Pet Shop Boys Nonetheless BBC Breakfast 2024

[@saintetienne755]

No tragedies, no scandal, no break ups - respect how they kept themselves grounded and honest all these years

[@wilburwilbur7241]

We thousands upon thousands in the Philippines agree…..no spewing of anything personal…it is all about their brand of music that sounds enduring and endearing….

[@stayfrostypatrick]

That we know of. All we know is they could've paid a lot of money to keep things away from the public. We don't know if there's any drama or not.

The Pet Shop Boys’ whole style was too gay for many to really care much.

Met Neil Tennant in a record company press office when he worked for the old pop mag, Smash Hits. I remember him saying he’d formed a band. I was thinking, “Oh yeah, you, me, and every other wannabe. “What’s it called?” He said “The Pet Shop Boys.” And I’m thinking, yeah that’ll work. 🙄 But he made it happen, wrote some great songs, and is still going strong decades later. Hats off to him. 👍

They are pop history. Worked with many other stars too . !

[@absoluteacw]

This small chat is glimpse into why they've both remained this long in the industry. Both down to earth, respectful.

[@astropioneer3296]

So true. An interview with them encompasses great music, a laugh, and a history lesson all in one. I feel smarter after hearing a chat with Mr. Tennant. Such a literate and brainy fellow, and terrific songwriter to boot.

Perhaps one of their best telly interviews. Thanks for posting.

[@Liz_in_the_OC]

Lovely interview! Thank you. I think this is the most happy and engaged I’ve seen Chris in interviews

[@Monacomaverick]

I was thinking the same exact thing!

[@thatscousedude]

Chris just doesn’t like celebrity bullshit - he finds it embarrassing. Speak to him like a human and he comes out of his shell.

[@madkittyjoey70]

I noticed Chris smiles more being interviewed than he did so in music videos and photos.

[@stephenbarrette610]

They are simply the best. Neil and Chris are just genius. Their sound is totally unique, it’s the chord progressions as Neil said and the great melodies they construct. Huge fan for 40 years. Thanks for posting.

[@VBHAWK]

These guys are legends... been a fan since the 80's this new album is definitely a Breath of Fresh Air.. 2024. Please continue to create more music...

The Petshop Boys were at record signing party at a Tower Records in Hollywood. I bought a vinyl version of West End Girls just to have them sign it. Great guys!

Legends! And the new album is brilliant!

[@raywright8226]

Chris' vocal on Paninaro, which he calls minor, happens to be one of my favourite ever PSB moments. Especially the '95 re-record where he sounds so passionate 🥰

[@uidentity]

I think Chris also does “Time On My Hands”

[@raywright8226]

@@uidentity I think you're right 😁 Plus there's the hidden track on "Very" called "Postscript (I Believe in Ecstasy)

[@palom2828]

Oh yes! And then there's "One of the crowd", "We all feel better in the dark", "Lies" and "Decide"! And a bit in "This used to be the future". Chris doing vocals is quite a b-side thing. Actually most of my favourite PSB tracks are b-sides. They are so great in writing these three categories: Singles, album tracks and b-sides. Writing b-sides is very clever both in an artistic and the commercial perspective! And a great treat for us fans! 😊

[@djtrendsetta5766]

These two have endured and continued to remain relevant for so long now that they've really entered the very upper echelons of all-time great pop bands. I can't think of but a handful of ahead of them, if that. And Love Is A Bourgeois Construct gets my vote for Pop Song of the 2010's.

Now this is a good interview ! These interviewers actually knew what they were talking about. Which helped Chris and Neil engage much more. Loved it. Better than that BBC Live night with that Nuffy interviewer. What a disappointment he was !

[@se9496]

The Best! Can't wait to see you tomorrow!

[@letmetellyousomething123]

In my opinion It's the best work they've done in years. Some really cracking songs.

[@SpaceCattttt]

They're such oddballs! Neil presents himself as the perfect British gentleman, but underneath the surface, there's a very naughty boy, indeed. And Chris, although comatose in public, is a total troll whenever asked to speak! I remember watching Pet Shop Boys' video collection DVD about 20 years ago with the audio commentary on, and Chris' comments repeatedly made me spit my drink. He's a FUNNY man! Anyway, the new song, from what little was heard in this video, sounds very reminiscent of "Domino Dancing". Nice!

[@JJJGGG538]

I saw them at the Isle of Wight a couple of weeks back and they do a pretty seamless transition from Domino Dancing into Dancing Star

[@RocStarr913]

“Domino Dancing” absolutely killed their mainstream popularity in America.

It's amazing to see the Pet Shop Boys smiling. I thought they were always serious and even moody, with a touch of pedantic intellectuals, especially Chris, who I think has never shown his face.

They definitely have mellowed out in their old age. It’s nice to see.

Neil isn't a perfect singer and he knows that. He has a characteristic voice and that makes him stay to earth.

[@RocStarr913]

He knows how to make his limited vocal range work for him and the music.

[@Ozymandi_as]

Any vocalist would give their eye reeth to have such an unique and instantly recognisable sound. Granted, it's not bel canto, but he is a genius.
