- In November 2003, the original line-up (Mike and Ali Score, Paul Reynolds and Frank Maudsley) reunited for a one-off performance in London.
If you enjoyed it, please don't forget liking the video and subscribing to the channel. Thanks a lot for watching!
Note: Although the original video says "November", A Flock of Seagulls actually played on the evening of October 27, 2003.
The reason all of the comments are about Paul Reynolds is because he was a musical prodigy and really brought the sound to the table. I love it.
He was so young back then, to have that much ability so young.
Well 80 percent or more is. Given that Reynolds carried the band when Mike couldn't.
@@2degucitas Pure, raw talent. He started playing when he was 10.
The pure joy on Paul’s face at the end, took away every year - he looked like a kid again.
It's wonderful to see Paul Reynolds on guitar again
Does Paul Reynolds realize how huge of a fan base he has?
He knows.
Paul Reynolds minimalist guitar style defines originality. This era was when echo effects pedals made the scene. Paul's style refreshing and carries the arrangement and propels the song. Truly an original.
Reno had such a unique style/tone. Nobody played like him.
It is my opinion, Paul Raynolds is the Flock of Seagulls main "SOUND" I can't believe how little onscreen time was given to him, when he guitar riffs. Epic sound...
absolutely agree
Totally. He really created the "Seagull Sound".
Paul Reynolds must have come from planet Krypton, his MAD guitar skills is out of this world; he can deliver a pure energy with his guitar...
Right? Nobody played like him.
I know Paul very well in Liverpool had some cracking jams with him
I really love the Paul Reynold's sound guitar.
Pauls guitar is outstanding! Delighted they played this gig! 4 class musicians
They also did a reunion tour in the fall of 2004, but sadly it fell apart after a handful of shows as they started fighting again, and Mike ditched the others and went back to his touring band, but still promoted the remaining shows as "the original lineup" even though it wasn't.
Reynolds was only 17yrs old when he joined the band, unique guitarist that gave the band that seagull trade mark.
he started playing when he was 10. He had pure, raw talent.
Paul Reynold’s unique guitar sound and playing style is what defined A Flock of Seagulls! 👊🇨🇦
100%
Absolutely! No one played like Reno.
Paul Reynolds is crazy talented! 🎉
He really was. Pure, raw talent.
Paul Reynold's guitar was superb on all Flock tracks.. so underated
I'd say his sound was as unique as the Edge
Well said!
He boffed almost every single, iconic riff in I Ran ..in this video though..plunk, chunk, the solo was good but the verse riffs...ouch
The edge copied Paul's style
The Edge wishes he had a song as good as this in his repertoire.
Darren Lee Edge was MOWING lawns and cleaning his bedroom when This guy created this guitar sound!! Lol
Brings back memories of better days. would give anything to have one day back.
PAUL REYNOLDS ! FUCKING GOD ! AMAZING GUITAR PLAYING MAN !!!
I like how almost all the comments are about Paul Reynolds😂
Ikr? Where's the love for Frank Maudsley also?!
@@mattmattiematthew9542 love um all but reno is the man
B Cause U Never See Him In Interviews & BeSides He's The Real Back Bone Of Group & A Very ,,, Very ,,, Very ,,, Very Under Rated Guitarist !!! He Should B On Rolling Stones Top 10 Guitarist Of All Time !!! Under Prince & Tom Morello ...
I know lol
He’s a hottie!! But, I like him in the younger version!! Totally!! I’m 34 now, didn’t get to live this awesome generation!! Sound is awesome!! And I’m in love with Paul!!
Undeniably, Paul Reynolds ❤
Paul Reynolds ! Will kick everyones ass ! Amazing !!
Appreciate the band and their music. It was Paul's guitar that gave them that great sound and made the band successful in my opinion. "I Ran" was one of the best songs every recorded and it still is a lot better than much of the music being produced today.
Paul was far ahead of his time and The Edge clearly took influence (*cough* hijacked *cough*) his sound for U2. I'd love to hear a solo album from him one day. I also think Score had some clever lyrics and contributed to the band more than people give him credit for.
Their third album, The Story Of A Young Heart is incredible.
ZyxthePest I agree, the lyrics in the songs are really good. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into the songs from my perspective. I think Score is a really good songwriter. It is just too bad that they all couldn't really get along together long, but that seems to be the case in a lot of bands that are composed of true artists. Artists can be complicated at times.... I was married to one. haha
"The More You Live, The More You Love" is also fantastic. Again, Paul's guitar. I love the outro.
Space age love song is an awesome track
Amazing group. Makes me wish I'd seen them back in the 80's! Paul is still just as sweet and adorable as then! ❤️
I did, saw them play at six flags back in the day, yes i was lucky i guess.
