Imagine how you’d feel if you left a band and then see them rocket I’d be gutted
I absolutely adore Scott What an awesome experience❤
I was at work a few days ago and someone played "got you where I want you" and I was like...wow! I loved that song haven't heard it or even thought about it for probably 20 years. And I was just thinking where did that song go? Where did that band go? I couldn't get the song out of my head for days. So I listened to it on RUclips and that then lead me down the rabbit hole of reading up on the Paskowitz. Very very interesting family. I'm glad to hear that for the most part they are over all doing well. Very cool interview.
Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
Really cool interview with interesting stories, used to listen to him on 98 Rock when he did nights.
Thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
@@BeingFamousPodcast-dx4ze You're welcome, I'm a bit of a radio nerd, I used to be an intern on the Bubba show years ago, and I can confirm Ricker's assessment of Bubba.
Nice, you were an intern when Bubba was on 98 Rock?
Nope, during the time when he was on the bone doing mornings, and when his satellite show was only once a week because of his contract.
Gotcha, cool. Used to listen to Bubba at nights on The Power Pig. Late 80’s early 90’s. Did you listen back then?
I was the original rower for sweaty pilgrim lol. We landed a rig in Boston and played at the Colony
I used to play the kazoo in elementary school lol
hi raj
Hi Brother I was Just talking to some people about how amazingly talented you are miss you
it's a trip raj how all these peoples comments state opinions like facts when only truely a handful of people know the truth… me and you probably having the most real account of those ealy days…you and me know the truth… raj was the 1st real drummer for billie&mike bands whatever they wanna call them… your a good man and thinking back you always were a good man… love you raj…:) ps…i am more your sister than brother nowadays…!@@rajpunjabi5059
He kinda reminds me of the Punk Rock Version Of Tommy Lee
He hasn't talked about the big shut-in dude who he used to tease every day, about his T. V. dinners and talking about how he was bringing some people to his house and almost there.
I miss the Ricker days, KISW
He wasnt the original drummer for green day, he played for billie and mike in sweet children, so he didnt need to be called that title
As an Indian, I'm confused by his name and his appearance. This guy is clearly White. So is Raj Punjabi a stage name or something? Surely that's not his real name right?
My Father is east Indian and my Mother is German Raj Kumar Punjabi is certainly my name
@@rajpunjabi5059 yo raj, did you used to have a pitbull named Murphy?
i thought he was indian based on his name. he looks like a mix of johnny rotten and mike
This interviewer doesn’t even fucking know the current drummer 😂 DO RESEARCH BEFORE INTERVIEWING. It’s literally half your job
Jesus I wish this interviewer came in with actual knowledge of the band. Show some respect to the person you’re interviewing and the audience
Hysterical. Didn’t realize I disrespected you and others. Thanks for watching!
@@BeingFamousPodcast-dx4ze just do some fucking research man. Don’t even know the current drummer? You make yourself look uneducated in front of the person you’re interviewing and the audience when you say stuff like that
I can’t believe how he downplays John and acts like he’s the real other drummer
Raj was never a drummer for Green Day. He played drums in Billie and Mike’s earlier bands before they were Green Day.
Sweet Children and Green Day are essentially the same band. The first EP by Sweet Children got re-released under the Green Day name in the first compilation album so drawing this line is absurd.
there is a big gap between Sweet Children's first show (october 87) and the last Raj show (october 88). I wish we could have the Raj's gigs with the band listed
This is some kind of interview I was missing. There is so much story in the very early green day days that are quite unknown. Thanks for the interview, watching it now.
Thanks so much for watching!
I'm pretty sure John Kiffmeyer was the original drummer.
he wasn't. Raj played with Sweet Children from october 17, 1987 to october 16, 1988
@@greendayplay Right. Sweet Children. He never played with Green Day but he wants you to think he did now. He played with them for a year as a teenager. They were a different band as kids
@@pacejunkieGreen Day and Sweet Children were and are the sane band.
I thought Raj was barely around as their drummer but he clearly feels he doesn’t get enough credit. Cool guy, imagine a decent interviewer who actually knew something about Green Day!
@jenlittle666 😂 what wasn’t known that should have been? Thanks for watching!
