Justin Hayward, I always add you and your family along with John Lodge, Graeme Edge and the rest of The Moody Blues in my prayers everyday. To keep all of you protected and healthy and to keep you around for as long as possible, The Moody Blues means soo much to me, I have been following you for 3 1/2 decades and your still my favorite band, and I don't wan't to lose you now. My only last wish it to meet you one day just even once, along with John Lodge, and Graeme Edge. Your Wildest Fan J.M
"it s no point trying to make Justin Hayward leap about on stage...when Justin gets worked up he taps his foot" - Graeme Edge to a journalist in 1973. cute. a class act for over 45 years.
These guys launced what would be a very successful musical career for me..I'm 42 now..But I can remember hearing this "Bass Riff" by John when I was a kid..I had to know what was making that cool sound in mom & dads' car back in 74-75...
When I learned it was a Bass guitar..The rest has been history..
I just saw them live last night in Victoria BC - they were fantastic and the crowd loved every minute. Question was my favourite. Oct 6, 2011 - LOVE YOU GUYS!!
@iandaykin They are extraordinary! We also just saw them live at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine on September 13/2011. This song is fantastic! It was the first time I ever saw them live and I would love to see them again!
Justin had two songs both in the Key of C that he could not complete. One was an anti Viet Nam War song and the other was a tender love song. He put them together...hence "Question" was born.
It still amazes me that the Moody Blues can play venues such as this one, yet they'll still play in small, obscure locations as well. I saw them play here in May, 2011 in a casino about 25 miles west of town surrounded by nothing but pastureland. They sounded absolutely fantastic. One of Justin's strings came unspooled toward the end, but he pulled out a bunch of slack to get it out of the way and carried on. Hope they come back this way soon!
They've always be nvery philosophical and toughtfull in their lyrics, always in search of..Real men are walking to expect. No spies who invent what is not on other walkers back...for secret reasons...with the result the power to walk is out of my body gone.
Thank you, Moody Blues! You were HOT when I saw you as a hippie and you are just as HOT or hotter NOW. I have a story too and IF you are still hoping for someone to change your life I bow to you. HERE. In front of ALL. NOW. Namaste.
PS: I escaped out of a CULT that I'd been In for 30 y e a r s (Scientology--don't ever join it, to anyone reading this) and they chased me (true story) across the country and the Tampa Police and 3 friends got me OUT. Music helped me wake up--and the Moody Blues have changed my life, forever, more than once. Thank you ALL.
If you dont like what I write then go to hell. I can write what I want,.
Husky Maxx Your a fool. So dont tell people thay cant write what they and sooo many other people believe. Some just arnt strong enough to post it. So as you say, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Your as brainless as you must look.
I've seen this group 3 times all in Peoria Illinois. One time with the Peoria Symphony orchestra. They were great every time. and I would go see them again if they ever came back. If they aren't in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame something sucks in Cleveland
Yes God made you through your parents. Havent you read the bible. If you believe you came from a result of lillions of years ago, ( a result of what) you dont even have any solid thing to go by. Im sure you havent read the book of truth. Thats the bible. If you did, You would see how everything that it states has happened, is happening and will happen, and where you cam from, they you would come to the conclusion, that your made from God throught your parents. Try it.
@calivita77 Stop the stupid bible talk please. MOST of us don't want to hear it. It's nonsense made up by people who rode camels to explain what the human brain can't comprehend. THAT is how MANY of us feel, so shut up and do your bible study sessions with those who believe you.
You can make the human brain believe ANYTHING with careful and cunning writing, and get your brain to the point where it thinks it is hearing voices (or Jesus).
So please, think what you want, but keep it to yourself.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
speaks to me. A reminder to "question" intentions. "For" me of course. But what do I really want? And by what means? Maybe I've been knocking on a door which I imagined and doesn't actually exist. Maybe.
Shame on me for not getting into the Moody Blues until my 40's. I am 45 now and have no idea why I turned away from them. Stupid me. I've been missing out and so, so much masterpieces of music. In any event, I've been enjoying thier music for the last 5 years and am highly anticipating and hoping for a tour here in Texas. "Question" is my right behind my favorite which is "The Voice" . Thanks for the post. Sheer ignorance as to why these geniuses are not in the RRHOF. It's an outrage!
Are the Moody Blues anything less because they're not in the Hall of Fame? <----- @PiratesReport - Maybe it's a GOOD thing that they're not? They transcend any sort of classification. They are truly one of the best bands to ever grace this planet. Besides, isn't Cleveland a rather trailer-trash sort of city in which to put these guys? :) The should be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom and be knighted by the queen and only play in classy venues such as this.
I saw these cats at the San Diego Sports Arena in summer 1972, and it was the most righteous straight-ahead road band that brought the total package of the Moody Blues recordings to "us", the thousands of sun-dried hippie-era san Diegans. (Oh, yeah, some person began passing around a certain hand-rolled cigarette, that seemed to have been soaked in hash-oil,and I have reason to suspect that some of us smokers of the cannabis with enhancement, had a special outlook to go along with the show.
