  • They seem like such cool guys. RIP Davy.

  • I don't care what anybody says....the Beatles were over rated!!

    Long Live the Monkees!!

  • @BrightStaroftheDawn are u 4real? or is this irony....

  • @themilkbarw4

    I am for real, and it is ironic that it's true.

    I think you were looking for the word "sarcastic"....no, I am not being sarcastic.

    The Beatles started by scratch playing together, then kicked Pete Best out..replaced him with Ringo who none knew and couldn't sing. Payed girls to scream and chase them, and made their own set of movies and cartoons. They were also fabricated and commercialized with bobble heads, lunchboxes, and bed sheets.

    So much drama in the group, that..

  • @themilkbarw4

    ....it was hard to enjoy the music without thinking about John and Yoko all the time.

    The music made no sense and seemingly slapped together, imo. The M's  lyrics hit you in the heart. You felt the music.

    The only Beatle that had any harmony in music was George, and they never let him surface.

    Yeah, I like the M's, they kept their private lives out of the industry a lot better, and I am sure they didn't have to pay the girls.

  • @BrightStaroftheDawn no disrespect, but you are balmy. the beatles were the standard at the time. they opened the flood gates to all that great music. 60's rock and roll is the best and lives on.

  • @bornyesterday21

    Well, imo, they were a part of it, not the head of it.

    I guess it's just different taste in music when it boils down to it, between the B's and the M's.

    I will say though, the band with their heart into it's music is by far the Rolling Stones. Yes, they are getting a tad wrinkly, but one can't deny the commitment, and of course we must mention Golden Earring, too.( I just like R'ng S's better)

  • Mikey Dolenz looks just like Jack Nicholson!!

    

  • wheres mikey?

  • 45 years on, the Monkees were great. Godspeed, Davy.

  • Oh, I miss him. May he rest in peace. He was such a sweetheart.

  • No one know the day or the hour death comes .I love the monkees from my childhood ... Ask Jesus to forgive your sins He is just and faith to do this ...

  • Davey Jones.....classy guy...watching this video brings back the great memories of growing up during the 60`s......R.I.P..Davey Jones

  • 合掌

  • Goodbye Davy. You left us way too soon. Blessed be.

  • Davy Jones Manc Hero RIP

  • RIP, Davy Jones...I'll alway remember you, your awesome face and the happiness that you gave to us.

  • RIP Davey

  • Thanks for making my sad childhood have happy memories. Davy, you will be missed!!! 66 is way too young to die!

  • :( goodbye Davy this seems just like yesterday

  • The Monkees made the first music videos and they were fun to watch! Back in the day video music was fun without being overtly sexy and as sickeningly sexist as it is today. It was just fun.

  • It is a Sad Day. Loved the Monkees.

  • : ( Sad day - Davy will be missed by at least a couple of generations of kids/music lovers/ and the young at heart.

    Everyone direct positive thoughts to his family and each other. You never know what life has in store, I guess.

  • Shocked n saddened. RIP Davy.

  • Cocaine killed Davy Jones !!!

    BBC

  • @californiaspinnaker Thanks for that quincy,you daft tit.......

  • Man they were great fun to watch back then, guess we were pretty dorky compared with the new hipsters today but I wouldn't trade for anything! Long live The Monkees!

  • What a shame. At least he died in his sleep. Which I l know is of absolutely no consolation for his loved ones. I'd forgotten they were on The One Show last year. You can see the chemistry. But no Michael Nesmith

  • GOD BLESS YOU FOREVER DAVY JONES.

  • I've noticed that barrel-chested men have heart problems 'early on'. Davey didn't used to be so, but developed such later. Just an observation noticed over the years. No disrespect intended toward him or his family.

  • never knew how big the monkees were in britain, till today

    rip davy

  • Love these guys always !!!!

  • Wow, to think Davy died a week later...RIP Davy you will be missed

  • @strawbootie

    This was from 2011 not 1 week ago!

    RIP Davy.

  • @MrGeno502 Oh derp me, I didn't read the year! LOL Nevermind!!!

  • Their tv show was great, loved it as a kid.

  • MISS YOU DAVY

    RIP-A FAN SINCE 1965.

  • I see that Davey's wife is 32 years younger than him. Look like someone making a Monkee out of him once again.

  • There will be no other singer of Daydream believer like Davy. R.I.P. and thanks for the laughs!

  • RIP Davy Jones. I was lucky enough to see The Monkees at the Royal Albert Hall last year and it was a great, fun show! Another legend gone way too soon... :(

  • R.I.P DAVY JONES..YOU WERE AWESOME.

