In my opinion Mike Campbell is the most underrated guitarist of all time
Agreed!
This "most underrated ...." stuff is one of the most overrated quotes ever. Underrated by whom? Bu the Heartbreakers fans? By the Travelling Wilburys? People who play guitar - not shredders!!! - know that Mike is soooooo good. And he belongs to the "100" list of great guitarists in the rolling stone. What do you mean by "underrated"?
Mark, your name looks kinda Irish, ever heard of Rory Gallagher?
@@joe22589 Joe, Thank you for the comment. My statement said "in my opinion ". I'm not sure you caught that. I don't want to presuppose any group of music lovers...whether Willbury's or Heartbreakers or even Fleetwood Mac's. Hope this helps.
@@patrickmegan8224 I've heard of the lad...and hope he wins this year's Masters. And yes I am Irish. Thanks for the comment
Super classy of Mike to give Lindsey his respect on camera like that. Stand up dude
No it wasn't
Yep! And now I don't feel as bad about Dreams. If Mike struggles with the timing of those "simple" licks, I can cut myself some slack. LOL
David R don’t be that guy
I wouldn't go that far it's just basic human respect which i can see that when it's used it stands out these days , Oh Well ya know it's kind of true ! Peace !
That’s what you get with a consummate Pro like him
Mike's contribution to Toms sound and success cannot be overstated
One of the most underrated guitar players. Incredible songwriter and incredible guy.
Mike Campbell is a class act. A brilliant song writer, a brilliant player and a gentleman
What an absolute legend
Rock royalty. The dude is just top of the heap
Three things are inevitable: death, taxes, and obvious, vapid clichés in YT comments. 🙄
One of the absolutely most likeable people in music. Always a pleasure hearing him speak.
His PERFECT answer to how he contributes to FM won me over - and I've been a fan for 40+ years, lol. What a guy!
Agreed. He named lindsay buckingham and he gave him the credit that he deserves. Class answer.
Not to sound contentious but the thing I really admire about Mike is he keeps growing as a player and his chops are next to none. A lot of legendary players tend to flatline at a point and just cruise there but Mike, Joe Walsh and Frampton comes to mind as well, just seem to keep an active enthusiasm and interest in playing which shows imo
Justin Garcia I believe you are right. Mike is a guitarist and excellent guy first, and a rich rock star second. He has lived his life with honor. Anyone can do that, rich or poor. His talent goes without saying.
Killer Guitar Player and a Gentleman
"Here Comes My Swirl". 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Took me a moment.
"Runnin' Down Ice Cream"
Freeze Fallin'.....I'll get my coat 😆
Ameri-cone Girl 😆
I'll shut the door....
Jammin Cream
I’m sure Mike has his days (as we all do), but it’s nice when one of your idols turns out to be a fantastically humble genuine dude.
I'm with ya....right about the time I started learning guitar in 81 or 82' MTV had Tom Petty on and The Waiting was my favorite song...and I fell in love with Mike Campbell's playing and tone....those Rickenbackers!!! It's funny looking back how they were kind of an underground band. Now, one of the most popular bands of all time!!! RIP Tom
Ian Snyder Agreed. Tom’s death (feels more appropriate to use his 1st name) hit me harder than any rock and roll death. If there was a Mt. Rockmore, he’d be on it. And Goddam Mike Campbell is a bad ass!! The perfect guitarist for Tom Petty. I love all the hits, but one of my fav underrated songs is “Dogs On The Run”.Take care🤘
I love how he speaks of Tom in the present tense... long live the Heartbreakers.
His voice is so similar to Tom’s.
Had the same exact thought. It's like when a married couple starts to look alike.
Same town
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that lol well they were kinda like brothers and being around someone like Tom for so many years and being that close to someone like that you start to sound and talk like them
ryanern18 😂😂😂
They all were from the same 50-mile radius, in North Florida, too, so, much of it is regional speech.
Ron Blair’s speaking voice is similar to Tom’s ,too.
Mike Campbell seems like a pretty cool dude
that was literally one of the best interviews I have ever seen. GREAT questions......and Mike gave very thoughtful and engaged answers. Thanks a bunch for posting.
Any question that starts with, "What's your favourite...." is not a good question. It's a lazy one.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH ok professor thanks for clarifying exactly how I feel. I know realize I was actually wrong and in reality I hated this interview and didn’t enjoy the answers that were given due to the horrible questions provided to the artist.
He's a true inspirational player and writer. Killer tone and always tasteful. One of my all time favorites.
Legend! What an Insanely talented and humble dude.
Clickbait! There was NO REVERB on his voice ! It SAID REVERB INTERVIEW !
