Dave Faulkner | Long Play Series

[@briansewart5885]

I took the night off work years ago to see the Hoodu Gurus at Heaven in Adelaide - even though I was told I couldn't get the night off. Got found out, but no consequences. worth it! Great show. They sounded really, really good. Songs are timeless, still love them.

[@andrewmcloughlin8869]

What a captivating interview of such an articulate and intelligent legend of Australian music!

[@RobertBrooks-js7nt]

Love this deep dive with Dave. Saw them at Thirsty's in Mobile Alabama on their first US Tour and that was it! Favorite band all time. So many great shows through the years. Can't wait to see them again. Thanks for sharing!

[@frankanderson2127]

So good to watch and listen to Dave Faulkner talk about his career. The Hoodoo Gurus never disappoint Live or recorded.

[@cdbeen123]

Definately one of my favourite bands and sooo good live at a festival in 90's ❣

[@quantum_man]

Love this guy and his music. Dave is a pioneer and legend of the Australian music scene and the Hoodoo Gurus have helped shape this country's soundtrack. 'What's My Scene' and 'Bittersweet' & 'Miss Free love' phenomenal songs and Music Television Mainstays. Great questions by Jane too. Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview with us all!

Instantly takes me back to the 80s with the whole HG vibe, with the cavalcade of songs you could really tap your feet to. Also had that really good classic guitar sound and a great live act. Must admit I have been overseas for more than 30 years, but as a kid growing up, we really were spoilt for choice with bands like the HG, the Oils, Rose Tattoo, the Johnnies, and the rest, who could turn it on live every week down the pub. Thanks Dave!!!

Great interview, Great musician, vocalist and songwriter! So many many great songs keep them coming Dave 👏👏👏

[@mainoffenders4662]

Great interview with a great UNDERRATED songwriter / musician! It's so good to watch an interviewer who's done the homework and asks intelligent questions.

[@mickmarton4921]

Great interview. Thanks Dave.

[@stephenfox4278]

Legend band and a Cronulla sharks supporter...😊..

[@mattbarbarich3295]

Bizarre, he's from Belmont WA originally , should be a Perth Demons supporter WAFL and West Coast Eagles AFL.

[@RobertSuttonOfAnacortes]

Start of US Mars tour, 1985, a dark club in Berkeley California, long set, encore jam with Flamin' Groovie Cyril Jordan. Total blast. Been a Gurus fan ever since.

[@jonantonacci9323]

Loudest band I’ve ever heard live. So many great songs.

[@mattbarbarich3295]

You've never obviously been to a Rose Tattoo concert!

[@judysimpson3774]

When I think of the Hoodoo's, I remember great Aussie hits, (and seeing them perform whilst enjoying $1 beers at Uni Lol!!). 👍

[@looseunit9180]

Hoodoos have some of the best songs ever written

[@darrynaustin6379]

You are my sword , your love is it's own reward

[@misdamagoo213]

A fascinating watch. Left with the feeling there is a LOT more to find out about Dave the man ....... particularly on a personal note. That aside, great to relive the enjoyment he has given me since seeing their first ever gigs in Melbourne in the early 80s. Thx.

[@adamcollins6882]

Legend. Gonna buy the new Guru's album tomorrow.😀

[@johnlacey155]

What's My Scene!!

[@Hungry_Hunter]

Right on Dave you rock.

[@67Star65]

🤟🦘🎸 ... legendary artist, a huge part of my 80s, 'Mars (still) Needs Guitars'.🚀😉👍

[@jasonwooler801]

I have yet to catch the Guru's live. Them and the Tatt's. How has not happened to me yet?

[@charliefox9573]

Touring later this year!

[@debonaire_nerd]

A beautiful man who presents and represents without needing to do either. He's safe and comfortable in who he is without ever having to mention it. As a queer person, I find this especially inspiring.

[@blackie75]

I had a friend who roadied for them for a couple of gigs when has 17 or 18, he said Dave Faulkner was one of the rudest, arrogant pricks he ever met. I was really disappointed as I loved their music and still do,

[@paullewis6631]

That was awesome, but that chick has crazy eyes, like woah...

[@TedBear1954]

Good interview - perhaps with small breaks of excerpts of a couple of songs to enhance the discussion?

[@lindascarborough5551]

Dave is a beautiful being. Did anyone Notice Dave is wearing a Watch? Not common these days 💎💎💎💎💎

[@samaramarzola]

'Estimated time of arrival 9:30am' 🔥❤️

[@johnnimbus8761]

A great subject to interview. There were a couple of times Dave seemed to want to be more introspective but the interview moved on....a great part of the Australian music scene.

[@mainoffenders4662]

Really underrated songwriter!

[@anthony9600]

Baby Can Dance, Pt ll - lV

[@andrewmantle7674]

Great Interview. Mental As Anything? Apart from a few good songs, they’re not in the same league as Hoodoo Gurus.

[@jordymaas565]

is that so maestro.

[@andrewmantle7674]

@@jordymaas565 Yeah. In my opinion. Yours may differ. If it does keep enjoying them.

[@bealetm]

I wondered that too. I do like the Mentals but they don't have such an extensive catalogue of great songs when perhaps other bands do.

[@andrewmantle7674]

@@bealetm Yes. I agree. It’s not that I don’t like them. They had some great songs. I just don’t put them up there with The Easybeats.

[@michaelholt43]

Who is the interviewer

[@TedBear1954]

Jane Gazzo.

[@robertwynne6451]

She said she remembers the song “does your chewing gum lose its favour over night” i don’t believe her, she is too young.

[@paulrummery6905]

Dave's a bit special. Great bloke, great band.

[@BrentHiggins01]

Shame about the interviewer. Many nods, many smiles, much pretending. Great editing to show her more than the actual artist. Dave Rocks!!!!

[@gloryglory5688]

She’s one of the most experienced, knowledgeable music journalists in the country
