This is the ONLY CZcams video that mentions "Spectrum" and Winnie the Pooh. 🤣
What a character, and a great interview, You don't even have to ask a question, just let him go-- lol

Love Brother
SEEN HIM ON RICK BEATO'S CHANNEL AWHILE BACK. REAL DOWN TO EARTH GUY.
30 minutes in. Junior is supposed to be reading for his jc hist of jazz class. But this video is so riveting it's hard to step away!
Hall of Fame post!! Perfect. Thanks so much
OMG when he plays air drums while he talks.....this is too much for me!!! I love this bro.
I totally forgot about the Joy to the World story. Classic!
I saw Greg was hanging with John Mader Saturday and was bummed I missed seeing him...but this is great!
WOWWWWWWWWWWWW OH MANNNNNN LELAND AND GREGG this was just PURE GOLD!
Leland you have done a few of these and a couple with Drummers.......GREG.....KENNY.........You should start a separate channel called "In the Pocket with Lee Sklard doing these type interviews...PRICELESS"........and get the drummers you have had many sessions with........I know you and Russ have talked a bit but you need his history like you got from Kenny and Greg! Heck all the musicians who would like to do them with you. Oh my gosh LINDA!!!!! ANywho WHAT A GREAT SOUL GREGG BISSONETTE is!!!!!!!!! SO Cool!!!!!!! Thank You Leland and Gregg I could have watched another two hours of this. I connect with Gregg.......VH......SINATRA.......RINGO.....LELAND!!!!! What a GEM this was LEE!!!!!!! Thanks BROTHER!
😊
Nerve Bundle last December kinda made up for The All Star band cancellation! Seeing Steve and Greg playing two feet (or less) away was heaven!
How cool is this interview with Greg!! man 😂😍😁❤
Man, he is magnetic! If I had that much energy, I would explode.
Hi ya Winston, 😊
@@splashesin8 👋
Yeah, that was fun!!!!!! Musicians have the best stories!!!!
And there we have not one, but two National Treasures 🙂 I'm in Wales so I guess it's International. That was wonderful Lee.
Oh, I didn’t know about the Winnie the Pooh voiceover with Gregg Bissinette.
ADORABLE lol I met him once and he probably doesn’t remember me. He came to The White Off Room and shared the stage.
😊
🎵 Check out Rick Beato's channel with Greg Bissonett as a guest. Just loved it! 👍
🎶This Greg and Leland chat is wonderful too! 👍
👍👍. Only 8 minutes in but GREAT STORIES!!!!!
Hi M&J, 😊
@@splashesin8 👋👋
Lee and Greg, thanks again for letting us all hang with you both and hearing the stories and learning. Also as a bass player I have to agree with you, don't turn your nose up at those crappy gigs. Like you both said, you never know who you will meet. Trixy included.
Uhhhhhhh hahahahahahahaha Winnie!!!!!!!! Gregg say Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Piggggggggllettttttt!!!!!!
Oh, man... Gregg is a hoot!
Who wouldn't want to play music with him? Not to mention listen to the stories and history ..
Thanks, Lee! 🙏🏻🤍💛
Damn that was fun to watch!
awesome interaction with a stellar player and prime life force! crossed paths with Gregg when working with that other Gregg (Rolie,) in 1989. GB is a stone trip, energy-packed, and ever funquisitive - yes, that's a thing. when you deconstruct a rhythm, in order to recreate and thrive inside of it, you've unearthed a prime lode - a vital force, that's visceral and reminiscent of ritual. that's evergreen energy, and Gregg lives and breathes it.
Best episode ever! Bissonette is gold.
"Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back..?" Priceless. The dialogue between these two is so kinetic! Encore!
What a treat of a video, how enjoyable! Thank you for sharing!
Man... I just Love these stories! That's the best part of hangs! The stories, the lore the histories!
Thanks Lee! … I’ve been following Matt & Greg’s careers since their days at North Texas State (now UNT where Professor Brad Leali teaches) … then with the Maynard Ferguson band …
Lee, that was a great interview! I didn't want it to end!
I appreciate you, thank you for making content.
Greg is an incredible storyteller.
Even if he was making it all up, Id still buy it.
