About 10 years ago at NAMM I went across the street to a little pizza place, ordered up a slice and sat down. Leland comes in right after me, asks if the seat next to mine is open. Uh, yeah, it's open! Spent about 45 minutes having the best time talking (and mostly listening to his great stories). I'll never forget it. He's exactly like he comes across here. A real gentleman and as we know, an extraordinary talent. Legend indeed!
You lucky dog! Always liked him so down to earth and so much talent genesis had the best working chemistry of any band I’ve listened to they were all perfect together.
@@RichardTClark396 100%. And yeah, I still feel lucky to have that experience.
✊ l second that. Met Leland at the music tent in Massachusetts…instant friend, beautiful guy. Then we went in to meet Lyle Lovett and the first thing I said was “Dude…I just met Leland Sklar!” ✌️🕊🌏🙏
@@johndeggendorf7826 What a great story!
That must have been so awesome!
"Everything I do is etched in mud," what a brilliant phrase
Lee’s sense of humor is contagious.
I could sit and listen to Leland Sklar's stories for a week straight. His life would be an amazing bio pic.
I and some friends were front row for Lyle Lovett and Leland comes out and our jaws dropped, then Russ Kunkel comes out and we all just went to heaven. Those two are THE MASTERS ... period.
I knew you'd repeat that joke as a lead in for this reprise! Rick laughing at his joke about the drummer tuning the drums down, Lee says "....I'm only talking about the musicians...." Rick totally cracks up....love, love, love this!
Leland is a national treasure!!! Great interview Rick
These life long studio musicians are just so impressive!
Leland is a true gem 🎼💖🎵
I will never tire of listening to Leland Sklar' stories.
What a treasure! I never tire of hearing his stories. Beautiful human.
I so enjoyed discovering Leland’s RUclips vids back in the pandemic. I’d heard of him years……decades……before. But through those vids I realized what a wonderful human being he happens to be.
I wonder what he thinks about his voting choice now? I`m sure he eats well though...unlike us nobodies on Social Security he hates.
@@baneverything5580what do you mean? Is he a trump guy?
This story about transposing all songs just before the gig was truly impressive.
Only special kind of musicians is able to do that. Amazing!
I didn’t even know who Lee was before seeing him on your channel. Thank you for shining a light on this man’s beautiful work.
Mark & Brian shoutout! Those Christmas episodes were MAJOR events. Crazy stars, artists, celebrities not just stopping by, but really performing.
I would not have known who Lee was back then, but it's pretty awesome now to virtually know him and think back to those shows. "Of of COURSE it was Lee on bass!"
Leland is an amazing bass player, i could listen to his stories all day.
I got a chance to see/meet Leland when the Lyle Lovett tour hit Calgary in July. What a thrill for me, a moment I will treasure forever.
One of the best parts of being musician beside making music is the coolest hilarious talks you can have with other musicians.
Be yourself, don't take crap from no one, be respectful and work your ass off (and have fun doing it! )
OK, great heavily arranged song! Live show in 5 minutes OKAY EVERYONE DOWN A STEP - wait MAKE THAT A STEP AND A HALF 😃
This is why we have so much respect for Leland and other awesome backing musicians like him.
Something so important that Leland points out here, is just to UNDERSTAND the difference in expertise.
Mostly how well people are talented at those differences!
A lot of times people make you feel like you have to perfect at all of it.
Which doesn't even make sense from the amount of it.
Coming up with something new and refreshing just takes completely different skills than having to change the way you're playing 5 minutes before going live.
I love how you explained etch in mud …. It really shows your amazing talent
I could listen to Lee's stories all day. Such a gifted storyteller with a lifetime of material given the people he has worked with. Love his channel too.
Legend! Man, I love Lee. Seems like such a genuinely kind and funny guy. What an incredible talent and unbelievable life he has lived.
