Now get Robert Smith! And Simon Gallup :)

Reeves has been one of my heroes since I first heard Tin Machine - absolutely love his playing - it's that odd combination of free-form wild chaos of the verge of tearing a hole in the space-time continuum meeting precise and deliberate playing.

Went to 3 Cure gigs of the last tour and Reeves is an awesome player and the overall guitar sound was incredible. They got those little supro amps too which I've never seen them use before. Even real old tracks sounded fresh and exciting. I think he's done a super job and I'm a big cure fan. Just wish there were more Cure questions in this interview but it's already a big thing The Captain interviews someone playing a bit more experimental stuff. Let's have more of that please.

1 hour long with Reeves Gabrels ... on video !!! Definitely (and finally !) the BEST THING that happen in 2016 !

Gabrel's guitar playing on "I Can't Read" was perfect for that song - full of fear, anxiety and rage.

Dear lord, please get Robert Smith

I've met the man himself, he's a lovely man and he signed my Reverend as well!

Reeves Gabrels could absolutely run rings around any guitarist on this thread with just his pinky finger, he is not known within the American music industry as the 'White Hendrix' for nothing. A virtuoso musician of the very highest level, and an absolutely lovely man to boot, really enjoyed this even if it didn't really show much of his guitar work 👍

This is one of my favorite things that's ever been on this channel.

It's an aesthetically pleasing guitar. I love the hybrid look it has, there's a lot going on.

went to see the cure at Wembley earlier in December and this guy was on point great guitarist shame so many jealous will never be's can't appreciate that

That was something, he's an interesting guy with a darn good memory. Really liked his history and guitar background!

Thankyou you for arranging and posting this video, worth its weight in gold, genuinely educational.

Get Simon Gallup in! He'd probably do it if you stocked up on beer and spoke to him about Doctor Who... Coolest bassist ever.

The thing with R.G. is he is brave, fearless and dares to do stuff. He saved David Bowie's career and that is an undeniable fact.

Guitars, cats, and old black & white movies. It took 59 minutes for him to condense the essence of why i like this guy.

Holy shit, this is getting big. Eric Clapton is slowly starting not to sound like just a joke anymore.

Wow! Can't wait to hear this! I've loved Reeves ever since Tin Machine.

I knew this would be a great interview.......Reeves is a pretty interesting guy. Thanks for the entertainment Lee. David Bowie is the definition of ART in every sense........period.

After just watching this I now realize just how much a perfect guitarist Reeves Gabrels is for The Cure and how importnat he is for their sound. Just like you could now not imagine Wilco without Nels Cline.

I was blessed to see Bowie with Reeves on guitar twice in the late 90s. Two of the best gigs I have ever attended and probably will ever see.

One of the most interesting Captain Meets ever. Being different is his whole thing so not surprising some of the reactions.

The Captain meets St Vincent... that would be super cool

Great job, Captain, Reeves's approach was very inspirational to me when he did that column in Guitar For The Practising Musician, in the early 90's, so I'm glad that you find interest in interviewing him.

I really admire Lee for just letting Reeves talk...he's a great interviewer...

What a wonderful interview! I always find it interesting to listen to creative people, especially someone with as much experience as Mr. Gabrels. Thank you for doing these.

I’m a bass player but im a big fan of Reeves, his style, and forward thinking ideas. Great interview. 😁👍

I remember listening to the instrumental "Why Do I Feel Like I'm Bleeding" by Reeves Gabrels from the "Guitars That Rule the World" album as a kid. Today I looked it up again and ended up here. It is surreal.

Great interview! I love Reeve's playing. I always read the comments of his KZfaq videos. His sound is very polarizing. That proves something I think...

Well, that is a gorgeous guitar...🎸🎸

awesome musician and a great songwriter too. His "Sacred Squall of Now" album is well worth a listen

Enjoyed this. Saw him this year in Denver with the Cure. Totally friendly guy on stage. Interacted and waved to the crowd when he came on and exited. And they did 5 encores that night.

I think that's the best video you've ever done! Absolutely awesome!

I must say this is the first KZfaq hour long video I have ever sat through. Always loved this guy but his story really intrigued me. Thanks Cap10 :)

This is brilliant, among the best guitar vids I've ever seen. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant . That’s Reeves and that’s it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I've been waiting for andertons to do something for us indie fans!!

It is a joy when musicians talk about all styles of music ;not just equipment -a very intelligent video and a learning experience .

Man love the Andertons videos... this one was great, Reeves has a very different art like approach which has led him to creating some excellent “colorful” music...

I remember first time I saw Tin Machine, amazing sound.

A true original. Thank you for posting!

Merry Christmas Captain! You have a job that most people dream of. Cheers!

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Well worth the hour.

Great to see and hear Reeves. One of my favourite players.

I've been a fan since the Tin Machine days. That was a great interview with a guy who has done it all!

One of the best interviews ever!

Anti-social Guitar was far and away my favorite column in GFTPM. And then a few years later I actually got into those Tin Machine albums, and loved them. Pretty cool to see Reeves on the Andertons channel.

Great interview. Going to see the Cure this weekend!

I was just thinking how "i can't read" blew me away the first time I heard and they started rapping about it :) Amazing song and amazing player! Thanks Andertons!

Man Reeves is a really interesting guy and an amazing player. That Reverand is fuckin beautiful

finally someone i can get excited about

Bill Nelson call out. Respect.

Loved hearing about the tremolo trials and tribulations. Almost didn't get that far into the video so I'm glad I stuck with it. Reeves knows his guitars!

Checked out Turk Van Lake. The man was a decant player and was also adjunct music professor at the College of Staten Island.

When I first heard the solo on Looking for Satellites, I thought it was from another planet.

