Love that Liverpool accent. Paul Reynolds is one of the most underrated guitarists and in my opinion (probably many, many others also) never got the props he deserved. His playing is original, creative, distinctive and is the sound of F.O.S., more than the synths. When you hear that guitar sound/tone, you immediately know who it is.

I saw bands reunited and I have to agree with Paul, FOS🎉 could have been the biggest band in the world. Like another Liverpool band well known, their youngest was stressed from heavy touring! John Lennon was considerate to have the band 'go home' to England, just focus on creating more great songs.Mike Score and the other members did not seem to have the foresight and confidence/sophistication to understand success is due to each member of the band. Make no mistake Paul had the star power/talent that made FOS. Yes Mike wrote the songs but did he realize how important esp. Paul was? Mike was afraid it would all go away if no touring, then he created that reality and ruined what might have been. Mike out there trying to profit still of a band no more or use FOS name is not right and fair to the other members. very much alive.

Paul said on Bands Reunited that leaving the Seagulls was probably one of the best things that ever happened to him, because if he had carried on like that, he probably wouldn't be here now (he knew he was slowly killing himself with the heavy drinking and the like).

How did I know that the seemingly frail and wimpy guitarist in the video, Paul Reynolds, would have a deep manly voice.
@AJ17_ Жыл бұрын
Face did not match the voice (he was I believe 22 here... not long before he left the band actually). And frail? Wimpy? Hardly. Reno had a special kind of aura around him back in the day when he played. To me he was a total badass.

I wonder if that was one reason why he never talked a lot in interviews back then? I know he was the "shy, quiet one", but maybe he was self-conscious about his deep voice? Who knows? Funny thing is, listening to the music now, I can easily pick up that deep voice of his in the backing vocals.

they asked Paul what's the meaning of the more you live the more you love, Paul said, Mike writes the lyrics, If i get it wrong, i don't want him to get mad in that type of thing. That's why Paul left. It just shows what Mike is really about. Mike is so pathetic and self-centered and arrogant. just saying.

Well that song really was personal for Mike, as it was about a childhood friend of his who committed suicide when they were in high school. So I can understand why Paul said what he did, because he didn't want to say the wrong thing.

Like most rock bands they all have their issues. With the Flock, Frank was the manic one, upbeat ready to rock the world, Paul was the depressant anxiety one who was terrified to come on stage and he was only 15 I think when he started poor kid, then theirs Mike and Ali, two brothers who couldn't get along and if it wasn't for that, they still be playing right now since Frank wanted to reunite when they did the VH-1 reunion special but Mike said no...so, so sad. And just one last thing, dose Ali remind anyone else of that actor Peter Stormare? He was the bad guy in most movies like Fargo, Constantine, the Eye Doctor in Minority Report? To me he dose. Lol

@@janebraun4482 Paul was (barely) 22 when he left the band (his final show was September 27, 1984 at the Beacon Theater in NY - that date has been confirmed by Paul himself - and he turned 22 on August 4th of that year). And I've heard conflicting stories about how Paul came into the band. One was he saw an ad the other guys placed in the local paper looking for a guitarist. The other, Frank said he spotted Paul waiting at a bus stop, thought he looked like a musician, went over to talk to him and ended up inviting him to come audition. But Paul was 17 when he joined the band in early 1980 (and turned 18 that summer).

He was good looking, had amazing talent for such a young age (he was 22 in this interview & was just 17 when he joined the band) and he just had this aura about him. He exuded cool, but never put on airs. Was always very humble. Us girls find that extremely sexy.
