I was shaking my head while watching this video and asking myself “How does he do that.” What a treat watching one of my favorite drummers and as well as one of my favorite guitar players together. Saw Kenny drum with the Jim Irsay All Star Band in Chicago about a year and a half ago. He was fantastic.

I never really considered how genius Mick Mars was. He was the band really. With his riffing, any other bass and solid drum beat would work. The guitar is such a versatile instrument. It is why I can't just play drums. Drums are my first instrument, but I can't put down the guitar. I just think guitars are so much more sexy and inspiring, to make me want to drum.

@@KennyAronoffOfficial I had the pleasure of watching you perform only one time with Meloncamp in Glens Falls NY, though the year I am uncertain, '82 maybe? Great show and the drums were forward enough in the mix, which was fantastic for me. Killer guitar riffs make me want to get wild on the drums. For me drums create the motion, like the engine of the song and the guitar is the gasoline. If not for youtube, I would have missed so many great performances. I love the stories about your career. My career path interupted my musical path unfortunately. Now retired, I am finally able to play in bands and record music. I played a show in September for 3 hours. I have to admit, I had a hard time keeping up. 5 fast Hendrix tunes in the mix. Before learning those tunes, I didn't know the energy involved. Constant motion.

Haven't watched yet. But I can tell you the secret is hard work and lots of practice. Not to mention time on stage and in the studio. No shortcuts. Edit: I watched it. John is not only an amazing player, but I think he has a special ability to remember things. I wonder if he has a photographic memory or he just has ear trained and practiced so much that he doesn't have to remember songs, he just hears it in his head and instantly knows how to make it come out of his guitar. Unreal.

Kenny...Please set up your drums while doing these types of interviews. People are freaking out about John 5 but few know how absolutely amazing of a drummer you are. Please Please set up your drums for another interview. Peace.

What the other guys in Motley Crue are trying to do to Mick Mars is absolutely criminal. What has always driven Crue's success is the guitar riffs and Mick is the guy who wrote ALL OF THEM.

That’s QUEEN, but I think even BRIAN would be impressed with this interpretation 😮 I heard Keith Moon learned a lot from Gene . Brilliant muted solo melody playing there….14:08 ….Holy Moses…lol…Love the way he hammers the notes with his left hand and abrupts the notes with the kill switch like Buckethead and combines it with tonal plec scrapes. And behind the nut too.❤

Got to see him for the first time with Manson in the early 2000’s and was blown away. Saw him again with Rob Zombie and now I’ll finally be seeing him again in 2024 in Denver and hopefully in Colorado Springs! Can’t wait.
