Newsboys - Simple Man

[kanyino]

woaaaahh Peter had that much hair????? whaaaattt??

[AustinBoydte]

The 80's, (or early 90's) those were the times. (Stares longingly at the wall)

[FlameofFire07]

why is he painting a pentagram on the board? the old man.

[armstrongbrosband]

Who else thinks that john james sounds like geddy lee from the band rush?

[armstrongbrosband]

Sean Taylor is the best bass player the newsboys have had.

[tiffisforeverHIS]

THIS is the Newsboys I love!! John James was an awesome frontman and with those weird dance moves of his! Ha! Love this song and video, thanks for posting it!

[thnikkkaman]

I'm convinced that Peter Furler and Andrea Agassi are the same person

[code61286]

it was an end of an era when john james stepped down..and same goes for peter....i just think micheal tait ehhhhh its like messing with cosmic forces....or its like mic jagger now singing for areosmith...just too weird for me...in my opinion dc talk should of never broken up....they would of surpassed the newsboys...i mean lets.face it...kevin max is the greatest.singer ever

[tony702able]

I love simple man is a great song!!!

[cdngal75]

WOW, can't believe this song is on here. I saw the Newsboys open for DCTalk in 1991. This is what Newsboys was like back then.........amazing how they changed. Loved them then and now. And I feel REALLY OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dan00bindahouse]

Barbie drums?

[vegasboy27]

Jesus a simple man My GOD

[CJLTV]

Who brought the old guy?

[thommac]

I booked the newsboys back around this time when they had an off day on there tour with Mylon. Jibba (jonathan Geange) was by far my fav. guitar player with the boyz and Sean held down a great bass line. After my show in Stuart Fla. I had to take Peter to a pawn shop so he could buy a new drum kit, seems they went through one every week or so.

GOOD Times

[brennanthebrown]

AS THEY STARTED TO FALL, AS ITS STARTED TOO BURN!!, 2 est parts of the song

[stantler16]

[FrettedFingersMusic]

[CallmeZimmy]

Oh man, it's been a long time since I've seen this. I'm gonna have to dig out my Not Ashamed video and watch the whole thing now!

[leetdahl]

Four words: Peter...Furler...Hair....DANG!­!! :D

[newsboysfan222]

not just hair but long hair :)

[bethanys1010]

I know! ROFL! I was like is that who I think it is?!? Hahaha Wow! He even had short platinum blonde hair for Take Me To Your Leader

[phyloes2]

lol!!! its all so clear now, phil joel just kept the 80s hair, because every one else went bald!!!

[bethanys1010]

I KNOW! WOW! Hahahaha!

[nbXfreak96]

Oh, come it's not THAT bad is it?.... (snickers) Okay maybe it is.

[WalterMelones]

Pete Is in fact the drummer in this video. I can't believe he had that much hair!!!!!!! the singer is none other than THE John James! We miss you James!!!!!!

actually, I miss Furler! He officially left newsboys on march 26th (??or at least the end of march)

I miss Phil Joel also. They're all amazing!

[leetdahl]

Not to mention the fairly recent departure of Paul Colman... The Boys are changing all the time it seems. THE best is yet to come, though, count on it!!! :D

[Michelle062970]

I miss James, too.. :( and now Peter the last remaining ORIGINAL Newsboy is gone...what is this world coming to? LOL j/k. Michael was "ok" at the concert I went last week. It was more, though, like a Tribute concerts for Newsboys and DC talk..

[RuizFelipeDaniel]

LOL they both lost their hair

[Jesusfreak7X77]

wrong he only drums a tom tom look closer.  open your eyes

[loidaeg]

Oh my gosh!!! thanks for the video! been looking for it for forever! =) This was the VERY FIRST video I ever saw of the Newsboys and LOVED them since then! I miss John and Peter together like this. I will forever remember Newsboys like this. =) wow..

[jeffsarahmd]

AHHHH!!!! I remember this video! This was the first time I experienced their music...and I love it now like I did then. Wow, they have changed. I miss John James!

[und3rdog4jc]

wow? that's Peter? can't believe.

[Gasboys101]

i love the newsboys! i saw them last summer.

[regnar23]

I'd say this band has moved me as much as any.90's christian music was incredible.

[flameyouthgroup]

john james gota love that guy and his dancing

[OperaPhantom91]

He had a great voice! First, I couldn't believe that he left, and then I couldn't understand why he didn't join back up.

[Neptuneman07]

Newsboys back in the early Aussie days of being the ultimate CCM Midnight OIL!!! Rock on!!!!

