Oh wow that’s awesome man - I loved the “Overdose” record from you guys 🤘 Will be fun to dive more into the MW catalog at some point, maybe a special episode in the future
@@doodlereview Sadly, I have to correct Gene, he said we were all junkies when he left the band but I never touched junk and didn't have problems until a few years later with the band. I'd be able to offer tall tales about the last 30 years of working in Switzerland that includes tons of QOTSA stories getting them their first gigs here. Let me know how to get a hold of you.
So awesome to hear the Rated R days, everything man. Thanks for the Go With the Flow story too! and did Gene really play all of Millionaire? as you can tell I like that song haha
What a pleasant guy! First time I heard about Gene was when I really got into Eagles of Death Metal some time around 2007. Also, didn't realise I've experienced such a rare moment in Josh's musical history, when he was on UK tour with eodm with two drummers throughout the whole set!
Super cool interview, Gene told me he was doing this, so, I had to watch :) and I've have subscribed to your channel too. I was his drum tech on the European/UK 2000 tour. what a fun time that was
Oh man that must have been a rad time - does that include the run they did with Goatsnake?? Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed, Gene was real class. More interviews to come
Nice one! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it - agreed, this is one of my favourite eras of the band, something special about that turn of the millennium time!
2000...the Queens with Gene is my favorite era of that band...when they played more slick and smooth less low and slow...songs like "Regular John" "Rickshaw" and "Monsters In The Parasol" benefited from Gene's "garage rock" rhythmic stylings...that stiff robotic catatonic Neu and Can influence came out in their playing...as much as I love the Fredo era, the Grohl era, all of it...the Y2K QOTSA will always be my favorite...
I love this take, and think you might be right. There's something about the psychedelic outsider weirdness of the band in this era that gets overlooked next to the bombast of what would come later. I love it. Thanks for watching...
you know what? I KNEW as soon as I said that, it was a big call and I'd get proven wrong - I thought I might have been cooking with that factoid 😂 still as far as I can remember it at least didn't seem to be a setlist staple in that short time which is interesting.
Gene and I played together for a few years in The Miracle Workers, great to hear all his stories! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah Gene played on Millionaire on ‘Deaf’ - he also played on the OG version that was on Desert Sessions ! Big up Gene 🤘
Great interview, so cool to hear Gene's side of the story. Would love to hear more from the Queens guys
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah there are so many people in the family tree, would be great to hear more from them. I bet “The Droid” has some stories…
This was fantastic. I especially liked Gene's insights into Hutch's machinations with low-budget lighting and visuals. Gives me ideas.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! The more I hear about Hutch the more the legend grows in my mind! What a guy...

Yeah Gene was a legend, very accommodating! Very jealous you saw the two drummer Eagles set up! Something I’ve missed every time I seen them

@@doodlereview I really can't remember the support bands name, But Joey Castilio was the drummer. and yes it was fun times :)
Ahh Joey C! Legend as well. Awesome stuff man 🤘
Great interview. Came across super honest and got some interesting insights from maybe my favorite era

@@doodlereviewwell worded!
Grohl played "Go With The Flow" with QOTSA in NYC May 2002 at The Bowery

@@doodlereviewyeah right :) one and only time ever ;)
Great work, it’s always so interesting & inspiring to learn more lore about the QotSA-verse. Looking forward to the Secret Machines interview!
Cheers my man! Hopefully a lot more interviews to come!
Wow, great interview! It's so cool to hear all of these stories first-hand. Gene is such a cool guy.
Agreed, Gene's a total legend. Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching 🙌

Thanks so much, appreciate you watching!! 🙏

Truly a good dude / top bloke
