Been a big fan of these guys since Shake Your Money Maker. Southern Harmony is one of the all-time best rock'n'roll albums made. Stoked to hear their new stuff. Underrated band.
Seen them so many times, one of the best concerts I ever went to was when they Were doing a smaller venue tour and played my student union in Glasgow. They blew the roof off!
Jealous is top 5 favorite songs of all time! Won tickets off the radio, using the original cell phone to call and be the tenth caller! Berkeley theatre was a core memory! I love Black Crowes! 🤟💞🤟
Not a huge 'The Tonight Show' fan with Jimmy at the helm (or Leno for that matter), but kudos to him for having Chris Robinson on and recognizing The Black Crowes and rock music nowadays. Crap has taken music over, so this was an unexpected breath of fresh air. Thanks Jimmy!
You have Chris and Rich back, but Marc isn't there, Eddie is dead, Gorman is history, and Johnny is doing something or other. Those hired players in the band aren't "The Black Crowes." They are expendable. And Sven is along for the ride.
My Aunt Mary was such a huge Black Crowes fan that I gave her my debut cassette as the groovy little stoner kid I was back then and bought myself another. She was admitted on Christmas day 2021 with Covid19 and passed away January 2, 2022 on a vent all alone in the infirmary. I later sat with a big bottle of wine and played/sang She Talks To Angels at the top of my lungs repeatedly on my Fender acoustic guitar for what must of been hours if not days. I know that comes across as somewhat morbid and dark, but that freakin' song genuinely helped get me through that heartbreaking loss, and for that? I'll always be eternally grateful. #ThankYouRobinsonBrothers 💜💔❤🩹❤🔥
I don't think 'Happiness Bastards' is The Black Crowes' best album cover, but I think it was clever of them to paint over their old album covers. It's like them saying, that was our past and this is our now!
Never forget when they were doing the larger rock and roll clubs. There was a club outside of Detroit called the Ritz. And this was right before their second album was coming out. They already had I think the single Remedy from the second album was all over the radio. We got to the bar and we were lucky we got one of the high standing bar tables that was just behind the main floor and elevated. Everybody on the floor had to stand. They're probably was a good 500 people in their easily. And the band played every single song from the first album. It was unbelievable. Everyone was there to see this new band that we had all heard the first album for the past months, if not a year. And they were actually OPENING for a band called Junkyard!😅 Junk yards big song was called hollywood. I think this was right about the early or middle 90s? We had the best time. The Crowes were awesome.
Took my wife to her first rock concert in Chattanooga around 7-8 years ago to see The Black Crowes and they were as awesome as when I saw them in the Omni Chris mentions. Btw, we were front row at her first concert!
I saw the band play a “ Kisw “ Rising Star concert in Seattle for $2 at The Paramount. The cord for guitarist was so short , it was off the ground when he moved up to microphone and kept unplugging thru the set. A roadie in T-shirt with pack of cigarettes in his sleeve , and a lit one in his mouth kept running on stage to plug it back in. I still have the ticket stub , might get that $2 back someday, lol.
He grew up down the street from me. We actually both got kicked out of the same high school (Walton). I was standing in front of him at a Kamasi Washington show in NYC a few years ago. I noticed it was him and asked him if he wanted a drink when I went to the bar and handed it to him and didn’t say anything. Then when I went to leave I told him I would say hi to Mrs. Sternilolo if she wasn’t dead. He started laughing and was like, “are you from east Cobb?” I told him I was. And we talked for a few minutes. I had actually met him before and used to wait on his parents at Houcks when I bartended there. He was super chill after I didn’t ask him for anything or acknowledge that he is a big rock star.
I am sooooooo glad we never gave up on them getting back together. We've already seen them now in Alpharetta GA where they blew it out of the water!! We just saw them a couple of weeks ago at the Fox Theater in ATL and our tickets with the Black Crowes and Aerosmith are rescheduled and we will see them there. We are making up for lots of lost time with them. The brotherly love between them is obvious and they sound better now than even when they were younger!!! We are so proud of our hometown guys!!!
I met him in 2001..(Tour of Brotherly Love) backstage in Detroit…He was just leaning against a wall by himself..as I walked past!.Got his autograph..didnt talk too long…Oasis was openers that night..next show..,.they flipped..Crowes opening for Oasis….Next show…Oasis was opener again etc. etc..
Men, listen up: There are two kinds of women in the world. One is like CR's wife who he said helped him mend the riff with his brother (@7:01). The other will come between a man & his family and cause the riff (as in the Ms. Markle types). Choose wisely, guys. You deserve a nurturer, not a nut case.
A buddy of mine who worked for their label took me to a show on their very first tour... we met the band and watched the show from the stage at a club in Richmond. Chris was really great to us... fun, friendly. His brother, not so much.
One of my All Time favorite Bands! I saw them way back in 1992 in Pittsburgh. They literally levitated the Duquesne Field House. Just incredible! The "whole" for them was always greater than the sum of the parts. RIP Eddie Harsch. Please start talking with Steve Gorman again just for old times sake. You all truly achieved so much pure greatness!
I love the black crows, my sister gave me a copy of shake your money maker when I was freshman in high school in 1991. I had remember buying one of the tee shirts from hot topic. Good times.
Nice interview. Jimmy on good form here (i.e. not braying like a donkey every 15 seconds), and Chris a chatty, honest and relaxed interviewee. Good stuff.
Chris produced a new album on our label for a band that he’s supported for 20 years Beachwood Sparks. He’s an amazing producer as well as one of the last living rock stars!!!
Thear is better love than brotherly love god I miss my brothers they both passed away to early I’m so glad these guys are back talkin and made more music amen 😊
Saw them in Denver last night at the Fillmore which is a GA venue, so was able to get right up close. Killer show. He's right, there's nothing like the air pumping out of those speakers at a live show.
I saw the Crowes the night before they were fired from the ZZ tour. Chris was very outspoken on the stage about the fact that the Crowes were "playing sponsor-free live music" that evening. Walking out of the show that night, I told my friend that they were definitely going to get fired. I had no idea it would be the next day! Big companies sponsoring tours would obviously become more prevalent in the ensuing years. It was an interesting night, though!
I saw them a few times. The best was on the “Summer Of Brotherly Love Tour” with Oasis at Radio City Music Hall. The new album is the best since “Amorica”. Great video!
Saw him in Tampa with the Dead. They had to carry him onto the stage. One of the last shows in the Sombrero. A few days before Jerry died. Good show. 🎶💜
I remember hearing about them getting fired. I also remember seeing the Crowes and Chris walked out onstage with a Budweiser, but he put his hand in front of the label as he was walking with it.
"I don't think anyone's done that" (Jimmy Fallon on putting the old cover and covering it with some new stuff). Apart from David Bowie's 'Next Day' album from 2013, the white square covers his 'Heroes' cover. It's fine.
Just about every time I tell someone that one of my favorite bands is Counting Crows, they’ll say, “oh I like them too”, but they mean The Black Crowes lol
That Tour they speak of..'The Recycler'...i was there...working that Gig...I remember when the production office started to rumble when Chris blew their last chance. Time sure flies...
Saw them on that tour. They were awesome. Chris was seriously dissing the sponsors throughout the set. It was probably the best thing to happen for them. Went from opening to headlining 6 months later.
I got tickets to see ZZ Top and the crowes in Jacksonville before the crowes got kicked off the tour. Was disappointed but got to see them a couple years later.
