Simple Minds , Brian McGee , I ended up 6 Stone

Brian McGee speaks to Rory from RMN Podcast about how all the driving and all the touring left him feel unwell and six stone in body weight.
He needed a long earned break but was that allowed ?

Outstanding drummer that period from 79 to 81 was so pioneering

Love you Brian ❤

[@-AEdrums]

My realization of my love for drums all began because of Brian McGee's work in Simple Minds; McGee totally ROCK's!

[@IronBhoy]

Brian McGee was undoubtedly the best Minds Drummer in my opinion. He and Derek Forbes set such a tremendous back bone to the earlier Minds Sound.

[@alanpopowicz533]

Your some guy Brian. Love you

Best drummer they ever had. They were never anywhere near as good after he left.

Sons and Fascination is the best SM album ever

[@garymcghee2249]

@@preving Empires, Sons/Sisters and New Gold are all masterpieces.

Hmm, I think Mel Gaynor was hardly a drop off. Yes Brian was great though.

[@Music-el7if]

@@Markeebee100 Mel is of course fantastic but the band were a lot better as a unit with Brian. they had a post-punk/motorik rush that disappeared after he left. SM's live peak was the 81' tour before recording Sons. They're frighteningly great. I think after that their best is '84-ish with Mel and Derek, and the 5x5 tour with Mel and Ged.
