"This is the most punk rock thing we could do!" ... Yeah, nothing says Punk Rock like playing your most popular album all the way through on a 30th anniversary corporate Live Nation arena tour. So hardcore!
taskmaster65 Exactly. And with 4 brand new band members who've never played a note with TBC prior to a couple of months ago. And they call it a "reunion". And the only reason they're doing this now is b/c both of their other bands crapped out. CRB imploded and Magpie Salute was playing to about 80 people a night in clubs in 2018. Left them with no other option but to get back together and call it The Black Crowes.
And no MFF. This is just beyond sad and grotesque. Buy Gormans book, put on a show from 97 Europe tour and flip these two the bird. I would, however, pay out hardcore for a proper box set (ala the recent Ronnie Lane one). Not holding my breath though. Sucks when something you love dearly takes a dump all over you. Eff the brothers Robinson.
Despite fan judgment and the people that have decided not to go see the Shake Your Money Maker Tour-They Brought The House Down and have never been better!! Both of them were in their element and Chris channels that talent from another dimension! I’m so happy that I went to see them with the new members! They took us to church in a brand new way!! Outstanding!! If you miss it then you will miss something that is Sensational! ♥️♥️♥️
You obviously never saw them with Steve, Marc and Ed. This PALES in comparison and is nothing more than a money grab from the brothers. Glad you enjoyed it, though. That's what really counts.
The new shows erected fire! You can’t go comparing it to the past that was a different time but fact is these two are killing it on the new tour and if you’re a fan you will not be disappointed at all! They still got it 4 👍 sure
Just finished Steve Gorman's book. Crazy to think that Rich had the chance to write songs with Jimmy Page and have Page volunteer to produce an album and he says "no we're good".
I always liked rich . he was writing killer albums so he didn't need page . obviously cool to have Pagey offer...I saw tour when they were together doing the zep stuff. they sounded great..Chris was awesome doing the zep stuff
In the book he claims that Rich declined Page's offer to co-write songs and as such Page got pissed and left the tour prematurely. The problem with that is that there are numerous photos of Page backstage hugging and smiling with Rich at Crowes' shows beginning shortly after that Page/Crowes tour and continuing for years afterwards. And there are quotes from both Page and Rich after that tour (in Guitar Player Magazine) and they were praising each other. The only criticism Rich had of Page (again in Guitar Player Magazine) was that Page was barely playing on the Crowes songs during that tour. (Rich actually laughed about this though.) And that's a fact b/c I saw a few of those shows and Page sometimes didn't play a note during Crowes songs. It also doesn't make sense b/c Page has shown no inclination to write even a single song since Walking Into Clarksdale released in 1998. Page has denied Gorman's claims and so has Rich. Gorman has rightfully been pissed at Chris ever since Chris wanted to turn him into a salaried employee of TBC in 2013. Btw Rich was the person who defended Gorman's membership in TBC to Chris in 2013. And Rich asked Gorman to be in The Magpie Salute in 2016. Gorman declined b/c he didn't want to go out on long tours anymore (understandable). But Gorman let Rich use his radio tribute to Ed Harsch at the first Magpie Salute show in January 2017 in NYC. Gorman's problems with Rich came shortly thereafter when Gorman asked Rich to play at a charity show in Nashville in 2017. Rich accepted but then Rich cancelled at the very last minute. This apparently enraged Gorman. As such, Gorman is re-writing history w regard to Rich.
@@michaelfrazia4569 Gorman says in his book that Crowes career was alsmost dead when they had the chance to make those shows with Page. He revived their career
Who is the Black Crowes? Gorman? Ford? He wasn't the original guitarist. Hess? Rzab? Jackie Greene? Luther Dickinson? Adam Macdougal? Charles Brandt? Sven Pipien? I can keep going. First, if you haven't heard Isaiah Mitchell, you are missing out. He is a phenomenal guitarist...far better than Ford these days. Lefebvre has played with Trucks and is a monster. The other guys have played in some killer psych groups. I wouldn't complain so much.
@@christopherorman5769 😂 i guess they want to see an 18 man band....and some people act is if they want to see a version of the crowes without the robinsons 🤔😏
Too bad that these are all fluff interviews. They have been doing press for the last two weeks and I haven't seen anyone ask them about the absence of Marc Ford or Gorman.
Bottom line is... The Robinson Brothers have hired guns that are better than Gorman and just as good as Marc Ford. It is a shame the original band is not together, but Groman chose to burn his bridges and write a book. It'll be great to hear to me. I'd rather the whole band be together, but the hired guns will be great.
@@billyc7238 Just as good as Marc Ford?!!! Have you ever seen them live with Marc and then without him? I have. Jackie Greene and Luther Dickinson were both great but they are not Marc Ford. Gorman is a great drummer too this "hired gun" sounds way to stiff no swing. I agree Gorman burned his bridge and i'm not a huge fan of the book but Marc Ford's playing really took these guys to the next level musically.
I'm really tired of this "cash grab' thing and glad that Chris and Rich addressed it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting paid for doing what you do well! They should be getting paid!!! WTF, just working for free? Glad to see the brothers together, happy vibes I'm glad they got the money! I'm there for the show and it's gonna be a blast!
No you dummy's no one is saying ''free''. They used soulless hired guns instead of the people who made the band. So they could pay them less. It's called greed that hurts the music. As well as they are sh*ty control freak ego maniacs. The tour fizzled out so history agrees.
you mean the girlfriend he started banging when longtime Crowes poster artist Alan Forbes was going thru CANCER treatment? the girlfriend that was dating Alan at that time? while it *does* take "2 to tango", it truly showed to me what a piece of hot garbage Chris Robinson is, and why I'll never support another project of his again, in any shape, form or fashion. the new girlfriend made him realize that the ex-wife (CRB's former manager) can't TOUCH TBC monies. ergo this *FAKE* "reunion". the brothers reunited, but The Black Crowes are no more. #truestory
steve crashed his car into the dumpster. come on guys...give him a call. you were all brothers. steve was there from the start...it's not the same without him. i'm so happy to see brothers talking to each other again..that is far more important than business. please call steve.
@@musikhausortel8035 indeed. that seems unlikely at this point, but it appears they never even reached out to him. maybe there is just too much bad blood..and that's too bad. friendships of well over 30 years being destroyed by money and business is really a tragedy. i hope someday they will all come to their senses and be friends again.
It’s cool they are back talking to each other, there is much we won’t be told, loved the band big time when they were originally working, is focussing on the first album and not for instance writing a new one the right way forward...Well, that’s what we have got and it’s a start.. There are some legendary tunes in their repertoire.
For those bitching about the rest of the line-up - Audley Freed is busy, Johnny Colt hasn't played with them in forever, Marc would probably decline on religious reasons, and Eddie is dead. Plus, no one said Steve Gorman wouldn't eventually join them anyway so stop complaining and enjoy what we get ya heathens!
doubt thats true of marc ford. he was playing with rich. anyways too late now. 92-97 and 2005-06 awesome years. some post 06 was great and the shows with jimmy were solid. i went and saw them but not the same
I don't care about the other members as long as it's Chris and Rich ...they are The Black Crowes anyway. The other guitar player they got now plays great and the rest of the band they have now sounds really really good. The drummer has a great feel. I'm impressed. I also felt some emotion from them when they played on the Howard Stern show. That's what it's all about.
To all those asking where the band is, well there's only one member who was there from the beginning other than the brothers and Steve has no more interest than they do, Ed has passed so who's left? This band has always been a revolving door.
It's good for them that they're getting along again but what a shame to come back this way. The gigs won't be "Black Crowes" gigs - a strict set list, no jamming, no former members, in big soulless sheds, & playing an entire album that's nowhere near their best. Double shame because the two Magpie Salute albums are superb...
I made the mistake of becoming a Magpie Salute fan. Hard not to feel betrayed by the grab for the money that's so obvious here. Guess Rich couldn't afford to keep it real.
Exactly how I feel. The Magpie Salute just came out with High Water II. When they said no about their solo projects, I guess that means no more Magpie Salute?
John Boyt I loved TMS but it was obvious a year ago that TMS simply wasn’t drawing enough fans for the band to continue on. There were several TMS shows with less than a hundred people in attendance. Rich was bankrolling the operation. So there was no future for them.
@@IvanLendl87 Given the way the Black Crows got started, they never had to figure out how to "make it" - not like I know, but it's clear that the old school 'tour' is giving way to developing geographical bases and doing multi night gigs in those places. Bands like Tadeschi Trucks, Brandi Carlisle, or The Hold Steady have done it quite successfully. Rich tried to launch TMS but had no geographic base that it came out of. Again, I'm no expert, but I don't think it works that way anymore, and Rich proved that you can't buy success with a couple of general tours (really only one). TMS's appreciation for rock with integrity, and their willingness to take musical risks live, I'd like to believe, would have gotten them somewhere, but nobody's in their 20s anymore, and you can't build that and be a dad too. Again, that's why the approach where bands build up geographic bases is better for everyone fans and musicians.
Absolutely money is a huge factor in this decision. But I would also point out this is probably the best music these guys have ever been associated with, and that’s the music we all love them for, so hell yeah! Go for it! Just watched them playing the show last night in Woodinville Washington, Enjoyed seeing them play Shake your money maker right in front of me!
At the time Shake your money maker was New fresh and different from bands at the time! Punk No! Great Vibe brought back good Ole school Blues & Rock n Roll! Great music! Thank Guys! Please Keep Rocking Together! To me shake your money maker will Always be One of the Best all time Rock n Roll Records of All Time!
Nice to see the Robinson bros together again, but I miss Eddie Harsh, Steve Gorman, Johnny Colt... all the crowes... no disrespect to the new members intended.
Ed Hirsch passed away several years ago and in the brothers we have family members were from Marietta Georgia originally and Chris and rich they cost so much problems back in the day in Marietta was unbelievable drove their parents crazy my I have 4th cousins that are related to them... when we were children we all play together Rich almost got my third cousin Jacqueline pregnant they were both 16 there's a photo of them so stoned and high on pot that rich took an ink pen and wrote the area code of Marietta Georgia on his forearm and hers my uncle has the picture it's in black-and-white richly look still looks hot as ever do not spend any money this is a sham these boys came from modest upbringing that poverty but close to poverty and now look at this ....a sham ...Chris and Rich offered us POT WHEN WE WERE 13 YRS OF AGE.... they you know what I'm saying this is ridiculous they need to go help the i homeless back in Georgia and everywhere else for crying out loud they don't even bother to give us a call you know when we need them and stuff like that....do yourself a favor spend your money on your family and on your parents and help the other people out don't waste money on these tickets are overpriced and everything else it's ridiculous this this is such a sham it's unreal what an interview in the interviewer she if she has a foul nasty mouth what a w**** for crying out loud the rich even looks like he wants to get out of there......and there has always been talk amongst the family and I've seen other comments also on RUclips that rich as you know he's in the autistic well the Asperger's spectrum
I've seen Chris... I've seen Rich.... I've seen Ford... I've seen Gorman.... I've seen Luther and Jackie...Also, I've seen the Crowes....I admit they're all better together, but I'll take them any way I can get them. Especially when some of them are playing together. Nuff said... I'll enjoy it... y'all can suck it!
I love the Black Crowes. Rich is one of my guitar idols. Imagine what awesome music they could have made …or is it the candle that burns the brightest?
All these people commenting on "original band"....It's Chris' and Rich's band. Members have come and gone over the years. It's their fucking band. I saw these guys in club before MM. Month later playing with Plant. Seen them at least 15 times. Glad the brothers are doing it again.
Ultimately, it’s their music to do with it what they wish. And you can choose to buy a ticket or not. But I did buy a ticket because I want to celebrate their efforts along with them. This is just another step in their long career and I’m betting this leads to more Black Crowes albums and tours. And hopefully, the other former band members hop on for the ride in the future. We’ve all been waiting for this so why knock it because it doesn’t look like what you wanted it to be? It’s not your call. It’s the Black Crowe’s call...
@@MichaelKeelphotography greetings from Arkansas my family and I grew up the same Town Marietta Georgia I have 3rd cousins that new the family in the brothers very well they're they're my age were all in our fifties now..... This is a sham do not waste your money where's the?!

they have plenty of money, is it really not the black crowes? their music is guitar and voice driven. blues singing is hard - the guitar is renown - u can plug any bassist and drummer who knows rock n roll and they will be a star. the guitar sounds better than it ever has - they found great equipment - hard to handle on stern with this crew is best version i heard
It was perfection. I'm nearly 59. I've always loved your music but the renewal I have stumbled on by simply listening on utube boarders obsession! Living so rural I struggle getting a good feed of data. Your videos are the best, moves are perfect in their tempering of extreme and the balance of guitar player and vocals. I find comfort in hearing it. And even more in watching it. I'm growing into your new look and sounds. A dedicated rocker lost in rock n roll appreciates you. Peace. T.lou.
No Gorman = No Crowes Call it the Robinson brothers and stop insulting life long fans I have a theory on Rich being the quiet one. He’s not actually quiet - he’s just rendered speechless by Chris’s bull shit 😂
they are awesome. Right up there with the greats Zeppy, Allmans, Stones. Of course, they should've twisted Gorman's arm to play. As w/o a solid rhythm section any music can be flat. But pumped to see them again.
The authenticity of this band will never be or ever reach its full potential without the original members of the band. Although Ed is gone and that can't be helped, but can get everyone else possibly. I know Steve has his own thing going and it's not bad, but his best card is the Black Crowes as well and he belongs there as much as anyone else since he was part of the beginning. If it's about money with the Robinson brothers, well I wouldn't expect their ticket and album sales to go as well. There's a lot of die hard fans that may not go because of the lack of its originality. It's just not the same without the certain key folks at the helm.
This is gonna be one of the best tours in rock nn roll history and I am over the moon excited to hear the Crowes live and if they create more new music I am sure it will be magnificent.Thank god the brothers have squashed their beef.
Such a weak overused explanation of this. The band has had several guitarists and bassists over the years. Gorman will be missed, but don’t act like there was a consistent lineup over the years. I’ll be there enjoying some great songs next summer!
I love black crowes and I think that's just the Robinson brother with a new lineup but Steve Gorman with Trigger hippy is just the best album of the year for me and I hope rich play also with magpie salute
i love the Black Crowes i don´t care if the starting point is about money i hope years of touring the world (don´t forget holland belgium germany ) and mayby a kickass album or 2 DAMNIT let it be
and BTW the Crowes don´t play arena´s they play mostly for a couple of thousend people so if they want to make some money for the family fuck it man let them let it be
This is like Skynyrd after the plane crash only with out a plane crash. They will get some "fans" out to their shows but the real fans and followers of the band won't take part in this sham. I had hoped they would get back together but not like this, it makes me sad.
No it's not. LMFAO. These are the main songwriters that wrote, played, and sang everything. Original singer creator, original guitar player writer. Do you realize how many band members changed through the years in the Black Crowes? Them two being the only main songwriters through the whole thing since the beginning.
Yup I absolutely do know the history of the band. Yeah yeah I know know I was a bit over the top with my previous comment but it's just never going to be right without Steve Gorman. They did him wrong.
@@MichaelKeelphotography meh, still feels a bit like a half assed reunion from where I sit. I'm just glad they've always been taper friendly. I assume that will continue and if I hear magic in those upcoming tapes I might go. We shall see...
Rich and Chris are back together playing Crowes' songs. Nothing else matters and everyone just needs to shut the fuck up and listen before someone relapses and dies.
The fringe fans are loving it and the hardcore fans hate it and feel betrayed. Good luck fellas...the past 30 years have been great but I'm out. Enjoy the cash grab now because you'll never get money from a lot of your hardcore fan base again.
Heath Fry It began with the Robinson brothers, so it shall end with the Robinson brothers. Blood over water. That being said, if the brothers are truly getting along, and its genuine, the rest will come sniffing around sooner or later, it is a Crowes instinct to do so.
Well I’d say TBC needs Marc and Marc needs TBC. He’s at his best w TBC. I dig some of his solo material but at the end of the day he’s not really much of a singer or frontman so his solo career hasn’t had much commercial success even at the club level. And TBC has never had a lead guitarist as great as him since. He’s the lead guitarist on their best 3 albums - SH&MC, Amorica and TS&OC. No other lead guitarist can match his playing on those albums.
Disappointed. I realize bands change but to not have Gorman is a shame. Not a reunion at all. Rich says family is important but then agrees to go on tour without founding member and after Chris took the majority shares. Pathetic.
Please read Steve Gormans excellent biography about his time with the Black Crowes,and read what these 2 are really like.This is not a Black Crowes reunion
Chris: you know…. Kinda… you know…. Uhhh…..Well……Yeah…..you know….. yeah…… ummm…..well ……you know….. (Never finishes a single sentence). Rich: (stares at the ground looking miserable)
This is cool, Ill go see it. The hired guns will be great. Yeah, I'd like to see the original line up, but its too much, too many bridges burned. Don't think too hard about this people, if you like Shake Your Money Maker, then just go see it and have a good time. I'm reading Steve Gormans book and yeah these two are flawed, but so is Steve admittedly and so are all of us. Just enjoy it.
I’ve been a long time fan of the B/C for years, and with that being sad, I can buy tickets at a reasonable price for touring acts like Blackberry Smoke , Rival Sons , The Temperance Movement and many others and still get ROCKED ! Drop the ticket price please ! LOL
INTERFERENCE Band It was pretty apparent that Chris was always a total dick. I read the book and enjoyed it but I also take it with a grain of salt. Why? Because you're only getting Steve's version of the story. I've been hardcore into TBC since SYMM was released. I've known a couple of people who worked tours for TBC. They always said Gorman was as much of a dick as Chris. They also said Gorman & Chris treated Rich like shit b/c Rich never participated in the booze & weed thing with everybody else. I also recall TBC's manager, Pete Angelus, stating on VH-1 that Steve Gorman was really a "Robinson" in every way but the name. But Gorman doesn't point the finger at himself in that book. After TBC broke up in 2013, Gorman publicly aligned himself with Rich. And they were on good terms. Proof of that is when Rich started up The Magpie Salute he asked Gorman to be the drummer. Things got cross-ways b/w them when Steve invited Rich (and Sven Pipien) to an event in Nashville and a Rich failed to show up. Gorman was furious that Rich didn't show or call. So then he wrote the book.
I loved the Crowes I very seen them I think 4 times. I still remember the 1st show, Wow could they perform. I dont want to read the book. I'm not going to see them. It's not a reunion. I'm glad they apparently made up for the moment anyhow, but without the other original members, not interested. Plus it sounds kind of boring if they are just playing 1st album cover to cover. Woopty doo.
Marcy, I know you remember when we spoke on the phone. And I asked you when was Josie coming back? And you told me how this Friday full metal Jackie would be filling in for him, but that everything was fine and he would be back soon. Now that was a while ago. Can you please let us know what is going on. And when will he be coming back. I’ll try calling you so when I do you’ll least have an answer prepared for all of us. Thank you so much. And bring back Steve Jones!!! DAMM IT!! Like If You Agree!!! A TRUE MENTOR
Jonesy was the best thing on the radio. I miss that show badly and need it everyday. He was the coolest. Did he not want to do it anymore? What happened?
