That first “London” Quireboys LP was one of the best debuts ever! Every song, killer.

[@rjc7289]

Loved their "A Bit Of What You Fancy" album. It had a huge Rolling Stones vibe to it -- very organic, melodic and bluesy. It was such a refreshing change of pace from the "crotch rock" 4th-tier bands that were getting signed left and right at the time. I hope Spike sees some resolution with his legal issues regarding usage of the band name.

[@vistalite]

Have you ever talked to the drunk guy at a party who couldn’t stop talking in circles and just goes on and on and on without letting you get a word in? This interview is that.

[@shotgunrebels]

The show IS called “Waste some time…”

[@rjc7289]

Oh, it's not that bad. Look up the interview Jason did with ex-WASP bassist Johnny Rod. Talk about not being able to get a word in edgewise! LOL!

[@Intermentor]

@@rjc7289 He is wild hahaha

[@zenveg]

You’re not familiar with English wit, humour and verbosity. Definitely not drunk and it’s rude to assume so.

[@vistalite]

@@zenveg No one implied he's drunk, dimwit. Try to read and comprehend. It will do wonders for your life.

MY FUNNY QUIREBOYS STORY WITH ROBBO OF MOTORHEAD, THIN LIZZY! Robbo & myself had been dating & lived together for 5years when this happened. We were contacted by Lita Ford who was doing a gig at The Marquee in 1988 ( she was on tour with Bon Jovi) but did The Marquee gig Inbetween support shows at Wembley Arena. Robbo & myself were having a beverage in The Ship, the local pub on Wardour street the local to The Marquee, when in walks The QUIREBOYS. They were so elated to see Robbo there and were in high spirits shall we say! I was reading my Kerrang! magazine whilst the boys were chatting away, when the singer asked if he could have a quick flick through the magazine. It was the latest issue all about Bon Jovi / Lita Ford tour in town. Well, the singer finished reading my magazine and did not offer it back to me, he rolled it up as if to walk away with my possession! After a few mins I reached out my arm and began to asked him “ could I” when he butted in my mid question and say “have my autograph”? He finished the sentence when I said “NO no, I was just going to ask “could I have it back please?” the Kerrang magazine! Well, all the band & Robbo were in fits of giggles when they heard him ask if I wanted his autograph. He was so embarrassed the jibes he got for that the rest of the night was so funny. You should have seen his face, he really suffered at the hands of the band after that all night! Sadly The Marquee I speak of is not in Wardour Street west End but moved to another premises but great great times were had in there! 💜💜💜

[@briankirk7056]

You can really see how hurt he is that the other guys kicked him out and stole the name. I feel for him. Have been a fan since I was in high school. Another great one Jason

[@paulmurphy9293]

For fucks sake, let the man speak Jason! 😂😂😂

[@mitchellwells1021]

I met Spike and the band in Pekin,IL after their show he was the coolest and most gracious guys I ever met. Awesome dude

[@Dokken1975]

It’s 7’O clock, time for the party!

[@Rem1Gnova]

If Spike were to write a book I'd snap it up

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

I had 1 The London Quireboys album on cassette 😮. A Bit Of What You Fancy, loved ❤️ that album. Hiya Jason 👋

[@FullertonRadioService]

Absolute legend. Gonna bang away on some bottles of Newcastle tonight!

[@humbug4478]

Joseph Waumbaugh wrote the book The Choirboys wow I never knew this novel was the inspiration

[@RolandDeschain1]

That book is insane and hysterically funny. That 70s Wambaugh stuff was awesome.

