I met Waddy at the Aladdin hotel in Las Vegas the night he played with Stevie on Joe Walsh Space Age Wiz Kids tour. He came out of the elevator while I was waiting for my girlfriend who was in the bathroom. I recognized him from seeing him on Stevie Nicks HBO concert. He stepped out of the elevator and I said, “Hey, You’re Stevie Nicks Guitar Player!!” He said, “Yeah”. I was about 18 and it was so cool. I said, “We are here to watch you play tonight”. About that time, the girlfriend came out of the bathroom and I introduced her. I tell you what, he was friggin cool and extremely friendly. It was a great show and I will never forget the 3 or 4 minutes he spent with me. Thank you Waddy, you gave me a extremely cool memory. God bless you brother.
We used to read the liner notes while we listened to the album for the first time. Really miss that. Always paid attention to who played and who sang backup.
Me too. He blew me away when I saw him with Linda and Andrew Gold (and Eagles and Jackson Brown) in '76. I was thinking "who is this guy with long curly hair and white Les Paul?". I got to see him in a small club with Dan Dugmore I think that same year. I just love his slide stuff.
I remember the session as if it were yesterday. So funny and so much fun. The track we had was great (Jim Keltner and Klaus Voorman) but as soon as you put the low guitar parts on it just jumped out of the speakers. Really nice that you included it in your top 5. xoxoxox rt
Saw him with Keith at The Beacon Theater in 1993. I was like - "There's that wacky lookin' guy who was with Linda Ronstadt." I ended up watching him play guitar as much as my eyes were on Keith. He has a strong presence.
It seems that with every year that goes by, 'Tenderness On The Block' gets a little more appreciated! Good to see the world catching up with Waddy, Warren, & me. Rock on Waddy!❤🤘😎🤘
Over the years I have seen on videos Waddy Wachtel play on stage with other stars, but I knew almost nothing about the man, this is the first time I have heard Waddy Wachtel speak, what a wise music man what a great player, his type are getting rarer and rarer
Don't forget Jackson. I've seen Waddy, Russ Kunkel and Lee Sklar backing up Jackson, Linda, James and Karla Bonoff so many times I've lost count. They were the 70s version of the Wrecking Crew. And at great Colorado venues: Red Rocks, Chautauqua Park and Fiddlers Green.
What a brilliant interview! Waddy giving us a glimpse behind the scenes is priceless, and he comes across as a very together, likable man. His immense talent and impact on pop music goes without saying. Many thanks.
Back in the mid-80s I was flying to Denver from Los Angeles LAX and when I'd gotten my boarding pass I turned around and Waddy Wachtel and the rest of Stevie Nicks' band was lined up behind me. I kept it cool and didn't bother them with any kind of star struck stuff but it was really a great memory to turn aound and whoa it's the Stevie Nicks band lined up behind me.
Thanks for this interview. Waddy's music meant (and still means) so much to me; especially as a kid listening for hours in my bedroom. I was so glad to hear Linda Ronstadt mentioned---this is when I first learned about Waddy. Great memories.
I remember as a teen first seeing Waddy on SCTV, playing in Joe Walsh's band on the song "I Can Play That Rock n Roll". Then I noticed he was everywhere, even going back to the Midnight Special! What a session legend. These session guys are the secret weapon of many, many legendary albums.
Dude, Wachtel is a convicted pedophile. Really. The only way he could possibly be any more of a "lovely man" is if he was dancing while in the prison communal showers as "Maneater" was playing in the background.
Really enjoyed this one! He's one of those guys I've seen on videos, recognisable with that big hair, but didn't really know much about him. Fascinating to hear him tell some great stories!
Man, what a huge treat to hear this stuff--I lived with those records in college, and they still mean a lot to me, and this guy was a huge part of all of them
My favorite performance of Edge of Seventeen is from the concert in Chicago in 2008. It’s absolutely FABULOUS!!!! I cannot sit still when I watch the video. AMAZING!!!!!!!! It’s one of my favorite live performances of ANY song!
Always loved the jaw dropping solo on Andrew Gold’s 1976 hit, Lonely Boy - pre internet so it was another 20 years or so before I discovered who played it. They gave him exactly 30 seconds, he was ready….
Andrew and Waddy also where SESSION muso"s on Linda's recording of THAT"LL BE THE DAY,, Andrew playing what was expected ..but Waddy could not help himself and improvised then Andrew decided to GO as well...listen to it. its a GEM STAY WELL
Randy Newman a brilliant lyricist! His 'biting satire' has a quality all of its own! In addition the more leftfield qualities of Warren Zevon, have been brought to the fore as well! This was another excellent interview, and as with all the others, i will be happy to revisit!!😊
I’ve watched the top five videos from Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar. What strikes me about all three of them is their humility. This makes me appreciate the work they’ve done. These guys blow me away! Is there a Danny Kortchmar top five video?
Brilliant conversation - Waddy is a total legend and clearly an insanely nice guy. Love the fact he was great friends with Leslie West back in the day and gave Leslie his Les Paul Junior - and that single pickup tone. Which blew my head off. And still does.
I have every album Warren Zevon ever recorded and you always expected to hear Wadddy. I hope to someday see him dressed in black and tossing back a shot of rye......
Why do you think he's on every Warren album through 1991 and then on none thereafter? Especially on The Wind, which is described as an "all former collaborators invited" affair, one would expect Waddy to be on it. Did the two fall out? Something is fishy. Waddy would be maybe the #1 guy I would expect to be on The Wind.
@@benmeltzer Good question. He had a bad habit of burning bridges and running people off. He wasn't the easiest person to get along with. I'd read that his financial situation was not very good at the time and maybe that played a role too?
@@jungle7315 Can you name another major collaborator of his whom he ran off to such a degree that he did not participate in The Wind? I saw Waddy play lead guitar for Warren at a benefit show in early 1998. The only thing public that happened between then and the recording of The Wind was Waddy's child porn bust. It's my only theory. Note the cross around Warren's neck during the interview from which the narration was culled for the documentary about the end of his life: th-cam.com/video/SsoL_dboJHs/w-d-xo.html
@@benmeltzer I'd forgotten about the porn thing. Maybe that had something to do with it. WZ really wanted The Wind to be a commercial success and even allowed them to play up his sickness to get publicity. Having the man who had a huge hand in helping WZ succeed and not being there for his final album suggest there is something going on. But considering how long it's been since he passed, and we still don't have a clear reason, makes you wonder if we'll ever know?
Waddy's work with Kim Carnes is what I think of immediately when I hear his name. For example, check out the music video for "Crazy In The Night" and see how Waddy's presence makes all of the difference with that song.
@@jackwezesa1081 Warren names the band during the show and you're right it was Landau. Still. Waddy had a lot to do with Warrens great and unique sound.
What a career this man has had. If Waddy was on the record, I bought it. I think one of his best solos was actually on a Karla Bonoff album, Someone to lay down beside me. Check that out. Warren Zevon’s Lawyers Guns and Money was a tune we always covered. It’s fun to let it rip, and that is how he’s always approached it. Waddy and Keith together was a real treat.
Saw Waddy play live in the Apollo in Glasgow around 1978 in the Andrew Gold band with Kenny Edwards, Mike Botts and Dan Dugmore, who were not just the support act for the gig headliner, Linda Ronstadt, but were also her backing band. He is such an awesome yet understated guitarist. Also comes across as a genuinely decent human being 🙏👍
As a guitarist and vocalist, I've always looked at Waddy Wachtel as America's version of Keith Richards. They both have contributed so much to so many songs I love.
I got to see him up close and personal at the Joint in Hollywood and of course, with Stevie at Ceasar's Palace 20 years ago. GREAT music good times. I love the stories, I could listen to them all night.
I work with a lady from L.A. who calls this guy "Uncle Waddy." She's Warren Zevon's step-daighter. I am in awe of her stories from Laurel Canyon. One of the superstars mentioned in this video "dried out" in Warren's hallway closet. My friend served them water and food for three days. The superstar crawled out of the closet, thanked her, and left. Can you guess which one? Duh.
I saw waddy at Mozambique in Laguna Beach believe it was back in 2015 with Blondie Chapman and a full band, stood right in front of him the entire set watched his flawless guitar playing and then went backstage and met him and the band Great memories nice man 🙏💥
Yeah, that "Belladonna" touring band was stellar! I can't wait to see the "Immediate Family" movie. As a Stones fan, seeing Keith and Waddy on Keith's first solo tour at the small Tower Theater in Philly was memorable.
Nighttime In The Switching Yard is my favorite song on that record. The guitar work is supreme! Newman's Little Criminals is a fantastic and vastly under rated album. Everybody should own one. I play it over and over.
He was also up for the part for Doddy's(?), brother, who dies, but they gave the part to the other guy. I think it was the drummer, Danny (?). It is one of my favorite movie from the 1970s Watch the movie. It is a quick glance at the band, and you can see him on guitar. Pretty wild.
This guy is brilliant and I never heard of him till lately. He's been responsible for quite a few hits and albums from what I gather. Did he work on Warren Zevons albums? He's a guitarist also, a damn good one. Just now researching him. Thanks for the introduction
Glad to see Waddy getting the well deserved respect.
yes, pedos so rarely get the respect the deserve...... FOR GOOD REASON!!!
I had to relisten to Short People after watching this. The slide is subtle but brilliant

