He was a Halloween baby! Also, his pet peeve is oversized trick-or-treaters, so when my brother showed up in costume and demanded extra treats, he knew he was taking a risk!

Shaking a jug with beads on it is being a musician?
21:47 showing his ignornace of the tech and how to use it!
What a business..pay great musician s a few bucks..and record company and artist make millions
3:35 IRONY!!!!!!!
There's a quote about comparing the musicianship of today to the golden age era of session musicians 60's/70's/80's ... "Before Pro-Tools ... there were PRO's ... I'll leave it at that ..."
God bless these people
Excellent presentation, thank you ! Bill P.
Devasting to think AI is going to destroy this career path. I'm hopeful true artists will continue to only want to work with real players and keep their music purely human and real. Can see plenty of major labels opting to use cheaper computer generated tracking, making mainstream music sound even more fake and mass produced.
i remember seeing lenny castro on those early toto music videos.
Little Diddy bout Grant and Diane!
how can I work for this company? I am a home studio person. My music is "khan flo mah". look that up. I work with people over the net already.
16:38 - The memorial plaque references Studio B being purchased and restored by the Mike Curb Family Foundation. The Mike Curb Congregation sang the theme song, "Burning Bridges," for the movie Kelly's Heroes.
I moved to Atlanta in 1980 when I was 23. I met and played with some famous sidemen. I had already played with Seinfeld, Billy Crystal, Dennis Miller, etc., etc. Once I found out these guys touring for $50 a week opening for Chicago and other Super-groups the wind was blown out of my sails. If I had really pushed myself and my music I had a good chance to " make it ". The only thing is I didn't want to play bass for Jr. Walker for $250 a week living on a broke down old Greyhound bus. So I went through life saying I was a musician but the only real success I had was as a private pharmacy to the " Stars ". In the end who cares? What's a voodoo lounge anyway?
my dad was a session musician for 45 years
These guys pay their dues, not just with time practiced, but with all the ups & downs that come with truly honing their craft. I watched a Doc, called 20 ft from stardom about back ground singers & essentially they had the same story. Few become stars, but even for them, what do they do In the mean time ? How can they pay their living expenses ? One way is as a session musician, but once your plugged into it, you quickly find a comradary, a community with a mutual passion. Having a band is time consuming, expensive & finding & keeping the right fits is difficult. A popular Session studio networks everything you need, & you get to collaborate with players that understand your all pieces of the puzzle & you get paid for doing it. Even without a huge pay day, it's enticing.
Some Z-List duffers here alright!
Nicky Hopkins is my favorite session player. Too bad he didn't get much credit/money from his contributions but that's the life of a session musician.
10:15 Damn!! Lenny Castro is a BADASS!!
There should be a quantize grid in every DAW that's just called "Lenny"
I know from your other video on this subject that you are 100% burned out on the entire Stalingrad series but if you weren't I would think that most of your current viewers would be fine without the weekly video if we got the Stalingrad video. Not weekly but on your regular schedule. It may be that there's a financial imperative to publishing every week that as a non-youtuber I wouldn't understand. Well I would understand it but I'm unaware of it.
Unfortunately this comes off as really dated. I always like this subject of session musicians and there are some pretty good full documentaries out there about session musicians or songwriter/ghostriders. The actual musicians who help the shitty musicians make millions of dollars without making any money themselves. Or very little money.
My limited experience of these guys is that they are so advanced in their playing that there's a tendency to overcomplicate. That's part of why Ringo was a great drummer for the Beatles, he never did to much, everything was measured to the song. That in itself is a real skill.
Drummers like Bernard Purdie played on lots of Beatles songs. Even McCartney said in " Musician " magazine in an interview in the 80's that they had to show and even play all the drum parts for Ringo. It's all part of the hype and bullshit of the music business. You want to know what the music business is really all about? It's selling electric guitars. The music business is over, it's dead. You can't even go out anywhere anymore and see a live band. At 66 it's a major effort to even touch my instruments. I've saved myself a major amount of psychological pain by accepting reality.
These guys understand music. Selflessness is important. Thanks for sharing.
I am a face player and I and why I like to hear your mom and my yellow musical instruments curling club synthesizes yeah hello Hayes it’s fine wines I would just much rather hear a human being playing, I am just other junk that’s all sensuous from Kevin C and Eric that is ridiculous
New country music sucks! Never been a big fan anyway but it sucks! It's the most fake shit out there! I'm so tired of hearing all of this computerized fake shit!
everyone knows that when a bunch of musicians are left in a room together , its like a game of highlander (......there can be only one ......thwack )
10:00 that's a perfect performance on percussion and serves the song
19:16
These guys were indeed the last class of studio guys....now we have computers. Shame....some of the best musicians in the world got together this way. Listen to Aja from Steely Dan.
There’s a bunch of guys from the 70s/80s that played on everything. Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, Steve Lukather, Larry Carlton, Nathan East, Pino Palladio, Greg Philangines, everything they do sounds great. I’d buy an album just to hear theses guys.
then there's Dann Huff and Mike Slamer guitarists who played on lots of 1980s and 90s hit songs from different genres
whats that piano song in the background at 16:40 ?
I'm very thankful there is the internet, most of the scores of session musicians are out there, in the past these were just known in a small part of the world. Or not at all. Immense respects for these art makers. Till this day, where digital samples and techniques are more and more the new normal, which we also use, and the art slips away, unfortunately. The recent producers are a team, from 5 and more peeps who write a song, it's like making a jigsaw puzzle, I hate it.
21:03 Yeah people are trying to cut corners and save money. Just like microwave dinners. Sure it's lasagna, and it tastes kind of like it. And anybody can "cook" it. But it sure as hell is not grandma's.
my teacher is making me watch this for homework.
Mark prentice Hi from your old friends in Watertown
ALL I HEAR IS STEELY DAN.
“Like the whole band performing together like they did on analog ”
Beautiful it is about the people playing together and feeling the groove.
Yes, I remember. When everything was a wonder. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sitting here thinking, i would love to sing with these guys, but my timing is not perfect - alot, but by the end of the video, i understood that the human side of this business is what makes it real
Nice photography, especially of the Astro Orbiter and the Tea Cups.
Toto: the living representation of session musicians.
Steeley Dan as well!
Indeed!
Mark Jordan especially nailed it about how over use of technology breeded a plethora of mediocre wanna be musicians that never should of been there in the first place! Technology is meant to enhance not be a musician's oxygen tank! Love the outro jazzy playing towards the end segment with Lenny,Kenny & Mark. Example: real live musicians..interacting!
George Benson's album Breezin' was recorded and mixed by Bill Schnee at his studio in two days. Was in the charts for years.
I thought there is young De Niro on the title frame. Even the mole on the same place.
Ia that need any certificate to be a session player? Because i'm a drummer and i can play whatever songs i heard but i have no qualified letters or grade level in theory to proves.. So can i being a sessionist??
Trivia: Which session musician did Elton John ask to join his band after working with him in 1972 for a few days in the studio?
Loved the video and I get the lament about technology replacing real musicianship. However, since I'm a piano technician for over 40 years I couldn't help noticing, sadly. there was not an acoustic piano in sight. I tune in the NYC area for 3 recording studios. Each has a great acoustic piano. It's good to remember all the piano sounds from a digital keyboard start with an awesome acoustic piano sound. Which, like great musicianship, can only be replicated digitally, not produced organically. I guess it's like the guys that made the best buggy whips lamenting about the dawn of the automobile age.
I've noticed celebrity musicians offering musical instruction on the internet