My first memory of Mike Campbell was his playing on Stop Dragging My Heart Around. Legend player...love you Mike
Mike Campbell doesn't realize it [or maybe even care?], but he and the rest of the Heartbreakers pretty much have made the "Soundtrack" to my life, and it's so So SO appreciated. I probably sing, whistle or hum a TP & the HB song every day! Peace - RT!
Love Mike Campbell, glad to see him smile and busy working.
His playing is the template on how to play the right parts for the song
Seems like a great guy. Love his playing and humbleness.
What did you think of his humility though?
Great guitarist, extremely underappreciated
a pro's pro. one of the great guitarists in rock history and cleary a smart, humble and stand up guy. one of the best for sure.
England in the 60’s was exactly where my mind went too :-)
It's great hearing things from Mike's perspective.
This is the kind of musician the young folks need to admire and emulate....
Thanks for this awesome interview, Mike is the most humble melodic legend ever. What a fantastic player!
Mike Campbell is awesome, Tom Petty was lucky to have him!
They'd say the same thing about each other but don't fool yourself, there would've been no Heartbreakers without Tom.. Mike and all the guys are insanely talented but Tom made it happen.
I believe Tom said that more then once!
Flower Doyle yea he did he even wrote a song about it. " you got lucky babe.... when i found you." That was about Mike Campbell.
@@jpotts345
That line says,"you got lucky today, when I found you"
The third person I am aware who has a Broadcaster. Steve Howe and John 5 being the other two. Mike Campbell is one of the top guitarists in the world ( OBVIOUSLY ).
Mike has always been my #1 favourite guitar player.
I can never possibly say enough about M.C. He's a brilliant player and a wonderful human. He has talent and integrity and I'm so glad he found this gig. He's way too valuable a player and songwriter and foil to not have been scooped up by a band as amazing as Fleetwood Mac.
What a down-to-Earth guitar and writing legend... anytime I hear Mike give interviews, I still hear Tom's voice within him. That is how close they were... :( Mike brings such a cool vibe to Fleetwood Mac... I hope to see them live! BTW... who are the complete idiots that would give the Living Legend Mike Campbell a "thumbs down" for sharing his musical... and humorous... insight?!??
His speaking voice even sounds a little like Tom Petty. Such a cool player
I 100% was thinking the same thing.
Agreed
He sounds like tom's just a bit fast. Tom was more laid back💞💞❤ 😉😉
My favorite guitar player. He mentions Short bridges to get from point a to b. His notes are Memorable sounds, I love it. Best wishes to Mike❤❤😍
Was just about to say the same thing...
I could listen to him talk all night. Aside from one of the great rock guitarists, he is a brilliant bluegrass player.
My favorite guitar player.
No he 's not
Mike Campbell is a true class act which is rare nowadays. Mike has been a huge influence in my guitar playing. He's so humble and he makes learning guitar seem easy. Truly one of the few guitar players that has never wasted a note along with David Gilmour and Elliot Easton. Their playing serves their song so well. Kudos to you Mike Campbell!
‘Good Enough’ is absolutely the best guitar tone. What a hell of a track!!
Totally agree. I was floored when I heard that tone. It’s godly.
Happy he's working and feeling good. Love ya brother!
One of the best Mike interviews. Seems in a great space.
One of my favorite players and writers. Boys of Summer alone. One of my favorite songs.
I want to have a few beers with this guy. What an articulate, amazing artist just enjoying life. He’s so respectful of his hero’s and self deprecating.
Great interview!
Boys of Summer !? Was a bit tired of that tune, no more now that I know!
such a cool guy! great sense of humour
I love Mike Campbell!
Great questions - nice interview. Mike goes right onto his next team without having to go into limbo and grieve. He should be the perfect plug-in for Buckingham. It's like magic!
Mike thank you for your kind words about Lindsey and respect for him. To hear you say that literally made my day. Thank you.
God i love that guy so much...
Admittedly, this type of music is not in my wheelhouse and I don’t know much about Mike Campbell but what a great human. Humble, legendary, and when I heard he wrote Boys of Summer with DH I became an instant fan. Why a brilliant song. Reverb - Mike Campbell’s got another fan!
Love this Man truly gifted person , who’s music has put a smile a tear and change my life for the better.
He seems really relaxed in this video thanks Reverb 🤘
You stole my comment, friend! :) Not that I have even come close to seeing all MC interviews, but I have not ever seen him smile and laugh so much. Thank you Reverb!
Blood 15honey a bunch of us think that the touring and playing have really been therapeutic for him.
One of my favorite players, all business no flash. He's one of those special players that, within a few bars, you can always tell is him playing
One of the best songwriters and guitarists on earth, end of story. He is underrated and iMO Toms secret weapon. George Harrison and the rest of the Wilburys might also agree.
Mike Campbell you one of the great rock guitar players , you are a tone king ! Thank you sir !
