Why do my.calls go to.voicemail instead of ringing

I am from UK but lived in the US for a while in the 70s and loved the Doobies then and they are even better now. But for all the focus on Tom and Pat, John McFee is the standout for me. He is an incredible musician.

Its enough . Depart.

I never want you get out. Not this year. Never want you. Please moved on.

The Doobie Brothers is actually 4 bands in one. Outdoorsy Pat Simmons, Tom The Workingman Johnston, Michael The Dreamer, McFee The Aesthete. In the last 10 years when we have seen all four of them live, there have been so many times one or the other has joined a rendition that was was originally composed without them. The Doobies' signature is the space their compositions have for an entire Horns and Reeds section - you could add a Big Band and it would still feel as if there's enough room left for a full orchestra. McFee in this maybe the only popular guitarist who can rock and roll and swing with all this.

At 1:16, I hear ya buddy! Big time, same for me!

❤ it

Incredible interview. Incredible guitarist. I've been a huge fan of Nili for several years. This interview is a gift. Thank you.

Awesome drummer

Troy if you ever read these Big Bob! from hws!

I can remember in 10th grade sitting out in the bleachers smoking pot with Troy the principal would come out and tell us to go to class at Troy would tell him he didn't need school he was going to be a rockstar!

You are such a great man. I do think you have a natural talent. I know you have worked so hard to make such lovely music. One of the best all around musicians in our generation.

❤🩷✌️🤙🏻

its cool that krys survived as long as he has in 3eb. its a shame they don't play more of his songs live compared to kevin and tony's songs but those are the hits i guess so here we are.

My favorite Doobie Bro. His humility is obvious on stage and off. Saw band twice last year and he always had my attention. Pat and Tommy are blessed to have his talents.

One of my favorites and so under appreciated amongst the drumming community.

❤❤

Troy never disappoints.❤

Just seeing this great interview..John is my favorite player/singer of The Doobie Brothers...he is so so talented and down to earth...yes a musician not a rock star...although you definitely are in my book...I have a little crush..love you John!! ❤

Great interview questions and answers to give us fans some insight! Especially the end of the discussion where Joel says that they've control over what they do and they're more interested in writing about the world events and what affects us than creating songs that are about the cosmos ...or some sugar on top of sugar! Hope you got to the Memorial Tour shows this year, Cris. Me? 3 times Memorial! Twice on their 1st tour in 2022! I'm addicted, though. Thank God they're finally touring NA! The people do not know what they're missing here... so they don't charge enough! The venues are intimate. FANS: Go VIP!! They earn it! They play hard for us! Expect Joel to stare at you while performing ...there just ain't nothin' like it in the world to have this man singing these songs.. directly to YOU! You'll be high the rest of the night! So, BUY THEIR MERCH, FANS! BUY MERCH!!! Support Soen so they can keep creating! God Bless You Cris for snagging this interview! Nice channel! Subscribed! And thanks for your time, Joel! I know it's hard to talk on tour to save your voice, so this was a treat to listen to and get a glimpse of your beautiful home! Cigars, eh? You exude class, head to toe. ❤ Soen, please keep your foot on the gas pedal. The World needs your messages! NOW!

Good interview! We like to know more of this great band. The lyrics are in general fantastic!

It's good to hear props given to Tiran Porter and to the departed drummers.

John has a great understated sense of humour which i adore. Such a charming man as well as a fantastically talented musician. His will be a life well lived x

Brilliant insights Mr Holsapple!

Speaking of the Stones and opening acts...it was either '69 or '70 that the Stones played in Ft. Collins Colorado at a relatively small college basketball arena and the opening act was some guy that most of the audience had never heard of at the time...B.B. King, LOL.

To maintain the skills that John and the other musicians in the Doobies have at their ages takes a huge amount of self-discipline and work, including to keep the body, hands, voice and brain in condition to play the music, not to mention of course their huge talent.

Thank you so much for this interview! I feel exactly the same way that McFee does whenever I hear Takin it to the Streets.

❤🔥🌀🤘

John your an amazing bloke.. Keep on rocken...mate...

It sounds like markiplier

Hello, If you are hearing this recording it means I saw your name on the caller ID and hit “Decline.” If you were someone I truly cared about, I would have answered immediately. I will call you back. However, the time frame for that depends on how unpleasant you are. If you are only mildly annoying, I should get back to you in the next hour. If you are pushy and full of yourself, do not expect to hear from me this year.

As a member ....as a fan... great interview boyz!!!

One of the most talented musicians I've ever seen / heard, .... a very big contributor to the Doobie Brothers, He would be hard if not impossible to replace. I would say he's modest, but he's a giant in the music world !

Host talks too much!

A fine way to spend 45 minutes at the end of a Friday….. Good conversation, gentlemen…👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎸🇺🇸 Mike Campbell….”How many guitars does a guitarist need?” “One……..more…”

Good times, Cris!

i just saw a dogs of war concert from n.m. where they played a thousand years. mike porcaro was a friend of mine and i loved what he did on the bass with that song but i also loved what john did with his bass on that song, really cool work john!!!

Yes, that empty drum kit would have been poignant.

Tribute Band. Not the original Guess Who.

Buddy Rich and Matt Frenette were my 2 biggest influences on the drums.

Bill Gibson from Huey Lewis is taking drum lessons from a guy at Berkley at his age..have u evva listened to his grooves w huey all of a thick big sound. Awesome ..i.move this instrument. I got my 1st set at 50 years old

Keltner was JEff Pocaros fav drummer😊

Jim Keltner. JOHN BLUE ONE OF THE BEST W JACKSON BROWN. I JUST HATE WHAT HE WENT THROUGH WHAT HE DID..I DO NOT JUDGE.

Left my last job because owner never came around to correct the company misspending and give half a f_/k about his employees now said company has lost more than half its labor force (the productive half) to local competitors.

Promo`SM 🤪

Derek Sharp = a pretender who thinks he is famous but he actually just covers hit songs of others and has none of his own.

I would say this was recorded when Toto was in Raleigh NC. I would say it was recorded at the State Fair grounds.

Love you always John Pierce. Your awesome

Gotta protect soen at all cost.
