Simple Minds talk Graffiti Soul and 'Rockets' (Part 2)

[caitlinniamh]

Like this album as all the others. The boys are looking fine (remember they're got to be around 50). I've always loved the way they use bass in their music. Charlie is a genius and Jim's voice is beautiful!!!!!! Just WOW!!!!!

[heliwithH]

Charlie gives me the impression of a shy and educated guy, who doesn`t speak too much but he do what he know better, to play and the quitar and this fact eliminate any explanation.

U don't need too talk to much, u should do what u know better and be the most important.

Charlie do this!

[leneyoyo]

Charlie is a brilliant guitarrist, the fact that he drives the songs but does not hog the spotlight speaks highly of him.

I do feel he is such an underrated guitarist.

[human20freedom]

CHARLIE IS A VERY GOOD GUITARIST!! LISTEN TO THE LIVE IN VERONA 1989, listen to the lives and the albums you idiot...

[thomaspeppa]

brilliant video, go Jim

[dejabiendirecto]

Grandisimos, precioso disco Graffiti Soul.

Un gran abrazo

[TheToriaBabe]

1.37 Jim sticks the two fingers upp :L

[rsweres]

Great band, good interview especially with Jim. Charlie, the silent one...the 4 sentences he said...i better forget it, it was worthless. His position in the band never pleased me...he's really not a great guitar-player, i mean actually listen to his slidings its definately childish.

[goofygoat2009]

Whaaaaa? What did Charlie say?

[Studioinsession]

Great Band, Great Music over the Years......

Good to seem them still at it.

[matadorelov]

I just had the opportunity to listen to this new great delivery from the Minds (yes I know it was released a few month back); and is a truly great album, it mixes some elements from their 80s phase, but it sounds powerful and fresh, and what's more important, it sounds like a classic already. Greetings from Peru, Hopefully one day you guys will come down...hope in a not so far future.

[strabbs1]

they geniunely look like old mates, which is nice

[gregingram1970]

JIM KERR LOOKS AS THOUGH HE HAS DOWN SYNDROME. it is just an observation and i havent attempted to be disresectful of people with the condition. No harm meant. but he does look like as he has down syndrome.

[therose059]

WTF..

[3398woody]

What a fuckin nob this lowlife gregingram1970 is.He was definately bullied at school,probably still is.I`d love him to say it to Jim Kerr instead of hiding behind his computer.Fucking soft cunt.

[gregingram1970]

ssshhh...ur called woody for a reason - woody = stiff one= hard on = dick.

simple minds sound the same as they did 25 years ago. he still looks like he has down syndrome. you fanny.

[matadorelov]

Mate you must be Bono right?

[gregingram1970]

dont be daft. im simon le bon. bono is an even bigger dick than jim downsydnrome kerr

[holden1787]

You filthy fish cunt.

[gregingram1970]

I like this song. Its catchy. I think, however, they have not moved on from their 1980s heyday. To me this song sounds the same as their big hits. They havent moved on so its a lack of credibility to them.

Ps i always thought jim kerr looks like a down syndrome person

[NovataTrance]

I think your down-syndrome comment is very rude and completely out of order. Sorry, but I think you should retract it.

[moonshiny74]

@gregingram1970 you're just jealous of Jim and the legend that is reportedly hiding behind the fly on his trousers, so you make stupid comments that are totally unfounded.

[gregingram1970]

im not jelous. he does look iffy like he has down syndrome. i love his 80s stuff...love the minds. just thoguht it was funny...no offense

[moonshiny74]

I have to say I am not happy with the way the Minds have evolved since the Breakfast Club bs, BUT anyway, Jim doesn't look like he has Down's Syndrome. If that's Down's Syndrome, it's pretty freeking hawt.

[dancersok]

as so many other listeners, i am so happy the boys are back to bless us w/their words and music.

i pray as a songwriter to be honoured to meet them someday and learn more from Burchill & Kerr. dancersok

[gwalj]

Long may these guys make music for our pleasure.

[wowwantinmore]

these guys were the first band i ever seen was still at school still lovin them

[grantie1]

wow sounds fantastic im meetin them next monday in glasgow album signing jim kerr the king

[derrenfan]

he is the king!

[ruffian1868]

Been a S.M fan for a loooooooooooong time. Saw them in 06 ( Melbourne ) and was one of the best gigs I have ever seen and heard. Certainly not a 80's has been band, always pushing forward. " Rockets " is not a big step away from the last few albums but still a hooky chorus. I look forward to the new album.

[REYVOLPACCIUSS]

the best jim kerr!!!

[PositiveLastAction]

Fairly boring tune. But I hope the rest of the album is good!

[therose059]

yes thank you .. for vid up date

[tattysnr]

jim always talks sense.

[faddy24]

God bless 'em. It's been a long journey but the Minds are back with a bang! Spread the word.
