Dave Wakeling in-studio on Jonesy's Jukebox 6/27/18

[@tinjos8306]

His voice is still fantastic.

[@outtathyme5679]

When Dave sings all the years melt away

[@dsparker6706]

I met Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger in the Rum Runner in Birmingham England in 1982 amazing memories of that night.

[@wilsondukeoflizards]

I'm barely even familiar with this guest or his band, but this is one of the best Jonesy clips I've come across so far! Love this guy.

[@peterjonas4971]

ONE of the nicest celebrities I've ever met. A genuinely polite and gracious guy. Love you Dave! And good on you for politely but seriously mocking the royals.

[@keef71]

another jonesy's jukebox classic. two spiky young herberts from back in the day, now two old farts shooting the shit together - brilliant. love the fact dave still has his accent and that as a lefty guitarist he plays with the strings upsidey-down

[@JfK--OBJECTivE]

Great version of "Save It For Later", impressive improvisation by Mr Steve Jones!

[@robertcaffrey6097]

Fair play to Dave, a smart down to earth bloke and an somewhat under rated gifted songwriter. Great to hear his voice is still sounding beautiful. And to see he is still playing a right handed strung guitar upside down. That unorthodox style worked very With Andy Cox's right handed playing creating an unusual and distinctive sound on The Beats earlier recordings. It's crazy to see Jonesy finger picking and posturing like a black Jazz bassist with a big fat lip. Fantastic. Warm regards from Ireland.

[@martymartin2894]

I'm just curious as to how does someone learn to play guitar like that. I'm a lefty and always wanted to learn guitar but it put me off cause I'm thinking I will need to get guitar restrung and who does lefty lessons and I can't look at normal learning vids on KZbin without getting guitar restrung.

[@strictlynorton]

Best YT JJ clip by far. Dave is so quick witted he gave Steve almost too much material to run with. Bring him back Jonesy!

[@WareBare]

Awesome

[@Honestly__now]

who would have thought Jonesy has become the Bob Ross of music with a soft voice and welcome to all comers. Thats one impressive dude. Epic guitarist and tactful an open minded as hell

[@themaddaddy9515]

cracking version of save it for later..

[@Js2557ty]

He has a beautiful voice. I saw him live in 2016 and he was really good

[@repromark]

Dave is a great interview. He always seems genuinely happy to be where ever he is. Love that guy.

[@danjay6783]

Dave Ws speaking voice is immediately recognizable to his singing voice. It's naturally deep, not just a singing stunt.

[@Rose-qd2bl]

Joney's great. He grew up in dire poverty. Still in love with Dave Wakeling's voice. Rest in peace Ranking Roger.

[@candydormizzi2500]

Got to meet Dave a really great guy .

[@davemunch999]

I was born in the same maternity hosp as Dave - my b'day is 22nd so 3 days apart. Went to school together (primary) too. I bet he doesn't remember me !

[@deedonnerramone4757]

13:41 - Hawkwind! I saw Hawkwind in 1974 on Halloween in Detroit. Holy Shit, want to talk about a weird show. The dancing lady was on stage and Lemmy was on bass. It was surreal kids. Very strange. UFO was the warm up band. Them I liked,

[@breadbaker1748]

What a cool guy!

[@DaveyRamone9th]

This just a great interview

[@mikecaldwell4442]

might be my fave episode...dave wakeling...great stuff lad

[@ddirishcanada]

I want one of Jonesy’s t- shirts. About the same size as well...lol

[@youjoker9647]

Yes, the size thing is often quite annoying! 😊

[@gallopingglen1]

[@199gonzo]

[@Leo-gu5ml]

Dois herois, Dave e Steve vão para o céu. 1 abraço, Brasil na área

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Great interview Steve.

[@themaddaddy9515]

dave wakeling is a very talented guy.

[@themaddaddy9515]

seen him in scotland 2018 brilliant...

[@jonathansteadman7935]

When you're young ... Angry young man ! When you're old... Grumpy old man.

[@garyrigby21]

Dave, there was a band called Standing Waves in the early 80's

[@roger1965100]

Jonesey is the ultimate guitarist.....He looks completely lost when Dave gets him to go for the solo, but just listen to what he pulls out of the hat....Fantastic. He plays with more heart and feel than literally anyone else I know.

[@jessicaamber6623]

roger1965100 Agreed! Something so perfect about his style.

[@roger1965100]

Do you play Glenn?

[@FungusMossGnosis]

Glenn puts me in mind of something Oscar Wilde said: " Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember, from time to time, that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught." All the practicing and perfecting of technique on guitar will never give you a personal style, sensitivity, feeling for the form. Those only come naturally, or by the grace of what ever. Steve has is. And I'd wager any amount that Glenn doesn't have it. Hence the spiteful words against Jonesy.

