Mickey is one of the great LIVE and session musicians in the business. Talented, underrated drummer, humble, incredibly funny sense of humor. A great person all the way around. I always tell young drummers that I meet. " Listen, really listen, and study Mickey Curry with Bryan, Hall & Oates, Roy Orbison, Los Lobos... Rock solid, straight shooter.

[@danieljakubovic]

Greatest drummer on the greatest gig in the world . He’s not under rated . ❤

[@proseandflowers5673]

I am a great fan of this drummer Mickey Curry. I like very much how he strikes the drums and cymbals. Please extend my warm greetings to him and his family. God bless

[@joyofdigitalpainting5226]

I'm a guitarist, but you gotta love Mickey. Always nice to hear him talk, because he's such a nice, down-to-Earth guy, and he has some good insights on the recording of those classic albums.

[@pegaso3terminator75]

This is the man that recorded Sonic Temple, an institution to me!! That drumming is Pure Gold!!

[@matthewh.9544]

His drumming on Survivor's Too hot to sleep is awesome too

[@johnconk1]

Awesome stuff, Jeremy! I totally need out to this stuff, too, and it just so happens that Van Halen, Bryan Adams, Mutt Lange, Def Leppard, Bob Rock, Sting and the Police are my favorite musical topics, and I know they’re yours too, so I look forward to your geek sessions!! Keep them coming!!! Watched your Phil interview today, too..

[@jonsimon5779]

In 1987, I started working for a company here in CT a year or so out of high school. After being there a while, a woman from the accounting department came up to me and said, "Hey, Jon, I hear you really like Hall and Oates." I said, "Yeah, my favorite group." She said, "Well, guess what? Their drummer Mickey Curry's parents are my neighbors. Mickey grew up next to me." I was floored. She came in a couple weeks later with an autograph to me from Mickey. I've been picking up pieces of my mind to this day. ;))

[@lordofnesss]

I'd die to have a music production book written by Mr. Mutt Lange !! God Bless you Mutt.

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Ya it would be amazing!! Sadly will never happen haha

[@noworries12]

"a book"...you're a funny guy :-)))

[@lordofnesss]

@@JeremyWhiteShow Only in our dreams ,lol !! It's almost imposible to put Mutt's knowledge or his golden ears in a Hal leonard book or even three books. That's all about pure divine talent, years of experience and feelings.

[@krashboombang]

Mickey is one of my favorite drummers, great interview and inside stories.

[@batwithglasses]

Mickey sounds like he is done touring, and I completely respect that. He is truly a great and uber down to earth human being. He is such a huge influence and full of valuable insights..But the body language says, "I just wanna be at home now with my family"

[@johnstdominic9887]

I LOVE Mickey's snare drum sound, not just on 'Into the Fire' (criminally underrated album!) but on 'Reckless' too. I had long wondered how he got it. Thanks for answering my question, Jeremy!

[@TheBrettWilson]

Jeremy - so good to hear from people I've admired for 30+ years. Who's next? Keith Scott? Tommy Mandel? Dave Taylor? Bob Rock? Olle Romo? Nigel Green? Clearmountain? Jim Vallance?

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Keith is in the works… Olle and Clearmountain would be reeeaaalllyyy interesting!

[@TheBrettWilson]

Keith is my all time favourite guitarist! Please ask him to record an instrumental album.

[@susannewampfler9264]

@@TheBrettWilson There is the “The Fontanas“ album from 2008 with instrumental surf rock. Can’t wait for Keith’s interview!

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

Yeah man, BRYAN ADAMS!!! Phantastic songwriter, phantastic musicians...great!!!!!!!!!

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

agreed!!

[@errorsofmodernism9715]

hope he doesn't do anymore wimpy love song ballads

[@armandopetrini]

Mickey did a great job on the Survivor record TOO HOT TO SLEEP!

[@mariaelvicamaia1613]

Grande baterista do Bryan Eu observo muito quando ele assumi a bateria. Acho ele o máximo. Não entendo o que ele fala no inglês mas esse rapaz é um grande profissional nesse instrumento. Beijos para ele. Fortaleza ceará Brasil 2021.

[@jrock84ou812]

Right on Jeremy happy bday duder hope it was a good one.

