Great interview! You got to the DNA of a legendary rock star. The Beatles saw something only the Beatles could see. Joey Molland and Badfinger is a talent that pinnacles rock and roll.
I heard Badfinger at The Carolina Coliseum in 1971. Great band, great sound. Pete Ham was alive then, Terrible loss--the whole band was fabulous. It still remains the best concert I ever attended.
The older I get the more I love BADFINGER!! Great to hear this as when I was in college from 1970 to 1974 I played their music non stop! Keep making music Joey!
I love badfinger songs as a little boy every time I got in the car 🚗 to go with momma and Dad they were on the radio and Always made me want to play and sing.Miss those days and Miss the Family 💞
looks like mutual admiration Yanks, same as we in the States had for our British bands. And the British Invasion was a real thing....took us by storm. But before that, American R&B, rockabilly and the likes of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry & Elvis took hold of the Brit boys and a new sound was born. It was amazing!!! When Badfinger came out American radio played the hell out of them and we listeners couldn't get enough of them. They came along when Rock was already heavily evolving, cos at the same time we had coming up: Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After, Rolling Stones, The Moody Blues, Tommy James & the Shondelles, Blind Faith, Creedence, Blood Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, Sly, Janis, Hendrix, The Beatles and a ton of Motown bands embraced by ALL, unless in the deeply prejudiced Deep South. An explosion of Rock bands followed. ELO, Genesis, Traffic, Elton John....gosh there is no end. Badfinger's talent and potential was sadly cut short. Sad, sad outcome of a wicked business. It was such a tragedy no one was able to step in and set things right for them. Joey seemed to be the always light-hearted imp. He was exceedingly attractive, as well as talented. Even here he lets the flow go organically, doesn't feel the need to name drop and brag. He just let the conversation move, enjoying the process with an easygoing nature that seemed to be there from the beginning. That easy nature allowed him to survive. Many good healthy years wished to Joey!!
Great great interview, Love his stories. This was fun to watch. I got hooked on Badfinger when i was about 9 and got the Baby Blue single on Apple. Still one of my favorites today. I love the video on here at RUclips. Joey looks like he is having a ball doing the filming.
Badfinger was an amazing band. Their story is tragic. It's funny hearing Joey say that the British guys admired the yanks because the American guys admired the British.
Joe rocked hard + steady for decades. His best quality is modesty. Married a midwestern gal. Much too kool for the R+R HOF. An evil manager took them to Rip City. In LA they laid carpet to get by day after day, (please excuse the pun). Played @ nite. Thats just how they did. Pete was sorta introspective + very melodic. Mike Gibbons the drummer was the glue that held it together along with Tom the basist. All 4 wrote music + sang. Still knock'n down the OLD GREY WALL, always a part of it all!
That is NOT the Cavern the real one is buried underneath that small shopping arcade called Cavern Walks* the one open today is a replica* set up the same side of the street further along in fact 33 steps down the real one was 18 steps The :"Cavern": people visit now is a tourist gimmick and apart from a visit by Paul McCartney the Beatles never played there that Cavern is buried forever underground. Let it be.
As much as I like Joey, he was a bit part player, compared to Pete and Tommy. However he seems to rake in the 💷 from Pete and Tommy's songs. But I did like his last solo effort. Poppy and catchy. I don’t agree with his analysis about differences in 🇺🇸 fashion or 🎶 🇬🇧 either. For example after 1950s... 🇬🇧 was groundbreaking in music, art, lierature, bla de bla. It was way ahead in free thinking. Chelsea in London was fashion capital of Europe. I cite as an example ....looking at Beatles press conferences post 1964 onward. Americans dressed quite conservatively. I could carry on with Bowie in the 70s and the 80s new romanitic movement. Joey represents pensioner generation, in his selective memory processes. Thanks for the upload. 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧
