I was a stage hand in the US. Worked the Rod Stewart show. After the show, we were breaking things down. The shop stewart told us to stop what we were doing and line up in the hallway by the dressing room. Something like this had never happened before. So we were all standing there, wondering what was going on, and Rod Stewart came out of the dressing room. He shook the hand of every stage hand and personally thanked each of us for helping to put on the show. Got to his limo and turned around and gave us all a big wave and another "thanks!' . I worked a lot of shows and he is the only celebrity who gave any recognition to the local crew. And the people who traveled with his show were mostly friends he knew before he was famous, they spent most of the show under the stage, drinking Guiness out of a can. So they got to tour the USA and got paid for it. Thank you, Rod Stewart for being a good human being.
@@richard21995 you don't think maybe they on top level of salaire ... I do I don't think he a prick that doesn't pay wages .. There are worse jobs in life Juste my thoughts
So The BBC banned an interview with Rod Stewart, they banned a song he wrote and they banned him from singing another song (Grace) but they had no problem with Jimmy Saville and other sicko’s? Like wtf? 🤦♂️
I didn't know they banned him from singing Grace??? Jesus christ if they actually listened to the songs words.. Its a love song not a republican song!!!
"It was all about the 70's" They got that right. People boo hoo us older folks when we talk about the 70's and the music, but really, it was THE BEST. Super interview!
@@chalktalkwithshari4173 The BeeGees had three of the top twenty songs of the 1970s, with Andy Gibb getting two more, for five of the top 20 songs. Disco absolutely represents the 1970s, and no group represents disco more than the Village People. I grew up in the 1970s, and I can tell you I never heard Heart on my local radio station, which was inflicted on me on the school bus to and from school. I can remember to this day the two songs I liked that I heard on the school bus, ONCE each, that I didn't discover again until years later, but looking them up just now, they weren't released until 1980, so they don't count, either.
As a Black man of 70s youth and music, I respect how Rod Stewart came forth and performed and respected Black culture stars. This done at a time when In America, most Whites had Rock and Most Blacks had Soul. Thank you Rod. Respect 🎉
@kingdoc3262 If you listen to singers like Joe Cocker, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Cream, Amy Winehouse, Jaimiroquai, Led Zeppelin, Adele or Bowie's Young Americans phase (to name a few examples) , you'll notice the strong African-American influence on United Kingdom. Even hip hop, for example, had a strong impact on Electronic music and Rock. Just listen to artists like Gorillaz, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy, who have collaborated a lot with people like Q-Tip, Kool Keith (from Ultramagnegic MC's) or Del Tha Funky Homosapien.
@kingdoc3262 Yeah a lot were stealing.They say that ' they made it better' though.Zeppelin would settle out of court.And be forced to backdate royalties to their chagrin.
I was a huge Rod fan and at all concert in 1981, my husband caught a soccer ball from Rod. In 1983, I carried the ball to the hotel where the band was staying, and his lead guitarist, when I met at the bar, set it up for him to sign the ball for me. He came out with Kelly Emberg, walked over to me and took the ball, and signed it for me. I was so excited but in shock!! Great memory!!
the tonight I'm yours tour was one of my first concert, no opening act, over 2 hrs, played all the classics, 5 grams blonde Lebanese hashish, I was 16 yrs old, one if not the best live show of my life!
The reason for aging rock stars, it’s not only because they are formidable talent, it’s the scarcity of such talent over recent decades to replace them.
and people are getting and feeling younger. Next May,I enter my 8th decade and still feel great.Going on an 8 mile Country walk tomorrow and never lived or been out with a Woman over 45 years old.
The only older singer from the uk who can still sing is Tom Jones Stewart sounds awful. As for the other one he was never a great singer more a comedy act
Love them both also I was at boy George the last time he played in the 3 arena Dublin.. he was brilliant..love rod in concert too.. hope they come to Ireland 🇮🇪

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.

