Brad Delp gave me goose bumps.
So glad you mentioned Lou Gramm. Always overlooked, and he was incredible.
Me too. Lou Gramm is my biggest vocal influence.
My wife grew up with Ronnie. They're really close friends to this day. She verifies everything he said. She remembers everything from choir, the house in Bellwood, Q's Pizza, his first bands (Drama!) up to the last day as a cover band singer. We see him every chance we get when he's nearby, and he always says hi. The albums he appears on are absolutely fantastic. He's helped take Kansas out to another fork in the road, and it's been great seeing it happen. We wish him continued success. Thanks for posting. 🤘
Such a cool guy. He’s doing an amazing job filling Steve Walsh’s shoes. I’ve seen them live and it’s a beautiful experience. He’s a fantastic singer. So glad he’s in KANSAS.
Saw KANSAS : POINT of KNOW RETURN tour and MONOLITH tour and in a small club in Augusta, Ga 1993....great Everytime...love Kansas.....
I love this guy. For us people who grew up in tge 70's he is one of us.
Perry's voice is forever and I am never not in the mood for it.
Journey isn't Journey without Perry.
You have a point ...... favorite Journey: NEXT album....
Ronnie gravitated to the same bands as me; Boston, Styx, Kansas (fav), Journey, and Foreigner. Oh and Shooting Star. Glad to hear Phil is on the mend.
Brad Delp may have been the best true rock and roll vocalist ever. Perry is gold, but he’s also more pop. Delp is just magic. That was God given talent.
I saw Yes and Kansas. Both great shows. Wish Journey with Steve Perry came near me.
I also saw Foreigner with Lou Gramm , Heart & oh shoot now I forgot the other group .
I lost my son in 2008...I could NOT listen to carry on wayward son or dust in the wind for a good six years after. But I love Kansas... and the songs are great. They just hit too deep. 😢
Music touches us like nothing else...doesn't it.
Great interview John👍🏼❤️ So fun to hear an established R-N-R singer who grew up loving the same bands that you and I loved!!! And Ronnie is a fan of these bands👌❤️
Great interview...great channel....
Shout out to John Elfante.... vinyl confessions is one of my favorite albums....not necessarily among Kansas albums....
Just a great 80s album, came out amongst Robert Plant, Phil Collins, Daltrey, Winwood....
That 80s shift that perhaps was difficult and different at the time....
Arc of A Diver, Pictures at Eleven, Under a Raging Moon, Face Value, Ready Or Not, Street Talk.....etc
Anyone remember Flat Out.????
By Buck Dharma (BOC)....
Or Cut Loose, Paul Rodgets
Or Tommy Shaw... No Such Thing...
Incredible.!!!
That 80s shift ya know
This is the kind of stuff, as a singer, I love to absorb. Thanks Guys. And yes, these are some challenging vocals.
Among the times i've seen kansas live, I got to see them front row on Long Island in NY twice.
In small venues.. Once with Steve and once with Ronnie. The show with steve was at westbury music fair. Phil's rody had his sticks set up on a table right in front of me. Before the show, I asked where I could buy them. He told me online and some music stores. After they played their first 3 songs, Phil needed new sticks. And his rody handed me the sticks he started the show with🤗 Which he signed for me after the show.👍 The second front row at the Paramount.My daughter had bought me the tickets for my birthday. Strangely we were The only ones in the front row.. and Ronnie was literally singing right to us.. One of the best shows ever🤗👍2019. We moved to Georgia, and we'll be seeing them here in Evans In november.. Can't wait..
Kansas has always had good singers. They always sound great!
I thought one of the coolest things about 70's AM radio was the diversity in the genres of music you would hear.
Steve Walsh and Streets......................... awesome
I saw Journey on their first tour with Steve Perry. The opener was Van Halen and the middle group was Montrose. The liner notes for the tour said Perry took 12 years of voice lessons. He just never strained to reach a note. I grew tired of Perry over time, but Walsh and Brad Delp were two of the best vocalists I ever heard. And I absolutely love Kansas....
What a lineup!
Perry never took voice lessons. The 🐐 didn't need voice lessons.
I saw that Van Halen..Montrose... Journey...tour also in ATLANTA, GA....THE FOX THEATER.....one of the best shows ever and seen quite a bit.......
All Great! Also Dont forget Rik Emmet of Triumph. Clear very high voice and a great writer/ musician.❤
Great interview! Just seen them again back in May.Nothing short of amazing.Ronnie is always spot on IMO.
