*JAMC were like an underground mix of Duran Duran and Culture Club*

i was at this show. got polluted drunk and helped chris break that beautiful hammond organ helping him load out. ( it was 90/10 me/him.) then tried stepping out of the van whilst moving through squirrel hill. forbes and murray area. yeah. good times. johnsons always did kill it. 'sup chris, terry, soy sos. keeping it real? i'd bet. 😃😀🙂😐😶🟡 this is christian btw.

I much prefer the sober Jim Reid. He's a very sweet man. Here he just sounds like an ego-maniac.

1984 nearly 40 years ago 😞😞

There is bacteria

Sad song x

I saw this when it first aired on Canadian television. I was 11 and it changed my life forever.

Lol what is that song they’re playing in the beginning it sounds nothing like them

Ed down is george costanza when he was young and living in the UK

His level of confidence inspires me.

Douglas is very funny snnnnnfff

1:31 mood. Total mood

Easily Best Indie Band Ever!!!

That dry Scottish humour is priceless. Andy Warhol filled with passive aggression.

Gay

Regardless of his personal taste regarding Joy Division, Jim actually made his point here for another reason - to the present day, lazy journalists and interviewers annoyingly continue to bring up Joy Division (or Sex Pistols for that matter) in order to compare others with them...

Pardon my language but what the actual FUCK is Bobby Gillespie doing to William Reid in this interview? 7:30?

I wonder when interviewers eventually realised that interviewing Jim was completely pointless. :D

"No, no, no, your your wrong actually, my guitar is totally out of tune, because my guitar is for kickin'."

Pretentious and unoriginal

Jim Reid taking the piss on JD and journalist actually dumb enough to fall for it. He had a Vox guitar in early days, direct link to Ian Curtis.

this feels like a bbc comedy

the quiet "oh god" from the interviewer never fails to crack me up

Joy Division was unambitious 😂 I dont see that at all, but hey JAMC are awesome so I'll let it slide

Gillespie never speaks on any of the JAMC videos

I remember hearing Just Like Honey back in 1985 and thought hey i could do that ,,,of course attitude and originality was where it was at , their acoustic demos back then proved that there were real melodies underneath all that feedback

That last part about Joy Division was spot on.

Which part of Scotland are they from?

Totally timeless.

Staged riot by a special gang travelling with the band.

I watched this PiL appearance on "American Bandstand" when it reaired on VH1 in the '90s ('90s teen here -- I was a baby when this was filmed) and about a week later I purchased Second Edition. Very, very effective appearance, this. Also, my strangest crush will always be the one I had on John Lydon as a high schooler.

Almost all of JAMC's early songs are based on the palette that Hendrix laid down with his songs "I Don't Live Today" and "Love or Confusion." Listen to those two songs in their entirety and you can't deny it.

4:14 is that Neil from Slowdive?

Damn, these guys are bleedin' priceless!

jesus fuck

Bobby ----> kiss,kiss,kiss. hahahahahahahahahahah

Going to make a remaster this video with effects

Cool....

staynobile, The Beach Boys were already The Beach Boys on acid.

lol he couldnt even make up a reason why joy division could be bad... its impressive how jim keeps a straight face when he says this shit tho

The irony is as much of their act as the squealing feedback and it's brilliant.

Back when Rock n" Roll was still rebellious and cool. For the last 14 years, so-called Rock music is now played by a bunch of un-original, metro-sexual, hipster pussies.

set of cunts! right up there with pol pot and mugabe if you ask me.

I loved punk and this was why. It ripped down the barriers and let the outsiders in. We literally see that here.

I think the irony is lost on most of you chaps.
