  • Thats right. He was the best. And like many other people in the 1930's, 1940's, singers, actors, musicians, they were all better than the garbage we have today and in recent years.

  • Plays like a man possesed. Go Gene Go.

  • @UmbrellaFitzgerald Charlie watts is nothing compared to Krupa!.

  • @adman1048 The Gene Krups Story film shows a Gene Krups that did not exist.  Gene was a kind gentlemen

  • he's no Charlie Watts

  • My favorite document.

  • @BoStevoD I'm saying that people always tend to criticize the music coming out in their own day as being somehow lesser than the music of the past. In 2050 people will be whining about how shitty the new sounds are, and wishing they could go back to the day when supposedly "real" artists like Lil' Wayne and Eminem were around.

  • What?????? What the hell are you talking about????

  • @vibra64 Gee, I wonder how people in the 30s and 40s felt about Krupa and the music of their time? Oh, right. They renounced it for supposed degenerate tendencies, preferring to hearken back to the good ol' days before all that "crazy black music" got popular.

  • @Krupa08 The video short that this was from was made years after the pot bust. Gene wasn't a pothead. By his own admission, he used it once in a while but said it just made him tired. He fully admitted to being a lush for many years. The media wanted a posterboy and he was the fall guy. Satchmo and Buddy Rich smoked pot their entire lives, but Gene still is painted as the drug addict when he never was

  • @jimbobv8 it was 1945 bonehead. He couldn't go down to your local boxstore and choose from one of 6 dozen brands of hardware like you can now.

  • @MrGodzilla90 Krupa was arrested for possession. Get "The Gene Krupa Story" or read his bio
