- "No matter your degree of success you're always aspiring. You're aspiring to play better. You're aspiring to do your own thing." ... a profile of our time with Max & Jay Weinberg in the legendary Studio A of Avatar Studios in Manhattan (formerly known as The Power Station) where Max had recorded drums on Bruce Springsteen's The River and Born In the U.S.A. albums. Get a taste of their distinctive styles and how drums has been a bonding force in their relationship.
Dad plays jazz, son plays metal... So poetic
Dad plays rock with the E Steet Band.
@@ivanbenkobergera5691 He may play rock music, but Max is definitely a jazz drummer.
@@tomloeper8933 he has said on more than one occasion that he is a rock drummer. He has also played rock all his life. Another thing is that he is a musician who competently plays anything and ... loves jazz. In addition, his great reference was Buddy Rich, so it is normal to see characteristics of jazz, but in rock.
He is first a drummer and a musician (forget about styles and labels). First you must learn to play the instrument (execution technique, reading, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, improvisation, ...) then the repertoire comes, which must include different styles and rhythms (jazz, blues, soul, funk, rock, Afro Latin Grooves, etc), to enrich you, have tools, and ultimately become a versatile musician capable of facing any musical context. Young people who like rock and metal and start playing the drums or any other instrument, do not worry about learning to play the instrument first or to be musicians (a very superior word), they only want to play rock songs and metal, they do not follow a logical progression.
Two genres that are more alike than different.
I grew up watching Max Weinberg from the Conan O'Brien show. And i am surprised to found out that his son is the current drummer of Slipknot. Damn. Like father like son.
I remember an episode of Conan where Conan asked Max what he did over the weekend. And Max answered that he went to Ozzfest with his son, I believe, and mentioned the bands Mastodon and Lamb of God. Conan burst into laughter like "wtf are those band names".
I love that you grew up watching Max on Conan when he’s been Bruce Springsteen’s drummer for 45 years. Lol
@@jimdemassi8788 Considering Max started playing drum on Conan's show in the early 90s then yeah he did watch it you fucking idiot
@@jimdemassi8788 That's true for a lot of us I think haha. I like Springsteen but I'm too young to have been a fanboy, meanwhile Conan was Late Night right when I was watching like crazy and Max was a huge character for him, so that's how I know him too lol
David Baillie fucking idiot? Really? Have you been dropped on your head douchbag? I wasn’t making fun of the guy, was actually laughing at how old I must be and how generational something can be. Grow the fuck up jerkoff! Not everything has to be a keyboard battle ya child!
Jay's Girlfriend: Hey.. you want to come over?
Jay: Nah I'm playing drums with my dad.
That’s such a wholesome response I don’t think his girlfriend would be mad XD
Jay’s girlfriend: my parents aren’t home
Jay : well mine are
The Best Excuse
Best dad ever...
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Now we need to see Max play with Slipknot
Mr.Monkeyman omfg yes!!!
Max is a jazz drummer
+Bob Ross so is Jay xD Jay can play any genre. And although Max probably won't be able to play Slipknot stuff, the joke is funny
I could see Max play a song like Snuff, though
max can easily play slipknot stuff
No rock star pose, so natural, a humble speaking and looking guy, not far from Joey Jordison's vibe, he deserves to be slipknot.
@@jackshittle really?
Didn't really find much except the chick lead singer of his last band talking some shit and then say she was kidding. Then said a couple of hypothetical stories that I guess she is saying happened, but I guess to not get into a bunch of legal shit said never happened. None of the stories were that bad I mean maybe a bit egotistical but he is the son of a famous drummer for one of the biggest bands ever. I don't think it sounds like he is some guy who is just completely ridiculous and impossible to deal with. I'm sure if he was he wouldn't have lasted this long in slipknot
@@jackshittle except for the fact that he's not near as interesting or good as Joey
@@behindthen0thing525 Oh ffs "JoEy iS bEtTeR" wtf is the point of saying shit like that Joey isn't suddenly going to come back because some random guy on the internet said so you get it? HE ISNT FUCKING COMING BACK FFS
I liked Joey but for whatever reason he isn't in the band, it sucks but people should get over it. Jay seems like a n alright dude I'm sure if he wasn't he wouldn't last long in a band with 9 members
As a guitarist, I think my biggest dream in life is to raise a child who one day not only plays the guitar, but plays it better than me.
Amen!
