Steve is the real deal. A very down to earth chap. The only right drummer for B.C. It's never been the same for B.C without him

Never fails to amaze each time....some high class music...My morning song being my fave track of this album. Amazing....in a rock era where grunge was the norm, these guys, not even in their 30's, played this high standard music with backing choir....always had my respect from when I was a 15 year old grungerock loving freak...

What is the most disappointing thing about the Black Crowes' story is that the band could not make the music they made AND rise above the old, destructive rock 'n roll clichés. The music is one thing, the immaturity is something else.

Steve was always cool. Loved his book. Loved his band more than I can put into words. The Crowes truly were "my band". Love the work and the story. Super cool video!

My band was managed by the Crowes manager, Pete Angelus, and got to meet Steve and the band a few times. Steve and Johnny were the most down to earth. Never got to talk to Rich very much or Ed because Ed was this phenomenal piano. Kind of kept to himself. At least that’s what I saw, and Chris was pretty cool but a little bit aloof. Great band especially the original lineup. I have a vinyl copy of Southern Harmony, signed by all of the members to me and my brother, who is now passed away. My brother was the drummer in the band and used to pick Steve’s brain for hours in the studio. The good old days. Long live Steve Gorman fantastic Drummer fantastic human.

The only drummer that truly nailed John Bonham. At the Greek was dead on.

One of the underrated greats out there. Never known for his chops, but as with Porcaro they were there, and he knew how to use 'em in service to the groove.

I left the video and bought the audible right away

As a drummer I've always appreciated Steve's style. He always has a really sweet groove and I've never hear him overplay. But listening to this he reached Idol status @ 29.02 "I just wanted to be in a band where I could fire the singer." I'll be picking up the book today.

I started working at Tower Records & Video on Sunset Blvd. the week their second album came out. Chris and Rich walked in and they were the first rock stars I ever met. Chris was obviously baked and he bought Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. He was like, "You ever seen this!? It's amazing!" I told him, "It's one of my favorite movies of all time!" I got his autograph... such a cool memory to have.

The guy thinks of himself first, last, and always. He's a egomanaiacal, narcissistic doosh bag who should have been booted from the band very early on.

I saw the BC several times, but in Orlando, I was in line waiting to get in and Ed walked right by our line. I nodded and said hey Ed, he smiled, said hello, and kept walking. No one around that I saw seemed to know who he was. I think he enjoyed that and I didn't want to bring any unwanted attention to him

I’ve read Steve’s book prolly 10 times. Just so many good stories!!

Thank you. (Eddie really influenced my own piano style. Your respect for him is perfect.)

What an eloquent man. Gotta get Steve's book. Great interview by... . Her name should be in the description The Bone!

About 1/2 way thru right now and its fantastic. Full range of emotions and certainly some of the greatest stories of one of my favorite bands of all time.

Saw them play at the Hardrock in Vegas in the mid 90's, Great Show!!! Steve says 91-97 was peak Crowes. But the Before the Frost/Luther Dickenson stuff is pretty epic!!!

Great book. Too short. Got to see the Crowes once. September of 09' in Nashville. Luther Dickinson and Rich on guitars. Damn good show. They blew the roof off the Ryman...

Brilliant book, read it in a couple of days.

Black Crowes is one of my favourite rock bands, along with Led Zeppelin and Soundgarden....I love the stories but dont think any less about each person because of their addiction or being an arse....they made great music and as in Dutch we say; high trees will catch a load of wind....;)

Absolutely incredible. That was HANDS DOWN the best Crowes interview I've ever seen/heard.... and I've pretty much seen them all. My first show was them opening for ZZ Top at the Omni in Atlanta... that historic night where they got "booted" off the tour... After that I saw them 43 more times (44 total including the Omni/ZZ show). I have tons of Crowes vinyl (all OG), a shitload of collectibles/cds/posters/artwork/etc from the band... met them multiple times, photos, all that shit. I spent 22 years as a FM radio DJ and even with all of that, I cannot imagine myself doing a better interview with Steve than this. Nice work, host.

The crowes, grand funk, soundgarden, Chris Cornell as a solo artist, I can definitely keep going listing great ROCK bands that aren't in the HOF. Yet Madonna is there. Yes, I know she's very successful but definitely not RR. Apparently, being a rock and roll act doesn't matter as Brenda Lee is there and she was country. The spice girls and Paula Abdul will be in there soon to keep Janet Jackson company. I'm all for having a HOF, but it shouldn't be called the rock and roll HOF, when quite a few inductees are clearly not even close to RR.