George had it right, the 70s was just incredible time for a revolution in music. Moving from Motown in the 60's, to Heavy Rock, Metal, Punk, New Wave, Glam Rock...... Amazing. I was very fortunate to experience that time with seeing the Pistols, Rod, and actually later in life, Culture Club. Cool interview. Would love to hear them sing Georgie Boy.

Could you explain how Rod Stewart opened up doors for other artists? I’m not disagreeing, I’m just trying to understand. Interestingly enough, my mother liked his voice, and if she were alive today she would be 100. I loved Boy George, he is my generation, so I get his influence. Thank you.
Love them both, but am concerned about George's teeth. Looks like he had dental work, & he doesn't speak the same. Sort of has a lisp. And he didn't before. But I do love him.

Great interview! 👍 Can't wait to see them sing the hauntingly beautiful 'The killing of George' together. Especially now knowing how special it is for Boy George. We always knew how personal it was for Sir Rod. ❤
Legacy act is often used in the media as a term of derision yet I don’t think there is any shame in being an artist or band still able to sell out arena tours based on a string of albums and hits you made 40 years or more ago. It means that music became part of a collective consciousness at the time and still brings joy to even new generations of fans today who want to see the original artists performing live.
Life long Rod Stewart fan. Wonderful friends surprised me with tickets to see him live September 2022 here in Tampa, Fl, and it was one of the BEST highlights of my entire life! Honestly! Fantastic concert!❤
Oh yes. The music today sucks so bad. There will never be music like the 70s, 80s, and 90s ever again. The age of the bands, were you could here every instrument actually being played, and not computerized instruments. Greatest days ever!
From South Africa, wanted to say thanks to these great guys for all the music over the years. Both so talented and absolute showman, fantastic. Great interview as well. Johan Marais Johannesburg South Africa
What a great interview! So relaxed and natural All 3 showed honest respect and appreciation for each other Charlie is the perfect interviewer bringing out the best in Rod and George Only one criticism The interview was way too short More please 🙏🏻
I saw the live interview with both Rod & George on the bbc. They were getting on so well a few words not suitable for daytime TV fell in to the conversation. I thought it was hilarious. We need more sedated anarchy every now & again!
We took Boy George under our wing back in the 80's. He put out some great hits and nobody was forced to profess their never ending love for gays. Its about class not color or gender.
Yeah. Not everyone did. He faced a lot of boycotts and threats. Also, most people just looked at it as another crazy celebrity. Part of his act and would NOT have welcomed George and his partner into their home. And nobody wants you to profess your "never ending love for gays." Interesting that you liking Boy George music didn't turn you gay. I mean. That's the theory right? If you watch someone in drag or listen to their music you are going to be gay!
Sailing was one of my Dad's favourite songs and for many years after he passed I could not listen to it, but it was on the radio the other day and I found myself singing like my Dad did with such lovely memories and Culture Club from the start, loved them, loved George. The two together, wow. In music you can be years apart and contemporaries all at the same time, talent welcomes talent. Good luck guys.
I’m 70 year old grandmother and came across the ‘Ark Royal’ version of ‘Sailing’ recently on RUclips and it filled me with so much emotion. I don’t know what these two think of that situation, a warship or whatever , I’m a Brit living in Australia for the last 40+ years but it overwhelmed me to tears. Such brilliant nostalgic memories of the 70’s and 80’s with Rod and Boy George so flamboyant and engaging. Great times . 🙏🏼❤️🔥
@@ohdannyboythepipes4962 Maybe it's because it seems more hopeful to say "passed" to the other side of the veil and less final. Or possibly a gentle reference to heaven. You know, that bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Memorial Day weekend l watched the first 2 hours of MTV from when MTV made its debut . Sailing came on, and l sobbed . I had totally forgotten about that song .
