Early-mid 90’s. Salem, Oregon. Summertime show. Outdoors. There to see Robert Plant. In the parking lot: drinking, smoking, “preparing” for the show. The opening act kept playing song after song. Was pissing us off. More drink, more smoke. Never saw a single song of their set. Arrived for Robert. The opening act? The Black Crowes. God, the 90’s were fun!
Those guys were so damn good and in a time that did not favour their style. What they did was amazing in my opinion. The live footage speaks for itself. One of the very best American bands ever.
wow on all these haters....CRB freaking rocks - just caught them live...mind blowing. ...seriously, do yourself a favor and check them out ....the Black Crowes were great, but it ran its course...let it go and enjoy the next 20 years of kick ass music. Ask yourself too, if you have a lick of creativity in you, would you want to be doing the same thing night after night for 20 years? Rock on Robinson brothers....both of ya...however you need to get it done!
I tried man. Chris just doesn't have the heaviness Black Crowes had with Gormans drumming and Robinsons riffs and that's what matters to me. He's a phenomenal singer. But I don't think it's all that different than when Robert Plant went solo in the 80's, it just lacks oomf and great songs (only Plant DID suck vocally after). Does anyone care about Scott Stapp outside of Creed? I don't even know the name of Liam Gallagher's band. A singer without truly great songwriting is no better than every pop tart in the world trying to get famous. For Crowes and Zeppelin. You have to have a heavy drummer and great riffs. Neither are there for CRB. It's a tale as old as bands. Singer leaves because he thinks he can write songs just as well, and the music suffers, and no one cares. Sting is about the only exception because he was a singer AND songwriter. But? His shit doesn't rock the same. What's missing? That special drummer. Singer, Songwriting, Drums. If they're all good you have every truly great band you can think of. Take one away and the house of cards crumbles.
Loved Black Crowes in every way. From him stopping music for a incident in Toronto Canad, saying he felt like making love to his singing and interruption not appreciated. To renting a bus with all my friends. Bless you Mr Robinson. Baby here I am...
I'm completely stunned to hear him say the Black Crowes didn't give him joy. How does a person perform so soulfully and so masterfully unless he's taken up in bliss? Could he be suffering from depression and viewing the past through gray-colored glasses?
There's a storyteller session from 1996 where he talks about the anxiety he suffered through a lot of the previous tours. Listening to his lyrics one can see he was a bit of a troubled person emotionally. It feels as if outside the BC he's able to move on from that early era of his life. He sounds really chilled now
You know, I never inferred that from his lyrics. It's there, you're right, I just figured most people (artist-types, especially) have emotionally troubled experiences to draw from. But that could explain it. I'll see if I can find and watch that session. And whatever keeps him grounded and happy is a good thing. Thanks for your reply!
He may be bitter, but take it from a touring musician, he experienced things no one on the outside of that band will ever fully understand. We all experience things about the bands we’re in that wouldn’t be understood by people not in the band. They all have the right to be bitter about what they experienced if that’s how they feel about it. However, I gotta agree more with the first two people. It shows in his writing and drug use that it wasn’t all fun and games. Sounds more like the bitter one called himself out in these comments. You either really feel the need to live so much so in your own past that you expect others to stay in theirs simply to satisfy you, or you were never a fan to begin with, meaning you’re just trolling around TH-cam projecting your own misery into other people’s conversations for attention. So which is it? Don’t get me wrong, If you were a fan, I understand the frustration that comes with realizing a band you like will never release anything ever again. But so much so you’re willing to put yourself out there with no internal knowledge as to what really happened there, so much so that you’d resort to calling the guys involved names? Just seems a little ignorant to me. I’m sure none of the Black Crowes were completely innocent.
Thanks Chris Robinson for helping deliver one of the best 25 American rock bands of all time in my view. You seem to be having a hard time explaining why you broke up the Crowes. I guess its complicated. Thanks for the shows. Maybe someday a reunion tour.
Dang, a lot of hate on Chris here. Shoot just ask any 50 year old if they are the same person they were at 20. And if you're 20, you won't be close to the same person you are at 50. Crowes were great yeah, but the energies got exhausted. At some point, you just need to make moves or stay in stale hell. Once you have to force a relationship, everything in and out of that relationship suffers.
