can't believe this guy's only in his early 50s. when i was a teenager watching him on MTV, i thought he he was in his late 30s at least--not early 20s. not a huge ABC fan but they've got some catchy songs. those 80s production sounds (thin drum machine, synthesizers, washed out backing vocals, etc) really ruined lots of otherwise decent songs, imho
How I am missing the good day of 80's nothing compare to the criativity and originality from that days lady gaga is far away of being band like ABC or Duran duran
Er, great hair and great fashion. A damn sight better than My Chemical whatsits or that true gangsta Justin Bieber. Gaga does it OK, apologies to Grace Jones.
Bad Hair ? who`s this major limey lame ? In the 80s people had original hairstyles and clothes , newer than before. Today people dont have personality , we all look like a global Homer Simpson
Talk about growing old gracefully - Martin looks great now! Thanks for posting the interview. If it wasn't for Youtube, fans around the world would never get to see this.
Bought an ABC "Best of" CD and listened to it before I returned to the computer.
Searching for "ABC, Martin Fry" I came across this interview.
Thanks for uploading & reminding me of my youth. The 80s were a great decade (as so many) and ABC provided the soundtrack for it - excellent songs, production and Fry was a great frontman ; D
Mates' older, but still lookin' hot! And like Simon Lebon of Duran Duran, Marty's still makes a presence in company! A jewel from a fantastic time when looking and being sophisticated was it! "Suave" was the word!
Mark Lickley was the bass player in abc's early days...i was a child then but when i heard posion arrow something inside me snapped...here i am 35 years old now and im still playing bass...abc's music always made me feel spoiled and rich some how..i live in the states and i grew up in the south and they were not big down there..i recall cutting grass for 2 months to buy the lexicon of love..seems so long ago now..id love to make freinds with fellow fans..
martins comming to dublin on the 26th oct o8 cant wait! hes being joined by human league, heaven 17 and imma what a feast of the eighties roll on 26th!!!!!!!!

Fern Britton says Andy Warhol died from being shot!!!
Yes he was shot but most people know that isnt what killed him and as a journalist she should be aware of that.......slip up!

The CD is good, of course.
Good mix of known and not so well-known stuff.
Nowadays you can't tell what's played on the radio, left alone listen to it ; o
