I'm a big fan of Greco during this time in his career. Very influential! Thanks Jim and thanks for this interview

[@andrespelayo6833]

Michael Clark I like him from his style in skating and punk rock style

[@Adam_underscore]

When you got a clean smile, you walk with style.

[@ThumperE23]

He was two years behind me in high school. My senior year we had geometry together. I always liked talking to him.

[@SkateWarehouse]

That's really cool!

[@GaryH1989]

Where’d you go to school?

[@ThumperE23]

@@GaryH1989 West Haven High School, I had seventh period geometry with him.

[@GaryH1989]

@@ThumperE23 that’s pretty cool, I’m from west haven too. I thought that’s where he went to school but wasn’t positive.

[@ThumperE23]

@@GaryH1989 actually your name is familiar to me through the usual chain of events, small town you know.

[@gregoryswift9573]

Hell ya with that BB king refrence. Reminds me of when he played with Mayer. I love this dude.

[@SkateWarehouse]

Yup. Greco rules...

[@geera.dasilva]

ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION!!! LOVE JIM GRECO!!

[@janthony8]

Wow after all these years man. Never knew that was Jim Greco in the spitfire video.

[@ronthunders6124]

its interesting that he mentioned hurt me and so alone. i love johnnys acoustic stuff too! and especially with james the sax player. Aha i listen to the so alone album ALL THE YIME, and i swear one of the things i do while i listen to music is make skate videos in my head, to the song. And i have so alone (the song) as a part for greco. the song has alot to edit with. the intro (johnnys haunting guitar squeels) is good for a compilation of bails, trys, and running back up staircases, and theres a perfect part before johnny starts singing that would be soo sick to jim walking towards the camera in a slow motion resivoir dogs type of shot with his name filling into the screen! and right after that would be alot of jims lines and some mellow stuff. and towards the end of that song, it takes off into a bunch of guitar and drums and the pace of the song gets faster and faster, and it would be perfect for the compilation of all of jims hammers! i get HIGH just from imagining how much people would like this part if i only could put it into reality!! haha my imagination excites me

[@bennyshambles]

I’m totally with you on Let It Bleed, Grecs. I always say that’s pretty much a perfected version of Beggars Banquet, which is an already perfect album. It’s a total DUH situation, but those along with Sticky Fingers and Exile (the much lauded four-classic album streak) are the shit and there’s a reason why dusty old music fans are still obsessed with that period of the Stones.

[@AlexG1020]

my favorite skater

[@coda1587]

I CANT BELIEVE HE LOVES JOHN FRUCIANTE!!!

[@FelipediOliveira]

Neither can I, dude!!! I love John Frusciante so damn badly!!!

The best.

[@ReconRivaldo]

to think that Jim greco and Jeremy klein are best friends makes it just looks good and epic ♡

[@hipera]

dont do drugs kids , well do it, but not as hard as uncle Jim

[@TIGERGUTS]

Seems a little bit broken. He's still rad for sure!

[@NTEDOG561]

Tiger maybe because he’s off drugs

[@CafeHueyLong]

Most drug addicts do drugs because they're socially awkward. Take the drugs away and the awkwardness comes back.

[@user-gz1su4mf9t]

Soflo305 Wasnt he supposedly off drugs since 2003??

[@jasoncousins1343]

Greco is the top 10 best period

I give up skating my worst mistake

[@shaunvanslyke6386]

Every Greco video has a comment on how he Looks all uptight I would hate looking at comments being a pro skater loll

[@SkateWarehouse]

Jim is super chill. He was great to work with.

[@vlewm1913]

[@tidehool262]

he is my moms cousin and i have a picture with him but i’ve only seen him once

[@SkateWarehouse]

Nice! That's a great conversation piece.

[@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday]

That makes him your relative, distant relative but still closer than being a complete stranger. Lol

[@mushlove6933]

he seems so uncomfortable.

[@DylanHughesPhotoVideo]

He's probably just a really tense person with a lot of nervous and creative energy. He's not an average person, why should you expect him to come off how everyone else does?

[@idontwantone132]

Greco is a fucking kook

[@mushlove6933]

unknown commenter i was never “judging” him, its just something i noticed when i was watching the interview .....

[@mushlove6933]

DylanHughesss what defines an “average person”? Nobody is average, everyones unique :)

[@mushlove6933]

Erik Gunderson tell me stuff i dont know :)
I don’t know greco’s past man, dont take it so literally. I just noticed he seemed nervous and commented and you guys are getting triggered.

[@pennyhemens478]

Yah the covers are cool but let it bleed is their only fully good record imo

[@misterslats]

Where's his New York City accent in this interview. Poseur.

[@SkateWarehouse]

Haha

[@emmanueljames8404]
