GREAT DRUMMER AND RECORD MAKER.....the original

"YO CAT"--- but the difference was between him and everybody else was he really was!

[gyro62]

Hal is a legend ! The Wrecking crew ,Beach Boys Herb Alpert, Sinatra, Elvis, Lennon, Barny Miller , Batman, Bob Newhart, WKRP, The Odd couple, Three's company, The Monkees, The Partridge family, on, and on, a huge influence on my drumming ! God Bless you my friend,and Thank you !

Blaine is killer, he was so good improvising such you know, some people thoguht it was psychedelic, but it's'a not. He just played it all so great and is my favorite drummer of all time anyway. I like Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys as well, not maybe so much in the drumming itself but he got a warm heart, even thoguh he had contacts with Charles Manson (see Beach Boys and satan). Hal's a mere, Phill's a Rebel and Dennis is forever. God Bless.

[M3town3]

Well it seems that there's only "one" guy you forgot there...

[TL250Rider]

Hal Blaine Is OK he is about 80 read his book.

I don't thnk he did Drugs.

Read Hal Blaine The Wrecking Crew.

Great book

[melhun61]

This guy has lost it too. wow tamborine..drug and alcohol related for sure..not much upstairs or its gone sideways..polieeeese

[Stevieraylittlewing]

Hmm, just curious, have you ever played a musical instrument before, especially with other musicians? If you had I think you'd find these comments pretty insightful. The recordings he's referring to are legendary, and for me personally, I find the idea of playing jingle bells on a pop recording very unteresting.

Phil is probably most famous for coming up with the "wall of sound", as Hal mentions here, 5,6,7 guitarists; mic placement; and where the madness sets in, endless perfectionism.

[cshargeit]

so fascinating.. he started the cow-bell?? i need info ... i need second hand junk.--- who what when where how shut the fuk up

[MuizeekPhanahtic]

Hal Blaine is very well-spoken and has contributed a great deal himself to the music industry. I think he adds some very interesting historic data that was fascinating to listen to (in this clip). Thanks for sharing.

[Stevieraylittlewing]

Absolutely.

From memory, the most recorded drummer in history; 35,000 recordings, 40 #1 singles; it's all in his book, mentioned above, Hal Blaine & The Wrecking Crew.

But this interview adds more. On a personal note talking about the kindness of Phil, to Sonny Bono. I've also personally heard Marky Ramone, and Seymour Stein, following recent events, speak in support of Phil. It's nice to hear about this side of him.

And he also produced some special music, like John Lennon's Imagine.

Talented? Like a fox... now he can be stew in the pot... or cell...

[JosephNScott]

Quote from Frank Wilson of Motown from that page, which says "Frank Wilson March 2009" near the top: "Gordy came out several times [to L.A....] [W]e were taking [him] to the airport[...] and he said, 'What makes you think you can produce?', I said, 'Because I've been producing much of the stuff that you've been hearing'. So he turned to Marc [Gordon] and Hal [Davis]. He said, 'Is that right?' And they said, 'Yes, that's right'." (Matches very well with claims CK made to me JNS about 8 years ago)

[TuMira85]

nigga shoulda produced himself some sanity and some balls

CHA CHING

[KingDT2007]

May phil live a long time so he can be raped repeatedly while in prison

[peteykkk]

Phil was a great music producer. Personally, he is a disgusting, ugliest, gun toting killer ever. He waved a gun At clients all the time. A buddy of mine worked with him for a very short time and knew he was crazy! He would kill anyone if he could get away with it! He murdered Lana in cold blood because he thought he'ed never get caught, he was too powerful, in his own head. He is gonna rot and die in jail very soon.

[Enslaved10]

He was just convicted! I agree, he`s a fucking ugly piece of shit!

[45spindle]

The Funk Bros. and The Wrecking Crew. The best two bands in the world!!!!

[gameraxxx]

Check out Phil Spector's latest production on youtube.Search Magic Hair.Amazing.

[TL250Rider]

Hal Thank you for naming my Cat Philip

[jongreek]

Hal also played on 7 Grammy "Record of the Year" hits. In a row! No one will ever do that again.

[deepiain]

maracas. do it. class!!!

[rjslade]

I enjoyed his autobiography.

[idahovandal]

The man played on 50 NUMBER ONE HITS.

Think about that.

Earl Palmer was the only one who could touch him as a studio drummer in the 50's and 60's.

[onstageagain]

OJ is a murderer, and so is Phil Spector...

I don't give a damn what else he did... he killed this lady, and really hated women, truth is he hated himself.

[idahovandal]

We're talking about Hal here, not Phillip.

[onstageagain]

I stand corrected !!

[BeatleFriendly]

He's my hero!
