i met mike gordon last night after his show w/ leo in CT. really a genuine guy http://community.webshots.com/user/webbie9117 check em out the show was so chill and authentic...such a nice contrast from trey's new pop vh1 video peace
i didnt know trey is all vh1 like now...thats lame looked like an awesome show! thats such an interesting bass that mike was using...i saw leo early this year, but he wasnt with mike...i would love to see mike play with him someday
Yeah Mike's cool as shit. I met him at Bonnaroo just walkin around the vendors area. He was pretty pissed of at me though for yelling at the top of my lungs, "Holy shit! It's Mike Gordon!"
yeah, i can see why he'd be disturbed! ;p Try the shake hands and "thank you for what you do" approach. He and Page were the last ones to give up the mill around before the show with fans routine. If every one of 7000 people wants a piece of your time, that's a lot of energy dispelled, energy better spent on a stage, IMHO. I try to keep away unless invited even in small scenes. Luckily, I have some perma-invites from some folks and I am willing to do massage and reiki work pre and post show.
mike is the man. he is so beautifully mellow. he has this vibe that is so, pleasing. he calms ya down, and then blows your mind with funk....i always dig that guys presence....
LEO KOTTKE for president. By far the coolest musician in the galaxy. Mike Gordon with him is even better to! I gotta see em in Lawrence, KS...played some very impressive music there. Mike Gordon with the Benevento Russo Duo is my fave though. Those guys can PLAY.
