One of the biggest frustrations is that these guys never reunited, and the the Shulman Brothers seemingly frowned on the Three Friends project.

The greatest prog band of all time. The best concerts I ever saw were GG. Live, no one even came close.

Derek for me is the best prog singer ever..

i like how the longer he talks the more his scottish accent creeps in

I was introduced to Gentle Giant by my boyfriend at the time, along with many other amazing bands. It was around 1970-l was 18. I immediately fell in love with GG. I was blown away by the brilliance of their talent, every song incredible. I had the good fortune of seeing them in concert in Massey Hall in Toronto, 3 times and once in London England in 1975 at the Rainbow Theatre. They’ve always been my favourite band.

I agree with Derek on the reunion thing. It is nice to see bands get back together and all that, but rarely does the reunion music capture the same sound and feel of the original. That is why there is a such thing as recordings, so we can experience that feel over and over again. With that being said, sentimentally it is good to see bands do reunions.

What is that horrible music in the backround, jeez?!

Well first RIP Ray, Gentle Giant are becoming GIANTS in music. Admittedly, it's taken a long time but their music has become the real test of time.

RIP, Ray Shulman. helluva a musician and band.

Potentially great interview made unlistanable due to the crappy background music. Shame.

CUT THE BLASTED BACKGROUND MUSIC. So annoying, I couldn’t finish watching the interview…

and by the way Eddie Trunk is an idiot who only purpose is to score points for himself!

Went to a Humble Pie concert in Roanoke VA and had no idea who was opening for them. The lights went down and this announcer with a heavy English accent says "For their first tour of America ...welcome Gentle Giant" Then there was this explosion of music I had never heard before. They were so awesome in concert ...I could care less if Humble Pie performed. They have continued to be one of my all time fav bands ...boundless talent !!

Gentle Giant is probably the best British ensemble and I love that I can now listen to all their albums

Someone is playing guitar in the background. Can't hear a single word.

So my original copy of IaGH may be worth something? I think I paid $3 for it back at the record store back in the 70's.

I saw them in NY at Avery Fisher Hall.

Derek looks pretty short for a giant 😂

Annoying background music

Firstly why do we need and background music ? pearls of wisdom from a genius do not need any distractions, that said great to hear one of the stalwarts of Gentle Giant musing over what is now 50 years of magic .

The great problem for those great formations, like GG, is that insistence of weak musical journalists to align them with rock formations, like DT, Yes or similar, when they only tried to develop contemporary chamber music, pushing it's limits, as best as possible. Derek is clear at this point.

Gentle Giant was a genre unto themselves. Nothing else like it. Fantastic!!!!

Jeez, the relentless 'background' muzak almost makes this unlistenable-to. Who the freak thought that was a good idea?

GG is the best

Great to hear from Derek, but OMG, that insipid wailing guitar in the background is so annoying. I can't concentrate on the interview. Who TF thought it was a good idea to overlay that nonsense? Unbelievable.

The Awful background music is so damn annoying!!!! For jazz-rock it’s the worst. Regardless, I met Derek back in the 70’s at a Gentle Giant concert and he was one of the kindest and friendly people ever!!

Interesting to hear Derek and GG were one of the most original prog rock groups - but in reviewing this viseo I'm giving a thumbs down for the inane crap background track

Wow....I actually see The Bee Gees Mr Natural on vinyl in the background. They should have played that in the background instead of the slightly obnoxious stuff as loud as Derek speaking...... Yes, I love the Bee Gees and I LOVE Gentle Giant too! Wish I had seen this interview when it aired....but amazing that VH-1 would have had something like this on. Steven Wilson's remix of Freehand is sublime!!!! Long Live Gentle Giant!!!!!

Awfully intrusive background music. 👎🏻

Being a record exec takes time away from revisiting your former performer self.

"background"-music -> downvoted

Yes the music was annoying. (background) He seemed a bit uncomfortable. But it was good to hear from him.

Turn the fkn background music OFF.

The background music ruins this entire interview. What a bad decision that was.

Amazing talent

Says it all: ruclips.net/video/6gvtLa0R7kQ/видео.html - When Zappa thought GG was very interesting, believe me, they were pretty great!

Saw them 5 times. Still have my ticket stubs.

Derek looks like anything but a giant standing next to Eddie Trunk. Eddie must be a friggin giant like six three at least. EIther that or Derek is just a rather small guy.

I have heard nothing better in the last 45 years about composition and arangemons !!! absolutely awesome !!!

Honey I shrunk the giant.

Where's Derek's accent? He sounds American.

I'd like to watch that but not with that ridiculous noodling going on.

Sorry only lasted 3 minutes of this otherwise interesting interview. The music is annoying

Actually, GG opened for Yes, not vice versa

Oh please bring up that background music..it’s not frying my brain enough..had to to stop listening to the interview...I just couldn’t take it ..🥴

Such good music and only 1200 views? :(

I'm ❤ Gentle Giant

Я Фанат Gentle Giant

I kinda refuse to believe that they wrote all of Aquiring The Taste only by going into the studio with a click track. I mean that shouldn't be humanly possible, even for Gentle Giant's standard. Yes, while it isn't their most intricate and complicated work, it's still one of their best imo. That just blew me away...

I must admit that I wouldn't have thought that Eddie Trunk would know about Gentle Giant or like their music. And he asked reasonable questions. Nice job.
