"Back In Time"
That's what I felt watching this :)

[@enkiea52]

I wish I could meet them in person.

[@MustacheCashStash125]

Same.

[@MustacheCashStash125]

I’m 17 and I’ve known I’m Blue for years and in July, I decided to start listening to you guys to hear your other songs and now I’m a huge fan.

[@ajx2956]

Good to hear the younger generation listening to the classic dance groups. 🎶

[@Spectra651]

OMG 0_0 I've been an Eiffel 65 fan since the beginning, and this is the first time I've EVER heard Gabry and Maurizio speaking English! I didn't even know they DID speak English! This to me is totally fucking mind-blowing! XD

[@Lucky_Number113]

Spectra Same here!

[@mastermaiksen]

Same here from a German Fan since 1999 :-)

[@shareel.ratten4741]

Maury and Gabry also spoke English on a 1999 German interview and a CNN interview for TMOH

[@Michka1001]

Let alone how fluently they speak it!

[@sophiaorullian5752]

I love you guys thanks for your music ❤

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Gabry and Maurizio interview= 💓😍
Without Jeff here with them= 😳💔

[@casperboreanaz]

Yay for UA-cam showing these classics 🔥😎

[@Quasi-stellar_object]

They said they are always live, but I am yet to see them performing live during that time period.

[@sydneywolfenstein]

Love you guys! Been a fan since I was a kiddo.

❤🇵🇰 Eiffel 65 my bast song 💋

[@Inspiration_YT_]

14:36 Maury said that maybe in the future they would make something more sad. Well, that's Bloom 06, since they have more deep lyrics in their songs than Eiffel 65, and I do like the style of Bloom 06.

[@westcoastcalifornia9744]

very nice

[@EPrimeify]

I'm so confused. I've been a fan of them forever, and it was to my knowledge that their English was okay, but not to this extent. This is my first time seeing them not only without Jeff, but an interview of them speaking English just fine.

[@vidbytesstudios1570]

EPrimeify gabry speaks english a bit better than Maury.

[@AndreaCasanova94]

Even today Maury's english sounds the same. While Jeffrey, the singer, grew up in New York sine he was 2 years old and then came back, that's why his english always sounded so good.

[@EPrimeify]

@@AndreaCasanova94 he’s been back in Italy since he was 12 or 14.

[@icecube4564]

Eiffel 65 great group!!!

[@MustacheCashStash125]

Hell yeah!

[@davidepinna414]

quanto vorrei che Gabry Ponte torni con gli Eiffel 65

[@dan_1809]

I'm Blue da ba dee da ba dae-e
(I love this song because blue is my favorite color) 😁

[@jbullock7445]

do you think the show told them to sit that close together or do you think it was natural?

[@sassolinoh7528]

Wow

[@aminaferhat6858]

The best

[@spacedout4691]

They're amazing. In which year was that interview?

[@smallhours205]

Most likely 2000 :)

[@mariapopa6883]

Spaced Out 1999

[@MustacheCashStash125]

1999

[@shareel.ratten4741]

Interesting that in 1999/2000, the public couldn’t fit Eiffel 65 into just Dance or just Pop - they were/ are in the middle, as Gabry said in the VICE interview.

[@paytonsamuels2594]

Why isn't Jeffery Jey there?

[@averagealienSD]

They said at that time, hip hop and R&B werent popular among young people in Italy. id bet thats no longer the case lol but I wonder if dance music is still #1 there.

[@riccardomallardo7779]

averagealienSD house music (especially electro and progressive) has taken over around 2008 replacing dance (before that italodance was huge until 2007, gabry ponte and gigi d agostino kept being big names and mainstream stars) around 2011 reggaeton kinda started to slowly take over, dance but also house (lets say edm in general) aren't mainstream anymore since 5-6 years, only big hits like animals, tsunami or faded are popular, now party/disco music is entirely made by reggaeton or that sort of pitbull style reggaeton-dance with saxophones and some random spanish rap thrown in it

[@ksanders249]

This was in (1999) 🙂👍
