Eruption in the Canyon

[FORD]

Bonzo actually had credits on every Zeppelin album. But not on every song. As one might expect, his name usually ends up on the songs where the drums were an important part of the song's foundation. (or in other words, Moby Dick & D'yer Maker, yes. Going to California, no.)

Drummers get screwed usually. They physically work the hardest. They are the foundation the rest of the band is built on. But they get screwed because they usually don’t write the music or the lyrics. Niel Peart was the smart drummer. He wrote all the lyrics and he gets the publishing royalties.

It's a damn good thing Neil was a lyricist. Rush's first album was pretty damn good, musically speaking. But the lyrics were so goddamned generic, Hagar could have written them. John Rutsey getting diabetes (and being unable to tour) was the best thing that ever happened to that band. Other than that, I doubt they would have ever been known outside of Canada (and a few places south of the border who listened to Hoser FM radio on occasion like I did). And probably about as relevant now as April Wine or the Headpins.

Yeah. I agree. Bands are like cooking. One ingredient can make the difference between something fabulous or something not that great. Also many bands are good for an album or two but they can’t maintain. They shoot a huge load and they can’t get it back up.

Explosion in the Canyon would be a good name for a porno.

There was a dvd compilation of Christy Canyon clips titled Cummin' Round The Canyon...perhaps Explosion In The Canyon could be a follow-up.

It never ceases to amaze me how much of a hot mess prick EVH is.
