I love this, vocals are amazing

So solid 👍
Meat and potato guy. Tasteful playing always. Perfect player for old school heavy rock. Loved him both in AcDc and Dio. Not my favorite snare drum sound I must admit...I like them tuned lower.
Kind of a later Neil Peart set up!
So cool to hear Tawn, Cara!!.....If I lived out there during that time KNAC would have been my station...here in St. Louis it was/is K-SHE 95
Hey Steve , Thanks for the post!! Seems like a lifetime ago

RIP Sharon Jay ❤
I can't thank you enough for uploading these. My mom is Sharon and she just passed a week ago. Hearing her voice and these photos are amazing.
I'm so sorry to hear that, we loved Sharon, she was always so kind & supportive of us local musicians. Many good times we had, her smile would just light the place up ! Love & condolences to your family ... ❤ p.s. there is one more interview with HEADSHAKE on Lucky98 ... RIP

Damnn he was doing this while AC/DC were out touring with Chris Slade
What song was the intro? Or was that just a jam?
This is a great drummer. His feel and timing is the thing here. He is not a very technical drummer, that is why I like him. I see myself in him ;)
Call of the wild.
Love these videos!!!..I’m a drummer and learn a lot from these!
Love his work in Rhino Bucket
Simon was a naughty boy and got busted doing something very bad,, Malcolm said by by..... 🤔😖🦘🇦🇺
I think that was Phil Rudd. 😂
@@PeteWaan nah .... Definitely Simon... Why did Simon leave... ???
He played Rhino Bucket same time.
AC⚡DC
why a great feel/sound he has, beautiful
A fantastic Drummer which nobody talkes about.
Обычный барабанщик,ничего особенного.
His time in acdc was a weird time for the band, some bad albums and totally raucous live shows, they often played very fast versions of their songs in the 80s like double time ., Phil just has soo much more of swung pocket feel than Simon and Chris they never sounded right with either of them. This is just caveman metal drumming all singles all staccato very rigid and right down the center zero dynamics
Great groover !!!
Love Simon! With Dio, AC DC, hard hitter
Simon is a solid good drummer!!! The reason he left AC/DC is because he wanted to do a lot more fills and be more active on the songs. Although Angus and Malcolm could appreciate that, it wasn't what they ultimately wanted? They explained to him that AC/DC is a Guitar driven band. So what they really want out of an AC/DC drummer is the nice solid backseat, with just small fills here and there and cymbals used basically to help accent chorus and or on chords just to improve power. So, they all decided he would move on from the band. And who better to get back would be Phil Rudd, who is content with playing the way they want and need!
They replaced him with the other fellow. The tall, bald headed guy. Chris Something-or-other.
@@toddmorrissey8372Chris Slade
@@toddmorrissey8372 yes Chris Slade took over right after Simon Wright, but Phil Rudd has come back a few times. Phil Rudd is the best drummer AC/ DC ever had. Chris Slade can play the simple AC/DC beats, but I watched him trying to do a drum solo, and was not that good. But he can fit in for AC/DC.
@@toddmorrissey8372 Out of the 18 AC/DC albums, Phil Rudd has played on 15 of them!!!!
Sure glad my favorite band Rush didn't feel that way. 😊
His grooves have a great feel !
Surprisingly good sound record quality!
AC/DC + Dio = champ
I'm not 100% sure but, that sure looks like a Hartke bass cabinet back there! Man, if that doesn't date this video. You just don't see them anymore. I know this is a drum video but I play everything and being a drummer first and foremost, bass is my #2 so. I just noticed that cuz all you really ever see today is Ampeg. I loved Kustom heads, Sunn, GK and my bass rig has a Marshall head. Yes, Marshall once made bass equipment and it was amazing. I do have an Ampeg rack mount pre amp...can't avoid Ampeg these days lol
They're still quite popular. Dave Ellefson uses them, countless others. Very popular within the hard rock/metal genre.

