Nice. Kevin Gilbert is probably the greatest rock artist that hardly anyone has ever heard of. His catalog of music with Giraffe, Toy Matinee, Thud and solo is spectacular.

Toy Matinee is a reference record. The musicianship, composition and production is in a league of it's own. Thank you for this.

Guy Pratt is a comic genius in the parallel dimension, his sense of humor is as sharp as his bass play .

Loved the Toy Maintee album . One of the best .imo . Thx Guy 4 sharing 😊

Kevin Gilbert was a genius. I’m so glad you’re speaking about the Toy Matinee.

Great clip. You are indeed one of my fav bass players. 🙏 I met Kevin Gilbert in Japan back in -89 and also met him here in Sweden once. We did keep in touch for some years. Fantastic musician and singer. Sad he is gone. 😢

I absolutely love Toy Matinee. Kevin Gilbert was a genius and I loved his solo projects, as well as Giraffe. Brilliant music.

Kevin Gilbert was a huge talent. This was one of my favorite albums from the period.

Thanks Guy...best song EVER. An album that should be in every collection. Great songwriting, playing, and singing. The genius of Pat Leonard and Kevin Gilbert. No wonder you all had such a great time. Sounds amazing on both CD and vinyl.

This is insanely cool. KG music is sacred ground in our family... our music collection... and it's a pleasure to hear these insights! We play (or attempt to!) KG music in many projects over the years.

I was obsessed with this album and couldn’t understand why it didn’t get the acclaim it deserved. Not to knock another group but this band along with the songs was far better than Mr.Mister and had far less commercial success. This bass playing is phenomenal and is a microcosm of what made the record great. Bravo!

Kevin was a HUGE Peter Gabriel era Genesis fan, so I'm sure the dig on Phil came from him.

Thanks for mentioning Kevin. Seems he sometimes gets overlooked when you discuss this album in interviews, so thanks.

Never knew about this band. Got my grubby hands on the cd today - what an amazing album!

”There’s gonna be a few more from this album”. YES! Thank you kindly!

This is the content we need to get us through these strange times. Thank you.

I just posted Last Plane Out as day 5 of 10 of albums that we most influential to me. Kevin Gilbert was an amazing songwriter that left us way too early! The music on this album ranks up there with the Beatles. As a drummer, Brian's work on this was incredibly inspirational to me and is one of my favorite songs to play. Thanks for sharing this Guy!

I remember when Kevin brought me the demo tapes of this stuff I was totally blown away. We played together at Serra High School. I went on to play with Roger Steen from The Tubes and later with Miles Schon, Neil‘s son. Check out Roger Steen’s 2012 release. Kevin I love you brother.

One of the most underrated albums of all time. KG was simply brilliant and the sheen of the production still sounds fresh today. Incredible bass playing, Guy!

Heard this song on AFN radio in Germany around '91 and became an instant fan by the time the 1st chorus was over. Kevin Gilbert was a genius. Check out his music like Thud or The Shaming of the True.

Well now I need to see a Tim Pierce and Guy Pratt KZfaq collaboration.

Great tune....thanks for sharing.......RIP Kevin Gilbert

I lived in LA when this came out, and KLOS played the hell out of this song!! Just a fantastic album. I have the re release, and your phone call is on one of the bonus tracks. This should really get a vinyl issue. It would sound amazing I think.

Beautiful work! You’re absolutely beaming recalling this band, had to be a golden time. Great album.

One of the all time greatest CD ever. I'd almost say Beatles caliber but my loyalty to the Beatles prevents me from saying that. I'd love to hear Things She Said, Queen of Misery and Jenny Ledge. I'd also love to hear more stories about the making of this CD. Thanks for sharing.

I heard this on the Radio at KLOS Los Angeles and was during Desert Shield/Storm and took this album and loved the Music and also Love Things She Said also.

Fabulous. I love the shake/slide of notes you do. Especially in LPO. So cool and it pops right out for a second and your ear goes "WTF was that?? Was that mee ears?" Crossing my fingers for Jenny Ledge. Been a huge fan of Kevin's work for years as well. Gone too soon. Thank you again, Guy. Very appreciated.

Fantastic Mr. Pratt! What a bass line! I had know idea you played on that. I was living in LA at the time and discovered Kevin Gilbert on Mark and Brian. Loved that Toy Matinee album. Great playing, writing, production! I played the hell put of it. Should have had more recognition. Kevin was quite a talent and is sorely missed.

Guy, I am a drummer and I can honestly say you are the greatest bass player I've ever heard... Your taste is a once in a lifetime gift given to you at birth... If I have one dream is to play the Toy Matinee album with the incredible group of super musician... I have to say that you are my biggest inspiration even thogh we do not play the same instrument... In my opinion, the death of Kevin is the saddest in music history... I think that playing with you will be the happiest day I can ever dream of...

For me, as brilliant as Kevin Gilbert was (RIP), it's Guy Pratt that makes this song for me. Actually this whole album. I'm a drummer but I love bass players who lock it down with the drummer so the melody can float above it. It's the thing that makes your head move and it's a lost art anymore. We need less fretboard acrobatics and more Guy Pratt's and Mark King's in the world.

Toy Matinee was great, your bass lines and tone are a major part of the sound. Absolutely love it.

Mr. Pratt, It's just such a privilege and pleasure to listen to you play and share your stories. Thank you so very, very much!

