Simon and the boys need far more recognition. I followed them as a teenager and still do to this day.They are far more talented than most bands that get recognised.Simons writing block maybe happened for a reason. So he could produce this album.Truly amazing!

[@Juggernaut6990]

He's such an awesome guy. He's just a fan like all of us

[@michaelgodfrey7528]

It’s impossible not to smile when listening to Simon. Great interview.

[@oscarpuertas0]

Love this guy.

[@anthonyholroyd5359]

Pavarotti? Well Simon, from your back catalogue you definitely have the range.
As a singer who has spent the last few years trying to perfect a more 'rock' vocal style, having had a classical training.
Its all in the diaphragm! Get your diaphragmatic control down and the rest will follow! 🤣🤣

I love this man!

Simon's passion while talking about serious issues in our time has just majorly inspired me; a lot of his views are so relatable! The past two years have been an extremely formative and complex time in humankind; all the negative and all the positive meshed into one. It's going to take some time for things to look brighter for future generations but it is worth having the contemplation of what exactly we can do to help and make the future brighter, therefore making our current realities all the more glorious. On a personal level, I'm spending a lot of time thinking about what to do and I think it's time to be proactive. Create art & love each other amigos

[@davidwestonsmith1305]

Boring? Seriously?

[@bmart999]

You're not invited to my birthday party with that attitude.

[@Troll_the_Trolls]

Biffy and Boring is probably the worst take since Cavemen times.
