An interview with Michael Bivins and Ricky Bell of NEW EDITION recorded in the dressing room at the Budweiser Superfest, Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia, PA - July 12, 1986.
What a gem of an interview. The guys were already discussing a life story as teens. Coming up on 40 yrs in the biz on 9-9-23. Congratulations fellas! I'm an #NE4LIFEr! Ride or ride harder!
Naw he basically said that they formed the group in 1980 then they had problems. Which they did with Streetwise Records giving them each $501.87 plus a BETA Max VCR for a multi million dollar platinum plus selling album and sold out world tour. Jump & Shoot Productions (Fastbreak in the NE movie) when they had to each borrow $500,000 from MCA Records to get out of that contract. Then they each had a tax case of at least $250,000 (some owed a little more) that they owed the IRS at the same time.
Ricky Bell looks like "Brock Peters" from back in the day on this interview ...Just Google "Brock Peters" and u will see....Scary resemblance, lolololololol
TheViper 267 Not to be mean, but you should have kept that to yourself. New Edition were not ugly when they were young just because they weren't your taste. They are not ugly today just older. Yes, some have picked up weight, but that doesn't mean that they are ugly.
mike and slick were just unbothered in this interview
Mike waves are spinning 🌊
"Tell 'em Rick" lol
Omg. They were so proper and adorable!

They were so cute... some of their answers are funny!
Mike so smooth
Just like modern regular teens. And they kind of seem sleepy and unprepared

“It Stahted...”, “No ones hair-ing you”
