I remember the time I interviewed the Police. Actually, they interviewed me. I had a lawyer present.
😆
Funny hearing Martin mention Dave Pegg. When I worked in radio in the ‘90s I met Pegg a few times as I regularly went to the Fairport Cropredy festival. I asked him once if he’d do an interview with me so we went to the pub. The conversation turned to famous drinking sessions he’d had and he recounted the time Fairport appeared as extras in an Oliver Reed film back in the ‘70s. They were filming in a pub - you can probably guess where this is going - and they ended up having a lock in that lasted for 36 hours. The barman made a note of whar Reed consumed - as I remember it was 75 pints and 50 shots of whiskey.
Fellow Cropredy veteran here. When Peggy put out his book, and was signing copies at Croppers, as he signed mine, he told me Robert Plant was coming that year. It must have been that Dave, Planty and myself all share a Midlands accent. Sure enough, Robert turned up and I had a little moment with them.
My oddest moment was being back stage at a Kiss concert, and I thought I recognised a lady that was hanging out there. I said 'Hello', she said 'Hi!'. As she spoke in an American accent, I realised I couldn't possibly know her. Turned out she was Diana Ross.
@@glerp10000000000 I loved Cropredy, it was the highlight of my year back then. Another wonderful memory involves Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. The two of them were wandering around in the crowd in either 1995 or 1996, I forget exactly. Roy Harper and his son Nick were on. Roy was obviously a bit worse for wear and kept having to muck about between songs, tuning up or changing a string. At one point to fill in, Nick played the intro to ‘Stairway to Heaven’ when suddenly a commotion started near me in the crowd. A long haired gent was bellowing “BOO! GERROFF!” and lobbing plastic cups stagewards. It was Plant. Page was beside him, in stitches.
@@patrickcrowther9195 That would be 1994. My favourite year. I have a recording of Roy's set and that tuning went on for an age. Nick did a Zappa song. Lindisfarne played a blinder. We got Man and Blodwyn Pig. I'm gutted I didn't see Page and Plant, but c'est la vie..
Absolutely love the weather forecast every Friday.
Pete's top 2 were monumental. I've watched both of those a couple of times each. Those two were the best! Most enjoyable video overall.
Great episode! I thought for sure Ritchie Blackmore would be on Pete's top 5 for dream interviews
Was just coming here to say that.
i'm surprised that jon anderson, steve hackett and peter gabriel didn't show up on your list of "living artists i'd love to interview. "" pete's top 2 prog albums were yes and genesis. my dream would be hanging out with robert fripp, bill bruford, and adrian belew.
Storytelling mode is the best! I loved this episode, thank you for sharing your memories!
I like to listen Martin Popoff's interviews on The Contrarians.
What a great episode.
Great Pete you got to interview some amazing musicians and Martin of course fantastic.
Would love to see Pete Pardo interviewing Axl Rose! 😂
While we are at it, he could follow up Axl with Vince Neal, ha ha
Loved hearing these stories... MORE!!
Have to agree that the Dennis DeYoung interview was epic. Probably the best rock interview that I've ever seen.
Totally agree, I'm actually going to put it on once I'm finished watching this! 😅
@@keith.tdublin3268 yeah I've watched the two-parter more than once. just the entertainment value is priceless. like watching a great rerun you know what's coming but you still want to see it.
In the early 2000's I arrived in NYC after a 3 year journalism internship at the Miami Herald. The Queens newspaper wanted a local feature, so I decided to do a Ramones article. I managed to track down Marky Ramone at his girlfriend's apt in Brooklyn. He talked to me for over an hour how Joey wrote the lyrics, Dee Dee the melody, and Johnny the licks. I taped the interview over the phone with my old school Sony cassette recorder. Somehow another story came up immediately after and I accidentally taped over the interview.
Great.
Thanks!
You guys are just amazing. Such great content.
Have to agree that the Dennis DeYoung interview is epic, watch a couple of times. Probably the best rock interview that I've ever seen and your talk with Mike Portnoy are also fantastic
Pete's interview with Frank Marino was, for me, the best interview. Frank was so generous in his responses and very interesting with his views on the music business.
