Colin Hay is a real forgotten talent. His live shows are great fun too as he has lots of fantastic and amusing stories from his life in music and out on the road.
Men at work were a fantastic unique band, they had great music and lyrics, and the inspiring and beautiful voice of Colin Hay. I wished, this band would have lasted longer, bands like this is what we need.
Saw men in 83. Awesome tight band.bought both albums.genius.colin is a genius.so unique.talk about backlash.never understood how that many fans can turn on a great band like men at work.every song a hit.ill never forget the night I saw the men. I took a lot of flack from idiots who just didn't get it,or were denying that loved the music.
That song at the end was fucking awesome! Jonesy, instead of doing a competition to win $500 why not have the chance to win a jam session with the right honourable Steve Jones Esquire?
indy 103 used to be the best radio in LA and Josey's jukebox was the best program on Indy 103. Every time I was in LA I would tune the rental car radio to 103. It's great that the jukebox has found a new home!
this dude played 3 months before he played with the pistols. OBVIOUSLY he was made to play guitar and music. What a great little ditty... made my hair stand up.. pure, raw and wonderful.
It's funny , The Bee Gees, The Young Brothers (Easybeats, and the younger guys of course AC DC) and Colin coming To Australia.. Also Denis Tek from the states in the Birdmen.. seems to be a success formula lol.. Guess Acca Dacca needed a thicker accent in the group when they roped in Brian lol
Scottish born, his family emigrated to Australia as a teen, he mentions it here.. Though he had an Aussie accent in the Men At Work days; not sure how an accent can go back to Scottish?! LOL.
@@markdp1983 In interviews back then, he had an Australian accent. He was most likely putting on the Aussie accent for the interviews, since it was a little known fact back then that he was originally from Scotland.
Colin and Steve would be an interesting musical collaboration. Sounds great here. Men At Work had such catchy hits. Didn’t Didn’t know Colin was in the US for 28 years. Didn’t know he was Glaswegian, but I thought he might’ve been. Not really a trace of Australian accent, it doesn’t seem like or is there? I don’t understand how Steve stole these giant pieces of gear.
He was functionally illiterate until his forties (according to himself)--crap parents, abuse/neglect, in and out of incarceration as a youth, not in school, has ADD; not really the best foundation for learning.
What about the lawcase against down under for allegedly ripping off Kookaburra Sits on the old Gum tree? fuck em.. just money grubbing lawyers who buy up the copyrights to old songs that have gone out of the public vernacular in the hope they can one day land a windfall by suing some band for allegedly infringing on that copyright , however small the passage of music in question.. bottom feeders.
Anyone know why he now speaks with a fake scottish accent. He lived longer in Aus than Scotland. He had a broad aussie accent. Why dis associate from his real accent.? Just to distance himself from Aus as much as possible....sad.
He's said in old interviews that his australian accent was fake. He just used it to fit in when he was at school because people couldn;t understand him. He didn't move here until he was 14 so his accent was pretty much cemented in by that point. My grandfather moved to australia from scotland when he was 17 and kept his accent until his death
You forget his parents and entire family all speak with Scottish accents. He said he developed an Aussie accent for school but would always revert to his Scottish accent when at home. The Aussie accent was always the "pretend" one which he finally decided to ditch when moving to the USA.
When his family emigrated from Scotland to Australia, Colin had to learn to develop an Aus accent quickly because the local kids didn't like his Scots accent.

He's a good man, that Colin Hay. And you two sounded great together, Jonesy. Thanks for this.
"It's in the same hemisphere"... Colin is a genius! Cheers from Brazil, mate! At least you know where we are and how much we appreciate his work.
I love Jonesy's Jukebox. He's authentic.
Colin Hay is a real forgotten talent. His live shows are great fun too as he has lots of fantastic and amusing stories from his life in music and out on the road.
He's very brilliant, for sure. There's too many songs to get hooked on, but my current crush is "Catch A Star". That one's a real forgotten gem.
I agree he really takes the time to connect with the audience while on stage, gotta love how personable he is
That was absolutely Brilliant! This has made my evening! Thanks!
Colin Hay is awesome a natural talent and quite the voice. Glad i had the chance to see him live.
Men at work were a fantastic unique band, they had great music and lyrics, and the inspiring and beautiful voice of Colin Hay. I wished, this band would have lasted longer, bands like this is what we need.
That duet was great!
One of Jonesy's best jams! Great chemistry!

