Thank you! I must've been 10 with relatives nipping at my ear-wi gs" why do you have to wear black ALL THE TIME?? Why'd you dye yer hair black ??? What is this yer listening to i cant even understand it-!!!! Why spiderwebs on yereyes yer so pretty - " no. Im down. With some Candy flowin'. Thank you for saving me from American late 80's/early 90's " mall music", & pop & pink& happy things girls were supposed to be loving& doing!!! Blasphemous rumours& MASK & IGGS&ZIG& ALL BOWIE &VELVETS & PUNK, J&MC YOU WERE MY FIRST-of many happy to be sads !!!! - bb💙🎶💙
They matured and became more engaging over the years compared to when they were kids and didnt give a fuck what people thought. They were the shit then and nice to see them still playing. Love you guys.
#1 band to influence the band I was in when we started in 1991 and when we first started out we covered four of their songs.. haven’t missed a tour of theirs dating back to ‘89
I have loved this band since they spectacularly burst onto the British music scene back in the 80's with "Some Candy Talking" and i still love them nearly 30 years later still kicking ass with some awesome tracks and riffs. Thank you, TJ&MC, for a lifetime of outstanding music that i still listen to after all these years. Not bad for a band from East Kilbride, Scotland. The boys done well and influenced me and countless other bands around the world!! 🎸🎸🎵🎵
JAMC was my #1 obsession during the 1990's, and they are just as good now. I was living in a small town when I first heard them, and nobody seemed to know about them, and I was like, "Where the f*** have you been?" I felt special and privileged. "Come On" was the first JAMC song I heard. No matter what their songs are about, each and every JAMC song just makes you feel good, or at least that's what their songs do for me. I retired to acoustic fingerstyle solo guitar, but JAMC is still an influence on me and always will be.
Love the Mary chain honeys dead is my favorite album of all time I never get tired of hearing it. It’s nice to see Jim looking happy and talkative too. Love these guys so much
The Jesus and fucking Mary Chain. Absolute delight. Cannot wait for the new album whenever that may be. 26 year old fan from Texas. Missed you guys in Austin, but would love for you to visit again soon. Music is not the same these days.
Thank you so much for being a band, guys. I really don’t know what life would be like without you. You are my favourite band of all time and you changed my life. I’m not exaggerating one bit. You are objectively the best band in the world. Any chance you could come to The Roundhouse in London? It would mean a lot and I need this. I can’t go anywhere else. I’m sure loads of people would love to see you there.
The Reid brothers are legends I kind of stumbled across this but they really are a seminal band . They’ve been such an influence on guitar bands of the last thirty or so years . In my opinion it’s them and my bloody Valentine and the rest . Psychocandy , darklands , automatic , honeys dead , stoned and dethroned , munki what a fucking run . Legends .
saw then in Portugal in the 80's, 90's and in 2018? honestly, best gig for me was the most recent, talk about a wall of sound , i felt my teenage self all over again, minus the drugs :D
Still have my Honey's Dead cassette, one of only a handful of albums I can listen to beginning to end without wanting to skip a song. Its good to see JAMC still evolving (jazz).
Well written & said. 1985 - Psychocandy JAMC 1991 - 92: Psalm 69 Ministry Love both bands.

Paul Barker - who was in Ministry for their 5 big albums said that Al was too out of it to remember. Barker, whom I respect, said that honesty: " he had never heard off Psychocandy until Psalm 69 had well and truly taken off.

Barkers Honesty He broke down both albums and their use of " the wall of sound. " Ministry - we use loops and a guitar line is sampled 800 X. This is overplayed over 70's guitar lines. JAMC. - their use of guitar distortion and utilising their guitars as keyboards was truly amazing. Barker said he finally understood the accusations. To my and everyone else's surprise, Paul Barker admitted that Psychocandy was truly an amazing piece of work. Barker concluded by saying he would've loved to see Psychocandy being produced and mixed, as the ear of that producer would've been impeccable.
Vão fazer apenas 2 anos que descobri essa banda. Não acredito que passei tanto tempo sem ouvir essa maravilha. Infelizmente não são muito conhecidos no Brasil.
Nunca es tarde si la dicha es buena. Fantástica banda: Psychocandy, Darklands, Barbed Wire Kisses, Stoned and Dethroned, The Honey is Dead...Disfruta mucho
Jesus é underground por aqui msm, o público sempre foi bem seleto aqui em SP, conto nos dedos. É o som dos caras, os Velvets TB foram assim, não sei explicar, adoro essa banda.
This was my favorite band in the 90's. But these days, to be honest, I'm with Jim - I like jazz 🤷🎷 but as he stated, it took a long time to get into it
Nope. You're wrong. They're both great bands and they're both unique in their own way. You can't compare one to the other. Anyway, this comment is really quite childish.
The Reid Bros will always have a special place in this 60-year-old heart of mine
My favorite band since 1985!
I hear ya Bro!