Speaking of Mike Portnoy, one of my favorite 'Sea of Tranquility' videos is from The Monster's Den, where you guys talked about your favorite Brian De Palma films. Such a cool dude that loves music and movies!
What I took away from the Dennis DeYoung interview was how someone so eccentric could be such a big picture guy. He asked Pete about his wife and how long they had been married. Dennis himself has been married to the same woman for 53 years. I just thought to myself man this guy knows what's really important in life and anyone who's been married for a long time knows how big of an accomplishment it is to be in a successful marriage.
I was struck by how different DeYoung looks and talks these days. It's not just that he's older; he just seems like a totally different person.
Funny it's not an Interview, But a Mind-blowing Moment. My wife and I went to North Carolina for a Vacation Last Month. And we went on a Sight Seeing Boat tour . just a little Boat for about an hour less then 25 people on board... Get on and Sitting Directly across from me was The Great Robert Plant 👀😮also had one person with him I guess A Band member! he had a Show that night with Allison Krauss we found out after .. But I really did not want to bother him, So I flashed him a Thumbs up and he Gave me a Wink and Knod Back! WOW MIND blown! also I Did grab a Sneaky Picture!🤣
I remember in a previous video Pete's story about Wendy O. Williams carrying him around on her shoulders. Not sure if he was interviewing her, but still a fun story. And yeah, Dennis DE Young even appeared on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, and even I (someone who isn't a Styx fan AT ALL) found him great and very entertaining on it.
yeah, that was way back in 1986 or 87 when I was in college working for the campus TV station. My first ever interview...totally forgot to mention that one.
Good premise! Would love to hear Alo on this subject.
The David Coverdale interview was very special , too.
I'll never forget that epic interview with Dennis DeYoung. I remember he made fun of Pete's hair. 😅
Great show guys. Really enjoyed the stories 😊
Awesome episode guys! Great stories, always look forward to Friday's at the Fun house haha thanks again guys!
It was always great when Mike Portnoy was on the SoT panels. The double album show was awesome
My favorite was Pete’s interviews w/
1. Rob Halford
2. Steve Morse
3. Uriah Heep’s Mick Box
4. Mike Portnoy
Thanx for the shoutout Pete !
Great video!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Wendy o Williams interview Pete. This would be a perfect episode for Chris Alo.
Good stories, I would've explained to Newsted that the sweater was in honor of the Katorz album cover and the song "Red my Mind" which is track 6 on the album
Hi Pete, two of your finest shows on this channel have been with the legend that is Mike Portnoy, the double album episode and my absolute favourite the monsters den David Lynch films episode, please try to get him on again as the two of you together is an absolute pleasure to watch.
He's been way busy touring, but he'll back as his schedule permits. I think we've had him on at least 8 times so far.
the Dennis DeYoung & Carmine Appice interviews were memorable
Pete, the Steve Lukather interview was great but the Dennis Deyoung was a classic!
Don't forget Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. I'm sure those dudes would be cool to interview.
It's got to be the two-part Dennis DeYoung that is got to be one of the greatest interviews not just on sot just showing what a character Denny is.
He always tries to make you feel comfortable when you interview him and not uncomfortable
Infact Just sat down the other day and watched it again and laughed just as hard like a great rerun
that and lukather.
Also the Rob Halford interview was amazing
@@brucybabyy7355 oh yeah Luke is a legend.
@@tylerpatterson4787 yes indeed the metal God was a fantastic one too.
If any of the SoT interviews that took place right here on the channel are included, I'll be surprised if the one with Dennis DeYoung doesn't get mentioned. The guy was a riot!
I'm from the Chicago area. Regarding Dennis Deyoung - there's a Chicago accent ?? 😄
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are still around.
Met Mike Pourtnoy at a club with Adreline Mob lovely man
Martin, a reminder: Joe Boyd. Btw, I heartily recommend Richard Thompson's 2021 memoir Beeswing. Fairport were definitely no slouches when it came to beverage consumption!
Korpiklaani and Finntroll can definitely drink 🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Pete, didn't you mention once that Wendy O. Williams carried you on her shoulders during part of an interview? I remember you telling something about that, haha.
I wonder why he even interviewed her if he is not even a fan of the Plasmatics?
I thought it was Chris Alo who talked about interviewing Wendy.
I could be wrong.