I don't even recall if I have ever commented on a video but certainly haven't recently. I'm making a rare exception here. I felt compelled after reading what people had to say on this thread and elsewhere. Granted these reunion interviews are canned, promotional garbage. Ask yourself, however....How many times could YOU answer the same inane questions and still come up with thoughtful and sincere answers ? To say Chris sounds like an idiot is absurd ! He's an extremely articulate, unique, opinionated and nearly endlessly creative individual. Never mind that the time I met him after a CRB show that he was obliterated. The performance was simply superb and at times even transcendent. Rich is just introverted and obviously more inclined to be contemplative but to keep much of his musings to himself. Have none of us never known 2 brothers who were polar opposites ? Besides there is always a "mouth piece" and that's typically the front man of nearly any rock band. Regarding the "cash grab"....Who are any of us to judge ? It's their music, their legacy, etc. to do with as they choose. Should they have put together a more "legit" line-up including important past contributors and collaborators ? In my humble opinion...ABSOLUTELY but it's hardly my call is it ? No doubt those other guys deserve better but they were fortunate to have the time they did in the Crowes in retrospect. Besides how do you even choose from those guys ? They were all killer players ! Everyone is, of course, entitled to their own subjective opinion (including Steve Gorman who merely called it as HE saw it from his perspective as the 3rd longest serving member of that group which I think legitimizes his book) but shouldn't we stop blubbering about their decision ? History shows us that they'll likely fall out again anyway and a few years later pull this same stunt ! As Chris says, it's more significant that these two men are repairing their familial bonds through the magnificence of their body of work. That's fantastic ! Let them enjoy it while and IF it lasts. Are we not true fans ? P.S. Anyone who thinks Chris is artistically spent and a dumb stoner, listen to everything he's done in his solo career lyrically and otherwise. Sure he IS perpetually high but he delivers not just consistently but literally going from strength to strength. Hey...Just my 2 cents. P.P.S. After the tragic death of Neal, what was Chris Supposed to do ? Try to find a REPLACEMENT ?!? Utterly Ridiculous. There isn't one...anywhere...ever. What they brought to life together, to my ears is unmatched and otherworldly.
that story is a 100% manufactured lie, going back to Jimmy's days with The Firm. he's ALWAYS had "this bag of riffs" in the can. but Paul Rodgers didn't hear them. his solo album ('88) didn't reveal them. David Coverdale didn't coax any of them out of James save for one ("Shake My Tree", self-titled '94 effort). the Page/Plant collab yielded hand-in-warm-water tunes, but no ROCK. so then Jimmy played with the Crowes, and "Rich turned down Jimmy's offer"? THERE WAS NO OFFER. it's 110% revisionist history, ***in order for Gorman to sell his book***, as Jimmy Page getting turned down is a GREAT 'sales soundbite'. buy into the b.s. if you want, but it's not true. at all.
@@stevehagar2107 How the fuck do you know it was manufactured? I guess you know Jimmy personally, right? Also, why would he just walk off the tour he was having so much fun on if he didn't feel respected by Rich? If it wasn't for Jimmy Page, the BC would have never had a second chance, they were fucking done.
@@ParadoxapocalypSatan He offered to help them. It had nothing to do about a few old "stolen tunes." People like you act like Zeppelin made a career off other people's songs.
"This is the most punk rock thing we could do!" ... Yeah, nothing says Punk Rock like playing your most popular album all the way through on a 30th anniversary corporate Live Nation arena tour. So hardcore!
taskmaster65 Exactly. And with 4 brand new band members who've never played a note with TBC prior to a couple of months ago. And they call it a "reunion". And the only reason they're doing this now is b/c both of their other bands crapped out. CRB imploded and Magpie Salute was playing to about 80 people a night in clubs in 2018. Left them with no other option but to get back together and call it The Black Crowes.
And charge $100-$300 a ticket
and without the drummer who has been there since day one.
JeremyDRUMS Yep. I’ve said it elsewhere, but it’s the Robinson Brothers Band without Gorman. I’ll pass.
And no MFF. This is just beyond sad and grotesque. Buy Gormans book, put on a show from 97 Europe tour and flip these two the bird.
I would, however, pay out hardcore for a proper box set (ala the recent Ronnie Lane one). Not holding my breath though. Sucks when something you love dearly takes a dump all over you. Eff the brothers Robinson.
chris and rich are great songwriters and that's that.
When two brothers are together, it's hard to call it a reunion. There were three other guys on that album.
But I'm glad these two guys are making music together. It's needed in the world. I remember when they were kids hanging out at the Dugout.
But there might be a need for a refresher course on what's "punk rock" and what's not.
True but they were session musicians. They are not listed as songwriters.
Despite fan judgment and the people that have decided not to go see the Shake Your Money Maker Tour-They Brought The House Down and have never been better!! Both of them were in their element and Chris channels that talent from another dimension! I’m so happy that I went to see them with the new members! They took us to church in a brand new way!! Outstanding!! If you miss it then you will miss something that is Sensational! ♥️♥️♥️
You obviously never saw them with Steve, Marc and Ed. This PALES in comparison and is nothing more than a money grab from the brothers. Glad you enjoyed it, though. That's what really counts.
Okd bros settle their trouble thats family
The new shows erected fire! You can’t go comparing it to the past that was a different time but fact is these two are killing it on the new tour and if you’re a fan you will not be disappointed at all! They still got it 4 👍 sure
"Never been better?" LMFAO. You were not on tour with them in 1995, obviously.
Just finished Steve Gorman's book. Crazy to think that Rich had the chance to write songs with Jimmy Page and have Page volunteer to produce an album and he says "no we're good".
I always liked rich . he was writing killer albums so he didn't need page . obviously cool to have Pagey offer...I saw tour when they were together doing the zep stuff. they sounded great..Chris was awesome doing the zep stuff
In the book he claims that Rich declined Page's offer to co-write songs and as such Page got pissed and left the tour prematurely. The problem with that is that there are numerous photos of Page backstage hugging and smiling with Rich at Crowes' shows beginning shortly after that Page/Crowes tour and continuing for years afterwards. And there are quotes from both Page and Rich after that tour (in Guitar Player Magazine) and they were praising each other. The only criticism Rich had of Page (again in Guitar Player Magazine) was that Page was barely playing on the Crowes songs during that tour. (Rich actually laughed about this though.) And that's a fact b/c I saw a few of those shows and Page sometimes didn't play a note during Crowes songs. It also doesn't make sense b/c Page has shown no inclination to write even a single song since Walking Into Clarksdale released in 1998. Page has denied Gorman's claims and so has Rich.
Gorman has rightfully been pissed at Chris ever since Chris wanted to turn him into a salaried employee of TBC in 2013. Btw Rich was the person who defended Gorman's membership in TBC to Chris in 2013. And Rich asked Gorman to be in The Magpie Salute in 2016. Gorman declined b/c he didn't want to go out on long tours anymore (understandable). But Gorman let Rich use his radio tribute to Ed Harsch at the first Magpie Salute show in January 2017 in NYC. Gorman's problems with Rich came shortly thereafter when Gorman asked Rich to play at a charity show in Nashville in 2017. Rich accepted but then Rich cancelled at the very last minute. This apparently enraged Gorman. As such, Gorman is re-writing history w regard to Rich.
@@michaelfrazia4569 He didn't need Page to write a dud like Lions. yeah, we know
@@stephanea5364 I love page..he wrote absolute shit too at times..the first several crowes albums were great...page or no page
@@michaelfrazia4569 Gorman says in his book that Crowes career was alsmost dead when they had the chance to make those shows with Page. He revived their career
Where??? I don’t see the Black Crowes, I only see the Robinson Brothers.
Agree, but I'm sure they will join for the tour
Steve Gorman has said he will not be back. He was forced out by Chris. So no, this is not a reunion.
Oh that's sad
Who is the Black Crowes? Gorman? Ford? He wasn't the original guitarist. Hess? Rzab? Jackie Greene? Luther Dickinson? Adam Macdougal? Charles Brandt? Sven Pipien? I can keep going. First, if you haven't heard Isaiah Mitchell, you are missing out. He is a phenomenal guitarist...far better than Ford these days. Lefebvre has played with Trucks and is a monster. The other guys have played in some killer psych groups. I wouldn't complain so much.
@@christopherorman5769 😂 i guess they want to see an 18 man band....and some people act is if they want to see a version of the crowes without the robinsons 🤔😏
Rich looks like a hostage looking for an escape route!
so true
That's a fax Jack!
He shy and just wanted to play!
He always has !!!
Too bad that these are all fluff interviews. They have been doing press for the last two weeks and I haven't seen anyone ask them about the absence of Marc Ford or Gorman.
Nail on the head. Guess what, ? The tour has since been cancelled. Go figure.
@@iamthehighway2139 - I'm not seeing that the tour was cancelled. What's your source?
Bottom line is... The Robinson Brothers have hired guns that are better than Gorman and just as good as Marc Ford. It is a shame the original band is not together, but Groman chose to burn his bridges and write a book. It'll be great to hear to me. I'd rather the whole band be together, but the hired guns will be great.
@@billyc7238 Just as good as Marc Ford?!!! Have you ever seen them live with Marc and then without him? I have. Jackie Greene and Luther Dickinson were both great but they are not Marc Ford. Gorman is a great drummer too this "hired gun" sounds way to stiff no swing. I agree Gorman burned his bridge and i'm not a huge fan of the book but Marc Ford's playing really took these guys to the next level musically.
Facts
I'm really tired of this "cash grab' thing and glad that Chris and Rich addressed it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting paid for doing what you do well! They should be getting paid!!! WTF, just working for free? Glad to see the brothers together, happy vibes I'm glad they got the money! I'm there for the show and it's gonna be a blast!
Indeed.
Exactly..Hopefully they will come to the UK
Plus any concert is a cash grab unless it's free.
No you dummy's no one is saying ''free''. They used soulless hired guns instead of the people who made the band. So they could pay them less. It's called greed that hurts the music. As well as they are sh*ty control freak ego maniacs. The tour fizzled out so history agrees.
Huge kudos to Chris new girlfriend who made him realize his brother is more important than his ego!
Thank you, CAMILLE JOHNSON!
Not to mention money....
*than
I guess she made him realise he needed to make some more money.
you mean the girlfriend he started banging when longtime Crowes poster artist Alan Forbes was going thru CANCER treatment? the girlfriend that was dating Alan at that time? while it *does* take "2 to tango", it truly showed to me what a piece of hot garbage Chris Robinson is, and why I'll never support another project of his again, in any shape, form or fashion. the new girlfriend made him realize that the ex-wife (CRB's former manager) can't TOUCH TBC monies. ergo this *FAKE* "reunion". the brothers reunited, but The Black Crowes are no more. #truestory
Good to see them back, I hope they do well.
steve crashed his car into the dumpster. come on guys...give him a call. you were all brothers. steve was there from the start...it's not the same without him. i'm so happy to see brothers talking to each other again..that is far more important than business. please call steve.
I don´t think he would play with them. On the other hand, I never thought Chris and Rich would ever get together again...
@@musikhausortel8035 indeed. that seems unlikely at this point, but it appears they never even reached out to him. maybe there is just too much bad blood..and that's too bad. friendships of well over 30 years being destroyed by money and business is really a tragedy. i hope someday they will all come to their senses and be friends again.
Well, he talked shit of them in his book, so I wouldn't expect that call anytime soon...
@@MrBluesboy21 True. But if that "shit" is aktually true he has every right to be upset.
@@MrBluesboy21 He's already said he would never be in a room with Chris again.
ITS THE CHRIS AND RICH REUNION NO BLACK CROWS SHOW
And? They were the BCs.
It’s cool they are back talking to each other, there is much we won’t be told, loved the band big time when they were originally working, is focussing on the first album and not for instance writing a new one the right way forward...Well, that’s what we have got and it’s a start.. There are some legendary tunes in their repertoire.
I hope to see them. One of my favorite bands.
For those bitching about the rest of the line-up - Audley Freed is busy, Johnny Colt hasn't played with them in forever, Marc would probably decline on religious reasons, and Eddie is dead. Plus, no one said Steve Gorman wouldn't eventually join them anyway so stop complaining and enjoy what we get ya heathens!
doubt thats true of marc ford. he was playing with rich. anyways too late now. 92-97 and 2005-06 awesome years. some post 06 was great and the shows with jimmy were solid.
i went and saw them but not the same
the brothers and a back-up band
I don't care about the other members as long as it's Chris and Rich ...they are The Black Crowes anyway. The other guitar player they got now plays great and the rest of the band they have now sounds really really good. The drummer has a great feel. I'm impressed. I also felt some emotion from them when they played on the Howard Stern show. That's what it's all about.
To all those asking where the band is, well there's only one member who was there from the beginning other than the brothers and Steve has no more interest than they do, Ed has passed so who's left? This band has always been a revolving door.
It's good for them that they're getting along again but what a shame to come back this way. The gigs won't be "Black Crowes" gigs - a strict set list, no jamming, no former members, in big soulless sheds, & playing an entire album that's nowhere near their best. Double shame because the two Magpie Salute albums are superb...
I made the mistake of becoming a Magpie Salute fan. Hard not to feel betrayed by the grab for the money that's so obvious here. Guess Rich couldn't afford to keep it real.
Exactly how I feel. The Magpie Salute just came out with High Water II. When they said no about their solo projects, I guess that means no more Magpie Salute?
John Boyt I loved TMS but it was obvious a year ago that TMS simply wasn’t drawing enough fans for the band to continue on. There were several TMS shows with less than a hundred people in attendance. Rich was bankrolling the operation. So there was no future for them.
This is really surreal..I agree. Always knew CR was a tool but Rich being revealed as a phony, insincere POS has been surprising to say the least.
@@IvanLendl87 Given the way the Black Crows got started, they never had to figure out how to "make it" - not like I know, but it's clear that the old school 'tour' is giving way to developing geographical bases and doing multi night gigs in those places. Bands like Tadeschi Trucks, Brandi Carlisle, or The Hold Steady have done it quite successfully. Rich tried to launch TMS but had no geographic base that it came out of. Again, I'm no expert, but I don't think it works that way anymore, and Rich proved that you can't buy success with a couple of general tours (really only one). TMS's appreciation for rock with integrity, and their willingness to take musical risks live, I'd like to believe, would have gotten them somewhere, but nobody's in their 20s anymore, and you can't build that and be a dad too. Again, that's why the approach where bands build up geographic bases is better for everyone fans and musicians.
Wow! You realise it's the music "business" right? Some of the comments on this have been pretty disgusting, but I guess that's the world now.
I used to love Black Crowes but after what I have heard about Chris, I don't know any longer.
Like what?
It is hard to separate the music from the peoples when you find out how horrible they can be.
MONEY GRAB!!! This is NOT The Black Crowes!!
DEETZ Where is Steve Gorman?
OK Boomer
druwk Steve is alive and well living in Nashville and enjoying life without these guys and that band.
You're right it would be cool to have the rest of the band besides ed because he passed away unfortunately
As long as the brother’s are playing together again, we should be happy.
Glad the bros worked it out.
The question is, for how long? I'm betting less than two years.
Pretty sure I’ve read it that the band became the Black Crowes when Steve Gorman joined the group. He provided the sound they were trying to find.
You can,t tell me ,That it wasn’t money that made these guys reconcile.What ever the case,I,m happy and they’ll be happy they did.Great band.
Absolutely money is a huge factor in this decision. But I would also point out this is probably the best music these guys have ever been associated with, and that’s the music we all love them for, so hell yeah! Go for it! Just watched them playing the show last night in Woodinville Washington, Enjoyed seeing them play Shake your money maker right in front of me!
At the time Shake your money maker was New fresh and different from bands at the time! Punk No! Great Vibe brought back good Ole school Blues & Rock n Roll! Great music! Thank Guys! Please Keep Rocking Together! To me shake your money maker will Always be One of the Best all time Rock n Roll Records of All Time!
I’d love a more traditional reunion as anyone else but I’m glad that the brothers are back together.
I don't think Rich has genuinely smiled since 1990.
I miss Steve Jones 😭
The guy from the Sex Pistols? Explain...
@@TheFlite29 He use to host his own show on KLOS.. Great show..

Interviewer: What brought you to this point
Robinsons: Uummm. Bills. Bills brought us to this point.
Nice to see the Robinson bros together again, but I miss Eddie Harsh, Steve Gorman, Johnny Colt... all the crowes... no disrespect to the new members intended.
Agreed
Tiago Assis Marc Ford too
Ed is Dead.
@@OldRunt that's why I miss him...
Ed Hirsch passed away several years ago and in the brothers we have family members were from Marietta Georgia originally and Chris and rich they cost so much problems back in the day in Marietta was unbelievable drove their parents crazy my I have 4th cousins that are related to them... when we were children we all play together Rich almost got my third cousin Jacqueline pregnant they were both 16 there's a photo of them so stoned and high on pot that rich took an ink pen and wrote the area code of Marietta Georgia on his forearm and hers my uncle has the picture it's in black-and-white richly look still looks hot as ever do not spend any money this is a sham these boys came from modest upbringing that poverty but close to poverty and now look at this ....a sham ...Chris and Rich offered us POT WHEN WE WERE 13 YRS OF AGE.... they you know what I'm saying this is ridiculous they need to go help the i homeless back in Georgia and everywhere else for crying out loud they don't even bother to give us a call you know when we need them and stuff like that....do yourself a favor spend your money on your family and on your parents and help the other people out don't waste money on these tickets are overpriced and everything else it's ridiculous this this is such a sham it's unreal what an interview in the interviewer she if she has a foul nasty mouth what a w**** for crying out loud the rich even looks like he wants to get out of there......and there has always been talk amongst the family and I've seen other comments also on RUclips that rich as you know he's in the autistic well the Asperger's spectrum
I've seen Chris... I've seen Rich.... I've seen Ford... I've seen Gorman.... I've seen Luther and Jackie...Also, I've seen the Crowes....I admit they're all better together, but I'll take them any way I can get them. Especially when some of them are playing together. Nuff said... I'll enjoy it... y'all can suck it!
Bring Back Jonesey's Jukebox sooner than later
Steve has had heart surgery.
Try to get the Whole Band back together now! Now That would be Great!
I don't think any of them would care to play with these two ever again. Rich probably is as well but Chris is a massive POS.
I love the Black Crowes. Rich is one of my guitar idols. Imagine what awesome music they could have made …or is it the candle that burns the brightest?
All these people commenting on "original band"....It's Chris' and Rich's band. Members have come and gone over the years. It's their fucking band. I saw these guys in club before MM. Month later playing with Plant. Seen them at least 15 times. Glad the brothers are doing it again.
Ultimately, it’s their music to do with it what they wish. And you can choose to buy a ticket or not. But I did buy a ticket because I want to celebrate their efforts along with them. This is just another step in their long career and I’m betting this leads to more Black Crowes albums and tours. And hopefully, the other former band members hop on for the ride in the future. We’ve all been waiting for this so why knock it because it doesn’t look like what you wanted it to be? It’s not your call. It’s the Black Crowe’s call...
Just read Gorman’s book....nothing genuine about this sham
That's nice.
@@MichaelKeelphotography greetings from Arkansas my family and I grew up the same Town Marietta Georgia I have 3rd cousins that new the family in the brothers very well they're they're my age were all in our fifties now..... This is a sham do not waste your money where's the?! Is there all still angry at Chris I'm guessing.....Mark Ford and his wife are Christians now they sing at a church in California where he's from The Mark is just a year younger than I am same age is Chris Rich was born in 1969 almost got my third cousin Jacqueline pregnant when they were both 16 years of age there's a photo of them..so stoned and high on pot that rich took a pen and wrote the area code of Marietta Georgia on her forearm and on his forearm Monica has the photo it's epic....

they have plenty of money, is it really not the black crowes? their music is guitar and voice driven. blues singing is hard - the guitar is renown - u can plug any bassist and drummer who knows rock n roll and they will be a star. the guitar sounds better than it ever has - they found great equipment - hard to handle on stern with this crew is best version i heard
It was perfection. I'm nearly 59. I've always loved your music but the renewal I have stumbled on by simply listening on utube boarders obsession! Living so rural I struggle getting a good feed of data. Your videos are the best, moves are perfect in their tempering of extreme and the balance of guitar player and vocals. I find comfort in hearing it. And even more in watching it. I'm growing into your new look and sounds. A dedicated rocker lost in rock n roll appreciates you. Peace. T.lou.
No Gorman = No Crowes
Call it the Robinson brothers and stop insulting life long fans
I have a theory on Rich being the quiet one. He’s not actually quiet - he’s just rendered speechless by Chris’s bull shit 😂
they are awesome. Right up there with the greats Zeppy, Allmans, Stones. Of course, they should've twisted Gorman's arm to play. As w/o a solid rhythm section any music can be flat. But pumped to see them again.
