IT'S A PRETTY GOOD VIEW THOUGH BA - YEAH NOT BAD JW - YOU'RE LOOKING VERY ROCK… BA - THANKYOU JW - ……IN A KIND OF DISTRISSED LOOKING ANTIQUE LEATHER JACKET. DID YOU BUY IT ALREADY DISTRESSED OR…….. BA - NOPE I'VE HAD THIS YEARS AND YEARS, IT'S JUST AS WORN AS I AM. YOU SHOULD SEE IT WHEN I TAKE THE JACKET OFF IT'S EVEN MORE HORRIFYING! JW - THIS IS FOR RIDING THE SCOOTER? BA - YEAH JW - SO YOU DON'T WEAR A PARKER AND YOU HAVEN'T GOT LIGHTS ON IT WITH LOTS OF MIRRORS BA - WELL ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S QUITE GOOD YOU WEA SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE PROTECTIVE INCASE YOU GO OFF. IT DOES HAPPEN! JW - IT DOES, ASK MARK KNOFLER! BA - OH YEAH HE'S COME OFF BADLY HASN'T HE JW - YEAH BUT I THINK HE'S ON THE MEND BA - HAVE YOU COME OFF YOURS? JW - ONLY ONCE QUITE SLOW, A TAXI DRIVER. YOU KNOW YOU SEE THEM COMING OUT OF A SIDE ROAD AND YOU GET EYE CONTACT…AND YOU THINK WELL WE HAVE EYE CONTACT, HE KNOWS I'M HERE BA - HE'S PROBABLY LISTENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW! JW - AND HE JUST PULLS STRAIGHT OUT….GETS OUT OF HIS CAB AND SAYS "OH I'M SORRY MATE I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY LAST FAIR, I NEVER GOT A TIP, MY MIND WAS ELSEWHERE" BA - SO DID YOU BREAK ANYTHING OR ARE YOU ALRIGHT? JW - NAH I WAS ALRIGHT BA - CAME OFF CUSHY DID YA? JW - HAVE YOU EVERBROKE ANYTHING? BA - I BROKE MY HAND ONCE, BUT IT'S FINE AND EVERYTHINGS GOOD JW - BUT SOMEBODY LIKE YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BE TAKING PART IN THESE DANGEROUS SPORTS BRYAN! BA - WELL LETS BE HONEST ABOUT IT, IF YOUR GONNA GET AROUND LONDON IT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET AROUND JW - IT CERTAINLY IS BA - IT'S QUICK AND JUST MORE FUN TO BE HONEST JW -YEAH, NOW WE'VE HAD A MILLION AND ONE EMAILS AND QUESTIONS SO PULL UP A COUCH BA - OK HEHE, TAKE OFF YOUR JACKET….SHOW US THE OTHER WORN BITS! JW - MATTHEW BRAMMER - I'M NEARLY 8, AND I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC A LOT. MY MUM IS ALWAYS LISTENING AND SINGING ALONG SO I KNOW THE WORDS TO ALL YOUR SONGS BA - WOW THAT'S BETTER THAN I AM JW - HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU WROTE YOUR FIRST SONG…SAY HELLO TO MY MUM JACKIE SHE'D BLUSH… BA - I WAS 15 WHEN I WROTE MY FIRST SONG, YOU KNOW I TRIED BEFORE THAT BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT…THE FIRST THING I WROTE AS WHEN I WAS 15 JW - AND CAN YOU SAY HI TO JACKIE… BA - OH HI JACKIE YOU ALRIGHT JW - RACHEL RODGERS…I'M A YOUNG GUITARIST AND I WENT TO SEE BRYAN A FEW YEARS AGO AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. BE A GUITARIST I'VE LEARNT A LOT OF HIS STUFF. JUST WONDERING WHEN BRYAN'S FINISHED WITH HIS GUITARS, WHAT DOES HE DO WITH THEM? YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A SPARE ONE GOING WOULD YOU? BA - HAHA NO I DON'TI MEAN I HAVE GIVEN A FEW AWAY OVER THE YEARS BUT GENERALLY I HANG ONTO THEM BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET USED TO A GUITAR…IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN DISPOSE OF