AdventuresOfTheKanFam you are exactly correct. I just turned 50 this year. I don't see things like I once did,and now if I party all nite it takes a week to get over it. Now when I was 20 the party never stopped
It's so funny to see him address this subject and see how he dances around it. We know the truth, Chris. I'm still in disbelief that Chris F'n Robinson ended his iconic band over money. It's like, the last thing I would have predicted.
Andrew Martin Are you kidding? If he only cared about money and ego, he’d play “Jealous Again” and “Hard to Handle” every night for 8-10K people, instead of lesser-known originals and tasteful covers before hundreds.
There`s one thing I like about Chris, what you see is what you get. He seems very honest and not full of shit, and as front man, he would be very hard to follow. The Black Crowes "owned" modern rhythm and blues, and it was in a large part Chris as front man....
All the people talking about Chris and his ego, you have to remember that all the best rock frontmen had ego. You need ego to be such a great frontman, especially live. Just because it makes him a bit of a douchebag in real life, without that ego the crowes would not be the great band they are (or were).
The book Hard to Handle by one of the founding members and drummer Steve Gorman was sure an eye opener for me. I love the music the Black Crowe’s made. It is beautiful, unique and powerful, but I am totally un impressed by this interview as Chris seems either high or burned out for being high for too long. And I’m not taking about just weed .
THESE CAT'S RIGHT AWAY AT THAT TIME I SAID THAY GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL A SOUND....ITS 100PER'CENT GREAT REAL ROCK N ROLL THING JIMMY PAGE MUST'VE SAID THE SAME THING THAT SOUNDED SO GOOD I JUST SAW JONES BEACH CONCERT FEATURES JIMMY PAGE THE BLACK CROW'S SO TIGHT RIGHT ON IT BLEW ME OUT FOR REAL
He smokes weed. He lives in a mansion, he's sold millions of records, he has a net worth of $9 million, and he plays music for a living. How's life treating you these days?
I can understand why he said he had some joyless times. Rich liked to play LOUD. Anyone who has sung live will tell you that (especially before in-ear monitors) it's very hard to compete with loud guitars unless you have excellent monitors. Even then it's not foolproof. Being a metal kid in the 80's I moved towards playing mellower southern rock that was more dynamic simply because it was more fun to play live. I can see that same progression with CRB. It's only natural to some degree. They are much more dynamic where the Crowes very pretty up in your face most of the time. That said I miss the Crowes very badly. None of the CRB songs move me like the Crowes did.
3 minutes ago It was OASIS. They toured together when the Crowes released LIONS...and they called the tour "Brotherly Love". Good call Bro. Have you seen the VH1 Behind the Music on Oasis? Umm...Hilarious. One of the Brothers said he was sick and couldnt play, so the other performed by himself "WOnderwall" while the sick brother waterboarded himself with whisky in the balcony and heckled him. ON CAMERA! Anyway, Mr. Chris Robinson...is from outerspace people. The most interesting thing he does is write and perform music...that is why we know who he is. i became a professional musician because I saw the crowes perform in Chicago on the Southern Harmony and Musical Companion tour...and I had grown up playing various instruments, but the Crowes had a Conga Player that Tour...used him on Amorica too...and put that together with what Chris believes about music and Rock and Roll being the Remedy and...wellyou just cant help it. I thought his comments about how it helped him through 20 years of his life when he was just a 16 year old freak in Atlanta to now were very prudent. I will also say, that I am now 50...and...I think I am pretty good looking...and I have also experimented and lived a hard life playing live and working hard and playing hard...but ...all things considered....I am delighted he is alive. No one should come to this forum after you just watched the video of him perform and say ..."this is your mind on drugs...or detox...or whatever...) his second x wife is on weight watchers with Oprah. As he would say "Less Judgement, More Tolerence" Merry Christmas...and Celine...sorry I responded to your thread with this...The other band was Oasis. Hysterical
So....." I wish we would've stayed a band...but they didn't"....but then says he wasn't happy in the BC....either way, I still have hope and still dig his music
And Plant looks like a dried out prune. No one at 70 like Plant looks good in leather. And to the people saying Chris looks old....he is over 50 he isn't 20 anymore. Look in the mirror yourself
Agree. Frost and Freeze albums were so damn good and refined. Really felt like the pinnacle of their work. I could see some lack of joy on the last tour though with Jackie Green. I love CRB too and I'd rather he do that than go through the motions with the Crowes. I don't like seeing the dirty laundry in public. I'd like to see them make another album down the road, but it's not looking too likely.
