Fee Waybill and the Tubes forever. I was lucky enough to see them play a few times in late 70's and super lucky to meet Fee. He was a real gentleman. Their shows were spectacular. Do not miss the chance to see them live.
Fee has to be the most down to Earth rock star I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Hell, he's just a down to Earth person. Fantastic powerhouse voice. Have to head him live. Recordings don't capture it.
YOUNG & RICH album is a masterpiece. 2 of the greatest guitar players ever. "as our rivets rub together, flashing sparks into the night" These days we need these tunes more than ever. The Tubes, ❤
Love his enthusiasm. Just saw them in A.C. two nights ago. Great show. Met Fee afterwards and he was super cool. He signed my ticket stub and took a pic with us. I might add that I was sporting a Zappa moustache, wig, and Pipco tee at the time.
I love the Tubes. Just got into them, can't believe I missed them before. What a fantastic, wonderful band. Their act is like cabaret. Just fantastic. Long may they continue and please God, may I catch them live!
Saw 'em in the '70s, 90's and aughts and they are still rocking the same as ever! When Fee does Sinatra songs and Dean Martin classics, you realize how amazing a vocalist he is !!
I love this man....I must say that in this interview Fee looks like Robert De Niro a bit. God bless you Fee, you are simply Awesome. Love Carus Alambra :-)
Great clip! Fee is one of the few real artists out there. You can see that his heart is in it all the way. The Tubes are the most musically unique band to my ears and they keep playing after all these years out of love, not money. Very excited to see them in a few months!
Met Fee a couple times after seein them in buffalo n.y he was great took a pic with my husband. The rest of the band also great. When they played buffalo years ago at a club the bass player used my husbands bass rig he remembered him great guys all around.
Fabulous interview!!! I saw the Tubes in 1980 when I was a kid and the show remains an incredible memory. The level of creativity they put forth onstage is really unparalleled. I love the whole Noir concept. Thanks for the post. Nicely done.
Great, great, great. I was playing in a band - this is 20 years ago. We were loading into a club in Appleton Wi that was also a Mongolian stir fry place - Mongos. We are unloading all our gear in the side door and we come down for the 2nd load and here is a 15 passenger van that pulls up and out comes Prairie Prince, Fee, all the guys in the band. And we're all like.....Hey....it's the Tubes. They were just like..."Hey". Step aside, we're dining. They didn't hang for our set of course. There was a music festival or something going on and they were playing at that.
It is cool to watch these interviews. After seeing the Tubes half a dozen times between 1980 -1992 I had the distinct impression that Fee was quite an a**hole. But I guess those were the stage characters, not the guy himself. Here he comes across as surprisingly (to me) thoughtful, well-spoken, and well-educated. A theater kid - that makes so much sense. This band was very original and super talented, whip smart and wickedly funny. And they rocked like a hurricane!
Can vouch for Fee's cool personality. He signed my old classic Donnay tennis racket cover during a Completion Backwards Principle Tour meet and greet. He thought it was hilarious bringing in that prop for signing and said he played tennis in his youth.
My biggest loss is not seeing The Tubes. Always liked their high energy that they put into their songs. Since Fee visits the thrift stores, I wonder if he ever came across this double LP, Frank Zappa & The Tubes Live. Apparently it's a bootleg and the cover with Frank Zappa getting it from a groupie. The smile on his face is priceless.
Fee is such a ultimate performer! It's a shame Quentin Tarantino or Paul Thomas Anderson or someone hasn't given him a juicy part in a movie. Fee in 'Inherent Vice' over Eric Roberts - how awesome would that've been? "Hey little hippy...." LOL For all my weirdness in my music 'career', Fee and The Tubes has ALWAYS been the main driving influence. Solid, polished, professional, and FUN! The Stones and AC/DC and U2 et al are good. But The Tubes are THE BEST! Music NON STOP! :)
Tubes were one of the greatest live acts from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s . Great rock , theater , and satire . But when Bill "sputnik" Spooner left the band , they weren't the same imho ... my favorite tubes concert video was new years eve/day 1975/76 in San Francisco at Winterland . The visual quality is not very good but the sound is good , and the content fantastic . tap on link to watch - ua-cam.com/video/l8mFEBnAImY/v-deo.html
Fee says they perform the popular tubes hits also . Bill Spooner was co or primary writer on those and other songs like wpod . Does He still get royalties ? Bill left the tubes in 1986 . does anyone know why spooner left the tubes ? be grateful for replies .
Fee is great fun in this interview, but the host was embarrassing, asking questions that anyone who did even a touch of research would know were clueless.
The Tubes Completion Backward Principle . Couldn't find the whole concept video but there are parts of it in the following playlist of video . tap the link ua-cam.com/play/PLf8OmO_96ZGiey6bxmpQRa4lfLkNQkoha.html
I'm a bit odd. I love their music, but don't think the outfits and dramatics are necessary! But it is for Fee, so long may they continue. Very skilled band. Never heard a tune from them that wasn't interesting or original. Still . . . the big shoes? Time to auction them off for some cash.
Fee Waybill and the Tubes forever. I was lucky enough to see them play a few times in late 70's and super lucky to meet Fee. He was a real gentleman. Their shows were spectacular. Do not miss the chance to see them live.
LOVE this band!! See them live, if you can. They don't make them like this anymore.
Ah, Fee. Still inspired and enthusiastic about his art after all these years. God love him. Thx for the vid.

