The Doobie Brothers, Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons at Noise11.com

OMG Pat's pained facial expressions when the subject of Skunk came up is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I can't stop watching it.

[rjj-uu]

THESE TWO MEN ARE MY FAVORITE MUSICAL BAND LEADERS OF MY LIFETIME!!!

[LoveLady-wneg]

As I'm listening to them talk, Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, it makes me realize that it's a good thing that they're still friends after all these years. (1970)
They didn't let time or anything else get in the way of their friendship.
And I notice when watching these fine men, that you can tell it's give and take with them.
When Tom talks, Patrick is politely silent.
And when Patrick talks, then Tom is equally polite, in a brotherly respect.
This is what perfect balance looks like in a friendship.
I am very happy for these men, and The Doobie Brothers. 
Play on boys! (affectionately)

Tom J is the backbone of the DBs and Handled the addition of Mac gracefully

[stephanieburroughs]

I could listen to you all
Day and all night. #doobiebrothers50

[John-pjo]

One of the greatest American bands ever assembled.

Saw the doobie bros play at Bourbon and Beyond last night and they were phenomenal. I knew these guys were rock legends but I wasn’t prepared to be that blown away. Pat especially is one hell of a guitar player.

[minhajhassan]

this was a great interview. Thanks so much

[terrencewalsh]

thanks fellas saw you in Perth West Australia brilliant

[wendytinnes]

“Just cause you know how to play a wa-wa pedal…”. Lmao. Exactly Patrick. You’re a funny dude. I love these interviews.

These two guys (Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons) are both my favorites in the Doobie Brothers! Michael McDonald is also great, too. I have been a fan of both versions of the Doobies!

[jamescarter]

I'm glad things are still going well for them, but when I want to listen to the Doobie Brothers, I always reach for one of their first five albums. Those are still fantastic albums!

[loontil]

"...did our first record, which went plywood..." : Gold.

[DonDixit]

Thanks for straighten that out Pat!
Finally a clear view on the alleged Skunk = Defense specialist rumor (read: nonsense)

[rjj-uu]

HAS TOM JOHNSTON EVER GIVEN PATRICK SIMMONS THE CREDIT HE DESERVES FOR HIS INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP, VOCALS AND

[DonDixit]

Talking "noise". You guys are difficult to follow, mostly because of a background noise. At 16, 35 (new take) it disappears

[SouthWest]

When Mcdonald was there it was like doobies were his back up band. I like the rock n roll doobies not the adult contemporary mike Mcdonald Era.

[jameskeyes]

What's with the sound on this? Was it taped in a bathroom? Get your shit together. Very hard to hear. And what's with Pat's reaction to Skunk's working with the government. Lots of resentment there. Do they not get along? They are both really nice guys who lot of good work. I saw them 4 times in Kalamazoo, MI back in the 70s. Excellent shows.

[rjj-uu]

I TRULY BELIEVE PAT HAS WANTED TO CHOKE OUT TOMMY FOR YEARS, DUE TO HIS DIRESPECT!!!

[FBDerringer]

Tom Johnston, best voice for the Doobies. Michael McDonald…well…not so much. Sorry, just don’t get it.