LoL, I was definitely one of those that liked them but would never admit it. Why was it so uncool to like them back then? I can't even remember.
That song at the end was fucking awesome! Jonesy, instead of doing a competition to win $500 why not have the chance to win a jam session with the right honourable Steve Jones Esquire?
I listen to Jonesy's JukeBox every noon on KLOS 95.5fm in Los Angeles, California, USA...some great interviews 😎
that was somethin else....think ill look for his solo work
These guys should record a album together.
Colin always delivers.
the jam is brilliant with colin hay he is well good...
Another Aussie music God who's actually a Scot like the Young brothers and Bon Scott.
And Jimmy Barnes.
@@redoz9768 ya damn right and Jimmy Barnes, good onya mate, the bloke who wrote the national anthem was Scottish also
Great show guys ..
Volume level could be a good 18db hotter.
Beautiful.
Colin Hay n' Steve Jones REALLY had a nice jam!
Love Colin singing and Steve Jones backing vocals! AWESOME!
great playing by both!!!

Great to see some of the greats of Aus Rock on Jonesy's jukebox... Nice work.
There's your next project Jonesey, get in the studio with Colin.
Sounds great!
AWESOME Jam!
That jam session was fantastic.
As far as Australia is concerned, Mr Hay is 100% Australian and always will be

Great jamming partners. No pretensions, just a wee chat and a good sing along. Well played Jonesy!
Wonderful
Guy's this is a easy fix.Please give your vids a 10 db boost before posting!
Something wrong with the sound people at KLOS. Morons.
Didn't they tune up Guitars to Pianos back in the old days? they also had pitch pipes too
Good, good stuff
Met col a few times such a nice guy
Tasty jam, great lyric.
Amazing that Steve Jones has retained his accent given how long he’s resided in the US..
Why would that be amazing?
Lewis Hamilton has a cod American accent and he’s never even lived in America...
Never knew Colin Hay was a Scot, always thought he was an Aussie.
Scottish born, his family emigrated to Australia as a teen, he mentions it here.. Though he had an Aussie accent in the Men At Work days; not sure how an accent can go back to Scottish?! LOL.
Yeah he grew up in salcoats, think his dad had a guitar shop there.

Awesome!!
I almost forgot to watch an episode today
Great harmonic talent there Stevie Boy!
Awesome jam
I come from a land down under. Great song.
Colin is playing here in New Zealand soon with George Thorogood
1:58 The Highland clarences comes to mind.
very good. but yeah, where is the sound?
Fukin great
I like how Colin Hay doesn't have to "maintain the illusion of youth". He still has a kind of sex appeal though.
Do radio stations know about volume levels ?!
that was kinda kool

Nice
What about a new soundengineer for the show?
Mark Gatiss in deleted scene from League Of Gentlemen
yous two should record some trax together
The interviewer sounded lost from the beginning.
This man is a music legend.... I think this DJ fellow didn't know, haha
"This DJ fellow" is just as much of a music legend as Colin Hay is.
his accent gives it away
Jonesy, bless his heart, isn't very bright.
He was functionally illiterate until his forties (according to himself)--crap parents, abuse/neglect, in and out of incarceration as a youth, not in school, has ADD; not really the best foundation for learning.
Myf Warhurst...Really?

Ruined by low sound as usual. Wtf is wrong with you lot at KLOS?
Can't herar a thing.

As an Aussie, to me he always had a Scottish accent.
When his family emigrated from Scotland to Australia, Colin had to learn to develop an Aus accent quickly because the local kids didn't like his Scots accent.
He never had a strong Aussie accent.
Great to see some of the greats of Aus Rock on Jonesy's jukebox... Nice work.