AFTER ONE GO JW - DO YOU TAKE A SLIGHTLY NAFF ONE ON THE ROAD WITH YOU? BA - NO NO I TAKE GOOD GUITARS WITH ME. A FUNNY STORY HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY ACTUALLY, I HAD A GUITAR WHEN I WAS 12, WHICH I LEFT. I WAS LIVING IN ISRAEL FOR A YEAR WITH MY PARENTS AND I LEFT IT THERE…I MET THIS GUY WHO SAID "I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO HAS YOUR GUITAR AND HE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU WANT IT BACK!" SO ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER ONE OF THE FIRST GUITARS I EVER BOUGHT GOT RETURNED TO ME AND IT WAS REALLY A QUITE SWEET THING TO HAVE BECAUSE AS A KID IT WAS A FANTASTIC THING TO HAVE…AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, ESPECIALLY BACK IN THE EARLY 70'S JW - HOW'S THE LANDROVER BY THE WAY? BA - OH IT'S GOOD, IT NOT UP ON BLOCKS BUT IT DOESN'T GET DRIVEN VERY MUCH BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO DIFFICULT TO GET AROUND TOWN JW - I'VE GOT A 64 SERIES 2A BA - YOU DON'T!!! I HAVE A 65 SERIES 2! JW - OH WOW! HEY WE'RE BROTHERS! BA - YOU DON'T YOU WINDING ME UP? JW - NO I'M NOT! BA - YOU ARE AREN'T YOU? IS HE WINDING ME UP? NO? REALLY? OH HOW COOL! JW - I'VE GOT SOME PHOTOS AT HOME I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM IN BA - YEAH! JW - IT'S A NEW ACQUISITION FOR ME BA - REALLY YEAH IT'S A GOOD CAR JW - NO SYNCROMESH ON SECOND GEAR BA - NOPE ABSOLUTELY NOT JW - LITTLE BIT TRICKY BA - I'VE ACTUALLY PUT A NEW ENGINE IN MINE. YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE? NO WAY! JW - I THINK IT'S A MILITARY ONE THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF MILITARY ENGINES BA - SO YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE? WOW THAT'S INCREDIBLE JW - SO YOU'VE MASTERED THE DOUBLE D CLUTCH THEN BA - YEAH WELL I LEARNED HOW TO DO THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING A MINI YEARS AGO JW - YEAH. ERM RONNIE BOON, PLEASE ASK BRYAN FOR HIS OPINION OF THE WORST PLACE HE'S EVER PLAYED AS EVERYBODY WOULD ALWAYS ASK WHAT WAS THE BEST GIG? BA - WELL YOU KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF GIGS IN THE EARLY DAYS WHERE THERE WAS REALLY BAD PUBS AND CLUBS. SO I GUESS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE EARLY DAYS PLAYING IN REALLY BAD BARS SO WE ARE TALKING 25 YEARS AGO REALLY….SO SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN PRETTY UPHILL JW - HAHA BA - WELL IF YOU GOTTA START FROM LOW PLACES MAN THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY ALL MUSICIANS CAN RELATE TO THAT. ONE THING WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS WE'VE ALL PLAYED THE DIVES…..AND IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE DIVES YOU HAVEN'T PAYED YOUR DUES. JW - DID I SEE A PHOTO OF YOU OUTSIDE 10 DOWNING STREET? BA - YES YOU DID JW - AND YOU'D BEEN IN? BA - I HAD BIN IN YEAH JW - DID YOU GET THE TOUR? BA - I DID GET THE TOUR YEAH THEN I WAS QUICKLY SHUFFLED OUT! JW - REALLY? BA - NAH I WAS INVITED FOR A VISIT SO WENT DOWN FOR A VISIT JW - DID HE WANT SOMETHING? DID HE