They could have been lumped in with those groups, but they fucked it up. Mostly the two assholes in this interview.
MARC FORD IS THE CROWS
I love them so much 💙🖤 so happy to see them together again.
im obsessed w the body language here..
Notice how every time Chris looks at Rich he looks at the ground?
The authenticity of this band will never be or ever reach its full potential without the original members of the band. Although Ed is gone and that can't be helped, but can get everyone else possibly. I know Steve has his own thing going and it's not bad, but his best card is the Black Crowes as well and he belongs there as much as anyone else since he was part of the beginning. If it's about money with the Robinson brothers, well I wouldn't expect their ticket and album sales to go as well. There's a lot of die hard fans that may not go because of the lack of its originality. It's just not the same without the certain key folks at the helm.
This is gonna be one of the best tours in rock nn roll history and I am over the moon excited to hear the Crowes live and if they create more new music I am sure it will be magnificent.Thank god the brothers have squashed their beef.
Pathetic cash grab..where’s the band? Rich just doesnt want to be there
In his defence, he looks like that in every episode - since day 1.
Spot on. Need to top up bank accounts
Such a weak overused explanation of this. The band has had several guitarists and bassists over the years. Gorman will be missed, but don’t act like there was a consistent lineup over the years. I’ll be there enjoying some great songs next summer!
You Joker
If you were in your 50's, given the chance, you'd be doing the same thing.
Make it while you can.
@@timothya.olmeda7299 Exactly! he should be getting paid for what they do well, just like everybody else!
I love black crowes and I think that's just the Robinson brother with a new lineup but Steve Gorman with Trigger hippy is just the best album of the year for me and I hope rich play also with magpie salute
i love the Black Crowes i don´t care if the starting point is about money
i hope years of touring the world (don´t forget holland belgium germany ) and mayby a kickass album or 2
DAMNIT let it be
and BTW the Crowes don´t play arena´s they play mostly for a couple of thousend people
so if they want to make some money for the family fuck it man let them let it be
hmmm angus & malcolm seemed to get along fine !
It`s like a conversation at a funeral
Can't do this, big money grab. Loved this band but this isn't cool
It's ok to make a living from music
This is like Skynyrd after the plane crash only with out a plane crash. They will get some "fans" out to their shows but the real fans and followers of the band won't take part in this sham. I had hoped they would get back together but not like this, it makes me sad.
No it's not. LMFAO. These are the main songwriters that wrote, played, and sang everything. Original singer creator, original guitar player writer. Do you realize how many band members changed through the years in the Black Crowes? Them two being the only main songwriters through the whole thing since the beginning.
Yup I absolutely do know the history of the band. Yeah yeah I know know I was a bit over the top with my previous comment but it's just never going to be right without Steve Gorman. They did him wrong.
@@off-kiltervapors4634 They have a better drummer now IMO. No big deal to me. But I getcha.

Rich and Chris are back together playing Crowes' songs. Nothing else matters and everyone just needs to shut the fuck up and listen before someone relapses and dies.

davemis40 His interviews on this reunion is pretty eye opening. Especially about Chris.....
That was then. This is now
Timothy McGinnis 🤦♂️
Love seeing them back together again. And to the creators of this interview,You couldn't give them each a mic???
The fringe fans are loving it and the hardcore fans hate it and feel betrayed. Good luck fellas...the past 30 years have been great but I'm out. Enjoy the cash grab now because you'll never get money from a lot of your hardcore fan base again.
Heath Fry
It began with the Robinson brothers, so it shall end with the Robinson brothers.
Blood over water.
That being said, if the brothers are truly getting along, and its genuine, the rest will come sniffing around sooner or later, it is a Crowes instinct to do so.
@@timothya.olmeda7299 Totally agree...they can do whatever they want. And I wish them well. Personally....I'm out.
It's not a reunion. It's Chris and Rich and a bunch of other guys playing Black Crowes songs.
GO TO HELL SHIT TALKER!!!
They need Marc Ford, but Marc Ford doesn’t need them...
Eh, love Marc but always like Luther more.
Well I’d say TBC needs Marc and Marc needs TBC. He’s at his best w TBC. I dig some of his solo material but at the end of the day he’s not really much of a singer or frontman so his solo career hasn’t had much commercial success even at the club level. And TBC has never had a lead guitarist as great as him since. He’s the lead guitarist on their best 3 albums - SH&MC, Amorica and TS&OC. No other lead guitarist can match his playing on those albums.
@@IvanLendl87 I still like Luther better. Partly cause I like North Mississippi Allstars.
@@IvanLendl87well said
Chad Whitfield Sober up ,geez .
Marc was involved in the best albums,best Tours/gigs...Rich and Marc - best guitar duo to come from the 90s.✌🏼
Disappointed. I realize bands change but to not have Gorman is a shame. Not a reunion at all. Rich says family is important but then agrees to go on tour without founding member and after Chris took the majority shares. Pathetic.
where's Johnny Colt?Marc Ford/Where's Izzy&Jimmy 2fingers Asshurst?what a coupla bums
Please read Steve Gormans excellent biography about his time with the Black Crowes,and read what these 2 are really like.This is not a Black Crowes reunion
No thx. I love the BCs. The BCs are Rich and Chris. Steve was good but he's not necessary.
Quite sure the parents are happy they worked things out
It’s part of my right to be difficult. Damn right!!!!!
Chris: you know…. Kinda… you know…. Uhhh…..Well……Yeah…..you know….. yeah…… ummm…..well ……you know….. (Never finishes a single sentence).
Rich: (stares at the ground looking miserable)
This is cool, Ill go see it. The hired guns will be great. Yeah, I'd like to see the original line up, but its too much, too many bridges burned. Don't think too hard about this people, if you like Shake Your Money Maker, then just go see it and have a good time. I'm reading Steve Gormans book and yeah these two are flawed, but so is Steve admittedly and so are all of us. Just enjoy it.
I’ve been a long time fan of the B/C for years, and with that being sad, I can buy tickets at a reasonable price for touring acts like Blackberry Smoke , Rival Sons , The Temperance Movement and many others and still get ROCKED ! Drop the ticket price please ! LOL
So cute, they all have the same hair

Can't wait!!! This is Life and We need ❤ MUSIC!!!! NOBLESVILLE, IN early August!!!
Drama Queens and the Black Crowes is my favorite band!
these dudes were basically the rolling stones mixed with the allman brothers
bet that new band is a bargain
Gorman’s book ruined these guys for me. I LOVED LOVED the Black Crowe’s. I just can’t anymore. I still love the music but not the these guys.