If I could pick a fav moody song, this would be it!!!! One of their very best of all times in my honest opinion. This song is what hooked me on their music!!!!!
@cloudjia RAY IS VERY SICK AND IS WAITING FOR A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT ooops sorry about caps and he is an unbelievable talent that was never given the credit he should have gotten
This band touched mine & so many lives, young and old around the world through out their musical journey. The words to all the song they performed had more depth than any other bands I've ever heard.
Question was written as a Vietnam War protest song. The music came first, then the idea for the words. I just came back from Vietnam when I first heard the song and knew what he was singing about before I heard his explanation. To me, the intro alone, with the 12 string guitar in open G tuning, is an all time R&R classic that surpasses what most HOF bands have EVER played.
@joep3300 i heard it in nam as well and i think the fact they aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame is a disgrace and i bet you and i are amongst the very few who understood this was an anti war song thanks
@7sabot 7 sabot thank you kindly i just wondered you must have served to use the name sabot, which is a purely weaponry term did you know its origination??? in the netherlands sabot (pronounce saybo) was they word for wooden clogs which anti nazis workers would throw into the gears of forced labor factories into tank treads to knock the gears out of whack or put usally half tracks off the wheels .hence the term sabotage my services was all i wanted to do ooohrah semper fi
@TheMrtimmy28 I served in the US Army as a tank gunner ,served in Iraq for 3 years. You're welcome . A "Sabot" is one of several rounds or munitions that the M1 Abrams utilizes. I beleive the word is French for "Shoe"
However I feel Viet Nam Veterans, Korean War Vets & WW2 Vets deserve more respect than any of us.
@7sabot every soldier deserves respect- i know what a sabot is- i was just pointing out the origination of the term in warfare and it might have been french word buy was used in belgium to screw up the works, hence as i said SABOTage . when i came back from viet nam i was the only time soldiers came home to hatred. but i just let it roll off my back. fucking loser asshole hippies so i hope you're doing well and found work and OOOOHHRAH SEMPER FI
Compare some of the artists (?) who are in the hall & it becomes obvious that it's about personal likes & dislikes. I have been a fan for 40 years and still can't enough. But I miss Ray Thomas.
Great song! I'm going to their concert in April and I just bought their new calendar! Any fans should check it out at their website called moodybluestoday!
Love this group, 21 years old and i grew up with their music, they are genius'. Better than most music out today! Seen them live about 4/5 times and they havent lost their talent. Keep going MB!
i found somebody who changed my life,, yes i've found the pearl of great price.... if you are still searchin' YAHUWSHUWA ha mashiach is the answer.....love this song
Actually,it should really be called Music Hall of Fame,as all genres have their place.I am not a fan of punk,rap,new country and pop from the last decade.That being said,if popularity,sales,technical ability and live performances dictate an individual or groups "greatness",then they should be members,whatever their style of music.BTW-rock is a derivative of blues,country and even gospel.Like America itself,it SHOULD be all inclusive...
@PiratesReport HEY NOW.....Cleveland was once a GREAT city,destroyed now by political corruption,like Detroit and a lot of other places. It's not Cleveland's fault that the 'Cock Hall' is such a lame,Mickey Mouse outfit...is it???
..The Driver of A Dream and The Hall of Fame?....what would be the question and the possible answer!...that it suffers us and the Lord above to Want. a woman from his one and only planet earth?..'it would be impossible!..but to Save Everyone!..and "All Women!"...way cool! 'The Moody Blues!
@1nobogey there are a lot of great "ROCK" bands that have been ignored by the rrhof. they should be ashamed to even have that name. Some of the best bands have never been mentioned or brought up for voting, and i believe that some that have been voted in should not be in there. it is ROCK not rap or pop or country... IT'S ROCK!!!! sorry my soap box..
They should have been one of the original members of the rock and roll hall of fame. Instead they haven't even been nominated. Where is the logic in that?
Great post! Moodys.....Royal Albert Hall ! It doesn't get much better that this! They toured the US last summer & I saw them at an open air venue called Ravinia in the Chicago suburbs. I ponied up the extra money to sit it the pavilion. I'd seen approx 30 other rock groups in concert (Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Animals, Yardbirds, Clapton, Doobie Bros) , but none gave a better performance than these chaps. But them on your 'Bucket List'. Thnx, again!
I love this performance! One of my favorite Moody Blues songs of all time! I just love it!
Have watched this many times and posted it on my fan page for Justin and The Moody Blues, but this is the first time in a really long time I have told you how wonderful it is to see this! I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so very much! This video soooooooo rocks!!!!!
Our Moodies should be in the R&R Hall Of Fame!!!!!!!!
But they are in my personal Hall Of Fame and forever will be!!!!!
@pbabbat No condescension intended but a 12 string is no different or more difficult to play than a 6 string. Strings are paired in 2's very close together, tuned to the same note (or an octave above) and pairs are played by one finger as if it were single. Big sound, a little rough on the hands but nothing else really gives you that jangle quite like a twelve string. Great band, I agree.
Saw them in the 70's when I was studying Chem Eng in UK. I still like the music. It is hyper-nostalgic. It does bring tears. “And when you stop and think about it
you won’t believe it’s true
that all the love you’ve been giving has all been meant for you."

