Seen loads of bands live, and Manu is one of the drummers who stood out

Manu is one of my all-time favorite musicians. Just brilliant. Loved his use of splash cymbals.

Kids that's a Legend and a true artist. Thanks for the interview.

Thanks Mitch for this nice interview. Is Manu a rock or a jazz drummer ? To me, Manu is a MUSICAL drummer. I'm a good friend of him for more than 30 years, and sometimes he let me seat just close to his drum kit. And every time, it's a lesson of music that I learn... The grooves, the nuances , the colors of his playing... I'm not a drummer, I play bass, but I've learned a lot just seeing him play. His playing is beyond his instrument. Best wishes from Switzerland.

Manu may not think of himself as a jazz drummer, but he sure is to me - one of the best. Love his albums as a leader.

New Gabriel song is out. The drum snare sound is most epic snare sound I ever heard. Checked to see who it was. It's Manu and that's what brought me to this interview.

I will see and hear you in October! So glad to hear you will be touring with Peter Gabriel!

[@booshting3520]

I was lucky enough to see Manu play live with PG, such a musical player. One of my favourites. So glad he's playing with Peter again.

Manu paints with drums. Music his canvas. Always loved his playing from his earliest days with Gabriel.

Missing Peter and Manu in 2002 is my big concert regret too! So glad I'll have a chance to make it right :) Thank you for this!

Mitch, thanks for getting him to talk about the new album around 21:00. Very cool to hear a track title and vibe! I am pouncing on any and all new information about this album. It’s been such a long wait! Hope to hear and find out more soon!

Thank you!

Mitch, how could you not have seen Peter Gabriel live. He is truly amazing. You feel how much enjoyment the band gets from playing together. I want to go backstage and meet the band in Montreal.

[@gbernal73]

Thank you for this interview. You really need to make sure to see Peter live. I have seen him 6th times. Including his Rock and Roll Fame induction in NY.
