Men at Work songs were the anthem of my youth. I learned to play the saxophone when "who can it be now" came out. I fell in love with the soprano saxophone when I heard "overkill" for the first time. I ended up playing professionally and still do. Colin's music still resonates with me. He's one of the musicians I'd love to meet and play with. Thank you for the years of wonderful music Colin.
The Beatles defined the music of my youth. I had the pleasure of seeing Colin Hays in Las Vegas last year and again in San Diego a few months ago. Both times as the songs from the various band members of Ringo Starr's Allstar Band were in my head after the show, it was Colin's voice and a couple of his songs that stood out. They were in my memories and I have been connecting with his music again. I appreciate his work very much.
“Who can it be knocking on my door? Stay away Don’t come round here no more…” The lyrics by Men at work will forever be etched on my heart We love you, Colin, We love you so dearly
Colin. I'm 60 - you still are The Man! Always loved your work and now I love it even more. It is so good to see you happy and thriving; you are a true inspiration.
tengo 40 años de edad y hace unas semanas por fin pude cumplir el sueño de verlo en Perú y fue increible no alcanzo a imaginar como fue en los 80s ..gracias por hacernos vibrar
Thank you, this was a really hearth touching documentary. I like the music from Men at Work already from end of 80ties, when found a old unmarked tape ( in mono ) at home, didn't had a clue, who is actualy singing on that tape for next 10 years, but I was lissening those songs, again, again and again. I still have that tape till these days and takeing care that nothing happens with it, because, it's my first connection to Men at work. When I found out after years who is singing on the tape, I bough all the albums on vinyls and played to my daugther. The band instantly became one of her favorite bands, so much, that I'm careful about my vinyls or she'll scratch them through. Btw, till today I don't know, who recorded and brough that tape to our home, my dad didn't knew it also. But it was there, between the tapes, next to another not marked mono tape ... which was from from The Holies...
It was just circumstances. Circumstances usually dictates most things. ... But I was using you, shamelessly, while I plotted and schemed, tried to figure out how to get back to the lofty peaks of superstardom. Where I so clearly belong. That was in 1991. I had a long-plan term. Maravilloso! Gracias Colin
One eve in Pa. I was asked if I knew of Colin Hay and if I could pick him up to bring him to the show that eve. A wonderfull short trip with a new friend.
“You!!” Truly make me see a different present day in your boots. Sadly, in your boots you would’ve been a certain success, be it Glasgow or Melbourne or if your great Daddy had taken you to Vancouver or Toronto, you would’ve been performing today I’m guessing quite similarly. TY for the reflective trip that I rarely find depth in, as deep as a humanitarian that I’ve needed.
The rapid, awful fall of that fantastic band was one of the biggest disappointments of my teenage life. I wanted so badly to enjoy "Two Hearts" and Colin's solo material, but Men at Work without the Men was like Queen with only Freddy Mercury. If you remove a couple ingredients from a perfect recipe, no matter how insignificant those ingredients might seem, the entire dish completely falls apart. And once Greg Ham was gone, it was game over. Utterly tragic. That said, I'm very happy to see Colin enjoying happiness and at least some relevance today. Greg Ham, on the other hand, was utterly consumed by depression and addiction after that idiotic "Kookaburra Trial." Someone needs to make a video about that tragic cautionary tale, because Greg was arguably half the musical genius that made up Men at Work.
Your a kind generous man and a great musician and singer men at work was a very talented band anyone could tell all you guys loved to play music and have fun loved the videos always a pleasure to hear your music thank you and good day mate 😊
Fantastic documentary; I’m originally from Kilwinning just along the road from Saltcoats: your Dad made a good decision Colin! Ps Jimoen is the best comic going too!
Great to see Ron Stryker on here....He and Colin didn't speak for many years( in fact Strykert was once arrested for threatening to kill Colin !! )....so hope this means they have made up ???? Just Iike Noddy and Jim Lea ...they haven't spoken for over 20 years !!!....very sad .🌟⭐🎸🎵🎵❤
I remember Men At Work, I thought they were a good band. Not a band that I followed but I didn't change the channel when they came on the radio or tv. I knew of Colin Hay but I never really heard his songs outside of Men At Work. After watching this Doc. I feal like I've missed out on a shitload of great music. If he comes to Mass. I will definitely be there to see him live.

overwhelmed by "just not picking up the sword." colin hay is hero material.

We love you, Colin,
We love you so dearly
In 1981 …I was 21 years old. I heard this song …listen to them all the time. Great band.😊

Where I so clearly belong.

Maravilloso!
Gracias Colin
Brazil Loves so much Colin and his songs!!! My son Gabriel (14 y old) always saw me playing Men at Work on my guitar, and fell in love too.
He is touring the U.S. next year. Go and see him and take a long look and have a good listen. He is part of a tradition that is fast disappearing.
Thanks for sharing your story and it goes without saying your music throughout the years Colin> Legendary ! Cheers

One of my all time favorite bands…..❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent. Very touching and enjoyable and human
I love you Colin.!! From Italy
He’s got the voice of beauty
I love this guy, and this is such a great documentary and a great story.
Fantastico, fiquei a gostar ainda mais do Colin Hay!
Excelente artista, uno de mis músicos favoritos desde mis 9 años (desde 1982 cuando salió Business as usual y mi prima Marina me regaló el cassette).
The rapid, awful fall of that fantastic band was one of the biggest disappointments of my teenage life. I wanted so badly to enjoy "Two Hearts" and Colin's solo material, but Men at Work without the Men was like Queen with only Freddy Mercury.

Don’t know what this is but I’ll like it 👌
You’re following your heart:
I admire that
Fantastic documentary; I’m originally from Kilwinning just along the road from Saltcoats: your Dad made a good decision Colin!
Ps Jimoen is the best comic going too!
Sinceramente é disso que estamos falando? Estamos falando de vidas sinceras? A vida é como ela é. Parabéns Colin.
Beautiful!!!
Great to see Ron Stryker on here....He and Colin didn't speak for many years( in fact Strykert was once arrested for threatening to kill Colin !! )....so hope this means they have made up ????
Just Iike Noddy and Jim Lea ...they haven't spoken for over 20 years !!!....very sad .🌟⭐🎸🎵🎵❤
Oh my God:didn't know that..what was the reason?What happened?.
Excelente! Gracias por subtitularlo!
The story reminds me of Hugh Cornwell.
The Best, fantástico.....
beautiful
Brilliant. Nice, nice man.
Looking forward to seeing you someday, in Spain perhaps?
Big soul...... 🙏🎶👍💕
I know what it is and I like it too. You 3 must be youngsters if you haven`t heard of Colin : )
Bloody well right good
36:53 Whoa.
Random. It appeals to me
Men at Work and Colin Hay for ever
How did Colin loose one of his eyes?..
He has both eyes, one is just a lazy eye.
Minstrel.
Same😂