Yeah, that was me back in 1986 or so when I worked for the TV station at college. My first ever interview.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Wow what an initiation and way to start your career!
Guys, BOB DYLAN!!!!
Pete, how about trying to get Ivar Bjornson on here? I figure he'd be pretty get-table since Enslaved isn't super huge or anything.
I saw Anthrax at The Phoenix Concert Hall in Toronto back in 1998. Great venue and Anthrax put on an amazing show back in the John Bush days. That was the first time I met the band and got a killer show poster off the wall inside the venue. They did an amazing cover of the song Black Sabbath. I love both Joey & John eras BUT their live shows back in the 90’s were so much better. They were so exciting live. They’re still good live but much more boring as they continue to only play the same dozen songs lol they really need start switching it up again.
I'm surprised at low the numbers a lot of SOT videos get when musicians are interviewed.
Yeah, it’s perplexing
You could argue that a lot of the artists interviewed are from niche bands , even within the framework of SOT.
If I'm being honest I'm not surprised at all. I really love this episode. But than again I could watch a 2 hour video of these 2 reading 1950's readers digest magazines. Just the best !!!
@@andrewcarr5923 Well, I don't consider Dream Theater, Primal Fear, Helloween, Alcatrazz, Haken, Planet X, Carmine Appice, Pat Travers, Nektar, UDO, Symphony X, etc. all that 'niche' among the SoT framework, and all these interviews severely underperformed compared to videos of myself or panels talking about the music of these artists. I just don't understand why people show no interest in listening to the artists themselves talk about their music.
@@seaoftranquilityprog I suppose it depends on personal taste, all of the artists you have listed are top drawer but you could argue that their not as well known/popular as your Metallica's or Maidens, a good example would be your album reviews which generally get between one to three thousand views whereas your Metallica 72 seasons is currently at thirty thousand, it doesn't mean that Metallica are better than any of the great artists you have listed just more popular be it through their music or longevity.
Did you ever interview members of Yes or ELP?
Or king crimson,Tull or Asia?
You were wondering why you don't get the views on your artist interviews, and it struck me that my reactions to seeing interviews posted is first and foremost, trepidation! A couple reasons - one, watching an interview can be uncomfortable. I'm usually worried that the interviewer is going to ask dumb questions and annoy the artist, and then it's gonna get awkward, and, two, the artist is gonna turn out to be an asshole, or unlikable, or boring, or a disappointment as a human being. I have actually ignored TH-cam interviews of my favorite musicians simply because I get too much anxiety wondering what to expect. A lot of these guys have been my heroes my entire adult life - I've put them on a pedestal and I don't want them to fall off. For example, I finally forced myself to watch a Jon Anderson interview by Rick Beato about a year or so ago. I've been listening to Yes since I was twelve years old, and I've heard good and bad things about Anderson over the years, even on your Hudson Valley Squares, so I was full of trepidation about seeing him interviewed. Turns out he was a good guy and a good interview. But I found it hard to enjoy the session because I was so worried something awkward was gonna happen. I wonder if anybody else feels the same way? Maybe I'm too uptight, lol!
Im really surprised at the lack of one name. Has Martin never interviewed Ronnie James Dio?
Yes, a bunch of times - we only had ten. My fave Ronnie was the last one, because it was in person, with Heaven and Hell plus the rest f the bna d all there too.
You can't get drunk with Corona beer...c'mon!!!! 🙂
i bet McCartney appreciated not being asked Beatles stuff
I think you might get a better chance of interviewing one of the greats if you don't talk about their music but someone else's
Well, in 90% of all cases, they are coming on SoT to talk about their own music/new album/new tour...
Does anyone really care Pete?? The channel really needs an upgrade.
Whatever philjones45 is, it needs to go elsewhere and leave this channel to those who enjoy it.
WTF YOU GOING ON ABOUT?
You know what nobody really cares about Phil? Your comments...go away. Your obvious dislike for everything we do here and crying about in the comments has gotten real old.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist This comment suggests to me that you and Phil maybe the same poster under two different guises, please correct me if I'm wrong and explain why you would defend someone who appears to thrive on negativity.
@@andrewcarr5923 Andy I didn't
I'm talking about Philly boy
That was me looking at his comment and saying what the fuck are you going on about
