We ALL did. And here the guys around us would never have guessed that for so many girls, the baby-faced guitarist with the giant sunglasses was our super-crush.
I have a self-confessed somewhat unhealthy obsession with Paul. He was just so freaking adorable back in the day. and then that deep voice paired with the accent and.... yeah. Such a shame the music business broke him because he's such a genius on the guitar.
I love these guys STILL here in 2024! I met a 1st cousin to Mike Score who was working at this big shop in Toronto .. back like ..2011 2012? Anyways .. I told him how I saw these guys at ALUMNI HALL at Western University in London Ontario , 1986.. that was a good year for live shows actually cause I saw the CULT and Tear for Fears at same venue also in '86.. Lucky for me London was just big enough for allot of really awesome acts to come.. otherwise we had to truck down to Toronto to catch them.. or God forbid Detroit!
@@NEXTxLOVER I really hope to have the chance again. I get so close. I hope to get an actual computer instead of this crappy phone, then I am positive I will be able to.
Paul Reynolds had an incredible guitar technique and sound. He was on the same level as the Edge and Andy Summers with the echo effects. Amazing sounds! I’ve been a big fan for years!
edge isnt a guitarist...he said himself hes a technician who likes to play with sound.jimmy page said the same thing.andy summers is light years ahead...
@@TylerDurden-oy2hm That's ridiculous. I agree that Andy Summers is way ahead. But of course the Edge is a guitarist. He's been playing the guitar for the past 50 years.
@@spurv I think that is just Edge's humility. He probably genuinely thinks that. He probably means that he is not a 'technical' guitarist like these blues and metal guitarists are. But to me, Edge is far more interesting to listen to than the 'technical' guitarists, who mostly sound 'same-y' to me.
Paul has said he started playing when he was around 10, so he had not been playing very long when he joined then band in early 1980 when he was just 17. To have that kind of talent & technique at that age... definitely a prodigy/musical genius.
@@XI_Daisy_XI John didn't start playing bass until he was I think 17. HE started off on guitar but switched to bass because they needed a bass player & he got influenced by Bernard Edwards of Chic.
@@AJ17_ ✨🎶🤘😎🎸Another neat bit of musical trivia is that Nikki Sixx (bassist for Mötley Crüe) also started out with an electric guitar. He kinda played it bass style to start practicing and playing.
Thank you, what a treat to watch! Paul’s sense of humor, beautiful face and that deep voice of his. So nice to see him being himself. I’ll never tire of watching this. Would love to see the entire interview though.
Oh gosh I have to get a pair of sunglasses like that! Iconic! Edit: I got the sunglasses!! I found a pair that looks exactly like his and I love them!!

He suffered the stroke back in early 2020. He was in the hospital for awhile. I have heard he's been doing better, though he is still recovering,. Poor guy has been through it. I really feel for him.
Incredible. Thank you for uploading this for people to see. I always wondered about the dynamic between Mike and Paul. So cool to see an interview with them mic'd up.
Paul was a great innovator. He must be at the same post punk party sharing drinks with Marr, John McGeoch, Billy Duffy, Will Sergeant and two or three others, no more.
Many, many artists are "cool", because they create an image not of their true selves'. Paul is properly cool, because he IS himself, in every way. Added to that, he is one of the most unique and creative artists ever to play the guitar, having created one of the riff's that will last long after we depart the scene.
This song was heavily inspired by 'I Ran" Have a listen it might be entertaining.@ Their guitar was so cool in their music, punkish,new wave excellence.
Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran is short like Paul and also has a deep voice. But Nick never had a baby face like Paul did back in the day, so it wasn't as jarring as Reno's voice is.
1983 for sure. Mike was starting to tame the hairstyle a bit then. And apparently this took place in Sunrise, FL (north of Miami, near Ft Lauderdale) according to the interviewer.
After he left AFOS, Paul took a year off not doing anything (didn't even tune a guitar), but he got back into music and played in several other bands throughout the rest of the 80s into the early 90s. None of them had the success the Seagulls had though.
I saw a guy with a ridiculous haircut like this in the '80's and he got on a subway and sat down on an old lady 'cause he didn't see her. How fkin' ridiculous. I liked Flock of Seagulls but what helped kill bands like this were silly things like the stupid haircuts. But what all killed more innocent music like this was that society became very violent, probably because of drugs like crack, so rap became the soundtrack for this crap society. RIP 1980's, the last decent decade.
I had the biggest crush on Paul Reynolds. Loved the glasses and watching him play! Thanks for uploading this!!

Oooooooooh charli

✨😉Charlie perfume reference, huh?✨
Had a big crush on him. Did realize how young he was. Amazing 🎸 guitarist
He was 20 in this clip in June 1983 (he turned 21 a couple months later in August).
Paul killed that guitar everytime.......Skillz

Reno looks like a kid (he was around 20-21) never imagined he has such a masculine voice...
I got to talk with him a few times and was surprised of how manly his voice is.
With his gorgeous baby face and all.