[@1alsturgeon]

Some conflicting things here, usually is in someones pissed rambling. His comments on the current Quireboys line up (whilst being in it) are a little short sighted, at least in my opinion. Homereckers & Heartbreakers from ’08 & Amazing Disgrace are two of the best albums Spike & the boys have done. He speaks about making the brand bigger (& so it should be) all while doing acoustic solo gigs in pisshole pubs! In 2021 they were opening for Dead Daisies, I Don’t Love You Anymore was building traction thanks to Peacemaker (U.S TV Show) American tour in the works & Rock cruises. Isn’t that “brand” building in the right direction?! If all worked well, Quireboys today could had a decent 02 Academy run here in the UK. Stealhouse & Rambling Man Festivals, dare I say Download! It’s a shame it came to this, especially at a time where (stated above) things were falling into place again. Ive seen Guy’s interview, he seems like a cool guy, but then again, i don’t know him. Like most, the truth can lie somewhere in the middle. I was at the “reunion” show in London. It was a fun show, but at times awkward. Few “Thats / this is the REAL Quireboys” etc etc. The female singer Spike brought out was god awful lol. I’m excited for Spikes album. Hopefully theres a tour on the back of it. For anyone who’s interested, theres a full “Quireboys” gig on KZbin from Norwich this year. 90% of the set is modern stuff.

[@michellelivings]

Griff definitely wasn’t ringing the merch girl during the gig! But you make some really good points & it’s nice to see some people catching on. The contradictions & general level of nonsense claimed in this are beyond. It’s old news & designed to scupper The Quireboys current US tour

[@michellelivings]

I can confirm it wasn’t Griff, he was with me at the Christmas lights in Waddesdon! God knows who that was

[@1alsturgeon]

@@michellelivings fair enough. I will retract it from my comment.

[@realjohnnysorrentino]

Great job on this one Jason... Cheers and Thanks @Spike as well!

[@lisabergan9590]

This is the first time I’ve watched a boring video on your show, I felt sorry for you, Jason 😵‍💫 this was torture

[@RolandDeschain1]

This band also kicked off the career Ginger, who would later go on to form The Wildhearts, the best British rock band since Motorhead. Ginger is, in my opinion, the greatest songwriter in the world.

[@anthonyguzman6681]

This is a great interview. Id love to see a part deux!!! :)

[@michellesimon2264]

Ouch… This interview was a tough one to get through! Jason you have so much patience…

[@Intermentor]

Looking forward to the True Quireboys come with an album. Not the stuff without Spike. The Quireboys light

[@Hackr069]

my first ever concert was the Quireboys with Poison and Whitesnake I was 15 at that time it was badass

[@yesitsdenise7525]

Hi Spike :) Do you still talk to Kirk Miles?

[@YoungbloodVlog]

Jason Great interview man. I worked for z rock and I remember when these guys came around one of my favorite bands the London choir boys. Thank you for the great work brother.

[@Mission2Transition641]

totally enjoyed this!! been fan since i saw the band in kansas city on a bill with la guns. bought the cassette next day. even now, in 2023 its on my top lists of great good time rock n roll albums!

[@LEIFanevret]

Gotta agree 💯 as much as possible get the original band back! Rip Guy Bailey all honors! Spike get the real chops going! Quality over quantity! All respect to the genuine stuff! Down with the copycats!

[@ronzeller1647]

They were supposed to play in West Dundee,Illinois and then Covid hit…really bummed me out….I hope Spike can do some shows in the United States here… I Will Travel to see him!

[@richardmclaughlin6992]

F..kin legend great you got it out your system spike ,great interview, enjoy your night with the boys at Bannermans 🥀❤🤘🎤🎸🍻

[@jovishania]

Even the all mighty Jason green had to be losing his patience on this one

[@The6666aaaa]

Jason - you should have borrowed Johnny's nail files for that one !

[@user-vj3pr6yu2u]

Perhaps the best and most entertaining interview so far. What you see is what you get. A top man. You too Jason. As far as Jonny goes he rocks!

[@stevenanderson4690]

tell em to call themselves "The Ex-Quireboys" or "Quireboyz'nuff"

[@stevebarnard8580]

Breakfast viewing - thanks Jason!

[@contra4054]

I saw quireboys support David lee Roth in Hammersmith in 2004 when I was 16. Seen them no end of times in Sheffield after that at corporation. Lovely guys always out for a beer and a chat after a gig.

