Legend ❤ Massive Simple Minds fan in my younger days. Loved the period 82-92 and Mel played his part big time. Been to see them live multiple times and they were an amazing live band. However losing Mel, Mick and Derek was a blow as a fan. Last time I saw them in 2019 they were a shadow of there former selves. Glad to have the memories of those great days where for me they were the world’s best band. Look forward to listening to Mel’s new stuff and wish him all the best for his future. Great interview bro 👍
Thanks for the comment mate👍 yeah that era of Simple Minds is incredible! Sounds like you’ve followed them a long time and they’ve gave you great experiences which is what it’s all about!
Seen them at Wembley and Birmingham nec on that tour and they where incredible. No one to touch them but sadly an absolute shadow of what they once where but not a great surprise when there’s only two of them left.
Mel we love you!!!!incredibile drummer full of passion...demolition drums!!
Best drummer in the world, would be great to see Mel play with Mick and Derek again. 👍🏻😀
One of the best. Has a groove like no other. Great interview! Thanks!
Thank you!

STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST ICONIC DRUMMERS, EVER 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Definitely!
Legend. Come A Long Way is my favourite drumming from Mel for me. I agree that Up On A Catwalk also showcases him brilliantly too.
One of the best drummer. Kind regards Fred van Engelen
Brilliant interview, another great guest 👍
Thanks!👍
That was great cheers ❤
Thank you!
Great chat. Would have liked to hear more. I remember them playing at Roundhay. Keep up the good work
Thank you, did you go to that gig?
No, but my dad did

Mel mentions that Wembley gig in 1989 in the interview, he says it was his favourite show he did
Mel don't tempt us with saying you may return to simple minds. Please Please make it happen 🙏
The governor 👊
Up on the catwalk is a masterpiece as well as all the songs from Sparkle in the rain and Once upon a time...the drumming was at the highest level!!!!