@@MoiAussie1I am ex RAN and I have two copies of the HMS Ark Royal LP it was a great favourite in the Gunroom back in the late 70s. The crew singing it just took it to the next level. My father wanted the Ark Royal version of You’ll Never Walk Alone played at his funeral. He was a 39er in WWII and to hear the Ship’s crew singing that song pretty much broke even the most stoic of us.
Two of the most incredible song writers and performers I’ve ever heard man Rod Stewart is in a league of his own man he truly is he spends so many different decades it’s absolutely insane and when I say that I mean he hit top 10 songs if not number ones
I’m constantly amazed at how people still believe that .. when in reality there was no handcuffs no basement. Makes for interesting story though.... I guess it’s true people really do believe tabloid headlines instead of actually researching it themselves.... meanwhile the truth & court documents are all public...l

THANK YOU THIS INTERVIEW! REALLY FUN AND INTERESTING TO HEAR FROM TWO EXTREMELY TALENTED, SUCCESSFUL MUSIC ARTISTS WHO PARTICPATED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE 1970'S. I am a 70's kid and it was a very different time. A LOT of great music came out of the 1970's--STILL MY FAVORITE DECADE OF MUSIC! Nice to see Boy George again . . . My husband and I just saw Rod Stewart in Las Vegas in May. His show was AWESOME! SO MUCH ENERGY! He shared the stage with EVERYONE else on stage . . . He gave them each a nice chance to show off their talents. It was so great to see that he is not arrogant and just about himself, his talent, his music, etc. He seems so THANKFUL, GIVING, AND SO DOWN TO EARTH . . . A REALLY GREAT GUY TRULY! I LOVE HIS WARDROBE AND HIS SHOES--CLASSY FUN STYLE!
Great interview, seventies were the best for sure. I used to work with someone that was a big Rod Stewart fan and I didn't feel the same way, however, she convinced me to go and see him live with her. She bought the tickets and I didn't regret it, it was an amazing evening and became a fan after that concert. I also saw Tina Turner in concert, another amazing musical experience/
Really awesome to see Rod Stewart and Boy George❤❤ I did not miss a Rod Stewart concert at The Montreal Forum! Every Concert Was Sensational!!! I have every Rod Stewart album and CD and there are very few songs if any, I do not know every lyric. Rod Stewart was a Huge part of my life , Thank you Rod Stewart with Love from Montreal Canada Greatest Memories!!! ❤❤❤ And Boy George! I never got the chance to see you, but you too were loved!!! I absolutely never missed a dance when your songs played! None of us did!!! ❤❤❤
........and he has a lovely down- to- earth- supportive wife who has kept his head in the right place and his feet on the ground" Thanks so much to Penny and ALL the great work you do for The Met.
I met Rod at the Shrine Auditorium, standing behind the stage waiting to go on with Jeff Beck and we had a nice chat .I told him about Beck being late to the T.V. show while the rest of the band zoomed by us outside crammed into a little Nash Rambler with their equipment and feet up against the windows .This was the Yardbirds and I stood with my hands on the stage. Rod blew us away with these bee hive mink things on his shoulders and Beck playing a Les Paul at the time. Beck had this big turquoise bracelet on that I'd seen him wear recently before he passed . God bless him and Rod and Keith Relf . When Rod and the Jeff beck group played the Shrine Ronnie Wood played bass. What a show !
Love these 2 together. Wish they were touring together in the US. But I do already have my tickets for Culture Club, Howard Jones, and Berlin. That will be a fabulous show!
Completely charming. From 82 - 84, Culture Club put out hit after hit in very quick succession. In America, they were the first band since the Beatles to have 3 top 10 hits from a debut album. A record that stood for 20 years!
