Carl Palmer is still one of the greatest drummers ever and I love Emerson Lake and Palmer I’m a huge fan and I love Asia king crimson is great and so is a yes and Keith Emerson was such a magnificent keyboard player and Greg like one of the greatest ever.
I love Carl Palmer’s amazing drum solo on rondo alla Turca the live from Zerorez in Switzerland that version is still one of the greatest songs ever written.
Carl Palmer is still one of the greatest drummers ever and I love Emerson Lake and Palmer I’m a huge fan and I love Asia king crimson is great and so is a yes and Keith Emerson was such a magnificent keyboard player and Greg like one of the greatest ever. Carl Palmer will still be one of the greatest ever they’ll never be another group like Emerson Lake and Palmer or Asia.
Thanks to Carl for his amazing work especially in ELP. Such a hard worker. Huge talent. Thanks Carl and thoughts with Keith and Greg.
I just came across this video of yours and couldn’t resist because of the title. I’ve been a huge fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer since their 1st album. I loved them so much I named a dog I got in 1971 after the second album Tarkus.
Carl looks tired 😪 thank you John for bringing a true legend. ❤️
Brain Salad Surgery is a musical masterpiece and most of the rest of their work is fantastic as well.... Carl Palmer is an amazing and innovative force on the drums. Hats off to him and the other prog legends. "Rod Stewart is a singer... I mean a knob head" - Glyn Johns famous music producer/engineer
Brain Salad is the ultimate Prog Album. It is my Bible!
Seen ELP in Vancouver for the Brain Salad Surgery tour. Sound was off the charts different than anything else i'd heard at that time, the quality was audiophile level in the Pacific Colosseum (wtf?) . Plus the Amazing Drum Stage Carl was on and, well to say the least it was a very memorable experience.
I grew up in the 1970s I was never to big on the whole prog rock thing, I was more into the heavy guitar stuff, zeppelin, stones, moterhead, deep purple, black sabbath, put this group was the exception, I saw them in the 1970s in Richfield ohio great show Carl's drumming was insane,
I was introduced to Carl through Asia. There was a documentary about Asia on MTV that came out around the same time as that big Asia in Asia concert. That was my first education on the whole prog scene and I got into several of those bands especially Tull. Carl was a bit cranky in this interview, but he was a good sport and got through it. Good to see him still playing and working at his craft. He's a legend for sure.
THE drummer, the best of the bests
Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich can be proud of their legacy
Thank You... Great interview
going to see him soon can't wait..
I saw Carl Palmer and some young musicians recreate ELP songs last summer. He used some video footage from the old band in the show. it was magical.
I was 5 when Lucky man came out. My older brother came home with the debut album. I had to be a drummer because of Carl.
I've Seen ELP Three Times. Front Riw Each Time. Amazing Quadrophonic!
I love these full interviews. Very informative. Thanks John. Stay safe and take care.
Excellent interview, as usual. More musicians need to interview these legends before they stop doing them. And allowing them to speak is another skill.
Carl, I was so fortunate to see you guys play in Wichita, Kansas in the fall of 1974... As I recall it was the end of the 'Welcome Back' tour yet you guys put on one hell of a show. It was my first real rock concert and I was so intimidated, just being there. I was a piano player of a sort and watching Keith drove me crazy. It showed me that I could never be 'that'... but I could be the best me I could be and so I used my love for music and my schooling in the percussion sections of all my school bands and orchestras... I started on the snare drum in the second grade and the school band played a show in Bishops Hall . We only had probably 15 people in the band and we only played clasical pieces and most of the time I was on triangle.. And at the end the teacher/conductor pointed me out for keeping the band on time.. I was hooked..
Well John, did an excellent job here.
I am a YES fan I supposed by design, but for over 40 + years Carl Palmer has been my number one drummer!
The questions you asked about off tour, old friends, comparisons with B Bruford as to what motivates Carl these days.....
I saw CP several times in ELP , ASIA, and the 3.
When Robert Berry was on the cusp of reviving 3, first with Keith, and then after his passing, I had learned that Carl was not interested in doing anything further with Robert. I really liked 3 in 1988, and today!
I saw the very first 3 Show in Philadelphia early April 1988.
The Electric factory promoters used a club call the Chestnut Cabaret, at 38th st University City, in Philadelphia.
The Chestnut cab was about a 12 foot high rectangular bar.
The 3 had the Keith Emerson GX1 ,plus additional keyboards, stage left. Carl I believe may have still been using the Steel drums.