@@MetAxa369 good luck! Hope this happens
That was the exact same thought I had as soon as I heard him speak. He looks like a kid, how is his voice so freakin deep!!? Lol. It’s off putting.
There's just something so heartfelt about Paul's energy! *

Paul was a guitar prodigy, only 19-20 when they recorded "I ran..." Not many people play that well at that age...

Where did you find the glasses and what do they look like?
Yoo what brand ?
AWWWW i love reno's sense of humour
Was so rare to see because he was the "shy, quiet one" and always seemed so serious.
Please send Paul thoughts and prayers: he suffered a stroke recently.
🥺☹️
i didnt know that... hope he's ok..
Sending thoughts and prays to you Paul....

So cool to see the setup before the interview
Paul God bless you get better we love you!
I have heard he's been doing better.
Love seeing bits of these little gems I hope there's more out there
aw please upload the whole interview please!!!!!
Very beautiful and talented men here
Reyno was so underrated.
Paul was a great innovator. He must be at the same post punk party sharing drinks with Marr, John McGeoch, Billy Duffy, Will Sergeant and two or three others, no more.
Dave Fielding and Reg Smithies
@@Venkman00- The most underrated duo! Love The Chameleons and the Reegs! Sadly, their no longer friends.

He just has this aura about him. Exuded cool but was the "shy, quiet one".
Wtf upload more of these.... these are so rare
Oh God PAUL 🥵🥵🥵😘😘😘
If they ever made a film about these guys ....the perfect actor to play Paul Reynolds would be Will Poulter...hands down.
I can see the resemblance, but Will is too tall (he's over 6 foot). Paul is on the short side (around 5' 8" from what I've heard).
This song was heavily inspired by 'I Ran" Have a listen it might be entertaining.@
Their guitar was so cool in their music, punkish,new wave excellence.
love them then, love then now!
they were so cool...!
Thanks for sharing this video! wow!
They should definitely come to Utah to see the beautiful sights
True pioneers of synth new wave.😁
Mi sex were at least 4 years earlier than seagulls
Fantastic band
Bruh when the camera zoomed out paul was doing what ever 🤣
The classic "jerk off" motion. LOL!
Where is the second part of this interview? 🤔 I wanna see how it ends 🙏🏼
It should be in the historicfilms website! Just search up “a flock of seagulls and it should come up
Can someone upload the full interview?
post! more! seagulls!
Mike thinks he can go out and tour with anybody, but it’s not the same not even close without Paul and Frank and Ali
Can see where Gary Oldman got his interesting look for Dracula from.
D'Awwwww look how cute Mike is when he behaves!
Did Paul really have a deep voice?
I always thought it was the opposite because he was so short!
he had a very British voice
Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran is short like Paul and also has a deep voice. But Nick never had a baby face like Paul did back in the day, so it wasn't as jarring as Reno's voice is.
Subtítulos por favor 🙏
Cool clip. Paul sounds Scottish..🏴😉🎸🎶
He's from Liverpool. That's a Scouse accent you're hearing.
@@AJ17_ Aye.
Paul made the guitar 🎸 singer he's a unsung British guitar master
God bless Paul
Mike score fing rulessss
That's Michael Gove on the right.
0:47 from now on best part
the one with eyeglasses seems has a liverpool accent
The band is from Liverpool, so you guessed right.
try SCOTS , ya idjit!
@@coalitionofcommoncanadians5651Paul was born & raised in Liverpool. He has that classic Liverpool Scouser accent.
💘
Wow, love FOS, so what year was this interview(?)
According to Mikes hairstyle and seeing it in live concert videos, probably 1983
1983 for sure. Mike was starting to tame the hairstyle a bit then. And apparently this took place in Sunrise, FL (north of Miami, near Ft Lauderdale) according to the interviewer.
What's that 45 format they're talking about?
Video 45... basically a VHS tape containing 2-3 music videos on it. A lot of artists in the 80s put them out.
I'm gonna start a rumor: ... Paul Reynolds is Mel Torme's love child.
Paul un ser hermoso por dentro y por fuera, 😍 Mike Score feo y egocentrico, 😏
What year is this?
1983 I think.
@@AJ17_ Thanks!
Reynolds should have ditched these guys and formed his own band.
After he left AFOS, Paul took a year off not doing anything (didn't even tune a guitar), but he got back into music and played in several other bands throughout the rest of the 80s into the early 90s. None of them had the success the Seagulls had though.
Fact 1: this is the 69th comment on this video
Fact 2: MIKE WHY DID YOU SAY A BAD WORD
y’all think they’d do a lot coke at that time??

very well said.. I agree totally .. we should ALL think about that .. cause it AINT NO ACCIDENT! there are demons driving culture of west , MAKE NO
Cocaines one hell of a drug...... lol
