Negroes ripped him off on many songs. Man, you never hear how Jay Z and the rest of those fuckers ripped off the white man. Jesus Christ, there will be anarchy in the suburbs.

Frank Richards

What a great player...good interview. He was a huge influence on guys like Randy Rhoads too...

Paul Pietrzak

Leslie West is a self made guitarist much like Buddy Guy. I think his mom have him a ukulele to start with only a couple strings and he went from there. Then, he became like this master of feedback and sustain, like Hendrix. Man, Mountain played LOUD! Felix was a genius, plain and simple. He went from zero to one of the best bassists overnight. Add Lang, and they were a kick ass band. Tight. Great interview.

Leslie is a very modest man

nostalgia dude

Now when I look back, West, Bruce, and Laing was IMHO really an American version of "Cream". I remember the bluesy tunes on the two WB&L vinyls on Columbia, then listen to the Clapton/Bruce stuff on earlier recordings, and BINGO! Pappalardi clearly made his marks. Digging West on Pandora with all his blues tunes these days. With B.B. King and Stevie Ray gone, it's refreshing to hear West still playin'! (BTW 88 year old Chuck Berry should hang it up; he needs to go on a book-signing tour or something.)

He might be good player but either alcohol or drugs shurely messed his mind. You dont need that garbage to be good so stay away from that shit !

Leslie West is a fat legless piece of shit. The only thing I like about him is his guitar playing and music.

this is Musical History that will "never be forgotten" as told by legendary guitarist & founder of the super rock group of the 70's MOUNTAIN, Mr. Leslie West!

Vultures Await

Say's he played crap guitar....and then becomes one of the greatest guitar players ever. IMO top 3 when it comes to tone.

Douglas Rutherford

What a humble man. When he said he knew nothing and played crap guitar Such a genuine Man.Leslie rightly lavishes credit on Felix for the talent he was.I heard a few interviews Leslie has given and he comes across as one of the Boys someone you'd like to have as a mate. Not pretentious in any shape, way or form  

Ocean Sage

Thank you for this interview! I worship Leslie's playing now. Mountain is all. SO glad he talked about Felix R.I.P. here because I don't know much about him other than he produced Cream, had awesome bass tone and playing ability, cool lyrics and a beautiful voice. Interesting. Mountain: Leslie, Felix and Corky still haven't got proper due as legends of blues rock, hard rock and even Heavy Metal at times.

Kurt North

Incredible interview...a couple of people commenting on this are very offensive...Robert Johnson...Willie Dixon...give me a break.....

Was Felix's bass setup like Leslie's, a cranked pre-amp gain into a PA amp? Seems logical, maybe with tube & transformer mods?

Missy Victoria

Felix was the very greatest! RIP.

Richard Hunt

I only wish that someone close to the group knew exactly how Felix got his sound. I know, the gibson humbucker, the sunn amp etc., but how did he get that completely clean overdrive tone. He sounded like organ pedals on roids, just a beautiful sound, no fuzz box, no pedals.. absolutely unique and unmatched sound to this day.

These interviews are great. I sure wish somebody would do interviews of this caliber with some of the more obscure bands from this era.

Despise the lengthy, gratuitous intros.

Leslie is a modest person. I like that
