imagination nothing can hold you back in life ..
Jim do remember me. • we met at the Mandela bar in Strathclyde University fir the grand opening. • We met at downtown Tironto at a radio station. • I throw up the celtic top, unfortunately landed on your napper. Well let me tell you, I won a karaoke event by singing Ghost Dancing. My BSc MSc and PhD in mathematics was your platform to make me think. Thank
UK class system is as sick as the Indian caste system. I’m glad I was born elsewhere. It’s sad to hear that kids are segregated from an early age. Rebel.
Great interview, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just seeing this comment. Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.
At their peak they graduated into a world class band. New Gold Dream is one of my top 5 albums of all time, up there with my favourite Kate Bush albums. Big music for big hearts and minds.
Definately in my top 5 too 👐 New Gold Dream, started playing it everyday when Lockdown statred back in March 2020 👐
Total legends love them they just get better their massive define music first thing that comes into my head is kerr burchill jims words anything is possible tower block toryglen to superstar enuf said
Brilliant chat! See you in Birmingham 2024 Jim.
I'll be there as well.
A couple of elelphants in the room Brian Mcgee Derek Forbes Mick Macneil and Mel Gaynor !
One of the best interviews with jim. Really in-depth great job.
Thank you! Very kind of you to say 🙂
I'm an italian Simple minds fan since 1983. I saw 22 Simple minds gigs since 1984 to 2018 and i will go to Milan in April 2024 to see the 23gig! As a fan there is a lot to say about Simple minds' career. From my point of view, they probably would have been even more successful if Mick McNeil hadn't left the band (but Derek Forbes' departure was also painful). What can I say...but from a certain point of view, personally I prefer that they didn't have the great success of U2, for example, because the last 4/5 U2 works are embarrassing (and I was a big fan of U2 over the years 80/90), how embarrassing Bono vox's attitude is. While Jim (despite being a bit self-centered, and you can see it from the choices made in the band over the years) has made better musical (and otherwise) choices; and the last 4/5 Simple minds CDs prove it!! Ps Jim if you read this comment....I really miss Mel Gaynor too....although Cherisse is very good. Greetings from Italy
Saw them in Edinburgh 1980 I think it was clouds (Discotheque) and Jim was right. They really had something different. Been a big fan of the fist five albums since they came out. Great days.
Aye thats some Glaswegian accent he has, what happened Jim, ashamed of your roots bet you didnae speak like that back in the day, sounds more like an Edinburgh snobs these days than a Glaswegian.
He got me at “when you’re born healthy, you’re already ahead of the game….” Have been in love with him and his music since my early teens, but to hear him say that makes me fall in love with him so much more ❤❤❤❤. Best music and voice ever! Love you, Jim😘
Everytime i listen to Simple Minds i feel world class 😊
Great talk
Celtic 🎉❤
Great interview
A very down to earth and inspiring interview providing plenty of food for thought.
Nice podcast presented well & to talk about the old side of southside .. any way JFK hope to meet u again on Edinburgh high street @ the heart or sign .. 1888 still going strong ... Wee war 😂😂😂🏴
Thanks Ed! Jim is one of the most down to earth superstars I've ever met!
Robbie greatest feat was finally disposing of the PRAT in the hat
Robbie is our Greatest of all times at AFTV
Just pity he threw Claude off and kept stroking the prat in the hat ego
Always a pleasure to hear Dave Trott
very good interview and reasoning from topman Robbie and Lynn. inspiring story. COYG
Good interview and as a fan of Arsenal for 56 years I admire Robbie and thank him although I don’t agree with everything that’s gone on All the best to him 👍👍
5:10 I'm from the exact same background as Robbie Lyle! I enjoy watching AFTV despite not being an Arsenal fan.
COYG
Big interview
This AFTV are sensationalist crap. They shouted so hard for Arteta out. They slated Odegaard decrying the signing. I have total contempt for this channel. Like Grant Cohn for 49ers they maybe fans but their rhetoric is oft harmful as they jump into their statements. They rant like drunk supporters when they as presenters need to stay.more subjective. This channel shouted so hard for Arteta out they should have little to no viewership left. I trusted the process, I pleaded for the Odegaard signing. I didn't cry for manager removal ( was relieved when Emery left and disappointed Arsene left his resignation as late).
Don way 🔥
i wonder what would be the title of the video if Mr. DT is the guest 😅
Arsenal fans? Are you sure. Luton fan I guess
Awesome Conversation
Don Robbie the goat
Not long been watching Robbie on AFTV with his team and he's such a grounded gentleman, what's not to like about him. Hope to meet him one day soon at a match. Well done to you sir for what you have achieved and what you are continually doing by giving the fans a voice.
Don Robbie Gooner Gooner!!!!
