New 1.5 hr Jimmy C interview
https://www.drummersresource.com/jim...in-interview2/
new meaning a year old and NO ONE TOLD ME - SAOSB tour started being seriously formulated around October 2017 - They recorded 16 songs for the LP1 sessions. I would assume the 8 they didn't pick [although not necessarily finished according to JC] are better. The band didn't want to second guess Rick Rubin, out of some sort of respect. - Band was forced to finish recording by the end of February 2018, which "forced their hand" creatively. All the drums were recorded within 3 days. - JC originally had a more elaborate part for Travels but RR had him just play the straight groove all through. He was probably wrong - "More often than not, the demo is what you fall in love with." - "It's easier for me now to say, I wanna write something that's mournful, that climaxes in the middle and reaches some sort of celebration at the end...with years and years of playing you've got the technical chops to put that out there...your body reciprocates in a way it doesn't when you say 'I wanna play something in 6/8'". - [This whole section he talked about 'recently' started to write parts more emotionally but hasn't he been literally always doing/talking about that lol] - "I don't wanna go to a gig and see only drummers at my gig...is the best musician the musician that other musicians want to listen to, or the musician that everybody wants to listen to?" - Rick Rubin: "You guys are the Smashing Pumpkins, people fucking like you, why are you spending your whole lives trying to be something else?" JC: "Sometimes it takes a world renowned producer, or a 5 year old, to tell you that" [or netphoria, hi jimmy] "...people dig it when you make music that sounds like you." - Interviewer asks how to be happy with where we are and what we've achieved [with regards to career, playing, etc]. JC basically cites the Serenity Prayer - "living in present time, being okay with the fact that I can't change the past, can't control the future. I can only celebrate this moment." - JC on children with learning disabilities; society, musicianship: "Before, in our infinite wisdom, when we started to tell [kids on the spectrum] they had something fucking wrong with them - which none of them do, of course - they were allowed to be creative and change the world....we celebrate the dysfunction of our past creators, and chastise the dysfunction of our future geniuses.....there’s this movement of trying to disconnect ourselves from who we are...People who celebrate their idiosyncrasies, being different than everyone else - we can all recite their names" - [As an artist] "my job is to just be me." JC posted on insta about taking drum lessons and got tons of DMs saying he shouldn't change his playing at all. "I see myself as just a musician who practices every day and tries to get better", not a 'great drummer'. - "I still play the Bonham fills wrong - I still play them snare-tom-kick drum-floor tom...just because that's how I heard it...when I saw him do it with his snare, rack tom, floor tom, bass drum, I'd already been playing it wrong for 20 years!" - "I like to do stuff like play triplets with my feet, long rolls with my right hand, just so when Vic Salazar comes over I can do it!" "It’s all okay as long as we’re being honest with ourselves" - paraphrasing JC: 'in the Pumpkins, the best shows we had were the ones where we were terrible, or were amazing' - JC quoting Miles Davis: "If I don’t hear a guy fucking up then he’s not playing to his ability" - check the timecode 1 hour, 2 minutes. Great story from the SD sessions. “*You’re never gonna play Geek USA buddy!*” - "I got a full on interview just on ornithology. Not on music, just on birdwatching. That’s the kinda shit that really gets me going" Last edited by Ram27 : 05-24-2020 at 10:46 PM. |

Ram does remind me of my young self in a lot of ways. And as a 33 year old man, I wish I could tell my 20 year old self to not idolize and glorify idiot rock-stars and the idiot rock-star way of life. My pursuits in living some kind of rock and roll lifestyle only lead to endless problems on a dead end street.
The sad thing is, music is the most idiotic pursuit for one to try and take, and it's even 10 times more so in 2020 now that the industry is dead. It's an exercise in futility really, and as fun as it is to indulge in a passion, it's probably better to focus ones energy in a more practical way... One will thank oneself later, that much is a certainty. |

So Joey Goldberg is clearly Tooks sock account, right?
He's even on at the time of day when Took was the only other guy on |

The day before yesterday I saw Took lurking in a thread and then minutes later the Goldberg account was the only other active user online... Coincidence? I think not!

Joey Goldberg is actually LaBelle's sock. You'd know that if you were still allowed on Gen Chat.

i listen to, like, ALL the JC interviews, and it's always funny how it's a mix of funny down to earth drumming stuff, and super hippy semi-pretentious new age stuff [ex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_visualization]
still miles better than corgan of course |

Sounds like Ruben fucked the record up. IMO. Maybe his Chi wasn't aligned that month.

I was reading through this and became infuriated when reading the idiotic post about how pursuing music is a waste of time. I said who the fuck wrote this shit. And of course, it was fuzzy.

Does anybody have any isolated drum tracks?
I'd prefer that the performer recorded was Jimmy, though I'm open to alternatives. |

Did you agree that Blink-182 is for kids and Green Day for adults or something?