My mind is blown. I always thought he was a made up person or was Kiffmeyer’s fake name
Yeah I thought John was Raj Punjabi? Isn’t that a fake name?
Raj played drums for Sweet Children before John Kiffmeyer joined. John was the drummer when they became Green Day
Promo_SM 😁
That’s cool he was in the band at the beginning but John stepped in then tre’, and tre was the missing piece
Raj is a really cool dude, I definitely couldn’t picture Green Day without Tre Cool❤️ Also Green Day is bigger than U2.
Gret guy! U2 has sold around 175 million albums, compared to Green Day, which has sold around 75 million. I'd say U2 is the bigger and more prolific band. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@BeingFamousPodcast-dx4ze Green Day is definitely bigger, Dookie and American Idiot impacted the music more than anything U2 has done, The sales figure is very flawed and not updated, it has been stuck at 75 million since 2008 as far as i remember, Green Day has definitely sold at least 100 million and and while ofc U2 will have more sales because certainly 2 completely different genres their music is made for the mainstream while green day wasn't always a mainstream band and had alot of more darker,heavier songs in the past along with 2 independent records that was never released from major label...Sales has nothing to do with being bigger and prolific...Green Day can go anywhere in the world and fill up any stadium but i doubt U2 can....no any hate for U2, 80s U2 was amazing but sales don't make you better
If sales have nothing to do with "being bigger", then what is "bigger" even defined as? Also, I never said sales made U2 better. Even though, I do believe U2 to be the much better band, and more influential. Just my opinion. I would argue album sales, makes them "bigger." Currently, U2 has sold out their Las Vegas residency. I can't think of many "rock" bands today, that can sell out stadiums. I can only think of a few bands, U2, The Rolling Stones and maybe Coldplay. @@andriyyurchyna8195
@@andriyyurchyna8195 LOL no.
Green Day bigger than U2? great joke!! Dookie & American Idiot impacted the.... what?? 🤣 psuedo semi punk band from the 90's is bigger. you are dreaming. "Boy", "War", "The Joshua Tree", "Achtung Baby"... go watch the Red Rocks gig from 83 or U2 stealing the show from Queen in '85 at LIVE AID. you seriously have green blinkers on. U2 have been around since 1976 and still fill any stadium they choose. @@andriyyurchyna8195
Huh? John Kiffmeyer was Green Day's original drummer
nope john joined in 88 green day started in 87
They formed before 87, but only changed their name to Green Day in 87@@rohan750
Rajs was their drummer for a year, and have been playing with them before Sweet Children has even existed.
Loved the detail story Ricker told
Raj seems like a cool guy. Now I'm just trying to remember if they mentioned Raj in their Rock and Roll half of fame speech...
Not 100% certain, but I don't believe they did.
@@BeingFamousPodcast-dx4ze just checked again - they didn't. That's a bit of a shame, considering they mentioned Kiffmeyer
@@jayess8714Thanks for the insight! It is. Would have been nice if they showed Raj a little love.
@@jayess8714 Didn't Kiffmeyer play on their first album? That's probably why he got a mention.
@@Matt92MachineYep, that’s exactly why
Imagine doing an interview with a former member of Green Day and then being like “Tre Cool is the current drummer is that who that is?” This guy sucks at interviewing and doing research 😂
Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the reply!
dont agree. reckon this is a great interview
@@coldacreThank you!
Looks like dirnts brother
He does lmao
❤ Ricker people please MASS share he a great guy...
Cool interview, seems like a good guy
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch. Great dude and such a pleasure to chat with. Thanks for commenting and subscribing!
@@BeingFamousPodcast-dx4zefar beyond great dude. He stole from me and others for 100,000s of thousands of dollars
I actually got a slightly untrustworthy vibe from him. Seemed to big up his role in the band more than it really was. @@Aceace1991
haha what? tell us more@@Aceace1991
@@Aceace1991could you elaborate on that?
“Oh shit, that should’ve been me!” Oh shit, maybe should’ve showed up and put in the years of work. 🤡🤡

Bullshit!😂
Such a great interview. It's nice to see more information about John and what he does outside of the group. His music has brought me so much joy since I discovered them back in 2015 I think. I look forward to every new release and hopefully I'll see them on tour eventually.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