Rich mentioned in an interview that they had very brief negotiations happening , back in 2014 or so ...and claims Chris was not interested unless Steve Gorman's interests were signed over to Chris , I believe ..... which is shitty , if true
I was in Atlanta at that time, but sadly didn't learn of them in those super early days. Though not long after that I discovered them by hearing Chris and Rich's first interview on 96 Rock where they played "Twice As Hard" and "Jealous Again" off the album and talked about it. My mind was blown and I became an instant fan and bought the cd immediately (followed by the cassette, then eventually the record).
Hey, if Chris doesn't want to be in the Black Crowes that's fine, no one should be forced to do anything they don't want. But don't say it was THEM who broke up the band. It was he who demanded Rich give up his share of the band and made Steve Gorman, an original member of the band for 28 years, just a paid employee. His greed broke up the band.
Like any drug, pot changes the chemistry of the brain and it changes people. I've played in bands with lifelong pot smokers. It's not the most productive of drugs for people, based on my experiences and observations over years.
I love Chris! You should mind your own business. I think the brothers love each other, but just can't stand being around each other. They each have very strong personalities and opinions that are never the same. Except for the music, I have 2 brothers just like them. They love each other and hate each other at the same time.
Nothing stays the same - do we really want the crows to just be stagnant robots sure it sucks that they aren't together making more memorable tunes but if they can't then just dig crb and magpie salute and be grateful for the remedy ☮️
And as even Keith said, it's not the money, it's... "What else are we gonna do?" Drinking yourself to death is popular, buying fast toys... Bono tried racing his bikey in Central Park, look how that went. Bono Sr. tried ski racing on the kiddy slope, squel-cha-cha.
sucks for sure.been a huge fan,i have seen the crowes 28 times in 6 states.i was planning on taking my 9 yr old granddaughter to a 25th anniversary show this summer{she digs them,she calls it the rock n roll]now...not.all good things must come to an end i suppose.
I think most of these commenters have never been in an original band and begin to understand the inability to be around certain people who think they are better than the others... especially when they are absolutely not. I don't know the story behind these guys but I can tell that it wasn't good. Some folks just don't know how it is in a situation like that. They only know about the music that is presented to us and that's it.
Early-mid 90’s. Salem, Oregon. Summertime show. Outdoors. There to see Robert Plant. In the parking lot: drinking, smoking, “preparing” for the show. The opening act kept playing song after song. Was pissing us off. More drink, more smoke. Never saw a single song of their set. Arrived for Robert. The opening act? The Black Crowes. God, the 90’s were fun!
I so grateful to have see this band.
Met him in Milwaukee and he was a very nice gent. Rock on dude.
I Just Love This Guy Plain & Simple JUST SIMPLY THE COOLEST SINGER SONGWRITER HUMAN & MINDSET !!! ❤🌍️👍🏻🙏🏻💫
I love his voice
Those guys were so damn good and in a time that did not favour their style. What they did was amazing in my opinion. The live footage speaks for itself. One of the very best American bands ever.
wow on all these haters....CRB freaking rocks - just caught them live...mind blowing. ...seriously, do yourself a favor and check them out ....the Black Crowes were great, but it ran its course...let it go and enjoy the next 20 years of kick ass music. Ask yourself too, if you have a lick of creativity in you, would you want to be doing the same thing night after night for 20 years? Rock on Robinson brothers....both of ya...however you need to get it done!