'Everything is alright when you're down', can still lift me up 40 years later.
Jim's voice is kicking much ass than ever live. He aged just like fine wine really.❤
Definitely he has always been a really good looking guy. I think so at least lol
One of the best songwriting duos to ever exist.
Darklands, Automatic, Psycho Candy, Honeys Dead. What an albums.
They matured and became more engaging over the years compared to when they were kids and didnt give a fuck what people thought. They were the shit then and nice to see them still playing. Love you guys.
#1 band to influence the band I was in when we started in 1991 and when we first started out we covered four of their songs.. haven’t missed a tour of theirs dating back to ‘89
Love this band. Nice to see them still kicking!
Jim and William Reid. LIVING LEGENDS!!
William Reid inspired my playing, such an under rated Guitarist. Absolutely love TJAMC

nearly 40 years later my friend... we are getting old. At least we are still cool!
Thanks, Jim and William. You've always helped. I was 15 when Psychocandy came out.

God bless you Reeds !
for so many years of good stuff
Still the best.
Always liked this song. Doesn’t seem like the 90’s could be so long ago. They were just young men.
Thank you so much for being a band, guys. I really don’t know what life would be like without you. You are my favourite band of all time and you changed my life. I’m not exaggerating one bit. You are objectively the best band in the world.

thanks for those generous comments Lulu. If you prefer the Roundhouse that's where we'll go. Next year doing the new album.
@@jesusandmarychainofficial You kept your promise. I'll see you there as well in March 2024.
Utterly wonderful
The Reid brothers are legends
I kind of stumbled across this but they really are a seminal band . They’ve been such an influence on guitar bands of the last thirty or so years .

Psychocandy , darklands , automatic , honeys dead , stoned and dethroned , munki
what a fucking run .
Legends .
I hope they do one more tour in the US. Last show I saw them was opening for NIN.
They did some US shows recently I think? Or something coming up, I can’t remember
lol first time I saw them, NIN opened for them.
The best to ever do it!
Gracias from San Diego.

"I hate rock 'n' roll" was the first song I heard from you guys. Lot of good memories from then. Thank you so much.
Still rockin, love it, love this band forever ❤
No way,im more obsessed!!! He's gorgeous and sounding the same!!!
Que banda fabulosa. Tenho os vinis até hoje, e ainda os escuto. Hahahaha
Fantastic - what a rare and insightful treat! Sounding and looking great - would love to see more like this!!!

Still have my Honey's Dead cassette, one of only a handful of albums I can listen to beginning to end without wanting to skip a song. Its good to see JAMC still evolving (jazz).
Well written & said.
1985 - Psychocandy
JAMC
1991 - 92: Psalm 69

Love both bands.

my fave band of all time
Vão fazer apenas 2 anos que descobri essa banda. Não acredito que passei tanto tempo sem ouvir essa maravilha. Infelizmente não são muito conhecidos no Brasil.

Jesus é underground por aqui msm, o público sempre foi bem seleto aqui em SP, conto nos dedos.
É o som dos caras, os Velvets TB foram assim, não sei explicar, adoro essa banda.
São únicos
@@Joy_div Amo Brasil
What a fantastic band… still amazing!
Still sound as great as ever!!!
Amazing interview and performance!
How can you not love them!?
Wow, thanks for this.
amazing band.......................but together since my grandma was born.................................RESPECT-
Jesus ,desde sempre. ✌🌝🌎
Sounds great
sexiest voice ever, they look and sound timelessly brilliant
Best band in the know universe
This was my favorite band in the 90's. But these days, to be honest, I'm with Jim - I like jazz 🤷🎷 but as he stated, it took a long time to get into it
still the coolest...
This is fekkin amazing. Ahh, so good.
Brilliant
i love Chassol
WOW very cool
Toronto please🙏🙏🙏
They’re coming in October!
Que rápido pasa el tiempo, más en estos tiempos..😢
Every time i see william i just think of here comes Alice
Once you’ve heard one JAMC song, you’ve heard them both.
lol it just shows you know nothing about this band. Their sound changes drastically from album to album. It’s pretty obvious
Better to e thought a fool than to open your pie hole and prove that you are.
Much, this is a lot better than their "Joy Division is shit" interview. They were pretty funny interview trolls in their early days.
Sing xmas songs id still love the j+mc- oh Tannenbaum with feedback&crackly voices- come to me !!!! 💙🎶💙🦇💊💉🧷🤍🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍- J&MC FOREVER- bb
What were they thinking with Amputee
Offensive
still cool
I like how your voice is still the same Jim is Williams singing voice still the same lol
Jim Reid, absolutely love the fact you love Suicide yaaaaaaasssss.
In my life since Psychocandy.
Can we get your guitar rig run down? William.
What happen to the hair?
poser of the cure
The cure sucks
Other than they had similar haircuts in the 80s I see no further comparison haha
@@MrBooYa-yd5er a factually wrong and silly comment!
@@herbieshine1312 yup
Nope. You're wrong. They're both great bands and they're both unique in their own way. You can't compare one to the other.
