drummer Jon Moss on TV during a private visit to Israel (1985) Interview is just before Culture Club and Boy George came to their first (and last) concert in Tel-Aviv Host is Ehud Manor, "Ad-Pop" program
Liz Ward Ohh very jealous of you right now for knowing Jon, he does come across as such a lovely, genuine man. I love this man, he is absolutely beautiful.
Wow...not only is he hot, but he's also such an interesting person! No wonder Boy George and he fell for each other. Both of them are just so interesting.
I agree that Jon should've done more interviews. He' really great here and gets his point and I actually agree with a lot of what he said. I was sort of shocked by his honesty. I think George (back then, not now) would've been a bit defensive about the questions about the Waking Up... LP. I miss the sincerity of the 80s.
I had no idea that Jon Moss had so much experience, before Culture Club. This is the first time, I have seen and heard, Jon Moss speak so much. I absolutely loved this interview and forgot how handsome Jon was ❤
OMG, that Jon Moss was Beyond Gorgeous! A very articulate, charismatic and intelligent gentleman. I've always heard that he's a Genuinely very nice Guy. His Son is handsome but nothing like Jon was.
Wow. Culture Club were my favorite band as a teenager, and I am proud of my choice as an adult. What an incredible diversity of huge talents. They were/are one of a kind.
Jon Moss was a very handsome man. He is still cute to this day. He seems very witty and intelligent. I love him. Cool guy. I've always had a crush on him.
I was very young when CC was at the height of their fame so I didn't know of Jon Moss until recently when I watched an old CC video. My heart literally skipped when I saw him & I had to find out who he is. He has to be one of the most beautifullest men I have ever seen. Now totally obsessing over him right now, I can't get enough of him. He was absolutely stunning and appears to have a lovely personality too. Total gorgeousness!!
I REMEMBER him, he was SO hot, he had black hair with light eyes! When I found out earlier this year (Jan 2023) that George had pushed him OUT of the band, I was bothered and messaged all 4 of them. Except for Jon, my messages went unread. Jon responded in about a day and a half and even FOLLOWED ME on Instagram for awhile! (I was SO surprised!) What a sweetheart! ❤❤❤
This is a fantastic interview! I didn't know it even existed and stumbled upon it by accident, and am so glad that I did. Wonderful and intellegent interview. Jon should have done more interviews instead of all of them being done by George, then perhaps the press wouldn't have had such a "Boy George over-load" , which eventually hurt the band.
This is a really good interview. Jon seems so down to earth and genuine. I see this in George in his younger years. I believe they were in love. Neither one used the other. George grew up in a toxic household in which he saw his mother loving a man for over 50 years I believe who best her down both physically and emotionally. George will self sabotage any relationship he is in unfortunately. Doesn't make him the bad guy. I love both of these fellas and hope they have some fond and happy memories from the past. Life goes on..........
I like Jon Moss, he was a cool guy and a great part of Culture Club. Too much is put on his private life with George and it's no-ones business what fallouts they had, they made sublime music together. Culture Club were brilliant, I can't wait for the new 20012 album.....it's going to be brilliant.
After less than a year, WUWTHOF sold 7 million copies and it was considered a failure... Nowadays, if you sell 120 thousand, you're considered a star.... How things change...
Fuck man john played with almost every kick ass punk band from England during that time before culture club!!! The Clash, The Dammed, Adam and The Ants??!!!
So basically whatever Jon says or does he is always the bad guy. He has to pay for the rest of his life for the mistakes he made when he was 25. No wonder George can't find another guy. No one wants to be crucified and punished for the rest of their life like Jon has been by the Boy George fans.
@begothic2 If you like Jon you should check out this new facebook page devoted to him. It has lovely pictures and some really great interviews with him including one from absolute radio recently. Jon makes me laugh so much. Actually he's a lot more witty and clever than George. Mostly now George just uses profanity.
BRILLIANT INTERVIEW. I wish I had seen this years ago. It really enforces my ideas of true pop and integrity not politics nor the groups that pose and support a notion that they are conscious or woke. Let the purity of pop speak. Like everyone comments: no wonder George was head over heels with Jonny.
@gabsylv Oh stop, you are out of your mind. First. Jon has said in many interviews how much he loved George. It's obvious, he did and it wasn't just for the money. Secondly, George did date another guy for many years named Michael Dunne who was just as good looking as Jon. Stop blaming Jon for everything. A lot of George's problems with men are because of his father who beat G's mother, not because of Jon.
George also benefitted careerwise from their relationship. Jon had more experience in the music business when they met. If George had never met Jon, I doubt George would ever have become the star, legend and icon he is.
I am glad the interviewer stuck up for Waking Up With The House On Fire as well. My all time most loved and for me most GENIUS Culture Club album will ALWAYS be Kissing To be Clever + Though Colour By Numbers is their most tight album, for me it almost loses the sense of what Culture Club were. It lacks culture in a way for me and it's too clean and too pristine. Waking Up With The House On Fire retained the EDGE Kissing To Be Clever had. it was more dangerous and more true to what the band organics were. I think hello goodbye should have been a single instead of The Medal Song however. And though I love the album more than COlour By Numbers, I do think tracks like Crime Time and Mannequin were a tad weak. Don't Go Down That Street should have replaced one of them tracks instead of being a B-Side.
I think my favorite was the first album, Kissing to be clever. I think they should’ve released, “Black money”. That might be on the 2nd album Colors by numbers.
Yes and I've got bad news for the Jon Moss haters. His son wants to play the drums too! So there's a Jon Moss mini-me out there! Sort of like Madonna and Lourdes. How cute and adorable is that!
This is the BEST! Almost ALL Culture Club interviews become Boy George interviews! The press persistently hovered over Boy George like he was "the freak of the week". As a result, the public never got to know the other band members, and some of us WANTED to!
07:50 Blasphemer!!! Seven and the Ragged Tiger was Duran Duran's only album to not only chart number one, but also go IN at number one in so many countries, including the US. This is where New Moon on Monday, The Reflex, Is there Something I Should Know came from.
The fact Jon was straigt again wasn't helping George. There was a lot of blame to go around. I liked some of the interview, shedding g light on the beginning of the band and Jon's influence of it.
@gabsylv Also, George's first relationship wasn't with Jon. He was with Kirk Brandon before Jon. Why don't people blame Kurt instead of Jon, since Kirk denies they ever had a relationship to this day?
Yeah compared to the previous two Duran Duran albums, The Ragged album isn't really that' great but I do like listening to it still. Not saying you must compare to other music but compared to what music that has been on the radio the past 30 years I think it's really good. I like Jon's honesty about how he feels that The Ragged album is horrible. Wonder if Duran back then ever heard of his opinion on the album. Even if they heard they probably wouldn't care what a member of Culture Club would say.
I love them to be together. They were so in love back in the day. But Jon have wife now with 3 kids so there's no way they would get together ever again. Haiz :-
@irshgrl500 You want me to praise George for finally stopping doing something he never should have done in the first place? I'm not going to. You are your past. You can't escape it. No one ever lets Jon escape his. They rehash every mistake he ever made endlessly. Why is George always let off so easily and his bad behavior swept under the rug?
yeah! i born in 1998 and i remember when i was like 10 or 11 y/o and i had a BIG crush on him 😭 when my parents put the music videos of culture club in the tv
![Jon Moss (Culture Club) - Interview with Spike [PART ONE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/a4Vo3sz4E2c/mqdefault.jpg)
Jon Moss was handsome..
Very handsome not only handsome. . . .and a sexiest boy I think. . . .
Jon DID look like a young Tony Curtis, right enough: he's cool!
I know, I thought he might be related to Tony Curtis in some way.
Yes he does look like Tony Cutis I thought too !
Shell Oil Junior?
My God he was gorgeous .No WONDER Boy couldn't let him go .
Neither could all the women he dated. He's still good friends with his ex-wife, which is a Good thing since they have 3 Kids together.
a dwarf
He's a "dwarf" but a gorgeous "dwarf." What a handsome man! [besides, you dont know what he's packing! LOL]
Yeah, he was adorable.
@@redrumax he looks about 5'8" - shorter than average, but certainly not a dwarf
I know him quite well, he's a really lovely guy, so genuine!!!
Liz Ward Ohh very jealous of you right now for knowing Jon, he does come across as such a lovely, genuine man. I love this man, he is absolutely beautiful.
Hermoso tambien.
What a beautiful man!
Jon was so cute and handsome, I fully understand George *_*
Wow...not only is he hot, but he's also such an interesting person! No wonder Boy George and he fell for each other. Both of them are just so interesting.
yah
y e s
oh yessssss