WANT YOU TO PLAY A BENEFIT GIG OR? BA - NO NO THERE WAS NO MENTION OR NO ALTERIOR MOTIVES, JUST HELLO. INFACT IT TURNED OUT THAT TONY BLAIR CAME TO MY SHOW BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED PRIME MINISTER YEARS AGO SO HE WAS A BIT OF A FAN. I MET HIM ACTUALLY DURING THE JUBILEE AND HE SAID COME ON DOWN TO 10 DOWNING STREET AND MEET EVERYBODY AND HAVE A TOUR SO I SAID YEAH I'D LOVE TOO. QUITE A NICE THING TO DO REALLY. JW - SO THERES POLICEMEN OUTSIDE. AND THEN WHAT? I GUESS THEY WOULD HAVE VIDEO CAMERAS I WOULD IMAGINE. BUT THEN LIKE THE DOOR OPENS MAGICALLY AS IF THEY KNOW YOU'RE THERE
JW - AND THEN IS IT LIKE THE TARDIS WHEN YOU GO IN? IS IT HUGE? BA - WELL HERE'S THE THING. I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE ANY OF THE SECURITY TIPS AWAY I DON'T THINK, BUT WHEN YOU GO DOWN TO DOWNING STREET THERE IS A GATE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PRIME MINISTERS HOUSE. JW - MAGGIE HAS THOSE PUT IN BA - DID SHE? JW - TO KEEP THE PEASANTS AT BAY YEAH BA - I DON'T THINK SO I THINK THEY'VE HAD IT THERE A LONG TIME…BUT ANYWAY AS YOU COME UP YOU HAVE TO ANNOUNCE WHO YOU ARE AND EVERYTHING AND I THINK THAT PROBABLY GETS BROADCAST TO THE HOUSE, AND BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE HOUSE THEY OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU JW - RIGHT BA - SOMETHING LIKE THAT JW - SLIGHTLY ODD ENTRY PHONE SYSTEM BA - EXACTLY A LITTLE MORE ELABORATE JW - NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE SUBJECTOF BRITISH WOMEN FOR ONE OF YOUR BOOKS? BA - BECAUSE I DID ONE ON CANADIAN WOMEN AND BOTH OF THEM WERE FOR BREAST CANCER CHARITIES SO BOTH OF THEM WERE A PROJECT TO RAISE MONEY AND AWARNESS FOR BREAST CANCER JW - THE HAVEN CHARITY BA - EXACTLY YEAH THE HAVEN TRUST WHICH IS A BREAST CANCER CHARITY HERE IN LONDON JW - SURE. AND WHAT GOT YOU INTERESTED IN HELPING THEM? BA - WELL BECAUSE A FRIEND OF MINE HAS PASSED AWAY FROM THE DISEASE AND SHE WAS 37 AND SHE HAD BEEN A FRIEND OF MINE FOR YEARS AND SO I JUST FELT COMPELLED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE CAUSE AND JUST SOMETHING FOR HER. BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST SUCH A GREAT FRIEND AND I JUST FELT I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING AND SO FOR A YEAR. I SPENT A YEAR DOING IT JW - IT'S PRETTY TOUGH WHEN YOU LOOSE SOMEONE YOU'VE BEEN CLOSE TO BA - WELL YEAH AND ANYWAY SHE WAS YOUNG AND SHE WAS A FRIEND AND I HAD NO IDEA IT COULD EFFECT PEOPLE SO YOUNG. AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD A FASINATING PROJECT AND I HAVE CONTINUED TO DO PHOTOGRAPHY AS A RESULT JW - YEAH, HAVE YOU GONE DIGITAL OR ARE YOU STILL FILM? BA - I HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA YEAH IT'S ONLY A LITTLE ONE THOUGH JW - HOW MANY PIXELS YOU GOT BRYAN? BA - HAHA (BOTH LAUGH) THAT'S TOP SECRET! THERE ARE 3.5 MEGAPIXELS JW - YEAH BUT DOES THIS DELAY WHEN YOU PRESS THE SHUTTER BUTTON? BA - YEAH IT IS A BIT STRANGE JW - YOU MIGHT LOOSE THE MOMENT BA - YEAH BUT YOU GOT THE OTHER MOMENT