Paul Reynolds incredible guitar work..recognisable anywhere ..any decade..
Paul Reynolds is amazing and a guitar genius; his contribution to the band really solidified their sound. Listening to the new line up his absence becomes more noticeable.
Space Age Love Song his guitar sound is perfection...the airiness of it really feels as if you're floating in space.
Phill Scearce he sounds/plays to me like Johnny Marr of the Smiths.
+Lee Winger you're right a similar magic
The original band is awesome, and they keep to the original sound as l want to remember them. One thing l note is Paul's guitar sound is unique as all the original members are!
Nobody played like Reno. He had such a unique tone & style.
Get well Paul ❤️
I've head he's doing ok.
Paul Reynolds' sound and style remain as unique as they are otherworldly.
Yeah hes defnitely id say as proficient as Lindsey Buckingham (obviously diff style) and knows how to use delay lol
They are a great band but Paul is majestic, I'd pay just to see him plug in and play by himself.
Paul Reynolds guitar sound, perfect!
Problem is Mike Score is so far up his own arse he did not know what they had until it was all over.
I would like to see Frank and Paul should do something together.
Frank & Paul are still close friends. They both still live in Liverpool. But sadly Paul suffered a stroke in early 2020. He's doing ok, but I have heard he can't play anymore.
Paul Reynolds is still awesome.
He makes this band..Period
Mike : A big ego problem - Ali : Hearty, friendly - Franck : Cool and stylish - Paul : Very sensitive... Anyway, the orignal band is brillant, especially Paul.
Frank seems to bem a great guy, with a big sense of humour . But Paul... I'm falling in love! Such an incredible guitarist!
@@julianaguido1 I've been in love with Paul since the 80s. He seems like such a sweet soul. I totally feel for him because I've gone through some of what he has, so I can kinda relate on some level.
Reno is such a sweetheart -- and a very, very talented guitar player.
I get that exact same vibe from him... super sweet. So underrated & unappreciated as a guitarist.
paul reynolds is the whole band..
These Guys Still Know How To Rock The Show! And Listen to Paul Ryenolds Play Those Riffs! Damn!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful. Almost crying. This video made me happy. Thanks a lot. regards from Lima Peru.
Of all the Bands Reunited...I almost sobbed !! The great memories and energy was blissful, THANK U !!
CLASSIC 80's ....
At 4:13 Paul goes on a frenzy and smokes that guitar
In the 80's A Flock of Seagulls was the freshest and newest and best addition to the punk( new wave) scene, but it wasn't just Mike Score's hairdo( the look) or Paul Reynolds out of this world guitar playing, it was the combination of all four members, the fab four, loved throughout the world, and it combined the look, and magnificent music. All of the sudden it was gone, with people wondering if there would ever be more music, another album, or some kindof reunion? It brought a tear to my eye when this band agreed to get back together for this reunion, and as Mike Score noted, that if a band can't settle their differences after 20 yrs. they definetly shouldnt be together, but these guys should be together again.
53 years old and still enjoy the music. Still have the LP.
It's very nice to know that! I see here in the comments people with different ages - the older generation, usually the first fans of the band, and the younger one including me. That shows how A Flock of Seagulls, as many other 80s groups, can conquer the mind of so many different people!
Thanks for the comment, my friend.
+W. Sta. Another big fan here in that huge age range. My partner and I had only been together for 6 mths when VH 1 did this - we had just moved in together and had foxtel.
I had a 3 yr old, my partner and I now have 3 other kids aged 11, 9 and 2, with my eldest having just had the big end on year 10 weeks - she's 16 now.
This show came on one night and said their mission was reunite Flock Of Seagulls - we were both "Omg, no way!! Love them!"....we had no idea the other even knew who they were, most people our generation didn't. We actually shared a very odd taste of 80's, 90's grunge, dance, and everything from Duran Duran to Tool, it was really uncanny.
13 years on and we both still reckon the 80's were by far the best, even though I was just a kid. So our kids are raised on that same music - our 16 yr old down to our 2 yr old all absolutely adore this song and many others. My 2 yr old sings to all our 80's stuff, including this - he started watching and reacting to this song at 6mths of age, he'd jiggle up and down lol.
What can I say - my kids have taste lol.
+vintage lover Sincerely I thought beautiful your story. I hope someday my future kids have the same taste in music than yours. My sincer compliments!!
+W. Sta. thanks :) Believe me, they all hate current stuff - even my 16 yr old who is a huge music fan appreciates the likes of these guys, Real Life, Duran Duran and the like over anything else.