[guitarcastle2]

Oh my gosh! Peter had hair, and a lot of it too! Cool guitar, and I love John's vest! God bless Mr. Finster!

[jesusrocks1994]

Ah! Pete have hair!! AH! Lol!

Why does Peter have pink drums...o.O lol

[legochick08]

i think the newsboys are better than ever now this vid made me lol but i love there new stuff better except i miss phih joel he was so cool i think now is the best group of the newsboys ever

[ProAdopt]

HaHa squeezy....trust me...its them... III was there lol! The newsboys had a ton of turnover with band members back in the early days! I guess the band at heart was peter furhlers vision and so he continued when a lot of them got married and moved on etc. Peter never used to sing! He just sat there and wacked the drums :-D

[numberonejesusfreak]

omg seeing peter furler with long hair is sooo funny and they were soo 80s at the time this was done! rofl

[SNaomiQ]

Phil Joel came in 95. I think Jeff came in 94

[PeteyIrish]

I beleive Peter originally was the drummer. If you watch the old videos closely you'll see him on the drums.

[jetking88]

yeah, i like him better on the drums that duncan philips. also miss john james. can't have everything.

[tray74]

Boy does this bring back memories; I saw their first concert tour when they came to America and toured with Mylon LeFevre!

[newsboysfreakgirl]

so u were one of the 12 people... minus Peter's mother... lol

[tray74]

LOL!

[newsboysfreakgirl]

i suprise myself sometimes... dod you see the Go Tour?? Awseome!!!!

[tray74]

Actually, I've only seen them twice, both when they were the group dejour. First time was with Mylon & Broken Heart; second time was with Audio Adenaline. Talk about high energy! That was the first time I saw the spinning drums, too!

[newsboysfreakgirl]

i've seen them twice too, but the 1st time i was 6, too young to remember. then i saw them in April with Stellar Kart and Kutless. look to see if there comming to a city near you... it was the coolest thing. tobyMac's Diverse city tour came in 2nd place, and i have no idea how i remember that because i was little there, too. Audio A. split up =( it was sad when i heard that on K-Love. oh, well... i still have a CD =P

[guitarguy5]

is this the same christian band

[newsboysfreakgirl]

yeah, but this is when they first got started. the're way better now.

[SqueezyCornbread]

That is not the same band. Jeff Frankenstein, Phil Joel, and Peter Furler were in the band from it's beginning. Point out to me which of those mullet-wearing men are Jeff, Phil, and Peter, and maybe I'll agree it's the same band.

[newsboysfreakgirl]

Jeff came in 94 with going public. phil came in on Microphone. peter's tho only 1 whos left from the origonal band. those are old newsboys, the first.

[luckystar007]

No, Phil came in late '94 actually!

[luckystar007]

Yes they are. Jeff and Phil came in in '93 and '94. Peter and John James are in there though LOL

[dearlylovedbyhim]

I think they were better than.

[Caleb9849]

SqueezyCornbread, you're retarded. Not every band has the exact same members forever.

[xman177]

This song ROX! Too bad the Newsboys have mellowed out in the past 5 or 10 years. Got any other vids from their early days? 1990 was a spectacular year in Chrisian music!

[Member557]

It's so sad watching this...

[TheCovenantProgress]

Man, they've changed so much since then. I can't even believe this is the same band.

[newsgirl132]

Heavens. What is that on Pete's head!?! lol :)

[poorsoldier]

Were these bad clothes then?

[2cor517man]

Wow! Thanks for posting this "old" Newsboys video! They've come a long way, but they're still using their God-given talents!! Please post more!

[newsboysrok]

Thanks for posting this! I've seen pics but I never got to see the whole video! Do you have anymore from the Boyz Will Be Boyz video?

Gotta love 1990.

[eden512]

Yes newsboysrok. I do have more coming. also good footage from a "real videos" appearance around the same time. I will post more likely in February/March as time permits. Thanks for stopping by. I like to read comments on ccm videos on youtube. :-)

[emeraldlily]

no wonder he shaves his head!! I like him better bald anyway :)

[cherifchel]

Yeah, the reason he started shaving his head was because he started bald so young.

[luckystar007]

Yeah, Peter has what is known as premature baldness. Poor guy, you can see pics where he's like 23 and his hairline is starting to recede. Not a bad thing though, otherwise he probably would've NEVER gotten rid of that 'do lol

[luckystar007]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh man you gotta love early Newsboys. Not because of the music, but because you can laugh at the bad clothes, Peter's scary hair and John's mullet =P