Wow, l actually lived long enough to see and hear these 2 beautiful musical geniuses over many years. They have brought so many happy memories to my life. I love them both.❤ 🐨😘🦘
Rod..... Use to play football In North London . Most of the players are long gone or not as well /fit as Rod. One of them had a serious illness and Rod heard about it . They had not talked in years . Rod took the matter up himself and the guy was put into a top private hospital and world class consultants/surgeons saved the guys legs (I believe ) . The Jokes about him been "Tight fisted" are so untrue. The guy is well know for donating money to little charities etc
he used his own money to resurface the road near his house in Sheering lower road , visited a lady in care home where my wife works when the lady was 100
So many fond memories came flooding back when I saw this interview. Two major music icons in the same room! Thank you so much for having them both on for this interview. When I think of who I'd like to meet and just say hello and thank you for so many memories, it would be these two awesome gentlemen! The fabric of so many of our lives for sure!
The love I have for Sir Rod Stewart is immense…I have been to many shows and always had the biggest crush on him!! His music and talent has gotten me through and brings me so many memories..of times in my life!! 💗
Rod will go down as an enormous talent who never once took himself seriously. Gotta love him for that bc he likely had the most natural rock voice ever!
Boy George is one of those singers whose voice has aged like fine wine 🍷 It has such a beautiful husky depth to it. Warm up act? I dont think so, no-one leaves Boy george in the corner! 😊
What a truly lovely interview! I never knew these two had met tbh. They seem a really odd couple & the most unlikely friends & its heartwarming seeing them hanging out together for this interview being such really good close mates 😊
The crowd singing Grace at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on the day Celtic clinched the treble was phenomenal. Rod thanked the crowd "For one of the best nights of my life!"
My mother took me to a Rod Stewart concert here in Sweden around the year 1985 or 86 when I was 11 or 12 years old. I was totally hookt after that. Listened to a cassette tape with Rod's greatest hits every waking hours when I was at home or on my walk man freestyle at school. I think I drove my mom a bit mad. And I remember dancing and singing in the school yard loudly and proudly :"If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on, sugar, tell me so".... The grown-ups smiled a bit embraced and wondered if I knew what I actually sang.....and yes...yes I certainly did! 😂😂😂

Rod steward. I never thought that I would see him live in concert, but that was my dream came true It was the best concert ever.
Bring back the real musicians !!! So glad to see you guys ❤
Those who write music / play instruments etc are musicians.
When only vocal that's called singers .
Rod Stewart is a legend, pure legend
Leg-end
He’s a shitty jab pusher. He’s finished 👍🏻
BG is a pretty cool dude too. :)
Bell end pure Bell end
@@jkjsa1 I just detest this chummy-bummy mutual admiration shite.
Boy George is such a tremendous talent. As recognized as he is, I still think it’s underrated.
Same. His voice is amazing and he is so unique 💫💫very handsome too.
Yes he is but whats with the f.......king HATS´?
He was huge in the 80's here in the UK and in America .😘
and he looks amazing for 61. Hopefully not too many drugs along the way!!
Great voice.
The late 60's to mid 80's was the BEST music in history. Most "music" today is shit and isn't music.
You’re just old.
TRUE!
Legacy act is often used in the media as a term of derision yet I don’t think there is any shame in being an artist or band still able to sell out arena tours based on a string of albums and hits you made 40 years or more ago. It means that music became part of a collective consciousness at the time and still brings joy to even new generations of fans today who want to see the original artists performing live.
90's was top too
It warms my heart to know that Boy George survived it all
Yes. Was not looking good for him many years back, but look at him now. What a gem.
Survived what ?
@@krankin135 being himself.
Me to 😊 awsome singers both of them , ❤
Amen!!.
We've lost so many amazing talents, unfortunately.
Life long Rod Stewart fan. Wonderful friends surprised me with tickets to see him live September 2022 here in Tampa, Fl, and it was one of the BEST highlights of my entire life! Honestly! Fantastic concert!❤
your standards are low hurry up and get your do to john tickets in sure his race is almost run
@@anthonymitchell8893 now, now anthonymitchell8893, be nice or I'll talk to your Mum.
We've had enough Sinatra, Rod. Please don't do more albums of it, just get back too rocking again.
