Homeskoolin’ Special Edition, “Joe Vitale”

[@sirfultonbishop]

Joe Vitale! What a great interview! Uncle Larry knows all the cool kids!

[@slaphead8835]

Joe Vitale is truly an unsung hero in rock music. Not many people know him by name and he probably couldn't care less. But he made enormous contributions in so many ways. I read album cover credits. I know what he has done. I have always been a huge fan.

[@josephsichting8162]

Always love hearing Vitale stories. So much valid experiences. I would kill to hang out with Joe. Maybe some day, hope and pray!

[@johowohoj]

I remember hearing both of those Joe’s on the old barnstorm records!!! Fantastic stuff… And I remember being shocked that Joe joined the Eagles… Glad he never gave up his solo career… ok, so I like the Eagles they just didn’t sound to my ear like a Joe Walsh…Until Joe joined them…🎉

[@otisgibbs]

This is some heavyweight shit, Tom! Thank you so much for taking the time to record this!

[@501chorusecho]

Thanks bro

[@dustinrieseberg8707]

This is an interview for the fucking history books. Thanks for doing this one, Joe is a legend!

[@tombstoneslim7070]

Mr Tom, I have to tell you that what I love the most about you, besides your amazing musical ability, is how you truly admire and respect these folks that have created this amazing music. I love how you honestly cherish good music!! Thank you so much for sharing with us!!

[@a.m.phaneuf6164]

Southern Cross…GREAT song

[@toddpowers5373]

“Don’t fuck with magic”, truth.

[@MADRADIOOFFICIAL]

Great interview Uncle Larry. Joe is the man!

[@mickeysoltys6960]

Thanks for this, Tom. Barnstorm is one of my desert island records. I’ve worn out several copies. Vitals probably knows but Dylan recently said a lot of good things about “Pretty Maids All in a Row”

[@marklewallen6387]

Wow! Funny, informative, educational….and entertaining. Thanks!!!

[@kitano0]

I'm 67...I remember seeing Joe Vitale's name EVERYWHERE on album liner notes, credits etc. What an inspiration!

[@mikegodhard7211]

There was definitely some special magic sound on the album “smoker you drink…” thank you Joe V. Joe W, Kenny and Rocke

[@stringlocker]

I was holding back but I have made my decision this is the best guitar Channel on KZbin.

[@j.d...]

This interview is amazing. Watched it twice! Great stories!

[@benjamincurlutu565]

A friend for over 50 years...have also been fortunate to have played with him several times...a better man you'll never meet! Joe Vitale, the consummate pro! 💖

[@syfman6]

Pretty Maids, one of the most beautiful songs ever written. 💚🎸

[@alexashleymusic]

What a gem. And I cannot believe Joe wrote "Pretty Maids All in a Row." GREAT song!

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Joe Vitale you kidding me? This is a royal personage! So much music and enablement, this guy made so much possible.

[@pedrodiaz5540]

I’m learning about magic and myself, Vitale’s song Never gonna leave you alone is the last song I heard as a single man, and now when I learn that Collins song Misunderstanding have something to do with Rocky Mountain Way …. It’s unbelievable I need to read his book Back stage pass

[@markfuller8047]

Thanks, gents! I was 14 when Barnstorm played Colorado Springs city auditorium. just down I-25 from Nederland, when Rocky Mountain Way was all over the radio. Kid drummer I was and I vividly remember Joe's Ludwig psychedelic red oyster kit, 2 racks on a stand between double kicks. I think Sugarloaf opened the show. Thx for the in depth, Larry. Joe V = Legend.

[@stratcat9432]

I think I can speak for the Whole class when I say this Tom..Any good friend of yours ,Is most definitely a friend of ours. ❤

[@sangertx9077]

When I heard the story about him wanting to play with Phil Collins, getting an opportunity to do it but declining because of ethics (he’d already given CS&N his word)…I said to myself, “Yep, makes sense why Tom would have this guy in his circle for 30 years and counting.”

[@edkutschke814]

For anyone out there who may not know Joe's solo album Plantation Harbor is an incredible record. Thanks for this Tom you're the best!

