Mike Nesmith used to talk all the time about the animosity between him and Peter and how they didn't like each other much, but when interviewed on tv just after Peter's death, he broke down on camera. "Brothers" love each other, hate each other and fight with each other, but in the end they were brothers and that bond lives forever. Rest in peace, Davey, Peter and Mike. You brought joy to generations.

Peter and Micky wrote the most beautiful memorial messages to Davy’s family. They truly loved him. RIP Manchester Cowboy.

These four guys had the time of their lives. They made the world a happier/brighter place in the cosmos. They also wore groovy clothes:-)! Many thanks to Peter Tork and the rest of the band. Davy Jones (RIP).

Love PETER TORK! I had a crush on all of them, but my heart strings always went back for this guy.

And now Tork is joining Jones in heaven. R.I.P Peter Tork(1942-2019)

Peter Tork what an incredibly nice guy and hugely talented musician. A huge loss to the world, just loved this guy. R.I.P. Peter Tork.

I just like to say how much the group call The Monkees mean alot to me. Missing of Davy Jones, and Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith, will never be the same but the music will always be in our hearts forever. May they rest in peace.

Peter Tork was the Monkee I loved the most. Years ago, before their concert in Charlotte, NC years ago, my spouse and I met Davy in Walmart. He gave us tickets eight rows from the stage and backstage passes. They're the best! ¬ Janet

Peter Tork died today, 2-21-2019. Reading these comments from 5 years ago, the hate, I have to wonder if these same people feel the same. RIP Peter.

Caught their gig some years ago about 2005 in London when they had a reunion. They were amazing and what surprised me that there was so many young people around 15 years of age at the gig, I thought it was going to be all oldies there. The gig was fantastic and amazing and was certainly worth seeing.

Gotta tell you...as "old man" as his voice sounds, he's a hell of a singer. Just saw him perform in Chicago a few months ago and it's incredible how he can still hit his high notes in the original key. Great singer, and a phenomenal instrumentalist, too.
-
Peter Tork is still a great musician and person. After meeting and working with him several times, I can't ask for anyone any better. Class act, class guy!!!

I met Peter when he played her in the UK with his blues band. He's a very talented, enhusiastic guy, and a really nice man.

Davy's passing really had an effect on me. I had just gone through my own heart attack a couple weeks before him. I had 5 bye passes, and was recuperating at home when it happened. I felt so strange like, why him, and not me? I cannot explain why I felt that way either. But it really upset me. I grew up watching them in the 60's. My sister was a huge Davy Jones fan so we got to know them because of her. In fact, she was the one who texted me the news.

And now also appearing on this stage in heaver,along with Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork. R.I.P.

To clarify for those who haven’t read up on the Monkees’ interpersonal relationships, Peter almost certainly “liked” Micky, “loved” Davy, and “respected” Michael.

Before you blast Peter too much, in a later interview he choked up and fought back tears while talking about Davey. Remember, this was RIGHT after Davey died. He was, as he said, "gobsmacked". People mourn in different ways and handle pain in different ways, so may not talk or act the way people expect them to, especially directly after the loss. I've known people that got cold and calm after losing someone which was their way of coping, of keeping it together. Be a little less quick to judge.

My deepest of most heartfelt sympathies to the Monkees for the passing of Davy Jones, and to his family as well. I too, grieve right along with you! Davy was indeed a lovely lovely gentleman! May he rest in such wonderful sweet peace!

I really feel old! If this gal watched re-runs in the 1980's when she was a "child". I watched the shows when they were NEW in the 60's. I was in Kindergarten and I remember wolfing down my dinner on Monday nights so I could watch the Monkees because I was only allowed to watch 2 hrs of TV a day.