@@seltaeb3302 That's funny, because he could sing the dictionary to me and I'd be happy!😂 Love his voice❤
@@gsand07me too ❤
Boy George looks gorgeous & Rod Stewart is amazing amazingly beautiful too! Yes I was a 70’s girl ☝️
Yes I agree ❤
Me too. Love Boy George and Rod is a top bloke.
2 legends from different times.
Leg-ends … 😾
80's had some really great music and talented artists!! Rod is a legend
Actually, Rod Stewart’s best work was in the early 70s.
Oh yes. The music today sucks so bad. There will never be music like the 70s, 80s, and 90s ever again. The age of the bands, were you could here every instrument actually being played, and not computerized instruments. Greatest days ever!
Two Legendary rockers, who are timeless. Much respect and love 🫶
I’m a 70 year old rocker. I get it and am a die hard rocker . Thank you so much for your response. Respectfully and much Love 💖
I love seeing gay blokes and straight blokes being matey.Just being themselves.Two legends.
😂
I could care less either way
A giant of music right there Rob and Boy a great stylist.
Ok, each to their own
Phyllis (Rod) and Sharon (Elton) were funny together.
Two great legends together Brilliant interview ❤
Yes, Charlie Stayt is quite remarkable. Who are the other two chummy-bums? They seem to know each other …
Thanks for uploading... beautiful to see these two together
I’m so sorry you lost your mother. God bless you both. Thank you, Mr. Stewart for writing the song and helping so many man to come out.
From South Africa, wanted to say thanks to these great guys for all the music over the years. Both so talented and absolute showman, fantastic. Great interview as well. Johan Marais Johannesburg South Africa
What a great interview!
So relaxed and natural
All 3 showed honest respect and appreciation for each other
Charlie is the perfect interviewer bringing out the best in Rod and George
Only one criticism
The interview was way too short
More please 🙏🏻
It was heavily edited and it showed. Need to show all of it.
Agreed. Good interviewer, good interview.
I saw the live interview with both Rod & George on the bbc. They were getting on so well a few words not suitable for daytime TV fell in to the conversation. I thought it was hilarious. We need more sedated anarchy every now & again!
@@softshallow7435 This isn't a BBC YT channel. This channel has just scraped the content. iPlayer has the full interview if you want to see it.
@@rsmith7912 Anarchy, yes! Sedation, NO!
We took Boy George under our wing back in the 80's. He put out some great hits and nobody was forced to profess their never ending love for gays. Its about class not color or gender.
“Back in the 80’s”. Yes everything was so much better in the 80s wasn’t it 😂. Just in case you hadn’t noticed the 80s ended 12 YEARS AGO!
Yeah. Not everyone did. He faced a lot of boycotts and threats. Also, most people just looked at it as another crazy celebrity. Part of his act and would NOT have welcomed George and his partner into their home. And nobody wants you to profess your "never ending love for gays." Interesting that you liking Boy George music didn't turn you gay. I mean. That's the theory right? If you watch someone in drag or listen to their music you are going to be gay!
@@DCGuy1997
No.
Why are you making things up? You obviously were not in the UK in the 80's. It very much was about class, colour and sexuality.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter
Not in the USA. We were united. Never see Whitney Houston sing our anthem? We were united.
A great interview with two legends. They are looking and sounding great❤❤
I would love to hear them do Handbags And Gladrags. Love that song.
So sorry to hear about George's mother passing away😢. I know he adored her.
Goddamit... I really luv these two geniuses!!!
Too many good memories from the epic music they gifted us with.
How Rod is treating George is amazing. He isn’t going to let him be the warm up. He clearly has some great ideas.
Sailing was one of my Dad's favourite songs and for many years after he passed I could not listen to it, but it was on the radio the other day and I found myself singing like my Dad did with such lovely memories and Culture Club from the start, loved them, loved George. The two together, wow. In music you can be years apart and contemporaries all at the same time, talent welcomes talent. Good luck guys.
Your dad had great taste. My favorite too. Beautiful song.
