What I am struck by is how down to earth John is and Darryl for that matter. These guys are amazing and some of their songs should be part of the American songbook.

John is so under rated. He has always been such a wonderful talent. I love his music. His voice is so mellow and true. Thank you John. Am going out to buy your book.

Such a warm, lovely guy.

One of the things I like about watching interviews is that you can really get a feel for the person who you mostly only see on film, or hear on record. Here you get to know how neat of a guy john Oates is, and how much he contributed to the amazing duo, Hall &Oates. I love how humble and down to earth those guys are to listen to.

What a fine man, musician, artist. Legendary. He has never missed a beat and stood tall in his light.

I've loved John's voice and talent forever. It gets better with time! Thank you for sharing that part of your self with us.

Daryl and John look like they maybe 50 or 55 not 70

Such a nice guy, and so talented. Had I Know You Better Then is my favorite of their songs, with John on lead.

Their collaborations are symphonic. Beautiful gentlemen. I love singing their songs. I even sing along with their "Ennui On The Mountain."😊

what a warm guy... and talented

John Oates is really fascinating. I really enjoy every interview I've ever seen him do. Funny, warm, very articulate, and just a wonderful guy. Really good stuff. And yes, very handsome, then and now :)

I love Hall and Oates, they're my favorite band, and I am totally getting that book!

What a well spoken, insightful man. I have always been a fan!

Hall and Oates made themselves music history. Long after both are gone their music will survive. That's as good as it can get.

I am glad you did this John!

He reminds me of a cool uncle I wish he was my uncle great story teller

Fantastic interview! Look forward to reading book! Hall and Oates are certainly part of the soundtrack of my life! Great music memories!

No wonder he is so articulate, he was an English major🤔🔑😅love u John Oates, keep writing🌞

Two of the greatest musical artists of the past 50 years. Hands down.

I didn't know that they got a long that well. Good to know. Down to earth, dude.

I hit the like button halfway into her introduction of John!!! Awesome Talent Freaking Legend. 👍😎👍

I just finished John's book....What an interesting person! I'm totally in love with him!

John and Daryl's music was the soundtrack of my youth in the 80s Fantastic song writing and arrangements. Out Of Touch from Big Bam Boom. Love that track👍

An incredibly talented, intelligent and successful person. I only wish I could have had his success. And his demeanor: pure class.

Absolutely love their music when my mother played it when I was child. I still love their music today. Timeless feel good music

Very interesting. I’ve always loved the talent with this group and I was always curious about their back story.

I saw John Oates play in support of his new Arkansas album a couple weeks ago at the Kessler Theater in Dallas. It was an awesome show, to be sure, and he had some interesting takes on a couple H&O hits as well.

John and Daryl hall 1985 concert on you tube the liberty 85 concert was awsome John reminded me of prince soft voice singing and his hair but his mustache and I new it was John oates

He’s so handsome 🖤

This was a great interview. Well told and listenable

I grew up with their music! I love them both. Both Darle and John are awesome guys. I have great memories and I now love the stories I get a better view!❤

Hall and Oates!!! We love you guys keep it going...

This is 5 yrs ago.We want an interview with them in the here and now! My favorite duo from the 80's! "I can go for that!"

i love their songs! grew up with it in Asia… they’re timeless ❤️❤️❤️

Great Interview and great memories.

Saw him playing in a city called Southampton, England with his backing band about six years ago. Doing not only his solo work, but a lot of H@O material.

Learned a lot about John, but there was background noise that took the attention away couple times. Thanks John for sharing, learned a lot.

Reading his book which I thought would be boring, but it's fascinating journey of an uncompromising artists. You feel like you are part of his road crew from his early days touring with his parents dodge challenger. Then the chevy suburban. Then the buses. Ultimately, the lear jets. A great story about his group's "bad experience" with their first management . Then they hooked up with the founders of Atlantic Records and a young Tommy Motola. However, this was no "starmaker" collaboration. It was like equal partners and H&O eventually learned to produce and make albums on their own. It was a slow burn and by the fifth album in the 80's they made it big. They give credit to a lot of musicians that made up their band and other groups that helped along the way. Also, you feel a great sense of history from the vietnam war to the rise of MTV and the excess of the 80's.

