    Actually a pretty good interview podcast HOWEVER that episode on AI and concerts in the metaverse is so embarrassing it kind of ruins everything else for me. I’m praying for you brother.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

105. Richard Bona: The Bass Legend on Metheny, Quincy, Belafonte, Jaco, Zawinul, Drummers, Jazz Fusion
Q: How did you meet Quincy Jones?
Quincy attended a show in LA after a mutual contact (Rod Temperton) pressed to see the young artist; a brief meeting led to a long‑term relationship characterized by mentorship and national/international opportunities.
102. Jimmy Chamberlin: Smashing Pumpkins Drummer, Mellon Collie, Siamese Dream, Making Hits, Philosophy
Q: How did Siamese Dream come together and change your career trajectory?
Siamese Dream pushed the band from regional to global recognition. It challenged Billy to write under pressure, pushed the creative process beyond the comfort zone, and solidified the drummer's role in shaping a sound that balanced heavy guitar with intricate, expressive drums. The collaboration with Flood and the decision to document the process live also helped define the band's independent stance.
100. Miguel Gandelman: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Musical Director Interview - How It Was Built
Q: How did you land the gig directing Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show?
A colleague suggested Miguel when another option couldn't commit; Harriet, a creative director, connected the dots and Miguel's prior work and compatibility with the vision helped clinch the role.
95. Simon Phillips: Toto, The Who, Hiromi, Judas Priest, Protocol — Inside the Drumming Legend’s Career
Q: What is the story behind joining Toto after Jeff Porcaro's passing?
Well, the story I heard was about a week later, Steve called me about a world tour and asked me to come play with them.
95. Simon Phillips: Toto, The Who, Hiromi, Judas Priest, Protocol — Inside the Drumming Legend’s Career
Q: What does it feel like to join The Who?
Yeah, it was amazing, absolutely amazing. It was probably the biggest tour I'd ever done.