I’m 70 year old grandmother and came across the ‘Ark Royal’ version of ‘Sailing’ recently on RUclips and it filled me with so much emotion. I don’t know what these two think of that situation, a warship or whatever , I’m a Brit living in Australia for the last 40+ years but it overwhelmed me to tears. Such brilliant nostalgic memories of the 70’s and 80’s with Rod and Boy George so flamboyant and engaging. Great times . 🙏🏼❤️🔥
@@ohdannyboythepipes4962 Maybe it's because it seems more hopeful to say "passed" to the other side of the veil and less final. Or possibly a gentle reference to heaven. You know, that bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Memorial Day weekend l watched the first 2 hours of MTV from when MTV made its debut . Sailing came on, and l sobbed . I had totally forgotten about that song .
@@MoiAussie1I am ex RAN and I have two copies of the HMS Ark Royal LP it was a great favourite in the Gunroom back in the late 70s. The crew singing it just took it to the next level. My father wanted the Ark Royal version of You’ll Never Walk Alone played at his funeral. He was a 39er in WWII and to hear the Ship’s crew singing that song pretty much broke even the most stoic of us.
Two of the most incredible song writers and performers I’ve ever heard man Rod Stewart is in a league of his own man he truly is he spends so many different decades it’s absolutely insane and when I say that I mean he hit top 10 songs if not number ones
Man, I can't believe how great Rod Stewart looks...like he hasn't aged a day! Love both these men.
check your glasses
@@russelblackwell6041 diddos
@@russelblackwell6041 Rods close to 80s. He's doing damned good.....
@@russelblackwell6041 Looks better than you I bet!
Botox.
This is a smart combination two briliant singers I'm already considering going to see them live
2 Legends, very different and great music
While Rod is talking, George is sitting there wondering what Rod would look like......... chained to his bedroom wall.🤣
I’m constantly amazed at how people still believe that .. when in reality there was no handcuffs no basement. Makes for interesting story though.... I guess it’s true people really do believe tabloid headlines instead of actually researching it themselves.... meanwhile the truth & court documents are all public...l
Rod was my favourite singer for... ages... so many memories ! Two concerts in Paris.
The 70s truly was the greatest decade for music , such variety of sound and songs 🎵
Good interview 👍
I am with you
London city in the 70s, Empire the Strand ect...Discos no phones, get dressed and just have a great time
I am an ESSEX girl now living in IRELAND SENDING you love and STRENGTH from IRELAND 🙋🎻🎻🐶
@@rocky7173 hi, I a Brightonian, living in Spain, I was a child growing up in the 70s, I went through the skinhead music scene, SKA, Raggae, but I love also sorts of music from punk, oi , to Roxy music, pink floyd to old pop and new wave .
The 70s gave us so much.
It was a time to be anything you wanted, much as changed.
All the best from Malaga Spain
i have to say the 90's because you could still listen to 70 music and also the 80 and 90

Not the same as living through it.

😔
Big hugs, you beautiful soul ❤️
THANK YOU THIS INTERVIEW! REALLY FUN AND INTERESTING TO HEAR FROM TWO EXTREMELY TALENTED, SUCCESSFUL MUSIC ARTISTS WHO PARTICPATED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE 1970'S. I am a 70's kid and it was a very different time. A LOT of great music came out of the 1970's--STILL MY FAVORITE DECADE OF MUSIC! Nice to see Boy George again . . . My husband and I just saw Rod Stewart in Las Vegas in May. His show was AWESOME! SO MUCH ENERGY! He shared the stage with EVERYONE else on stage . . . He gave them each a nice chance to show off their talents. It was so great to see that he is not arrogant and just about himself, his talent, his music, etc. He seems so THANKFUL, GIVING, AND SO DOWN TO EARTH . . . A REALLY GREAT GUY TRULY! I LOVE HIS WARDROBE AND HIS SHOES--CLASSY FUN STYLE!
My heart goes out to anyone who loses their Mum.
