    Great, great interview and conversation! Huey Lewis and the News were huge when I was in high school in the mid-1980s and just beginning my journey as a drummer. Bill Gibson was definitely an influence on me. I love his stories. I appreciate that his parents supported him, and that he and his dad shared a love of drumming (which reminds me a lot of my dad ). I also appreciate the band's Bay Area roots and identity.Thanks so much!

    Bill Gibson is so underrated. I consider him a musician more than just a drummer. If you listen to what he's playing on almost any of those songs you can tell by his fills and accents that he's listening intently to the rest of the band/what the song needs. I hear a super creative, selfless drummer when I listen to him.

    Bill mentioned the LA critic who hated Huey Lewis And The News which was Robert Hilburn formerly of the L.A. Times. That man hated EVERYONE. He hated Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Toto and Yes to name a few. He even called Jeff Porcaro “too conventional of a player” so you know he had a screw loose. If Robert Hilburn hated you, chances are you were a huge success.

      John, you mentioned that Bill sent you a video at one time showing the sticking of this fill. Do you still have it and if so, would it be possible to share it on your channel? I appreciate Bill showing it to us during your live stream, but with his back to the camera, it was a bit difficult to see which toms he was using throughout the fill. Also, it's interesting to see that he uses a traditional grip, which I am more comfortable with as an old guy. 🙂

    It’s so crazy to hear Tim say that he thought nobody wants to hear him. He’s always been the reason for me to see and listen to Primus. Neil may have gotten me into drumming, but Tim made me keep playing. My #1 favorite drummer of all time. He has always had the perfect combo of chops, groove, and playing what the song needs. Tim is the GOAT. I am reluctantly trying out for the spot, only because my wife keeps telling me if she has to hear me playing Primus tunes on drums non-stop that I should at least give it a shot. ✌🏼 Thank you for the decades of the most interesting music available, and thank you for a great interview.

    On Different Drum - 1967 Stone Poneys, Jim Gordon holds back ever so slightly on the last 3 beats of the bridge. Also the first back beat of the that chorus is held back!! - which gives the rest of the chorus a perceived tempo lift. No tempo change but just the magic that drum fills can create.