[@derekmouldey7120]

Like so many I only know Mr Vitale from his first couple of Walsh records. Thank you so much for these fabulous stories. The Rocky Mountain and Life's Good stories is what keeps this weekend warrior's dream alive.

[@krisptaco]

I'm so glad I found this channel. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤this is beautiful. One of my favorite songs in the whole world, Pretty Maids❤️

[@j.b.2893]

Saw Joe playing with Smile when someone cut the power at the local high school gym gig. Joe continued to play drums and flute at the same time. Amazing.. Smile backed up Glass Harp.

[@dscottwerth]

1. I have Plantation Harbor on vinyl! 2. Joe Vitale expresses my sentiments about your channel perfectly. 3. Thank you! Great video!

[@harrisknight1347]

"Theme From Boat Weirdos"...my fav song collaborative effort by Walsh/Vitale ever...Joe Vitale's contribution to that number is epic...Goddamn Uncle Larry!!! Great interview!!! I was so pissed because I missed that show here in Cbus because I was driving back from my Mom's home in Va...But I pulled into Dublin in time to get it on the PPV channel...Thanks again!!!

[@doughamblin9160]

Joe V about my favorite drummer Ive ever had the pleasure of working with

[@chiochio94]

What an awesome dude

[@craigw3014]

Hey Tom, old white guy here, fantastic interview! I love that stuff how things were put together back in the day the history of a song, a band, I love that shit!!! Just started following your channel again with the Otis Gibbs videos and just realized what a great guitarist you are, you look like you’re playing with reckless abandon but you know what the f*** your doing , wish I had that ability.

[@BobSacamano226]

Plz do more long form interviews. You are great at this. History. Thanks so much

[@jansbamusic4778]

Joe Vitale , music legend! Tom...not only is your insight on guitarplaying/teaching the most freshest I have seen on KZbin, but those amazing interviews that tell music history and insight of the minds of musical geniuses is a real blessing, there is so much to be learned from that past...the golden ages of studio, bands and recordmaking...👌

[@stevelang3109]

Great Uncle Larry,... only thing better would be getting Joe & Joe together to tell stories and riff!!!!!

[@route9records]

This may be the best episode EVER, real inside stuff from a legend chatting with another legend. I love how he and Joe’s voices are practically identical. Great stuff, Uncle Larry - thanks!

[@paulstorm9933]

Joe is my favorite all around musician. Thanx for posting this video!!!!!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Joe gets it. Man, we're so fkn lucky you started this channel.

[@kwkoch1966]

One for the history books. Pure gold.

[@mariodriessen9740]

What a sweet man! I could listen to him for days. Thanks, Tommy! ❤️

[@peddler38501]

The Bill being referred to repeatedly is undoubtedly Bill Szymczyk, producer extraordinaire.

[@dr.s.]

Thank you, Uncle Larry, this is amazing. We need more of this, guys like Joe have so many things to tell.

[@aliceg1619]

That was great! Thanks for the treat!

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Thank you Joe Vitale for that incredible information bomb of music history! Uncle Larry I love you man and I love the Homeskoolin channel! What a jewel of an interview!!

[@jrsn2music]

Thanks so much for this episode, Tom! Joe Vitale is amazing! Just listen to "Days Gone By" on Joe Walsh's Smoker album. I LOVE that song. What a great interview. Awesome stories! Love your channel, Tom!

[@janbay4119]

Best interview EVER! Thanks for sharing this Tom!

[@VERBANDTREM]

What a fantastic discussion! Allowing us to join you is what makes this channel so special.

[@sg7752]

Man how I loved this episode.... Belmont Univeristy should have these episodes as an archive or have you teach a class Music Philosophy. Thanks for such a great glimpse into music history and with such a humble and amazing artist like Joe Vitale.❤

[@iused2BAfireman]

Agree with Joe about 501chorusecho. Well done interview. JV is obviously a genius in his own right. Thank you for this special treat.

[@bretttreon2463]

Great interview! So many great stories! Shout out to the Otis Gibbs interview with Tom for introducing me to another great musician and person , thanks Uncle Larry!!

