Can somebody please give Hugo a weekly show where he bestows his musical knowledge upon us? This was great.
Came to comment the same thing. Come on @ Hugo we’d love to hear more from ya. I’ve watched this twice.
There's a great podcast called The Trap Set. Hugo is a recent guest, great episode.
@@jasonshort1437 I’ll definitely check that out! Thanks for the info.
Preach!
3:30 “I have stood in that phone box...and boy it smelled of piss”
This is easily Top 10 Best What's In My Bag? And I've seen 95% of 'em. Really.
Same here, and I totally agree!
Agreed!
Meh
Seriously!!! And as I get older and don't seem to lose my sheer passion/obsession with music, his enthusiasm at his age was an inspiration...
I'm 2 seconds in, gotta say, this is going to be good no matter what!
I got to meet Hugo once and, yes, he's as nice of a guy as he seems.
What an absolute peach Hugo is. I second the idea that he needs a show or a podcast.
Thank you Amoeba for continuing WIMB throughout the pandemic!
Hugo is a legend and a Gent. Every single person on earth should be made digest every note of GOF's Entertainment. The world would be a far better place...!
One of the greatest albums ever. And it works on so many levels.
Wow, Hugo! Incredible to hear from the man himself - talking up _Pylon_ (!), no less. Brilliant band - would be huge today. Vanessa Briscoe Hay is a hero.
Rest easy, Andy. 🖤
Love Pylon.
I love that he went to the books. I most admit I spent nearly the entire video wondering "what are those books?" Can we do a "what's on that shelf?" as well? lol
Me too.
What a nice bloke, only found Gang of Four this year. You gained a fan in 2021!
He Dj'ed the opening of my college roomates brewery in Salem mass five years ago. What a great guy ...killer drummer.
And Wilco of Dr. Feelgood was the executioner in season 1 of Game of Thrones. Great selection of records and memories.
Guy is an unreal drummer. Looks healthier than he did back in the early 2000s. Unbelievable show in Hollywood.
I found his essence rare, it's what I'm looking for! What a nice guy and a solid selection.
I was fortunate enough to meet Hugo a couple of times back in '79 and '80 at shows in New York (Irving Plaza & Hurrah!) nice guy and a true lover of music.
I was lucky enough to have Hugo as one of my professors at college. Had no idea who he was at the time. Really cool guy. Great teacher too. Wish I had the wherewithal to pick his brain at the time.
Powerhouse drummer from one of post-punk's finest.
That was excellent. Hugo needs his own show
As soon as i seen hugo from "gang of four" i knew it would be great. He didnt disappoint. He definitely needs a youtube channel
Legends.. One of the greatest bands of all time.. Andy Gill, you will be missed..
Great collection, The Gang of Four was always one of my faves even when I dj'ed hip-hop sets I would get in some Gang of Four
Wow! Those must have been crazy.
Thanks so much for doing these vids. They're therapeutic.
I always wondered what 'long shot kick de bucket' was all about - amazing!
A great drummer from a great band with excellent tastes!!
I valeted this guy's van at a hotel when Gang of Four toured around 2005. Good guy!
this is how i talk to my plants and records
I’ve seen my future thanks to Hugo and I’m okay with it. Vinyl and books...what a life it’ll be.
I love how he pulled out Pylon at the very end ...A CLASSIC!!!!!
Pylon & GOF were 2 bands cut from the same cloth, I think.
My Metal Box looks like that as well. Fortunately the music is still as fresh as the day I bought it in '79
This guy is cool. Love all of his choices. Love Go4 too
At Last Someone on "Whats In My Bag ?" Who Knows His Music And has Brilliant taste......And Plays in A Great Band.
This has to be the best episode of this series ive seen.
This is brilliant to have a hidden gem musician that is well respected and SHOW VINYL!!!!. Very cool to see Hugo deliver an inside look to who/what and why!!!
Wow had no idea Hugo was involved with Westworld. Sonic Boom Boy was a great infectious piece of 90's pop. And great video too.
HERO. And what a warm fellow to boot.
Love the whole "what's in my bag" series..Please keep doing them
What a neat guy. Stellar taste and brilliant musician.
Great band, superb drummer. His choices were terrific.
I only got into Gang of Four this year at the age of 35, looking forward to seeing them play live in London tonight 06/10/2023
I'm 34 and only got into them at bout 3 years ago
As others have said, what a sweet man, and what a fascinating and informative piece. I had the privilege of seeing Gang of Four around 1979-80, and their music has more than stood the test of time.
It would be formidable a parallel What's In My Bag series just with Hugo.
1st time seeing this guy and know nothing about his band but I'm pretty sure I want to hang out with him for several hours to talk about music and books.
one of the best episodes yet. Great person, musician and selections
One of the best what’s in my bag issues ever. Great selections
Really enjoyed this. It's the best WIMB I've seen in some time.
Hugo, thank you so much for sharing your music experience and thank you for an amazing recommendations, put quite a few records on my list 👍
So cool….thanks for the music and music history
Such a lovely, engaging interview and some fine picks.
what a selection! Brilliant
Loved this ! Gang of Four was brilliant and I enjoyed hearing Hugo speak and listen to his thoughts. From one drummer to another, thank you for your contributions musically, all the best to you!
