John Ashton, The Psychedelic Furs

Author: Craig Garber January 22, 2021 Duration: 2:26:20

On this John Ashton Interview: The rise and fall of the Psychedelic Furs and how things might have been different, the serendipitous (and also scary) events that occurred in John's life that brought him to music and to the Furs… hie less than idyllic childhood and how he managed to create a life for himself in spite of this, watching Free, Bowie, and The Clash in concert. John also shows us some of his many cool guitars, Tokyo, doing things at least twice, origins of Satellite Paradiso and TONS of other cool stuff. Awesome, sincere and lots of fun and laughs on this one!

NOTE: The Satellite Paradiso LP is under "John Ashton" on streaming!

John's most well-known as the guitarist for The Psychedelic Furs. He was with the band from 1978-2007, playing and writing on all their LPs during this time. Originally from London, John has also worked as a side man and producer, working with artists like Marianne Faithfull, The Sisters of Mercy, Red Betty, and Seven Color Sky. John has a solo project called Satellite Paradiso. The band was touring regularly before Covid and they have one LP out, which is phenomenal. It's a great example of killer songs, mixed with amazing guitar riffs in the psychedelic / alternative genre

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
