The Hip was in a sense a thinking person's rock band. Numerous literary and historical references in the songs, telling stories that nobody else in music was telling. And their sound was instantly recognizable. There aren't many rock celebrities that can manage to be an outspoken voice of conscience while still retaining their cool the way Gord Downie did. How many rock stars do we really admire as human beings? Our hearts go out to Gord Downie's family and friends, and we wish Gord Sinclair and all the members of the band every success in their future endeavours.
One of the greatest bands ever. I had heard them for a few years before finally getting to see them live. Gord Sinclair talks about the energy shared between the audience and the band, and it was definitely real. I saw them my last time in Buffalo, NY by the waterfront. It was raining hellishly, pouring the whole show and it never stopped the crowd, just dancing the whole time, and it never stopped the band. They played 5 encores and had to be soaking wet. I couldn't believe they kept playing another tune and then another. Epic! It was my birthday and one of the best I ever had in my life.
I was just the opposite. I was blessed to see them, front row, in a bar in Tucson, AZ. before I'd ever heard a song. The following year I was blessed yet again when I got the opportunity to meet the band after a show in Tucson during their Road Apples tour. They were so very down to earth and so talented. It was an honor to share my Marlboro's with them because whatever they were smoking was really bad.
I love it when a member can tell the story of their band's evolution and not let their ego get in the way. Gord, a Gene Simmons you are not, and we thank you for it.
Jay Luck all the Hip guys are and Gord was, very down to earth great guys with your smart, personable Canadian upbringing and mentality. Whoever got to meet and hang with these guys or better yet get to know and work with... should certainly I think realize the uniqueness and incredible quality to this entire band around the board. The Tragically Hip forever.
I found The tragically hip for the first time in 1993 at record store, there in the back was a discount section. The cover cought my eye so I picked it up, and I've been a die hard fan ever since.
🎼So bittersweet!! Im from the united states but followed the hip from day 1 !! I am still heartbroken about Gordon & my heart goes out to his family & all that loved him & the Hip! Gord would want the band to go on in one way or another!! Im sure he's watching over you !!✌🙏🇺🇸Thank you for all you made me feel❤
Why would only a Canadian musician say that? I’m sure most musicians from any country at their age would say something like that. Has absolutely nothing about being Canadian. But whatever you say..
I miss the Hip more than any other band. A friend of mine and I drove up to Toronto from Chicago for the 2nd to the last show - it was great. Being able to say goodbye to Gord Downie was very emotional - a once in a lifetime event. I appreciate the whole band - fantastic! Gord Downie was a special human being - he gave us his talent and his soul and we appreciated it. Once this pandemic is over I would definitely drive up to Canada to see Gord Sinclair - keep on rockin' Gord!!!
The day they announced that Gord had brain cancer, I cried, all day, I was a wreck. I cried during that final show, I'd seen them 4 times live, but knowing I'd never have that chance again was devastating. I've been on board since the Last American Exit, and I'm still fully engaged, and I am excited to see Gord Sinclair is going out on the road, I will make a point of seeing and supporting him. The Tragically Hip are an eternal band, like Led Zeppelin, ageless music, rock in it's purest form, always apt, always playable, always THE HIP. I, as a Canadian, believe The Hip are the epitome of Canadiana music, Bobcaygeon, Thompson Girl, just a couple of examples. The Hip are the greatest Canadian music export ever.
Today I happened to watch the documentary film and am so moved. Never heard of the Tragically Hip before. I watched some of Gord's solo MV. Next thing I found is that He passed away.
I first saw The Hip in ‘89, on their “Up To Here” tour, at the SAIT campus theatre (tickets $6!). Saw them countless times over the years, ending with their last two concerts here in Edmonton (tickets were a BIT more than $6! lol). And of course I watched the final show in Kingston on a massive big screen, at a local pub. There weren’t many dry eyes that night, mine included. It was like saying a final good bye to old friends. Good to see ‘the other Gord’ back out there, giving us some new music.
Excellent interview, with good Canadiana. I was fortunate to meet Mr. Gord Sinclair once. Super-nice, down-to-earth guy. Bassist for the greatest rock n roll band in the world. Good luck to him as the reluctant solo artist!
I would love to know just how many people he influenced to pick up the bass as a first instrument. I'm excited to see what his solo record is all about.
@@garnerbrown1077 a person who is not willing to admit the reality of sound. and will only accept that what they hear is good because of the artists connect to the past glories, is the one who has no comprehension of what the quality of music truly is. In other words.. saying that I don't know how to listen to music only tells me that your comments are only based on his association the the hip, not that his voice is good. That tells me that it is not me how does not know how to listen to music, it tells me that you cannot adequately define what a good voice is. it also considers you presumptuous and pompous to think your opinion is all that matters, just because you disagree, because it is not, and you were never obligated to respond. you can actually move on. and BTW, when someone does not find something to their liking and they mention that the voice is not for them.. its not your place to tell them they are wrong, all you have to do is move on.. you are legally permitted to move on away from comments that are not directed at you specifically. So maybe.. that is the best advice offered at no charge.. Move on.