[@ScarlettEmeraldASMR]

Excellent interview Jason 👏

[@JoeJenningsGuitar]

Great interview Jason!

[@kelligula]

hi future episode with ex Metal Church bassist Duke Erickson?

[@scottjefferson6730]

He doesn’t let you speak lol

[@ericsatterfield3178]

Hello Jason and everyone 👋

[@zeketrick]

Time to start a tour with Johnny Depp and That Chick bass Player, with Vinny on Drums 😂

[@6410daniel]

London Quireboys - 7 oclock - HD loved it...

[@darlenerobinson8740]

I LOVE HIS VOICE ❤

[@user-se1yp3kj2h]

The first Quireboys album is a classic. It's a shame Spike can't move on from it! Does He think so little of the albums he recorded with Griff, Paul & Keith.? He'll be lucky to find a band as talented as those three They have been The Quireboys for the past 15 years or more!. He comes over as someone who needs to come into the present and stop living in the past! Sad

[@MorryB]

So Johnny Depp stole his schtick from Spike?

[@CrueHead18]

A bit of what you fancy! Great album! Poison sounded the best on that tour by the way.

[@wordysworld]

Like this - but must say The last 5 times I saw spike he wasn't with it - very drunk in Preston - I hope that is one of his 6. The Hot Knives Gis are always fantastic

[@joedias9089]

I Love It !!

[@davidhargrove6009]

Finally a C.C. DeVille story!!! Love to hear some from Johnny.

[@taberock]

Jason. Love Spike’s voice , but you do realize that Guy Griffin played on the first 2 records.

[@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen]

Playing 2nd guitar on those two records and contributing zero to the writing, doesn’t qualify him to use the name. It’s a joke and an embarrassment to that brand

[@user-se1yp3kj2h]

@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen Spike's idea of "growing the brand" is if he is he only one making any money!

[@vinniepeters1936]

I think the worst interview (not because of you, Jason) was with that guy from Dangerous Toys. That guy wouldn’t stop talking.

[@Intermentor]

Legendary guy for sure. And I really nice person. No arrogance here for sure

[@stevenbazan9681]

wow what a legend spike is.

[@Paulosav1970]

Great interview, I've met Spike many times the guy is a genuine person. The other guys touring with the name are dog sh*t

[@madjock-ig5bv]

This guy whilst drunk and incapable at a festival the other week decided to start telling racist jokes and using racist tropes! He was angry that it "wasn't the 70s which were great" as you could "tell racist jokes". Which he went on to do. Most of the audience (I wish it had been all of them) walked out at that point. I heard someone suggest "it was just the drink talking, we all say daft shit when pissed". Strangely I have seen most of my mates pretty drunk (some what we would say where I live as "blootered") and guess what, they didn't start spouting racist bullshit. Thats because they don't think that way. They aren't racist. Spike is. If he wasn't he wouldn't have spouted such racist garbage at that festival. No wonder his fellow bandmates eventually had enough. If they also knew he was an ignorant racist then they should have done it earlier. I own some of the Quireboys albums but I certainly wouldn't purchase anything now which gives money to this piece of garbage.

[@michellelivings]

Someone who finally gets it! Just the tip of an iceberg. The Quireboys in their current form are continuing to make music & rest assured, nothing purchased will line his pockets.

[@martygreggs]

Someone who’s seen him for what he is ! A waster , the band did the right thing getting rid ! While he’s pissing off everyone , the band are playing to sell out gigs in the USA and Canada , they are in a much better mood , and still making good raw rock and roll music , as for him , disgusting person

[@michellelivings]

And Guy Griffin was a pallbearer at Guy Bailey’s funeral…. Spike did not attend

[@macadoo2530]

This guy spike is a clown..I dont get how this no talent thinks he deserves a career in music..laughable

[@Gotti4453]

Where you at the funeral? Don’t think so

[@hotwirerecords]

Get bam, or tyla