really cool story
@IplayMusic2
That's 1983
You bought it-You name it
I met Joe several times 80s-90s
Also very warm and engaging
Great story
Cheers 🍷
This is just great. Waddy is the secret sauce on so many records.
Waddy’s such an amazing player. Great sense of tone, timing and melody. His work on Excitable Boy is brilliant.
One of my favorite albums!
@@joyceconnor2913 Mine too.
The old days when you looked at who played on the album and who produced it, and you tracked one person to another to another to another….
Yes!
We used to read the liner notes while we listened to the album for the first time. Really miss that. Always paid attention to who played and who sang backup.
A bygone era. ❤
Waddy has been my guitar hero for a long time, playing straight up rock since the 70's since i was a kid!
Me too. He blew me away when I saw him with Linda and Andrew Gold (and Eagles and Jackson Brown) in '76. I was thinking "who is this guy with long curly hair and white Les Paul?". I got to see him in a small club with Dan Dugmore I think that same year. I just love his slide stuff.
Another unsung hero - thanks for bringing him to the fore!
I remember the session as if it were yesterday. So funny and so much fun. The track we had was great (Jim Keltner and Klaus Voorman) but as soon as you put the low guitar parts on it just jumped out of the speakers. Really nice that you included it in your top 5. xoxoxox rt
Waddy and Russ are the pro's choice for the studio today. He plays clean....and delivers tone like a program amp. Waddy and Stevie are magic together.
Saw him with Keith at The Beacon Theater in 1993. I was like - "There's that wacky lookin' guy who was with Linda Ronstadt." I ended up watching him play guitar as much as my eyes were on Keith. He has a strong presence.
and I couldn’t go; really wish I had! great band that was.
It seems that with every year that goes by, 'Tenderness On The Block' gets a little more appreciated!
Good to see the world catching up with Waddy, Warren, & me.
Rock on Waddy!❤🤘😎🤘
"Waddy, Warren, & me." Oh, so you played on it?? Which instrument?
Over the years I have seen on videos Waddy Wachtel play on stage with other stars, but I knew almost nothing about the man, this is the first time I have heard Waddy Wachtel speak, what a wise music man what a great player, his type are getting rarer and rarer
I've always been amazed at that riff in Edge of Seventeen. Takes a lot of stamina to execute that flawlessly for 10 minutes live
It’s not horribly hard to play mate. C, D, E minor. Three notes total.
Looped
Yeah! Way hard! Only Waddy could do it!
@@SuppressiveSquirrel It's all the dugga-duggas that wear you out.
@@SuppressiveSquirrel For 10 minutes. Non stop. No one’s saying it’s complicated.
Years after the fact, I have learned that Waddy played some of my favorite riffs. He can hear it and play it.
Waddys resume is amazing
Linda Ronstadt
Warren Zevon
James Taylor
Stevie Nicks
Joe Walsh
And the list goes on
Cheers 🍷
Let’s not forget he’s in Keith Richard’s solo band..
Don't forget Jackson. I've seen Waddy, Russ Kunkel and Lee Sklar backing up Jackson, Linda, James and Karla Bonoff so many times I've lost count. They were the 70s version of the Wrecking Crew.
And at great Colorado venues: Red Rocks, Chautauqua Park and Fiddlers Green.
Carole King. June 1973. SF Civic Auditorium. Waddy was great. Carole was fabulous.