I noticed, as a fellow bassist, his main bass has an extremely worn pick guard. I’ve only seen a few others with so much play wear. It shows how much he was dedicated to his craft and his main instrument. Also, the bass line for Grace, too is one of my favourites…so beautiful and natural. He’s a great inspiration to me!
As a Detroiter I had an opportunity to know a lot of Canadian music. Between CKLW,89X and 93.9 River we Detroiter get a great selection of great artists that the rest of America don't know. Blue Rodeo, Serena Ryder, even Bare Naked Ladies. Lots of cool bands to know.
As a fellow Detroiter, we have been very blessed to be a border town and engage with our Canadien friends and their immense and diverse talents. Thanks to Canadien content we learned about Rush, Triumph, The Guess Who, BTO, Gordon Lightfoot, April Wine, Chiliwack, and as you mentioned: BNL, Blue Rodeo, et al. The Hip were absolutely enthralling in concert and each time I saw them it was a full house and the energy was fantastic. Great times and the music that was left us shines. Thank you Gord...
@sparkyguitar 00: I live in Windsor,Ontario right across from ya obviously \m/ Yes we most definitely have great radio stations on both sides of the river. I miss the old 102.7 Z-Rock & 96.6 Detroit Wheelz I might have the station # wrong as it’s been awhile. I listen to 101.1 WRIF In Detroit Doug Podel. 94.7 outta Windsor
A few great Canadian bands that i grew up with such as April Wine ~ RUSH ~ Bare Naked Ladies ~ Helix ~ Anvil ~ Tragically Hip ~ 54•40 ~ Our Lady Peace ~ I Mother Earth ~ Killjoys ~ Tea Party ~ The Odds ~ Northern Pikes ~ Wide Mouth Mason ~ & so many more!!
"There's a reason that I'm the bass player..."...fair enough, I get what he means, but that being said, The Hip had just about the tightest and most locked in rhythm sections I've ever heard. A *brilliant* bass player, Mr. Sinclair!
Gord has been one of my favorite bass players for years. A truly underrated bassist who could stand toe to toe with anyone. The Hip has one of the best sonic "mixes" of any band out there. Every musician has a distinct place in the mix, and as a fellow bass player I totally dig that.
I miss Gord so much. My heart has been broken since he passed. I dont remember life without him, as a constant in my life. I love the whole band, but my heart.....is so broken
I haven't thought about it much in the past few years, I've been so busy, but I just listened to the last Tom Power interview - It really is a new era without Gord D, and I sure do miss him.
i first hear about the hip from some canadians i met traveling , first time i hear an album i knew something rear i haven't ever hear before ..that its just so real , not trying to sell anything just real sound from the heart sounding loud and awesome i am glad the world dont know them too soon cause it pure genius music untainted and eppic ....
johnnydtractive Incredibly underrated... obviously as is the same band. One of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. Anyone who wants to challenge that clearly hasn’t listened to their insanely robust and deep catalogue. With Gord now adding some more of his music. Perfect.
13:53 - Snowed-in on the Rock. There’s a song in there, hunkered down in a pub on George Street, snow blowin’ a gale outside, making you late for something, anything. But everything is all right because you got a warm seat and another pint, while a local band blares out “Rant & Roar” and everyone’s singing and cuttin’ a rug.
You don't think Gord S. Knows his voice is not a common lead singers voice? He does, and his writing skills are top shelf, and his voice accompanies that. If you know the Hip, do not let Gord the bassest keep you from this great mans songs and singing!
The country united on that final night in Kingston. The band did everything they had to do on Gord’s last run and we were all there with them. Keep going guys. There is still a lot of music left in all of you.
All of the hip are heroes in my book. Each one of them were vital ingredients that made up some of the greatest music ever created. Gordon Downie will never be truly gone because he lives on in these guys and the wonderful music that will be forever in my memory. Thank you Gord Sinclair for being a 5th of one of the greatest bands ever.
8 thumbs down from 8 incredibly prominent morons. Bummer to be them. Gord is an incredibly smart great guy and incredible musician. Try and top that you 8 boners lol.
It took me til near the end of this video to realize this interviewer fella is from Newfoundland. We bawled like young fellas, he said. Yer from back home, I said. Then I googled it.
My heart has been heavy and my soul impacted deeply with your loss and absence. As a Canadian yes I was wondering on how The Hip and family were doing. Today my heart is warm and my soul has brightened knowing you are all well. Thinking of Gord and the Hip every day. Always.
5 years ago I moved to south Florida. The night of the Kingston show I was in the Keys. In a tiny brewery, I I overheard they were going to air the show. I about died. I had to head home that night, but watched from there. Still wished I had I had watched from islamorada florida.
Really doesn’t matter, just means we got to see more of them in extensive cross Canada tours! They played to big crowds that cherished the music, that’s all that matters.
The first time I saw the Hip , I cried, happy tears, I have never felt "the Canadiana of it all" until seeing the Hip, it overwhelmed me. The last show I was a mess.
Thom Sherwin on the recent Alexisonfire tour they played one of their own songs and then morphed into a version of locked in the trunk of a car, had me tearing up. Dallas did a beautiful job of delivering Gord’s lyrics.
Matt Murray I understand not liking their style but to hate the hip is just sad. They had so many songs with so many styles. Hard to believe you couldn’t find one song that you liked.