[@Jakesanchez11]

Uncle Larry what a great interview I seriously believe that homeschooling is gonna go down as the 21st century version of Alan lomax’s field recordings fantastic job

[@DM-qj3sy]

Wow! I loved that interview so much. Thanks! The "So What" album is one of the few that I can say that I have owned on vinyl, cassette, CD, and digital. Standin' in the runway..... What a treat!

[@JGsBBQ]

How frickin cool was that? Thanks AGAIN bro!

[@stelligan]

My brother and I used to rock out in the basement playing guitar and drums to the 2 Joes when we were teenagers. Shaking the bolts out of the kitchen table upstairs. What a treasure.

[@chrisrodriguez1375]

This is the stuff I could listen to all day! A treasure trove of music history! Thanks Joe and Tom!

[@frankflstf]

What a coincidence that he mentioned PHIL Collins I was fortunate enough too meet PHIL on his first solo tour he was too cool and down to earth I’ll never forget it man did he blow up or what 🐐💪🐐🔥🔥

[@jamiem7114]

That was Awesome!!! Thank you for allowing us into this world. All the best!!

[@Tremolo100]

Joe's comments at the end inspired me to get my butt in gear on my home recording etc. - such a great dude(!!!) and of course, Uncle Larry leading the tribe --- Phil Collins was right - the pocket on RMW is insane --- growing up in the 70's --> 80's - that was RNR archetype for a classic rock song for sure. Joe you are awesome - hope you guys have a great concert for an awesome cause !!!

[@thurstonhowls7723]

This was mind blowing. I had no expectations and was floored. What a musical mind! Thanks Tom. Thank you Joe!!!

[@MichaelMyers-zf5nu]

Joe Vitale! Are you kidding me! Not to mention all the work with Walsh and the rest, "Lady on the Rock" was my anthem during 9-11, along with "Live in Peace" by The Firm! Now to know you have known him that long just blows me away. Great interview. Looks like he is doing well and so kind of you to bless us with this! Your history runs deep dude, and you too, are seen as a legend and rightly so!

[@deangoritz9625]

What a treat to get a glimpse behind the scenes of some of the coolest classic rock we’ve been enjoying for the last 40-50 years. Thanks Tom

[@ScottMcdonaldMusic]

I love you interviewing style. You asked the perfect questions and Joe is an interesting guy. Thanks for bringing us this. I love the story about the Record Plant and broadcasting the FM signal to the parking lot.

[@laurentwirz2806]

Joe Vitale is a fantastic singer too! Like the warmth of his voice. Jim Keltner and him are my favourite drummers.

[@deweywise5573]

one of the Nicest guys in the rock world you ever will meet. Inspired me to start playing my drums again . at 70 Now I'm still banging on my drums all day. Thanks Joe for encourging me and not letting me just sit in my retirement at the mall drinking coffee all day with my croonies lol drum on bro!

[@cochrantd]

Just a total gem...from start to finish. JV, what a dude!

[@keenaband]

Perfect insertion of essential history into our moment. I am a better person and musician for seeing this. Thank you, Tom!!

[@donmccann2885]

Amazing interview-thank you x10

[@DreaNEO]

Joe Vitale…a legend. Especially here in Canton. Love this master musician. His son Joe Jr is a great musician also….

[@williams.1130]

THIS IS AWESOME STUFF. Tommy documenting gold for future generations right here. This man is legendary. Love hearing these old war stories. This channel is so underated should be millions of subs.

[@khalilben2273]

the amount of fun these guys had is just amazing ! great video Tom

[@dkpitt3912]

OK, when I saw the runtime I’m like good God I can’t give 40+ minutes to watching somebody I don’t know who he is. I mean I’ve heard the name before but 41 minutes is a long time. That was the most fucking fascinating 40 minutes I’ve ever seen! That was fantastic! Thanks to both you guys for indulging. That kind of conversation is priceless!

[@kevinbrodess2684]

Grew up in Ohio and Columbus area and was always a big Joe Walsh James Gang fan and loved when Joe Vitale was with him and barnstorm what a great interview Joe was such a key to Joe Walsh’s music thank you for sharing

[@TheMrWences]

Wow!!! This interview will live in my heart forever! Thank you for sharing, Joe! So much down to earth wisdom and insight. A gem for sure! Tom, you're the man!

