Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown at Home

[@gregpaynter7655]

He is the real deal, a wise man, and a great musician. Take heed folks.

[@TheSnoopindaweb]

These kids know they will recall Gate forever and tell the story many times. R.I.P. Gate, 🙏⚰🪦💐🌻🌼Yup,! G-G 😀 😄 👑👋‼ Yup❗ 🤠 G-G.

[@teiltje]

Famous last words...Magic. RIP Gate. This interview is legendary and honoring the true multi instrumentalist. Thanks for posting!

[@marknikara3175]

ups to these young students...they asked some good questions.

[@stevetusk5614]

Gate could play anything ..... the best multi instrumentalist ever!!

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

😂😂😂 I love the guy but please!!! He only plays easy pentatonic licks. Nice music but extremely easy

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

Blues that you can understand, written in a sophisticated way, what people can understand, play to your audience, make them a part of it, American music-Texas style.♥️

[@dalehumphrey8765]

This man was truly great...in all areas of his life..down to earth, and for real.

[@avidrdr5640]

In the mid 90's he and his band spent a few hours at the truck stop where I worked while their tour bus was being repaired. I worked the shoe shine stand and shined 2 pairs of his boots. Since he played most genres of music, I asked him which was his favorite. He said "Whatever I'm playing at the moment". We had some interesting chitchat, he tipped well, then joined me in the restaurant and bought me dinner.

[@shawnmcginnity1725]

One of the most talented guys of all time

[@lukeg2091]

What a cool guy. Lots of wisdom.

[@lawrenceray3545]

To put it bluntly and in short words this man was astronomical

[@Buelligan88]

Always heard his man had an incredible work ethic on top of his amazing talent.

[@dennisscalici8217]

I saw Gatemouth three X's. Twice on the "Blues Cruise" trips out of lower Manhattan, and at the Beacon Theatre with Levon Helm. First time was after the "Long Way Home" C.D. Second time after the "Gate Swings" C.D. A good down to earth man, very friendly, and a great musician. The home interview is wonderful. I miss Gate very much. R.I.P.

[@gerrydegruiter4196]

I miss my friend and my surrogate father.......Gabe is a class act with a big heart which exudes truth never holds back and tells it like it is "Truth". His writing/composing performing his many songs are as diverse as he is......what a personable man who took me under his wing and we spent hours together daily when he was not on the road which is his greatest passion. His love of classic cars are indicative of his romantic side....he is hard on the outside and warm and soft on the inside.....Love ya Gate sorry you are a victim of Katrina.....still salute your waterfront home everytime I pass by.

[@holyspacemonkey]

It’s so sad that he’s gone. I know it’s much harder for people like you who had a personal relationship with him. I hope videos like this make it a little easier for you. ❤️

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

You are indeed very fortunate and blessed to have been mentored by a worthy sage🙏🏻

[@ThomasBeck-y3y]

Your words for him ring with the truth of his profoundly enlightened music. Gate was vibrating on a high level like a saint. A crusty ole cantankerous saint. I never got that close to him but i loved him with my heart.

[@waynegoodman4561]

i saw gatemouth in 1981, in a club called the belle star, in colden, ny. my then wife were sitting at a large table, waiting for the show to begin. then a lady came over and asked if she and her husband could sit at our table. we said sure, and it was mr brown's wife. he came over and introduced himself. they sat with us for the rest of the night between sets. the show was great, and they were the nicest couple. i will never forget that.

[@FreemanLittle]

I met this guy my 1st yr at OU after shooting B&W 35mm and producing the film and contact sheets in my black/bathroom...how I made a living and started my business as a freelancer. This man is so my blues hero I can't think of but one other, Mr BB King that I would put in a class with at the top of the class.... a true artist of artists.

[@CrossBonesAlex]

Absolute gem ❤- thanks for uploading it

[@beetledust]

Lucky to see a gig of his at the 8×10 in Baltimore in the 90s gatemouth blew it away....good times....

[@brentabbott3954]

Just so you know!!! Ive smoked hippie hay with this man!!!! On chimes street

[@davidhuffaker4559]

IT WAS AN HONOR TO KNOW HIM !!! IT WAS A BLESSING FROM GOD

[@michaelduggan1890]

This man has its in his blood . I love his music

[@Mikelovision]

02:39 he nails it. Everyone is trying to sound like someone else instead of developing their own style.

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

“Get under” best advice ever…

[@davidchappell8407]

Thank you Clarence ! and thank you youngsters for the interview !

[@danielhornbeck6588]

Their questions are perfect.

[@thebeatcreeper]

One of my first blues records was a Clarence Gatemouth Brown Lp, had the track " Pressure Cooker" on there, seriously funky. Amazing musician.

[@outjazzer]

Great interview! much thanks

[@AjSjMusicNYNJ]

Many years ago I heard Gatemouth LIVE at the Village Gate in NYC. He was outrages! The band was on point.

[@JukeJohnson]

I love what he said about originality! Masters Class!

[@dendogg55]

Awesome!!!!

[@jean-lucbersou758]

Document magnifique,très interessant par le jeu des questions-réponses mené "tambour battant" et l'acuité et la pertinence des propos .C'est un précieux témoignage et un grand moment de l'intimité d'un génie que nous partageons avec l'immense et regretté Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown .Merci .

