Interview de TOTO en novembre 1992. Mike Porcaro, David Paich et Steve Lukather nous parlent de leur groupe juste après la tragique disparition de Jeff Porcaro. Un extrait de la dernière interview TV de Jeff Porcaro en 91.
Toto's distinctive sound would not have been what it was without Jeff Porcaro's unique style of rhythmic drumming. Jeff was a drummer who could play any style of any genre - be it jazz, r & b or rock. Toto just wasn't the same after JP's passing. R.I.P., Jeff Porcaro. You are still loved & missed dearly, even more than 21 years later.
These guys did just what was right and needed at the time. Still just breaks my heart to see the band go through this. Love Steve's intro to Simon, what a great pick. Love David, he reminds me so much of my own brother(kind of eerie) I think they did just what Jeff would have wanted.Could just hear the pain in Steve's voice. Ya'll did right by Jeff and that's what counts!!
wow this is awesome... i can feel the pain though, and it makes me love these guys more... and to see how good mike looked, growing his hair long like jeff and pulling it back like jeff as well! and the saddest thing to me is to know where mike is right now... thats why ya gotta make the best of what ya have at any given time and NEVER take anything for granted and just live life.
I think Lukather was affected the most-I dont know how you guys went on, I dont think I personally could have done it- You guys are so strong and I admire you guys more than you could ever know
V E R Y Hard to digest the Passing Of Jeff . Hearing His Brother Mike speaking about how the Band and family has to move on with Life is heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time , if that makes sense . And Mike left too , too damn early .
thanks for uploading! second, first time seeing this (jeff is my favorite drummer at the moment) and steve is wearing an eraserhead t-shirt!!! the david lynch-toto link has finally shown itself to exist. who would have thought? r.i.p. jeff.
@drewper73 It was almost divine. Simon is a GREAT guy, monster drummer and fit in so well in Toto's style. There couldn't have been a better guy. I used to think that Vinnie Coluaita would have been the guy.
LOVING Steve's "Eraserhead" shirt. Always a beautiful thing when some of your favorite things work themselves into each other without trying to. I'm probably the only hardcore Toto/David Lynch fan out there! Other than Luke. R.I.P. Jeffery.
Accent wise, yes, as they were both born in Connecticut. Voice wise, not at all. Jeff had a deep, slightly baritone voice. Mikey's voice sounds lighter
This looks like every bit of film/takes in this video cuz seriously how many times do they have to say that "they feel real bad BUT we just had to go on" ( too many takes)
Simon was a great choice. I also thought J.R. Robinson would have been great. But J.R. had a similar groove and played the hat somewhat like Jeff. But Jeff was a moment in time which we shall never experience again. RIP JP
Simon Phillips is a good drummer for sure but he does not have the groove that Jeff Porcaro had. Toto is better with Jeff than Simon in my opinion and I don't listen to them with Simon as much as with Jeff.
Right bro, that's exactly what I felt, when I heard Toto without Jeff. But Simon left Toto and they are touring now with Shannon Forrest, who gave me Toto back. Also Lenny Castro is touring with them again and giving an authentic feeling to the gigs. Nobody plays like Jeff, but the actual rhythm-section works out great.
