I actually had the privilege of playing in a band with George back in 1999 - 2001. I was 20 years old when I had met him, still learning bass. He taught me sooo much musically. I got to say that he was/is the sweetest, just super down to earth cool guy. Till this day, I credit George for most of everything I learned as a bassist. I unfortunately lost touch with George but I think of him constantly and miss him dearly. Love you George!
Glad I found a this too! I saw fIREHOSE in like 87 in the South Bay at I think One Step Beyond. Slovenly opened for them and Camper headlined. I was an instant fIREHOSE fan and started giving The Minutemen another listen. George was an inspiration for me and I started using the same drumsticks he used around that time or a bit later. I don’t remember the brand but they were black composite with red rubber grips. I loved the balance of those. I saw them play around 12 times in the greater Bay Area. Thanks for this fun interview!
This was great! Not a ton of interviews with Mr. Hurley out there, so I was very happy to find this. It was cool hearing him tell his own story. Most of what I knew of George Hurley before was from Watt interviews or from rock literature.
Definitely my favorite person I've never met...he always bolted after shows. I have so much respect for George Hurley on many levels. Even though his technical ability was obvious, it was so much more about the feel he brought to the songs. Thanks for the interview. I figured out just today how to describe what it is I like so much about George and his playing. *Subdivision* and he's so humble...
now the thing kinda makes sense.. George tells of the random love that sort of keeps him and Mike apart as far as a new band.. it's sentimental, but more a ~Life is huge- kind of thing.

Hurley playing drums is the roots, the trunk and the leaves.
