The Songbook: Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club first picked up the guitar at the age of 14 when he began trying to figure out how to play his mother's classical guitar. As he continued to play, his mother showed him flamenco and finger picking styles that had a strong influence on his playing and technique.
Peter would eventually go on to play with The Brian Jonestown Massacre and eventually form Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with Robert Levon Been in 1998.
In this episode of The Songbook, Peter stopped by to perform the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club song "Shuffle Your Feet."

Can’t believe this genius used to sit behind me in English class in California. Now one of my favourite musicians of all time!

[@NoNameNo.5]

He’s a pretty quiet guy

[@fullmoonthailand]

Clearly was never behind ✌️

[@---df5sr]

I can’t believe it either

[@dragon13304]

One of the most underrated musicians of all time!

[@Ira__L]

With one of the best sounding laughter of all time, up there with Ron Swanson!

[@Ira__L]

And 'Shuffle Your Feet' is a masterpiece, so light-hearted and graceful

[@sweetasswaifu6387]

Sam Bird I cant agree more

[@M-O-Z]

Most definitely! BRMC meant so much 2 me growing up and still does

[@TheLawlessproduction]

He’s a musicians musician I think.

[@Johnny-vt4dv]

I love him and his band, he and brmc are very underrated, so talented. He is in my top 3 of favourite guitar players💓

[@theramblers69]

and may i add a brilliant harmonica player

[@Johnny-vt4dv]

@@theramblers69 oh yes for sure he is awesome at that too and then playing guitar at the same time, badass, just amazing i would love to be able to do that😎

[@jemen1709]

I don´t think BRMC is underrated anymore. They have huge success selling albums and on touring. I enjoy they are still some kind of "Secret" tip.

[@shagoom1580]

I heard he actually built the harmonica with the mic that you see in live shows

[@shanefitzgerald9339]

Met him before a gig, chatted for like 20 minutes talking about all sorts, such a gentleman and nice guy....and one of the slickest guitarists in modern rock'n'roll

[@cb3147]

I had the same situation with Robert. I'll always be grateful for his time. Such real artists!

[@kevbarron6501]

I spoke to Peter for half an hr before a show in Manchester. He's such a dude.

[@danielmaclean4718]

This guy is hands down my biggest inspiration

[@chaz32]

When Peter wanders away from Anton barefoot in 'Dig!' was a classic moment. 2005 Howl Tour was magical.

[@marcop1587]

Indeed it was...one of the best concerts I've ever been to and the guys were just playing pool at the bar before the gig meeting fans and all... can't beat that

[@pappsco54]

B.R.M.C FOREVER!

[@KEPHALLE]

It's so weird that he seems such a down-to-earth, almost shy, and quiet person and yet projects such a powerful and almost imposing aura when he performs live.

[@hanidarachmawati6791]

I could listen to Peter just talking abt anything for hours 😍 and how tf is this not in my recommendation??

[@kaykay-hd7el]

thats it? we need more of Peter!

[@jemen1709]

Yeah. In fact it´s not much here too....

[@protectourfreedom8221]

I'm around the same age as Peter and and the fact that our generation was blessed with a musician of his type and caliber is pretty extraordinary considering brmc broke in the early 2000s. You can hear all the influences but everything was blended so well into something people could be excited about. He had a cool image but also the songwriting chops to back it up.

[@theramblers69]

this is terrific, their music changed my life at a certain point, got to meet them, this video is awesome, songs like berlin, 666 conducer, half state and feel it now are part of my dna, especially berlin which is my all time awesomest favorite peice of music

[@_RLP]

Love this dude, and this whole album is just insane. Totally outside my comfort zone, and yet so familiar... Cheers

[@Rocks4You97]

Favorite player of all time. Wished it was longer.

[@nealsawyer]

Awesome! What a band. What a guitarist. What a writer. What a guitar!!!!!

[@andrewerner7766]

My biggest inspiration this man. I met him 5 years ago after a gig from brmc and he is so nice and respectful

[@LesliePaulFarkas]

He's a true gentleman, I've spent time with him in Tampa March 2019.

[@andym28]

Very underrated band.

[@followedbythedead]

I tried to play this Song "Shuffle your feet" with my ex-best-friend in my flat. Was fun and sometimes, I really miss him. He lives in Ibbenbüren, nowadays, with a jealous girlfriend, so....hm. but "howl" is just such a beautiful album. my personal favourite one of BRMC, I think.

With all due respect to Peter, who is a great musician, but my idol is and will be his band friend, Mr. Robert Levon.

[@gonebymidnight2881]

He makes a whole band

[@Arjunandthevectors]

Hes like johnny cash, in a house all by his lonesome

[@headuphigh7707]

I don't think it's his house 'cause that one is used for 'The Songbook' but it could be perfect for him as you said. And also don't think he's that lonely 😬 guess he has two children 🤔 love 'em since day 1 🤟🏼
