Transcript

00:00Hey, I'm Gary Young. I'm a musician, I play the drums, and I was the first drummer for

00:13Pavement.

00:20In rock and roll, Gary's a crazy character you don't see anymore. You'll probably never

00:25see a character like Gary ever again.

00:27He's a really unique drummer and totally hilarious performer.

00:31He's this guy that did acid 365 times when he was 16.

00:38He made Pavement unusual and one of the reasons why we got noticed.

00:42I was 40 and they were 20.

00:45He was a huge fan of progressive rock, playing with these lo-fi kids.

00:50Being in bands his whole life, he was amazed that people really liked us.

00:53I said to them, I think this is a noise.

00:59All fame and no fortune.

01:01I never thought it was going to go anywhere, to be honest.

01:04With Slanted and Enchanted, Pavement truly explode.

01:07They start getting called a new Nirvana.

01:14When he was on fire on the drums, there was nobody better.

01:17Not only could he play the drums, but he put on a hell of a show.

01:20He had this mindset that you had to create tension for the band to be great.

01:36I think he thought that the show was about him.

01:39We didn't know how to deal with it.

01:42Things started going downhill with him and Pavement.

01:45Gary called me up and said,

01:47Hey, I'm doing music again.

01:49What?
