Virgin Radio Classic Artists - Roxy Music

[@davidmoss4280]

Great hearing these guys from the worlds greatest band ROXY MUSIC.

[@carolilseanne2175]

I suffered 'Slings and arrows' at school for loving Roxy Music - it's never stopped me or changed my opinion 🥰🥰🥰

[@keithmackenzie-ingle757]

And that's why we continue to love THE avant rock band this country's ever produced.VIVA ROXY MUSIC!!!

[@edwardmulholland7912]

I have all their studio albums and they are all wonderful. I personally like the first 4 albums more than the last 4 and “Country Life” is one of my favorites because Phil and Paul are really shining on that album. Roxy were also a brilliant live band as live footage and bootlegs show and “Viva” is that rare thing - a great live album. Great, great band. Love them. Let’s not forget Bryan Ferry who wrote or co-wrote those great songs and had a unique voice.

[@TRANZEURO]

I'll be a bit more forgiving than you and say I personally like the first 5 albums more than the last 3. "Siren' is a good album.It's not as good as the four albums that came before it but it's still better than the three albums which came after.Oh,and 'Country Life' is my favorite Roxy Music album as well. lol

[@vinny9708]

Stranded is their best i think

[@antoniosvallis6637]

I feel greatful to them for the music they produced. They are virtuosos !!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

One of my favorite bands......so nice to hear these little stories about how they worked ...... I had the privilege to see them backstage at the Academy of Music in NYC.....magical night..... I was standing probably about 10 feet or so from Andy on the side of the stage and remember his pointed sideburns quite vividly..... Brian was wearing a red leather suit and tie .... musical perfection that evening....the sound on stage was impeccable

[@jackgrattan1447]

Roxy Music had a rabid following in Cleveland Ohio, and I can attest to their being an influence on punk whether they realize it or not. Just listen to some early Pere Ubu if you don't believe me. Matter of fact, Ubu called their music "avant garage". And prior to the formation of Ubu, vocalist Dave Thomas was a writer for Cleveland Scene magazine. He RAVED about the first Roxy Music album.

[@leskorpics1723]

Real time music and classy ladies!!! ROSEXY!! What can I say, my time and memories never been taken away!! Period!!

[@siobhangreaney191]

Flesh n blood and Avalon I love them all As gathered the rest I started listening to them once I heard Dance sexy in 1979 that was it once I heard that fan for life. ❤❤❤❤🎉

[@siobhangreaney191]

That was meant be Dance away when I wrote this post sorry.

[@coonagh1]

Wonderful to see and hear.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Great video on 2 of important artist's of early 70's. Middle albums are my favorites.

[@SimonBates-t2d]

Bryan always gets the attention for his sartorial style but I've never seen Andy Mackay look anything less than dapper over the years. He has a cool calm presence.

[@jm252]

Awesome! Thanks

[@DestryAlecto]

Oboe on other similar era music... all I can think of is Soft Machine who had numerous uses of the oboe from Fourth through Alive and Well in Paris.

[@kelb6073]

My favorite album is Siren. Perfect album. The ones after are not as good, but still have some classics in them. But those first few albums are perfection!

[@hiraeth1340]

Shame this interviewer didn't know the history and importance of Roxy Music. His clear lack of knowledge about the chronology and significance of the group really stymied this. These guys were an open book, ready to talk about anything, and the interviewer just misses opportunity after opportunity to dig into the story and the songs. Also, yea why make a big point about how Roxy were "his parent's generation", when he looks as old as they do.

[@timleffel6665]

Right..

[@MrNemo-oi8cl]

30 secs in and he is a prat.

[@siobhangreaney191]

😂😂😂that is quiet funny saying that he does look older then then Phil n Andy

[@charlesnolan7602]

Hello Andy.... Hello Phil...

[@grahamking6837]

What is Jurgen Klopp doing on here, he soon lost his German accent 😂😂

[@christopherdavies3079]

Looks like Andy Mackay isn’t happy that Bryan Ferry gets the credit for writing the first 2 Roxy Albums probably due to the royalties that he’s missed out on . Not quite sure why he’s brought it up now when he’s says it’s too late to worry about .

[@DOCLASHOE]

Did they say "Fours" on the bass drum? What does that mean?

[@robertkahn6817]

On each of the 4 beats of the 4/4, the bass drum is hit. 1 2 3 4. Thud thud thud thud.

[@patricketienne2579]

How many times will the interviewer say "kind of"? Is ANYTHING 'actual'?

[@caeserromero3013]

Is the guy in the glasses Jurgen Klopp?? 😂

[@Amenphoto]

Going on and on about Roxy Music's disco pop hits, while making NO mention of their best albums, "Stranded" and "Country Life," demonstrates how clueless the old guy interviewer is. Seriously? With songs like "Mother of Pearl, Amazona, A Song For Europe, Out Of The Blue, The Thrill Of It All" and "Three and Nine," he wants to know about "Dance Away" and "Angel Eyes?" I've been a devout fan of Roxy Music since seeing them on their first U.S. tour in 1972 and last seeing them on their 50th anniversary tour in 2022, and have witnessed their evolution chronologically, and can read between the lines of the statements by MacKay and ManZanera. I'm glad that there is continuing and new-found interest in Roxy Music, but the interviewer reveals himself as "The Bogus Man."

[@siobhangreaney191]

Yeah he looks like the liverpool manager 😂😂😂

[@adampage8065]

Global stars yet Virgin cannot spell Manzanera. Bit of an insult

[@issajones4388]

Your not Jamie east your Juergen klopp 😂

[@GrahamHarvey-g7x]

Interviewer is rubbish, jumping from virginia plain to dance away, , clueless, manzanera and mackay class acts , great musicians, deserved better

[@australiana58]

The interviewer doesn't properly introduce the guests. Pretty elementary. The interviewing is so crass and inept, makes it more boring than it should be.

[@mike_burke]

I could listen to Phil Manzanera all day, such an open, intelligent guy with a million stories to tell. Rarer to see Andy interviewed. A wasted opportunity, I agree. Someone with a bit of genuine interest and/or knowledge of the band would have been better. Rather than someone who vaguely remembers his parents playing Dance Away over and over 😉

[@simonineaston]

old blokes, half-remembering the faded memories of their youth... looking old and forgetting what they did, why they did it and why they're there. Pointless, boring & embarassing, even! Yaaawwwnnn...

[@warrogue1798]

Yes, it's sad that we have to get old and lose our youthful beauty. It will happen to you too, if you live ,long enough. If you are not interested in what these musicians have to say, why are you here?

[@carolilseanne2175]

You had to watch it anyway, didn't you? 😉😉

[@petephillips6494]

Simon Painter these guys were rock legends. What will you be remembered for? You’ll get old one day and people will say that about you. Boring old fart. Ha Ha

[@siobhangreaney191]

People that say these these never think they are going to get old or lose their memories through dementia I hope he he doesn’t say that about his own parents when they get to 70 ,80 or 90