[@kaptinshazbat7535]

@Glenn Kirste you need to practise more mate....keep at it you might get there !😀

[@sspbrazil]

Dave is great!

[@mastersupreme6126]

David Wakeling (born 19 February 1956 in Birmingham, England) is an English ska musician, known for his work with the band the Beat (known in North America as the English Beat), and General Public. Career I Just Can't Stop It, the first album by the Beat, included the singles "Mirror in the Bathroom", "Hands Off She's Mine" and "Can't Get Used to Losing You", which all entered the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart. They also had UK hits from the albums Wha'ppen? and Special Beat Service. Wakeling then formed General Public with Ranking Roger in 1984, and they released their debut album All the Rage. He recorded two other albums with General Public, Hand To Mouth (1986) and Rub It Better (1995), shortly after which the act disbanded. He then produced the soundtrack for the John Hughes film She's Having a Baby (1988), in which he also recorded the title track. Wakeling released No Warning, a solo album, on I.R.S. Records in 1991 and has lived in California for a number of years. He regularly performs as the English Beat in North America[1], and has recorded two new songs that feature in the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "Dance of the Undead" which debuted in March 2013."Personal life Wakeling is divorced, with two children, Max and Chloe. He resides in the San Fernando Valley. In 1985, Wakeling announced in a press interview with Mother Jones magazine that he was bisexual.In a July 2012, Wakeling expressed concern over the United States' economic problems: "I have a nose tuned to the smell of the death of an empire, and I smell it now."[4] Discography[edit] No Warning (1991 I.R.S. Records) I Want More No Warning Remember in the Dark Every Time You Look at Me That Way Sensation Freedom Fighter One + One + One Sex with You I'm Not Ready She's Having a Baby

[@youjoker9647]

Hawkwind are so underrated. Bob Calvert era lyrics are amazing and their gigs were amazing in the 70s and early 80's.

[@nicensleazy1892]

Dave is a top guy !

[@theselector4733]

At 02:34 I thought he said: "Cos u can't get the 'waste' out so quick"...... had to rewind a few times to listen again LOL.

[@ismailrawat3940]

Steve Jones. I saw u make a comment about turbans in London clip I hated you for it but I've changed my mind about you I like your radio show

[@andzwe]

You probably have to be a true musician to remember and imitate the castanets, while singing Roxy Music's Dance Away: 18:49 After that a great, well-thought-out definition of how he imagined what The (English) Beat should be like.

[@youjoker9647]

I'm not a musician. They were not even real castanets just electronic ones. I also think he was taking the piss. Our US friends still have problems grasping our humour..

[@duffbaker9554]

@14:14 (wait for it, wait for, wait for it)..... BUUUURP.

[@keith-leecastle6700]

The best interviews are Steve Jones’’ ...He is self deprecating and lovely....

[@generalpatzer6893]

In the episode with Paul Cook they talk about buying speed from Lemmy in the 1970's...lol

[@keithschofield1158]

Steve always says they had 1 album what about the great rock and roll swindle I love that album

[@jamesgretsch4894]

The guitar on this is in the tuning of DADGAD. I think, something like that. Is Jonsey's guitar really in that tuning?

[@ec1628]

DADAAD. Did it by accident. Look up Dave Wakeling Pete Townsend on KZbin.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Stood next to Dave while in the bar at his gig in Brighton

[@lioii]

Dave Wakeling has the same birthday as me...!

[@chrissiecasson700]

Who's he?

[@simonjamesyoung8091]

Funny when Dave makes Jonesy laugh

[@bezzarguy]

"..you're 17 till you look in the mirror..." Ain't that the truth.

[@jessicaamber6623]

I want Steve's shirt!

[@philipm06]

This is fucking brillaint.

[@tednruth453]

DADAAD

[@sharonduffey]

Dave is left handed?

[@johnunderwood3132]

So he doesn’t switch his strings.. just sayin cause I’m a lefty

[@leroybrown7870]

Man this dude gets it about the cesspool Britainistan.Too bad others don't.

[@peterigan1897]

lemmys/motorhead version of God save the queen is the best pistols cover..Irish Harry Kane 2 Belgium 1 my prediction!

[@jamesmiller6125]

Did KLOS ever really play Roxy Music, Sparks, deep cuts of T.Rex, Thin Lizzy, Queen?...Cheers Steve!.... Remember your old tech Clint, Dave? 😬

[@gazriley624]

couldn't remember who he was at first, i like The Beat though

[@edrepard]

"the 11 bus"

[@davemunch999]

The 11 bus was the outer circle in Brum !

[@padraigsisk4057]

No more young people. What a comment.

[@ismailrawat3940]

Dave wakeling bhuddist massacre rohyngas

[@williamr3840]

[@marksimons4108]
