New album preview w/Tony Levin, Bringing it Down to the Bass

[@georgehart9183]

Tony you are the man. Don't ever change. Love you and your playing just like you are. I am a retired pro-drummer and hope to get the chance to jam with you some day.

Got to see Beat on their 2nd show in Napa. If they are coming near where you are don’t miss out. The show was great and really fun. Since no Fripp cameras are ok and I got some great shots of Adrian using a power drill as a guitar pic!

[@powie9313]

Been listening to his bass work since I was a teenager. Absolute bass legend.

Tony Legend

[@JohnnyTronny19841]

gonna be singing BILL BRUFORD BILL BRUUUF BRUUUFORD all day now

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Hahaha that's been in my head so much lately

[@nicholasrella6904]

I've been singing that for years. I think he might have stolen it from me. 🤣

[@javilalima]

Great interview. You have a great skill: listening to your guest and not ruining the flow. And it’s always wonderful to listen to Tony.

[@fraterseamus]

I have to say, I did not expect a Tony Levin album would have barbershop quartet songs. But I guess that's the point, gotta keep trying new things, nothing wrong with some surprises. Great interview as always. I got my ticket to see them in Minneapolis in November, can't wait.

[@keefroc]

Thanks for the great interview. Legend. Subbed.👍🏼

Looking forward to the Toronto Beat show,

[@zenzenzen4741]

See you in Boston Tony!!

[@guzzialfa]

So looking forward to the Beat-Tour! So each album performance and all of the ProjeCKts. Oh and Blue Nights with David Torn too. Yeah, I'm that old too.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

I just spoke to David on the phone yesterday about an interview. We settled on 10/7. See you there?

[@guzzialfa]

@@MakeWeirdMusic Sounds like a plan!

[@robertforman3494]

As you may already know, BLUE Nights was recently remastered and is currently available. For a while it was very hard to get. An amazing album!

[@winstonschwarz1636]

Tony’s RAWK record. Just downloaded her.

How does Tony feel about Manhattan Specials? The carbonated espresso beverage.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Hah, let's see if he comes across this and answers! :)

[@nicholasrella6904]

That would really be awesome. I know they don't sell them everywhere & it's mostly a Brooklyn/Queens thing. I'm sure Mr. Levin has come across them in his travels. They really are very tasty. Too much caffeine & sugar though. I also think it would make a great band name. I don't know why I've never thought of that before. I'm sure there probably was a band called The Manhattan Specials at some time.

[@mattleppard1970]

There is a Levin album? Count me in

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Comes out on Thursday

[@mattleppard1970]

@@MakeWeirdMusic I heard the first track. Sounds amazing - can’t wait for the rest. Now I’ve heard that, I can pick up here - he’s fascinating. “Excuse Me” is the barbershop quarter Gabriel track he refers to. Addendum: subscribed. Saw a Vai/Fripp thing. Yeah 😊

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Thanks for the sub!

[@mattleppard1970]

@@MakeWeirdMusic Listening now. Second track is already my favourite! I see there have been other Levin projects I wasn’t aware of. Thanks!

I've seen him with Bill Bruford and Pat M. Last show of the Thrak tour in L.A. at the Wiltern. That show was just incredible!

[@theinfinitelyexpandingartist]

@@DeafbyDesign Lol yeah, it's easier to say who he hasn't played with than who he has 😅

[@MarkStearle]

Gentle Giant were great.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Probably my favorite band. Check out all the GG interview content we have on the channel
