Glad he mentioned Charlie Parker. That’s a requirement.

you have aged well. You were a funny looking young man, but look at you now!

@rr-ur3kj February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

and now My stetement : Roxy Music was Duran Duran, long before Duran Duran !

@kpoleary1 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Bryan is the suavest guy in the world. I saw him at the Guthrie Theatre (Minneapolis) in 1975 and what a performance! He ended it with "A Hard Rains Gonna Fall" and confetti (rain) coming down from the ceiling.

@FactbasedReality0421 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Let's just step back and appreciate Brian and the band. Who cares what others say. Did you like them? Nothing else matters.

@pulse4503 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Ive always gotten french/belgique vibes from this chap

74 here and GORGEOUS

@RemyRAD February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Ugh Bryan looks so old now. And this was 5 years ago. Oh my God? He was so cute when he was younger. This is now just an old tired man. Ugh.

I'm almost now just as old. My youth, gone. At 69. But I'm not looking that bad. And he was how old in this interview, six years ago? My age,, 69? Ugh! Good, he is not looking now. His voice is shot. But he was not a screamer. Maybe at home? You just never know? But he can't really sing anymore now. They really never ccould. But it never sounded this strange. And he was so cute. I had the hots for him. Now not so much. Aging is dastardly. To us all. Ugh!

Virtually all of my friends have gone full gray. I feel ripped off. I always envision myself. With gray hair at this age. I hardly have any gray hair. I feel ripped off. People think I'm still in my early 40s and treat me that way. But I'm 69! Stop treating me like a 42-year-old! LOL. It's great. I love it. But I feel ripped off. I don't have a beautiful head of gray hair. It still BROWN. God dammit! I wanted a bunch of gray hair. And it doesn't work well. Too dye your hair gray. Because it's then all one color of gray. Ugh.

Brian Eno went on to produce some pretty cool records and bands. Pretty amazing. For a guy that can't really play any musical instrument.. He sort of plays. He acts like he's playing. He is merely making sound effects with the synthesizer. And trying to look all flashy, cool and gender in between. I do that much better. LOL. He's a fake. I'm the real deal. LMAO. I'm beautiful. He just looked like, Brian Eno. Because he was.

They were a very Novel Band. They were good. They were creepy. But good. Good and creepy.

They didn't make it in the USA until their last album? I had every Roxy Music LP as soon as they came out. Saw them live with an early Queen… What a show!!

@cjgiovanniedits February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

upper class music for upper class people

@markkumanninen6524 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Dheezh, I love the man! Back in 1974 a friend of mine had got Stranded and loaned it to me. Been a fan ever since. That's fifty years, and I still get moved over many favourites. It was fab to see the man in Babylon Berlin!

@provetamin February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

they did a really good cover on bob dylans 'a hard rain is gonna fall'

@jynxclover February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

More people learn about Roxy Music every day. Im 47 and today im am learning about Roxy Music. How did i miss this?

@brianhainsworth9967 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Bryan with Roxy is incredible- like many I love the early stuff but he managed to innovate and produce great music though the decades. Love solo stuff but there’s some magic chemistry when he’s with the other Roxy guys.

@toddtwitchell February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Saw them in Cleveland in '76. Great!

@amandeyorke36 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

ferry is a god among men thank you x

@GunillaRasmusson February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Just when I think, now I have all his performings or all his rekords. Poff – something different is showing . This wonderful man has done the most in music.

@markhattley2032 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Ferry deserted his North Eastern roots. A fake little man.

@moreme40 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Bryan tried to outdo Billy Wyman(William Perks). Take your vitamin E guys……

@leos2976 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Post AVALON… "Ferry disbanded the band…" HAHAHA
Based on everything I've read, what was left of the original Roxy Music by then had left or were aching to leave. The man had his own vision and it didn't want any distractions.
Also, way to mention Brian Eno as leaving ONLY to collaborate w others. Nevermind the genius SOLO albums he made and continues to make. Bad job CBS morning show, you're kissing up to the wrong Brian.

@hungfao February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

It's a shame to get old. His quirky vocals can't hit those highs anymore. I wish him the best.

@elsmeervd4893 February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

My kind off man !!

@1966Depeche February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

Bryan Ferry, charismatic, coolness personfied and to me the composer of classic timeless songs 😊

@NickDelhanidis February 15, 2025 - 10:30 pm

it has been my wish, when i part this world, to be remembered by "more than this" – i wish it was my creation. Unbelievable heavenly tunes right from another bittersweet dreamy dimension were emotions and depth are religion. The people were absolute geniuses. Manzanera, Mckay, Ferry. 801 was ages ahead of its time and quite prophetic
