Pino is from my town. His bro runs a wicked Italian restaurant. Top family!
Wow, top story!
I understand he was born and raised in Wales, but somehow I hear something Italian when he speaks.
Pino Palladino has quite the career. He went from Paul Young to D'Angelo to Common and The Who. I consider him to be a member of the Soulquarians, to be honest.
no doubt a member of the sq
He is! (according to wiki)
Also in John Mayer Trio!
Well-said, here here
Forgive my ignorance but what is Soulquarians?
Absolutely one of my very favorite bassists...........
Ok im reading a comment of the great Sklar praising the great Pino. What is this Bass inception?
@@ElGrooveEstaEnElFlan LOL
Thanks for this interview. I was one of the engineers on I, Assassin and helped Pino get the sound with the Eventide harmonizer to make his bass sound like a fretless even when it wasn’t. Pino and Gary were some of the nicest artists I ever worked with. Gary loved McDonald’s hamburgers.
Great reveal re: the non- fretless! Thanks!
@glennfeit8294 Fascinating, what kind of settings?
@@antonisatwork depending on the song, either a very slight up pitch or down pitch. I don’t think I did it more than about .5.
What on earth are you talking about? ... "make his bass sound like a fretless even when it wasn't".
Pino's fretless artistry is on full glorious display all over I, Assasin - it's as fretless as fretless gets! Even Pino himself alludes to it in this interview, that it became one of his calling cards in his early career.
Wow. Thanks for checking in. After this interview, that Gary Numan album has been in heavy rotation. Thank you for your contributions...
B.B King Deuces wild album, my fav song was Ain’t nobody home w/ D’Angelo. I had no idea that was Pino. Crazy to think Pino played with Steve Jordan on that song and Steve is the guy that suggested Pino to fill in for Willy Weeks on a John Mayer performance. That performance started the John Mayer trio. The more you look in to his resume the crazier it gets.
word...
Pino is such a humble/cool guy. No different from back at school & his early day's in the band Trapper at The Moon club in Cardiff Wales. Funny I was only just listening to Joan Armatrading today & check out his bass lines on her track The Shouting Stage - classic Pino. 👍
The interview I've been waiting for years. Pino has been the jigsaw piece which has been the part of a lot of the artists we love. Truly humble modest guy and a giant on bass. Him and Quest...pure magic!!!
Well said!
We try to deliver. Thank YOU.
I’m so glad that D’angelo made Prince feel "some kind of way". 😂
Thank you Pino for saving The Who tour in 2002 and your invaluable contribution for 14 years.
I had no idea Rocco was his son but it makes all the damn sense in the world
And Rocco is likely named after the late, great Francis 'Rocco' Prestia, of Tower of Power fame.
My intros to Pino: 1) The Jamerson Book, where he contributed. 2) Oleta Adams, "I Got A Right." His fretless bassline drives the song! and 3) Him on bass on the D'Angelo "Voodo" album, one of the great albums of the 90s, 4) Him live on the Chris Rock Show backing D'Angelo, with that '63 Fender P Bass.....!
The interview we've all been waiting for!
RIGHT!
'Black Messiah' is probably the most influential album in my life. Been a fan of Pino ever since.
NEVER heard it OR D'Angelo; paused; went to Spotify:
Hooked. For.
L I F E.... (manyTHANX)
Pino's son Rocco is my favorite young bassist. His work with the current best young drummer Yussef Dayes is fantastic. He's awesome
Agreed
Nice. He discusses Rocco towards the end of the interview.
And Scott Mckeon!
Questlove AND Pino?? Hell yeah! I heard and saw Pino with Jeff Beck, Terry Bozzio, and Tony Hymas. That gig was AMAZING.
@1:24:25 The fact that D'Angelo was sitting on Betray My Heart for nearly 20 years is criminal. WTF else is in that vault?!
I accept that there are two concepts of time:
1. D’angelo’s
2. Everyone else’s.
Truly one of the greatest bassists of all time. My personal #1 bass hero.
Is that a joke? This guy plays pop music.
@@ciaronsmith4995Clown comment, not surprising given if you had a brain cell it would die of loneliness
Definitely not only! Watch him play fretless bass with crazy solos. Not to mention when he actually plays pop tunes, there’s no one at all that comes close to his timing and feel when playing pop.
Mr Pino Palladino- Representing us Brits in the UK for over 40 years We love you PP!
Representing Wales mate 😉
@nickd.6365 Sorry- my apologies although speaking as a British born, 65 year old black man, I feel very proud of Pino and his achievements over the years and see him as one of Wales, the UK and the world's finest to ever do his thing on such a universal scale. Throughly deserves the plaudits and reputation that he has earned.
@@nickd.6365Technically Wales is a part of Great Britain and the UK.
