Wow-thanks for the great interview. Just found it performing a search for Stan. I have played “you tell me” on repeat all morning and now afternoon. What a sound. Donald Duck on bass. Incredible. I didn’t know that. I really admired him. Liked both HB bass players. Love Donald.

Thanks for the interview guys-I was thinking about Stan this morning-hey -hey- HEY-it’s okay-it doesn’t happen often! I was just listening to the HB and hoped he was having a good life.

It's always good seeing Stan Lynch. I love your channel. Thank you John.

Stan got a pocket like nobody's effing business! Dylan, Petty True Confessions Tour MSG when I first felt this. Respect!

«You tell me» is my favorite song, and has some Stunning drumming by Stan Lynch. It’s like Stan Lynch and Jim Gorden in one 😎👍🏻

[@simonsays-me7eq]

shadow of a doubt to think on same record stan the man was the balls of that band

[@jedfearon]

Stan is a hoot. What a talented, funny guy! Fantastic interview, John.

Life changing record as a 19-year old drummer. I played this album 10,000 times!

[@drumdiscussion7776]

Thanks John and Stan for the breakdown of his beautiful playing. It is very inspirational and educational!❤

You’ve left me on the edge of my seat waiting for pt 2!

[@livefrommydrumroom]

Thanks everyone! 🙏

Way to dangle the carrot on 'Breakdown' there at the end, John! Ready for Part II now! Great stuff!

Another great interview, John. Like so many famous drummers you've interviewed in recent years, Stan Lynch comes across as being so humble. I appreciate the nostalgia of how those iconic records were created back then, with band members playing off of one another rather than as an isolated track recorded in Pro Tools. I'm very much looking forward to Part 2. By the way, was that a vintage Ludwig kit set up behind Stan?

I COULD NEVER NOT USE YOURF FINESSE. THANK YOU STAN ❤

Zane's book about Tom Petty presents an interesting take on the drumming performances on Damn the Torpedoes. Keltner seemed to be around a lot and played percussion. The HB were an unhappy bunch by 1979 for a whole number of reasons

I'm in the middle of the interview, but I had to hit pause so I could say,"Thanks, John, for this episode!" Stan is one of my all-time favorite drummers. He really made an impression on me when I saw him and the band performing on the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder in the early 80's. There's so much i can say but ultimately it comes down to Stan's feel. Like another of my favorites Charlie Watts, Stan plays for the song. So enough of my rambling just play the music and that'll tell you all you need to know about Stan's greatness. Thanks again John, incredible interview!

@@stevenjones9364 Thanks Steve! 🙏❤️

Another interesting interview. That band sounded very different when he was let go by Mr Petty. Ferrone is a phenomenal musician. Is tithe case that most bands sound different when drummers are replaced, the groove just sits different. Like Sorum in Guns n Roses or even Jordan in the Stones touring band. Not saying any is better or worse, just different in the pulse. As a bass player you feel it instantly when drummers change in bands.

[@simonsays-me7eq]

totally agree wasnt what it was tp saying he was a great live drummer but the studio was another thing was bs
