  • Nah, I think Jojo is too consistently humble to be faking. I mean, knowing your capabilities and being arrogant about them are two different things. He did an amazing interview in the newest MD where he says point-blank that expressing genuine emotion with you play is more important than any technical ability. He says that the super-technical prog rock bands are slaves to "mediocrity" because of a lack of inspiration, not lack of skill. Though, I do love Jojo's "tap-dancing" line :)

  • jojo was feeling annoying when the guy started talking about how good he was

  • What Jojo meant about his drum heroes playing kinda "wrong" was that they didn't have the best/efficient technique or played kinda sloppy or not clean. His point was that you don't need to be a technique monster or the cleanest player to make great music.

  • 0:25 The Robot has Lagged.

  • What is JoJo saying ?

    All are playing wrong but he doesnt ?

    And the moderator is saying "well we didnt see you though ..." and than hes talking about how perfekt he was ???

    I dont get it

  • "wrong"

  • The Dom!.......

  • i love the face he makes at 0:33

  • where have you seen that really?

    i wanna check it out

  • JoJo is such a great person!

  • He was not faking humility.The mention of Tap

    Dancers in the 20's is a very good observation &

    like the other guy said "nothing new under the sun

    is absolutely correct. The man doesn't have to say

    "I'm great or the best". He's just applying his God

    Given talents & probably considers himself a

    Student of the Drums....until the end!

  • Jojo is genius simply because he looks carefully around him and at nature itself and searches for the smartest ways to do something, the most productive ways. He's clever and obviously unimaginably talented. But I must say, I've been replicating his techniques and even after just a year I'm already benifiting from it. He simply plays 'smart' and naturally and it's only logical that it works.

    It's actually his musicality and 'nerve' that I admire most and which makes him my favourite musician!