Well put my friend, well put.
Saw the Hip open for Rush in 1991, the year I first moved to Canada. They have been such a joy - an almost superhuman group. We love you all Gord ❤

That sounds like the Hip right there. \m/

Great interview of a guy I seldom heard about. ❤🇨🇦
There has never, with the exception of the Stones, been a rhythm section like the Hip's.
correct!

"An ending is an opportunity to re-frame and begin anew"
What a humble man great guy
Every dude on that band was just such a class act... no wonder they were able to do what they did, for so long, and with such a great legacy.
Q: What did you do the next day? ... A: "Laundry?" Only a Canadian rock star would provide that answer. Damn, I miss you guys!
Exactly what I thought! I miss them so much!
Gord is impeccably Canadian having been all around the world.
Why would only a Canadian musician say that? I’m sure most musicians from any country at their age would say something like that. Has absolutely nothing about being Canadian. But whatever you say..

What a gem of a man! Break a leg on the tour, Gord. Godspeed.
I love this so much! So truly Canadian!
Inspiring. Ramping up toward my 9th Canadian tour, this has put a little gas in my tank. Much love, Skarni
Great interview as always, Tom!
As a recreational hater of the CBC, i have to put it aside and thank you guys for these interviews with Gord and Robby.
Q has always been on a very short list, even under Ghomeshi. The real heart of the CBC is on the radio, still.
Like the rest of us when we pass, Gord was reborn in another multiverse and is just a 3 year old.
The day they announced that Gord had brain cancer, I cried, all day, I was a wreck. I cried during that final show, I'd seen them 4 times live, but knowing I'd never have that chance again was devastating.

