Brydon & Jools Holland: “It was very edgy”

[@LususSaule]

As a not especially chatty person I've always been fascinated by people like Jools. He could talk for his country. Rob could have popped out of the studio, gone to the bathroom, got a coffee and Jools would still be chatting away when he got back ☺

[@IrnBruNYC]

Rob, I love these interviews. I love how you don't overstay your welcome with these KZbin videos. I always come away laughing and having learned something.

[@judgedread-q4t]

Rob you've done it again. Jools is such a nice chap and Walking to New Orleans is a must-see.

[@richardnewell8478]

@14:04 "Thelonious Monk". I wonder if he went by Lonious Monk or The Lonious Monk

[@davidlean1060]

A critic at the time dubbed him Malodious Thunk! Safe to say, the critic wasn't a fan.

[@richardcolver8136]

Excellent episode!

[@terencegamble4548]

Rob, one of your best. Thank you.

I was on holiday in greece in a tiny village in the 70's . Tourism had just arrived and there was a mix of young cool people like myself and families. Since it was so small everybody soon knew everybody else and the atmosphere was really good. Then Glenn Tillbrook of Squeeze turned up and he was an impressively nice man, got the guitar out occasionally and fitted in welll with the rest. I always wondered about his relationship with jools and was very pleased to hear that its very good. Nice to heat about the model railways as well.

[@TheLambLive]

Rob is correct, the popular band is called 'Eagles' because there was already another American R&B band called 'The Eagles' who enjoyed a small amount of success in the 50s.

[@gerrycrossman2328]

Yes I found this out about 2 years ago, because I was researching the Early Elvis Presley songs and found out that a tune called “ Trying to get to you “ and you can hear similarities in both versions, yes even Elvis copied vocal styles . A must listen.

[@gerrycrossman2328]

Listen to The Eagles and Elvis versions,

Fantastically interesting interview. Jools is so talented, his live shows with his brilliant orchestra are always amazing , as are his special guests. Wish he would make his song The Quiet Man available. Heard it live and it was superb. So sad I can’t hear it again,

Just googled, and you are right. Eagles are just called Eagles

[@WhitbyStuff]

I looked on Wikipedia. Yup. Eagles.

[@yesdcotchin]

I find it surprising people don't know this even if they still add the "The"

[@d33j4ybf]

There's the story that Glenn Frey tells of explaining to Steve Martin the exclusion of 'the' and that Steve tells him that people are just gonna end up calling them 'The Eagles'...

[@pluribus_unum]

​​@@d33j4ybf- I remember when it was impossible to find the band _The The_ because the _the_ got dropped in the search query so that alphabetical order worked as expected because the "robots" didn't know to ignore the _the_ and ignored _The The_ -instead- [as an unintended result].

Jules did 'Jules Hollands Big Night Out' which was a cabaret show really, shot in the Astoria in London for B Sky B every Monday night for a few months in the late 80's. It was pretty good.

[@tfwiii]

Love Jools and was lucky enough to go to Later to see Primal Scream and others many years ago... But can't help but think of Adam and Joe's brilliant and affectionate impression of him every time I hear him speak 😁

First single released by the Police had "The Police" on the cover image.

Bit random but i put a picture up of my cat looking cool on a chat work site and literally half an hour ago someone replied cool for cats by squeeze 😺 great interview and loved the tube back in the 80s.

I’m a 72yo Australian. The Bee Gees were always The Bee Gees. Even on Brian Henderson’s Bandstand ( Channel9, 5 00pm, Saturday) when Barry was 14 and the other two were 12. Brian went on to read the news in Sydney for about 50 years.

[@palebluedot747]

Squeeze had to be renamed in US, Canada and Australia and records launched under an amended name of UK Squeeze because there had already been a previous Ozzy and US bands named Squeeze or similar. Correct me if I'm wrong, no issues with that. Brilliant band. Brilliant man in Jools Holland. Great choice for this series. Talented, artistic and intelligent.

[@curtin777]

That was interesting,thank you.

[@Benyboy2727]

Very organised hair today Rob.

[@pixelfrenzy]

7" of Cool For Cats was the second proper record I ever bought (1979 - incredible year for music!). I only recently learned that Paul Carrick did vocals (and keys I presume) on 'Tempted', one of Squeeze's best although I've seen Tilbrook do a very decent job of the vocals as well.

[@michaeldaley5831]

I remember going to the Nashville rooms,in Fulham,west London,& saw Squeeze supporting the police,Roxanne had just been released,was,21 at the time,good days.

[@trevorclarey3336]

It is Eagles .

[@mustafabeer1791]

The Jools Holland 😆

[@mumfnah]

Looking on Discogs, seems most the records put out is simple "Eagles". But there are records like the 1980 "Spotlight Special Presents The Eagles" which has 'The' prefix. Amd 1976 release on 'Asylum Records - W 53051', it's "The Eagles - Hotel California" actually written on the record sleeve. Similarly with the 1973 record of 'Lynn Anderson / The Eagles* - What's It All About'. On the record label it reads "The Eagles". So can see where confusion can come, Jools may well be recalling in his minds eye one of those labels/sleeves, ao correct also. I had no idea, just found it interesting so checked some images out of records on Discogs and thoguht would add comment

[@annala2956]

It is "The Police" and "Eagles"

[@pixelfrenzy]

Buzzcocks.

[@StephenODonnellx]

Thelonius Monk was often referred to by his wife as Melonius Thunk.

[@TheDavidfallon]

To Bee Gee or not to be, The Bee Gees. This is mixed. Their first album was sans the "The," in the UK and for some US pressings, and yet for the same album in Japan and other markets, the "The" was prominent on the cover and in promotional material. The Bee Gees - Sing & Play 14 Bee Gees Classics (2018) features the "The."

[@TheRagzzz]

And yet doesn't appear after the 14...

[@DevaneDevane]

Carpenters is one. Bangles is another one though later albums have The Bangles.

[@edgeyt1]

From Wikipedia - "Steve Martin a friend of the band from their early days at The Troubadour, recounts in his autobiography that he suggested that they should be referred to as "the Eagles", but Frey insists that the group's name is simply "Eagles".'

[@bletheringfool]

Bee Gee are also Barry Gibb's initials.

[@Radagast-]

Same thing with the Pistols, who are almost universally referred to as "*The* Sex Pistols". Probably because of "Never Mind the Bollox...".

[@Cchogan]

The Bee Gees were originally Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees. Then the 2nd was "The Bee Gees." But the first best of was "Best of Bee Gees," so make your own minds up. Eagles first album is "Eagles." The second is "Eagles Desperado." I will now call Rob, "The Brydon."

Am I write in thinking that initially Cream were known as The Cream & latet dropped the definite article . I think that they were the first band to do so .

They only dropped the definitive in hot weather so as not to spoil!?!

There's a recent interview with Matt Johnson on the Guardian website and throughout the writer (or subeditor) refers to his band as "the The". I'd never seen or noticed the lower case/upper case thing before and began to doubt myself but it's The The on Wikipedia and discogs.