Two completely different styles, you simply cant compare them. Both brilliant in their own way.
Shock_Value_96 exactly
Have to disagree. Jazz takes a lot more dynamic ability than metal. I could listen to jazz drumming for hours, and metal drumming for about 2 minutes.
Jay is definitely not a "brilliant" metal drummer!
@@crackedbrainOG No metal drummer is Brilliant.
@@christopherseymour5210 All music takes more dynamic ability than metal
Jay really kicked ass on the last Slipknot record though. A Grade drumming for sure. So much power.
Well Jay actually didn't play on The Gray Chapter.. it was all Clown who did the drums, they weren't part of the band just yet and Corey and the guys felt more comportable to do the stuff themselves
are u crazy dude? clown isn't a drummer with skills to play songs like slipknot, clown played the beginning of 'Goodbye' and the beginning of 'If Rain Is What You Want'
*Thlipknot
lol i dont think so man
Patrick Olivier C. You must be a die hard Joey fan
Max is such a humble person, here's one of the greatest drummers of all time saying "he's a way better drummer than me " about his son . You guys are awesome .
I thought that said horrible at first
Yeah, Max is being a sweet dad but his precision, stick control and dynamics are something you can hear Jay doesn't have. On the flip side, if Max hasn't studied his blast-beats or double-bass marches, then Jay's got him licked there.
5:43 what a compliment to receive from your own father...
Max is so humble, love to see it. So talented, but just loving the heights his son has taken things. Proud dad moment.
Jay looks so pure for Slipknot. But oh boy when he puts on the mask.
Max drumming is fantastic. You can see his skill and experience so much just by these short clips!
This is so neat. What a great father… you can feel the bond. Every dad dreams of moments like this super cool man. rock on dudes!
This just confirmed my love for Max 100%. Great drummer AND human being.
Something so cool and beautidul in this thing! thumbs up!!
I get choked up watching them here-they have such a deep connection. Many great musicians have respect for other greats, regardless of genre.
I met Max going into a restaurant in NYC, and he couldn't have been nicer. Terrific gentleman.
That's so nice to hear. He seems lovely!
Now, Jay looks like a mix of Jesus and Seth Rollins..
CR7TheGunner same person.
CR7TheGunner wow holy shit he does
but Seth Rollins, himself, IS cross-fit Jesus... soooooo
He what?
LMAO
Jay freakin Weinberg
"We'll start with these couple hundred songs, then we'll add some more"
...
"Ok Boss"
You don't have to be a musician to enjoy this video. Seeing father and son, knowing their journeys and seeing their success is truly amazing. Max seems like an awesome Dad to let his son carve his own way and support him at every step. You can appreciate the fact he doesn't live in his fathers shadow and continues to excel. Any father wants more than anything than to see their boy become something greater than they ever dreamed. My son is still young but i want to be able to back him as he becomes the man he is meant to be. On the other hand, when it comes to music, my daughter is aspiring to be a, in her words, a "metal goddess". Tears of pride, my friends. Tears of pride.
I so love the father/son thing. Kinda taught my son to play guitar. However he quickly caught on and moved WAY ahead of me.
Now i've been playing drums for 50 years,so as he grew up he wanted to play drums too. So i bought him an electronic kit for his 22nd birthday.
Now he's 23 and i'm 63. I haven't heard him play yet. (Pa,FL) but i'm sure he's awesome as well.
Love this shit!!!
My dad and I are 4 generation worth of guitarists from Great GrandFather/dad/sons/cousins/nefew(2) at Least around 12?
I've always liked Max's drumming but his playing here was even more off of the chain. He's damned good. Jay is a killer rock drummer. My oldest son is wanting my kit setup so he can start playing. I have to clean out the storage building so he can wood shed in the storage shed. I'm looking forward to it so we can enjoy this part of our relationship.
such a great dad. definitely a factor to Jay's success.
What an amazing story. Mine was that my father played around me for a couple years at somepoint but would never let us touch his drums.... He hasn't drummed since then and I have grown into a man that continues to share and grow my passions with everyone around me.
Never mind max on the drums, if he did an audio book, I’d listen. Has a really resonant clear voice
I love that Max didn't make him learn his style. He knows that you can be a great drummer in several different styles. Also, the look on Jay's face when Max is talking about his accomplishments is adorable
I wish that I had that bond with my Dad. You are lucky!
