Really great stuff as always! Picked up a lot of golden nugget advice for gigging!

Another interesting interview. That band sounded very different when he was let go by Mr Petty. Ferrone is a phenomenal musician. Is tithe case that most bands sound different when drummers are replaced, the groove just sits different. Like Sorum in Guns n Roses or even Jordan in the Stones touring band. Not saying any is better or worse, just different in the pulse. As a bass player you feel it instantly when drummers change in bands.

Life changing record as a 19-year old drummer. I played this album 10,000 times!

So....the "invincible" snare is a Ludwig Brass 6 1/2 inch deep with die cast hoops? What is the name of that drum today. I have loved that snare drum sound since that song was new!

You’ve left me on the edge of my seat waiting for pt 2!

Wow, this is yet another great interview,Here is that Old Grey Whistle Test performance from 1978 Stan mentioned!! th-cam.com/video/xKl8tSQFlJg/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Andy is absolutely brilliant…loved his drumming on Dream Weaver by Gary Wright 👍👍👍👍😁

Great interview!

What an amazing video of a truly amazing drummer! I've always felt like Aynsley was SO important in every band he joined-even Frank upped his game=look at the monster drummers he had from Aynsley onward (without criticism of Jimmy Carl Black, Billy Mundi and Arthur Tripp, who came before, etc) but, Ralph Humphrey, Chester Thompson, Terry Bozzio, Chad Wackerman, Vinnie Colaiuta??? Just amazing, and it all started to bloom after his time with Aynsley Dunbar (and the Underwoods)...I wish you would have asked him a little bit more about Frank and 200 Motels plus what that was like playing in front of Ringo and Keith Moon-and his thoughts on those two icons...and you started to talk about the famous Hendrix audition, but you both got sidetracked, but I would have loved to have heard his memories and impressions about that period, and what he thought of Mitch Mitchell (his would-be archived rival)

I was just playing some TP this afternoon and just having a blast on my kit and wondered what Stan was up to lately. Turns out he’s playing with Mike Campbell again!

Thanks John and Stan for his knowledge about song interpretation and musical directions!❤

Thanks John and Stan for the breakdown of his beautiful playing. It is very inspirational and educational!❤

«You tell me» is my favorite song, and has some Stunning drumming by Stan Lynch. It’s like Stan Lynch and Jim Gorden in one 😎👍🏻

Very cool!

Zane's book about Tom Petty presents an interesting take on the drumming performances on Damn the Torpedoes. Keltner seemed to be around a lot and played percussion. The HB were an unhappy bunch by 1979 for a whole number of reasons

Gary's grooves got me back into playing drums in the 70's. One of my personal drum heroes 🫰🫰🫰

Way to dangle the carrot on 'Breakdown' there at the end, John! Ready for Part II now! Great stuff!

Another great interview, John. Like so many famous drummers you've interviewed in recent years, Stan Lynch comes across as being so humble. I appreciate the nostalgia of how those iconic records were created back then, with band members playing off of one another rather than as an isolated track recorded in Pro Tools. I'm very much looking forward to Part 2. By the way, was that a vintage Ludwig kit set up behind Stan?

Stan is a hoot. What a talented, funny guy! Fantastic interview, John.

Thanks everyone! 🙏

Stan got a pocket like nobody's effing business! Dylan, Petty True Confessions Tour MSG when I first felt this. Respect!

I COULD NEVER NOT USE YOURF FINESSE. THANK YOU STAN ❤

It's always good seeing Stan Lynch. I love your channel. Thank you John.

I'm in the middle of the interview, but I had to hit pause so I could say,"Thanks, John, for this episode!" Stan is one of my all-time favorite drummers. He really made an impression on me when I saw him and the band performing on the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder in the early 80's. There's so much i can say but ultimately it comes down to Stan's feel. Like another of my favorites Charlie Watts, Stan plays for the song. So enough of my rambling just play the music and that'll tell you all you need to know about Stan's greatness. Thanks again John, incredible interview!

Beautiful episode - somehow, the true 'greats' like Gene are always about playing for the song, never about their own status or ego and seem genuinely surprised but touched by the appreciation of what they've contributed. I've listened to the Aretha Franklin track a lot over the years - it's not an easy song to play at all and I'm always impressed by just how 'right' the drums are all the way through . . .

My favorite to hear Phil play…Perfect Lover.

I still think. Andy’s drum part in Gary wrights Dream Wever is one of the best ever. Some say Jim Keltner played in that track but I’m pretty sure it’s Andy

Interesting interview…!

Eric Clapton said the Dominoes were the best rhythm section he ever had..

I have a very fond memory of getting to sit with Jim Gordon and Larry Knechtel to lay down some basic tracks at RCA B. Both were completely gracious. He was so patient as to explain to me as a non-drummer how he set up his toms to nail the Walrus fills we had in mind, Had I not been so green I should have just let him run with it.

Why did he leave the band

great interview...I was at The Orpheum show...I was 17....we drove from Western Mass with a big map book trying to navigate Boston to get to the show and we know what happens if you make one wrong turn in Boston...I think Weezer opened the show...made it home around 3am and went to school for 7am...Chad was a HUGE influence on my drumming...another great guest choice John...Thanks for posting this...I remember seeing him come out barefoot and immediately went home and started playing barefoot as well

My fav drummer of all time. Wish ToonTracks would do a Superior Drummer pack of his playing and drumkit.. That would be awesome..

Chris is such a great guy and a great drummer. Fun interview.

great interview love the live show from ‘82 New Haven ct his drumming is off the charts so much energy. That whole band was tops. His chemistry w Neil was definitely something special, brothers indeed.

One of the reasons why i love TP&H is because when you watch them play is they look like not only like friends, they look like they are your own friends.

Has anyone ever noticed the rim hit on Jose ? Is it accidental?

I love this guy. Jim, you are THE BEST! 💙🌟💙🌟

I've always liked Myron's drumming. His attack and the sound of his drums were amazing.

I met Andy in 2006 and asked him specifically whether he played quarter notes or a shuffle on Nobody Told Me. Andy replied " I cant remember ". He was very direct and adamant, Interesting that now after all these years he now remembers

WOW what a great interview....

I love this guy, Been a fan of him since I first heard of him with Mahavishnu I said wow who is this guy? I'm not just a fan, I'm a big fan now...I'm getten the book...

I miss Rick Faucher too.

I miss Hal.

Chuck Blackwell was so sweet. Jimmy Karstein too!

Jim had a half sister who had schizophrenia.

Mike Post made sure he kept Jim in prison. Jill and Amy went up against him at his parole hearings which he never attended. By the way, Jay Osmond was a character witness at his trial.

Jim took Thorazine. First generation antipsychotic. He self medicated in his own.

Amazing book !!!

Heart of glass is my definite ALL TIME FAVORITE. I Play it everyday those rolls are legendary.......I mean for me superheroic and I freak out hearing when he starts to roll when the song begins to close