We like to ensure we are raising the next generation properly - Bieber, 1D, Kanye West and all those are totally banned here lol. Not by me either (though I would lol), by my 11 yr old daughter...she leaves Max on or downloads stuff like this and has it playing when doing homework :)
This style will never grow old for me and is the main influence if my own writing, and with the popularity of analog machines right now I'm hoping some of it comes back. ;)
The flock was far ahead of the times and that helped make them insanely popular in the 80s
A Very Very Underrated band.. Especially with Paul Reynolds pulling the strings absolute Genius...
I love this band ! They should have got more fame as all there albums are great !
The best !!!!
Awesome as always Paul is still the band
Without Paul, there was no FOS!!
Paul created the "Seagull Sound" without him... not the same.
Paul Reynolds ❤️❤️❤️ A master of the guitar ❤️❤️❤️
Mother watching on ....caps it all really,one of the greatest exports this country has produced.
I've had their albums on Tape,Vinyl,CD and ITunes,never tire of listening to these boys.
Brought tears to my eyes...I also laughed...I remember them well....loved watching them over and over on M-tv when they appeared they totally blew my mind. I saw a forever band like the beatles or eagles or rolling stones in terms of longevity...now they are back even though that idea to me didn't quite pan out-none the less -welcome back boys!
Goosebumps from that guitar still
This was very cool to watch...
What an incredible time to live in . Loved my teenage years listening to this band, and the second British invasion. It will never happen again.
Reno is an adorable Guitar God ❤
Man that solo is awesome.
Paul Reynolds his sound guitars is the 80's
2:38 "Never thought I meet a girl like you" - Editor cuts to... his mom
A Flock
of Seagulls still relevant to me this day! Older and wiser and better!
Paul is still so adorable!
He really is. He seems like such a sweet soul. I adore him so much.
I have to disagree with Mike score... if you watch the entire episode he talk about how he made the band, everyone came to see him. Paul Reynolds made the band... he gave them the sounds of A Flock of Seagulls
Sure Mike score formed the band and it wasn't all Paul Reynolds though sure he played a big part but in my opinion they all did their part to make their music great
TERPS FAN 22 e I agree bud
I agree with you
All the members wore important,. but yes Paul Reynolds had the biggest potential to start a solo career,. . The man has immense talent.
I agree ..you hear that guitar playing and you know instantly who it is..and it’s an amazing sound he produces...
ALMOST ANOTHER 20 YEARS !!!
The music is still timeless .
Dang Had such great wild music as a teen. Feel sorry for some who get really bad music during their generation.
Great Band! Brilliant! Paul Reynolds is a Genius!
Magnificent!!!!! Thanks for this!! Incredible!!! Some things are simply impossible to convey. However, they are as gifted as they come!!!
Sure glad Paul survived the early days ..... dam too much too fast .
Glad you all came through some tuff times.
Paul Reynolds Elliott Gaston, these guys are so underrated
This was absolutely incredible! ! What a great band they were! !
They nailed it after all these years. Rock on Flock of Seagulls!!
Old is gold and gold is golden.
Reynolds is up there with Charlie Burchill and Stu Adamson. Sonically he’s there with Edge too. Such a shame they never progressed
This music is eternal...the sound will never grow old for me. Still love my memories of the band back then.
Paul Reynolds was /is a highly under rated guitarist.
@@lancerx1001 Underrated and unappreciated.
Paul's guitar is alive and nothing, nobody compares with it. So sad to see him an old man in 2018. His is a comet in rock age
The "rock & roll lifestyle" took a toll on him and he's struggled with addiction ever since the 80s. And then in early 2020 he suffered a stroke that he's still recovering from. He's doing ok, but sadly from what I've heard, he can't play anymore.
I love this band. I also kind of dig the fact that the original lineup's look went from parodied 80's glam to four older dudes who seem like they would kick anyone's ass who messed with em hahah :)
the split screens of before and present is outstanding1
I like that the singer's voice got "older". It makes it rockier somehow.
Paul had such a unique sound.👍👍👍
Nobody played like him.
México loves A Flock of Seagulls.
Paul Reynolds y los otros 3 miembros originales de A Flock Of Seagulls se reunen una vez mas para 'Ascension' - llegando el 29 de Julio, 2018. Por favor de pasar esta noticia a otros "fans" de AFOS en Mexico. Si hay bastante interes en este proyecto, tal vez surga en una gira de la banda con los 4 integrantes originales.
Para mas detalles (incluso un link para el canal oficial de AFOS aqui en RUclips), favor de visitar la pagina _'AFLOCKOFSEAGULLS'_ (punto org).
Not ashamed to admit I teared up a little seeing this the first time...nostalgia
Reyno is back! Genius 👍just shredding it.
Well... was. Sadly he suffered a stroke in early 2020. He's doing ok but I've heard he can't plat anymore.
