Welcome to Musicians On The Record, & The Rock Therapy Show, I'm David Ward.
In addition to our regular music interviews, we're introducing a new segment on the channel called 'The Rock Therapy Show.' It’s Not Talk Therapy, it's Rock Therapy; Conversations about Music, and Mental Health. Why Rock Therapy? Well, in addition to hosting the show, I’m also a licensed psychotherapist, (and an unlicensed drummer). I really want to reduce the stigma of talking about music and mental health issues and challenges, that musicians and many people deal with, and to help de-stigmatize therapy, that it's ok to reach out for help.
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

In 1974, I played a snare drum solo called Spontaneous Percussion at our H.S. district drum competition. It was written by Nick Ceroli. Grade.. difficult! Blew the judges away, as most were playing Pratt solos. I was 16. The next year, I played Tornado, by Mitch Markovitch. Even harder!
You know Gary, when I studied with Pat Martino (1982-1984) he once said to me that the reason artists often have a difficult time dealing with people (the main stream in general) is that artists operate at an accelerated speed of consciousness. It's like the masses move in slow motion. This somehow resonated with me then as it does now. --Thank you for this interview.
There really needs to be another era of studio musicians in demand. The radio is too saturated with electronic music. Lets go back to talented humans making music.
Amazes me i never even heard Page, or Clapton or Beck even mention Allan Holdsworth. The man who redefined how to play guitar. Had they done so or been more enthusiastic it might have helped boost his solo career. But it took eddie van halen to do that
This is the only decent interview with Leif I've ever heard. He is an interesting guy, far more intelligent and philosophical than many might take him for.
Ive set up a symmetrical set. I got the idea from a lefty who played on a right handed kit...well. He never crossed arms, and pulled off unique and unusual fills. Ive got my hat directly in front of me, just behind the snare. Toms left and right, and cymbals on either side that are mirror images. Ive been practicing left handed a lot. I want to get to the point where I dont even know if im leading left or right. The offset pedal is the last piece of the puzzle.
Who the heck is this guy. I thought he was about to say something positive, then just makes the same old excuses. Moons drumming. on Quadrophenia is epic. I don’t think these people really listen to this albums. It’s always just Who’s Next and Leeds and then they say Moon was all downhill from there.
I am 3 years too late with this comment Sorry about all the drug issues etc. he seems like a pretty balanced person He actually is a survivor considering what happened to some of the other teens stars.
I love Gary Moore's playing... but, and this is my opinion, so please don't hate... he's the odd man out in that company..........but so are 99% of most players
Very interesting🎉🎉🎉nice man🎉 how come nobody questiones the inhuman workschedule of elvis 1800 concerts in 10 years🎉🎉stones 2000 in 60 years . Madona 580 in 40 years!!!!
Rich would have been exceptional at other skills if his environment was not competitive with constant comparison. Rich surely would have mastered other instruments had he been in a supportive area and was encouraged to work with other musicians. Too much adulation over indulgence and demand for him to be someone’s court jester performer drummer, applauded for even boorish behaviour as if it is acceptable….
Impossible to pick a favorite! He literally played on most of my favorite pop songs (I'm 60), not to mention all those catchyTV themes and soundtracks. Most significantly, he complemented the songs... as it should be.
Gary is an immensely gifted musician and what a joy to hear him talk about playing with four iconic guitarists. I did also like the fact that he spoke about playing with Robin Trower, another superb guitarist. I was also delighted he mentioned Mark Wingfield - who most will not have heard of. Mark is predominantly a jazz guitarist, so more in the style of McLaughlin or Holdsworth. Give the album Tor and Vale a listen it has some superb guitar sounds and a great listen late at night with a single malt in hand.
ive always seen Zep at the Garden when they came all three nights.I would love to see Lez Zeppelin up close because they're really good and im 67.For me to say that means something
Gary Husband's playing on Holdsworth's _I.O.U._ album is so purely musical, so joyful...I never tire of listening to it. Hadn't always kept up with his career, but then during COVID I came across this absolute gem of John McLaughlin & the 4th Dimension doing this _Lockdown Blues_ (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJ88IjIzdqM.htmlsi=QO0CPJWf-D5w2D1b) and was utterly blown away by Gary's keyboard playing--I felt silly not knowing he was such an accomplished keyboard player as well! Some of our fellow humans just have incredible artistic gifts to share with us all--Gary Husband is very much one of those extraordinary people!
