Yes this is so cool, loved the Zombies I was around 13 in 1964 a budding upright bass player soon to be electric bass player. But figuring out these songs was such a challenge and then playing them in our band was so rewarding. What times and yes discovering blues and jazz too. Thanks Joe hope all is well with you!
Thanks for watching John..Joe
I can't believe how you keep outdoing yourself Joe. You have to be one of the best, if not the best interviewers in any category! I thought I knew a lot about music till I found this channel.
Thanks Ed….Joe
I was a huge Zombies fan as a kid...But, in 1976 I found Argent Live on cassette and I remember listening to that tape in my Fiat Spider for years singing along...I had no idea Rod Argent was the Zombie guy until I bought that cassette.....
This is such a lovely surprise with my morning coffee...
Joe, you continue to astound me...
Cheers from Siem Reap...
These are the fine, upstanding, educated lads who gave us "What's your name, who's your daddy?"
Ron is truly one of the best keyboard players in Rock and Roll history. Colin had such unique phrasing to his vocals. True rock and rollers.
I've been listening to these guys since I was in the 4th or 5th grade, and I can't believe I'm 67 now and still enjoying their records, not to mention how lucky my husband and I have been to see them live three times ..... Sacramento, Berkeley and Petaluma. I'm even friends with one of them on facebook. They're as nice as they are talented, and I'm so happy they're finally in the RRHOF, they so deserved it.
Thanks guys for taking good care of yourselves, so we can still enjoy your work. Love you all!!
As mentioned by others Oracle and Odessey is a fabulous record. Criminally underrated. I never knew about til about 5 years ago and I’ve played it 100 x since then. Absolutely all killer and zero filler. It’s a shame it did not take off commercially. Also search YT for the reunited Zombies doing a live complete concert of the album. It is just fantastic.
I still have the album.
I was a fan of the Zombies back in the 60s and couldn't get enough of them. Another great interview, Joe. And part 2 is yet to come. 👍
Thank you Elmo…Joe
Here's a concert for ya... Foghat, Beck, Bogart & Appice then Argent.
2 complete shows in one day but Argent played last in the second show, it was a weeknight and people were leaving early, It was my Friday night,
Damn ! Fognat was LOUD.
An absolute cornerstone in the firmament of rock & roll.
Joe…AWESOME interview here. Thank you for getting these guys in. This is gonna urge me to do more Zombies “listening homework.” I owe it to myself.
Thanks for supporting us luv…Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum you’re very welcome Joe.
Thanks so much for this "Chat". Part of my Heart has been Zombied for 50-something Years. Total Devotion.🎩
Joe, amazing!!!! Remember when we were 10 hearing the Zombies on AM radio for the first time! This interview is timeless for me, thanks! !
Yeah me too "Time of the season"
@@mauricedibert2635 Me, too. I was just starting high school, when that one came out.
If you owned a AM transistor radio, and listened to it up against your ear, late at night…….a Zombie song was played and you will never forget it. - - 60 yrs ago. Colin has one of the best voices in rock - - - ever - - - and still has it!
As a young teen in E. TN. that little transistor radio was my magic window on the world of new music.
Nice interview. Very conversational, the best way to draw out artists' responses. And how down to earth Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone come off. Two British Invasion legends who have not let success go to their heads.
This interview is a perfect example of why.
Teach Truth in Schools !!!
What a super discussion! Both Rod and Colin really seem into it. Long a Zombies and Argent fan, I can't wait for part two! Outstanding job, as always, Joe.
Joe and Jay, great job. The Zombies are great. The interesting way they approached rhythm and harmony is timeless and still sounds as fresh as it did those many years ago.
Thanks, Thomas!
@@jaymcdowell5209 can’t wait for Part 2
Don’t know why this just occurred to me - Jay and Joe have the coolest jobs….ever. Interviewing, or more accurately, chatting with, real musicians for real fans. You just can’t beat that. All styles of music treated with respect and regard for the people that made/make it happen. You guys remind us that it took several years of hard work and a little bit of good fortune to be an “overnight sensation”.
@@thomasbenson523 It's true. Don't tell anyone or they may take it away from me. I always say that I have the best job in the world. I still can't believe I get to do these videos. It's the best. Part two just went up and part three will be coming soon. Thanks for watching, Thomas.
@@jaymcdowell5209 Thank you!!
