Not exactly true. There is an ORIGINAL member of the group still alive. George T Babbitt. If you were to meet him you had better salute him too! In 1998 George played drums with the Ventures just before his retirement.

@@jeffreymcfadden9403As far as I understand there is no clear ”original drummer”. In the beginning they used whoever was free at the moment for their recordings, and live performances, and the first one who stayed with them for a longer period was Howie Johnson, so I guess he is the closest one to be called their original drummer.

He was indeed great. True, he isn't widely recognized as one of the greatest, but so many who are recognized as such are often wildly overrated (I won't mention names, but I'll say this, for every fabricated "king of blues/rock" there are a dozen amazing true artists under the radar). So I'm fine with knowing and loving him for all these years, without him having a spot on some Rolling Stone list etc.

They're from the 60's and sounded like no one else at the time and their music was played well into the 80's on the radio. Now it's like they never existed. This is why youtube was invented!

I was born in 80 and this was def my parents music. Even through the 90s and all the retro stuff over the years, I never came around to it. But for some reason today at 43 years old I just decided to do a ventures dive and man, it is impossible to not feel happy while listening to these guys. I'm also a guitar player and maybe I'm just coming around to more of the cleaner tone stuff (definitely a metal and hard rock guy), but purely from a guitar standpoint, this is as classic as guitar tone gets.

The first time I ever heard of ventures was when I was a kid growing up in Sri Lanka in the late sixties. The guitar music was magical and I fell in love with their mesmerizing music ever since. 50 years later I still get goosebumps every time I hear ventures. There's no other band in the world like them. Shadows come close but for me ventures are the best and always remain the very best of the instrumental bands ever. It's extremely sad that all the band members are gone 😢
