Great interview.... Do I see a Dingwall in the background? ;) Maybe another multi-scale bass....
Fix tonebridge
So many guitarist are slaves to their rigs. Axe-Fx III modeler controlled with MIDI board into the front of house mixing desk to the PA and split back to the stage amps and four pedal boards worth of effects...yes, their sound is perfect, but at what cost? One glitch, one bad connection and the whole thing is dead. John 5 has it down cold. Like Angus. Badass amp, a few pedals like a tuner and noise gate or volume pedal plugged straight into the head. Easy peasy Japanesey
Sounds like a 'Sharon' move that one (not the headbutt)
#Beat
Isn't this why we love music?
Would love to drink a few beers with Alex and Geddy.....
No usaba overdrives pedals ?
Arrojó la Strato contra el piso ?? 😮😮 😮
I feel like I know this guy! I saw Crimson and Gabriel so many times I can’t even count❤
Tony Levin was the original bassist that John McLaughlin wanted for the Mahavishnu Orchestra. That goes to show just how long Tony’s been in the business for
He's played for JFK on The White House lawn. That's how long he's been into music.
Im glad Tony did not end up in Mahavishnu. It would have been a waste of his talents.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
T💗✨️Ś
Good guy.
This is a remarkable interview. Excellent questions with great responses from Maestro Levin.
Rush are masters of their craft, but Alex is right without Neil there is no Rush.
I'd love to know the other bassists that Fripp had audition for that 80's Crimson lineup.
We can never get too much Tony!
I first saw them in 1979 they were always my favorite band and have seen them about 19 times! They ruled rock in my humble opinion from the 70's till about 2000!
Awe I wish Richard could be reconnected with those lost guitars, he deserves it
Brilliant work with the late , great brilliant , Robbie Robertson ...so cool to have 2 geniuses on the same record !
I saw brad Gillis with ozzy back then we also saw dokken before you quit the first time, but back then no way you could fill Gillis boots. Jesus even pat park was was being conceded and he was only 16
So easy to listen to
Jake didnt play great? Lol. Hes laid down some of the greatest solos of all time. George Lynch? Not so much
Tony - you are so cool and authentic! First saw you on the Shock the Monkey tour. '82. Thanks for the stories, honesty and your time! Rock on!
David Gilmour is a beautiful man
Great interview! Thanks!
Thank you very much for posting this ! In solidarity with the fighters for peace, love, justice & truth we express our feelings with music on our channel. MAGISCHES THEATER (wer nicht wagt, der nicht gewinnt): czcams.com/video/eqAQ4KbQM6k/video.html Greetings from Germany ... CLUB OF THE UNCENSORED POETS
I saw Tony with Peter Gabriel in 1982 at a show in Normal, Illinois. Great show.
I have to ask, looking like a dope, who is the interviewer?
Vai replacing Fripp???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Yea that is a heck of a job.
But no one is raising an eyebrow?
@@terrydavis5915 It was Fripp's suggestion.
@@Nickc4555 I knew that and why not. Not all decisions are artistic. I will probably will pass. I've seen both Crimsons for a total of 4 times.
The 1981 newly formed version of KC was called Discipline initially, not Disciple. Obviously it was later decided to call the band King Crimson and the record Discipline.
"we could probably talk for several hours, but people would get bored and leave" oohp.... did that come out wrong...
Not with the great Tony Levin.
Incredible guitarist.
What a total LEGEND....HYSTERICAL story about Liquid Tension Experiment!! XD And I am certain Tony is being incredibly modest and humble. John, Jordan and Mike would NOT play with Tony unless Tony was actually a virtuoso monster player.
The DT guys knows too that Tony practically *invented* catching and remembering lengthy, complex music through first listening.
@@HerrSint Yeah, which is what makes Tony's comments about the DT/ LTE guys so self-effacing and humble. XD
Wives and Girlfriends, absolute bandkillers. If you're joining a rock stars band and the wife or girlfriend is in charge or has any say whatsoever, Beware!!!
Tony myhero
Tour already!,! Life’s short
lol he wasn’t fired
shame on dio,.. i believe vivian fully!
Fender Strat, at bat all the time, brother from another...
I love that old Georgie got fired
Dude is so childlike and has youthful wonder. Even looks like an elf. What a gem and great axe slinger as well. Great interview.
Not true, Neil studied Jazz with Freddy Grubber and Peter Ernskine.
Try and Abasí with true temperament frets that are fanned and see if that is not different
Is that Nita's childhood teddy bear on the bed? 😉
Unfortunately the picking pattern cannot be observed as half the guitar is behind the table; it's the half that's treated by left hand. I think I know the pattern but for a beginner it is indispensible to know how to "pick the lick".
4:17 did he just drool on himself?
poor lost lonely banjo hanging on that wall
Soooo... i get official tabs.... but if i want to make a non-official tab with the same notation software used for the official tabs, how can i do it? Most of the tabs on the site are still in text file format, this seems silly and conversion should be possible... i could have swarn the app used to do it but maybe im thinking of another?
