I never had one favorite band because there was so much good music back in the seventies...but Foghat was right up there with a string of hits. They had such talent and energy. I could relate to their lyrics as well.!
Roger? I didn't recognize 'im without the fu-manchu. He was THE moustache in Foghat! Coolest looking rock musician back then! Hard working drummer and businessman. He's carried the Foghat banner and kept the band going through it all! Glad he's still with us!
Roger Earl amazing journey a true pioneer or rock drummers that are still hitting the road and still sounding great also a very cool guy. Thank you Roger
---Thank you !!!---I have jammed with Roger He is a true gentleman !!!. Leave it to a Pro to say it right.----"Look, your on stage for an hour or 2". "Why mess it up with drugs or Alcohol ???"----///----When a man is right---a man is right !!!
+TheCubingProdigy ~ Maybe to you and me they were huge (Christ I have ALL the vinyl and CD's even), but they were not as popular as many others, and I've seen a movie where being a Foghat fan was considered a joke. Which is why I said they are underrated. Pop culture of today seems to have mostly forgotten about them and how good they were.
I believe he meant they are underrated because they weren't "huge" for very long.....only a few years, after the "Stone Blue" album they faded fast unfortunately and I don't mean their ability, I mean their popularity. Their "Foghat Live" LP is the best LIve recording I've ever heard and I've seen them 3 times LIVE and every time they were tight and sounded fantastic!!
I have one drumstick from your show I will never sell it. The show was from a very small bar and foghat gave us a huge show anyway. Used to watch radio station whcn tv commercials they promoted you well. Foghat still rules.
I really enjoyed listening to Roger. He certainly came across as a decent guy. Foghat was the common man's band. Even as a hardcore blues lover I dug Foghat's versions of blues tunes, especially "It Hurts Me Too". Losing Lonesome Dave and Rod Price was a sad thing.
even worse they got slammed a lot by the press and other musicians. I never understood that, their albums were way better than aerosmiths. Rod Price and Lonesome Dave were a great guitar team. Rod was fantastic lead player, and up there with Duane Allman on slide
You don't remember. It was very uncool to dig Foghat for a while. First the critics and record business machine were pissed they were trying to overtake the "big boys", then the punks and new wave crowd declared them uncool. They kept working hard and developed a hard core following. Anybody who caught them live remain a die-hard fan to this day! Did he say he loves to eat? Doesn't look like it. By the way, Craig was still alive when he did this interview.
My favorite band for decades, right from the day they formed. The only band I ever learned every song note for note on both slide, rythm, and bass. Even sent a demo tape to them once when there was actually two foghats ,mid 80s, I think. Seems I had sent it to the wrong management company ;-( Think the demo is even still posted on my blog, if google hasn't wiped it out...
Finding out these guys are a British band surprised me cuz they sound so much like a loud, in your face American Rock band from Boston or Detroit or some rough city like that.
1971 Foghat performs (Slow Ride, ...) at Parnell Elementry School gymnasyum (Jackson Michigan) for the Founder and Sole owner of Universal Music Publishing Group and the rest of the school. This performance was arranged just so that 10 year old genious of a kid could hear Foghat perform and meat them to decide on giving Foghat a recording and publishing contract. The kid walked right upto the band after their performance and told them they will do fine. I wonder if they (Foghat) remamber the kid that decided their career? His name was Mr. Bengt Val Thulin and his nic name was Chip.
It is interesting how much his parents influenced his life. He wanted a motor bike. NO. Well how about drums? OK, take lessons and see how it goes. You can see his father had some great wisdom. His father understood the fundamentals. Learn why you want to do something. Do it to earn a living and then do it well. A great story for young people starting out. Learn from those around you - good or bad - then put your body and soul into it. I have always felt if someone wakes you up at 4am and asks you to do something concerning your career and you do it like no one else, you have found your profession.

The interviewer seems to believe all the bullshit hype about Hendrix that he was wasted all the time. What a crock. I've seen hundreds of films of Hendrix & he took his music serious. Never seen him intentionally fucked up . Of course he partied but there's a time & place for everything.
..interviewer needs to shut up and let the man speak. Trying to pin Roger down to peg Jimi as being out of it, even while conducting auditions, is completely inexcusable. Cool interviewers are hard to find, this guy needs to find a job selling swimming pool cleaning agents..
@@mitchgawlik1175 This band is NOT the classic Foghat. The same rule applies with any band, you choose socialism/communism over American values expect no revenue from me to be used against me. BTW when Linda first posted Foghat's support for Warren a mass exodus of fans left the group on fb.