Nobody- repeat NOBODY had the pocket & held the tempo like Jeff Porcaro! Truly gifted AND worked his ass off, and still made time to teach and share what he knew! He didn't die- heaven needed a great drummer ❤ RIP
I wholeheartedly agree. Jeff had a feel, and a touch that was in his DNA. You simply can’t teach something like that. He’s always been my favorite drummer and sometimes it’s still unbelievable that he’s not here with us. At least he left an incredible legacy of music behind. 😢
@@richardjcranium well said
Jeff was a musician world class
This could've been 4 hours long and I wouldn’t have stopped listening.
He has the best stories
Love Leland for his humanity, humility, and incredible bidy of work. Some of the best stories...
The numbers in Mr. Sklar's phone book must be amazing!
I’d never heard of this guy before but since the interview on the main channel I’ve been obsessed with all his work. Thanks Rick!
You may not have heard of him before - but you‘ve sure heard him play!
Have you checked out his own YT channel? It's full of gems. Episode after episode of him to taking a track he's played on, talking about who was on it etc - and then playing along.
@@Wileylikethehawkevery time I talk about his music people say never heard of him I say oooh I’m pretty sure you have!🤣 then I rattle off some of his work and they all say oooooh him!😂
As a bass player, I am absolutely loving Lee's anecdotes. Classic stuff.
Lee is so talented that it is amazing how humble he is. Love this guy.
I love this. Sklar is telling us some of what it's like to do what he does as a professional musician.
Leland’s channel has incredible videos. He is on vacation in Spain and I am totally enjoying “being on vacation” with him. He has a great channel.
Tower of power horns!!
I love Leyland Sklar...
Absolute legend.
No bs. Look up his repitoure.
Leland is the professional’s professional. After first watching “The Wrecking Crew” documentary , I have learned to really appreciate studio musicians. I actuality, a great studio musician is first a musician, second an arranger, and third a writer/composer. I’ve always thought of them as engineers. Someone gives them an idea and they make it work. This was a great episode, thank you.
Yes. These session musos should get the lions share of the royalties if they create a hit song, not the guy out front who just came up with some simple chords and melodies.
By far my favorite bassplayer/musician. The feel, and the Groove.
I was backing up Danny Korchmar once at a festival and Lee was up there playing bass on the other side of the stage full of people. He probably didn’t even see me, but I still consider it a musical career highlight. What a cool guy he is!
Lee Sklar is to bass what every drummer from Buddy Rich, Hal Blaine, Jeff Porcaro, Carmine Appice, and Neil Peart are to drums ❤
It It hard to fill that bag... But Nathan east (Studio) AND geddy lee AND Chris squire AND John Wetton too
This guy Is so musical!!!! So sad to step in TOTO on such Situation
What about Slimbone Higgins or Johnny Wigworth?
@@baneverything5580 I'm not familiar with them. Am I missing something spectacular?
One of the great bass playing session musicians and live musicians. So many albums I've had with him and Waddy Watchel and Russ Kunkel.
Leland is truly one of the foundations of so much music of the last 30-40 years. Wow!
8:29 Those two Andy Griffith albums are some of my favorite from my childhood! Really incredible playing on those, Lee.
Wow! What a fabulous interview. Lee is such a great and humble guy and so, so loaded with talent.
Lee for President! Man I love his stories. Please have him on again. Awesome!
Cool video Rick. Has seen the long version and this was a treat. Lee is so easy to listen to. Love his stories. At the moment he is in Europe on holiday. Greetings Rick.
Leland one of the best ever
Heavyweight with the graceful touch. Thanks for all the notes and insight Leland!
What a great interview!! I love his demeanor and humility
Leland is such a lovely person! You cant more than love his personality.
Thank you Rick for this interview. Leland is an absolute LEGEND!
I saw a rerun of a tv show The Incurable Collector hosted by John Larroquette the other day. Lee Sklar and his wife were featured. They collect EVERYTHING and display it all in their home. From pink elephants to Santas to mechanical Mr. Peanuts. Fun show and Lee is seriously into kitsch.
We really need an official documentary of Lee and his life and career. Champion
Studio musicians offer so much more than players in an established band. They read, are versed in a variety of styles, deliver the goods in a timely manner, etc.