INTERFERENCE Band It was pretty apparent that Chris was always a total dick. I read the book and enjoyed it but I also take it with a grain of salt. Why? Because you're only getting Steve's version of the story. I've been hardcore into TBC since SYMM was released. I've known a couple of people who worked tours for TBC. They always said Gorman was as much of a dick as Chris. They also said Gorman & Chris treated Rich like shit b/c Rich never participated in the booze & weed thing with everybody else. I also recall TBC's manager, Pete Angelus, stating on VH-1 that Steve Gorman was really a "Robinson" in every way but the name. But Gorman doesn't point the finger at himself in that book. After TBC broke up in 2013, Gorman publicly aligned himself with Rich. And they were on good terms. Proof of that is when Rich started up The Magpie Salute he asked Gorman to be the drummer. Things got cross-ways b/w them when Steve invited Rich (and Sven Pipien) to an event in Nashville and a Rich failed to show up. Gorman was furious that Rich didn't show or call. So then he wrote the book.
I loved the Crowes I very seen them I think 4 times. I still remember the 1st show, Wow could they perform. I dont want to read the book. I'm not going to see them. It's not a reunion. I'm glad they apparently made up for the moment anyhow, but without the other original members, not interested. Plus it sounds kind of boring if they are just playing 1st album cover to cover. Woopty doo.
I’m listening to the audio book now. I’m about 1/2 through and you’re right. Bummer what dicks these two are..oh well we got the music
All in all the black crowes are a very personal band.
awesome Chis ands RIch TOTALLY HONEST GREAT Unusual to hear anyone be straight
The robinsons are the black crowes hello!!!???
Robinson Bros, Shake your money at us tour. No Ford, no Gorman, etc. No dice.
Comment of the week.
It ain't no Black Crowes without Gorman
So I guess Rich finally agreed to give Chirs 80% and not have any of the other members, real punk rock
One word answer. Money!
This is not The Black Crowes. It’s the Robinson Brothers and some people.
Marcy, I know you remember when we spoke on the phone. And I asked you when was Josie coming back? And you told me how this Friday full metal Jackie would be filling in for him, but that everything was fine and he would be back soon. Now that was a while ago. Can you please let us know what is going on. And when will he be coming back. I’ll try calling you so when I do you’ll least have an answer prepared for all of us. Thank you so much. And bring back Steve Jones!!! DAMM IT!! Like If You Agree!!! A TRUE MENTOR
Hell yeah! Jonesy what's doing!
Jonesy was the best thing on the radio. I miss that show badly and need it everyday. He was the coolest. Did he not want to do it anymore? What happened?

Let’s celebrate 30 years of the 1st record,,,, lets not have anyone in the band that has been in the band the last 30 years,,, joke
Hardly a reunion. There’s no way they’re gonna sell out those venues.
I bought tickets.
I don't even recall if I have ever commented on a video but certainly haven't recently. I'm making a rare exception here. I felt compelled after reading what people had to say on this thread and elsewhere. Granted these reunion interviews are canned, promotional garbage. Ask yourself, however....How many times could YOU answer the same inane questions and still come up with thoughtful and sincere answers ? To say Chris sounds like an idiot is absurd ! He's an extremely articulate, unique, opinionated and nearly endlessly creative individual. Never mind that the time I met him after a CRB show that he was obliterated. The performance was simply superb and at times even transcendent. Rich is just introverted and obviously more inclined to be contemplative but to keep much of his musings to himself. Have none of us never known 2 brothers who were polar opposites ? Besides there is always a "mouth piece" and that's typically the front man of nearly any rock band. Regarding the "cash grab"....Who are any of us to judge ? It's their music, their legacy, etc. to do with as they choose. Should they have put together a more "legit" line-up including important past contributors and collaborators ? In my humble opinion...ABSOLUTELY but it's hardly my call is it ? No doubt those other guys deserve better but they were fortunate to have the time they did in the Crowes in retrospect. Besides how do you even choose from those guys ? They were all killer players ! Everyone is, of course, entitled to their own subjective opinion (including Steve Gorman who merely called it as HE saw it from his perspective as the 3rd longest serving member of that group which I think legitimizes his book) but shouldn't we stop blubbering about their decision ? History shows us that they'll likely fall out again anyway and a few years later pull this same stunt ! As Chris says, it's more significant that these two men are repairing their familial bonds through the magnificence of their body of work. That's fantastic ! Let them enjoy it while and IF it lasts. Are we not true fans ? P.S. Anyone who thinks Chris is artistically spent and a dumb stoner, listen to everything he's done in his solo career lyrically and otherwise. Sure he IS perpetually high but he delivers not just consistently but literally going from strength to strength. Hey...Just my 2 cents. P.P.S. After the tragic death of Neal, what was Chris Supposed to do ? Try to find a REPLACEMENT ?!? Utterly Ridiculous. There isn't one...anywhere...ever. What they brought to life together, to my ears is unmatched and otherworldly.
These guys are my biggest musical influence.
Beautiful to have brother.
Give luther some props!!!!
I would be exhausted after explained all this again and again
Sounds like some guys are low on cash.
I worked at a state fair arena where the Black Crowes sold so few tickets they made the show free.
You guy's are great together! Good music
Da Crowes manager pls.... this is KAREN FROM KC 😁 i got it!!! Add, "The Folly Theater, " to the tour! It's PERFECTLY perfect acoustics!! 🤩
I have nothing for them after the disrespect they gave to Rock God Jimmy Page, when he offered them the keys to his kingdom
that story is a 100% manufactured lie, going back to Jimmy's days with The Firm. he's ALWAYS had "this bag of riffs" in the can. but Paul Rodgers didn't hear them. his solo album ('88) didn't reveal them. David Coverdale didn't coax any of them out of James save for one ("Shake My Tree", self-titled '94 effort). the Page/Plant collab yielded hand-in-warm-water tunes, but no ROCK. so then Jimmy played with the Crowes, and "Rich turned down Jimmy's offer"? THERE WAS NO OFFER. it's 110% revisionist history, ***in order for Gorman to sell his book***, as Jimmy Page getting turned down is a GREAT 'sales soundbite'. buy into the b.s. if you want, but it's not true. at all.
The keys to his kingdom of stolen tunes?
jimmy page and eddie van halen were great but they dont give a good vibe to any bands that came after - they just miss fame
@@stevehagar2107 How the fuck do you know it was manufactured? I guess you know Jimmy personally, right? Also, why would he just walk off the tour he was having so much fun on if he didn't feel respected by Rich? If it wasn't for Jimmy Page, the BC would have never had a second chance, they were fucking done.
@@ParadoxapocalypSatan He offered to help them. It had nothing to do about a few old "stolen tunes." People like you act like Zeppelin made a career off other people's songs.
Nobody:...........
Interviewer: "that's so punk rock"
No Steve Gorman on drums? No real reunion; just a make some money tour.
Without their band?? Ughh, these two can't get out of their own way.