Mike is the man! 🤘
To me he's everything a lead guitarists in a rock/pop band should be. The perfect pairing of g harrison and scotty moore
TPATH were all about the songs, no long leads, no fancy stuff, especially the 21st century music, and Mike was perfect for Tom. They got down to that pure raw sound that is what rock is all about.
Mike and John 5, I could listen to them talk about music all day. Reverb make it happen.
What a freaking legend
Hey Mike remember when you played with Derek Trucks at a bar in Dade City FL.? Our mutual friend Rodger h. Told me of that gig . Getting high on set break was the best sesh in my life .got to reminisce with Derek about that show at a north Georgia harvest fest . He told me that was his second paying gig .so awesome of you to play with him and show him to ropes on tour . congratulations on the Fleetwood Mac job . Thanks for all the good music and memories .i
Man! I had no idea he played on Boys of Summer. No wonder that song's guitar parts are so awesome. It makes sense now.
I heard this question right as I saw your comment. 🔥🔥🔥♥️
I love listening to his thoughts on music
Love you so much Mike !!! You created and played the soundtracks to my life....

In my opinion and observation he has really breathe some new life into Fleetwood Mac.
We saw them in Denver a month or so ago, and Mike had a great influence on the overall show. Besides playing great on all the FM songs, he brought out some of the older Peter Green material. Seeing him drive Christine McVie jamming out on Black Magic Woman was so cool, just a really different flavor for FM. Oh Well, a Danny Kerwin tune, a great Neil Finn tune, and Free Falling in the encore, his stamp was all over the show. Highly recommended!
Yep Loved what he said about Our kiwi,Niel Finn
The fans paid to see and hear Fleetwood Mac and as great as Mr. Campbell is in his own right, he is doing the right thing by being faithful to the original spirit of the hits he is being paid to interpret.
Wow it's like he loved Tom so much he absorbed his essence in a really profound way. Or maybe twin souls
Rock on Mike , You're the man .
Can't stop watching...LOVE you, Mike! Thank you, Reverb:)
Princeton Reverb all the way.
Living legend. Seems so humble too. Always makes my day when that comes across from one of my heroes.
A living legend . ....nuff said.
What a great interview and such an unbelievably cool guy.
Great clip. Best rhythm and only rhythm section still alive from the old days? C’mon Mike, how about Paul & Ringo!? Haha. Of course, they don’t play together very often anymore, but still. Mike is a talented and genuine guy.
As an Englishman, I'd like to congratulate him on his band naming skill.
Incredible guitar player, gentleman and all round cool cat 👍
Thanks for all the things you do. You had me at American Girl! My favorite amp as well.
thanks for this. what a cool, normal guy. i could listen to him talk music for hours. there's a video that was taken down where he's going thru gear and guitars and it is so awesome. i only watched a little bit of it, tagged it to watch later (at home while drinking a beer and guitar in lap!). i've tried to find it, i think it was a fan club only type of video cause i couldn't locate it anywhere else.
cheers to a Legend
What a legend
Love, love, LOVE this man. And he is right on regarding his comment-and ultimate compliment-regarding John & Mick ... They started playing as a rhythm section in Fleetwood Mac the same year that Sgt. Peppers, Strange Days, Disraeli Gears, and Are You Experienced were released.
Such a good guy. Very honest, and funny. Great interview.
This is great. Thank you sir, may i have another.
No it's not......don't thank me and no you may not
David R lol what do you have against mike Campbell? I’ve seen your other comments and I’m super curious
I love when new videos pop up with the legends
Amazing. Can't wait for "The Dirty Knobs" Album. RockRightOn, All.🎸🈲🕯
The guitar riff played in Back to the Future by Michael J. Fox is actually played by long time LA studio musician Tim May ( originally from a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio)
Tim has been on the cover of Guitar Magazine five or six times.
This got me started on a Mike Campbell RUclips binge
Mojo is one of my all time favorites
Awesome video y’all. Mike is the man.

That was Great! Mike is the best!
I really like how they give a hint of every song he mentions. It’s like “oh, yeah. That’s the one!”
Love Mike. He is awesome. Such a humble and kind human being. Tom was certainly lucky to have him and all the Heartbreakers. One of the best bands ever.

Proper legend.
Love this dude! Feel extremely blessed to have caught The Heartbreakers on their last two tours. If you haven't checked out Way Out West by Marty Stuart, do so! Mike produced the album and it's a gem.
mpactdesignmedia fantastic album!
mpactdesignmedia fantastic album!
Thanks for the recommendation. Hadn't heard of this album but have since bought it and love it!
@@flossypup Absolutely!
Mike is a true gentleman! Thank's Mike, for helping make so many of my memories through music.
Love Joe Shadid and Mike Campbell playing "That's All Right Mama" at the end of the video. Fabulous!
