Mind blown. The best interview of any musician i have ever seen.
power house drummer thats kept it together, kennys a straight out bloke
Kenny's played on my material and we've talked at length - this is exactly who he is. Awesome guy!
This interview has so much honesty and passion! I'm a guitarist and I didn't want this interview to end!
As a drummer I still have vivid memories of practicing along to John Cougar's lonesome jubilee via headphones...Cranked as loud as it could possibly go!!! This was before noise canceling headphones or any of the technological advances that we have now. This is when yes you basically destroy your ears.
This show is the best!!
Kenny will always be the best drummer in the world, no one can top his class act.
Kenny is the picture of success and inspiration 🙏
Scarecrow was one of the best albums I've ever heard. What a group of songs
Kenny Aronoff! I've seen many KA interviews and I can truly attest he's letting it all hang out here. Legend!
I totally agree!! These John stories are such inside knowledge!! CaNT WAIT FOR THE SMASHING PUMPKIMS STORIES
Phenomenal interview here. Invaluable insight…and for free! Hey everybody, PAY ATTENTION.
Kenny is so cool!!!
Wow , Crazy to hear John once worked for the phone co too ! I was 19 and a long distance telephone operator , and he made a call from a pay phone that came into my switch room out of Huntington Beach Ca. , Person to Person collect from John Cougar . He was just gettin started, but I knew who he was bc my boyfriend ( and current husband ) worked at a record store . What a fun coincidence!! :)
Great interview and a lot of fun! Had to watch the "Hurts So Good" video to see all the stuff Kenny was talking about. Listened to the whole interview.
I wish I would have had a conversation with Kenny Aronoff when I was younger. He's such a great source of wisdom! A true inspiration!
Great interview with a excellent drummer! I do get tired of his name dropping. 👍
What a sweet dude!!! What a legend!!! Much respect.
One of the greatest drummers of all time.
A great drummer who plays for the song just like the beloved Jeff Porcaro.
Continued success Kenny!
I love how these interviews are just conversations with no bullshit editing or script. Its the real stories. thank you @Sunset Sound Recorders
Very cool hearing Kenny's story's, Dude deserves his own star ⭐
"Straight, No Chaser" is a jaw-dropping song. Kenny was on fire performing that one.
I like how he is getting his respect as one of the greats. Those guys that sit on the drums are true musicians
These are the kind of music legends I want to hear from. Kenny Aranoff is brilliant! Not only as a drummer/musician, but as a human being. Love his sense of humor and all the AMAZING anecdotes he had to share in this video. His and Lukather's interviews are full of great stories and humor!
Incredible, a true legend.
HUGE Kenny A fan here. One of the greats in my book. Made heavy hitting in pop music legit.
I used to be a rock writer and had the privilege of interviewing Kenny several times over the years. Just saw him 2 months ago in Salamanca, N.Y. Front row center !!!!
Awesome interview with one of the GOATs!
Amazing Drummer/Musician Really getrs in the Pocket and grooves
Fantastic interview!
Excellent interview! He is definitely inspiring. Really enjoyed this. Thanks!!!
I want to bring an empty jar to Sunset Sound just to capture some of the magical air molecules that must float around in there. ;)
Hit hard steady..... and KISS !!! Kenny gets it !!!!
OMG.GREAT interview! KA has SOOOO many quotable bits in this interview that I'll definitely take to heart. Man's a legend and a genius. A HUGE inspiration for me as an session guy tryin to keep this gig going.
10:30 talking about "Satisfaction" aaaand remember Keith is 21 to 22 at the time and Charlie was around 24. Loved hearing that story and the following one about Mick / Charlie's high hat. Brilliant!
KA, you love you.
MAN that was so freakin cool ... thx
One of the coolest and hardest working guys in the business. Thanks for the top notch interview guys, really enjoyed it!!
Kenny can tell his Jack and Diane story everyday and I would listen to it
Cool to hear about Mellencamp. Never hear much about him.
Kenny is such a great drummer and chill dude!
Outstanding interview,...what a joy to hear so many stories from such a well-respected drummer.I was a huge Mellencamp fan,.and,...have seen Kenny Aronoff credited on so much music,...but,...this interview has shed a whole new light on this man.Thank You.
Wow. What a great interview. I did not know all this about Kenny. What a career!
What a great bloke Kenny is,what an awesome interview,made my morning down here,TY Sunset Sound.
That Jack And Dianne fill is iconic.
I remember hearing a Buddy Rich tribute cd with different drummers,Kenny was the drummer that blew me away out of all of em.
Kenny's one of the most versatile drummers in the world. PLAY LOUD
someone once told me- the drums sound better when you hit em like you mean it. we can turn em down later in the mix.