[@AniJudaism]

Bryan and Mutt working together again is gonna get Bryan back on top. I hate that he faded like he did here in the states. But an incredible songwriter and wonderful singer and Mutt is known for getting even more out his musicians so this will be great

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Absolutely!! I heard the new album is 🔥🔥

[@AniJudaism]

@@JeremyWhiteShow can’t wait for that one to be released

[@melissas9245]

I love Mickey! Keith Scott and Mickey are very talented musicians. Bryan Adams is so damn underrated! One reason is because his music always has amazing musicians he makes music with like Mickey

[@timoiiskola7676]

Great! I love Mickey's playing and live sound, too. Good snare tips there, Jeremy :)

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Hell yeah! Tuning my snare as we speak… 😂

[@mcmac1272]

Micky Curry is awesome and I agree Into The Fire is a great album!! 👍

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

The drums on Heat Of The Night are insane...!!!

[@yavorkresic4697]

That was my favorite Album of Bryan Adam's as well. Into the Fire song is my favorite all time Adam's song. I thought the lyrics were a step up as well on this Album. Really appreciate the questions in this interview, having recorded 3 Albums myself. The recording process is an art in itself.

[@liza5651]

Thank you Mickey! ♥️🦋

[@bartvanbemmel9123]

Loved every second of this. Thank you.

[@mykinfolkz]

Another great Interview guys. Thank you for not letting these guys go unnoticed and getting in to the nuance of what they do. Check him out on the record Faded Blues by David Mullen. It’s another great record you may not have heard showcasing his talent

[@crislobovozeviolao]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@WineSippingCowboy]

What a drummer: 38 years since MC 1st played w/Hall + Oates. Cher, who was received at the Kennedy Honors this year, Alice Cooper. This Friday will be #30years since the release of Everything I Do I Do It for You. MC was great! + 30 years since MC played w/The Cult. Meanwhile also in 1991, Mutt still had the time to send Eddie Money + Huey Lewis music. + HL added his ideas to write It Hit Me Like a Hammer! Also, MC worked with David Foster. 🇨🇦 Reminds me: DF in the making of Tears Are Not Enough. Play a part as dictated by the producer. As for a drummer, 1 or 2 takes. Done! 😎 Mutt really puts musicians who never worked with them to school. BA was right in the early interview with Jeremy! Thanks, Mitch + Jeremy! 😎😎 🇨🇦

[@pal4597]

Great snare questions Jeremy.

[@scsdrummer]

Mickey is a legend. I love how he plays the drums. Great interview but be careful not to cut off the Guest in midsentence. I can understand your excitement of wanting to ask more questions.

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

That’s great advice! Can I have a link to your show? I’d love to learn more from you!

[@scsdrummer]

@@JeremyWhiteShow I apologize if I came across wrong. I do enjoy you’re interviews. Have a nice day

[@WineSippingCowboy]

I see or hear to many interviewers who appear as if they did not graduate from high school. Too many puffball questions. Hardly any questions about the performance, motivation about the song. No questions about the gear, songwriters, engineers or producers.😖 Mitch + Jeremy put them to shame! 😃 And Jeremy. Your experience with gear + the fact you are a working musician simply makes you 1 of the better interviewers. 😎 Well wishes on the Jeremy White album! 😃 Guys, when you interview BA again, will you ask him how was it working with Jeff Lynne, David Foster, Bob Rock + the late Bruce Fairbairn? Thanks! 😎

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! Hope you subscribe 🤘🏻😃

[@WineSippingCowboy]

I did! 😎 You are welcome! 😎

[@noworries12]

Great interview..Mutt and Bryan in the studio WUTN reloaded would be killer!

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Yes, i cant wait to hear the album!

[@jamesgeorge65]

I wonder why he’s not playing for Bryan Adam’s this tour.

[@meinhd1483]

Fantastic. Say "hi" to Mickey Curry for me. : )

[@danieljakubovic]

He also did hey stupid ! Love him and I’m sad he’s not with Bryan now . It’s not cool

[@pal4597]

Mickey is not on Bryan’s new album. Not a fan when a singer decides to play drums. I believe Pat Steward is on a few tracks. I’ll sit this one out. Mickey’s groove is unreal, and he is a class act.

[@pal4597]

Mickey could do the AC/DC gig. He has the feel. No one like Phil Rudd...but Mickey would do it justice.

[@petershute3580]

Rip Bob Clearmountain

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Hes still alive and kickin! Haha

[@vijanrama]

What a horrible interview. Absolutely no respect for the person being interviewed - he clearly told you he’s on downtime but still pestering him about what he’s doing. Then kept interrupting the poor guy before he could finish answering and also making assumptions rather than asking the person who’s right there. So many questions could have been asked about the Waking Up… recording. What a waste. 😠

[@jonsimon5779]

These guys are generally ok but it can get annoying when an interviewer(s) gets out of control. Howard Stern is the worst offender. It's important to ask a question and then let the person talk. That's who we are here for.
