Steve Ferrone Discusses The Incredible Playing Of The Average White Band | Questlove Supreme

[@forddriver8827]

I have watched many drummers play 'pick up the pieces' but none of them groove like Steve Ferrone. Such a great feel and energy.

[@shannonlucas2980]

Except perhaps Robbie McIntosh

[@peterkeeves8240]

The original and best.....

[@frankprio4490]

Steve is a friend. Super guy......amazing talent

[@Capgpro1]

Cutting and pasting the solos on "Pick of the Pieces" is a testament to the metronome timing Ferrone has. His solo was fire. What a foot!

[@earthwisdomelement6882]

One of my favorite bands

[@Deepbluecat]

Love Steve's attitude, and views on playing as a team. Great upload!

[@xxbulldog74]

AWESOME INTERVIEW !!!!!!!!!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

AWB was / is brilliant!

[@williamparker3328]

They're OK but to say that like they could groove with the GREAT JAMES BROWN BANDS IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY TRUE. I KNOW THAT YOU'RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE BUT THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

[@bingochoice]

AWB was one of these best bands ever, great song writing, great musicianship, great vocals..

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

I saw Questlove interview Steve Ferrone, Ferrone said that his best pocket was show cased 'school boy crush'.I am a huge fan of his drumming but I say'Clouds' when played on Chak Kahns Naughty album.Woooo masterful playing that dude is putting it down a show!

[@byronharrington6619]

Steve Ferrone gave AWB depth. THE funkiest drummer period.

[@viking956]

"Person to Person - Live". All time favorite. Had the vinyl, had the cassette, had the CD. Misplaced or lost all over the years. Now I have it as a favorite on my KZbin channel.

[@procopiojrpalacios9702]

According to the original members of AWB, their original drummer, Robbie McIntosh, was who the band looked to for keeping the them playing together rhythmically, whether by a sharp look or his awesome playing. Hamish Stuart said that Robbie's death in 1974 devastated the band for a "couple of years." His leadership and exquisite playing were deeply missed...

[@georgeobrientheroninrealto2693]

Truth!

[@johntaylor5696]

But Ferrone continued that link very very well and drove some tunes with Alan.

[@vaughnmiller4371]

That's what a drummer do. 😜

[@logansaan]

I was 11 years old at the Cleveland show with my older brother and his friends. Still my favorite concert of all time.🖤

[@DRLEWIS]

Mr Steve Ferrone is a great musician. HOWEVER he is a wonderful human being.

[@TheMacasso]

AWB ------one of the true greats.......

[@edwincancelii2917]

I love blue-eyed soul music myself.

[@teddyrailroad]

AWB FOREVER....

[@MrMusicmanny]

One of the meanest funk brothers and they are SCOTS ..... THATS WHATTSUP ....

[@stevehowell231]

I saw Alan and Hamish play dual bass at Hammersmith Odeon. Can't remember what song either. Great visual as well as sound.

[@vincenteades207]

QUEST, THIS IS THE BAND JB WATCHED VERY CLOSE, BECAUSE THEY COULD THEY ALWAYS PUT DOWN SUPER DYNAMITE FUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN WE ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD JAMES AND AWB CUT SOME SONGS. JUST LISTEN TO "BENNY AND US" WITH BEN E KING!!!!!!!!!! THEY COOKED!!!!!!!!!! Also, Quest, PLEASE DO A JBS TRIBUTE ALBUM WITH SOULIVE AND KEEP THE FUNK ALIVE ALWAYS. LETTUCE,THANKS FOR KEEPING THE GROOVE NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamparker3328]

James Brown and AWB. MAN THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUPER DYNAMITE AND FULL OF SOUL!

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

Get AWB, TOP, WAR, The Ohio Players, The Meters, and The Bar-Kays in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@vaughnmiller4371]

Those powers that b are going to wait until all the members are dead or one or two might be left. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is garbage.

[@dianeharris8020]

ya'll is some bad ass 🥰💙💙💙💙💙💯

[@gusmartins3298]

I think Questlove muddled the opening question. I think he might have asked how much of an anomaly was the band being so good playing a music that was not native to them.

[@philbiddle1899]

It's too hot for the average white man is the quote from where AWB got their name check out their history it's true.😅

[@earthwisdomelement6882]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Capgpro1]

AWB were/are too funky. I've seen them twice.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

I’m just a little tired of hearing certain people refer to certain white musicians as “white boys.” I was around when AWB had songs on the charts, and no one had any doubt they were the genuine item in terms of their music despite their skin color and country of origin.

[@williamparker3328]

WHY? YOU HAVE SOME NERVE ESPECIALLY AFTER BLACK MUSICIANS WERE NEVER EVER TO THIS DAY BEEN GIVEN THEIR PROPER DUE HONOR OR RESPECT. STOP IT NOW AND LEARN MUSIC HISTORY. YOU ARE ANNOYING BECAUSE OF YOUR BLATANT IGNORANCE!

[@brucespencer6877]

"really?" ....hadn't considered that dude? lol

[@JulianFernandez]

Questo, on a good day, is half funky as Andy Newmark. this is a joke.
