Two extremely influential musicians reliving a past golden era of music recording culture in LA that would be difficult for the average person to know much of anything about. And they talk like they don't realize we're all listening. 10/10
What a great interview! Two class acts and talented musicians! Huge Lee sklar fan! Seen him play so many times with James Taylor and Jackson Browne and section 8! What a bassist as is John! Loved the conversation about all the past players and all the good stuff that you never hear. What a blessing tx to Lee and John!
"How about that foreskin???"…at 33:09…..hahaa! I love it! They`re greats! What I really dig is what Sklar said: He always wants to let other people/musicians good so he likes to give compliments – one of the best rules for human encounters one could ever give. Not just musicians. Thank god for Youtube, and Warwick!
It's a shame this is so short. These guys could go on with gold nugget stories for days, not to mention the stuff you can pick up about character and how to carry yourself in this industry.
I enjoyed this interview/dialogue immensely. Almost 35 minutes in its entirety and if you listened to some of the scenarios and name dropping within context you have to be in awe and thoroughly impressed with the careers of both of these legends. I can only imagine how many more stories that they could swap being in the business for so many years. I had absolutely no clue that Lee played bass on "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To). His bass parts are simple, and extremely brilliant from a standpoint of providing foundation & feel. Lee can groove and funk too, & as he mentioned, w/o the slap/pop technique. Watch him live on any of the Phil Collins tours on DVD. 'Framus and Warwick' can we get some more parts to this interview? + ChrisJoyeMusic is right. I was hoping that this was a 3 or 4 part series. JP is one of THE BEST Bassplayers on the planet. Guys still study and transcribe his bass solos. You know its good when you feel like 35 minutes of information was too quick.