  • I so love accents! Awesome! Davy was the cutest followed by Micky

  • I grew up watching the Monkees ... good memories ... their show got me interested in music .. bye ... Davy ... RIP.

  • Wished this was a terrible daydream. Don't want to be a believer that Davy Jones died. R.I.P. ...now you are free.

  • RIP 

  • R i P Davey Jones you will be missed.

  • Glee pushes an agenda. The Monkees allowed people to just watch and enjoy without trying to hit audiences with politicizing. Wish more producers didn't kowtow to liberal bullying.

  • Shoe Suede Blues :P. I wonder is Peter Tork is a Carl Perkins fan, or was inspired by his work.

  • Damn, didnt even recognize Davy jones! The other two look the same, just aged.

  • I don't think its just about getting old that's their problem, Maybe they didn't care about taking care of themselves. Davy Jones and Peter Tork are assholes in real life by the way.

  • @thatbamadude I didn't know Davy Jones and Peter Tork are like that. They sure fooled me all this time. They don't socialize either according to David Jones. They just perform together but don't hang out.

  • @thatbamadude You have personal experience w/ Jones & Tork?

  • Man they look like shit, what the hell happened to them???

  • @thatbamadude they got old

  • @imapowerranger27 Wow - they got old. That's amazing! I didn't know they were humans and aged like everyone else on planet Earth.

  • Micky Donlenz is hasn't changed as much

  • @MascotOfAGeneration I hope he never changes.

  • Micky Dolenz also voiced the bad cop in Powerpuff Girls and one of the constructions in Transformers Animated.

  • Can something be done about Brandreth?

  • You can't compare The Monkees (*.*) to Glee - even if you are a Monkee...

  • Davy, nice try with the Grammy. The only one who has one isn't even THERE!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • It could only be better if Wool Hat was there >.<

  • Davy Jones has the same rare accent as Graham Nash, though unsurprisingly as they both were brought up in Manchester and then spent most of their time in the US since the late '60s

  • Amazing luck for the BBC to find Alex Jones as she looks SO much like Christine Bleakley that no wonder they snapped her up for this. She even makes the same faces as her. She is lovely as well though

  • funny how mike nesmith isn't even mentioned

  • @pramboy09 He WAS !!.

  • @pramboy09 Watch the whole thing again (or fast forward to 12:27). Then, remove your comment.

  • manchester rocks

  • "When I knew That The Monkees were going to be here, it was obvious which film we were going to pull off the shelf.......Otters."

  • I always wondered what Randy Scouse Git meant.

  • the real Peter died yrs ago. that's his identical twin brother.

  • @jenkzkh  No, I kidnapped the real Peter 43 years ago, and he's been living in my cellar in south west England ever since ♥

  • They come to Dallas? I'm there. If I have to Monkee Walk the Whole way!

  • I know that Mike never needed the money, having inherited $90 million from his mother, who invented Liquid Paper, but it would have been great if he had wanted to be with them, as well.

  • What happened to Mike Nesmith their lead guitarist?

  • @XxshipleyxX - agreed! His songs he wrote for the show (e.g. "Mary Mary", which was his first) were FANTASTIC.

  • @XxshipleyxX He mostly preferred to work on his own projects; music video development, his own music, etc.

  • Reg! Reginald Fairfield!

  • Thanks deadite87 for editing this for us to watch. You did a great job!

  • I seen them live on June 12th at Niagara FallsView Casino/Resort (my papà wanted to take me) At first I was thinking well they're not from my era and I might not like it Even though I did know a few of their songs....

    But was I WRONG the concert was not boring....it was AMAZING!! Definitely I would go see them again =)

  • Peter has a really sweet face, and the dimples are still there :)

  • @SarahMilton64 ...Yeah...Peter was the cutest Monkee in my eyes (you can keep your Davy Jones!!)

  • @Torkgasmicgirl8 Other interesting interviews are 'the Monkees on People are talking' 'The Monkees on Clive James talks back 1997' '14th annual American music awards'.  Tour cancelled THAT SUCKS.

  • @SarahMilton64 ..Thanks for that Sarah! -- I'm going to check them out now! - Love Jacqui X

  •  I saw them on tour best concert I've ever been too.

  • Why was the hat bluured out?

  • The ONE "dislike" HAS to be Nesmith. LOL

  • As a kid i used to love the tv shows, and actualy i had there firsts album, and theThirty Twelf lp(?). But now listening back i realy hate there music. Can't understand i liked it. From which loony bunch they escaped anyway? They act like there totaly stupid!

  • Seeing them in September, been waiting for 45 years!

  • @burnabybrent yeah me too so0o excited <3

  • Gonna see them in 2 weeks!