So yea he represents Great Britain very well! 😂
untold mastery and wisdom seated at that table
Love that he gives Danny Thompson a shout out. One of the coolest upright players around. His work in the 70s with John Martyn is fecking exceptional
And Pentangle before that.
Finally, after all these years listening to this podcast, I can put faces to these intellectuals on the panel….. thanks guys…. Big fan from Macau/Hong Kong🇲🇴 🇭🇰
Shame we didn't have video and snippets of songs for all the other great interviews
Paul Young and the Royal family what a great band he had .Pino was amazing saw them play 1983 my first gig changed my life been following him ever since ❤
YAAAAAY‼️ I’m so grateful to see/hear this‼️💯 Thanks Quest, Pino and everybody!
🩵🤍🫵🩵🤍
Wow - just wow. What a treasure trove of music history! Mind blown. Thank you so much for doing this interview and for all the amazing music Pino & Quest 🔥
Best content I've watched for years. My favourite bass player and my favourite drummer....
Saw the Roots in a tent at Glastonbury in 94, you hit the kick so hard it moved forward and a roadie had to move it back.
Fantastic interview.
Voodoo is a classic, thank you both for your playing. ❤
Saw him for the first time playing with The Who, the concert right after Entwistle's death. Many years later saw him with D'Angelo for The Black Messiah tour. This is a great interview.
Great talk that one. Pino is a legend but I think some of his most iconic stuff goes under the radar. 2 of his lines from back in the day "Tear Your Playhouse Down" (Paul Young) and "Give Blood" (Pete Townsend) on a fretless thru an octave pedal are some of the funkiest melodic in the pocket bass grooves your ever gonna hear in Pop / Rock but no one ever mentions them. Check em out , they are killer
This guy is such a hero of mine 💚 what a treat to feel like im in the room with y'all 🤩
“Don’t look Down”…Pino is one of the greatest to have ever done it
Questlove, thanks man.. Great interview with one of the greats!
Thank you so much for this interview!!❤❤
One of my favorite Electric Bass Guitarists ever. I even recorded and released a song in his honor. Pino 🙌🏿👊🏿🖤
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Pino Palladino is the one of the great bass player of all time.❤❤❤
I am a a freelancer designer, bassist enthusiast, and when I listen musicians talking about their working gigs, challenges, when they managed to get hyped and expectations from the people hiring you etc.. I find both industries quite similar with similar challenges to be honest.
Been waiting for this! All I can say is - Another Life! Bass was so good I had to hunt down the player. Whew! Love him!
FACTS!! 💯👊🏾🔥🎶
Great conversation, but it’s a shame they didn’t talk about his album with Blake Mills.
I've listened to this podcast once, and watched this podcast again on video. And I'm a drummer.
I took a selfie with Pino in 2012. Still love that photo. Love the guy.
Wow, thanks for the encore.
This video should have way more than 6k views! Killer interview. Thanks QL!
Doing way better now. But your point is valid...
The Prince anecdote from Questlove makes this must listen.
Can’t wait to see him live!
Another great,great interview, couldn’t wait to check this out..!
Ahmir is not familiar with Japan, the proto-Duran Duran. Somebody finally stumped him! Duran Duran are extremely underrated as musicians, and John Taylor is especially under appreciated.
💯agree JT is funky as hell.
I'd love to play like Pino 😮💨 Such an icon
Everything PP plays is original, even when he fills in for other greats 👏 pure pleasure!
I like the tangible rapport between Ahmir and Pino, friendship and mutual respect.
Respect to Questo & the Ill Pino P !!!
Respect back to you
Wow, it's not often we see an interview with Pino. Amazing bass player and incredible career. There is no "less is more" with Pino......we just want to hear more please :-)
My heart is full.
Thanks so much for this one!
Wow! This was fabulous! The stories you and PINO shared were incredible glimpses of the stories behind my life.
I stumbled into your pod, and I am so damn happy right now.
Fascinating brilliant interview- thanks all!
I'm so grateful for this
So good! My favourite podcast. The best. Thank you all
Thank YOU. You make us who we are.
Heart-warming update for the Moon that gotten stolen in Leeds! Glad to hear.
I first came across Pino when he played on Go West debut album. Dude is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That album is solid! Great song writing. Pino's bass playing is 'silly' ridiculous on that album...which is still in my rotation. Goodbye Girl...whoa!
Legend(s)much love
Thanks so much for this ❤
Love this Quest ! Big fan of Pino . Thankyou .
I bought 5he apaul Young album BECAUSE the bass lines were so boss! Same thing with Pete Townsend's White City. All thanks to Pino!
Wow.
Amazing interview! Thank you.
PLEASE round 2 soon!
Absolutely fantastic video. Some unbelievable info here for musicians.
Pino saw him play with NIN. WOW!!!
That’s gotta be one of the heaviest groups he filled in for.
thank you ❤

The GOAT
I LOVE Pino.