Reunited again is a real real pleasure i love all music themes of a flock of seagulls.
I agree with Paul, "I will start crying".....just overwhelming them together again!!
Hey guys, I made the video quality a little better. The screen is not moving anymore and the colours are neater. I hope you enjoy it!
Do you by any chance have the entire episode or know where i may find it?
In fact, I had found this episode on RUclips some years ago and I saved it. The original video is from VH1, but I could not find it on VH1's website.
w. sta. thanks for the video , greetings from Peru
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Miguel! AFOS performed in Peru some years ago, I don't know if you saw them. Perhaps they come to South America soon. Greetings from Brazil!
***** yeah, i remember watching the entire thing on tv many decades ago! great to see part of it again!
I've seen these guys back in 1983 at the Northrop Auditorium here in Minneapolis, Mn. I was just a young boy of just 15 years old. I bought 2 tix which was $10.00/piece. No one liked them in the crowed I hung out with but I was in one of those fazes that most teens go through. Point is, the day of the show my bros girlfriend (much older than me and drove) went with me. The day of the show (It was summer @ around 7pm cst) she picked me up I was so damn excited to go that I forgot to put my shoes on!!! I didn't even discover this until we got there!!! They even asked the fans to come up on the stage and I was up there. I even got to touch Mike's K/B!! The FIXX opened up for 'em. Good memories
Wish I would've been there. Northrop is a great venue. I bet The Fixx were amazing too.
I loved the original group. Why cant it be that way again?
A lot of reasons. Mike prefers his touring band. Also there are health issues with Frank (he has a rare heart condition) and Paul (he suffered a stroke in early 2020... he's doing ok but I've heard he can't play anymore).
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks.
They wrote such GREAT tunes.
Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love to see my favorite band & favorite guitarest make come back, would love to see them do this again in America, I will be the first in line to buy a ticket :)
This is so better than so many bands today.
Not gonna lie. I geeked out when VH-1 reunited them, more than the other bands they did.
3:57 "What can you say? What more could you want?"
Well, Mr. Ali, we would like for your brother to let go of his ego that got as big as his old hairstyle and let you, Reynolds and Maudsley all back in the band! This group was the perfect blend of talent, personalilty and style, all in one! That's a very rare combo for bands these days! Get back together for Mama Score at least!
Better yet, get the three together with a new singer.
Sadly I don't think another reunion will every happen. Mike prefers his touring band. Plus there are health issues regarding Frank (he has a rare heart condition) and Paul (suffered a stroke in early 2020... he's doing ok but I've heard he can't play anymore).
amazing!
Very good....!!!! Presentation....!!!!
MAN EVEN THOUGH THEIR OLD THEY CAN STILL ROCK-N-ROLL '0'
This band is a golden dream. The songs strike you like lightning.
This is fcukin AWESOME!
Top live sound - Reynolds is a fcukin genius!
WOW, 20 years ago these bands got back together with the help of one guy. loved this show when it came out. just cant believe its been 20 years.
I've be doing a cover of this recently and have Paul's isolated guitar parts...fantastic sound
The 80's band was everything
Same energy . They really like what they are playin'.
I love this cause all the members of a flock of seagulls were up for it,npretentionous fair play to all of em for reuniting and doing this
Mike took a little extra persuasion though. You can tell he kinda wasn't totally into it. At that time he was about to do a solo album and wanted to concentrate on that. The other three though were definitely into and and were enjoying themselves.
Wooooooooooowwwww just Amazing !!!!!!!
Flock of seagulls por siempre, sus temas nunca pasaran de moda, su música me transporta...gracias.
dont care what anyone says .. this was my 80,s .. the 4 scallies from liverpool ( 8 miles and across the mersey from were i live ) including 2 hairdressers were what the 80.s liverpool scene was all about ... remember seeing ali in probe music ( which was owned by pete burns ) .. really nice lad and we spoke for 10 minutes or so ... also gave me tickets to a local gig .... top band .. !
+brianthesnail1234 Nice story Brian! 4 lads from Liverpool with haircuts that influenced a decade... I guy named Paul outside of the Cavern Club... well, okay not THOSE 4 lads! Flock was always one of my favorites back in the early mid 80s for me as a teen growing up in Chicago... still listen to all of those great tunes!
Your incorrect, only 2 of them was actually born in Liverpool,the guitarist (Paul Reynolds)
And bass player (Frank Maudsley) the score brothers are originally from yourkshire, and Pete burns never actually owned probe records,he worked there.
one moment in time for a one night only performance and one for the ages !
Todo lo que puedo llegar a sentir escuchando está canción.. la buena música ...la emotividad y el amor por la buena música. I Tan..
Underrated talent