THOUGH, WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE AS INTERESTING JW - YEAH NOW THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE. NOW THE BEST OF ME IS OUT….SPECIAL TOUR EDITION WE GOT HERE. BA - YEAH THAT ALBUMS ACTUALLY BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE BUT THEY HAVE PUT A NEW EDITION OUT FOR THE TOUR ERM….LET ME HAVE A LOOK AT IT JW - THERE'S SOME LIVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA STUFF BA - YEAH THERE'S ALL KINDA STUFF ON HERE…SLANE CASTLE…ERM…AND THE IDEA WAS JUST TO HAVE A LIVE DISC WITH THE BEST OF COLLECTION BECAUSE NOWADAYS THERE ARE SO MUCH DOWNLOADING AND EVERYTHING, SO IT'S JUST ABOUT GIVING EVERYBODY MORE FOR THEIR MONEY REALLY JW - IF SOMEBODY DOWNLOADS AND GETS AN MP3 FILE OF ONE OF YOUR SONGS DOES THAT TICK YOU OFF? BA - NO IT DOESN'T BECAUSE I THINK AT THIS POINT IT HAS BECOME SO PREVALANT…I MEAN WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT REALLY? AND ANYWAY I THINK IF PEOPLE ARE THAT COMPELLED TO DOWNLOAD YOUR MUSIC, THEN EVENTUALLY THEY MIGHT COME AND SEE YOUR SHOW AND YOU KNOW I THINK THERE ARE OTHER WAYS THINGS CAN WORK OUT FOR MUSICIANS. BUT I THINK IN MANY WAYS I THINK THE INTERNETS A GREAT BIG ADVERTISEMENT FOR MUSIC IN SOME WAYS. I HOPE EVENTUALLY RECORD COMPANIES CAN ACTUALLY GET IT TOGETHER TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT IT HELPS THE YOUNG MUSICIANS AS MUCH AS IT HELPS THE ESTABLISHED MUSICIANS BECAUSE REALLY IT IS THE YOUNG MUSICIANS WHO ARE GONNA STRUGGLE THE MOST WITH THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE NEVER GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY. JW - OK. VERY GOOD ANSWER YOU'VE THHOUGHT ABOUT THAT ONE BA - WELL NO I'M JUST RAMBLING HERE. I REALLY AM I'M JUST RAMBLING JW - HOW LONG YOU HAD THIS 'GI' THIS SUPERSHORT HAIRCUT? BA - SINCE THIS MORNING JW - YEAH? BA - YEAH I DID IT FOR YOU JOHNNY JW - IT LOOKS VERY GOOD BA - YEAH THANKS JW - HERE'S A SONG FROM THE BONUS TOUR CD, THIS IS LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA. WHERE DID YOU PLAY THAT? BA - ERM WE PLAYED….DEPENDING ON WHICH TRACK IT IS YOUR PLAYING ERM JW - THIS WOULD BE TRACK 3…CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED LIVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA BA - I THINK IT WAS TAKEN IN JOHANNESBURG. AND THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO JW - OK HERE IT IS ***CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED - LIVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA*** JW - BRYAN ADAMS, LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED. HE WAS PLAYING AIR GUITAR ALL THROUGH THAT….. BA - HAHA JW - ….AND HIS FINGERS ARE BLEEDING BA - VERY FUNNY JOHN…ACTUALLY THE INTERESTING ABOUT THAT IS THAT'S ONLY 3 OF US PLAYING. THAT'S ME ON BASS, KEITH ON GUITAR, MICKEY ON DRUMS. IT'S A 3 PIECE. UP UNTIL LAST YEAR WE WERE PLAYING AS A 3 PIECE ON TOUR AND IT LASTED ABOUT 4 YEARS. JW - NOW YOU TOUR A LOT. CHRIS DOYCHLY I THINK IT IS…I'M A BIG FAN AND TO SEE YOU PERFORM LIVE IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY. BUT YOU SEEM TO BE ON