Greg has created so many instantly identifiable synth lines like this one that are technically simple yet unique. He was a major contributor to the Cars success.
@@johnadams5489 No, he is 66 years old. He was born October 22nd, 1952. We've already lost Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek. Please, let's not shave any remaining years off the lives of any remaining Cars members. 😉
WOW! Must have been Greg's presence...this is the first cover of Just What I Needed that didn't make me wanna hurl!! It was fantastic!!!! Even the guitar solo:)
It wasn't a Jupiter 4, but I agree that would be a cool Synth. Duran Duran used that for RIO. Greg used a "Mini-Korg". Probably a 700 or 700s. Another company used to re-brand those synths in the USA as Univox. A bit confusing. Great sounds he made. I wasn't so impressed with Korg's other analog synths, but that one had some great sounds.
Would have been amazing to be in that room that night. Greg oozes cool. Band/Greg and his kids and the fans just letting loose!!! Super cool and thanks for sharing!
This is so awesome!! Love the Aquabats and Greg Hawkes has always been my favorite keyboardist!
CARS FOREVER. One of the best keyboardist around. 😎✌️✌️

For 60-something, Greg is extremely nimble and light on his feet! He is a massively underrated legend and genius.

Ok you got it.
Greg is really cool. Met him a few times with Todd Rundgren! WUSB.FM NY/ WAXX TRAXX TO THE MAXX
The Cars is just what I needed
Greg Hawkes fucking rules. He might be the biggest reason The Cars sounded so unique and wonderful.
Thanks Greg for carrying the legacy of the Cars! You Rock!
Here's The Cars' keyboardist playing with a group of men who dare to be different. It's awesome!
We love the Aquabats TV show, never had any idea that they were actually a band. Awesome stuff.
They are not doing a bad job AT All on this Cars songs. Love it.
The Cars were so unique when I was a kid. Sounded great then and still hits a home run with me today!!!
they were from the future.
This was a video from 2014, and that song is now 40 years old TODAY... when their debut album was released on June 6, 1978!!!
What a BLAST! Love Greg Hawkes!
This was a treat, thanks.
Greg Hawkes is a Saint

RIP Ric Ocasek
And Benjamin.
Wow! That’s the Roland Jupiter 4 Hawkes used in the studio and during live performances in the 70s. Fucking so cool!

The lead guitarist isn't Elliot Easton but not bad! 👍
He is left handed though.