Well that just made my day thanks Lee and Greg
I talked to Gregg about taking lessons with him a few years ago. Life subsequently got in the way. Still hope to even do a one-off with him sometime.
I love the colors of Gregg's Drums!!!
Seeing Gregg with Lukather and Jorgen Carlsson (Gov't Mule) at the Baked Potato was a 10. Since I was with Gina and Rik (aka Mr Cohalen), it went to 11.
And I would happily listen to you two spin yarns any day. Gracias!
Wonderful Lee.High energy.
I just love this guy so much. So enthusiastic, so entertaining, and such a great player! He’s at the top of my dinner party guest bucket list (as long as you come too, Lee) 😉
This was beautiful!
Thank you Leland and Gregg. ❤
A very special treat!
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this! Thank you Leland for all these great glimpses into you and your friends' lives! Gregg is a hoot - he has so much energy!
Gregg is amazing! On a sad note, Ralph Humphrey is in hospice care.
I know. Tragic😢
I saw the David Lee Roth show in 1990 and had a lot of fun. Keep having fun Gregg.
It was Steve Vai's birthday.
Ringo plays the snare beat with his dominant (left) hand ! It is a unique feel ! The videos of Gregg and Ringo together kick royal you know what !!!! Thank You As Always!!!!
I just love special treats!!!!
Loved this😃 Big fan of Gregg's. First became aware of him when he played with David Lee Roth. So cool he gets to play along side Ringo.😃😃🥁
Gregg's a trip. Such a cool story teller. Really enjoyed this break in my day today. Thanks Lee.
Lovely Leland, a studio record ❤❤❤
❤thank you for sharing this treasure. Gregg has become a huge influence in my life. I became friends with him just before the initial pandemic shutdown. Working on vocabulary in person & in FaceTime . I never get tired of the enthusiasm and inspiring words from this man. He has made a positive impact on not only my professional music career..,More importantly my Life🎼🙏💪🎶🎶🎶🎶
So special!!! Thank you both
Leland says this all the time!!!!!!! NEVER TURN DOWN A GIG!!!!!!
Great guys, great stories! God bless the Bissonettes.
Hey there Lee and all!
Gregg is awesome! Thanks for putting this together Lee! I've been a big fan of Gregg's since his DLR days and also thru his days with Ringo!
OMG!! Cafe Cordual! My hang out for Years. ! I was so fortunate to see so many great artists!😊
I don’t want this interview to end❣️💯
Thanks so much for this Lee!!
Greg is an interviewers dream. I swear he doesn't need oxygen.
What a gem!!
What a fun dude. Love these kind of interviews
Hi Leland! I love that drummer!
Gregg is someone whose personality has also gotten him far in the business. He is irresistible with his stories.
Hi ya Mark. :)
@@splashesin8 Helloooo Audrey!
I Just Loved this Interview !! I Could listen to this guy for Hours. So Interesting and Seems like such a good person.Great Drummer-I think He Can play Anything that someone asks of him buy just trying to explain what you are looking for. Thanks Leland for a Great and Interesting Interview from such a Nice person !!
What a treat this video was!! Gregg's enthusiasm is so contagious. The video is over and I have a huge smile, so entertaining.
A wonderful talk, Lee!
This is one of the greatest videos from you Lee. So casual & intimate and with so many history and stories to share. Love it.
Super interview. Love hearing Gregg's stories and how Lee holds back his own narrative to focus on the subject. Thanks.
Most enjoyable and a reminder that a positive vibe will get you recommendations for gigs. In other words, everybody ( no matter who they are) has a door to the next level up if they feel you deserve it. If you project a downer attitude, those hidden doors will never appear.
Thanks for such an up exchange. 😁
What a treat !! Mahalo Leland and Gregg
Hello Greg Bissonette!!
Many , many times I’ve seen you drum at gigs. For years!
So happy to see this interview now.
God bless you.
The Baked Potato is such a great place m, that’s where I saw you the most!
Listening to this has been the most fun I've had in a month of Sundays! Blessings to both Lee & Gregg!
that Stevie story is unreal... this is yet another great GB interview
I truly love your long interviews.
