Luv the respect they give to Stuart adamson The early scene recognized him as a natural/forceful guitar slinger and he would grow into a great song writer Pure talent God bless stu
Great to hear all these stories from the old days. Golden Age of live music and creativity. Scotland punches above its weight on the world stage. So many great bands.
Theres no pretence here at all. This is one of the best interviews I've seen of the band. It's more like a friendly chat, Jones is talking to them as equals. Great to see.
I could listen to these 3 for hours. Would love to share some of my stories from Detroit 1974-1979 - Thin Lizzy, Dead Boys, NY Dolls - that's a great one!
As long as you don't keep mentioning Johnny every other sentence like Linda did. Awful woman squeezing every last cent out of the Johnny Ramone name when she was on Jones's show. Her remarks about MickRonson was ridiculous. As for Johnny being one of the most influential guitarist's comedy gold.
Just discovered the Jukebox last week and its fantastic stuff. Listening to you talking to your guests about their music is brilliant. Very interesting. Keep rockin it, keep safe and keep washing your hands people. Take care.
Saw simple minds last week & absolutely brilliant, these guys are the real deal, professional & so composed on stage with the crowd in there hands , Charlie on the guitar is again brilliant with Jim’s vocals & stage presence is gold.
Got a feeling that there's going to be plenty of people in Los Angeles an Southern California checking-out The Skids and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and, of course, Simple Minds.
the mad daddy after hundred others yes the best ever of all times is Steve Howe from YES/ASIA then STEVE STEVENS from Billy Idol then JOSE FELICIANO then Esteban then Frank Zappa AND on!
What's so great about this is that it's just as though you're eavesdropping on a personal conversation between these guys, just talking about what matters to them ... they almost forgotten that there's an audience that doesn't know who they're talking about, but that's what makes it more interesting and fun! An insight into their lives.
Has jim ever sworn in his live? Does he even know how that works? He is always so nice in interviews, a pure gentleman. Never saw any bad behavior on him... Such sweet bloke.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, never appreciated Simple Minds at the time but fuck me I have loved them later on (sadly my prejudice against 80's bands that weren't punk knew no bounds) Great show Jonesy....
@@deedonnerramone4757 - At the Michigan Palace, a beautiful old theater. Pretty Things were also on the bill. During the song, Faith Healer, he had a small spotlight he used to shine on the crowd, they booed so loud he turned it off. Detroit can be a tough crowd. I think it was just before they played Vambo and he climbed the ladder to spray paint the wall. Great band, they were spot on musically.
I was scared of alex. Growing up in glasgow he reminded me of all the hard men that were about at that time. Going out on a saturday night was always a bit unpredictable.
SAHB are amazing. Faith Healer is amazing especially the live version. The Cure covered it on the album Kerr and Charlie were talking about. Seen them just as they exploded at Poole on Sparkle In The Rain tour. Definitely an arena band because of their big, expansive sound. 5 number 1 albums in the 80's UK.
Really like The Who and love The Kinks, but credit where it's due, The Stones are the best rock n roll band ever. They've kept updating and reinventing the same thing for 55 years, they're just the best, no question.
I never saw the Pistols. They were suddenly cancelled everywhere before I could. I think I was on the move to get the golden ticket to see them at The Greyhound in Croydon. I think that was the place. So I can actually say that 'I almost saw the Sex Pistols live!'.
I always thought Charlie Burchill was one of the greatest guitarists of the 70’s punk era and beyond. Look up Johnny and the Self Abusers or early Simple Minds demos
I still have the original saints n sinners single johhny and the abusers released, funnily enough they split up on the day it was released and half become the minds the other half become the Cuban Heels.
@@johnnyblunder Me too, I love the bizarro cover art as well. I used to have a cool 12” bootleg of it that suggested it was made in Greece of all places but I’m pretty sure that my crazy girlfriend friend tossed it out in the streets 25 years ago!!!
'Allo, you're listening to Jonesy's Jukebox. Wiv me in the studio are Jim Kershaw and Charlie Burchwell of The Simple Minds. 'Allo, boys! ...Who are you exactly, where do you live, do you like football, and do you know Richard Jobson? Joining me next week will be Roger Walkers and Dave Gaylord of The Keith Floyd when hopefully no one will be topping themselves. There's a lotta that about! See ya.
When you start to list all the bands inspired to just pick up an instrument ans 'ave a go' because of seeing or hearing The Sex Pistols you have a very long list and us music lovers would have missed out on hearing so much great material !
Love Simple minds. Sorry, but The Rolling Stones were making hits when The Who were not even thought of. When in the prime, nothing compared to The Rolling Stones live- and even The Who have said that. Daltry called The Stones the best ever. Anyway, Great interview Jonesy !
majorsmythe1 The Detours (Early Who) shared a similarity circuit to the early Stones. The Stones were higher up on the totem pole but they weren't that far behind each other.
Not to nit pick, but there is no "the" in the band's name. Well, OK, unless you call them by their original name; Johnny and The Self Abusers. Otherwise, it's just Simple Minds.
Luv the respect they give to Stuart adamson
The early scene recognized him as a natural/forceful guitar slinger and he would grow into a great song writer
Pure talent
God bless stu
Simple Minds Live Aid performances doesn't get enough praise.
I love it when Steve chats with fellow UK mates.
Love hearing Jonesy reminiscing with other old Brit rockers from back in the day.
I was there! 😆

