I met Kyle and had a chat and also got a photo with him back when they were just making a name for themselves. I am from near Newcastle and I could not understand a word he was saying and that is saying something. He talks so fast. Nice lad though.

[@Adam-rv4wm]

Hearing the view changed my life, Heard superstar tradesman, grew my hair, fell out with all my dead beat pals, learned to play the guitar, one of the best things that happened to me. Took me a diffrent path. Best live band going! Hope the view get back ro and an get a new album together. See ya at the next gig

[@EddieG1888]

1. Kyle and his folks lived right across the road from me, I saw Kyle do the Beatles track Blackbird at St John's talent show when he'd have been about 13, even back as a wee laddie he was really keen. His brother Ronnie is a top bloke! 2. When The View were making the video for Skag Trendy they filmed the kitchen, living room and garden shots in my mum's house in Dryburgh Street. The microwave wasn't hers, and when the woman put the cigarette out my mum was well pissed off, because that was one of her candle holders!

[@pablofitzy]

Class story my man 👏

[@Marley999888]

Even my dad loved The View..he was born in 1952 and grew up watching the Beatles live so he knew good music when he heard it.Still love Realisation and Face for the Radio

[@sarahlouise5482]

Really good interview and respect to Kyle for his honesty and openness . I went the Chester gig earlier this month and it was amazing. A true voice that never fades.

[@bizkitt1921]

The 12 Step Programme is the only thing that has worked for me. One day at a time I am overcoming my demons. A new day a new dawn. I’m clean and sober for 6 years now and I have found serenity, hope and gratitude, however I am fully aware that the monkey is on my back, waiting patiently to pull me back in. He lies to you and says it will be different this time, but I know, from my experience, that it won’t be and I will be in the gutter once again. Great honest interview. 🙏🏽

love Kyle he has that energy of a toddler running around like a tornado. awesome he's off the sauce n the gear, ive always thought he had a kind of ADD/Attention problem cos he is always like a nuclear explosion, people who are so lively tend to get problems as its a kinda natural extension of their personality but id much rather the world was jam packed with people like kyle cos the energy rubs of on other people, rather than being surrounded by boring people all day.

[@jonathanhayward9401]

It was a bit shock shock horror listening to some of his past, if he didn't make it in the music industry, i bet he could of been a Superstar tradesman but ever interview he had, he had the same jeans on for 4 days!

Kyle was always a sound lad, used to drink with the regulars in London, him and the lads from the Enemy were never afraid of calling out the Camden clique for being the bunch of stuck up wankers that they were. Pretty brave thing to do as half of them could have ended your career at the click of a finger with a call to the NME. Much respect for the lad.