❤
Love them both!!! Thanks guys for the music 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Rod is the best...and his standards music brought alot of joy to my family ❤
A really great interview
Great interview, seventies were the best for sure. I used to work with someone that was a big Rod Stewart fan and I didn't feel the same way, however, she convinced me to go and see him live with her. She bought the tickets and I didn't regret it, it was an amazing evening and became a fan after that concert. I also saw Tina Turner in concert, another amazing musical experience/
Really awesome to see Rod Stewart and Boy George❤❤ I did not miss a Rod Stewart concert at The Montreal Forum! Every Concert Was Sensational!!! I have every Rod Stewart album and CD and there are very few songs if any, I do not know every lyric. Rod Stewart was a Huge part of my life , Thank you Rod Stewart with Love from Montreal Canada Greatest Memories!!! ❤❤❤ And Boy George! I never got the chance to see you, but you too were loved!!! I absolutely never missed a dance when your songs played! None of us did!!! ❤❤❤
When Rod came to Toronto, never missed a concert!♥️
Really enjoyed this , thanks for the upload two greats 🌟🌟🤗
Rod Stewart seems ageless when all these other singers are passing he just keeps on going and he looks great, I hope I look that good when I'm 78!
........and he has a lovely down- to- earth- supportive wife who has kept his head in the right place and his feet on the ground" Thanks so much to Penny and ALL the great work you do for The Met.
I met Rod at the Shrine Auditorium, standing behind the stage waiting to go on with Jeff Beck and we had a nice chat .I told him about Beck being late to the T.V. show while the rest of the band zoomed by us outside crammed into a little Nash Rambler with their equipment and feet up against the windows .This was the Yardbirds and I stood with my hands on the stage. Rod blew us away with these bee hive mink things on his shoulders and Beck playing a Les Paul at the time. Beck had this big turquoise bracelet on that I'd seen him wear recently before he passed . God bless him and Rod and Keith Relf . When Rod and the Jeff beck group played the Shrine Ronnie Wood played bass. What a show !
Love these 2 together. Wish they were touring together in the US. But I do already have my tickets for Culture Club, Howard Jones, and Berlin. That will be a fabulous show!
Completely charming. From 82 - 84, Culture Club put out hit after hit in very quick succession. In America, they were the first band since the Beatles to have 3 top 10 hits from a debut album. A record that stood for 20 years!
They had another 3 top 10 hits in the USA with their second album too 🤯
It seems hard to imagine that could happen 40 years ago.
Just love the pure freedom of age and experience, no establishment will ever dim the fabulous ability these two guys have held for decades.
Rod the mod, he’s still the coolest, a great singer
Sings the same old boring songs. People are suckers
Wow, l actually lived long enough to see and hear these 2 beautiful musical geniuses over many years. They have brought so many happy memories to my life. I love them both.❤
🐨😘🦘
I'm a great fan of both. Thanks for posting this interview.
Brilliant. Love 💕 so much. Best interview ever
I've been a punk since 1980 and I loved both of these brilliant men and every single one of their songs and I'm not gay ❤❤❤❤❤
Love it thanks for the video
This is one in a lifetime reunion of two great performers.
Can't wait to watch that super amazing tour
Two great artists and not above their station like most stars, wishing them all the best for the tour I will try and get some tickets
Rod..... Use to play football In North London . Most of the players are long gone or not as well /fit as Rod. One of them had a serious illness and Rod heard about it . They had not talked in years . Rod took the matter up himself and the guy was put into a top private hospital and world class consultants/surgeons saved the guys legs (I believe ) . The Jokes about him been "Tight fisted" are so untrue. The guy is well know for donating money to little charities etc
Rod was born in England hence the generosity?
he used his own money to resurface the road near his house in Sheering lower road , visited a lady in care home where my wife works when the lady was 100
I used to play with Rod. Went to the pub after the game. Never saw Rod ever buy someone. a drink. Did see him browed money £5 from his brother bobby.
