What a great spot on the wonderful Finn family! I loved Split Enz early on, really at a time when traditional rock seemed to be giving way to something called "New Wave." I wasn't clear on the origin of the band and Hollywood couldn't have scripted it any better to have the younger sibling join on and hit it out of the park with a hit. Neil spoke delicately about his success compared to Tim and is in fact on my list of top ten songwriters ever. But a HUGE nod to Tim who's beyond talented and I'm sure sparked a lot of inspiration for the younger Neil. Salute gentlemen, it's always wonderful to hear about great personal success especially when one's so humble and nice! Thanks as well for the awesome music through the decades!
I've always been a fan of all things Finn and this is such an interesting interview showing the ebb and flow, the Time and a Tide, if you will, of their personal and professional relationship. As always, thanks for sharing these moments!
I wish they gave founding member, Phil Judd, a shout out when discussing the early days, he was a main driving force in their sound and eccentric look as well as being the predominant songwriter.
They were part of Australian,NZ tapestry.You opened your pantry and a jar of Vegemite was always there,open the record cabinet and an Enz record would be there.
The first record I ever bought was Waiata. And in short order after that I owned the whole Enz catalogue. I now have most of what they've done together. My favorite is Woodface.
Great doc but Tim Finn has written incredible music that rivals Neil's. I took exception to the interviewer's cheap shot about sibling rivalry. They are both great musicians but with songs like "Poor Boy" and countless others, I am firmly in the TIM FINN camp.
Both talented down to earth Kiwi boys from Te Awamutu. No reason to be resentful of each other. You're brothers. Family. Fuck that question 60 suck minutes.
I worked in a band formed by a pair of twins in 1985. They no longer speak to each other. That's so sad. I lost my twin brother at 40. The most devastating loss one can possibly suffer.
Crowded House was created in Melbourne, songs (mostly_) penned here at the Osborne st house, rehearsed here and first gig here. Originally (Mullanes) 3 Australians & 1 Kiwi. So yeah certainly an Australian band. Split Enz are a NZ band.
Plus let’s not forget their biggest international album was Woodface which proved beyond doubt that the Finn Brothers are at their best when they work together. The contribution to the success of Crowded House is more in the kiwi camp to be honest.
Their music from Time & Tide still gives me shivers. Masterpiece

Loved watching this. Thanks.

The tunes bring me back to my college days, circa 80-84. Great frat partys to Enz tunes...
most enjoyable part of my teenage years....... and beyond. Thanks guys.
The Finn Boys and their band mates through the years have become Family.....Cheers All
Same Here
I have just been to see crowded house in Scarborough great band even now
Bless him 🙏
I just love and adore them. The music of my life. Simple X
Yes they was amazing I first heard them when I was 17 and 39 years on still my favourites so sad I never saw them live
I wish they gave founding member, Phil Judd, a shout out when discussing the early days, he was a main driving force in their sound and eccentric look as well as being the predominant songwriter.
All the best to the Split ends boys .. another soul touched by their messages so we dont feel alone and know there are real people out there
what she didn't mention was the excellent albums the brothers did together and the stuff they did on Crowded House.
Hard to believe Tim is 69 now.
I love those dudes!

I love the guitars, so vintage and only found by traveling the world and being in the right place at the right time.
Very nice interview, very honest. 😊🦆
Thank you. Some of this is really sweet and I adore their brotherly stories. I like they’re spunk.they are very talented musicians. Good guys.🦆
God, I adore the Finn brothers!
05:25 Awesome rendition of outro from Six Months in a Leaky Boat
Love that song!!!!!

I'm in neither camp. Love both of them, but agree with your sentiment about Tim. He more than hold his own.
content warning: no explicit content
Neil has his kids names etched on a guitar neck. "Elroy" is of course "The King". Nice😁
How about a 2020 show in Wellington. Guys come on!!!

Still has that accent 😎
If Carlsberg did songwriters.
Never called them or heard them being called the Fun Brothers!
You call them that every time you mention their name you Kiwi git.
@@benwilkins2998 No their Surname is Finn not Fun
@@andrewg3768 well, when in nz, I always hear them being called the Fun bros.
And parts of South Sydney funnily enough.
@@benwilkins2998 might sound like Fun in our accent perhaps but more likely saying Finn Brothers.
@@andrewg3768 you kiwis are not that slow after all.
We're young farts, LOL! Way to go ~ I think she meant they broke up in 1984, not 94...
Straight Goods She says 1984. It’s the accent.
Who's the reporter?
"..Crowded House - one of the most successful bands to come out of Australia.." Grrr! And I'm not even from the southern hemisphere!

@Mr Matt And another example is Paddy McAloon of Prefab Sprout.
Paul McCartney was right.
