Hello Scott, Thank you for posting these amazing interviews! I have a question about Freddie Gruber. I had heard that a Modern Drummer Dvd was released (I think 2005?) that featured Freddie in clinic, but then was discontinued. Would you happen to know anything about this? Thank you, Stef.
@scottkfish429222 күн бұрын
Hi. Thank you for writing. The short answer to your question: I don't know. If you can't find an answer searching the web, perhaps MD's archives, or DW Drums might be of help. / Sincerely, Scott

I’m not a drummer (or musician period), but I have, with earbuds gone back to listen to much of Jim’s catalog. Two of my favorites where his unique style really shine are What Is Life (George Harrison), and My Maria (BW Stevenson). If one listens first to the Brooks & Dunn edition then immediately play the Stevenson original, it’s obvious how Jim could make the song incredible.

Erie that the murder of his mother would take place 15 months after this interview. After reading Joel Selvin’s book, we know how bad his demons were haunting him
@user-ik9mo8wm7qАй бұрын
Evidently, Jim blamed his mother for the death of Karen Carpenter. Mental illness is a terrible thing.

I always wonder what Mr.Gordon did after he hung up the phone after this interview..the man was living in a hell we dont understand..i think his mental problems are still a mystery today

Good question. I always sent my edited interviews to the artist for approval before publication. But I don't remember details of my Jim Gordon interview follow-up.
@jonwingate55352 ай бұрын
thank you for responding..its humbling for me..ive played drums since 1978..ive had my trusty Yamahas since 93..just some fyi..Mr.Gordon called you..i think that very telling in that he didnt want you to call him and catch him when his illness was "acting up"..the book says that Eric Keltner caught him at a bad time..Mr. Gordon doesnt look healthy in the MD photos..seems he found fame again after his passing..i hope all the petitions for a hall of fame spot for Jim Gordon are successful..i appreciate your time and replys to my comments..once again..very humbling..best JRW

Wow, amazing to think this interview was only about a year and a half before he brutally killed his mom, so clearly he’d been in the grip of his mental illness struggles for quite some time by this point. You’d never know it by listening to this interview; he sounds so…normal. Anyway, such a sad twist of fate for such a gifted musician.

@@jonwingate5535. I had the same reaction Jon. It is truly a heartbreaking and tragic story. In the closing chapters we all wish someone one (friend, doctor, anyone) who could have truly helped him. I’m really surprised no one has made a full length documentary or movie about Jim.

Neil pearts books are cool i think the Best is traveling África becouse You get to know him more openly. The other books like Ghost rider he is just escaping from his pain. But what a Smart man full of knowledge and leared to love his music more becouse then his music and lyrics makes sence a lot more. He makes me want to learn more in regards of studies of all kinds of things.
