One of the ALL TIME GREATEST DRUMMERS in ROCK HISTORY. Corky Laing.
Corky is a great story teller and drummer.
What an excellent presentation. Laing comes across as a fine human being, telling a colourful story without ego.
Mountain was the first real rock band I ever heard!
Fantastic interview! I still have Mountain Climbing on vinyl …MISSISSIPPI QUEEN still kicks ass every time I hear it or play it!
Mississippi Queen is a perfect rock song. Short and amazing!!!
Cant beleive this has so few views, more people ned to watch this, Corkys stories are amazing
Excellent Interview! I was fortunate to see Corky and Leslie West perform live on several occasions ( Dallas in the 1990s, LA in 2007), and the positive sparks were always flying of the stage - magic times !
HELL, YES!!!
I was fortunate to be in the front of the crowd for West, Bruce & Laing in Boulder Colorado in +/- '73. Corkey needed sledge hammers to play his kit...to this day that is the loudest band I ever saw, compared to the dozens I've seen. It was like sticking my head in a jet engine. They were good that night, I think they played w/ Little Feat. Everybody was definitely amped up on weed and assorted potions. Thanks, appreciated.
Corky by name, and a 'Corker' of a raconteur!!😊
Corky's 'roll call of some of the great and famous' is indeed an envious one! He has kept some illustrious company, that's for sure!!😊😊
Yes no question! And thankyou!!
CORKY LAING 🥁 🗻
Thank you !!!!! I found his book on Amazon cause I’m seeing this
What a groovy cat.
I loved Mountain but especially West , Bruce and Langue
What an awesome, unexpected interview.... Corky is not a big name, very underrated drummer...makes for an unknown treasure of experiences by an expert in the field of rock music. As a drummer I will tell you that Corky's understanding of beat placement, is actual playing, is mastery!
I could listen to him all day, great channel
One of the purist raw rock songs ever recorded, the whole song is one complete hook.
Great drummer and a great story teller... I saw Corky with Leslie West band in Houston, Tx. I think it was 1975, they opened for Ten Years After, man what a great concert. keep on rockin Corky
Rock on corky love your drumming stay cool
Just found this channel....so cool you get so many legends doing killer interviews.
Welcome aboard the good ship VRP Rocks! It's a one man channel ( Hey, my name is Paul) and I've been interviewing classic rock legends for years. There's over 300 videos on my channel and I post a classic rock poll every single day as well 👍🤘
Great interview. I've never heard of the guy, but what as raconteur. Good interviewing, too...ask the question, shut up. Another rock biog goes on the list!
A favourite band of mine!
There is a lot more to them than "Mississippi queen"
The first two albums were awesome.
... talking about the band Mountain of course
The third is equally good
Many Party Nights With The Corkster and Clark, and a few other nefarious characters!
I got a fever and there's only one prescription....
Leslie has another version of the Hendrix story. But then again Les is dead, so he can't call Cork and straighten him out.
God Bless Them All.
Haha
What's so funny‽