I miss the sincerity of the 80s.
How many interviews jon moss did without culture club?
Jon was generally forbidden to do interviews alone...
BG did talk about the third album and felt like it wasn’t as good as the first two.
OMG he so handsome here
Jon was the sexiest man in music in the 80's...and he still looks great now. Who can blame George for falling in love with him? =)
I don't blame George for falling in love with Jon moss I really don't
I had no idea that Jon Moss had so much experience, before Culture Club.
This is the first time, I have seen and heard, Jon Moss speak so much.
I absolutely loved this interview and forgot how handsome Jon was ❤
Really smart person
I just love Jon Moss! he's amazing... great guy. and he had a good influence on George when they were together, I think!
OMG, that Jon Moss was Beyond Gorgeous! A very articulate, charismatic and intelligent gentleman. I've always heard that he's a Genuinely very nice Guy. His Son is handsome but nothing like Jon was.
George and Jon were an incredible couple and it’s a shame they couldn’t share their strength, support and dynamism with the world at the time.
What a handsomeeeeeeeeee man!! then and now he is absolutely adorable.
What a beautiful boy.
Culture club was composed of solid and clever kids, it is sad they ended up as they did
This was one of the most candid interviews I have ever seen of Jon Moss. He is very well spoken.
Wow. Culture Club were my favorite band as a teenager, and I am proud of my choice as an adult. What an incredible diversity of huge talents. They were/are one of a kind.
Jon Moss was a very handsome man. He is still cute to this day. He seems very witty and intelligent. I love him. Cool guy. I've always had a crush on him.
A very intelligent gentleman. Not to mention a crafted drummer.
Jon and George are lucky that their paths had crossed. Brilliant interview, ty for posting.
I was very young when CC was at the height of their fame so I didn't know of Jon Moss until recently when I watched an old CC video. My heart literally skipped when I saw him & I had to find out who he is. He has to be one of the most beautifullest men I have ever seen.