One of the most under rated singers in Rock & Roll. Love him and The Tubes! Never a dull show. I always wonder why TV is KING was not a huge hit.

Saw the Tubes last night in Fresno, CA April 2017. Amazing iconic performance. If you get the chance.....do not miss seeing one of their shows.
I love the Tubes. Just got into them, can't believe I missed them before. What a fantastic, wonderful band. Their act is like cabaret. Just fantastic. Long may they continue and please God, may I catch them live!

I never knew much about fee, he seems like a pretty cool guy. I like his honesty and his attitude
I love this man....I must say that in this interview Fee looks like Robert De Niro a bit.
God bless you Fee, you are simply Awesome.
Love Carus Alambra :-)
Thanks fee you're great.
I actually saw the Tubes 40 years ago in S.F. Fee is a true artist God-love him

Met the band at a Tower Records. All the guys were great and signed the latest album which I still have today. Priceless.
I always liked the Tubes and I admire Fee for his creative and inspiring work.. Rock on...
I'd listen to this guy for hours!
Great guy and a great band. The world had not been the same without the Tubes . I mean really..!
Met Fee a couple times after seein them in buffalo n.y he was great took a pic with my husband. The rest of the band also great. When they played buffalo years ago at a club the bass player used my husbands bass rig he remembered him great guys all around.
Fee is a super nice guy.
..Fee is a genuinely NICE GUY. Having chatted him up several times, he's just like you see him here. APPROACHABLE.......
It was really nice to hear him mention Bill. ❤️
FEE and the Tubes...amazing still and LOVE IT.
Fabulous interview!!! I saw the Tubes in 1980 when I was a kid and the show remains an incredible memory. The level of creativity they put forth onstage is really unparalleled. I love the whole Noir concept. Thanks for the post. Nicely done.
I LOVE FEE!!!!❤️
The Tubes - "Remote Control" Album is one of the best Progressive Punk Rock records ever
You go Fee! I love the ways he calls out other bands...haha..I saw him once in the Rocky Horror show as Frank n Furter....excellent!
I have loved The Tubes forever!

Ein Superstar ohne Allüren!
Very nice!!!
Saw their 1st London show in Hammersmith. ....great band....good times..thanks
I saw them in Fresno California on their Tubes world tour! Omg a true rock opera! I'm soooooo grateful to have seen them then!!
Fee Waybills straight jacket number 91750 is his DOB as he was born September 17th 1950
Halloween 1976 Concord CA. One of the best shows i ever saw next to Zappa and ELP.
I know I'm in the minority on this but "Love Bomb" is my favorite Tubes album.
It's okay! For me: The completion backward principle..
@@pittiplatsch9635 That's when I found about the TUBES. Fan ever since!
The insanely talented traveling circus that is The Tubes.
Love this bloke and The Tubes,wish they would come to Australia.
Great, great, great. I was playing in a band - this is 20 years ago. We were loading into a club in Appleton Wi that was also a Mongolian stir fry place - Mongos.

There was a music festival or something going on and they were playing at that.
Such a committed performer
The Tubes .... so kick ass ! ... love it ................Fee's two solo albums - incredible !

Love the Burt Reynolds tour bus story on David Letterman.
Great Rock band! So many great tracks!
Fee Waybill beyond brilliant has indeed done what he set out to do.good stuff
Fee & the Tubes are awesome!!!! Please get to NC sometime soon!!!
I admire people who are in their 60s still going strong even in their 70s !
YES! THE TUBES ON BROADWAY!!!
Can vouch for Fee's cool personality. He signed my old classic Donnay tennis racket cover during a Completion Backwards Principle Tour meet and greet. He thought it was hilarious bringing in that prop for signing and said he played tennis in his youth.
The Tubes would always play Akron Ohio around Halloween at The Tangiers , never missed it !
Love Fee👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have an autographed "White Punks On Dope " album from the Warner theater .
Rock n roll hall of fame time!
Remote Control still my favorite concept album, they need to do Remote Control concerts like before. Tv is my everything.
Ich mag Fee.Tell me more !
My biggest loss is not seeing The Tubes. Always liked their high energy that they put into their songs. Since Fee visits the thrift stores, I wonder if he ever came across this double LP, Frank Zappa & The Tubes Live. Apparently it's a bootleg and the cover with Frank Zappa getting it from a groupie.

Fee is a genius.

Best band ever
Always a fan, right from the Remote Control...
I wish The Tubes would tour the CBP downunder!

" Stand Up And Shout "
So, the interviewer has no idea who he's interviewing? Poor Fee.
Fee says they perform the popular tubes hits also . Bill Spooner was co or primary writer on those and other songs like wpod . Does He still get royalties ? Bill left the tubes in 1986 . does anyone know why spooner left the tubes ? be grateful for replies .
Quaylude!
Is there a fee to see Fee Tubes where good band still are. ..first albums where best
Now! = 🥇
Love The Tubes, love Fee...but must say with his hair I get a real Max Cady vibe from "Cape Fear"...
Hehe, just watched that movie the other day.
Agree
Fee is great fun in this interview, but the host was embarrassing, asking questions that anyone who did even a touch of research would know were clueless.

Alice Cooper did a great straitjacket scene in a song:
