Jeff is a Music God but at the same time, he is so humble, kind and funny. Can't wait to see him on Tour again...

I love the song Evil Woman a lot. I've had a crush on Jeff Lynn forever.

[@doloresm7396]

Just you and the rest of the world. Those blue eyes and he hides them behind those sunglasses. Ugh! One of these days we're going to see his eyes again. Dark blue eyes.

I just realized that, after being an ELO/Jeff Lynne fan for over 40 years, I’d never heard his speaking voice. Seems like a fun guy!

[@jmack619]

Wow! Incredible guy. Would be a joy to work with!. Now, what about Telephone Line please!

[@classicrockfan8034]

The best overall Musician ever and a top 3 Producer. Jeff Lynne is incredible.

[@Yankee4ever2]

Absolutely world class

[@rennyp1861]

You’re not kidding!!!

[@janiceellery1653]

In addition to his musical talent from what I've read and seen of him on interviews, he's probably one of the nicest and most humble people in the classic rock industry. Yes personality does count 😄❤ If there was an award for the most congenial celebrities, I would give one to Jeff Lynne.

[@geoffreyrogers9755]

Brilliant bloke.very normal.Great brummie.

Wow what a beautiful man , artist , loved him and ELO for years and play them most days

[@doloresm7396]

What a great guy, easy going genius. How do you get those two traits in a lifetime? People change his words so he goes along with it. Imagine the rest of the Prima Donna's doing that! Not on your life, ever. This guy will forever rock. Thank you Great Britain for sharing your greats with us.

[@ggggghhyt1]

is there anywhere where I could listen to the full interview?

[@integral]

Speaking from experience here, the only way is to subscribe to Sirius. Given the backlog of interviews and music you'll find it's well worth the price.

[@MajahDancer]

Agree- I don't need to hear the idiot interviewer- just Jeff Lynne's story.

[@LijaMoore]

Love Jeff's talent and his great sense of humour! 😄

[@elypowell6797]

Hello British lady

[@fabfour7397]

Jeff Lynne's ELO is one of the very, very few bands sounding better live than on their records. They are this good. In the Summer of 2019, Forbes Magazine called Jeff Lynne's ELO "The Best Live Classic Rock Band In The World Still Touring". After seeing their shows in 2016, 2018 and 2019, I totally agree. This is amazing Jeff Lynne, Paul, Ringo and George Harrison became great friends and produced fantastic music together with also other Music Legends. Jeff Lynne's ELO will probably Tour with Dhany Harrison in 2022.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

JESS LYNNE???? REALLY??????

[@avan5140]

It’s OK Jeff, your fans have known all along that it’s grooooooooosssss, not Bruuuuuuuuuce. It might not make any sense but it sounds cool.

[@juliautsumi]

Love that man and his music.

[@fabfour7397]

Jeff is the very best ever if not one of the best and at the same time so humble and so funny.... SIRIUS XM MAKE THE CORRECTION IT'S NOT Jess Lynne

[@taratova]

What a great entertaining guy he is .....talking , singing and playing.. All around Great Guy.

[@rodneygarcia9621]

Out Of The Blue, I consider one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Beautiful music.

[@rennyp1861]

Here, here!!

[@rennyp1861]

Jeff is the greatest!! I especially like the clarification of “ Grooose”. I knew that was what it said, but my brother was unsure, so I was able to send him this clip. I also bought a tee shirt for him with grooose on the front. Wonder how many people catch on when he wears it in public. 😂😂

[@TONYSESLCAFE]

What a very cool real humble #1 musician.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Geoff Lynne is a straight talker. He doesn’t need to waffle & has a great musical radar. He gets the job done and appears to be having fun.

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

Does the world not know who this is? Seriously.. only 14 views after more than a month? I only just found this myself, maybe that the story...

[@cajunasian71]

KZbin sucks when it comes to notifications no matter if subscribed and "bell is clicked". I just got an "notification" about this video. There is also the possibility that most of the kiddies DO NOT know who this is as well. Not all of them know what GOOD MUSIC is. Sadly.

[@terised]

At the top it says published Dec 23. How can your comment be prior to then?

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

@@terised mine said something like September something...

[@andreo.7633]

Lmao legend Man I wish this guy would've asked about wtf was going in his head when he decided that a "ooh-ooh-hoo" in don't bring me down was necessary xD I love it

[@iblacka1]

Jeff is a total genius. How can you write a song in 6 mins.

[@krollpeter]

Once he said at around this time he could write an entire album in days.

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Exactly...

[@izzynutz2000]

[@cooldudicus7668]

Jeff Lynne needs his own channel on XM. It is that simple.

[@notanotherjamesmurphy5574]

I love Jeff Lynne

[@princenamor1939]

Evil Woman is one of the greatest songs ever, IMO.

[@bogotta]

I never even thought of double tracking a piano till I looked into Jeff Lynne. And yes, you have to detune slightly to get that feel.

