I wish Ann Wilson all the best. I saw Heart 5 times live. A great group. Cheers! 🙏✌️

I have loved the Moodies since 1967. Their music is timeless, and never grows old. Thank you for all the years of wonderful songs.

I have a Kansas story: A few years ago, I was in Arizona visiting my brother, one of my best friends, and other friends and family as well, and I were in Arizona (where I was raised from around 10 years old in 1971, and lived there until...huh, it'll be 11 years ago tomorrow)...we decided to go to Gila River Casino (the Wild Horse Pass one), to do a little fun gambling. While we were there, this guy locked in on us and approached my brother, and started talking to him, and then quickly got to the chase. He told my brother that he had 2 tickets to Kansas, who was playing at the casino, and the show was going to start within the hour, and was not able to go to it, because something had come up. He offered to give the tickets to us, and I believe the only stipulation that he wanted was that we wouldn't waste the tickets, and actually go to the show. Now I graduated high school in '79, so Kansas was in the mix of all the music that had come out during that time frame. Anyway, my brother called me over to hear what the guy was throwing out there. I told my brother that we had to do it...I mean even if it wasn't completely the original line up of Kansas, if some of the original members were in there, I had confidence that the current line up would be pretty much be striving to do those songs with integrity. So without even thinking about going to a Kansas show five minutes before, not long after the guy offering us those tickets, we were sitting in great seats waiting for Kansas to hit the stage. So if the guy that gave us those two tickets is reading this comment, you know who you are, and I'd like to thank you on behalf of my brother and I, for giving us the opportunity to see that remarkable show, and hope you and yours are well. When I saw the first person of the band that this video is interviewing, I immediately recognized him as the original Lead Guitarist for Kansas, because he was on the stage that night. Thanks for the great music, Kansas, it is not unappreciated, and thanks to Rock Band History for making this video. Hope everyone in Kansas, as well as those at RBH, and yours, are doing well.

In this world now its either us women or men eye for an eye and thats the world... really sad..

Wow this is what happens with the reversal of feminine to masculine energy and when masculines are in volved it's not good... It was manifested by the women and these men were caught in the crossfire... The women held the power...it's the world today in its totality.. or it's what is coming. With respect Ps it should have been 50/50 but it clearly wasn't, don't let it ruin you.

whatever they say -- for me, as a regular fan -- Union was a fantastic album that brought such joy in my life at the time

I saw Kansas with Steve. They were really good!

BOC are the Greatest more BOC please

Teenager in High School when "Agents of Fortune" was released, was so big in my school, every car had it blasting. Finally got to see Live in small club was 1998 or 1999, were Touring "Heaven Forbid".

Journey of the Sorcerer may be my favourite rock instrumental of all time. Yes I say Rock, despite the banjo. I only knew it first as Theme Song for Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, the original TV series. Then I realized it was on my sister's copy of One of These Nights. One of These Nights is their strongest album, hands down. It is more cohesive, creative, gorgeous sounding. Yes Hotel California is their pinnacle as a band and song, but you can't tell me the album of the same name is a better one. To me it sounds overall unhappy.

Yes a very nice man

From most accounts, none of them did. They'd all been led to believe one thing, but when they got there, it ended up being something completely different. "Meanwhile..." ended up being a bunch of studio musicians with 10cc as special guests. And then Polydor had the nerve to drop them just because the album did poorly. They should have just stood aside and let 10cc do what they did best. It would have been great to have some new Godley and Creme flight of fancy like "Somewhere in Hollywood" or "One Night in Paris." Post-Godley and Creme 10cc were decent enough, but they really didn't do whimsy very well, definitely not like Kevin and Lol did.

Steve's voice was shot a long time before he finally retired. I was fortunate to see Kansas at the University of Illinois Assembly Hall during the Monolith tour. I really only knew the Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, and Monolith stuff at the time. One of the high points of the concert was when they did Child of Innocence from Masque. I always liked the songs where both Steve Walsh and Robby Steinhardt sand lead parts like in Child of Innocence and Closet Chronicles.

It was a Beautiful Album...I first heard it on the radio and then went to buy the album. I fell in love with it when I met my First serious Beau. Thank you dear Justin for your Beautiful Music.

Geffen had Rabin under contract for awhile and they couldn't find a project. They had him audition with Asia. That demo is on KZbin. It is weird to hear Rabin sing lead vocals and Wetton backing vocals. Geffen ended up releasing him from the contract. Trevor Rabin was going to front Cinema. Trevor Horn felt it wouldn't work. If you get the 90125 CD now they added all those as B sides. When they had Squire reach out to Anderson they changed it to Yes.

Wonder if he had chronic eppstin barr....mono.

I am surprised to hear there are any detractors....the Hackett band versions of these classic Genesis tunes are more faithful and yet have more energy and power than any of the actual Genesis version over time..Listen to Supper's Ready at Royal Albert Hall or Los Endos at Hammersmith...i can't get over how good they sound and am grateful i get to hear these versions. I have listened to the Hackett Hammersmith Los Endos (and countless other versions) a gazillion times by now and have found there's no other version of Los Endos out there on youtube where the band playing the tune powers into Squonk like the Zeppelin tune they were trying to imitate (when they wrote it) ...i can't get over how good it sounds. Hackett is literally bringing Genesis quality music, on youtube and other media, that is extremely reverent to the original and with production qualities beyond what's available even from the band Genesis..so i don't care what anyone else thinks. genesis, the band, went out on a whimper with their live shows, playing songs i didn't really care for and barely grazing the past with Collins in a chair, singing octaves lower.. screw the people that think Hackett ought not to do this or that

Just saw Foreigner last night. Not 1 original member. So it's like paying full price to watch a cover band.