I'm listening while being hypnotized by the wobbling water bottle -- must purchase this book, must get the entire Hall and Oates catalog ...

I have always said John does not get enough credit in this great group, I love DARYL but John always seems to be in DARYL, shadow, I will buy his book, looking forward to reading it,

John, such an informative interview and enjoyable.

Been following these guys years They are the best can't wait to get John's book

will get his book.

The book is AWESOME!!!!!!!

such a pleasure listening to him

My favourite band of all time

What a great guy.

What a talented humble lovely artist.

I love him 😢😢😢

Hall and Oates vastly underrated

Totally agree with you Lila, he's also always a great interview. Very eloquent and affable, understated also. Top bloke!

John is incredibly talented (and still handsome) ❤

It's true. There are such things as friends who don't need to fight. It's about character and understanding I think.

Screw the book. I want to read the original unedited journals please!

Very good singer and speaker.

I love!!💕💕💕💕💕💕

Real Nice.

They are soo cool 😎

you are a well thought out speaker.. interesting but that is the color of life...… words … every colorful one must have them... if you hold any ones interest..... love your enthusiasm.....

5:39 - same rhythm as in 'My Girl' by Chilliwack

I remember in the early 80s I was 11 or 12 getting dropped off at the skating rink and listen to all there hits that's what I remember love there music then when I was 13 or14 break dancing was out I was popping and licking white boy and lived your out of touch there style went with what was happening they always stay current and ahead of the game

que homem maravilhoso aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Dude can't be 70 years old. He's looks better than I did at thirty-five.

Love how they are admitting they were stoned for "She's Gone"... best song ever wasted by a top act... that should be a standard... that video probably means it isn't... but it fits THEM!

I could listen to him all day.... incidentally, he speaks in a very similar style that Daryl uses... it’s actually uncanny. 😉

And I thought they stopped talking to each other for a while.

He so smart

Magnifique!!!Bravo monsieur Oates.Merci pour partager.

I was waiting for the water bottle to fall off the table.....

the record label should release many more new songs with him on lead vocals .Daryl should have him time in the spotlight limited

Daryl Hall gets Charlie Rose, John get the AV Club

I love that John Oates is recognized. Readers love intelligent readers. We always love the smart guy...So happy you found your voice....I am going to love the man with a brain....sometimes you gotta love foul... it makes life real...I love that...We eat the men that are EATABLE? lETS BE REAL...lOVE. wE LOVE you BUT we will EAT YOU. Can you handle that?

A Good Cat…I like him.

He worked hard on that shit good like cheesesteak tho .

Just finished the book. Good for John starting new life in Aspen, and then meeting his new wife. Cool story on his interactions with his neighbor the famous writer Hunter S. Thompson, especially the funeral(...not going to spoil...read the book). Also, he kept away from going crazy on drugs/sh*t by staying busy with hobbies like tennis, auto racing, flying airplanes..etc. (this reminds me about how Sammy Hagar kept out of drug trouble with hobbies, also). He did get screwed by the record companies. See, when you are a big recording artist you can either get money upfront or later with royalties. If you take the cash, then the record company get's to collect some of the royalties(until that up front cash is paid...then artist get's royalty). Kinda like a mortgage, but after the house is paid in full you keep the house. Well, the record companies got paid in full, and kept collecting the royalties. Instead of sending it to the artists, the balance kept growing and they collected the interest on it. Duh, we didn't know where to mail the checks....F.U. music industry!!

Hall and Oates are F>C>B (Fucking Cool Bros).

I don't feel so guilty about listening to Hall and Oates now

Never heard John speak. Lol

They're both very smart, observant guys, but of the two - John definitely seems to be less edgy … and much easier to take a long car ride with.

👀👀👀👀👀

Philly TV She's Gone referenced in interview kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMCKocqF0NaZZH0.html It's brilliant, subversive, but perfect.

Very interesting, Funny how you listen to a group all your life and don't actual know anything about them. I know one thing; I've always really liked and enjoyed their music.

I’m loving his mustache and goatee. Very sexy.

They are most certainly BroMates

I'm 53 I thought Man Eater was about a Hooker "Many have paid to see what you think your getting for free"
