The Story of The Zombies with Colin Blunstone & Rod Argent (interview)

[@mrnobody3161]

Such gracious, humble, sincere and interesting characters. Makes one enjoy their music even more. The new album "Still Got That Hunger" is really strong. I listened to it over and over, it just got more and more enjoyable.

@@joelspringman523 History It originally opened in 1912 as the Empress Theatre, and at that time was used as a vaudeville palace. It later became the Hippodrome. On September 14, 1946 the Hippodrome's marquee suddenly fell to the pavement below, killing a bystander, Mrs. Jessie Shirley Potter, 41, of Alta, who was crushed beneath the marquee. Joseph Brady, 40, was struck a glancing blow and sustained a skull fracture, broken collarbone, permanent brain injury and loss of hearing in one ear. Damages of $176,334.50 were sought by Potter's family and by Brady in superior court. Shortly after the tragedy, in 1949, the building was completely remodeled and revamped to its current form as the Crest Theatre. During the 1950s and 1960s, it was one of the premier first-run movie palaces in the Sacramento area. As the decade turned to the 1970s, it was reduced to mostly sub-run fare. In the early 1980s, the Crest closed down for a time while several attempts were made to revive the theatre in many forms, including a dinner theatre. Finally, by the end of 1995, the Crest was completely refurbished and today its main auditorium (which has been left in its post-1946 unaltered state) is a multi-purpose theatre showing classic revival and specialty films, occasional live shows and lectures. Two additional, smaller cinemas were built adjacent to the original site around the time of the remodeling. The two subterranean theaters were closed in the 2010s and replaced by Empress Tavern in 2015.[1]

You had to see them live when everybody else was doing Hermans Hermits type stuff

[@juliepigois3330]

The thing about the Zombies is that most of the big British Invasion bands were so Working Class while the Zombies were so Middle Class in the British sense, which is so divorced from the American sense. By the 1960s, "Middle Class" in America was something everyone aspired to be. In Britain, "Middle Class" represented the Bourgeousie, the up and coming "Professional Class." St. Albans, the School dates back to the Tenth Century. You nearly literally went to bloody HOGWARTS in real life.. The Beatles, Stones, Hollies and Animals came from broken homes and parents that worked in old Mills. The Animals sang "We got to get out of this place!" Rock and Roll was a ticket out of Working Class monotony, being trapped in the same situation as your parents. I think the Zombies never got the contemporary respect from their peers because they could have easily gone to University and becomeshopkeepers, bankers or accountants

What a great reply,... *: )*

[@graemekornicki6810]

Well pink floyd were cambrige educated upper class boys,they got respect,personally i think the zombies were better than floyd

[@BeasleyStreet]

Everyone has to come from somewhere, it's not a fault of the individual, I don't see why you need to make this point, musicians come from all walks of life...

[@billiecrouse8002]

In 1967 when all of this music was totally new to me I ask a friend for the best and he showed me the zombies: tell her no.

[@NeilCrouse99]

This was a really great interview, but next time please title your videos more accurately will you?? This was an interview for the album "Still Got That Hunger", and nothing more. There is no, "Story of the Zombies", to be had here I'm afraid,... just sayin',... *: )*