I actually got to see L&F in concert during the Serge days. Vlad was there also. Got to meet Danny Seraphine and Jeff Coffey as well. Good times.

Mick is the trash of the band! Greedy people are useless!!! Foreigner is nothing without Lou Gramm!!

Brilliant soundtrack/score. I remember reading Michael winner the director, he said Jimmy was at his house, knocked on the doors, and when Michael opened it..said Jimmy almost got knocked over by the wind.. because he was so sickly thin (heroin) 😅 funny but not funny. I'm surprised Jimmy was able to produce any music under that grip. I am an artist/illustrator/art director and when I was using heroin back in 2019-21 I couldn't function, and it impared, fractured my drawing and mind thought. I couldn't get it together to work on a project or anything...and this is just drawing/painting. I couldn't imagine playing a guitar and other instruments. I give him credit for producing brilliant music for death wish 2 and in through the out door /presence. Bloody hell I couldn't even keep me eyes open and here's Jimmy creating a great soundtrack 👍🏻🎸 I'm glad he's well..I hope. Death wish one is my all time favourite film, death wish 2 was good but defo not as brilliant as the first one. Good video mates, cheers.

It's so hard to think he's been gone almost a year... I keep coming back to listen to this interview because he sounds so happy and contented and it was done before all the really bad stuff happened with his health. Thank you for leaving it up.

This is heartbreaking to hear. I would like to hear micks side of the story about this song and the working relationship in general. I suspect Lou is accurately stating the obvious. You can hear it the disjointed production on agent provocateur. Sinply, all male singers know that Lou Gramm laid down vocals in the studio and live that are unparralelled. Absolutely, unbelievable performances that were a measurement of any singer to try to sing. I would always wonder how is he going to pull this off live. I had the true honor to see foreigner on that tour in toronto. Listening to lou gave you chills. Every single note, and he would even take it further. One of the highlights of my life was seeing him sing. For the people that truly know how rare a voice and heart and soul this guy has, you know all the sentiments from others below is true. Foreigner would not have even gotten to a third album without the voice and heart of Lou Gramm. Just listen to album 4. No one can sing that album. It trully is up there with the singing of back in black, and bruce dickensen from iron maiden. All the best things of foreigner are in Lous solo albums. I particularly love long hard look. Im mean still today, i cannot believe his performances of those incredible songs. Go have a listen to foreigner live. Not to cut down the singer they have live, but its not even in the same category. The same as journeys replacement singers No Lou, like steve perrry was some gift from god that was allowed to create some of the best music ever. Thank you Lou for all you have done and continue to do for the world. You heart and drive in your voice inspired millions of people to go for it. In this world of extreme greed and straight up evil exposed today, your voice is like an angel of truth driving through.

My favorite is Miley Cyrus post Hannah Montana.

He talked about cigarettes-as-food in the Zappa Book (frank that is)

I remember when Chicago first started but I really love to hear Bill Champlin sing In The Heat of the Night. I think he is a great singer. I never heard of him until I saw the show with Carroll O'Conner but that was all it took. Now I seek him out on YT.

Saw the band in ‘83 in Hampton, VA…incredible show and performances. Outstanding!!!!

I knew Steve was phenomenal from first listen.. probably the most overlooked singer of the 70's maybe all time.. what a beautiful voice and talented at musical instruments as well !

I love Supertramp, I mean I really love them.

Taylor Hawkins was an awesome drummer but a hopeless drug addict and a famous junky!! A man with a young family, and children who loved drugs more than anything !! I do not see the point of glorifying a sad soul unless is used to be used as an example to younger generations that there is not any glory in drugs just a pathetic death that leaves broken souls behind him!!

Thank you John. That was a great obituary I shed a tear. I've seen Valerie on stage with James and as with all James's musicians he would not brook mediocrity. I hear the song Valerie sung at least 5 times a week at open mics and sadly most of the singers have no idea what they are singing or who. I always take the time on stage to explain. To sing Valerie without all that knowledge is like looking at a picture of a beautiful rose and never seeing and smelling a real one. RIP 🙏🌹

Thanks!

Today many bands are just monuments... Ac/Dc, Toto, Queen, Journey...

What a bitter man instead of being happy he was allowed to be in the band as long as he was.

Sounds bitter to me. Not a good look. The band has done pretty well without him...and Mr Roboto.

Rest in peace Dean Ford Thank you so much for the most beautiful soulful music. Goes straight to my heart.

Um... "Existential lyrics" in Don't Fear The Reaper? Where, exactly, did you hear that word? Might I most humbly suggest that you look up the meaning of any words that you've just picked up off the street, so to speak, without hearing them defined by someone who you're certain knows wtf he's talking about?