From what I've seen and read; Hendrix was usually sober when he played. He actually did take his music seriously.
Great drummer of a great band. I remember being influenced by these guys back in the 70's, when I started writing.
Great interview with Roger...always one of my favorite drummer.

Was there ever a "Behind The Music" - type documentary about Foghat? I'd love to hear a more in-depth story about this underrated band.
Underrated????? They were huge back in the day man and when I say huge I mean huge

+goopah but I mean come on you never meet a person who has never heard the song slow ride
underrated? are you smoking crack? Shut the fuck up with that shit ~

cool guy, could have gone on a while with him, love the stories, the stevie marriott and savoy brown stuff, it fills in a lot of gaps for us fans.
I have one drumstick from your show I will never sell it. The show was from a very small bar and foghat gave us a huge show anyway. Used to watch radio station whcn tv commercials they promoted you well. Foghat still rules.

Dave and Rod Price was a sad thing.
Great interview.one of my favorite drummers.Roger Earl.
Not a single interview of Lonesome Dave ANYWHERE ????

They WERE under-rated. Greatest rock band I know, but never got the headlines, awards, attention that Aerosmith and others got from 74-82.
even worse they got slammed a lot by the press and other musicians. I never understood that, their albums were way better than aerosmiths. Rod Price and Lonesome Dave were a great guitar team. Rod was fantastic lead player, and up there with Duane Allman on slide

He's taking about the 70's band and they put up pictures of the 2000 band. Weirds me out.
4:00 lol what did you play with him... "Drums"
what a cool guy!

You couldn't edit out the commercials?

haha love the steve marriott story humble pie is one of my favourite bands
The adds ruin the interview

Frank MacKay? Should call himself Frank MacJerk.
EXACTLY!!!

we don't believe in ghosts anymore...hellbound train
I am know roger earl personally! No joke!
No way me too! Legit my dad used to know him and I met him not too long ago
Cool! He is actually a family member of mine
+Katokioo Creations that's dope! I may or may not be going to his birthday next month
Yes I was actually invited to the show
+Katokioo Creations same here! Did you go to the one that was at the Ohio state fair not too too long ago?
yea he is WEIRD and sterile---LONG live our beloved FOGHAT!!!!
What did you play?.........Drums...lol
64,312 views and no comments? Weird.
Roger "the foot" Earl
Typical American broadcast with adverts every 5 mins.
I think the shows intro music should last longer. 😳🙄🥱
MacKay needs to shut the F....... up and let Roger answer the question he just asked him!!
...he was more interested in whether Jimi was wasted, and to what extent. Journalism of the worst sort.
The interviewer seems to believe all the bullshit hype about Hendrix that he was wasted all the time. What a crock. I've seen hundreds of films of Hendrix & he took his music serious. Never seen him intentionally fucked up . Of course he partied but there's a time & place for everything.
Not much of an interview!
The interviewer sucks, Mackay does not listen good and interupts repeatedly which means the audience mississ out on good content. re learn your trade.
How does this CORPSE have a TV show?
Absolute zero personality.
He's wasted.
Annoying commercials and why the fuck the pics of a current incarnation of the band at a moment Earl is talking about the early days?
What a poor interviewer
..interviewer needs to shut up and let the man speak. Trying to pin Roger down to peg Jimi as being out of it, even while conducting auditions, is completely inexcusable. Cool interviewers are hard to find, this guy needs to find a job selling swimming pool cleaning agents..
Frank MacKay is a real ass-hole
Frank McKay seems like a real fuckwad.
.
F-ing COMMERCIALS!! bye.
Linda Earl's endorsement of Elizabeth Warren for president ended my interest in the post Dave Foghat. I have nothing for this band.
You hold the band responsible for a wife's political leanings? What the hell is wrong with Americans (of which I'm one)?
@@mitchgawlik1175 This band is NOT the classic Foghat. The same rule applies with any band, you choose socialism/communism over American values expect no revenue from me to be used against me. BTW when Linda first posted Foghat's support for Warren a mass exodus of fans left the group on fb.