Joe, what an awesome episode! Like you, the Zombies have always been a favorite band! It’s interesting to see Rod and Collin interact and communicate in a very special way! Thanks for sharing!💫
"Rock n Roll". Perhaps another genre of music fading into history.
❤️ Joe C, fabulous fabulous fabulous as usual. thank you so much you bring me a lot of musical joy
Absolute legends!! Thank you, Joe. It’s so good to hear from these guys.
God, The Zombies - what a blast from the past! I really loved the British Invasion music, even though it put a huge dent into the American music scene at the time; The Hollies, Kinks, Moody Blues, Petula Clark; great stuff. "It's a 5 o'clock world when the whistle blows", "Downtown", "Lazing on a sunny afternoon; in the summertime". Look forward to Parts 2 & 3. Joe.
Colin sings the lead vocal on one of my all-time favorite songs. It's called 'Don't Answer Me' by the Alan Parsons Project. It's one of the few songs in the world that can choke me up. Beautiful song. He's a fantastic singer.
@Tom Carl. I think you will find that the lead vocal on "Don't Answer Me" is the songs' co - writer (with Alan Parsons) Eric Woolfson. Although Colin Blunstone does sing vocals on other Alan Parsons Project songs. Stay safe and well.
What lovely guys. Well deserved honor too.
"Carried away by Zombies" 😂 love this Joe!
Glad you enjoyed it mtc… Happy Easter..Joe
Love it Joe! Hold Your Head Up was a game changer in so many ways, let alone all the great Zombies material, though I was 7 when She's not There hit the charts so I missed a lot of that until later in life.
Have loved the Zombies since the the mid sixties , my early teens.
Really enjoyed this and very much looking forward to more! Argent's first LP was my first rock record as a kid (I'm 59) and I soaked up every molecule of it, cover included. As usual you have a great rapport Joe, and I'm frankly proud that you represent a Southern American fan's genuine appreciation to these Englishmen. Thanks for this!
Thanks again tusked…Joe
I was recently watching The Zombies from a television performance back in the sixties. And I certainly did noticed what they were say regarding cameras missing the great keyboard playing. Really enjoy all these interviews. Thanks for bringing them to us.
Everything Joe said goes for me too! All of us went to see Argent, I believe at the Sportatorium, Hollywood Fl. I wish I knew how many bands performed there.
This is a terrific interview! I just saw The Zombies at the Ryman Auditorium and they were magical. Blunstone's voice is still beautiful and Rod's keyboards were amazing. Odyssey and Oracle is my favorite album of all time and I loved hearing them talk about how their music is made. Thank you so much.
Zombies. So many great songs! Thank you!
No doubt the Zom's were one of the sound tracks of my life but I really really loved that organ solo on Mr. Argent 1972 Hold your head up high on that B3 best ever... thanks Joe. have a great Easter.
Have a great Easter too blue.. Joe
Great interview, Joe. I'm going to have to listen to it again and then maybe a third time. Precious stories.
One of my favorite bands of the 60s! Thank you Joe!! PLAY LOUD
Always killer content, thanks Joe. Looking forward to the rest of it.
Thanks Al…Joe
Great interview! The Zombies are one of my all time favorites. Can't wait for part two!!
I can listen to the ZOMBIES talk all day long and listen to their songs played all night long. Lovely great show.
Love the "to be continued" series. Thanks Joe!
I think almost every song they made should of been a massive hit, one of the most underrated bands of all time and one of my favorites of all time
Fantastic show, Joe! Wow, the Zombies!
Paul Shaffer of the David Letterman show has cited the Zombies as what got him into music, especially Argent's keyboard playing.
Was big fan of the zombies and then argent.
Since visiting Memphis about 20 years ago, I've been fascinated how pop and rock music "evolved". Hearing Ron and Colin talk about many forms of American music "pollinating" British music thru very limited channels such as seaport cities (e.g. Liverpool) opened up a whole new thought to me about the evolution of UK pop music I hadn't considered. I'm guessing also kids spending hours upon hours in record shop listening booths, hearing these various music forms not heard on the Beeb, had a big role too
Such talents
Thank you Joe! One of my all time favorite bands. I'm like you, when I hear them on the radio I never change it and always turn it up. Looking forward to the rest of the interview.
