So wonderful you met Jeff❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️

I just discovered Jeff Buckley, 20 years after his death. I cannot believe this guy never came up on my radar. Grace and Mojo Pin are amazing, hauntingly beautiful songs. Great interview, glad I found it!

jeff wasn't that famous in America but he was huge internationally. He also turned down thousands of dollars of film sync offers from his major label, he told his mgr at the time that he wanted to win one fan at at time. He was a true bonafide artist, and extremely talented singer. Jeff even says in a video that real artists and poets are devalued along with women in society. He is super inspiring. And i believe he is modern day societies answer to being a more whole human being through emotion and femininity.

I was at a friends place and she played me Grace and I told her "turn this shit off"!!! Three years later I was sitting alone at home and Grace came on the TV and it blew my mind: I went out the next day and bought the album, phoned my friend and she said "I told you"!!!

Luckily I watched O.C in my teenage I ve alrdy listened to Jeff monthly for more than 15years Thank God Letting me hear Angel Singing on the Earth, Hallelujah !

I fell asleep on a foggy evening. The Grace album came on the youtube shuffle. I awoke to a full moon through the ocean fog. 404am on the clock. First time ever hearing Jeff Buckley. I was thinking man that was a trip. Thought morrissey cocteau twins led zeppelin occult david bowie Demon's Kabbalah angels. How aold is this guy. It sounded so complete. Like he was reporting back a golden dawn occult trip through adept to master journey. WOW. Gary Lucas from Beef heart as well Circuits blown.

Oh good god, not whiney @$$ Morrissey, but def hear cocteau twins, zeppelin (vocals and guitar influences), and Morrison. I don't hear any bowie in there. BTW, I'm fans of, and have music from, every artist you've referenced.

I absolutely love Gary Lucas his playing with beef heart ,Jeff Buckley ,Chris Cornell and so many others his style and maestro is spectacular!didn't realize he's from Syracuse NY my hometown 💙

Came together so beautifully ... 'grace' .

I remember a casual conversation with Jeff and his band out there in '¿95?, who were touring various countries. I was passing through a bohemian neighborhood of the city and they see me and call me to the table where they were. They pranked and teased Jeff and bought me a beer. I was about 19 years old and I was walking with my guitar, they made me sing and one of them began to be interested in what I was playing... But it was all part of a joke between them, the girl who accompanied them and the drummer... I think that I had an oar of beers and I went to continue hanging around there, some time later I found out who they were...

"he looked like a young Tim Buckley" that caught my ear funny because Tim was 28 when he died. Jeff would have been 24 in 1991.

Yes, but think of how much more immature you were from 24 to 28, in both thoughts and behaviors. Jeff looked similar, but also different from age 23 to 27, and his sound had really transformed if you listen to his earliest recordings and his later recordings because a few years of regular playing/touring makes all the difference, and not just in Jeff's music, but even in Nirvana and others. I'm mostly talking about their live performing, not so much the produced recordings with the the producer's signature on the album. Don't believe me? Just listen to the earliest recordings of Last Goodbye, entitled Unforgiven. Same song, but the latter arrangement and lyrics far richer and more emotionally mature and less victim-y than Unforgiven.

Gary has a knack for working with poetic and tragic artists. Jeff and The Dark Poets... Depth and beauty.

So glad to have found this interview of Gary talking about Buckley. I wanted to know his thoughts on working with him. They did such an amazing job on Grace!!!

Thank you for this video!

That says it all about the depths of the moral abyss in the music industry when the junior A&R guy after breaking a contract has the gall to say to an artist, "You can't afford to sue us". Fucking sickening.

...well, that's how psychopaths roll. Surely you've heard Pink Floyd's song, "Welcome to the Machine". Well, that's all about the psychopaths talking to the artists and how f'ing emotionally vacant, ruthlessly greed-driven, and utterly soullless psychopaths actually are. That is neither false nor hyperbolic, just like PF's song lyrics (which are cold, blatant truth).

That’s my uncle Gary Lucas. Epic guitarist. 🎸🏆 I invented a new guitar fretboard. It’s a cool coincidence Jeff does FretCorner vibrato by pulling the high E string over the FretCorner on hallelujah live Chicago on solo. That is what my invention does it just allows it on all strings to pull over fretcorner. I’m sure if Jeff was still around we’d be friends or even collaborate as he uses the FretCorner vibrato.

Great story.

It doesn't take a Yale education to see it for what it is - using Jeff's name and face to get you to listen to his microphone. Just like in this video and just like in its thumbnail. This is a flawed man that was exposed in 2000 in the book Dream Brother, and now all these years later continues to clout chase and try to make money by throwing dirt on a dead man's name. From the moment he heard Jeff all he saw was dollar signs and record deals. The Buckleys were flawed as well, but there's a reason the industry wanted them and not Gary. His music was referred to as noisy and masturbatory, now rewatch this video and hear it for yourself. This guitar god is so full of himself he forgot it was a video about Jeff. It's just self-indulgence still rearing its bald head all these years later.

Credit goes where it's due. It's not his song anymore and only a deeply jealous person would continue to ride the name Grace like he does. My father went to Berklee and believe me, they eat just fine. The starving musician image is by design to get you to put money in the cup. Good artists should be able to handle being brought down a peg.
