it just takes a certain kind of person to appreciate drum solos. some do some dont. i happen to love em. just like it takes a certain kind of person to appreciate lightning fast guitar solos. as a guitarist im not all that into the facemelting, technical, speed solos full of appregios and such. Im more of a "make every note count" solo along the lines of santana, clapton, or billy gibbons (im very partial to "bluesy" soloing).
different strokes for different folks


I often like just raw drum solos I just don't think this particular one was that inspired.

Yeah actually I just read about that on wiki. I use to use a penny because I like the metal tinge or twang it made.

Did you know Billy Gibbons is known for using a Mexican Peso ooin as a guitar pick?

My girlfriend's parents used to live next door to the elevators in Austin in the seventies. Needless to say, they've got some stories.

I didn't recognise all the musicians. Who else was there?


I think the slide guitarist was Ben Harper and the guy beside Billy Gibbons looked like Elvis Costello.
