Chris Robinson | Club Random with Bill Maher

[@capoman1]

Bill's motto on the show: Wow you're an interesting person, I'm glad you came to interview me and learn my special thoughts.

[@LucaMontana7]

And please excuse my pathetic low tolerance to pot and that I'm a lightweight trying to be a big dog on the porch even though I'm showing the entire world I can't hang...

[@Guitar_Wolf]

What's a "modo"?

[@ibuydigital1574]

Not an Interview, it's a conversation. Bill has stated this

[@capoman1]

@@ibuydigital1574 Bill treats the conversation AS IF HE IS BEING INTERVIEWED, as if we are all so anxious to only hear HIS THOUGHTS.

[@ronlee2611]

Dude keeps pulling Chris off topic. Bill, shut the up. Let him talk. Holy shit.

[@mikestibor1]

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companon was MY “Exile on Main Street”. Love that Chris is so much calmer and talkative now. Great interview!

[@stevef4010]

That album hooked me in forever. Epic.

[@wesbirch1969]

Mine is Amorica. I do love Southern Harmony, though. Awesome album.

Chris Robinson such an interesting well read great sense of humour guy. Was total pleasure this one.

[@michelleprather2803]

My husband and I saw this and immediately clicked to watch. Both my husband and I wished Bill had not talked over Chris so much. We are such big fans of Chris.

[@serendipityblu]

I agree! And it always happened when Chris was telling a really interesting story. Bill does an amazing monologue but he’s not the best interviewer.

[@ajparr5585]

I agree. Bill is self absorbed.

[@american_cosmic]

@@ajparr5585 He's not self-absorbed, he's just stoned.

Chris is very observant and interesting. Great interview.

[@tommeredith7462]

Chris is definitely a well read man. An intellectual. Speaks his mind effectively.

[@AgTigress]

Goodness, Chris is impressive. He is such a genuinely thoughtful, insightful and articulate person. Bill Maher is all over the place (for some fairly obvious reasons), but my already high opinion of Chris has just zoomed up even further.

[@mindykloster3540]

Love Chris Robinson & Black Crowes! Chris, very thoughtful kind intelligent man!

[@mrbizzarro]

17 minutes in, and bill has no idea what chris does in the band. 😂

[@MrMortadella1]

That was so cringeworthy. Might’ve been a good idea to google your guest before you talk to them Bill.

Hes high as hell ..Chris shared some of that voodoo weed with him before the show and it tore him up

90s kid from Alabama here, and I like and listen to many different genres and eras. Black Crowes are timeless!! They still rock and feel good!! Yay boys!! I still cry at "talks to angels"....it's a great song, but has some deep personal relevance for me and my family!

[@KISSTHESKYTRIBUTE]

Love the Jimi convo section.. glad to hear a long form interview with Chris Robinson but dam... wish Bill would stop interrupting him.

[@carlafarrace6779]

Thank you guys for getting together! I always wanted to hear Chris' voice outside of his craft. He's so easygoing and funny! I thought he lived in a coffin during the day 🤣! Chris could do well with a rock and roll podcast. He has a presence and a following of fans too. A recipe for fuckin awesome chats! Thank you again!

[@phish311420]

The guests truly are random ❤

[@weightingforamiracle]

What an interesting , funny, smart conversation. A good natural ebb and flow. Bravo to both of you.

[@danielsartain8330]

I’m a huge Crowes fan. Great podcast. BUT I wonder if the guests sign a waver before they come on saying you will let Bill interrupt you after every sentence…

[@surreyslurrey]

Just like a normal conversation, fancy that

[@dougw7804]

Amorica is an Island record for me, one of my all time faves, love Chris and the CRB/Crowes!

[@VMBeerli]

Very decent dude, Chris Robinson. Intelligent and looks at life through a perspective of a reader. You can always tell a genuine, deep reader from childhood. Great job man!

[@verybowie6086]

😎

[@anthonyparkinson4517]

I had no idea who this was but it was by far and away the best CR to date. Nice to hear someone else steering the conversation, and away from the usual Maher tropes. A rare instance of Bill being demonstrably more interested in his guest than himself.

