... We all have to hit our collective wa! You should do an article in Guitar Player on wa. What the hell is the wa? Imagine 100 women in a circle around you in the middle of a field and they're all going, "hey ya, nay nay ... wa!" When you all hit the wa together --- that's when music is happening. So I tell my band, I need the wa. Let's hit the wa together....James Brown visited the wa enough to put a collective conscious on it. A lot of bands have come from James Brown.
next question was:
So, you listen for melodic clues from drummers?
It is one of the most unintentionally funny interviews I've every read. I love this musician, and I understand what he was trying to say, but it is so funny you won't believe it. |