They are sweet and soft-spoken. Interesting. Luv my Jonesy

I do enjoy seeing bands from my youth being interviewed by some one who knows what he is talking about, and taking a walk down memory lane.
This is yet another great interview, thanks Steve!
I'm now gonna listen to their new stuff and old stuff.. Nice people..
The Who, Greatest Pure Rock Band ever... Jim you are a 100% right mate.
An American radio-show, presented by an English guitarist with two Scotsmen. Love the accents :D
Wow Great stuff. Simple Minds, wow what a band, one of the best ever from their generation, and not to forget Jonsey love Him to bits as he would say.
No "The" Just Simple Minds.
@@nickpearce9441 I know , ""the" was used in objectively. But I will correct ..
Saw them in Boston. Great show!! I wish they just came here more often. :(
Just...the greatest interviewer ever....
Saw simple minds last week & absolutely brilliant, these guys are the real deal, professional & so composed on stage with the crowd in there hands , Charlie on the guitar is again brilliant with Jim’s vocals & stage presence is gold.
First gig i ever went to was Simple Minds when i was 15....July 1986 Frejus
Jonesy is no snob. ❤ that. Steve is that guy, amidst gunfire shrapnel and bombsmoke who walks over the line offering yer enemy a cig.
What an absolute brilliant interview..so chilled out & laid back..Jim & Charlie rock..always have, always will... DJ was cool too.
Love Simple Minds ❤ Miss Stuart Adamson (Big Country) great interview 👌
"Walk on by", One of the best pound for pound pop songs of all time. Back when pop music had beauty and integrity.
best the simple minds interview ever.
Three of the coolest men on the planet.
Got a feeling that there's going to be plenty of people in Los Angeles an Southern California checking-out The Skids and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and, of course, Simple Minds.
burchill is one of the best guitarists ever to walk this earth...
You are so right!
Burchwell.
Take his guitar away or Jim Kerr's voice away and they are not Simple Minds.
the mad daddy after hundred others yes the best ever of all times is Steve Howe from YES/ASIA then STEVE STEVENS from Billy Idol then JOSE FELICIANO then Esteban then Frank Zappa AND on!
Met him in pub in glasgow years ago. Totally down to earth and lovely bloke.
Mick was in Frantic elevators they were punk used to play Eric's in Liverpool all the time pre simply red
Saw this tour in SF at the Masonic Auditorium front row left of center. "Love Song" was definitely the best of the old stuff.
What's so great about this is that it's just as though you're eavesdropping on a personal conversation between these guys, just talking about what matters to them ... they almost forgotten that there's an audience that doesn't know who they're talking about, but that's what makes it more interesting and fun! An insight into their lives.
(Especially because they have so much in common ... it's like shop talk. 😊 Inside information is always more interesting 😉
And then the track they choose to play is about as "deep cut" as it gets: their cover of Lou Reed's "Street Hassle" 👍
One of my favorite 80s bands The Simpleminds
Christ no "The " just Simple Minds.
Fantastic banter
Has jim ever sworn in his live? Does he even know how that works? He is always so nice in interviews, a pure gentleman. Never saw any bad behavior on him... Such sweet bloke.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band was great. Never understood why they didn't make it in the U.S.
They played a legendary show in Detroit 1975/76 (the wall ) - They were on the crest of breaking through. No air play at all, None.

I saw them in New Orleans in 1975 with Jethro Tull. Went to see SAHB but they only got 45 minutes.
@@vambo13257 Till worried that Alex might steal the show.
I was scared of alex. Growing up in glasgow he reminded me of all the hard men that were about at that time. Going out on a saturday night was always a bit unpredictable.
gives me a new gold dream
81-82-83-84?;)
Really enjoyed that, now listening to The Skids
Albert Tatlock!
Jonesy enjoyed this
Great band in their time, so many no so well-known tracks that are outstanding like somewhere in summertime
Once Upon A Time:)
Great stuff.
This is a beautiful reminisce by the old cool dudes.
SAHB are amazing. Faith Healer is amazing especially the live version. The Cure covered it on the album Kerr and Charlie were talking about.

excellent, enjoyed that.
Old men stories. They’re the best! 😂
its all we have dude
You will have your own Old Man story someday!!! and, it will be great. Especially if you're still rockin at what you love doing.
Another classic !
Always interesting
We are from Glasgow and we’re Simple Minds
" Blokey Football Chat " Aside this was a very entertaining interview with the 2 Principal Members of the band!! From Adrian Browne 1965
Sex Pistols, Big Country, Simple Minds & The Skids. Phenomenal bands all!
Jonesy got it on hynde before Ray Davies and Jimmy kerr.Aye Aye Pistols history!Wink
I'm sure that's true
Love love, great
Really like The Who and love The Kinks, but credit where it's due, The Stones are the best rock n roll band ever. They've kept updating and reinventing the same thing for 55 years, they're just the best, no question.
oh yeah, "Squeeze Box" - catchy little ditty, never get tired of it
I never saw the Pistols. They were suddenly cancelled everywhere before I could. I think I was on the move to get the golden ticket to see them at The Greyhound in Croydon. I think that was the place. So I can actually say that 'I almost saw the Sex Pistols live!'.
This great

The Edge owes his career to Charlie.

Garry Baldy lmfao, he soo slow as well, it’s painful
Jonesy obviously knows nothing about Simple Minds. F boring int.

You've summarised him succintly;-in the Craig Brown school of satire..
Remove “the” article! They are just Simple Minds!! :)

too bad they didn't jam, Burchill is a hell of a player
sorry to say but he would of blew away steve.
@@themaddaddy9515 i never knew that jamming was about who's better
jonesy needs these guest 2 do some acoustic numbers
Not to nit pick, but there is no "the" in the band's name. Well, OK, unless you call them by their original name; Johnny and The Self Abusers. Otherwise, it's just Simple Minds.
Cool
I couldn’t understand a word they said but I loved it nonetheless
Lol
Probably fought with Billy Mackenzie over Ziggy Stardust
They should let Charlie speak.
No Surrender!
