We honestly owe this dude so much. He has devoted his life to what we now call pop punk music. So glad he is still out doing it

So happy to see Bill playing after all he's been through in the last 15 years!

For anyone who doesn't already know and is curious, this man is a _fantastic_ recording engineer who has made many incredible records at his studio that he mentioned, "The Blasting Room." The amount of incredible, generational, inspirational records this guy has been a part of making in one way or another is impressive to say the least.

One of the absolute GOAts of punk drummers, man

Oh man, so much respect to Bill. His playing on those Black Flag records is huge to me.

Bill is a beautiful Human being - listening to him talk about everything in such friendly and open ways made me smile.

He's drumming creativity with ALL, blows every other project out of the park. Bill is a treasure

I love how he has his kit set up. Bill Stevenson the master.

Bill just gave a free lesson 🫡

Blasting room and his work with Only Crime. Absolutely incredible. The Decsendants are dope aswell

Bill is a gift to mankind.

Love seeing Bill be recognized as such an important drummer!

He is a absolute hero for me. Just love every beat of this dude. Amazing Interview. Thanx!

Spectacular drummer and songwriter!

I love Bill.

This was awesome! Keep Groovin' the passion guys!

Refreshingly original, unconventional and inspiring. This guy approaches drumming and music as an absolute artist with a concept ❤

What a cool, down to earth and subtly hilarious guy! This was great!

About 15 years ago. I went to an ALL show in Columbus, Ohio. Hung out with the whole band for a couple hours after the show and they were some of the coolest and nicest people I've ever met. We owe Bill and company so much for the music they gave the world.

Bill’s the Man.

"I like playing more curvy" Gonna be using this line from now on haha. I agree, some drummers tend to stick just to timekeeping and forgetting that the drums are an instrument in themselves as well. Bill is a consummate professional, great video.

Promark rebranding 3 times over the last decade, changing model names, and discontinuing a bunch of stick models is ruining their brand image.

Will never forget the first time I heard Coffee Mug and Eunuch Boy as a kid.

The G.O.A.T.

I saw the descendants documentary “film age” recently and have nothing but the upmost respect and love for Bill ! What a trooper and a talented man

Someone get this man a fucking cymbal deal so he didn't have to borrow stuff! Zildjian I'm looking at you

Mr. Stevenson has a very unique 'voice' on the drums, similar to Derek Grant from Alkaline Trio. Nuanced air-drummers can recognize both of those musicians within a few bars of a song, but those voices aren't easily replicated, and they will never be reproduced. And that's how it should be.

getting the credit he deserves.

Saw them in el paso tx., geez, had to been bout 83-85? Kids they were, SoundSeas was the name of the place, Badass!!!

The Legend himself

747 is the same diameter as 5as, just a bit longer in length.

NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE

The Boss 🤘☕

Honestly, bless him for his admissions of where he might lack as a drummer.. This man is truly a beast and has influenced my world so intensely, but to be able to say how he feels he lacks, like double bass, but to still not just knock it simply because it's not something he utilizes.

My gawd, I love him. So awesome. 🐐🥁

Handsome ass Jarrad talking to one helluva legend 🙌

wow man Bill is just a treat of a human being, maybe one of the most relatable drummers ive seen on this show

Bill the man.

He is not only an amazing drummer but, his songwriting(lyrics) are some of the most relatable, sincere and often gut wrenching things ever put to paper. And then he tops it off with songs about farts. Legend

Would love to see an interview with Matt Best, drummer of Sleeping With Sirens and Tonight Alive. Absolutely incredible drummer

Bill is a humble guy , like the neighbor next door You would drink coffee and do bong hits with

Legend 🤘

Living legend!

Finally showing some love to the goat himself Bill FUCKING Stevenson

Yessss!!!! Mug mug mug

I was just at the blasting room a couple months ago and got to mess around with that Bell brass he’s talking about it absolutely weighs at least 40 pounds and sounds amazing

4:09 Jealous Again?

What a cool, unexpected episode!

King

The best and the godfather of pop punk….

Bill Stevenson is an absolute GOAT!!!

I really enjoyed this, BUT! I was totally disappointed there was no talk about Bills ride cymbals, that's such a huge part of his sound ans he's been so consistent with threw since the beginning. Maybe next time 🤷‍♂️

What a cozy looking kit!

Bill is a legend.

mug mug mug

Bill fucking rules...not just the drummer but prolific songwriter and producer. The entire genre owes so much to Bill. These are The All-O-Gistics...

Legend. Thank you for everything Bill!

The gold standard of hardcore drumming

I want to know if the man rhino is sitting in the back by bill

11:45 There’s a bottle of automotive Lucas Slick Mist Fast and Easy Speed Wax. Do Bill and other drummers use this to clean/shine their kits? PS - Descendents and Bill are amazing

points for the Hans Condor shirt

Father and son? :)

Thank you so much for interviewing him! 🤩

Great interview! Bill Rules! Always!