[@MrMvidz]

Agree. What a difference to the episode with Patrick Bet David. It's nice that Trump isn't the topic on every show.

[@TheDefeatest]

Chris is a great , funny, informed and charming guest. Great episode.

[@KM-fckutube]

I saw the name Chris Robinson, and clicked immediately. I’m surprised I recognized the name considering I first saw black crows “hard to handle” on MTV when I was 9 or 10. Loved it!

[@kathrynmcelroy5658]

omg the music is so fucking fantastic. I wish we could go back. HOLY SHITBALLS.

[@Gmen1212]

They played that video/song on mtv all the time great song cover song

[@erijoh03]

I felt the same way!

[@Bluzian74]

SAME!! I had shit to do!! Wow! haha 2 fuckin' hours laterrrr!! LOL

[@sethstine4698]

Grateful Dead and Pigpen covered Hard to Handle from 69'-71' and it was great. Then over 20 years later the Black Crows covered it and it was just as great, if not better. When I think about the song Hard to Handle, the Black Crows version is always what comes to my mind. Well, that, and the Dead version from 8/6/71. "Yes I ram"

[@chadster7547]

Bill....could you possibly allow your guests to complete one gotdamn sentence without interrupting them...just one time?

[@dinasaidso]

😂🤣😅😆

[@steelermia]

sorry not happening lol

Addressing to Chris if he ever reads this... I remember when your first record came out. Our baseball team went on the travels winning state and losing in the regional finals. So close to the Junior world series tournament. Our team got to travel and the experience was amazing. "Hard to Handle", just broke, the New England circuit was blasting out your first record. I will never forget those days with my mates and coaches. We rode in minivans traveling blasting out new "Black Crowes" mixed in with Styx songs and "The Cult" Electric on the radio stations at the time. Good times . I got a refresh when I turned 19 and my elbow arm went bad. I really loved the "Amorica" album. I practiced guitar to your albums and CD's. 8 hours a day. Practiced and practiced. My favorite at the time was Albert King. The tone. He should be known as "Albertone King"

For sure, Patrick, Chris is a great student of the arts and music, is quite funny, candid and is a killer performer to boot, one of the best front men in rock. If you do, punch up his solo work of The Chris Robinson Brotherhood, leans away from the harder rock of the Crowes and more into the jammy side of music aka Little Feat, Allmans, Dead, they are awesome.

She Talks to Angles uses the same open tuning as Duane Alman's beautiful instrumental called Little Martha. If you slow Little Martha down, you can easily blend the rhythms, melodies and suddenly Little Martha has a voice. According to Duane Alman, Little Martha was taught to Duane by Jimmy Hendrix in a dream.

[@shable1436]

Jumping Jack flash, and can't always get what you want, Rocky mountain way. Open E tuning is one of the best slide tunings there is besides open D, and open G, they all have different flavors and variations of tones and moveable finger placements that are easy to remember. Good players can play the same song on all different tunings, capo of course if needed

The term underrated gets tossed around too easily in my opinion. That said, The Crowed are seriously very underrated. Their first two albums are iconic, iconic against all the grain that was happening at that time. And their albums that followed were just as good even though many people fell off due to a major style change in the late 90s scenes. Seeing them live, there are not many bands left that can do what they do live. And of course, there is always a sense of urgency with them because you never know how long the bros will get along 🤣

Your podcast here is still one of the best out here. Even though I disagree with some of your points we still get to have a normal debate instead of just blatantly cancelling or censorship like the past 5 years or so. Humans are mostly alike and like to debate on our future. Rogan, Alex Jones, Pat Bet David, Tucker Carlson, Cenk keep us all in check including your take on things. A healthy debate moving forward. If Chris Robinson reads this post then thank you. I will not get into what you inspired me to do throughout the years but you influenced me in so many ways in my youth and now decades later. I remember the show you all did in the mid 90's in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I think it was with Blues Traveler and a Festival of sorts. You all came out so stoned. You all sounded great especially after the opening song. Ha. Folks are figuring out the master plan of less than one percent of the population. It did not include everybody. Pick a side has been happening for a while now. Gene Decode calls it "Mankind vs Humankind". I call it Pro human vs Anti Human.
