    This was my FAVOURITE band growing up! So cool!! I hope that Andy and Paul read these comments because I'd like to thank them for brightening my childhood. 'Secret' was my favourite song growing up! And their concert at the Masonic temple in Toronto decades ago still stands as one of my favourites of all time. If You Leave, Sailing On The Seven Seas, Walking on The Milky Way! Bring it!

    OMD, Tears For Fears, New Order, Depeche Mode were just some of my favourite bands in high school and now to see band members like Andy featured on my favourite reaction channel is a full circle moment!

    Andy comes across as one of the most down to earth pop stars around. Top bloke.

    One of my favorite OMD songs. The beginning is dream-like building up to a very unique melody with a unique tempo, including a lovely brass section. It's very much like a classical waltz.

    Loved OMD when I was growing up in the 80's. But unlike most other 80s bands I enjoyed, i never grew tired of OMDs music as it has always somehow remained fresh and I still love listening to their music. Andy is such an enthusiastic, cool, geeky, lovable guy. Long may he shine. Best wishes to you all. These reactions with Andy are pure joy.

    Andy, if you are reading the comments, way back when I was in university, some friends of mine used to host a music night and they would always end with this track. It was everybody's favourite. To this day, decades later, it brings back some wonderful memories.

    Oh my GOODNESS. This song takes me right back to my teenage years in the 80's and being lovesick. OMD are magical when it comes to evoking nostalgia and yearning in their songs. Thank you so much for having Andy on. May I suggest you explore Souvenir? It's absolutely beautiful.

    If I had to choose one word to describe OMD it would be "feelings". I don't know what musical magic that they worked with, but I got this impression from every song by them. Mood. Feelings. Also, the production on all their work is stellar. On this track there is such a gorgeous texture to the vocals. Very pleased to hear this song again, see Andy and your reaction.

    Fantastic Video! I never expected Kate Bush, Kraftwerk, OMD and ZZ Top mentioned in ONE setting!
    It sort of proves that all these artist were important as they belonged to the most referenced in their distinct genres.
    By the way: Also Kate Bush fell in love with the Fairlight Synth and she and Peter Gabriel were the musical nerds who went digging deep in that new exciting digital cave they digged.
    This was perhaps also the reason that Kate Bush Fans had to wait more and more years for her new Albums. 😢

    live and Die was definitely a favourite among many great pieces. Thanks, Jay & Amber, and Andy McCluskey as well!

  • @BongbongA99
    @BongbongA99 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    How wonderful that you have Andy join you.
    I remember buying the 7" single of this. For some reason the spindle hole was off centre and the song played with quite some appreciable wow. I really should have taken it back to the shop for a replacement, but I didn't. Strangely, every time I hear it now, I'm expecting the wow! I've almost accepted it as integral to the song.
    Keep up the good work Rob Squad. I really love 'tuning' into your channel.
    Kind regards.

  • @stevehamilton8824
    @stevehamilton8824 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    "Forever Live & Die" is a fantastic song. Such a beautiful sound, as is typical of OMD. They made so many songs that just have this incredible beauty with their sounds. Songs like "Enola Gay", "Electricity". You need to react to the song "Secret", as well as "Enola Gay", Walking on the Milky Way", "Dreaming". Great interview!

    Talking about Kraftwerk, I was surprised Andy didn't mention his (lesser known) collobaration with former Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos. Andy co-wrote a couple of Elektric Music songs, and also did vocals on 'Kissing the Machine', a track that is easily as good as the best of OMD.

    Hello my friends.
    First of all : thank you very much for this series and Andy McCluskeys comments. It was very nice to hear all the things behind OMD.
    Andy McCluskey sad, one of the greatest influences was Kraftwerk. One day you have to react to songs like Autobahn 1974, Radioactivity 1975 or Trans Europa Express 1977. Kraftwerk was and still is one of, maybe the best electronic band in historie

  • @jgreen6772
    @jgreen6772 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    This is my favorite OMD - I love the dreamy sound of it. Also check out "Souvenir" and "Walking on the Milky Way." And you really should do some more Echo and the Bunnymen: "Bedbugs and Ballyhoo" "Bring on the Dancing Horses" and "Seven Seas."

  • @SN-dy4lb

    And yes, please get to some Kraftwerk! I listened to "Telephone Call" and "Trans-Europe Express" on repeat in college. They were SO influential on many of the electronic bands that I love.

OMD was a brilliant band with some really great tunes. I saw them supporting another band in Glasgow. I think it was Depeche Mode, but I'm not sure, and they were still on form. I love the ZZ Top story, and I will always remember where I heard it. I will, of course, share this information. Thank you to you and the guys from OMD, if they're reading this. Æx 🙏

When the show finished we waited outside and Andy and his bandmates were looking out the window. The window was open and I shouted up to andy if he wanted to come for a beer 🍺 with me and my cousin. He started laughing. He said thanks but he was busy. Anyway he said wait there a minute and he come back to the window and dropped a tour shirt to me. I was really happy. I gave the shirt to my cousin. He framed it. Andy is a cool 😎 dude. ❤️🙏

    i was very young when I got married (43 years and counting) so couldn't afford concerts in the 1980s. I had to idolise from afar but I was lucky enough to see them live in 2022 at a concert in middlesborough. One of the best shows ever. I absolutely adore this song but its best played medium loud in a dark room so the sound just washes over you. Truly magnificent. Hope to see them again some day.
