Great to hear the great man. For me T.Rex peak was the Electric Warrior album. Always remember the pics of Micky and Marc looking very much alike and spinning around on the vinyl label. Great great album.
brilliant interview just how i remember him. im sure he would be proud his name lives on in a lot of ppls hearts. very proud. neva forgotten uncle mick!
you see that red bandana/scarf hes wearing my mum has that in a box along with pictures of her and mickey from when she dated him for 4 years when he was living in london in a house with his mother my mum was going to go on a tour with a tribute band which included mickey and 2 other original band members this was in 1996-97 they went on tour to russia but my mum didnt go she had to look after me cos i was about 4 years old cant believe hes dead
@skunksmoker14 what a great story. I hope he wasn't lonely before he died. At least he has great memories. I'm so sorry your mum didn't take you and go with him. That's ok, she has her lifetime memories being with him.
Okay, I would cast Charlie Sheen as Micky Finn; he must lose about 50 pounds first. Then I would cast Sigourney Weaver as Marc Bolan after some testosterone treatments.
I can throw some light on this. It wasn't Jools who interviewed him - it was me. I had pestered the researchers on the programme for ages to let me do a special on Marc. When Ringo agreed to take part they finally agreed. I'm very proud of the fact that it was the first major Bolan tribute since his death 6 years earlier. I tell the complete story of the Ringo interview, Visconti, Peel and dear Mickey on my website. I have a VHS copy of it but that's all sadly. Gary James - Tube co-presenter
Bless you Gary...you've answered a lot of questions we all have had about dear Mickey! I must say: Mickey you were so very beautiful...and you are still loved!
He sounds like Charlie Sheen!

Mickey was totally underrated as a clay drum player in early days. On top of that his congas were essential to the electric sound too.

What a shame ... His breathing was so bad, almost sounds like he struggles to take breath in

Mickey looks and sounds great here. Really aware. Sadly there is another interview with him on YouTube here:

Where he is just SO wrecked on drugs, that it hurts to look at him. Glad to see he cleaned up. R.I.P.

Does anyone know where to find Mickey Finn being interviewed by Jools Holland on 'The Tube'? From 1982/83.