[@christianheidenreich3673]

He's a nice a guy. Gruss, Bruce. 😅

[@wolfganghaarer6954]

Now I get it. Always wondered what they`re singing in DBMD, so it`s "Gruß", meaning "Greetings".

[@osvaldomeyer9316]

un grandeeeeeeeeeeeeee

😂 grooos...it means greetings in.. nevermind😂👍.

[@txsuz]

I just adore Jeff! What a sweet genius! I adore him for all the magic he has brought to my life!

[@justsomeguy6133]

For some reason, he remind me of a more coherent Ozzy in personality.

[@hadavisjr]

They’re both from Birmingham, and so that makes a bit of sense. 👍🏻

I would never have guessed that you were a fan, considering your username. ;)

[@robertkaplan3324]

There is a guy named Kelly Groucutt who was a big part of the ELO sound that was not talked about

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Exactly and THANK YOU for mentioning him, honestly I don't think he gets mentioned enough by people. I very much admire his bass playing and singing (both lead and backing vocals)...truly a talent in those "classic era" ELO years, very much missed RIP

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

Great and funny interview. Long live the music Genius Jeff Lynne!

[@flemingcourt]

Thank You Jeff for that one last N.A. tour. You and The Band were fabulous. Give a nod to the people that built the Spaceship backdrop! Fan-Bloody-Tastic!

[@lucyfoster4082]

This is not Jess Glynne, this is Jeff Lynne.

[@randy7719]

When I first clicked on this video on my computer, just for a brief second this guy from ELO looked a lot like Tony Iommi (Black Sabbaths lead guitarist). And the funny thing is his voice even sounds similar to Iommi's voice too. Also one of ELO's drummers (Bev Bevan) was the drummer for Black Sabbath on their 1983 "Born Again" tour

[@MeTube3]

As Jeff and Tony Iommi are both from Birmingham, England they speak with a similar West Midlands accent.

[@Norminal1]

Oh Jeff You Are A Magician 💫🎹🎸✨🎼🎶🎵💝

[@chrisearl4440]

Genius!

[@Robbiewa-bg4lu]

He has not lost his Birmingham(West Midlands/Warwickshire)accent

[@madcowusa4277]

Great interview, laughed so hard. Recently rediscovered Don't Bring Me Down and can now play most of it on acoustic. Great tune and apparently used on many shuffle dance videos.

[@Matt_Villines]

I got into rock music when I was 13. I had studied every conceivable piece of rock music history that appeared to me since then, and now I’m 30. And today is the day I’ve finally uncovered that Jeff Lynne is not American. And as deep into rock history as I’ve been for almost 20 years, I’m absolutely blown away to officially realize this. A lot of English musicians do a good job at sounding American; Jeff Lynne’s singing voice has convinced everybody_ that he is American for over 40 years now

[@Slarti]

He is a musical genius and I didn't know how funny he is .

[@petera.michaelsen4657]

He needs to go back on tour. The world misses Jeff Lynne!!!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Great stories. Jeff is a funny guy to boot!

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Sorry, I know everyone makes mistakes, but jeez for the interviewer or cue card girl or whomever to get the title wrong to "Don't BRING Me Down" is just embarrassing and inexcusable in my opinion. It just gives the impression that the person being interviewed is just another name on a list or something. Don't they fact-check these people first?!?

[@dwaiting883]

Damn. That was honest and awesome.

[@paulshepherd1348]

What a humble genius. Even when the host got the title of tye song wrong! He still wasn't offended. Akways will be my music hero... saw them 2016 in UK, 2018 and 2019 in Toronto... I do hope it wasn't the last.

[@JeffTomlinson-Consultant]

Mr Lynne, my name is Jeff, and I have an idea for creating a movie musical using your songs as dialog but based on the song Horace Wimp for the storyboard. It would be a great tribute to you and ELO! If you are interested please contact me. Life time fan.

[@mrwilliamwonder]

Evil woman is way better than don’t bring me down. Not even close.

[@nolemons]

Bruce Allen was known to bring down a room. I heard it was him. Thank you mr Lynn

[@soulpurposesound6940]

You have to love the simplicity of just knowing what fits in a song or what your after to make it work without even knowing the technical but achieving the technical. That to me is Jeff Lynne, genius without declaring genius.

[@robertstewart239]

Please turn up the volume. Almost inaudible.

[@pixelaided5664]

Know I know what a genius sounds like. 6 minutes. Wow.

[@dennisneo1608]

SIX minutes, you say? Interesting number.

[@georgiehollander2199]

I've often wondered about the song ::............Living Thing......if it was about Abortion / Termination. I've never found an interview abut this one actually.......

[@stevecox7075]

Jeff Lynne denied that was the subject matter at the time of the song’s release.

[@godzillagamingboy4785]

Apparently the song is just about love. Some theories goin around about “Oh the song is about the whale” or “oh it’s about an orgasm” but no, it’s just a song about love. Simply love.

[@anneverebely3033]

It came from a Mexican holiday I read he said thus the slipping & sliding & I’m diving lyrics