Saw CRB Wednesday night at the El Rey. . Love TBC but CRB is my band. . CR is awesome & gives his all to his freaks! ! 🎼🎵🎤🎸🎹🌝🌼✌💛🌟
I tried man. Chris just doesn't have the heaviness Black Crowes had with Gormans drumming and Robinsons riffs and that's what matters to me. He's a phenomenal singer. But I don't think it's all that different than when Robert Plant went solo in the 80's, it just lacks oomf and great songs (only Plant DID suck vocally after).

For Crowes and Zeppelin. You have to have a heavy drummer and great riffs. Neither are there for CRB.

Singer, Songwriting, Drums. If they're all good you have every truly great band you can think of. Take one away and the house of cards crumbles.
Chris is so awesome

Because he's a liar and bitter.

He’s being an ass
Thanks Chris Robinson for helping deliver one of the best 25 American rock bands of all time in my view. You seem to be having a hard time explaining why you broke up the Crowes. I guess its complicated. Thanks for the shows. Maybe someday a reunion tour.
2019 they just announce a 2020 reunion 😎🤘
And.... then covid
I love both of the Robinson brothers. Great band.
He makes it sound as though he and his brother weren't particularly close in the first place, so it is what it is.
maybe them and the Oasis brothers could swap brothers...
Chris Robinson is cool man. He's got the same laid back attitude he had in interviews from 30 years ago.
Right. A bad attitude. Get sober and live a better life. It's time.
That's a shame they can't get back together. They were soooo good!!
Dang, a lot of hate on Chris here. Shoot just ask any 50 year old if they are the same person they were at 20. And if you're 20, you won't be close to the same person you are at 50. Crowes were great yeah, but the energies got exhausted. At some point, you just need to make moves or stay in stale hell.

AdventuresOfTheKanFam you are exactly correct. I just turned 50 this year. I don't see things like I once did,and now if I party all nite it takes a week to get over it. Now when I was 20 the party never stopped
His band is the shit!!!
Magpie salute is way better band than Chris’s band any day of the week,Chris is doing total hippie shit and Rich is kicking ass just look them up!
Chris was exactly the same at 20 as he now; a hypocritical, greedy asshole
Pretty much. Some of the decisions he made make no sense. Also I don't think it's any secret he's to blame no w that Gormans book is out.
Tell ya what...Chris you take the Zeppelin gig and Robert Plant can put the Crowes back together, and then the two bands can tour together....
+Tedmund13 . That would be one awesome show.
It's so funny to see him address this subject and see how he dances around it. We know the truth, Chris. I'm still in disbelief that Chris F'n Robinson ended his iconic band over money. It's like, the last thing I would have predicted.
Chris you are real!! Great respect for you✌️peace brother!
The Crowes were up there with Lef Zeppelin and The Stones. Thank you for your work Chris
Not even close. They were a great band, but they didn't have the catalog of either band you mentioned, nor the lasting influence on music.
I saw an all girl Zep tribute band. Lez Zeppelin. They do a full frontal version of 'In Through the Out Door'.
At least he acknowledged he's there because THE CROWES
I really hope he's not shooting up again... Such a great musician
Andrew Martin
Are you kidding? If he only cared about money and ego, he’d play “Jealous Again” and “Hard to Handle” every night for 8-10K people, instead of lesser-known originals and tasteful covers before hundreds.
And he has kids. That is waaaayyy more important than any band.
Glad I got to see ya and thanks.
Alot of bands did the Farewell tour it's like see ya later and see ya tomorrow all in the same time. A very good live band hard to just walk away.
Chris has a great band now - he's doing the right thing
He's humble yet realistic. Love Chris so much ♥️
Y
Thanks for the memories Chris !!!😣🎼🎵🎶😄✌❤
Man he went from like hippie old to wizard old.
What's next? Mummy old?
NolalanD yes
Wow. Looking at him I feel old.
There`s one thing I like about Chris, what you see is what you get. He seems very honest and not full of shit, and as front man, he would be very hard to follow. The Black Crowes "owned" modern rhythm and blues, and it was in a large part Chris as front man....

Just because it makes him a bit of a douchebag in real life, without that ego the crowes would not be the great band they are (or were).