This was great interview!
First, I absolutely LOVE Pino and his bass playing! I’ve been playing bass guitar for 59 years and my first “real” bass was a 1964 Fender Precision Bass, and although I have several non-Precision basses, I also have four Fender P-Basses ranging from a ‘54 (parts of it are from 1954 but due to serious damage there are lots of replacement parts and I had to replace the original bridge a couple years ago) to a Japanese ‘58 Reissue P-Bass to my main gigging bass, which is a 2017 American Professional P-Bass with Thomastik Infeld flatwound strings that have been on it since the day I bought it. I also have a set of flats on that ‘54 P-Bass that have been on it for longer than that (how much longer, I cannot remember). Flatwound strings - especially LaBellas and TI Jazz Flats - absolutely sound “warmer” the longer that they are on your instrument … for sure! Great work, Quest from a fellow Philly musician. I have always said that you are one of the drummers, along with Bernard Purdie and Zigaboo Modaliste, that I would love to play with before I die.
Really enjoyed this.
Spent last weekend in Wales ...beautiful place
I love you, Questlove
I love Pino even more
But man, I love you, Questlove
Iconic🏴
get here by oleta adams is a gem of a pino track ..use of space and melody just adds so much to what could have been terrible if played any other way ...
AS PINO said, CHECK OUT MICK KARN one of the most innovative bassist with his own vocabulary. Mick was greek so he sometimes played traditional greek scales that are very dissonant. Quest Love is an underrated drummer one of my faves.
Pino is my favorite bass player.
PINO, the GOAT!
Legend.
My intro to Pino was about 10 years ago when he toured with Nine Inch Nails. Check out the live video of Sanctified with his amazing bass line. It’s the only version of the song I want to hear now.
Great podcast! Really enjoyed it! Was hoping that NIN was going to come up.
"I had it on the first night" - LOL. The guy is an alien, of the best kind.
YES!!!!
Bless y’all for blessing us with this!!
My goodness , this supreme podcast was epic! them stories ... 😎♥
We try...
Another Great Interview With That Solid Energy 👏🏿👍🏿
•🎼♪°·🖤·°♪🎼•
What a fantastic interview! Seemed comprehensive (except I wondered about Nine Inch Nails).
THANK YOU. Some of these other commenters, take note...
ah! love the intro
Anyone that plays bass needs to know Mick Karn. Look to Dali's Car. And his solo records. Juan Alderete from The Mars Volta, one of my absolute heroes, worships Mick Karn. Fretless is a different animal. And...this was such a great conversation. 2 of my favorite musicians, absolutely brilliant!
Absolutely. Kind of embarrassing how that🎉 dude didn't know who Mick Karn was, infact this was a bit of a painful watch with that panel, I feel like they had no idea of the level of player Pino actually was and that host was more interested in talking about himself. Mick Karns playing on Gary Numans Dance album ( the one before Pinos ) is next level.
Thank you so much.
Great interview with Pino, why no mention of his work with the John Mayer Trio?
I was really wondering this as well
Time is always the biggest challenge. Pino had a session after the interview. Maybe we'll get a Part 2 someday...
Great Pino
199-tyfeckin'three???
Wow. And I thought I was a slacker when it came to changing strings, LOLZ.
Seriously though, great interview, its great to know what goes on under the hood and what he's actually like and what makes him tick as probably the greatest bass player I've ever heard.
and yet...... I still dont think I've ever seen him live yet. Not yet!
Right!?
Great shoutout to John Martyn, that man was a musical genius who never broke out of the UK much.
Check out the song 'Small Hours'.
Cheers for the post. I have a 55 watt version. With the channels jumped it’s got more than enough gain with a Strat. It’s dedicated to and I play a same era short scale bass through the bright channel. It has a quintessential Fender growl. It’s way too much to haul for rehearsals but, for gigs it’s worth the effort. I would love to chop it up but can’t bring myself to that extreme.
By the time I got to you guys the shrooms kicked in😂😂😂😂classic😂😂😂😂
I’m listening to Gary Numans “I, Assassin” album and I swear I’m listening to a demo version of “1999”! WOW, inspiration at its best
Really great album, right? This interview had us pull I, Assassin out again too.
First time I heard him (and of him) was on Clapton’s “Bad Love”. I just thought “wow, what a great sound!”
wasnt that Nathan East??
@@stevem-h3562 No, he played on other songs on that album but Pino played on that one.
@@BozJust Yep, I stand corrected, you're absolutely right. Well, I never knew that!
@@stevem-h3562 You are welcome 😊
dude, that's so cool!
63 drum sets! Bloody hell
You don’t find Pino’s interview like this
True. We try to deliver...
Great interview! The panel doesn't seem to be familiar with what Pino did with Paul Young; if they had been they would definitely have raved about that. Very different from Voodoo, but just as mindblowing.
