'I don't really care about the stink and glory. I want to be happy, and I want to feel fulfilled in life like everybody else,' Tommy Emmanuel said.
. You can play a lot of songs in that style, but if it's going to be something on a scale of excellence, and art, and emotion, it takes time to put a complicated arrangement together, and practice it, and make it a seamless kind of thing.
Through the '70s and '80s, you played for some rock bands, before deciding to go solo. What inspired you to make that leap? That happens onstage a lot. If I tap into something wonderful. Yeah. You know, there are other times when I shout at myself to get my adrenaline up. I'll just yell"ha" really loudly, and your body releases chemicals, which are an adrenaline-type thing.Exactly. Yeah. I use it onstage. See, when, when I need a little kick, I just shout in the middle of a song.
Like for instance, if the sound is bothering me. Like last night about halfway through my show there was a distortion, and I think it might've just been in my hearing aids, but there was a sort of distortion, and it was making the bass onstage sound funny. Nothing I could do to get rid of it, if I moved over a little further, the sound changed too much. In general, if the sound is really good and I'm really in tune and all that sort of stuff, there's no stopping it.
The other thing is that YouTube wants people to comment all the time, so it's a free-for-all, and there's this whole generation of people now who think that their opinion really matters. I always say to people,"This is just my opinion, which means nothing." I always preempt it with that. Why should I walk around thinking my opinion really matters a lot? I don't walk around giving my opinion to people.
Do you ever look back at decades of being on the road and night after night after night of shows and wonder how the audience still sustains you after all these years?
