Interview with Cast, Liverpool legends

[@ianproud7902]

Best band in the world. Thought Cast were miles better than Oasis. Their songs are filled with magic and they're amazing live. John Power is a true genius.

[@tazuncut3065]

He is a genius. Was so proud to get to interview them. Lovely guys. Keith even spared a few minutes to give me my first ever drum lesson!

[@tcaudiobooks737]

Both great.

Hello, Ian, nice to meet you! My name is Michael, I am 33 years old and am from Peru, South America. I learnt about Cast a couple weeks ago while I was watching a video of a guy showing their cassette tape collections. He had a bunch of artists and when he showed a copy of Cast's first album "All Change", I saw the album cover and really really liked it! There was something there that was really cool, the illumination, the Cast members standing, the men in suits around them. Then I looked them up and fell in love with their music. To me, what's most important is the lyrics and when I read the lyrics to several of their songs... I was fascinated!! I became a fan instantly. John Power is a genius indeed, I love how he writes his songs, they are so inspiring especially to other men, I think!

YOUR ON DRUGS YOU OASIS HAD MORE NO1 SONGS AND ALBUMS

[@MJ-zx3ct]

Oasis had sony promoting their crap music. Cast and La's are the best UK bands since the Smiths

[@pscch1]

[@neondemon7617]

Cast are ridiculously underrated.cracking singles and not a duff album.magic hour especialy is a gem and one of the best of the 90s.glad john and the boys are still around.

[@tazuncut3065]

Yes they are underrated. Their music is amazing.

[@tcaudiobooks737]

Magic Hour is better than All Change for me... and I love All Change.

[@andycampsall3832]

I love Cast I saw them live when I was on holiday in Australia 2019 they were amazing long may they go on ❤️❤️

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

"I like it outside when the the wind is blowing, I like it inside when it's raining " So profound My Cast top 3 Live the dream I'm so lonely Four walls

[@jeffsmith50001]

I can remember, back in the day, The LAs. Seeing hearing Johns enthusiasm. And wanting to just release good singles albums, craving the critical acclaim they truly deserved. Only for big brakes to be put on stuff. I was all ways rooting for John Power. Then he did it and formed CAST. Me a nobody electrician from Leeds was so pleased with his eventual success. And so sorry about the other bloke who went down the smokey rabbit hole. An eighth was very good value back then also.

[@Andrew-d7q]

Yes I’ve worked with Simon ( Liam’s Brother on a building site in Ashton in the early 00’s ( He is a joiner & a v good one too ). Guitar playing was our common ground . Simon gave me a v early cassette of beetroot . Cast have some great tunes 😊( And Liams a class guitar player) - Watching Led Zep brought me here .

[@botany500kojak]

Slash, ZZ Top, John Lennon and Keith Moon are in the house.

[@peterkin1010]

Lol, you aren't too far off with that one.

[@Gerardoooooooo]

John Lennon, no. The rest yes. 😄

[@onespeeddan6803]

Can I just say as well .......great interview. I'd have been well star struck!

[@BUTTERFLYLOVEHUGS]

SAW CAST A FEW YEARS BACK IN BRIGHTON... WOULD NEVER CAST THEM AWAY ..THEY ARE BRILL

[@ste.6026]

Never massive on Oasis and always respected Blur for being more varied musically but by far my favourite band of the period was 'Cast', loved all John solo efforts as well...

[@onespeeddan6803]

Free me is my favourite live cast tune. Saw them last week in Sheffield and it was massive 💪💪💪

[@ollyf5088]

Paradise city surely ;)

[@spencerglover1]

Saw Cast at trentham Gardens Stoke in 96, they were Magic ......

[@rizzledizzle3443]

Have beetroot on vinyl, remember It kinda got panned for being different from the first 3, using flutes and beats etc but I thought and still think it's a great album.

[@piepiemushroom]

John power has smoked some hash man!! He’s talking in riddles . Hes still that scallywag from way back

[@carolebarker2195]

Love John, yeah he's such a scally, bless him. "Just hittin' me stride" lol. The sound quality could have been better in this interview though. Where were they being interviewed, a school room?!!

[@brocktonblockbuster6555]

These Four Walls. End of 🔥

[@peterkin1010]

Bloody brilliant band. Should have been bigger than Oasis.

[@GazcoybUTFT]

SPACE WHERE A BETTER THEN CAST ALSO FROM LIVERPOOL WALK AWAY IS A GREAT SONG

[@stevenclark1973]

Wish the other 3 could have got a word in edgeways... but new bass player dominated video. :) Played in Room 2 next to you guys in Crash a few times... proper band. Met you a couple of times on the way in/out of there. Miss those days. Hope you're still at it... great musicians all of you. New bass player a great fit - superb. "History" for me... but I'm a guitarist. :)

[@James-nv1wf]

God, thought they were called Cast, not John Power.

[@theculturedthug6609]

Why does John sound like a wool these days when in the 90s his accent was really strong scouse?

[@DavidB-py8nz]

He's gone proper Birkenhead

[@swirlingfudge]

Erasure?...

[@Buccarado]

You gotta have more confidence asking your questions, man. Be more charismatic!

[@tazuncut3065]

Thanks for that. As it states.in the about info, I have dyspraxia, I find it hard to make eye contact and keep concentration. I am getting better though. Thanks again.

[@Buccarado]

@@tazuncut3065 Oop, didn't read that. Sorry for that. Glad you're trying!

[@tazuncut3065]

Hey it's no problem at all, happens alot.

[@stuartsimms4579]

Liverpool legends pity Mr power stole Irish Celtic fields athenrian for ponsies Scouse song... more Irish American p.

[@mrjasondylan]

You obviously don't realise Liverpool is 75% Irish ancestry and has always been tongue in cheek called the capital of Ireland. Liverpool is way more Irish than the States I know cause I'm from there and lived in the States for 13 years also. Having a dog named Paddy and a great great grandmother who married an Irish fella doesn't mean your Irish if your born in Chicago. Your American with about 4 different nationalities in you.
