I haven't been able to watch all these interviews as you've been releasing them but the few I have caught have been great to hear. Thanks for compiling them and preserving these great stories from these great musicians!
I have a fond memory of seeing her backstage at the Big Day Out in Adelaide with an Xray Spex t shirt on. They were my favourite punk band growing up. Was too shy to go up and chat even though I too am a drummer. Great interview, thanks.
This is great to see. I knew Patty back in the early days as a fellow drummer in the same group of friends. To me she always seemed to be very kind & a bit quiet . Most of our old group of friends are still friends.
Found this interview after listening to her book on Audible. Patty is an absolute bad ass. All of her story has really affected me.. her recovery in particular.
Love your interviews! So inspiring to know a little more about the path, challenges and overcoming of artists we admire. Thank you very much! Sending good vibes from Brazil! 🇧🇷Cheers!🔥👏👏👏
Your approach on drum groove creation was always something I appreciated, and something I spent time listening to while trying to decipher that approach the best I could....thx for the vid.
Maybe it's telling, or maybe it's just circumstantial, but I noticed how brief the mentions of Kurt & Kristen's deaths are (I understand that), and there was no mention at all (unless I missed it) or Courtney essentially getting Patty off of the streets by paying her to drum on Courtney's solo album.
I am not a fan of any of the ladies you have interviewed and their bands. I have zero interest in grunge, a type of music that totally depresses me. This said, I really enjoyed the interviews I have watched so far. It's about time that Ladies get their dues, mostly the instrumentalists. I may not like the music but cannot deny the talent. Great project! Don't forget some of the 70's/early 80's pioneers :-) Kudos!
I think what happened - if we’re comparing now to the 90s - is rock disappeared from the mainstream, kind of in parallel with the crash of the recording industry. If you look at the rock scenes that do exist, (outside of top 40), I think you’ll find the strides women made in the 90s have continued. It’s not a novelty whatsoever anymore. As for pop, Madonna took charge of her career and narrative at an early point, and it seems to me there are plenty of women following in her footsteps - most famously Taylor Swift. But yeah, of course pop is the home of manufactured acts. Always was, always will be. And so there will be horror stories. And of course both Madonna and Taylor Swift have had to fight brutal fights to get their way. I'm not saying we're there, I'm just saying I don't think we're going backwards. The issues Patty mentions though are more to do with society in general and the era we live in, (social media), rather than a backlash for women in music. In my humble opinion.
I'm hard on drummers in my bands or in the studio and ... ... wait wait ... I met Patty a few times thru Eric and she's a REALLY GOOD DRUMMER. Solid azfuq! Why Courtney fucked her out of the band and last album - well - of course - it's BULLSHIT.
I love patty she seems so awesome but the rest of hole i could care less about except Kristen. (Update: I actually have come to Like Melissa as well as Courtney
For me, one of the best drummer in punk-rock. I love Patty. Hole is still is one my favorite band.
This woman was a power house next level drummer

That MTV Awards performance was mind blowing.

Amazing work in Hole... legendary drummer...
These are great. Hopefully you get to interview one of The Runaways or The Donnas.
Great interview... awesome drummer. Live through this is one of my top favorite albums 🤘❤
Wish Patty had a podcast she is so wise

Just discovered this channel and I am so grateful. Patty Schemel is utterly fascinating. 🖤
Your approach on drum groove creation was always something I appreciated, and something I spent time listening to while trying to decipher that approach the best I could....thx for the vid.
The best female drummer I know of....
Thanks, Glad this footage exists. Love the pic of Hole she has framed on her shelf (second photo) and her and Pat Smear (third photo)
One of the best, ever.

Great Drummer~ interesting woman. I need to do a deep dive into her creative efforts.
She's written a biography titled 'Hit so hard' check it out. It's pretty good
The documentary by the same name also. It should be available on Amazon prime.
Peppermint Patti is awesome !!!❤
Patty ❤️
Odd that there is no mention of L7
Made me so happy to hear her mention Dickless!
Would it kill the interviewer to wear a microphone?
KISS 💋 Patty rocks

Michael Beinhorn kicked her out the last album
she deconstructs well, perhaps because she's open
Johnny One-Take? His name is Deen.
She seems out of sorts during this interview like he keeps with these pauses in between words.
I love patty she seems so awesome but the rest of hole i could care less about except Kristen. (Update: I actually have come to Like Melissa as well as Courtney
what about Melissa !
@julian Knight Kristen was amazing, she died so mysteriously, Courtney and erlandson was the last persons she met , oh oh !!!! Anyway patty s great !
