Don't play the axe, unfortunately. I play drums and am a vocalist. I couldn't claim that I'm god's gift to drummer, but I'm alright. My favorite drummers...

My very favorite will have to always be JOHN BONHAM. There is no such thing as overrating this man. Second would possibly be BRIAN DOWNEY in THIN LIZZY. This guy is one of the must underrated drummers in history. He can play anything, he's very funky and he is simply amazing. I love MOON. I love MITCH MITCHELL. I do think sometimes ALEX VAN HALEN is amazing, and other times he's predictable. It really depends. He was at his peak IMO on 1984. Maybe having fewer drums on his kit forced him to come up with more intricate bass drum and snare stuff.

Vocalists? Well, DAVID LEE ROTH. Obviously. Also, IGGY POP. JAMES BROWN. ROGER DALTREY. PETER GARRETT. RAY DAVIES. JIM MORRISON. JOHN LENNON. Obviously, many others.

I have over 1500 CDs, so I'm always listening to something different!

Wow ! 1500 CD's thats a good collection, hey I never knew you were a Drummer until now. I also have Bonzo at the top of the Drummer tree, Keith Moon was Ace !! Alex's intro to HFT gets me everytime, but
I really dislike the guy as a person now, so he's way down my list of
favourite skin bashers !!

Peter Garrett is an interesting choice of Vocalists (being an Aussie) Ive
met that dude.. He's a tall bald bugger. Is a full on politician in Australia now. You must be a fan of the oils if you like him...

Hey you know whats funny, I originally thought I would be a drummer,
and I remember my parents thinking, oh shit, he is going to make
a lot of noise... Then I started guitar (much relief to parents)

THEN I GOT A FUCKING LOAN AND BOUGHT A 100 WATT MARSHALL
HEAD AND BOX !!!

hahahahah, took that sucker home, turned everything up to 11,
hit an open "A" chord at the second fret, and I think my parents
wished I had taken up the drums !!

I always respected good drummers, Ive met a few in my life,
one guy in particular, he could time himself to anything I played.
We used to jam and I would come out with some pretty fucked
up timing changes, and the dude would be right onto it. It
was a huge buzz playing with this guy. We could literally play
spontaneous, freshly created music together, and time it
really well.. Sometimes it was almost like he could sense
when I would throw in one of these tempo changes..
Great stuff !! That kinda connection with other musicians
is what its all about..

I hope to meet another drummer like that next year
when we get it all happening again...

I like Mitch Mitchell too...

Jimmy Page once said, "Your band is only as good as your drummer." Having a great drummer to really lock into each groove of the guitar part is the key sometimes. The Beatles needed someone like Ringo. Led Zeppelin needed someone like Bonham. It's all what the music calls out for.

Alex? Yup...he was great. But now I dislike the guy so much, it's hurt my opinion of him. That's the big tragedy of Van Halen...they were so loved by some fans. And those same fans can't help but like them less after how much they've been hurting their legacy and disrespecting those fans.

As for Peter Garrett, yeah I love the Oils. I've been listening to them since the late 80s. I've seen them live twice, front row...and they always put on an amazing show! I have all their albums, though I think the last two or three were kinda weak. But I was bummed out that he left the band a couple of years ago to go into politics. Was he a nice guy when you met him?

Mitch's intro on LITTLE MISS LOVER gets me every time. He's incredible. Check out his performance in the recent HENDRIX AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT DVD. Just unbeatable stuff. Hendrix was having a slightly off night...but Mitch was so on! His drum solo before IN FROM THE STORM was the shit!

Will do...

I also like Tommy Aldridge...

I learned guitar bass and drums from Speak Of The Devil...

Agree with Page's comments. I cant play in a band situation unless the drummer has his shit together.

Garrett took his political ambitions even furhter recently. He actually
joined up with one of the two main political parties in Oz (Currently
they are in opposition) So he disbanded the Oils for his political
ambitions..

Shit, Ive lost count of how many times Ive seen them. They
were a great band !! I actually love their really early work, it
kinda changed the band's dynamic when they went political..
Their last great album to me was 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Peter was ok.. I met him as a muso.. Was pleasant enough,
just a normal bloke. I dont agree with a lot of his political
ideas though. But, yeah, he didnt have any airs or graces..
Just a normal bloke..

Evening ELVIS ! thats so cool, Ozzy always had a good rhythm
section happening I was also influenced by his bands..

Did I tell you that Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley did some PUB gigs
here recently with Jimmy Barnes (who was once considered as
the replacement singer for Van Halen) I didnt get to see the show,
but they were billing it as "Jimmy Barnes with the Original Ozzy
Osbourne Band" hehehehe

Glad to see Lee and Bob still out there. I think Sharon screwed
them bigtime..

Did you ever hear the remakes ??????????

[scorpioboy33]

good evening pan. tell me I asked you this before but have you spoken with DLR before...is it true he comes here?

No, I have the originals, and I think I would get really pissed
off if I listened to them. Im guessing they are really bad..
(Am I right ?)

How could you rip those guys out of the mix ????
Blizzard and Diary were magic, I think anyone
who fucks with that, will get some serious
cosmic karma feedback !!!!

How could Ozzy agree to this ??
(Oh yeah, Sharon.... poor Ozzy)

I hope I never hear these tampered mixes..
Would ruin the magic..
