Unfortunately, by the time you learn this lesson...your aged eyes can't quite see all the way to the audience to notice. Pity. Taste and age...translates to music, but not to clothing.
I would have commented earlier, but I had to wait for my Grandson to come over and read the posts to me. Well poop! Does that mean I shouldn't wear my hotpants, gold chains and silver boots any longer?Mind Blowi
it wasn't charlie watt's that was bad it was the Stones
Now boys, let's not get ugly. I am not the biggest fan of the Stones either, but that doesn't mean they are good or bad. I like a lot of the toons from the Steel Wheelchair gang, especially the earliest stuff.
Now I'm gonna throw my little cup-o-gas on the fire, as long as the topic has fallen into disarray....
What about the Rhythm Devils theyownselfs, Mickey and Bill? I haven't read one word about them on this forum. Anyone even know what kits they beat? I mean, Mickey can make anything sound like a drum, just listen to some of the 90's shows with him playing the "beam". Ever watch him hammer on that thing? It makes the damnedest noise....
Stage Band2
Buddy Rich played a super classic......snare drum....does that count? :)
Dino Danelli of the Rascals
Carmine Appice in his early Vanilla Fudge days...
I was excited because I thought I had someone else for the list, someone I really like, John Densmore from the Doors. So I researched and got the specs:
1) Mod Orange from 67-71. => Awesome!
2) Downbeat. Doh!
But worthy of honorable mention at least. Someone prove me wrong and confirm he played a super classic!
A few of the more obscure...
John Weathers from Gentle Giant.
Michael Stuart-Ware from Love.
Kevin Morris from Dr. Feelgood.
oh...and Hal Blaine.
Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience - Silver Sparkle.
Don Brewer of Grand Funk Railroad (1969-1976 or later) - Red Sparkle.
One more caveat about Charlie Watts... I read an article about him back in 1971 that he spent off-time from the Stones playing London strip clubs because jazz-style R&B was his favorite. Don't know how true that was, but there was a photo of him in the article playing on stage behind an exotic dancer. Most drummers of any substance play more than one style of music to expand their timing sense.