Sept 2, 2016 saw Kansas in San Antonio, Texas.. They put their hearts out on the stage. Excellent sound, beautiful performance. Walked out feeling great.
If Mozart were still alive, he'd be in Kansas.😊
I think he’d have been reincarnated as Kerry Livgren, for sure. No greater songwriter in the modern age.
I seen Kansas in concert in Norwalk CT was great
Fantastic interview! What a down-to-earth guy. Thanks!
I love your interviews and videos in general. Do you take requests? lol Please do something about The Kinks. They are special, underrated and almost forgotten. Both Ray and Dave are getting up there in years and we, unfortunately, won't have much more time with them on this Earth. An interview. A tribute for a classic album. Anything.
1977 was my first of MANY times seeing Kansas live. The last 2 shows w Steve were hard, his voice was going and gone. The last time I saw them was in 2016, in NC. They were touring with Styx and Don Felder, Perry was at the helm and did a great job. I'll be seeing them in Colorado Springs this year.
Great mentions. I’ll add Paul Rodgers.
....no one can touch steve walsh....he is the man........
Correct
Too bad Steve wasn’t nearly as intelligent as Ronnie. Clean living is the best thing you can do to keep your voice in shape. And Steve lived a far from clean life. Hence, his downfall. Watch & listen to Live at the Whisky - what an utter mess he was. Too bad.
There are no violin parts in “Carry On” - Robbie sings & plays tambourine.
How about Greg Lake of ELP.
Ronnie Platt and I could be twins. His story is my story almost to a "T". Born in IL, listening to all the awesome music and vocalists that came out in the 70's, singing in choirs/madrigals and playing in bands. The problems with the voice are exactly what I've expressed to others. Fickle. I still sing and perform in a Styx tribute band (Paradise Theatre) taking the parts of Dennis DeYoung. The only difference is Ronnie made it... I was close. Thanks for a great interview!
I agree, the last two Kansas albums are among their best in the entire discography. I would love to see Tom take over the band after everyone finally retires and keep the fire burning.
Masque one of the best albums
Absence of Presence is a gem!
Live? All of those. Lou Gramm, Pat Travers, Greg Lake, Klaus Meine, Bruce Dickinson, etc, etc....
Just listen to Jon Anderson singing “Gethsemane” on Jesus Christ Superstar. The perfect voice that brought tears to my eyes. No one else could have sung that song like Jon did. Wow! I could listen to it over and over.
My first car was also a Mercury Montego. A ‘76.
I love all the bands and singers mentioned - but the two singers I have never heard ANYONE sound like are Geddy Lee and MeatLoaf. You might not believe it if you have only heard Paradise but Check out Meat's "For Crying Out Loud". My high school music teacher thought it was the best male rock vocal performance.
Steve won't was fantastic without a doubt but my favorite is Mickey Thomas
Nobody can touch Jon Anderson (YES).
But his voice is not right for Kansas.
Where does the intro music being played in this Podcast come from?
I hope my meet and greet in Topeka will be a better experience than the one I had in 2018 in Chicago, it was nothing like Ronnie described, it was more like the one he referenced from a different band
The name may carryon, however it is not the same.
Ronnie has such an ideal voice for Kansas as he vocal tone fits perfectly in between Elefante and Walsh.
the key is live singing, delp was great but needed the studio, im a dio man myself, and bob seger can sing with anyone.
Didn't know Ronnie knew how to play bass
I think it was because YES has Billy Sherwood who was there but there were politics.regarding the YES RRHOF thing. Geddy even asked Billy why HE wasn't doing it.
Billy was not invited in as a member of Yes to the RRHOF so could not appear, is my guess.
I didn't realize Chevy Chase could sing so good! 🤣
John Farnham is the greatest rock voice ever. He also kicks arse in opera! Check out John Farnham and Anthony Warlow. He is the voice 🙏❤️thank God I was privileged to hear it many times live 🙌
He can't hold a candle to Steve Perry or Freddie Mercury
John Anderson of Yes has a high voice and is not singing falsetto.
yes but Seeds of Change,,,,,,is maybe the Ultimate,,,,have a boosterdrink no drink can i trust himmmmmmmm
LOVE Seeds of Change and all Kerry’s music - Kansas, solo, AD, and Proto-Kaw!
2 words for Ronnie... John Elefante
Meaning??
