    Loved these guys since early Squeeze days.. I feel they can’t do wrong. Definitely the best music of my lifetime.

      Agreed! There are some less that amazing songs, but even those aren’t BAD songs. The sounds Chris makes, with the sounds Glenn makes, it’s fucking MAGIC. There’s something so special there.

    Ive been lucky to have seen them twice. Once in 1979. I couldn't believe my ears.

    National Treasure. Absolutely elated to have enjoyed them at Reading Festival 1988. Big love and respect, many thanks Glenn, Chris and band(s).

    Squeeze, the Alarm, the Proclaimers. The 80’s produced some awesome but best live bands I’ve ever seen. Would honestly blow the greats away effortlessly. Love these two though; something very very special.

    Music and lyrics of Squeeze is really the "tops" for me of the 80s. So many bands really were great and the energy was wonderful so I feel blessed to be in my 20s and in the midst of it all. Such a great mix of styles, serious, playful, and just fun music all over! We won't get there until the culture changes again, so that music was a product of the times, whether you like it or not, but I believe it was incredibly great music! I loved that Squeeze had much creativity coming from all the musicians and such good talent.

    Hands down in my top 5 all time favorite bands. I’m 42, and was lucky enough to have a dad that introduced me to them at a young age. I was lucky enough to see them in 2015 in Chicago. They’re incredible. I don’t get starstruck, but I’d have a hard time not fanboying HARD with these two.

    6:13 mark Glenn says when they met that Chris was "STREETS AHEAD"...?!
    Who knew Chevy Chase would be be the critical link between Steely Dan, Squeeze, and "Community"?

    They've written some songs that you could call "classics." Quite a talented duo, Lennon & Macca not quite but possibly the best of any of the bands that rose in the 80s.

  • @lamper2

    What songs had Chris already written when he met Glenn? I guess this question is for super fans . also, at 9:10 to 9:30 I notice Glenn's right hand fingers twitching. why? he even grabs it at 9:30 i noticed because i have nerve damage in my hands

    Hi Tom. Just writing to ask if you would be OK if I used a few short quotes from this interview in a book I am hoping to self-publish, about Squeeze? The quotes would be fully credited to yourself and I'd put the link to your channel in the bibliography. Many thanks, James (UK)

      sleaford mods. And I'm not familiar with them but just heard Glenn say enough for me to search in a music app. I'm checking their music out now and found they're coming to Boston in May.