Shawn Lane (RIP) born in 1963, was 17 years old in 1980. Amazing. You can hear the Holdsworth influence. Also, Kim Mitchell from Max Webster was playing like this in 1980.
Haha. Vinnie Colaiuta exists. There is no need to watch a Simon Wright instruction video.
Vinnie would say, “shut your trap and learn from everyone”. His groove is great, technical no. Have you had the AC/DC gig before? Oh, no? This dude apparently did, so that’s saying learning your four on the floor grooves, and yeah seems easy just like shuffles are, but there not. Bro I get what your saying but there’s plenty more drummers especially beginners that are trying to lock this down rather than are at vinnies level to be able to sit down and cop vinnies thing. This is a different time like your eluding to but there’s plenty here to appreciate, especially young kids just as you were at one point trying to play back in black and that can be enough to hook ya to the drums and that’s what it’s about, getting people to play the drums and feel that thing you only know if your a drummer that’s put in enough time to be able to enjoy this to get to that next level. Cheers
Awesome video !!
Awesome sauce!
I still have the vhs.
He definitely not technical.
does he have to be?
He's not but he has a great feel. It's no wonder he replaced Phil Rudd.
But he's solid and has groove that fits the bands he plays in. The many robot drummers out there with no feel are shyte.
whatever mate.......go post somewhere else
He's a self-taught single-stroke guy, not technical in terms of rudiments, BUT look for DIO era videos - he's nailing all Vinny Appice's parts with power and speed. Solid player, no arguments.
Thank you,I love this man power house drummer,,,
First got introduced to Simon when I first saw him with Dio during the EVIL OR DIVINE show 2002, one of my most cherished DVDs.
looks to b a solid player with a nice feel.. in a classic time period for drummers.. the early 90's!
Most of the AC/DC shows I saw were with Simon (80's)! A brilliant powerful underrated drummer and perfect for DC replacing Phil Rudd! I remember reading in "Modern Drummer" he had a problem with hand blisters and needed some potassium based compound recommended from some top London doctor!
This is cool, drum instruction videos have come along way!

SIMON WRIGHT - STARLICKS. (1991)
This is some of the most amazing playing I ever heard
These videos were the bread and butter of learning the drums back in the 80s ... You can learn a lot from these, and sounding live
Totally disagree all these video sucked in comparison to what is out there now… although I haven’t watched this yet,,but all those pretentious bozzio,gadd,etc videos were a waste of time and money..I have them all for the most part
@@mghc7you’re right dude, most of them are more about exhibition than explanations plus the transcripts sucked
@@mghc7Yeah? Bozzio & Gadd suck? Compared to who??? No real drummer holds that opinion.
@@johnsoos6907 they don’t suck they just didn’t know how to teach and their videos were boring,,,bozzio especially it’s painful to watch..and I’m playing 43 yrs I know what I’m doing
@@mghc7 You should revisit them, today. You might have a different perspective. Bozzio breaks down a lot of the stuff very well. For instance, when he talks about going through the accent sections of the Syncopation book & doubling-up the right hand with the right foot & left hand with the left foot. Or, the ostinato section where he shows how to go through the various permutations. Please give it another chance.
great video!
Hey thanks I saw Simon play in a.drum clinic during 1989 new.york one of the best drum clinic ever
Thank You so much for uploading this. Haven't watched this tape in probably 20 years. I've still got it and will never part with it, but this is just an easier way to watch it. This was a huge part of my development as drummer and helped me transition into slightly more complex drumming, and not just 4/4. His kit is so badass. Pretty sure this is the same kit he used on the Who Made Who tour and Blow Up Your Video. And of course, love watching your bass playing! Must've been a blast to be there for those sessions.
Thank you , yeah always good hangin with Simon , when I last saw him , we couldn't believe it's been over 30 years !
I had same VHS tape! Plus a bunch of others. Probably up in attic. You just inspired me to go back. Thank you. I still nail the cans at 57. Love this stuff
He played with Dio for awhile 🤘🏻great drummer!
