James Gadson, "the guy standing behind Beck" in this video, is a drumming legend. Look him up on Wiki, etc.. if I were ever lucky enough to get him in my band I would have never let him go.
Hey guys, I'm 15 and if you have any spare time please check out my guitar covers on my channel. It sucks advertising like this but it's the only way to get exposure thanks if you check them out :)
this guy has really surprised me with his variety of lyrics.. I love young musicians that stick around. Loser showed us what somewhere from nowhere could do.
The advertisement on these videos is like 10X louder and screechier than the video itself D: My ears, they bleeeeeed. Ahhh yes, soothing Beck. That's much better!
@MrRichardStockwell Scientology makes as much sense as Christianity to me, and I don't go "cancelling out" awesome musicians because of that. Things have nothing to do with eachother.
If I was stranded on a desserted island, the album I would want to have is Midnight Vultures. I know this song isn't on there and I wouldn't have electricity but you get the idea lol!
Beck is mainstream enough to be in many culture references :) He's had plenty enough chances to get as many views as justin beiber and lady gaga. Some people just dont go out of their way to listen to him I guess
Agreed. I would say underappreciated. His songwriting and musical talent are incredibly deep, but alas.... that does not sell to well in the pop music scene (Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, etc). I see him kinda like Tori Amos. Music afficianados will know of him or her, but teeny boopers will not
@Firefly7419 No problem. I think somebody else named him in a different comment, but it was a good ways back. There's no mistaking his hair. It's got to be a wig wouldn't you say? In any case, it could be fine-tuned a little bit. Then again, maybe he should just leave it like it is.
@filthyike2001 I'm sure it's the economy. I'm in the same boat. I used to gig a lot, but lately the calls just haven't been coming. I'm not exactly in the right place: a small town in North Alabama. It's only a 1 1/2 hour drive from Nashville to the north and Birmingham to the south.
Just so I don't have to say this to everyone who thinks the black guy is just some random dude, his name is James Gadson, a studio drummer who's played with Bill Withers, Freddie King, Martha Reeves, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, BB King, Albert King, Paul McCartney, Donald Fagen, Steely Dan, and Beck. I'm sure the list goes on and on but that's all I could find on short notice. He's a great drummer and this drummer is a big fan. He does have some goofy hair though.
@XplosivePercussion Well, we're both right. I just looked at the liner notes of "The Information" and it lists James Gadson, Joey Waronker (Beck's usual drummer), and Harvey Mason. I think I remember looking at it before, when I first bought it. I've got an old Herbie Hancock album, "Headhunters" that has Harvey playing drums & it's soooo funky. I'm sure you've heard of it if u know Harvey's drumming. "Chameleon" jams like nothing I've ever heard before. If you've never heard it, check it out.
@filthyike2001 Dude, it sure does look like him. There's no mistaking that hair of his. My brother & I were watching a Beck DVD with videos on it and this vid came on and I asked myself the same thing. So I came here & was pleased to find someone else who knew who James Gadson was. Not that he isn't popular, but then again he's not that popular. A great studio musician for Donald Fagen, Bill Withers, Steely Dan, etc. Thanks for having a good eye & a good taste in music. R u a drummer?
@Chemical373g That's James Gadson, a great studio drummer who's played with the likes of Bill Withers, Freddie King, Martha Reeves, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, B.B. King, Albert King, Paul McCartney, Donald Fagen, Steely Dan, and, of course, Beck. You never know who's gonna pop up in a Beck video.
I felt a compulsion to click like button and favorite this for hundred times. I don't know how else I can express my feeling towards this song. It makes me feel in love for 3.20 minutes. Even I am not.
i listen to various kinds of music from the 80's, techno, rock, metal, heck some times scream o. but i don't normally listen to music like becks at all however just from hearing this song, I THINK I'M IN LOVE BUT IT MAKES ME KINDA NERVOUS TO SAY SO.

"WHITE HONEY" is a friggin' *understatement*. He is *THE* man with the plan. My very favorite artist, I listen to his sweet-@ss self EVERY day of my life and have for over a decade.