THE ROAD QUITE A BIT DO YOU GET HOMESICK? IF YOU DO WHERE DO YOU CLASS AS HOME? BA - I CLASS LONDON AS HOME AND I GO OUT ONCE A MONTH SOMEWHERE. I DON'T LIKE TO GO OUT ON LONG LONG TOURS FOR 6 -8 MONTHS OR A YEAR. I MEAN ONE TIME IN THE 90'S WE WERE OUT FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT GOING AROUND THE WORLD AND AROUND THE WORLD. BUT I CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE… JW - WHY NOT? BA - WELL I LIKE COMING HOME AND I LIKE DOING OTHER THINGS. SO I GO OUT ONCE A MONTH AND ACTUALLY COMING UP IN MAY WE ARE PLAYING A COUPLE OF SHOWS HERE, A COUPLE OF SHOWS IN GERMANY AND ERM THAT'S IT FOR THAT MONTH AND THEN JUNE….I DON'T KNOW LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS FOR JUNE… JW - YEAH BA - BUT LIKE EVERY MONTH GO OUT FOR A WEEK AND THAT'S LIKE GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE IT GETS EVERYONE TOGETHER, THE BAND GETS ALL FRESH…….WELL SORTA FRESH! JW - ERM SHARON HARVERY SAYS "YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW ARTISTS THAT MANAGE TO KEEP THEIR PRIVATE LIFE JUST THAT. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO ACHIEVE OR DON'T YOU THINK THE MEDIA FIND YOU JUICY ENOUGH? THIS IS BY NO MEANS A PERSONAL OPINION OF MINE!"….SO YOUR JUICY ENOUGH FOR SHARON… BA - THANKS SHARON. I HAVE ALWAYS STEERED CLEAR OF IT AND KEPT QUIET. I THINK IF YOU WANNA MAKE A CAFFUFFLE ABOUT YOUR LIFE YOU CAN, OR YOU CAN JUST GET ON WITH WHAT YOU DO…I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BEING IN THE PRESS TO BE HONEST JW - HMMM WHO'S ON THE BACK OF THE PEOGEOT SCOOTER YOU DRIVE 'ROUND LONDON THESE DAYS BA - AHHH YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW WOULDN'T YA….AHH YOU LITTLE DEVIL YOU! JW - ERM A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING ABOUT COLLABARATION YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF THEM BA - DONE A COUPLE YEP JW - ANY PLANS FOR ONES YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO? BA - YOUR HINTING JOHNNY I KNOW THERE'S A SINGER AND YOUR COMING OUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS ISN'T IT? NO? EVERYONE'S NODDING THE OTHER WAY LIKE NO! I HAVEN'T GOT ANY PLANS AT THE MOMENT BUT ALL THE COLLABARATIONS I HAVE DONE HAVE ALL HAPPENED SPONTANIOUSLY. YOU HAVE A SONG AND YOU THINK MAYBE THIS WOULD BE BETTER AS A DUET…FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I DID THE THING WITH TINA TURNER YEARS AGO….I WAS A BIG FAN AND I WAS THINKING WHO COULD I GET TO SING THIS SONG WITH…SOMEONE REALLY ENERGETIC AND WHO COULD SCREAM HIGHER THAN ME. AND ER, TINA WAS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE AT THE TIME. THESE THINGS HAPPEN SOMETIMES QUITE QUICKLY AND WITH TINA FOR EXAMPLE SHE HAPPENING TO BE PLAYING IN VANCOUVER THE WEEK I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT SO I GOT HOLD OF HER MANAGER AND THE NEXT THING I KNEW ABOUT IT WE HAD DONE A SONG TOGETHER. BUT NO PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AT THE MOMENT. JW - OK. WE ARE GONNA PAUSE FOR A TRAVEL NEWS… BA - SEE I TOLD YA I WAS RAMBLING!