I know ,my dad and I both play guitar but we really never bonded over it,but still 43yrs later I'm a little EVH and he is Chet Atkins🎸
Had a huge smile on my face watching this. Beautiful. ❤
"Bruce gave me a COUPLE HUNDRED SONGS",
I like The Boss, but come on...the songs aren't 300 note pieces like Slipknot songs.
Pretty tame. On drums at least.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah... Most of Springsteen's stuff is 4 on the floor rockers. But, still. 200 fuckin' songs is a lot of songs, man!
Lol. I heard a similar thing said by miley cyrus. She was to sing with Madonna the next day at short notice. So she learned her songs. Yes, all her songs. In a night.
"We'll add more later."
Max hits so hard and so fast even now. I have seen him live and he is amazing. From the small drum kit to the big kit that Jay has.
They are both so good
Father and son. This is an excellent video. Thank you, Guitar Center!
Oh, dude. That first call and response between son and dad really set the tone for me. Max's refined musical feel and taste to Jay's musical technicality. Excellent contrast! I love this video!
Two amazing talented men!!
Saw my first Bruce Springsteen show with Jay filling in on on drums for dad. I was blown away. Not only by Bruce obviously but I was mesmerized by Jays playing. Incredible experience all around.
Too cool! They both seem so proud of one another. Such a great video!!🤘
Love to see Max so proud of Jay's accomplishments, that's the love of a Father to his son.
So much love oozing into the recording room.
I have a 4-year-old son and he plays way beyond his years.
I hope he's going to be a successful drummer than me.
Like these Father & Son Combo of Weinberg's!
You rock!
Saw Jay filling in for Max on a live video and he did awesome. Watching Jay playing the drums on Badlands was incredible.
I love how proud Max is of his son. It is super obvious. Loved this vid!
What a great video. It is so inspiring and beautiful to see a father and a son dividing the same passion and following the same carrear.
This reminds me a ton of me and my dad. He taught me drums and played big band/jazz for 40+ years. I learned on that and then branched off into metal. Shout out to you, Dad. I love you.
Imagine how proud he must be of jay. To have a kid that betters you in your career is a dream
Superb!
I played drums back in Ireland for ten years in my dads band playing all over Ireland in many different environments . Best time of my life! I learned to be on time on and off the stage
I saw Jay play with Slipknot, and met him at NAMM a few years back. He's a world class mensch, drummer, and ambassador for the instrument. Love him on, and off stage. Max has every reason to be a proud father!
Dad is a living legend. Son is on the way. Two incredibly humble, genuinely wonderful human beings here. The apple definitely did NOT fall far from the tree here....and in this case, the world is blessed in so many ways because of it.
This is absolutely amazing. Wish it was longer. The history and genre gap is unbelievable. Music and rythm is in the blood, no doubt.
I love to hear Max talk about how much better Jay is. I think fathers around the world strive for this wether its drums or Music or whatever. Well done.....
This is how sons show love to thr fathers. Lots of respect from son to father.❤️
“Bruce gave me a list of a couple 100 songs & we’ll add more”… 🤣
This is just awesome!
#insane
Max plays for the song and Jay sets the song on FIRE and makes it come alive !
I see two distinct generations, two distinct styles and respect between the two. Awesome
Max is not just a father, he's a real Dad.
Right? You are there everyday to see their personal lives. I believe everything I see.
i love jay weinbergs style! just seen him last nite at dte! awesome show, couldnt keep my eyes off him while he was playin!
Jazz and metal gel....very much so. Love this duo. Grew up on Conan and Max...and at the same time Slipknot...so now that Jay is there in Knot, he's part of the Maggot's for sure now. Love that. He's earned his stripes. 🤘🤘
Max has had a wonderful career playing drums.The man could play.So glad his son decided to play drums as well.
I think as parents we always want to see our children do well in whatever path they take. If it’s the same path, we want to see them do better than us that way we can revel in their accomplishments...then we take a little pride in knowing that we planted a few good seeds. A mutual respect here..the son is grateful for his father’s influence, the father is proud of what has turned out well for his son.
LOVE IT!! The classy intro sets the stage for the whole video. So amazing
Would've loved to see the reaction when the drummer for bruce springsteen had a son who ended up drumming for slipknot
Really awesome to see how proud his dad his and how much fun they both have playing the drums.
Max sellin himself short is the best part. Most underrated chops in the business.