Wow one for us drummers. Excellent video Lee and a top dude with great hair for lighting effects. The Funk 49 jam video is one of my favourites. Cheers to everyone.🙏🙃😎
Funk 49!!! 😊😊😊
Thought you would like this Steven, always good to see you here. 👍
👋🏻😊
Gregg really needs to come out of his shell,,,,
Priceless!!! Thank you, Leland!
Two absolute gems just chewin' the fat. It just doesn't get any better than this.
Was not expecting one of Lee’s videos to include ‘Roll out the barrel! What a great interlude for the day, both entertaining and educational. Thank you!
It makes sense, given his Midwestern origins. I learned the Beer Barrel Polka in utero!
@@hanspeterlillese2225 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank-you Lee, Awesome. I met Gregg after a Ringo show some years ago at a bar that was next to the event. Gregg was so kind and generous to me and chatted for a minute or two. What a great experience for me (as a drummer) This video brought back a great memory.
Who says drummers are introverts. This guy is Great.
Drummers are not introverts...so no one. lol
Neil Peart
My favorite ❤
Glad to see he still uses more than one rack tom sometimes; one of my All-Time favorites, Mr. Gregg Bissonette.
LOVE Gregg! Awesome drummer and always has great stories!
Thoroughly enjoyed this Lee.
Lee and Gregg, 2 of the greatest people ever.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I could listen to Gregg tell stories all day long!
This was amazing talk! Thank you very much Leland and Gregg👍 cheers from Finland🇫🇮
i met gregg and his bother matt in early 80's. maynard Ferguson came to near Winona Minnesota. i was playing WSU big band, concert band and we had a jazz quintet at the time. i was in nursing school at the time. we went out with gregg and his brother after the show..., ate somewhere and talked til the wee hours. i shared the "frank zappa shut up and play your guitar" LPs (on cassette, gave him mine) with him. he hadn't heard it yet. we were best friends for that evening. he is real.
his POSITiVE ENERGY is why and how he has prospered. positive force. great persona. a gift to drums and a God send as a human.
and quite a drummer. his attitude is the deal breaker. he attracts success and people and love.
Great interview. Greg is so expressive, descriptive and good at storytelling with his drums. He seems to be able to imitate anyone at the drop of a hat. Not everyone has that talent. One of your absolute best interviews. What a wonderful gift to us fans and amateur musicologist. You both are legends.
What a great interview, thanks!
Gregg was and is so inspiring to me as a drummer, mostly because of his flawless execution in so many different styles of music and his enthusiastic personality. In the mid-90s I had a private teaching gig and joined forces with a guitar and bass player to record "Friends" from Joe Satriani's "Extremist" album. We then provided mixes to our student, sans the instrument they played to practice with and then at the end of the year dragged them to a friend's studio over the space of a couple of weeks and they all recorded "their" version and then we had a massed end of year performance with 10 or 11 students of each instrument performing "Friends" together. That was such a joyful experience. None of those kids thought they could do that at the start of the year and by then end of the year they were loving performing and recording. That song was a perfect match because every part is imbued with the joyful spirit of each of those performers. I reckon Bud & Phyllis did a great job.
Leland, thanks for another wonderful time with Greg!
The joy you two bring to the 'little screen' is immeasurable.
With love and admiration always, Dave
Oh man! Lee!! Love this!!! Gregg should write a book about his endeavours in his long standing carreer!! Love this guy!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
God bless you guys! Your energies are infectious!
GREAT interview! Gregg is such a cool down to earth musician, I love hearing his stories and Lee is plain out legend. This video should have a million views by now, spread the word.
I could listen to you guys for hours! What a treat! 👏👏
Love Greg and Leland. Could listen to them for days! Greg has to be exhausted every night from his energy!
Amazing Episode! The storytelling is awesome!! Thank you for this..
It never ceases to amaze me Mr Sklar how decent ,genuine and authentic world class musicians are ! You folks could just sit on a beach or play golf or sports around the entire globe if you all wanted to ,but all I see and hear is a desire to entertain , improve and give thanks for the astonishingly high achievements everyone 's career has given we the fans . Another superb video featuring true artists .Thankyou ...
Incredible drummer...always looks like he's up for fun!!!!
That was wonderful! I had the great opportunity of playing with Gregg for a concert a long time ago. It was unforgettable. He also gave a clinic on Ringo and how great he was compositionally on the drumset for The Beatles. Thanks again Lee!
