Re: the drum dialog. This guy is an entertaining show-off. Never heard him with a band tho.

I only did it once, but it worked for my voice singing live. Werewolves of London, Warren Zevon cover. Basic beat but throw in singing and it's extremely difficult. That's why you don't see that many drummers that sing.

Tool's Four-six & two is nuts to drum and sing to live as a drummer. Danny Carey is top notch but doesn't sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FssULNGSZIA

6 strings or 4 strings on a fret board is kind of trivial. Same with keys. There's so much more to drums than people realize. There are simple drummers link Ringo, which is more my style. Over complicating it can be annoying. But when a top notch drummer nails it, I don't think anyone realizes how long and hard they had to work on that.

The 10,000 hour rule doesn't work on drums. You need at least 30-50k hours to be considered good. Learn different styles. Different drum set ups. I'm a C+ drummer if you were to grade me. Not great not bad. Good studio work. But I tended to have too much fun at live shows is all I'll say.

Yeah, REM…

Massive librard. Also so overplayed that I can't stand his music anymore anyway.

He was overplayed 30+ years ago. But give the man technical props.

Now the most overrated band.

If not for Tony Banks and Peter Gabriel, nobody would know who Phil Collins is.

He hit big with his solo career because Miami Vice, he had that Miami Vice chic thing going, so that show brought him along and propelled him into his solo career post Genesis.

Not up everyone's alley but they sometimes vibe like the Pink Floyd of prog metal. Growls turn people off, but I love the drums and bass.

The comments are a hoot. E.g., "Ah, you play guitar in a band? Are you lead or rhythm?"
"Yes."

I sent that to the members of the band. They hated Samantha Fish's "War Pigs." Go figure - now I punish them.

The Shaggs - as if anyone would shag them.

Decades later, I'm sure Liz Phair discovered this album and used it for her inspirational lo-fi album "Exile in Guyvile." "Fuck and Run" sounds a lot like this shit.