I love this guy hung out with him for a few days at a session in LA many years ago
All of your interviews are truly captivating and quite the learning experience. At the same time you are a blessing. Please keep doing what you’re doing and thank you.
2:48 - Mr. Sklar speaks about being ready for anything and how invigorating it can be. I’ve found this at local jams around ATL. You never know who you’ll be matched up with so makes you listen! Musically speaking…
Leland is a living music ikon!
Another fantastic interview! Let the guest tell the story, don’t interrupt, don’t talk about you…..wonderful!👍
Two of my most favorite people in the world just chatting away and I get to sit here at home and listen in. Ain't technology great? How can you beat it?! Lee, if you ever had time to write a book, you could write something the size of War and Peace with all your fascinating stories. God I would love to read that.
Mr. Sklar! I see, I click. Love your work Rick, and especially when you interview this living legend.
This was a great interview, Rick ! I’m a big fan of Lee’s work and the stories are great. Didn’t even scratch the surface either. Love what you do , Rick - Thanks much !
Great vid. Rick. Leland is such a great storyteller with a wonderful sense of humor. He remembers every name as well.
Thank you again for honoring Jeff Porcaro a true inspiration
Love his talented fingers sounds
Leland Sklar! I remember him when he played for everybody.
Truly a Portal to many artists we loved and appreciated through the years. Neat stuff
These stories made my day. (Evening.) Gave me a much-needed lift. And some yet-hopeful vision for humanity.
What a musician, and a gentleman, mr Sklar! Thanky You for this interview Rick😊
Been wishing there was session work around here for years, it's always sounded like an amazing job.
I like how he appreciates the drummers he's worked with.
How humble and professional is he? "This really needs an upright, let me call John Pattitucci."
For me, this is such an entertaining interview. Great man
Great Clip Rick. Love to you Both.
What a great interview. Grateful for this!
It's so important to record music history. Love this.. I also love the Hammond M3 or similar with the Leslie speaker system behind him. That outrageous retro sound cannot be duplicated by digital means
Easy to understand why so many top artists wanted to work with him, type of person who makes you better,
TY, Rick! What an amazingly fabulous bassist! Seems equally great as a person in general. This was a real treat for musicians of any stature!
Fantastic Conversation Rick.... Stay Gold!
Have similar experiences with 'church music'! We instrumentalists show up with no idea what the music is going to be for that service; or if it's going to be played in the written key. The music itself (the contemporary stuff) is usually written by amateurs for organ and crudely adapted for guitar; so we usually have to do some editing to make it work. All-in-all; it's great training for band work!
Love your style. So awesome! Great interview. Appreciate you both. 😊
Delightful, thank you! 🎸🍾❤️
Great stuff Rick!!! Thank you!!!
This was so, very, very awesome! Do you have more of this with Lee, please??? I love Lee's "war stories"!
Remarkable interview. Thank You.
Nice one, 66 on May 1st next year so it's good to listen Sir... Leland, a great musician but, & more importantly to my mind, a great human being.
Great interview.😊
I could listen to Leland Sklar all day long .
Please don't suck... great mantra haha love Leland
Leland needs to write a book! And thanks for the interview.
This is just so wonderful!!!!
Bet Leland Sklar could sell out Carnegie Hall just telling stories. That Andy/Opie hair thing was a certified knee-slappuh! 😂😆😝
Wonderful !👏😄 What a beautiful musical life 🤷🏻♂️ I’m sure it was every bit as much a pleasure for the drummers he so admired to have played with him -🥂 A gentleman & very fine musician -
Ha...Brilliant Genesis story!!!!!
Leland is a legend! I love both of your channels. 💕
I love this and the other channel. We share the same view about modern music and its lack of heart, rhythm and content produced naturally by truly talented artists.
Lee is the absolute best 💜
Leland "the legend" Sklar. Nuff said!
Fantastic interview! ❤
Played with Charlie Watts, Ringo, Andy Griffith, Donald O’Conner & Mel Torme! Congratulations. What a career!
The FIRST final farewell tour? omg
