[@MrDuda999]

the best band that ever walked this planet,we will always love the sound

[@COUVELOMBARDA]

simple, nice, honest, talented and ahead of his time. Adrian was a great guy.

[@KomackinoA]

Great songwriter with a wonderful voice, very passionate artist.

[@bblue5227]

It's been 21 years without him. Miss him dearly. Wonderful artist and such a nice person, too.

[@raven8576]

He seemed such a nice chap how sad his life ended in such tragic circumstances.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

What a gentleman Adrian Borland was.

[@Bends95]

RIP Adrian Borland cheers!

[@Secondskin_]

Seemed so down to earth and humbler. Very admirable along with his amazing music.

[@leoijsvelt9243]

Saw them at Parkpop. Best british band in the 80's.Adrian was a great musician.

[@jameshunter7303]

This is utterly brilliant. Thanks to Martin Popoff of Sea of Tranquility and the Contrarians for getting me here. RIP Adrian Boland

[@newwavepop]

THANK YOU! thank you everyone that uploads new sound content. it sickens me that adrian is not a household name. he was a genius.

[@robertsheph8858]

I listened to KROQ faithfully all through the 80s. How in the world did I miss these guys???

[@5eurocups2005]

The guy who is interviewing Adrian is really good

[@5eurocups2005]

Greatest Post/Punk band

[@totallandrovertube]

Without any doubt one of the most populair new wave bands in Holland in the 80"s Rellay under rated, still enjoying them today. Great to see that there is still a heritage of material!! Keep up th egood work, RIP Adrian

[@gql]

My favourite band ever!

[@stampingaddict69]

Still LOVE. The Sound. Such a pitty Adrian is gone ... 😪

[@peterjansen9914]

I always found the sound better than U2

[@keesvandenbos758]

Peter Jansen A documentary is in the making: facebook.com/AdrianBorlandDocumentary?fref=ts

[@andymarantz]

Very correct. Adrian died too early..

[@thesameoldstory9858]

Peter Jansen that it's like saying: "In my very personal opinion chocolate tastes better than shit".

[@jessmanuel540]

The Sound is a million times better than U2

[@newwaver8685]

the more I listen to their body of work, the more I agree. Adrian never lost that ability to connect, so authentic and real.. why did he leave us :'(

[@ROTFLBD]

Adrian seems like a cool guy

[@claudiadassen2131]

Wat een geweldige band! Echt voor mij nog steeds nummer 1 . Zo jammer dat hij er niet meer is 😒

[@tomchipman]

I like how he puts it at the end of the interview, that it takes a "cynical mind" to deliberately write a hit song. Look at the top 40 these days. Almost every "hit" resembles that comment.

[@StephenInfield]

Wonderful thrusting, driving song...drives right the way through...what a great rock song should be about. Still sounds as fresh and powerful 30 years later....

[@janschlimbach4424]

Yes broadcasted twice by dutch radiostation Vara in the show vara's Poppodium on Dutch Radio 3. , First broadcast had three sound-songs, one week after parkpop, On july 14th 1987 in Vara's Poppodium 25 minutes of this show with the songs: sense of purpose, prove me wrong, total recall, iron years, hand of love, where the love is and I give you pain. (i still got the tape!!)

[@TCmastr]

Wow, I was at that concert and I think I saw myself in the crowd! :-) Saw The Sound 3 or 4 times. Great, great band. Groeten uit Amsterdam

[@johnduncan9253]

you lucky sod, wish they had come to NZ

[@hansonmick]

lucky you, I missed them and I lived in London

[@familieblenderman1832]

I was there too! Unforgettable. Adrian was unique. Great band, lyrics and sound. That time when music came straight out of the heart instead of a PC... R.i.p .Adrian Borland

[@DJKEOS1]

[@stephanieromero3741]

Wish i could've met him 💔💔💔💔

[@equaltemper]

Thank you so much for posting this. Do you have any other interviews with Adrian? Its nice seeing him so happy. I only got into the Sound a few years back, but they are my favourite band. Amazing records.

[@JaneoAjena]

The reason why great artists aren’t recognized is because society needs to get educated!!!!!!!

[@JaneoAjena]

Atleast he’s recognized by the real ones:)

[@dustiking714]

Now 13 years ago that this very sad day took place, the day when we lost one of the greatest musicians that ever walked the earth.

[@Takac1979]

I alwayskeep coming back to this video. Adrian´s disappointment and the sense of impending doom for his band is palpable here, and every struggling artist should see this video ... Things might never pick up for you!

[@edwinmoya8042]

Dude if you're gonna look at things that way, you're always gonna be a struggling one! It's true that Adrian was disappointed with the music industry but he's not the only one in that position, it's just too bad he committed suicide, he'd have had success if he could have kept on going, that's what you should look at

[@galas062]

thank you!

[@venostar]

Love it

[@thiefgarr]

I got Thunder up. Lion's mouth nowhere to be found except online and quite expensive. Adrian looks happy and jolly here. In the Philippines 1987, only total recall came out there. The rest I learned here in Canada just lately around 5 yrs. now. Nice upload thanks. R.I.P Adrian. In the 80's new wave was very big in the Philippines; If only they've released In the Lions mouth there, they would have been popular and made money. There were 75 million Filipinos then and now.

[@Snaveltong]

vroeger was de vara ook veel beter

[@rjskum688]

Wouldve ditched the keyboards. Took away from the rawness that was in the music.

[@fatherpaulstone896]

Why? Take away the atmospheric layers just be another bog standard indie alt rock band then tge synthetic added the depth

[@gabrielceballos8789]

I like the synth in almost all of their songs tbh