What a brilliant interview! Waddy giving us a glimpse behind the scenes is priceless, and he comes across as a very together, likable man. His immense talent and impact on pop music goes without saying. Many thanks.
Waddy is an integral part of the soundtrack that is my early life. Thanks Waddy❤❤❤
Hey, Waddy. As a drummer and as far as guitar players go, you're probably my favorite! Especially playing with the X-Pensive Winos!

Yeah agreed, was a great interview!
yes a legendary pedo!
❤Waddy Is A Guitar God! Love his playing with Keith especially ❤
Keith Urban?
@@dougdavis8986I thought he was talking about Keith Richards
Keith Richards
Love Waddy Wachtel! I thank him for helping my sweet sister and her songs!
Who is your sis ?
Thanks for this interview. Waddy's music meant (and still means) so much to me; especially as a kid listening for hours in my bedroom.
I was so glad to hear Linda Ronstadt mentioned---this is when I first learned about Waddy. Great memories.
I recently read that Leslie West credited Waddy with teaching him "how to play real guitar" and he sold West his first Gibson LP JR.
They were both nice Jewish boys from Queens, NY.
Yes indeed. @@zeeman3684
Waddy has been a steady, rock solid Genius for Years!!! Much Love and Respect!!!
I remember as a teen first seeing Waddy on SCTV, playing in Joe Walsh's band on the song "I Can Play That Rock n Roll". Then I noticed he was everywhere, even going back to the Midnight Special! What a session legend. These session guys are the secret weapon of many, many legendary albums.
The guitar solo parts on: Oh Sherry (S. Perry) and Only The Lonely (Motels) are personal favorites of mine that Waddy played!
Wow!
…were you not aware of these parts?
His solos, first and foremost, serve the song. Tenderness is a great example and the Motels tune as well..
Waddy is quite a legend to those of us who really follow music. He was the Nicky Hopkins of the guitar...he was just everywhere!
I think that over a 4 year span I saw Waddy play live with at least 3 different bands in the 70s and 80s.
What a lovely man. I gotta check these songs out now.
Dude, Wachtel is a convicted pedophile. Really. The only way he could possibly be any more of a "lovely man" is if he was dancing while in the prison communal showers as "Maneater" was playing in the background.
Buy Stevie Nicks 24 Karat Gold blu ray, he plays on that. It’s brilliant.
I was SO hoping that Eileen would be on the list...and YES! Indeed. The live video is especially great!
Great guitarist and songwriter!
Really enjoyed this one! He's one of those guys I've seen on videos, recognisable with that big hair, but didn't really know much about him. Fascinating to hear him tell some great stories!