Sorry, but there's plenty of amazing frontmen out there who aren't complete assholes to their bandmates.
Idk why he ever got that label he seems super down to earth and somebody you could have a beer with and never know he was a Rockstar....
Listen closer. He said to Robby Kreiger "I'm not like other guys". Even he knows he's a bit of an asshole.
happy soon bday legend all the bests.
And now they're back together
The book Hard to Handle by one of the founding members and drummer Steve Gorman was sure an eye opener for me. I love the music the Black Crowe’s made. It is beautiful, unique and powerful, but I am totally un impressed by this interview as Chris seems either high or burned out for being high for too long. And I’m not taking about just weed .
Weird. I just saw the Black Crowes 3 days ago
THESE CAT'S RIGHT AWAY AT THAT TIME I SAID THAY GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL A SOUND....ITS 100PER'CENT GREAT REAL ROCK N ROLL THING JIMMY PAGE MUST'VE SAID THE SAME THING THAT SOUNDED SO GOOD I JUST SAW JONES BEACH CONCERT FEATURES JIMMY PAGE THE BLACK CROW'S SO TIGHT RIGHT ON IT BLEW ME OUT FOR REAL
It's sad & TBC is my band ; however if Chris is not happy then he shouldn't be in the band anymore. Bring on CRB!!!
See!!! Weed has no negative effects at all!!
RIIIIIGHT
Weed is a mind altering drug like any other, has some good benefits and bad, anything you inhale into your lungs besides air is BAD for you.
You're right. It's all the other drugs.
He smokes weed. He lives in a mansion, he's sold millions of records, he has a net worth of $9 million, and he plays music for a living. How's life treating you these days?
Chris Boylan He's only worth 9 mil? He must have done a ton of fucking drugs!
I can understand why he said he had some joyless times. Rich liked to play LOUD. Anyone who has sung live will tell you that (especially before in-ear monitors) it's very hard to compete with loud guitars unless you have excellent monitors. Even then it's not foolproof. Being a metal kid in the 80's I moved towards playing mellower southern rock that was more dynamic simply because it was more fun to play live. I can see that same progression with CRB.

My sister is my best friend. It's a bummer to think about brothers who just don't get along. But I guess it happens.
I love the old band......they were the best..now not so much..
We want the black crowes ,not talking bullshit :(
OMG Chris you look like Micro from The Punisher(2017) lol ❤❤
So....." I wish we would've stayed a band...but they didn't"....but then says he wasn't happy in the BC....either way, I still have hope and still dig his music
Hello how have you been doing
It's Brad from Toronto
Wow... what a Worn-Out High-Milage Vehicle.
it's a bummer
Robinson is such a "burn out"!!
There something not been said
The Black Browes have united ... we don't know where or when ...
I hope they can get together just a couple more times here and there. Nothing long term. Something has to be there still..
It is what it is. Avoid the drama man...... it is what it is.
A collar, and a knit sweater? ...Even Robert Plant still wears leather...
And Plant looks like a dried out prune. No one at 70 like Plant looks good in leather. And to the people saying Chris looks old....he is over 50 he isn't 20 anymore. Look in the mirror yourself
j. pepper Robinson was hipster before hipster was hipster.
The great Robert Plant. However, fat and old, washed-up looking. Almost 70 and still wearing leather. Wow. You're a pretty deep one, j.
Watch CRB rig rundown. You'll really hear Chris say a whole lot without saying anything.
C.R. is excessively *TALL* in this interview!
no one brings up Before the Frost...Until the Freeze is the second best album they made.
Geezuz....he's what 48 here and he looks 58.!
This band only got better with age unlike most especially bringing luther in the mix. Cant help but speculate this split is about money and greed
Agree. Frost and Freeze albums were so damn good and refined. Really felt like the pinnacle of their work. I could see some lack of joy on the last tour though with Jackie Green. I love CRB too and I'd rather he do that than go through the motions with the Crowes. I don't like seeing the dirty laundry in public. I'd like to see them make another album down the road, but it's not looking too likely.