You can just feel how much they love each other, and it's a really good feeling.
This is one of my very favorite video's, I cant count how many times I've watched it either, watching them talk about eachother is amazing and fun!!! I'm a fan of them both, being 56yrs old I love Max's work as well as Jay's, I am after all a maggot too!!! I also think I even share this video everytime I watch it too!!! Not sorry, more like ur welcome!!! 🤭🥁🥁🤟🤟🖤🖤🤘🤘
Warms my heart! Father and son. Beautiful
Watching them together gave me all the feels. This was so good.
I grew up watching Late Night with Conan with my dad, and Slipknot is and forever will be my favorite band. When we all found out Jay was the new drummer for Slipknot, omg, that, that was very interesting.
God, Max is so funky. Fills the space around him with airy, head-nodding rhythm. And I liked Jay before I even knew he was a different drummer in Slipknot :P
This was cool, I like seeing things like this, cause music really can be a huge bonding experience for families. I just recently, ( well, the past few years ) got my family and I into playing and creating music together, and I wish I had done so from the moment my first was born. Seeing the look on my kids faces when we get a "song" that comes out of nowhere, while we're just messing around and jamming, is absolutely priceless.
tye subtle differences between max and jay’s style are so interesting. max uses K’s, Jay uses A’s, Max uses Remo heads, Jay uses Evans heads, Max uses DW, Jay uses SJC, etc. Max is a legend and Jay is such a beast! I had no idea his son was a drummer as well!
Max is so proud of his son, it got me a little emotional tbh hahaha
This is the most wholesome thing ever
Max has been as steady as a rock and carried the beat for thousands of concerts over 45 years. That takes something beyond talent. Hopefully his son can have a similar career.
Love Max.. One of my all time favorite drummers.
Came for the drumming.
6 minutes later, cried for the family bonding stories. A bit.
How cool is this, like the Griffey’s playing baseball or Earnhardt’s in daytona. Max has to be in 7th heaven. Their drum battle at the Guitar Center show was probably the best of them, imo
Tear jerking stuff... love it. Absolutely love it.
I had the biggest smile on my face throughout this whole video
Max is top class. And so is J. Absolute showmen. God bless.
This is such a heartwarming video
I loved that it was great to watch 😁
Great video awesome to see both great drummers
I had no Ideia Max was his son... holy shit, that's just awesome
Max Weinberg is tortilla man, fight me!
Pr3d4t0R6sic6 I fucking knew it! Its the vocals that gave it away for sure
No, i think his girlfriend is tortilla man
(Hey no one woosh me)
Tortilla man has already been reavealed
@@kord_smells yeah it's max weinberg
Poblo Fransisco
Since Jay stood in for Max with the E-Stree band, I would love to see Max Weinberg stand-in for Jay in Slipknot 😂
They're masters of the most technical genre of their individual eras. That's so freakin sick
Max just has those chops that come with time. Super clean. The dude can swing.
I had learned that Max Weinberg was featured in the party scene in the movie directed by David Chase called Not Fade Away . In the seen this band was going to play at this party but their lead singer choked on a roach so they were about to leave but then the drummer hopped on the microphone and they had somebody at the party sit on drums for them and that somebody just happened to me Max Weinberg
I miss the Conan O’Brien Max Weinberg 7. That was one tight group!
I like Max. You can see it in his controlled dynamics. Being loud and quiet at will is important.
Jay is so blessed to have a dad like Max
Thats a proud Papa right there. Both of these guys are great.
excellent video. Such a proud Dad
I enjoyed seeing Max Playing on Conan's show when he had the Max Weinberg 7 band.
this is beautiful
amazing father and son drummers
I saw Jay play at PinkPop and was absolutely blown away
Niiiice, max plays the same ride I do.
I don’t know why but I always get a sense of satisfaction seeing drummers with the same cymbals. Snares and shells aren’t the same. I think it’s because cymbals are a color choice. They’re detail oriented choices that express your musical personality in a way that shells don’t.
Maybe it's a fetish?
Jay is a natural. I mean few years of playing seriously and being that good wow. It must be genetic
I'm GenX - loved Springsteen and I love Slipknot. What a great passing of the baton between these two outstanding drummers.
No doubt!
Teach him the Bat out of hell album! Great drumming on that album by Max
One of the best Dad/Son stories ever.
damn such a great video. i could watch a movie about just this topic. great job
