Gregg Bissonette: Game-Changing Moment 

How can one not just absolutely love this man??!!

Greg is an awesome story teller. I hope he shares more from the DLR band days

Great story, great drumme. I can listen to his stories forever...

A great drummer and an honestly grateful man for all of his success. Stay humble and grateful Gregg!

Gregg is just such a great guy, and he plays like wow!

Gregg is up there with the greats. He earned every accolade and deserves respect from any drummer! I think if I had to pick one of the greats to take lessons off of, it would be Gregg Bissonette.

What an awesome person

This dude is so so good.

Great story. Gregg's just awesome. Amazing player. The 80s were certainly a different time.

Absolutely love this story, fantastic musician from one of the best super groups of the 80s, every single member was top of their game and with the ultimate showman and leader. I never got to see DLR live but got to see the whole band with Steve Lukather who was touring his first solo album with basically the DLR group (no Vai obviously) what a treat that was back in the 90s.

Gregg is so cool. Love this guy.

Don Gregg es mi eterno "Drum Hero" N° 1, y junto a Ian Paice y Clive Burr, mis 3 máximas influencias. Héroe por sus innumerables trabajos en bandas y solistas, y por lo mismo, su evidente y característica versatilidad. Por su refinado "buen gusto" y musicalidad en cada uno de sus arreglos. Por su humildad, disposición y máximo sentido del humor. Tengo 45 años y toco batería "a oído" desde los 12. Si algún día me ganara la Lotería, don Greeg es el único baterísta "tesoro humano vivo" con quien sería un sueño cumplido poder tomar clases privadas de batería, y no dudaría ni un segundo en viajar hasta el Himalaya si es necesario para poder tener dicho privilegio🙏👏. Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱 MAESTROOOOOOOO!!!..🥁🤗

What a beautiful human being Greg is, on top of his skills and talent!

Dave called Gregg the "Prince of Pound" --- King of Heavy Artillery !!

Awesome!!

One of the best players and gentlemen in the biz. Loved him with Satriani too of course. Summer Song....great groove.

awesome story, he so deserved that gig, great showman too

Great interview.. Eat ‘em and smile was akin to deep purple in rock for me! Talented guys with great songs and I got lost in the music!! I’m a drummer and I still try to play with that voracity !! Thanks guys !!! 👍😎

Met his dad back in the day at the store I worked at. Gotta love Warren, Mi.

Peace & Love for Gregg ✌🏻

Who doesn’t love that dude and that story

what a cool and charismatic guy...and, of course, a genius on the drums! greetz from germany!

The DLR band is the best live gig I have ever seen! It was jaw dropping entertainment and musical chops!

LMFAO! That was awesome! What a character! Met Gregg really briefly, recently. Good dude.

I was looking at that Gretsch broadkaster in champagne sparkle behind him!!!!!

INCREIBLE, GRACIAS

Not surprised. UNT alum, some of the best musicians around.

What a great story teller

Gregg is great!

what a cool guy

Awesome story...greg's the man!

Wow! This feels like a continuation from Matt Sorum's Modern Drummer interview! Oddly enough, I was re-reading that issue about a week ago! Small, but awesome, world.

Your the best Greg

Man, when I saw Greg in the Band back in the day, I was like, who is this clown. Man was I a dumb ass. Oh only a drumming juggernaut....😀

Very cool

I know James Kottak. greg here, is really taking on his character, big time! ha ha! hardly can tell 'em apart! too funny!

This guy can play!! Nice guy, too. It was really interesting to hear how he got the DLR gig... \m/ (:o)

Gregg was great in Roths band/

The best

I'd love to know the Writing Process, was Dave there for most of the time or just showing up to finished "songs" with no words. Did he bring in Lyrics or come up with things on the spot. Great Band and Debut album. I bet he liked that Greg was accomplished in Jazz as well. Dave is very Vaudeville.

Wish i could just call steve for a job,you have to be in the know to begin with.

That's my cousin Gregg

He hasn’t changed a bit since 10 years.

I saw him with DLR at Donnington M osters of Rock. Awesome drummer in an awesome band on an awesome day.

Damn what a funny story.

Gregg blew my mind on the 'Eat em and smile' tour. I can't find his drum solo on yt but I just found THIS!!!