[@stevesmith2285]

Unsung hero! "Everybody does it"?? Everybody can't do it. What a cool guy!! This is great! Thanks Uncle Larry for once again enlightening us and providing some of the back story.

[@ronlee2611]

Absolutely incredible! I had no idea you played with Joe, let alone are friends with this legend. I could listen to him forever! Fantastic episode! This man has played on so many of my favorite albums it's ridiculous! His photo on the back of Barnstorm is etched in my brain. You killed it again uncle Larry!🥁🎸⚡👍

[@h.sinclair]

this was so cool thanks for introducing us to Joe Bob

[@josephzielke8775]

Tom this is pure gold. Epic interview with the legend Joe Vitale. Thanks for sharing this with the skool,

[@ericdincauze3984]

That was solid gold, thank you Uncle Larry! You are so good to us Home Skoolers!!

[@brucestewart5939]

I've seen so many dam music interviews but this one, as simple as it was, was the most informational-in your face-interesting meeting of two giants of the industry. Albeit, very humble, sweet giants.

[@johnmac333]

This is incredible , My old friend just came back from the UK after 30 years , and his son is great on guitar so we've started to jam , and I was saying what a great song Pretty maids is , and we are going to work on it , didn't realise JV wrote it with JW !

[@tadmorrison]

Wow Wow WOW!! This is priceless. Thanks so much!

[@littlezephead]

It’s funny how much his voice sounds like Walsh’s!! 😆😍😍 Joe is a great drummer! Really enjoyed this conversation. Great question and love Joes honesty, and humility!! ❤

[@telekaster19991]

Maybe the best video yet! Thanks for sharing.

[@homepropestcontrol9248]

Wow that was awesome!! Thanks Tom and thanks to Joe for taking the time to give us some insight into some of the greatest songs ever written, totally inspiring!!

[@toneseeker4968]

Thank you so much for making this video, Brother! I'm a music history junkie, and this is exactly the stuff I live for. I love and yearn to hear the back stories of all my favorite songs and musicians that make up the sound track of my life. You're a very fortunate dude to be as talented as you are and to have the access to these very talented and amazing, sweet human beings that you can call your friends. You are certainly blessed...

[@flippednickel4669]

Wow! This was really an incredible interview. Such an incredible wealth of knowledge and musical history. Man I truly loved hearing his stories!! Respect! Loved that he acknowledged what you have given to the musical community with Homeskoolin'. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ScottWalker-uw3rp]

Amazing interview with Joe. Thank you Uncle Larry!

[@BlackiePawless]

Especially good Buky. You're a natural at this and Joe V is a lovely man and a wealth of knowledge.

[@501chorusecho]

Thank you bro

[@markhaskinsmusic7637]

Love all of your channel Tom, but this is your best episode, hands down!!! You have a real talent for interviewing. Comfortable, genuine, artistic… not the usual questions. You rock.

[@t.sewell1513]

Man…what a discussion! Joe is straight up legend. Very cool. Ty Tom.

[@macdad159]

For me this is the best HomeSkoolin ever.

[@jeffcorreia4515]

Tom, Bringing guys like “Joe” On the Uncle Larry show is brilliant !! His stories and experiences / knowledge are why I watch every episode.

[@wnpjr33]

Love the interview Joe, learn more all the time. Sounds like a blast. Walter P

[@lonesomelenny7606]

Man, what a walk through music history. 💯

[@chrismattsonmusic2067]

Great interview Tom !!!! We really appreciate you both sharing with us.

[@pcanarsky]

Unbelievable interview!!!!

[@thejames9681]

Great stories! Your channel keeps getting better-thanks man!

[@drumboyed]

thanks for sharing! I met Joe last year when my band opened for Donnie Iris. Joe's son, Joe Jr. plays drums for Donnie and much to our surprise, Joe Sr. was playing as well! Both were very gracious and accommodating and just like Phil Collins, i sat right behind Joe and watched!

[@chuckg3475]

Cool dude! I could listen to him all night long ...

[@jeffmcleod2855]

Totally awesome interview! Joe was a part of so many phenomenal songs.
