    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.

    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.

    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. 😁

    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.

  • @JDWDMC
    @JDWDMC Před rokem +4

    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.