Waddy sure has a beautiful heart .
He fosters lasting musical friendships because of his talent and his personality .
Saw Waddy a few years ago with Joe Walsh....talk about an amazing show!!
Waddy is Legend!….I think he absolutely made Keith Richard’s Expensive Wino’s,..Brilliant.X
Waddy is a rock and roll icon... An amazing musician
A career hero who, along with Leland Sklar and Kenny Edwards, showed me a career as a session musician gives a pretty great life.
With absolute sincerity, the bridge in "Maybe I'm Right" is as perfect and moving a bit of lyric writing as could be.
Guy is super underrated. Rock and roll tone forever.
I dont think you can say being a legend is being underrated.
Randy Newman a brilliant lyricist! His 'biting satire' has a quality all of its own! In addition the more leftfield qualities of Warren Zevon, have been brought to the fore as well! This was another excellent interview, and as with all the others, i will be happy to revisit!!😊

When I first heard "Werewolves of London", I just had to get the album, to find out who the guitarist was! Fan since. 🤟😎👍
Excellent guitarist. His played with everyone. 😊
Enjoy these awesome stories. A true legend
He’s been one of my favorite guitar players since I first heard him back in the 70’s
Tenderness on the Block is a great song, my favorite off that album , above Werewolves of London

Mine too
I remember seeing Waddy play for Stevie Nicks in Boulder Colorado in 1980 along with a criminally underrated John Stewart. Great show. Waddy cooked.✌️
Love that you got him talking about Zevon!
Waddy is so cool. Would love to just hang with him for an hour. Great job with the interview.
thank you waddy ! nice interview
What a story teller. What stories.
Surprising not many ppl cite Waddy as one of the greats

The greatest mercenary guitarist of all time
Waddy and Warren Zevon live on Stand in the Fire…a truly amazing sound.
I have that in LP. 8 Track. Cassette. And CD!
Waddy wasn't on the live album
@@vilveyachke5103 I think it was Dave Landau ? Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@jackwezesa1081Landau on leads with Zeke Zirngiebel on the second guitar. It is an absolutely smoking album though.
@@jackwezesa1081 Warren names the band during the show and you're right it was Landau. Still. Waddy had a lot to do with Warrens great and unique sound.
Eileen is one of the most underrated songs I think that’s ever been written
Waddy played with Karla bonoff, some of his best material.
Did not know that. So, I have been in love with him longer than I thought.
What a class act - Waddy! check out his work on Damage - Linda Ronstadt
Great interview
My favorite by far is definitely "Lost Due To Incompetence" from the "Up In Smoke" soundtrack, great jam and beautiful guitar playing
Waddy's song "Damage" that Linda sang on her "We Ran" album is great too. 😊
What a nice guy, and a guitar hero!
Great interview. Thanks

Been a fan of Waddy ever since I bought my first Zevon album and realized who he was.

Saw him in Omaha recently with Stevie Nicks. Waddy is a total badass rockstar.
I could listen to him talk music all day. Love his guitar on Nightbird!
Love Waddy's playing on Zevon and Keith Richard's Lps.. great player.
This guy has inspired me for yrs and i didnt even know it -
Yes! Maybe I’m Right is awesome!!
Waddy is ageless !!!
Waddy plays an 8 note solo at the end of Johnny Strikes up the Band on the Zevon album that is literally perfect.

Or
The jam on The Poseidon Adventure; It Has To Be The Morning After.
Wait... Waddy played guitar on The Morning After?😳🤔
He was also up for the part for Doddy's(?), brother, who dies, but they gave the part to the other guy. I think it was the drummer, Danny (?).
It is one of my favorite movie from the 1970s
Watch the movie. It is a quick glance at the band, and you can see him on guitar.
Pretty wild.
"Take It So Hard" is the best solo song from any of the Stones.