Loved that, very entertaining. Loved and still enjoy westworld today. That first album was and is the business.so very impressed with the connection there. And that he still had the stencil all lined up perfectly too.
Totally agree with all of this praise! He had great personal anecdotes and while he is in the business, he still seems to have the passion of a fan exploring the vast world of music. The Miles Davis story is incredible. It seems as if he wanted to go on for hours talking about his collection and influences. Just as you think he is done, he moves on to some great books and then to the box sets. Awesome! We need more from people as enthusiastic and knowledgeable as Hugo. And yes, he must love him some John Irving.
Funny the way pop/rock music works. Back in the early 80s, me and my mates loved Gang of Four because they didn't look or sound anything like mainstream American bands like Alice Cooper and CCR. And now I hear GO4's drummer was into that stuff.
Right! I believe some of the Replacements members used to cover Roundabout by Yes when they were starting up LOL.
Yeah, alternative types could be pretty ideological when it came to what was cool back in the stone age. Me & my buds liked it if it had a soul. From the yardbirds, megadeth, feelies, t-rex, x-ray spex... One big tent. Thanks Hugo, for dashing an ex-punk's expectations, love the 'Coop (shhh, don't tell anyone, Idles rock too).
@@arthuraguirrejr.9500 I'm sure it was painstakingly recreated. Probably about 20 seconds long & blato as fuck.
Really enjoyed this. Gang of Four are awesome. Cool guy too. Cool seeing him showing his Pylon boxset. Absolutely love Pylon.
Thank you Hugo. It means a lot to hear you speak about things other than Gof4. You guys did great music that I'll always appriciate. Chris. x
Wow Hugo, you've got some great tastes and that was a highly entertaining look at some of it. Thanks Amoeba, for yet more awesomeness!
So wonderful to see someone who is still truly enthusiastic about music.
Bonus Shriekback mention!!!
What a great selection, from Hugo. PYLON BABY. BAYOU COUNTRY BABY. LETS GO
Very very cool
This was so enjoyable. I love it. Seems like such a great guy ☺️
Terrific picks from a man who definitely knows his music and music history. Keep on chooglin Hugo!
Thanks, Hugo! Gang of Four are a unique promontory of a band. Jutty and good!
Great collection 😍
This is probably my favorite episode yet!
Love Gang of Four, and Shriekback is a lifelong favorite band of mine also. Their show at First Avenue in Minneapolis back in the day remains one of the best concerts of my life. Great edition to "What's In My Bag."
Damn he’s one of my musical heroes. All of the early GO4 is the soundtrack of my youth. I saw them twice, first in ‘82 with Hugo. This was a great video, I’m going to check out some of his recs.
Wonderful. Thank you
Wonderful to be introduced to Hugo and hear from someone whose taste in music includes absolutely no records in my own collection. I love his articulate delivery and sincere passion.
This is just one of the great things about these Amoeba clips: we meet people we might not know and discover that there is a world of music beyond our own little world of preferences.
Now I will watch the Clem Burke clip.
Thank you Amoeba.
That was Great!.. Nice suprise.. Glad i saw him with GO4 when they reformed 2005 or so.. Cheers Hugo!
That was amazing! Thank you!
My favorite 'What's in my Bag?. I loved his choices. And his descriptions of how much each album meant to him were fantastic. Warm, down-to-earth and informative. Great person and amazing drummer.
Really enjoyed that. RIP Andy Gill.
I enjoyed that thoroughly. Give that man a show or a podcast
Great collection guy, congratulations !!
Great records! Really dug the reggae recommendations. Not really my wheelhouse but listening finding a lot of heat!
Great lad. One can tell he enjoys his music so much.
Just fantastic suggestions, thanks to him and of course ameoba record store❤🤩
This is the best one of these so far.
excellent, great speaker and entertainer, really..wow....he must have a show by his self....ty
Wonderful.
Really in awe of that original P/i/L metal box.
Great Video Hugo. Very engaging.
Drums baby plus great A&R talents...Dr Feelgood man nice...new that
Gotta be one of the best ones I've seen!
Great choices mate, love your band
That was awesome!
Great music in his bag. Totally agree with him over the band Free , magic band. Saw Gang Of Four support The Rezillos back in 1978. Amazing band
You've got great taste! 👍😀
Love Fire and Water...the classic albums box set for Free is a must buy👍
Great episode!
That was damned amazing. What a guy!
I would expect Hugo to have incredible and, extremely wide ranging mudical tastes...
Kickass
I just picked up that Bowie record. It’s so amazing!
Thank you Hugo!
You come hard with Creedence right out the gate?! I'm sold already...
Wow great timing, I have "Return the Gift" in the CD player of my car as I type this.
Gang of Four 4 Ever.
Enjoyed that! I don’t think that you saw Miles in the mid-90s...he died in ‘91.
dr feelgood!! i saw them live, was a cool concert, done a really good show.
This was amazing!
