A great musician is just a thief who doesn't get caught

I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today.

Average band with a great drummer sounds great, great band with an average drummer sounds average.

There were so many individual styles thirty or forty years ago.

If you have any requests. keep them to yourselves. we don't play requests!
