Charlie is one of the worldsd best guitarists...massively underrated

[@gw2031]

Oh yeah,,,i've been a lead guitarist because of Charlie and Stuart Adamson ,,Char!or is so varied in styles ,, from the solo in Chelsea girls to the classic power chords in don't you forget about me,,everything is for the song !!

Great, great, great band. Changed my life for the better.

[@antonellasiciliano6423]

Jim Kerr sei bellissimo

[@dirkbogarde44]

He was very quietly spoken and polite in those early interviews, which was so at odds with the vast musical landscapes the band created.

[@eliaol4231]

@YCSMusic True Steve! This interview will have taken place a few months after "New Gold Dream" album release. The performance of "New Gold Dream" on this show was superb! Cheers!

@MrDemilord "Were here In the green room for thoughs of you with black & white TV's" lol!!! Thanks!

[@ajs41]

Simple Minds did lose their spark after 1984. Good question from Muriel.

[@toptonychick]

Its Paula Yates that died. This is Muriel Gray.

[@peacefrog1916]

Muriel Grey is very much alive.

[@toptonychick]

@dirkbogarde44 Hey! Your right! Jim Kerr became much more confident after 1982 (in my opinon). Thanks!

[@sofiaspiteler1326]

[@ALPQZM654]

[@shaunfoley858]

Touring with U2 ruined them

[@marvinsilverman4394]

why??

[@Premonition64]

They never toured with U2

[@fraserwatson3355]

it was shite compared to new gold dream, sons & fascination, sparkle in the rain in terms of musical development but commercially it did them no harm new gold dream is still the groundbreaker though
