He did a spoof on people being gay, and Mr T was one of them. I guess I'm showing my age.

I've probably seen it, just don't remember it... I don't remember many comedy skits past last month...

think slayers drummer has the guiness book of records for most beats per min

Ahh, a non-drummer who doesn't know what he's talking about. Are you talking single-stroke roll, double-stroke or even a buzz roll? A buzz roll just sounds like a buzz really, so how do you count the "beats per minute"? And just what do you consider a "beat"?

Think again.

Besides, fast isn't always difficult. Alternate the sticking. A fast paradiddle is much tougher than a fast single stroke roll. Or throw in all sorts of other rudiments.

Maybe if they did some instrumental stuff, I'd give it a shot.

Tarmac, Rush is sorta known for doing some instrumental stuff. Shows you aren't that knowledgeable and able to make an honest comparison, I suppose. Anyway, check out the track "YYZ" for a good instrumental.

Udie, I saw Triumph too and still kick myself for missing them at the California US festival in about 1982 or 1983 when they toured for Allied Forces. Everyone came back saying they stole that show. Triumph was good despite their drummer though, he always seemed to me to be playing behind the beat which bugs me.

That would explain the high pitched wailing, got racked in the nutz by a goat he mistook for a sheep.

Saw a Neil Peart drum solo that was amazing. No other drum solo that i've seen has come close. I've seen them five times, and usually he does his drum solo during YYZ. But I saw them in '85" at the worcester centrum, and they didnt do the drum solo during YYZ. In fact they went off the stage w/o a drum solo. I never heard a place so loud for an encore, the place was shaking, it was awesome. They played a very long encore and he did the drum solo during "red lenses". He was on a rotating stage that had three different drum sets. He plays about a 140 piece set. Drum sticks flying up into the rafters, and coming back down and catching them w/o missing a beat. It was quite a show. He was one of, if the the best, drummer of his time.

Loud too, we left the building nearly deaf.

Their radio singles just never wet my appetite to pick up any of their stuff. Maybe I'll give em a shot.

Notice how many people who claim to like Metallica can't spell Metallica

By the way I like Metilica also

Honestly, I haven't listened to them in years(early 90's) Check out some of their live stuff from the early years. I got sold on the alternative scene of the 90's (although I don't think there is such thing as popular alternative music,lol)

Yeah, I heard the singer died? It must have been low key, or I just wasn't paying attention.

Saw them in '91', they were backing up Van Halen. Great show.

I doubt that, since the singer is dead.

Yeah... I think most people on this board had no idea who Layne Staley was.

Rush has some good stuff, 2112, Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, etc. Some of the later stuff really sucks though. The singer is pretty annoying. I always used to wish my stereo had a button next to "Dolby Noise Reduction" called "Geddy Lee Voice Reduction".

Slayer's original drummer kicked ass. They are an incredible band to see live. I've never seen or heard anything like it. They still kick ass, but not quite as much. Any metal fan worth his salt should own Decade of Agression.