Great interview, Reeves is such a great musician that is unfortunately so underrepresented. Thank you for going so in depth with him. Please get Buckethead on your show next.

as a first time commenter... this is super good. thank you The Captain.

Great. Reeves is amazing.

Great overview of 40yrs ground breaking music making machine! - and again thanks to the Captain

Wow. Thank u Andertons, & thank u so much R.Gabrels! Ever since Tin Machine days, you r absolutely one my favorite guitarists on the planet. 1st time saw u with the Cure, on video, wasn't sure & was like - Man , is Reeves nu lead with another of my favorites? And then,little later- oh yeah! Seems like such a,natural& seamless merger. Have caught several of the Euro.& even Russian shows,courtesy of that ww.interweb. Saw that few days ago, u were in Ca. Reeves, never gotten c Cure& u weren't with David B.when got c him,on Diamo nd Dogs tour, in Nashville. Hoping you all not thru with tour& .maybe they'll b some East coast dates! Would love 2 meet u someday, another Tn.fan, take care.

Great interview. Growing up I strarted with Clapton, Page & Beck. But in the late 80's/early 90's I discovered Vernon Reid, Adrian Belew & Reeves Gabrels & they took me off in a whole new direction. Great stuff!

Love this, thank you, Reeves is awesome

Amazing! Very interesting. I’m a fan now. Heard of him through the Cure and love his outside the box approach.

For sure this guy will be call for the next g3 with joe satriani and Steve vai, the cure guitar players skills are from another planet wow!!!

I couldn't hear him with the fuzz and Bigsby any more, it was killing my ears. Bless his heart, he talked low and took forever to explain things.

I watch all of "the captain meets" but I closed this one instantly after listening to the intro jam :D

Great interview, great interviewer. The Captain has the right blend of appreciation and curiosity to visit all the subjects I want to hear from Gabrels: Bowie, Cure, Reverend, guitar philosophy.

Yay! Someone seriously stocking Reverend guitars in the UK! Happy Happy Happy!!! Loved the brand since I bought my Club King HB back in '07. Hopefully Anderton's will actually be willing to order in a guitar rather than saying "this is what we've got, if you don't want it, stop wasting my time"...

Brilliant interview

If you're going to lack natural talent, it never hurts to get instruction from two of the best Jazz musicians of all time.

Ace. Thanks a lot for this!

great innovative player, thanks for sharing.

Saw The Cure in Glasgow in 2019.RG’s guitar playing is something else. Brilliant.

The disc with Reeves and Andy LaRocque is mind blowing. X-World 'New Universal Order' 2008.

Excellent interview!

Sorry for being late. What a great interview

Love the spacehawk.

I recently won a Reeves Gabrels-signed Black Spacehawk. It is a semi hollow body. Interesting sound!

Extremely interesting. To all the commenters who cut this interview down? You have the imagination and creativity of a potato. Poof! Here's your time back. Nobody asked you for it, now go away. Great vid! Thanks

Cool shout out to Bill Nelson and BeBop Deluxe. Super under appreciated. I liked Reeves in Tin Men.

The soloing around 18:30 started to remind me of some of David Torn's work...

He’s the reason I bought my Parker Fly Deluxe in 98’. I love Earthlings and still am trying to get my guitar to grab those high pitch harmonic squeals lol. I think he used a Boss multi effects unit that made his guitar sound like a theremin. Love Reeves!!!!!

28:40 Pinkpop is not in Amsterdam, but the south of Holland. I was there in 2012, it was a kick ass show. :)

Though not a huge fan of his playing, I do really like his attitude about finding ways to get non standard and more interesting textured sounds out of a guitar. I'm a sucker for that stuff.

Fantastic guitarist. I had a dream last night and in it I was the imaginary lead vocalist for Reeves' band.

It doesn't matter how clever it is if it sounds shit

I like reeves a lot he has a signature style of his own and reminds me of Adrian Belew at times with his unconventional approach and personally I think he's a great addition to The Cure, i loved Porl's work too and the myriad of band members that's appeared with the band at certain points in time. Reeves really suited the Tin Machine vibe and his signature playing style is evident over that period with Bowie. I've seen Bowie on numerous occasions as i have The Cure too since 85 with a variety of line ups and reeves fit's in as well as any of the other members did it's just that the band are past their creative peak and that's okay for any band working over a forty + year creative life span. Ronson and Slick were my favourite Bowie guitarists i find Belew was just a little to self indulgent for my tastes, and struggles with that self awareness and when to rein his excessive fret noodling in i find, and yet Slick on the other hand always has so much more composure and tone control and a fine sense of timing at least to my ears when it comes to sound and vision.

Awesome...

Very enlightning.

Wow super cool!!

Played with Scofield, BEFORE getting bigger; WOW, what a concept!

Master Guitar Genius🎸

but Robert smith plays guitar aswell

any chance of some lessons I can play em7

31:03 / 1:38:11 David Bowie - Loreley Festival - Outside Tour 1996 MARVELOUS Guitarrist!! amazing artist.

I know Reeves was really into Adrian Belew's "Vertical" approach and guess he'll mention that at dome point.🎸👂👌

Very nice

Say what you want about him on here but I've seen him play for three+ hours with The Cure four times. Watch him play for them because it's amazing. He weaves in and out of prominence within the music and works with the band in a way most guitarists just couldn't. Whatever you think of Bowie or The Cure, they're not gonna hire someone who's shit are they

"The Sonic Youth faucet" too cool

great point about people wanting to play with orchestras . i always hated the fact that some rockers felt they had to work with an orchestra , like they were saying that rock music isn't a legitimate art form, like they didn't have any belief in what they were doing