[@reneask79]

Thank you so much for this

[@BlindWillieJackson]

I saw Gatemouth almost every time he came to DFW (probably 15 - 20 shows). I got to have several chats with him. One time I asked him about recording with Ali Farka Touré & Ry Cooder. He just shook his head and chuckled "Ahh, those crazy Africans!" He plays percussive rhythm guitar on "Diaraby" which is PRI's "The World" theme song. . . mesmerizing.

[@shawnmcginnity1725]

Miss him so much rip gatemouth

[@bsimon10]

You want to be a better musician and performer? watch this! What a class act.

[@AjSjMusicNYNJ]

GOOD ADVICE!!

[@thetreblerebel]

A true ambassador of music. Dude has played the blues,country, everything. With class style and dignity. True ambassador

[@edisonsilva2499]

É uma pena que ele tenha ido embora um gênio um talento incomparável que deus o tenha na paz

[@bsnf-5]

E um guitarrista incrivel, nunca vi alguem tocar a violao assim, juro

[@consuelo6849]

A REAL, Gifted Artist..He was Born with It..What a Sweetheart...I Like His Style..

[@lecabannis]

amazing interview guys! good job and thank you very much!! ONE LOVE

[@fougee1]

At 23:34 Gatemouth says about Eric Clapton we were together 3 months 3 Long months. Don't think he enjoyed those months too much. RIP Mr.Brown you were a legend for sure.

[@claychandler3468]

These youngsters are getting an education and getting a different Viewpoint from somebody who was around long before they were born making music I like this you're educating the children of today that's what we need learn from the elderly or the older group from way before they are teachers not what we have in school they were here and there and they knew what it was like to have a life before we ever knew

[@willwatz7065]

Kids did a good job asking questions.

[@fjb3544]

A legend

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

All over the world . . . you get stuck and don’t go any further than when they started…wise words.

[@shaneclark8275]

Very knowledgeable man with lots of wisdom to share. Anyone know who the girl is conducting the interview by chance?

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

Whatever it is I can do it…positive thinking.

[@paulinebutcherbird]

Frank Zappa was a fan of many of Gatemouth's contemporaries. He bemoaned the fact that many of them ended up working in gas stations to support themselves because no one wanted to hear them after rock'n'roll hit in the 60s. Gatemouth was one of the survivors, and rightly so.

[@antarctic8560]

He worked real hard on the chitlin circuit through the years brother!

[@DanTaylorSr]

Gate reminds me of Chuck Berry meets BB King.

[@imannonymous7707]

Music was good to clarence he was always in demand in some fashion on some insturment with all his peers respect in tact

[@magprob]

Hurricane Katrina destroyed his home. He died shortly thereafter. I'm sure he was just heart broken. He was a massive talent with more than enough dues paid to back it up.

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

“Creative noise is no good for you” highs and lows to music. Develop on your own. Don’t listen to it. You can Tell right from wrong…clowning - everybody can’t be a leader-be firm but be good-know what your doing-they know what I want and that’s what they do. No-two leaders-can’t have two kings on one throne-one leader points other people as to what he wants done. Rest, no booze, no drugs, be prepared for work-no partying-get rest-party as you perform.

[@thetreblerebel]

"I ain't BB King. I don't name guitars man"

[@jaturungkabart5554]

There should be a movie about Clarence. Perhaps call it The Natural.

[@paulinebutcherbird]

Does anyone know how old he was during this interview?

[@TsunamiDreamJesusIsLord]

Praise God

[@willrich3908]

wish he'd been my teacher.

[@brentabbott3954]

I smoked pot with Ole gate mouth on the side of LSU at the bar many times. Great man.I never knew he was famous. He was just the old Black guy with the hat the belt buckle and the cowboy boots.good time's

[@gedsoft3793]

23:30 about being on the road with Eric Clapton :D

[@597158madroofer]

my homie...

[@The1066BMJ]

His main guitar is a non reverse Gibson Firebird.

[@Joepepelombardo]

This dude here was Frank Zappa bigest hero he learnd from this dude,Frank was all his own,Diffrent band members diffrent sounds not like u know the Floyd sound or the Who sound Zeplyn sound they have there sound cause its the same people playing

[@thetreblerebel]

"The hecks with someone else's sound!"

[@paulinebutcherbird]

When is the Eric Clapton question. I've listened to this, I didn't hear it.

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

Payin’ attention like my Daddy told me.

[@christianheymann7706]

Chris de la Perriere

[@imannonymous7707]

I DONT THINK THESE KIDS KNEW WHO BENNY GOODMAN IS LOL

[@lofiftyfifty9206]

One guitar-one fiddle…you don’t need all those guitars to make a statement. 1966 Gibson Firebird, leather pick guard…no naming no guitar. Drummer- don’t drag it, don’t rush it, pay attention to leader, play attention to dynamics.

[@brentabbott3954]

He grew the pot! I matched him.

[@johnnymac5228]

He smoked right up to when he died.

[@LPDESIGNS1]

A8gb

[@luizcarlospalanca3108]

He is , democrata our Republicano ?

[@omaricoleman3964]

Seems a little arrogant and cantankerous..