Thank you Joe for another great interview. Super fun 👍🏻😎
Finally! I'm getting around to watching this interview. Shame on me. What a great pair to interview Joe. Great job. Immediately I can see the genius of young Rod Argent. Now on to the rest.
They were terrific at the Ryman the night after they recorded this interview. Really timeless sound. Looking forward to their new LP.
ya Joe !!
I loved this part! Can’t wait for more content!
Mr. Chambers, you are the best! I don't think there is anyone that has the library of the most important and informative interviews more than you! Thanks again for your insight to record these for prosperity! Just awesome.
Thank you very much Michael. I really appreciate it…..Best, Joe
BBC made great musicians with their strict rules, made great recording of more videos than any other, made historic recordings like none other Thank God for BBC
They were fabulous!
Great interview Joe and especially for me being a big Zombies fan. Despite their advancing years, Rod and Colin still look hip. Remember that Santana also had a hit with She's not There. Loved your comment about the drunken engineer being taken away by zombies, that really made me laugh. Can't wait for parts 2 & 3. Thanks Joe, you're the best.
PS I know you are a fan of Chicago and Terry Kath. Check out the Lexington Lab Band who do a spot-on version of 25 or 6 to 4.
Thanks rocket… yes I love Kath. I’ll check it out….Joe
Johnny Hooker taught many, those great blues 💙 What a wonderful interview, thanks Joe & Zombies ✌️🤟💜
Thanks for watching again Nelly…Joe
"Odessey & Oracle" is among the best albums of all-time. Better than most Beatles albums. And shout out to Blunstone's vocals on Alan Parson's record,. "Old And Wise", as that ranks up there with the best songs of the 80s.
Love all these interviews!
good one joe , i also love hold your head up...
Wow Joe , what's there not to like? Keep 'em coming, fantastic interviews.
Thanks Larry…Joe
Another super interview.
Love The Zombies! However please be aware that they have been writing and releasing new albums since 2008, and have just about finished a brand new album coming out soon. Check out "Moving On", from their 2015 Album Still Got That Hunger.
Or, Breathe Out Breathe In from 2011 Album of the same name. Usually everyone talks about their 3 big singles hits from the 1960's, yet they've got at least 300 other songs worth checking out.
This was an awesome interview. I'm a fan of The Zombies. Hope you have a Happy Easter. Cheers, Joe! ✌️
Happy Easter too Dwayne…Joe
Great! Thanks, Joe!
Thanks Ernesto…Joe
Great interview very interesting
Good stuff. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks for what you do, it’s quite noble. ✌️👍
Cool! Thanks, Joe!
Thanks again Dana…Joe
Hey, Joe, "carried away by Zombies" is the best line of the clip; great job as always!
Hi 05645ci…. Thanks for watching…. Glad you enjoyed it… best, Joe
Great interview and so excited to see the zombies play at park city tonight
Nice.
It's so true with regard to 60's TV/Music video Cameramen constantly zooming into the wrong instrument during the solos. I guess in hindsight the Camera operators were all probably in their 30's, 40's or 50's and didn't have a clue as to which instrument was making that loud FUZZ noise, so whether it be the Yardbirds or the Kinks they would invariably zoom into the biggest guitar...the Bass. Check any 60's music video and you'll see what Imean, it;s uncanny!!
Thanks Joe for this amazing interview with one of the greatest Bands of all time, the Zombies. Colin Blunstone's voice is every bit as good today as it was in 1965. Just amazing how good these guy's still sound.
OS Looking forward to the rest of the interview.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts too doc…. Joe
I always love your interviews Joe...
Thanks Tim..Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum eagerly awaiting part 3🙂
Thanks again Joe !!!
Thanks Chase..Joe
What an awesome interview Joe! I remember hearing the Zombies for the first time when I was a senior in High School! Their music was so unique sounding & now I know why! Looking forward to the follow up segments of your interview. Hope that you are well. Also, when is your book set to be released? Thanks.
This Summer for the book Steve.. thanks..Joe
Another great one Joe!
Thanks Cudaus.. Joe
Joe.
If you haven't heard yet, but our friend Ken Posey has passed away.
He sure thought the world of you.
Hi Andy… yes Nickey let me know the night it happened. Very sad. Thanks for making sure I knew Andy…Best, Joe

@@timhoovermusicman telling...."the people"...saw them many times at local "battles of the bands"..❤