  • David and Mick are so talkative that Peter can hardly get a word in. He's so darn cute. I know what it's like to have talkative friends. lol

  • Oh BTW: I have my tickets for the Monkees performance in Columbus OH at the end of June...do you all have yours when the Monkees come to your town??

  • That's brill I'm jealous

  • I Saw Them Perform On 23rd Of May And I Think They Were Really Good :D

    I Got To Go On Stage :)

  • I have seen all four of them perform in the nineties and I am a Nesmith fan but I have to say the concert I went to last night was far more superior than any I have been to before. The guys rocked.

  • Tickets purchased for the 25th anniversary of their 20th anniversary tour !

  • The concerts were excellent! Well worth the ticket price. Well done guys.

  • I think the fact that they don't get along seems to add to their chemistry on stage! In a strange sort of way

  • I'm more inclined to believe Peter that they're touring because of money than Davy's answer that it's because they like each other. I'm sure they have a bond, but touring generally leads them to badmouthing each other. I think they just can't get along if they're together for very long.

  • @DumbSnowGuy It's happening! It's brilliant!! Get over it!!! :-))

  • Rock on, boys. For whatever reason they're on the road again, I am delighted. I have tickets to see them for two shows in the Pacific Northwest. They are a beloved part of my childhood, and I'm glad they're healthy and performing together again.

  • I saw Peters band a few years ago and they were really good. My son has the cd from that we got then. It;s good

  • Thumbs up if you've got tickets to see them for the tour :)

  • @sedg166 ...Yes I saw them in Glasgow...fantastic show...they're on form ...even in 2011 !!

  • i saw them last time in lexington Ky.In 2001.

    My sister and I have been to see them 7 times between 1996 and 2001.

    Also saw them in the great 20th anniversary tour in 1986.

    they are always great!

    I

  • Nesmith was always the coolest Monkee (and the most talented).

    Therefore, if there's no Nesmith, it's not The Monkees in my eyes.

  • @MechoMadness --- that comment is so 1986

  • @rjpcambridge

    Well I witnessed them (all four) perform in the nineties.

    So, I repeat, if there's no Nesmith, it's not The Monkees.

    P.S. I also love Peter Tork. Actually, I'd much rather see "Tork 'n' Nesmith" perform than this...

  • @MechoMadness My friend, check Youtube for klbax63's covers of the Monkees tunes "The Girl That I Knew Somewhere", "You Just May Be The One", and "What Am I Doing Hangin' Round". This Dallas TX phenomenon by the name of Kevin L Baxter is sooo excellent that I and many others swore it was Mike Nesmith singing! Check him out and you'll surely agree with the rest of the responses on Youtube, then email the Monkees and let them know that Kevin is absolutely perfect to step in as Mike on tour!

  • @spanishcastles56

    Thanks for that. He's really very good, the audio likeness is uncanny.

    But...

    Michael Nesmith is alive and well. I find the idea of three genuine Monkees, plus a Nesmith sound-alike, slightly poor taste. May as well go and see a tribute band. Sorry.

  • @MechoMadness Mickey looks like Newt Gingrich(that's not a compliment..)

  • @MechoMadness total bull.......mike wrote great songs, true, but mickey had the best rock voice and pete was the better guitar player 9theoretically -- i.e. they hardly let him play it)..........but, yes, it's sad mike has to be the killjoy.

  • why do these people still worry about all that old garbage?who cares about who plays on what,well today nearly all the so called superstars mime live,britny,rhianna,madonna,an­d dont get me started on about autotune.

  • @DumbSnowGuy the reason they are touring is totally up to them! There are loads of fans are just glad we got our tickets and can't wait to see them!

  • Peter's speech sounds different - his "S"s. Kinda like he has false teeth?

  • @sshelget It's probably more to do with the surgery he had for the cancer. They had to literally crack his jaw open so, when they fixed him up, I think it effected his speech slightly.

  • How many times has Davy said "never agian!" haha...well I think this is good news even though I dont live the live sound these days I wouldnt begrudge them playing shows.I like that they still can and certianly should for the fans! What I want is the Japan68 or any official live from 1969 to officially come out.

  • I saw that turd Peter Tork in Pittsburgh earlier this month. The old fart wanted 30.00 for an autograph. Still like him and the Monkees, but hell.

  • @DumbSnowGuy we are never going to agree on this! Why can't you just accept the fact that they are touring and that we as fans get to see them and enjoy their music one more time maybe for the last time. So let's enjoy it and I also know from others that they are NOT assholes!!