I think this is my favorite interview you have done so far. Kenny is such a great storyteller and the questions you asked him were perfect for the interview. This was a fantastic interview!!
I'm grateful to finally hear why Kenny and John Mellencamp parted ways. I thought Kenny explained it pretty well, no dirt, just the facts really.
Kenny is one of the best drummers ever,and was a GREAT teacher at IU
What a great interview! Kenny's book is a must-read. Thanks for posting.
Awesome video and amazing interview. Kenny is the epitome of where hard work and preparation will take you.. to the top! (Great interviewer too)
This really is a pretty chill video Thanks for allowing us a peek into your world. I like all the stories it brings it home and ties into the great Americano music we all love so much. It's really so much more than music, it's air to me. I'll try and catch you playing someday. I guess I relate to you because I grew up in the north east as well where folks enjoy the struggle of life, your struggle anyway. Lol Gotta love 'em.
Just caught Kenny playing Unchained with Phil X! Super fun! Wow. What a stellar person he is! I never knew he played with so many legends. He definitely is motivational, but then again drummers always have so much energy to spread around. Another brilliant interview Mr. Drew! Thank you for your work. xo
This was simply perfect. I don’t know Kenny that much, but this is one of the most interesting talks I have ever heard. Drew you should interview Bruce Botnick and talk about those early Doors records . Keep it up
I recently bought one of his Tama brass snare’s and it’s amazing. Such a good drum. Glad to hear this interesting conversation.
Excellent interview! Fascinating stuff. 😎
ding-chock-un-deednt-uh-KOooVE, bum-bum-du-chock.
Kenny!! I can transcribe too!!!
It’s especially nice that a legend like Kenny expresses his respect and admiration to all of these musicians discussed - no matter the person’s age, experience or genre. He must be a dream to work with for any artist or producer.
As he should - these musicians should be humble - his buddy John Cougar Melloncamp isn't necessarily humble - at all - that's why I still refer to him as " Cougar"
Hey John- you want respect you gotta give it - especially when everyone else is doing everything possible in order to please your high fullutin ass
Kenny is an inspiration and is a great motivational speaker not just an amazing drummer
Treat every show like it's the super bowl
Kenny always impressed me as a true student of music and a killer drummer. Gotta love the passion and authenticity. The real deal.
I saw this guy doing a sound check for I think was for Kimmel. He was unreal. He was physical and deep in the pocket and locked on the groove.
Kenny's one cool cat🤘🥁
Lisa Germano was so cool. She even released her own stuff and was in OP8. It's a shame she left the music industry.
A million young poets screamin out their words
He’s been amazing with John Fogerty too
Mick Ronson of Bowie's Spiders from Mars and Mott the Hoople also arranged a lot for Reed's Transformer.
They say Dave Grohl is the nicest guy in Rock ... I think Kenny comes a very close Second .. Always loved Kenny ..
No offense to John Mellencamp but Kenny played with the biggest rocker of the 80s, Jon Bon Jovi, the greatest guitarist ver, Jeff Beck, the inventor of rock n roll, Little Richard and a man by the name of Elton John, in the recording of Young Guns II. Which means He is the drummer in Blaze of Glory, Miracle and Santa Fe among other gems from that album
Kenny's from western Massachusetts, so ya gotta forgive all the Brady references.
Us Western Mass people are our own world
@@mikeglazier5993 I agree.
FUCK. ING. LEG. EN. DAR. Y. INTERVIEW. 🤘
🙏🤘❤️
He wears his sunglasses at night... OR his future's so bright he has to wear shades.
In summary: Your not good enough, IF you reach a point when, you think you are better then everyone else!
Kenny is one of the most humble person there is in this rock and roll world
There are only two reasons for someone to wear sunglasses indoors.
Jimmy Chamberlin
Sunglasses . ha
for fuck sake let Kenny finish his stories.. let the man talk...
As a Raider fan all that Tom Brady stuff just made me about puke in my mouth🤢... He's the greatest ever but that doesn't mean I have to like him. Lol!!
How did mellecamp trash Kenny after Kenny left the band?
Dude doesn't age... Wtf?
Paul Shafer's brother ?
No way in hell, he has a twin brother.
Kenny, I would love for you to come back to Indiana, I miss our email chats!!!!
Drooms, huh? I'm always impressed when I hear of someone making money for music. Lol just kidding kind of. Music has done nothing but drain money out of me. And the women I've dated must rely have liked me so it hasn't been a total loss. Lol
why is he wearing shades during this interview, its unprofessional.
Prescription sometimes you forget your regular specs and your blind as a bat
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist So make it darker when you cant see???
U don’t know Kenny Aronoff………….
