Absolutely agree! You can connect Tony to just about any band that's been around since at least the 90s within, at most, three hops. For instance, you can connect him to Duran Duran through Pink Floyd. David Gilmour played with Arcadia. You can connect him to The Beatles through John Lennon. You can connect him to Simple Minds through John Giblin who played bass on a few tracks for Peter Gabriel. Tony is such a phenomenal bassist and stick player and a wonderful person to boot.

What a legend. And what a nice guy! First time I saw Tony live was with Peter Gabriel in 77. I was 15 back then. I stood in front of the stage mouth wide open. He threw some guitar picks in the crowd and I caught one. It read „stolen from Tony Levin“ on it… Every time I saw him live was a pure joy because you could see that he was enjoying playing live. Thanks for the in depth and extensive interview!

I was very fortunate to have Tony Levin play on a song of mine. Exactly as Warren described, he played with "weight and gravity..melody and emotion". In 2018 I was recording at Dreamland in upstate NY when Tony stopped by to drop off some gear. Jerry Marotta was at the studio and said hey Tony check out this song. Then a few weeks later I get an email from Tony Levin, he had put down three different bass parts and they were all amazing! I couldn't believe it. Such a humble and easy going guy. I ended up finishing the album in Brooklyn in 2021 and 2022, and that particular song didn't quite fit with the rest of the album. I scrapped my vocals and guitars but of course kept Tony's brilliant bass lines and rewrote the entire song around them. I used all three bass lines on the final version and they worked together perfectly. A dream come true.

He's quite simply, the best bassist on the planet. He understands better than anyone what the instrument's role is, and doesn't try to show off with complex speedy playing.

I recall seeing Peter Gabriel at Earls Court, sometime early 80's I think. I will never forget beginning to notice this incredible bass weaving through the opening songs. It was so deep, rich and melodic, soaring up and down through the chord structures, never seemed overpowering, just sitting there ever present in the overall sound, always just right, tight as all hell. Checking out the stage I saw this tall shaven headed dude grooving in his black trench coat responsible for producing these incredible bass lines. I had no idea who he was, I soon put that right. And I went back to my Gabriel albums to check if the same guy was playing on them. Of course the effect of his playing was not quite the same on my home stereo but I could still hear the echoes of that monstrous bass sound I heard at Earls Court. Have been an absolute fan of Tony Levin ever since.

While working the NAMM show as a representative of a pickup manufacturer in the late 90s, there was a huge commotion at the Ernie Ball booth. I forget who was causing the crush of people (I think it was Steve Howe), I spied Tony Levin just standing all alone a little way away from the commotion. I walked up to him and told him how much I enjoyed his music. Tony looked at me like he couldn't believe that I even recognized him. He is such a gracious and humble man. I spoke to him for just a few minutes, but he was so unlike other musicians I met during those years.

I met Tony and we talked very briefly after a King Crimson show in 1984 in Vancouver. He was friendly and approachable. I said, 'you're great!' He replied, 'thanks' and shook my hand. I was actually waiting to ask Robert Fripp a question when Tony emerged first from the rear exit of the venue. As a musician of 45 years, primarily an electric guitarist, I have Mr L as my #1 favorite bassist. There's many excellent players in the world, but most of these players that are sited by others, are far too busy for me. Tony's sublime low end, his fretless mastery, his creativity at utilizing new techniques, and his amazing body of work on the Chapman Stick make it easy for me to have him at that top position. Bows to you Maestro Master Levin! Much respect.

Tony showed the bass as a lead instrument, not just a piece of the rhythm section.

I haven't played bass with any regularity in twenty years (I've been focused on guitar), but Tony's insights into meeting other musicians and the dynamics of effective collaboration still inspire and challenge me.

His bass playing on all the pre-release I/O sessions Peter is putting on KZbin is seminal. Much respect.

As one of the people who regularly attends the Three of a Perfect Pair Music Camp, I can tell you that TLev is every bit the class act that he seems to be. And as a drummer, I've been lucky enough to play with Tony several times at the camp. Just as in this interview, he's forthright and candid. I have never heard Tony Levin say anything bad about any person, ever. Thank you for this very good interview!

Oh, I can't resist... I really wanted to see the Discipline, Beat,Three of a Perfect Pair era Crimson, live, but never got the chance - regrets. But I finally got to see KC with 3 drummers, at St Davids hall, Cardiff, with all those fantastic, classic, Red, Larks Tongues..., and Court... revitalised tunes, and it sounded excellent, sonically, performance and passion. I'm so glad Tony was there

Pure class, unique and so humble Tony has been the bedrock of so much great music What a joy to hear his insights. Who wouldn’t beg to have Tony play at their session or on the road. His enormous talent and personable down to earth easy going nature. Not to mention he makes you look good from behind the lense. Fabulous interview your knowledge and poise really brought out a lot in such a warm non interrogative setting. You let Tony be Tony. Too many interviewers step all over a subject just to impress. Bravo Can’t wait for the new Peter Gabriel album after a 19 year hiatus and that Tony can’t wait to tour

That was a great, informative interview! Great and one of a kind musician and a very kind and open person. I had the honour of seeing him play during Gabriel's So! tour back in the day... was baffled by his funk sticks then... hearing Tony and Manu Katché playing live was like pure honey for the ears and soul! Thanks for posting this, Warren!

Thank you for doing this. Tony is a delight! I'll never forget going to see the So tour and being disappointed (okay, quietly crestfallen) when the bassist had long hair, thinking that PG had hired some other- albeit talented- bassist. After the first song, Tony pulled off the wig and finished the show as himself. :)