I became an instant fan of Toy Matinee when I lived in LA after hearing you for the first time on Mark & Brian. Shortly after that, I couldn't count how many people came into the record store I was working at to ask if we've gotten your album in stock, and then finally the full album finally got released, and I just had to get a copy of it for myself. Let's just say I became an even bigger fan after hearing the album in its entirety and that fanfare never died out, even after all these years. I kept thinking to myself how your bass skills and Brian's drumming really stood out as something quite powerful---such a "concept you can dance to" if you will. I still play my Toy Matinee CD constantly.

YES YES YES! My favourite album ever! Amazing video, thanks so much, Guy!

Love this track and just got the reissue vinyl of Toy Matinee, a classic mostly unknown album. Did not know you were on bass until now Guy! Thanks for video

You were amazing on that album! My absolute favorite album of my entire life! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

Wow, this album will be released on vinyl again here in the Netherlands 🇱🇺 I bought it last week and really happy with it!

Great to hear all your memories of your Toy Matinee experience. Thanks for sharing your unique insights and your enthusiasm is contagious and joyful.

Wonderful episode. I’m now a fan!

HOLY MOLY I didn't know this one! Thanks for sharing this gem. Octave pedal bliss

Toy Matinee is how I discovered Guy. I had had the album since its release, one day while listening to it I was struck by the bass work and had to find out who the hell this badass bassist was. That was when I realized just how much music in my life had featured Mr. Guy Pratt. Cheers Guy and thanks for allll the great tunes!

amazing...this is what playing for the song is all about!!

I've always loved this song. The bass is simply amazing. Thanks

Always loved this track. Great bass part, Guy. Good to hear the the story behind the song and thanks for putting this video together

Some of the most brilliant bass playing I've ever heard...And you've done a lot of great stuff.

Amazing stuff guy thanks and stay healthy!

Thank you! Never knew of this album, it's awesome!

That was totally enlightening and inspiring! Thank you so much. Toy Matinee was my favorite band and album of the 1990s. A brilliantly produced and performed masterpiece!

Yes....having a mini bassgasm here! Your playing on the whole Toy Matinee album is truly excellent stuff - thanks for doing this one!

One of my favorite records. I’m even more impressed now after watching this amazing performance.

Thanks for the entertainment over the last few weeks. Informative & interesting. Two more weeks before my lockdown hits the buffers before I start traverse the roads once again driving the number 23 bus.

Guy this is a wonderful tune and has introduced me to TM. It gives me shivers. Thanks for making it.

Love your videos, Guy! Thanks for doing this. Been a fan of your playing for years, and it's great hearing the stories behind the music. Your book was fantastic, btw! I've given copies to musician friends of mine as gifts.

Love your work on Toy Matinee! great playing!

Still remember the first time I heard Toy Matinee when it first came out... blew me away. An absolute high-water mark for post-70's music and one of the greatest musical collaborations ever of largely unknown talents. Awesome story. Next time you're in LA, you should hook up with Tim Pierce and do an episode on his YT channel... just do it!

Guy, thanks for doing these videos. I looked forward to getting the notification of a new one! You have more talent in your little finger alone then I do!

Thanks for turning me on to this song and Toy Matinee. Last Plane Out is one of those songs that tells truths the powers that be don't want you to know.

loving these videos Guy, you're the best!

Thank you very much Guy for your videos, your energy, your groove, and for this track I didn't know and I love it!! keep on and stay safe!!

Such a brilliant album - writing and production. One of my faves of all time. Thanks Guy for the great expose.

Re: Toy Matinee. GREAT album! I still recommend it often.

Wonderful as ever, Guy. Nice one, sir!

Thanks for doing these videos Guy! Me & my partner tune in every week! You’re awesome! Looking forward to the next instalment! 🎸

So much positive energy. Great Guy.

Awesome Guy. Love it.

Yeeeeeeaah! Love it! I hope you're well and safe!

You finally got to play it!! Well worth the wait, I’d say - and such good fun to play along with. 👍🏻

In my top ten albums of all time. Your bass lines could not have been any more perfect, so fitting and flavorful. Been listening for 3 decades now. LOVE LOVE LOVE the whole album, endless thx - and I saw you in Floyd twice

My favorite TM song!!! Once again, fantastic bass playing!!

Brilliant listening to your stories and of course your basslines, thanks for keeping us entertained.

I feel fortunate to have obtained a copy when I could. One of the BEST sounding, recorded, produced and written albums of all time...that few have heard. My God, these musicians are just...well....completely in the pocket of groove. The bass....being a bass player myself...is outrageous and a perfect complimentary performance to each song on the album. I am humbled by it all.

❤️❤️it!!......Toy Matinee & Third Matinee are two of my favorite albums!!

Guy very good baseline ... excellent thanks for showing it and sharing

guy you are great. thanks for playing for us.

You and Tim Pierce together... THAT's AWESOME. Thank you!

You're the secret sauce in so many of the songs I've loved since their release. Thank you for this video. It was an absolute delight to watch.

Awesome. Cool to see all the other stuff you’ve done that I didn’t know about

Thanks Guy, one of my all time favorite albums. Thanks for the break down and great stories!

Favourite album of all time!superb👍

Kevin is one of my inspirations. It's so awesome seeing that you have a channel. Thank you so much. Toy Matinee's self-titled is a bona fide album.

I"ve become addicted to listening to your bass lines - they are just extraordinary and very cool - accompanied by your particular humorous take on stuff - love it all.

Cheers Guy, like everyone on here, really enjoy these videos. The insights, humour and the digressing brighten up my day. Been looking forward to this 1 and didn't dissapoint. Murder on the dance floor, luv that bass line and can't wait. Cheers again.