@@GARose-kt4jcDid he say why B George kicked him out? John does seem like a very nice man.
This is a fantastic interview! I didn't know it even existed and stumbled upon it by accident, and am so glad that I did. Wonderful and intellegent interview. Jon should have done more interviews instead of all of them being done by George, then perhaps the press wouldn't have had such a "Boy George over-load" , which eventually hurt the band.
Damn he is a doll :)
Can you see how young is Jon and how deep his musical knowledge is? Absolutely stunning . and he is ineed a doll
Jon is gorgeous.
He was with the Clash! Even post Mick Jones? Heavey
I am very impressed by the quality, friendliness and interesting stories, all expressed and experienced by Jon Moss, I loved this interview!
George adored this handsome man...
He punishes him to cover up the hurt and demise of there lost love...
Cuts deep😢
This is a really good interview. Jon seems so down to earth and genuine. I see this in George in his younger years. I believe they were in love. Neither one used the other.

Este hombre era guapísimo, me encantaba, bueno me sigue encantando
No wonder George fell sooooooooo in love with him...
I like Jon Moss, he was a cool guy and a great part of Culture Club.
Too much is put on his private life with George and it's no-ones business what fallouts they had, they made sublime music together.
Culture Club were brilliant, I can't wait for the new 20012 album.....it's going to be brilliant.
I think he looks a bit like Morten Harkett of (A-HA), and Marian Gold (Alphaville)
Yeeeah
After less than a year, WUWTHOF sold 7 million copies and it was considered a failure... Nowadays, if you sell 120 thousand, you're considered a star.... How things change...
I love the way he speaks.I understood everything =)
swoon. still in love with Jon xxx
Very charming!
Fuck man john played with almost every kick ass punk band from England during that time before culture club!!! The Clash, The Dammed, Adam and The Ants??!!!
really good to see this interview.