Yup, greatest rock band on Earth.
What can you say !! ... rock on boys
Thanks
Time to Interview "FRANK MARINO" 😎👍🏻
I would love to know just how many people he influenced to pick up the bass as a first instrument. I'm excited to see what his solo record is all about.
dead man I hope an insane amount of people!
Happy he is back performing but his voice is just not for me. He sounds like a little kid
Hmm yeah it is a little odd
Then you don't know how to listen to music...I am sad for you.

@@oneconsciousman1942 wow you sure know a lot...blah blah blah
This guy is the unsung hero of The Hip. So many amazing bass lines on so many great songs.
Agreed! The opening hooks to Blow at High Dough and Grace, Too are the stuff of legendary Canadiana.
100% all of this. Also the amazing menace on Yawning or Snarling.
The Luxury, Machine, Last of the Unplucked Gems, Escape is at hand, and countless others.
The bass line of “Throwing Off Glass”
Pure genius and artistry
Grace, Too has a wicked and unique bass performance from start to end.
Gord is awesome
Wow, what a great interview! But also...maybe THE MOST Canadian interview EVER lol!!!

I’d love Gord to do another video playing the piano ❤
What a great interview. Nice to hear from a member post Gord. What an amazing band. Thank you from Chicago. #foreverhip
I miss Gord so much. My heart has been broken since he passed. I dont remember life without him, as a constant in my life. I love the whole band, but my heart.....is so broken

Thank you Tom & CBC, we love you Gord Sinclair 🎶❤🎶

Gord wrote one of my all-time Hip favourites: "Small Town Bringdown".
Gord wrote most of the Hip tunes*
Wish you the best brother...long live the HIP......

It takes it's sweet time to get there, but it does happen, usually before you know it.
I hope he comes to Ottawa and plays some of the original Hip songs let Get Back Again

His humility, so humble...looking forward to meeting Mr Sinclair this summer in Kingston.
Geat interview. Canadians are just too awesome. :)
And the music goes on...
Such class.
5 years ago I moved to south Florida. The night of the Kingston show I was in the Keys.
In a tiny brewery, I I overheard they were going to air the show.
I about died.
I had to head home that night, but watched from there. Still wished I had I had watched from islamorada florida.
11:07 - How are you feeling about getting back out on the road?
Great interview. best of luck on your new travels Gord
I want the chance to play that guitar in the background in the set here.
It’s a shame the Hip never broke in The States..
Really doesn’t matter, just means we got to see more of them in extensive cross Canada tours! They played to big crowds that cherished the music, that’s all that matters.
Seems as though the best Canadian bands don't "break" in the states.
@@bryanmmusic Uhhhhhhhhhhh Rush?
Two Minutes Hate not a fan.
@@hihi2667 Uhhhhhhhhhhh your mom?
Gord Sinclair. This message is for you. If anyone has a way to message him...?
Because I Want you To ...song title
Please don't stop making music. We all miss him but we know that the whole band is talented. We still want to hear from you!!!!
What do you mean? I can message him
The first time I saw the Hip , I cried, happy tears, I have never felt "the Canadiana of it all" until seeing the Hip, it overwhelmed me. The last show I was a mess.
They so wish they could clone the talent of Ghomeshi...
I think Dallas Green would make a good frontman if they ever decided to do a couple of charity shows.
Him or the singer of REM they have a simular voice
Thom Sherwin on the recent Alexisonfire tour they played one of their own songs and then morphed into a version of locked in the trunk of a car, had me tearing up. Dallas did a beautiful job of delivering Gord’s lyrics.
I get a lil Elvis Costello reflect
CalgaryDynastar Dallas is so good at portraying emotion with his voice. That would have been amazing.
Golson Moldon yes I agree. The album is fantastic.
Seems like a nice guy. Hate the Hip, but seems cool
Matt Murray I understand not liking their style but to hate the hip is just sad. They had so many songs with so many styles. Hard to believe you couldn’t find one song that you liked.
@@thomasbusy3632 Exactly Frank... I feel terrible for any human who cant investigate the Hip's catalogue.
Sad
"Hate the hip?"
Strange.
Probably dont like Bobby Orr or hockey either. Just dont get it.