I know we lost all the persons that were dear to us, many friends, they must all despite us now but me, I am still there, you didn't lose me and you never will ;-; I know we can make it if we really want to, together, we'll find the solution to our lives, it's our love that will keep us in life ♥
"Between the silence of the mountains and the crashing of the sea, there lies a land I once lived in and she's waiting there for me..." There is no substitute for The Moodies!
Many of those "systhemised people" would DO GOOD asking themselves the QUESTION : Am I really helping this perso nwhit my kind of answers ,my kind of way-of-working etc! The times that musicians sing about "a better world to come" is really over.
wow, Moody Blues still ROCK. This video is only a few years old too. Awesome!

Caught then in 1991 with Chicago. The fact that both of these awesome bands are not in the Rock Hall makes the Rock Hall a joke.

Compare some of the artists (?) who are in the hall & it becomes obvious that it's about personal likes & dislikes. I have been a fan for 40 years and still can't enough. But I miss Ray Thomas.

Actually,it should really be called Music Hall of Fame,as all genres have their place.I am not a fan of punk,rap,new country and pop from the last decade.That being said,if popularity,sales,technical ability and live performances dictate an individual or groups "greatness",then they should be members,whatever their style of music.BTW-rock is a derivative of blues,country and even gospel.Like America itself,it SHOULD be all inclusive...

Are the Moody Blues anything less because they're not in the Hall of Fame?
I mean, the place is in Cleveland, for godsakes.

@PiratesReport HEY NOW.....Cleveland was once a GREAT city,destroyed now by political corruption,like Detroit and a lot of other places. It's not Cleveland's fault that the 'Cock Hall' is such a lame,Mickey Mouse outfit...is it???

1nobogey 1 year ago
@1nobogey there are a lot of great "ROCK" bands that have been ignored by the rrhof. they should be ashamed to even have that name. Some of the best bands have never been mentioned or brought up for voting, and i believe that some that have been voted in should not be in there. it is ROCK not rap or pop or country... IT'S ROCK!!!! sorry my soap box..

They should have been one of the original members of the rock and roll hall of fame. Instead they haven't even been nominated. Where is the logic in that?

Great post! Moodys.....Royal Albert Hall ! It doesn't get much better that this! They toured the US last summer & I saw them at an open air venue called Ravinia in the Chicago suburbs. I ponied up the extra money to sit it the pavilion. I'd seen approx 30 other rock groups in concert (Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Animals, Yardbirds, Clapton, Doobie Bros) , but none gave a better performance than these chaps. But them on your 'Bucket List'. Thnx, again!

@pbabbat No condescension intended but a 12 string is no different or more difficult to play than a 6 string. Strings are paired in 2's very close together, tuned to the same note (or an octave above) and pairs are played by one finger as if it were single. Big sound, a little rough on the hands but nothing else really gives you that jangle quite like a twelve string. Great band, I agree.

Saw them in the 70's when I was studying Chem Eng in UK. I still like the music. It is hyper-nostalgic. It does bring tears. “And when you stop and think about it
you won’t believe it’s true
that all the love you’ve been giving has all been meant for you."

I know we lost all the persons that were dear to us, many friends, they must all despite us now but me, I am still there, you didn't lose me and you never will ;-; I know we can make it if we really want to, together, we'll find the solution to our lives, it's our love that will keep us in life ♥
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the wall of love is for.

When I started doing drugs at 18 in 1968 The Moodys pulled me through it.
When was down in my life, the Moodys pulled me through it
And now I am 60. And the Moody blues still pull me to the music that brought me to this age
