The history of music cannot be told without a chapter on Glyn....thanks for the posting!!

[@2Uahoj]

Very strange that the interviewer has no idea of the strong connection between the church and popular music, which is heavily based in Gospel and the Blues. Many of the classic pop artists began by singling or playing in church, including, Aretha franklin, the individual Beatles, Elvis, Whitney Houston, etc.

[@ihatespam2]

They have this new thing. Little mics you can clip on your collar, check it out.

[@SluffAdlin]

Glyn's brother Andy was also an accomplished producer/engineer. Andy worked worked on Led Zeppelin IV, to name one.

[@finch45lear]

..and The Stones Exile in the South of France. Too many temptations there.

[@Bluzian74]

and his son Ethan has an excellent track record as well!! (Kings of Leon, White Denim, Ray Lamontagne etc....)

[@Twotontessie]

Johns is awesome. Funny! Gracious but also kind of a straight shooter.

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

39:33 - 46:35 Led Zeppelin (Page, Jones, and John Bonham's drum mic set-up)!

[@kudalaMangalooru]

" Why is that you've got a mic stand and I have to hold the bloody thing? " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :) Seriously, Scott could have made better audio arrangements for a legendary engineer & producer like Glyn. Nonetheless, a great interview.

[@stugreen7937]

Great guy

[@meshplates]

Interviewer keeps interrupting and moving him on from a story before it's finished to another and then interrupts that one. So bloody annoying.

[@Frip36]

The old man rambles like old men do. Interviewer is working under time constraints.

[@joeherbert7555]

He also employs that annoying 'Bob Newhart' style intentional stammer. Cou-cou-could you tell us a-a-about John Bonham's drums? Fortunately, Johns manages to ignore it and provides some fantastic stories.

[@satchfan2010]

I wish the host would stop saying ''sure''.

[@2Uahoj]

No Beatles question 😕

[@chrisash2801]

his disdain for the interviewer is pretty apparent every time a question is asked lol

[@angelicaquirarte]

Why he is acting like that he is always grumpy, but if the guy that made the interview is the son of a friend of hers he is the nicest one, the man never learn respect or class , since get back seems very arrogant, his son is more nicer than her (good job mom)lol, nos i understand why people have problems with her not everybody is arrogant , you see what your mirror reflects the guy is always complaing about arrogant people he work with but i think the worst was herself for sure

[@angelicagonzalez151]

The guy who made the interview was nice and glyn was passive agressive comments

[@laciestockman5079]

DAMN ! THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET HIM A MIC STAND ?

[@satchfan2010]

''Difficult types'' Oh, cut the PC bullshit. Why not let Glyn say it as it is.

[@jonswiftlive3179]

derrick st hubbins at 70 he he

[@sunitapatravali1085]

Hey he is really miffed by want the eagles said about him in the documentary ha ha, well the general opinion was that the documentary was very good

[@callithowiseeit5806]

You just get the impression swanning around being posh and knowing so-and-so in the early 60s just about got you anywhere you wanted back then, no-one I hear in any medium of that era seemed to have hand any interest in or know anything about the position they 'found themselves in', not much has changed lol

[@raydematio7585]

Do stop whining

[@rhodsullivan7773]

Andy Fairweather Low too.

[@Frip36]

Glyn keeps saying "boring". OK dude, then be interesting.

[@satchfan2010]

He is very interesting and bloody funny!

[@Bushface13]

Dude ?

[@montysonful]

Good engineering no mic for audience. Must be new technique.

[@yournamehere7182]

18:00 🤷‍♂️

[@richardbowes6897]

The book is interesting, and Scott is a pleasant host

[@Barry101er]

" Johns is a total dick ": no he's not!

[@SluffAdlin]

I know, if we didn't have Glyn John's we probably wouldn't have "Who's Next" by The Who. It was Glyn's idea to convince Pete Townshend to turn his abandoned "Lifehouse" project into songs which became that album. Songs like Baba O'Riley and "Won't Get Fooled Again" to name a few.

[@superfuzzymomma]

yea man!
