Newsboys - Kingdom Man & Interview

Newsboys from thier "boyz will be boyz" tour. Featuring one of thier first versions of the rotating drum kit.

I saw Newsboys touring for this album in 1991 while opening for dc Talk. I was just a little kid, but I remembered a drum kit that turned upside down. Thanks for proving my memories correct. Now if only I can find a live video from that era.

I love Peter - don't get me wrong but I LOVED the Newsboys when JJ was the lead and Peter was the drummer. I guess I'm just remembering "the good ol' days". I did meet Peter once very briefly and he was so kind - very sweet spirit.

Thanks for the comment. currently John James is back in his hometown in Austrailia. He is working in ministry in his local church. There's a great article at crossrhythms about his fall and restoration. Google John James Newsboys and it should be one of the top results. God Bless

[@Neptuneman07]

This takes me baaaaaack to my grade school days. I love this song even if the melody is directly from Sammy Hagar's Your Love is Driving Me Crazy.

I'm working on my sixth fictional Christian novel at the moment which promotes the Newsboys as a band in the story around a fictional teenage romance (God's version, of course) around the time of their first popular albums such as this one and Not Ashamed. I hope to carry the promotion of this band over my future novels. I would love to send a free copy of my sixth novel when it's released to one of the band members. Just need to work out how I'm going to do that. It's all positive.

I haven't seen this video in years. I miss it when Peter was on the drums and Jon james was on vocals

[@CheyenneABrown122]

OMG this video is soo old thank you 4 posting it!!

[@eden512CCMREW]

according to wiki, this video was released in 1991. The song is from thier "Boys will be boyz" CD. Night and day difference from this CD to the next as they released "Not Ashamed" in 1992 begining thier Christian music rise in popularity.

Vernon Bishop was to the Newsboys what Will McGuinness was to Audio Adrenaline. He had the most energy out of all the members of the band. I can't believe he was only with them for one album.

[@TheCgt671]

I love how Sean Taylor (the bassist) seems like the only calm one. Lol.

[@Michelle062970]

HAHA! I have this video, too! (Somewhere in storage) I also videotaped them back in 91 at a festival because my friend told me that I should because they will be big someday (boy, was she right on the mark!)...I miss all those guys, now Peter the original member is gone...waahhh :( Thanks for posting..

[@missprincessemily]

Gosh this was old. Peter Furler had hair

[@VAU9HNY]

hell yeahhhh this is awesome! john james is the greatest

[@ehrldawg]

Awsome song and video.

[@Rawk4Life]

Peter Furler, the first drummer in Christian music with a rotating drum set. Only Tommy Lee of Motle Crue can say he did it first.

[@Michelle062970]

I have this video somewhere in storage. I also have boot legs of them up close at the XPLO Fest in Marion Illinois somewhere too ('91). That was the first time I heard them and I thought they were really awesome back then. I also have a bootleg of them at Cornerstone 94 or 95(?). That was back in the day before digital video cameras. I lugged that big camcorder everywhere I went. Wish I could transfer them to my computer.

[@ThereseM1]

That would be awesome to see the bootlegs! Maybe take a video of your tv playing them?

[@TheMrmongo911]

MAN john got some funky dancing skills

[@eden512CCMREW]

Thanks Dallas60! You are correct and I updated the song title. Since I promoted a concert with them back during this tour , you'd think I know that. he he.

[@piratesmvp]

The energy they had made the Newsboys a hit in the 90s. They're too conservative now, and that's why they're not as big a deal anymore. Hopefully John James will bring some of this back when he performs with the Newsboys soon.

[@eden512CCMREW]

Hi kshavo, I remember you. I was the one who inquired about the Leslie Phillips footage etc. the videos i posted are part of my collection. i would still like to trade. I need to work on that list!! he he he. thanks for the LP stuff you posted it was great. I've never seen her live as LP only as SP 2 years ago. she was great but i would love to see the songs i grew up with performed live from her b/w grey world and dancing with danger days. Ron

[@Incandescentgreen]

[@kshavo]

[@truthman10200]

Ummm, Robert Sweet was doing that during Stryper tours back in the 1980s, long before the Newsboys.

[@newsgirl132]