  • I am going to see them in Birmingham and Nottingham. So looking forward to it can't wait

  • Lol micky: I WAS SO YOUNG

  • I am going to see them when they come Columbus Ohio here in the states. This is concert #4 for me... I am so STOKED that they are touring again....

  • I saw them when they had their last major tour in the late 80's. I am booking my tickets for the UK gig!!

  • Yeah you can also keep up to date in facebook on the Peter H Tork page

  • I think it's all overblown that they dont like each other. They keep coming back together for tours so they must have love for one another in some way. It's been a decade since they have been together so this is special and could be the last time ever. Let's face it they are all in their 60's approaching 70 but they all look great. Glad to see Peter has recovered from the cancer. Mike should be with them also. Life is too short and he should be with these guys plain and simple.

  • Oh please please please come to the United States!!!!!!!! The last time I saw you guys was at the World Trade Center. Peter - I'm so glad you're okay now and well enough to tour. And Micky - I love your new CD!!!!!! I bought it for myself and for three of my friends!!!!!! Can't wait to see you guys!!!!!!

  • @DumbSnowGuy so they're touring for the money there is nothing wrong with that. We go and see them because we love the music. We love the guys and for me personally this is something that I have longed for for many years. All credit to them

  • I've been a big fan in the past and saw enough of them in the recent past shows, but won't go anymore. It's true, it is only for the money they are doing it. Peter is being honest. It's also not news that they really don't like each other. So why would anyone want to see them now? Guess some people don't care and just want to go hear those songs. I'll still go see Peter's blues band stuff, but that's it.

  • got my tickets!!! hell yeah!!

  • I have my fingers crossed that they might come to Australia ... Had Lunch with Micky from A Ebay auction ...What a Guy and great stories !! ... Thanks for posting this !! ... If you want to see one of the best monkees collections of memorabillia..check it out on my videos ... _

  • I picked up Dolenz's latest cd and was really good. Does Peter have any solo lps?

  • @theLaNDoftheLOOPS I don't know if it's available on vinyl or only on CD but there's an solo album called "Stranger Things Have Happened" and I think there's an Shue Suede Blues CD

  • @Dumbsnowguy they are only trying to make a living like all of us are. There are alot of fans that are very happy that they are touring again and can't wait to see them!

  • @Dumbsnowguy you are talking a load of crap!!

  • Aw I wanted to see the otters!

  • I have at least half of the stuff on that memorabilia table.... I feel special. ^_^ And they didn't say much about Mike did they? I'd enjoy it if he came along on tour, but I'd also understand if he didn't want to.

  • Thanks so much for posting this, deadite87! I had heard about this appearance and hoped I would get a chance to see it. Nice job of editing, too, and so nice that Peter, Micky and Davy got to stay on the show for the duration, it looks like. Peter was so good at that trivia game -- way to go!

  • well thats a bit of alright now isnt it!

  • Peter Tork seems a bit put out by The Mickster, doesn't he?

    Probably not his best day, i'view-wise.

  • THANK you so much for sharing this with us! :)

    You are appreciated .... *smiles warmly at you*

  • This is fantastic the interviewers treated them with the respect they truly deserve. I can't wait to see them. Micky is amazing!!!

  • @TheBestLoser001 By "us", I assume you mean the States and they are planning to tour there as well. There are already some venues announced I believe, they probably want to see how well they go down over here before they really work on the US leg of the tour.

  • @deadite87 they'll be in the US I'm going to see them in Hershey, PA on June 20

  • Great to see three-quarters of the band back together again!

  • haha! see how they totally dont mention nez not being on board?

    im guessing some rules were laid down before the show!!

    Even without my fave monkee im still super excited to see them!

  • Look at poor Davy's hands!!!

  • @sanham1954 what's up with them?

  • we love these guys !

  • It's joyful to see these Characters back bantering as we all did as kids when young.

  • Davy hates Peter's guts. Look at how he glares at him. Yikes!

  • @swker79 i was not too fond of peter when i met him, so i understand

  • YESSSSSSS!!!  :D

  • I can't wait to see the guys when they come to the states! That being said, Davy doesn't look happy, Peter and Micky look and sound excited. I hope they can get along long enough to complete the tour.

  • @mrsblc So it wasn't just me who noticed Davy's having a mood again. I seriously don't know why he is this moody and it gets worse the older he gets. I guess it's a contradiction thing he loves that he gets the attention and new fans but also feels he's put upon to have to perform even though this is who he is and loved for and still is good at it. He should be happy he is not that wipe out who cannot sing anymore that nobody remembers who forces himself on an audience who doesn't care

  • Thanks for sharing this clip, just awesome. The Monkees start their tour in Liverpool!! :)