His kit was placed on top of the old drum riser platform. His kit was so high, the Club had to remove several acoustic panels so he wouldn't hit then during the show.
There was Robert Berry playing a Steinberg bass, maybe out of necessity because of so little room!
On August 13, 2013 YES, CP legacy, Renaissance played at thee Camden NJ shed- a gig called a YESTIVAL.
After CP's full bore rocking set, he did another!
In a roped off area on the concourse, Carl's " Next" performance was this unbelievable fan interaction!
While Renaissance played, I watched Carl sign everything, drum heads, albums; took pictures; most importantly Carl spoke to each fan who approached him, and gave his full attention!
I like this interviewer- he asks Q's I'd go for.
TY TYYY TYSMUCH for choosing my question for CP-I feel like the coolest fanboy on Earth tonight🌍TERRIFIC INTERVIEW👊😎
Great questions for a great drummer!
Great interview, I could've listened for hours...
I would've loved to have heard a question about 3, to the Power of 3. I've never been informed why it happened, and why Greg was not involved. All do respect to Robert.
Yes that got overlooked. Also Carl's band PM just before the conception of Asia.
great drummer
I saw ASIA in 2012 four original members it was so good
He can deny it to his dying day, but ELP was a prog band by any definition of the term.
😎👍💗🇬🇧🥁🔥🎼💣🔊)) GO CARL GO!!!
😎👍💗🇺🇸🇸🇪🎸💣🔥🎼🔊 YNGWIE!!!
Nice shoutout Carl!
If you ever get a chance to interview Carl again, can you please get his take on the 3 project with Keith and Robert Berry and what caused that to start and ultimately end
I was hoping that you’d broach the subject of the Rock & Roll “Hall of Fame”. Would’ve been reeeeeally interesting to hear his take on that.
Carl, is there any chance that we will hear or see some unpublished ELP concerts from the old days? Has something been preserved?
Really funny when he says ELP weren't prog and then describes the band, using all of the elements of prog... 😄
💓👍
ELP defied categorization but the music business has to label bands
Carls blood pressure looks off the richter if the colour of his scone is anything to go by
I get it, what Carl said about ELP not being a prog rock band. Unlike Genesis, Yes, or UK, ELP played a variety of genres-prog, jazz, classical, folk, honk tonk, blues, and just plain straightforward rock. Often playing just one genre at a time. That said, I still think of ELP as prog because a lot of their music WAS prog, and besides, I can’t think of a more suitable term. Emerson once said “it’s just MUSIC,” but that’s too broad and I can just hear the critics taking issue with that one. Whatever. At the end of the proverbial day, I still think of them as prog.
Grumpy old Carl.
Yeah , the first question he seems really off. I met an associate of Uriah Heep and he said he’s a grumpy old bastard , he really does seem it and he also mentioned Greg was a complete gentleman.
May I at least apologize?... (I really don't even know what I've done) But sometimes my mouth is bigger than my brain... (I have to work on that)... Peace / Truce (maybe?)... Thank you for your consideration
Don't think that's an interesting enough question, hmmm🤔
Yes, that was a strange moment.
My favourite Carl Palmer goes through 1970-77, the three first Asia records until halfway the 90s. Fair to recognise he was a pioneer of percussion, a genius just at only 20-something; his playing was amazing, his solos terrific, he was unmatched.
But from halfway the 90s approx, IMHO, I found him boring and repetitive, like he lost the power and creativity he used to have. When was the last time he did anything new??? I guess it was Gravitas, the last Asia with John Wetton. Then he has been repetitive over the years. And not because he is a drummer - Neil Peart wrote all the lyrics for Rush, Cozy Powell had solo albums, as well as Queen's Roger Taylor, who also was a songwriter and singer, same Ringo Starr, who, at almost 84, he keeps doing new things...
No offense, but to me from the poweful energetic, creative drummer he was in the 70s, early 80s, he became the average drummer.
Also, I never liked his negative remarks towards Keith and Greg after High Voltage; it's OK if he wanted to leave to pursue other projects (playing ELP music with his trio and with no keyboards...), but not the way he did it.
Btw, I would ask Carl - if it was fine to get Cozy Powell filling in for you in 1986 with Keith and Greg, why did you said everywhere, back in 2014, that it was "petty" to bring him in instead of waiting for you?? As far as I am concerned, you were recording Astra, with Asia, but there was a tour ahead which was cancelled by the label due to the poor sales of the album...
Sorry, he is a legend, it's OK having him around playing, but, no, today Carl Palmer is not my cup of tea. I definetly prefer to listen to him on his better days