I used to have that interview on video cassette, recorded it from the TV.... so nice to see it here again after so many years
I
HE IS AMAZING ..
I'm glad the interviewer sticks up for Waking Up because it is Culture Club's best record overall.
I am glad the interviewer stuck up for Waking Up With The House On Fire as well.

he was my eye candy when i was in senior high
Yes and I've got bad news for the Jon Moss haters. His son wants to play the drums too! So there's a Jon Moss mini-me out there! Sort of like Madonna and Lourdes. How cute and adorable is that!
Terrific interview. Both Jon and George were very intelligent and articulate. Perhaps one of the smartest bands in Rock and Roll.
i love jon moss!!!!!!xxxxx

And Union of the Snake! It was a great album.
Just because it was successful doesn't mean it was great.
The fact Jon was straigt again wasn't helping George. There was a lot of blame to go around. I liked some of the interview, shedding g light on the beginning of the band and Jon's influence of it.
It cause George looked so much like a girl 😂
John Moss was a great Punk Drummer London was a good band
I am listening now 2018！
Great interview!!
Isn't Boy G a Buddhist like Tina Turner?
Es judio por eso es muy educado y inteligente
Tony Curtis , Alain Delon, James Dean and Rock Hudsons’ features mixed in one face.
very, very interesting interview. culture club's third album is great. so is Seven and The Ragged Tiger......retrospect is strange
There will always be a wide range of tastes :)
Yes a wide range of taste and too many opinions.
Boy is Christian, Roy is Catholic, Jhon is Jew(ish) and Mikey is Black... really? What the Fuck.
@gabsylv Also, George's first relationship wasn't with Jon. He was with Kirk Brandon before Jon. Why don't people blame Kurt instead of Jon, since Kirk denies they ever had a relationship to this day?
So Cute!

damn how gorgeous is he??and so freaking sweet wow you missed out george too bad it didnt work out
Great interview!!
I Think Jon wasn't telling the whole story. Jon played a part!.
About what?
Third album is my favourite album.
Be in love
i think the fact that john is Jewish was exactly why they were so popular in Tel Aviv.
nice and good speaker, great English! Intelligent person:)
handsome♥♥♥
He was cute, but that third album was beyond terrible, and effectively meant the end of the band. They never got over it.
He was so cute! 🤗
I love them to be together. They were so in love back in the day. But Jon have wife now with 3 kids so there's no way they would get together ever again. Haiz :-
brooke shields brother kinda look alike
what's with the low voice in 0:10?? LOL!
great interview though.

Jewish and he had an affair with Boy George??....
he was so handsome
yeah! i born in 1998 and i remember when i was like 10 or 11 y/o and i had a BIG crush on him 😭 when my parents put the music videos of culture club in the tv
First time I managed to understand him, nice and slow
Handsome
He's fucking GORGEOUS!!💎🔝
You're kidding me right??? Seven is a great album. Cracks in the pavement is an awesome tune.
TEM DE TRADUZIR O VIDEO. TRADUZIR.
it is good heart the true from him.
those lips.. those double eyelids.. and the wit.. arghh!!
Nadie como boy George!!! El es precioso y nadie le llega ni le llegará 💞💗😘🥰😍❤️💕💋💓
I just saw culture club this August. First time ever seeing them. I never thought I would see them all together. Many more on the stage now.
Was it August , 2018? If so, you them as the "original" group for the LAST time ever! They will NEVER be a foursome again.🙁🙁🙁
❤ George 💞💋😘 💔😭 guy 😂 broke up 😭😭😞❤😂 joe .
Yes he did look like Tony Curtis
Must be nice to be good looking.
you taking about my brother I'm his sister mom said
I used to have a big crush on him in my teen years.
Very nice interview. :)