@@glenearl9506 what pub ?

Wow, brilliant interview I never seen, 😁😁👍
Two great musicians and entertainers. Thanks for the terrific interview 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Two amazing hearts and musical Legends
So many fond memories came flooding back when I saw this interview. Two major music icons in the same room! Thank you so much for having them both on for this interview. When I think of who I'd like to meet and just say hello and thank you for so many memories, it would be these two awesome gentlemen! The fabric of so many of our lives for sure!
Love them,total legends. Boy george,could watch him forever.
The love I have for Sir Rod Stewart is immense…I have been to many shows and always had the biggest crush on him!! His music and talent has gotten me through and brings me so many memories..of times in my life!! 💗
summit Rod can be proud of Gen. Nice one luv. x
@RickSpringfield651Thanks so much Rick. I also love your music. You are one of the best in the business. Almost equal to Sir Rod, but not quite. ty
@RickSpringfield651you're welcome Rick. I'm from Karachi. and you?
@RickSpringfield651Ricky. I'm looking for Dan Lok. Have you seen him?
@RickSpringfield651no problem friend Rick. Anytime. Wondering Do you know Dan Lok? I would appreciate an introduction if possible.
Rod will go down as an enormous talent who never once took himself seriously. Gotta love him for that bc he likely had the most natural rock voice ever!
What a great interview ❤ loved your composure and respect for two talented guys well done you
Boy George is one of those singers whose voice has aged like fine wine 🍷 It has such a beautiful husky depth to it. Warm up act? I dont think so, no-one leaves Boy george in the corner! 😊
Much love 💕 thanks 🇬🇧
Yes
A bit like Sam Cook, I always thought.
@@Tusitala1967 ❤️👍
Thanks so very much for your love and support towards me beautiful fan…. Where are you from?
What a truly lovely interview! I never knew these two had met tbh. They seem a really odd couple & the most unlikely friends & its heartwarming seeing them hanging out together for this interview being such really good close mates 😊
Rod long stuck up for gays, way before all. those rainbow flags we see everywhere.
I loved this interview and they have so much respect for each other. Both legends and I love BG, such a beautiful voice always ❤️🎶❤️
@RickSpringfield651 🤣
Great artists, timeless music. Thank you for sharing
Love George and Rod, George strode through the eighties blasting "im here mofos!, check me out" and then I felt I wasnt alone
Two Icons of lifetime ❤
I just love rod Stewart he’s still the best there is,boy George is another legend ❤
I loved this interview. So much talent. Thank you 😊
Love Rob Stewart & Boy George! They are the greatest and oh so inspiring!
Lovely, great interview, such fun. Gotta love them ♥
Rod is looking good for 78 and Boy is just about to turn 62..
Hard to believe BG will be 62 doesn't even look 50, especially without make up his eyes shine and his skin glows.
Also Rod has the best hair I’ve ever seen on an aging senior man. His hair makes him look much younger too.
The crowd singing Grace at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on the day Celtic clinched the treble was phenomenal. Rod thanked the crowd "For one of the best nights of my life!"
Brilliant interview ❤️❤️❤️
1:50 I have ALWAYS wondered what Boy George thought about that song. Thank you so much for asking them about it and for sharing the interview.
❤❤❤
The killing of Georgie simply MUST be officially released by Rod and George. What a pairing for a legendary song 👍
My mother took me to a Rod Stewart concert here in Sweden around the year 1985 or 86 when I was 11 or 12 years old. I was totally hookt after that. Listened to a cassette tape with Rod's greatest hits every waking hours when I was at home or on my walk man freestyle at school. I think I drove my mom a bit mad. And I remember dancing and singing in the school yard loudly and proudly :"If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on, sugar, tell me so"....
The grown-ups smiled a bit embraced and wondered if I knew what I actually sang.....and yes...yes I certainly did! 😂😂😂
Can you sing Every Picture Tells A Story?