Rich mentioned in an interview that they had very brief negotiations happening , back in 2014 or so ...and claims Chris was not interested unless Steve Gorman's interests were signed over to Chris , I believe ..... which is shitty , if true
Saw them when they were mr Crow's garden.
I was in Atlanta at that time, but sadly didn't learn of them in those super early days. Though not long after that I discovered them by hearing Chris and Rich's first interview on 96 Rock where they played "Twice As Hard" and "Jealous Again" off the album and talked about it. My mind was blown and I became an instant fan and bought the cd immediately (followed by the cassette, then eventually the record).
watch what happens when all the money dries up...
von harvell yep they are touring again for cash in 2020 💰
Oh my god what the hell happened to him?!?!?
crochetthebooks he got old
Read Gorman's book
Rich and Chris were having a meltdown argument on a tour bus after a gig in '90.
Let 'em rest people.
Dressed for a cameo on friends.
Hey, if Chris doesn't want to be in the Black Crowes that's fine, no one should be forced to do anything they don't want. But don't say it was THEM who broke up the band. It was he who demanded Rich give up his share of the band and made Steve Gorman, an original member of the band for 28 years, just a paid employee. His greed broke up the band.
Doesn’t he look like Tom Green?
Like any drug, pot changes the chemistry of the brain and it changes people. I've played in bands with lifelong pot smokers. It's not the most productive of drugs for people, based on my experiences and observations over years.
Good luck to him
They will be back :)
If you read the transcript of this he says nothing at all really except for, uhm and ya know. Chris ain't hurting.
I love Chris! You should mind your own business. I think the brothers love each other, but just can't stand being around each other. They each have very strong personalities and opinions that are never the same. Except for the music, I have 2 brothers just like them. They love each other and hate each other at the same time.
They'll be back together eventually.
I guess he is happier doing what he's doing.
This didn’t age well
Nothing stays the same - do we really want the crows to just be stagnant robots sure it sucks that they aren't together making more memorable tunes but if they can't then just dig crb and magpie salute and be grateful for the remedy ☮️
And as even Keith said, it's not the money, it's...
"What else are we gonna do?"
Drinking yourself to death is popular, buying fast toys... Bono tried racing his bikey in Central Park, look how that went. Bono Sr. tried ski racing on the kiddy slope, squel-cha-cha.
no dont break up
That band needs Gorman back...
Chris aint lookin so good... hope he's ok
Give me 99% of the touring money.
He doesn’t come out of Steve Gorman’s book well at all.
lah gaek wa ang
Maybe start something up Robert Plant ?!!!😲❤✌🎼🎵🎸
Its the Oasis!
He looks sad somehow. It makes the break-up news more sad.
Sorry for poor English.
Chris and Rich need to stop fucking around and start remembering that it's WE the people, who've put them where they are today!
Nice sweater hobo 🤗
Give it time.
Ken Lyons
You mean wiser time😋
Being a brother is difficult. He's shitfaced.....weed doesn't do that unless it's a bong hit AFTER whiskey.
sucks for sure.been a huge fan,i have seen the crowes 28 times in 6 states.i was planning on taking my 9 yr old granddaughter to a 25th anniversary show this summer{she digs them,she calls it the rock n roll]now...not.all good things must come to an end i suppose.
nice jumper and jeans.. !
For fucks sake...these guys have to just stop the bullshit and play music.
I hear he’s egotistical and rude, but he seems like a pretty solid guy
Gorman and Rich have both called him out publicly for being a liar and back pedaled.
If Gorman, who remained loyal even while toeing the company line for years, comes and calls you out, Chris is the liar. Yes.
Spit it out dude! Couldn't he just say "Been there, done it." Please detox. It's all downhill from here.
He's so full of it. He wanted the Lions share... Ya ask me that's not a band that's a man. No reunion... Wouldn't be the same. Let the Magpie Free Man
I think most of these commenters have never been in an original band and begin to understand the inability to be around certain people who think they are better than the others... especially when they are absolutely not. I don't know the story behind these guys but I can tell that it wasn't good. Some folks just don't know how it is in a situation like that. They only know about the music that is presented to us and that's it.
