Thank`s for this interesting Video. My wife and I met Jim 2023 at his Hotel in Taormina (Sicily) and we had a smalltalk for 15 minutes. He is a really very friendly and relaxed person. We hope that Jim, like his Idol Peter Gabriel at the time, will still be on stage at 74. Greetings from Northern Germany.
I loved Simple Minds Don't You Forget About Me from the Breakfast Club soundtrack he once loved Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders had a daughter plus it went to number one back in 1985
Shoulda seen them in march. 4r yrz ago on an old mob, i had a wee thing written, as an opening page. Chaka khan, Tara-Johan, La, La,La,La. The latter being a wee ode to simple mindz. Ken the pandemic was in it n that, but a mind, shane, ot guy, who was helping wi stuff b4r i was leaving hospital, saw it. He obvz new what the la, la, la, la, la, was from when i sang it, i was like hope they play the hydro when this corona stuff is over. Missed out on moz 2022, U2 at sphere, woulda deffo, paid over the oddz, due to being un ok, due to a drz two errorz, in 2021, n hearing of my fatherz passing. Got myself better for his memory, hadn't seen him for a while b4r he passed. Fit ready to leave hospital, dr said mid dec 2021, then fecked up again b4r i was due home, dnt gt home tl march 2022, not ok. So what should have been 2.9yrz of home ok reconciling with my family, has turned into 2.6yrz of hell, and not reconciling with my family. Would have seen manicz nd suede at edinburgh castle also, texas at the wknd, jst passed. Crowded house, nxt month. Oh ok, mb al manage to see paul heaton in december. No out the woodz yet. N if i get to carry on regardless, mb al gt to see coldplay at wembly nxt year. God bless. Amen
His realtionship with founding members of SM is disgraceful i listened to a interview with Brian last night and its heartbreaking his physical and mental condition when he left the band in 1981 and he overreacted to the sacking of DF what the fook was he thinking !! and Mick had enough by 1990 its no longer a band its a karaoke machine !
I tend to agree with you on a few points.. they are my favourite band of all time… however I got sick and tired of the constant turnover of band members.. that could of been for many reasons but you do hear things of Jim being difficult at times.. now when I see them I think fair play to Jim and Charlie for still having the energy and enthusiasm to keep going.. but I just can’t warm to other session musicians that come and go.. for me the last line up I did like was the period that Malcom foster was on bass.. that line up was the last I warmed to.. still I guess we all get older and nothing stays the same

Awesome band. Love 'em! I have memories of listening to their music indelibly etched on my mind.
Best band in the world!
One of the best frontmen in the world of the most underrated band of the world. Far beyond U2
U2 and Simple Minds sound nothing alike, no competition, just different.
@@acekelis5943can't stand u2 - 🤮
Jim I love saw the minds in ent centre
Simple Minds make music that is exquisite and whose structure is undescribable. Try to pin it down, it's not possible.

I went to see them at Leeds First Direct Arena last week and they were as good as they were when I last saw them in 1989, great live band
His rock was not in Glasgow but for in an Independent Scotland 'Alive and Kicking' Oh yes please 🙏
