I'm glad I just found this (especially when Tully mentions being asked to sound like Glenn Worf). Is it worth it in most cases to risk upsetting a client by stating this (instead of getting 75% there) in the long run?
Oh man, I spent my formative years in Pt. Charlotte. Moved there at 5! It was just this little podunk town with one major store for almost everything. That and a "Sears center". You could order stuff out of the catalog and it would be delivered to this little Sears office that we had to go pick up. My first drum set was ordered there! I'm stunned bc I never hear anything about that town. It's grown a lot though over the years. Small world. I love the channel man. A fantastic source of info and encouragement.
Love this interview, Rich! I learned drums by listening to chris ledoux, Johnny cash, both hanks diamond rio, moslty 80s and 90s country and when i heard you i had to relearn lol. Started playing to your stuff. I love it man. Thank you. I know you hear it alot im sure. Your so humble and upbeat about everything. Dont find many like you. Wish i could get to nashville and meet you. The music will always go one but ya don't have to like it.
I’m interested in your process when figuring out what to do with each song (so many layers!!), and what you hear in your ear piece…such a huge part of the essence of this band!❤❤❤ ❤❤
Rich Redmond My Name is Erik Krieg! I Have Been Working With You At The Drum Center of Lexington in Lexington Kentucky when I get a chance to speak to you about All 2008 Sonor Drums On 2008 Sonor Hardware and Your all your Sabian cymbals in the Lexington Legends Applebees park in Lexington Kentucky! I saw your banging drum set work at the Lexington Applebees park in Kentucky all the 2008 Sonor drums
Lee Levin and I worked together at a record store in Miami around the time of his graduation from the U of M. I can still see him behind the Classical counter (no surprise, huh?) with his long hair, big smile and a kind word for everybody. His enthusiasm, positive attitude and musical taste have taken him far. He’s a great role model in music and life.
This is one of those songs where a drummer has lots of space to show woth fills, fancy sticking, etc. notice how the pros keep it simple and know less is more
Being a fan of Loverboy since their beginning this brought back so many wonderful memories. I was in high school (like you) in the early 80s. I am proud to have been at the advent of MTV. It was an amazing time to be young. I remember a drum tech named Ziggy in the early days and he took my poster from the Keep it Up tour circa 1983 and had Matt sign it for me backstage. I wasn’t sure if I’d get it back but he returned a few minutes later with Matt’s autograph to me. It was an epic moment for me. First ever band member autograph. Thank you Matt! By the way I still have it to this day. 😊 I’m 56 now and my last meeting with the band was the summer of 2000. I was so fortunate to hang out with my friends and the band a few minutes after the show. All of the guys are so down to earth and so humble. Matt said he’s in Raleigh....NC and SC are where my roots are and a few cousins. 😀Both are beautiful states and I go back every so often for a visit. Thanks Rich and Matt for a wonderful podcast. 🤟🥁💝
I read the book a few months back and found it amazing. Having been a local, intermediate guitar player in bands it was easy to relate even though not being anywhere near their level of musicianship. 😀 I had just finished reading Geddy Lee’s book, “My E’ffin’ Life”, and the contrast was night and day. I love the background info like this, some sad, some unbelievable but very interesting. Great interview. Guitar player in Georgia.
