Ah, yes ... the latest news that you have now become so dependent on here at GN2. I can just imagine what Nigel Tufnell thinks about this ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marty DiBergi: Now, during the Flower People period, who was your drummer? David St. Hubbins: Stumpy's replacement, Peter James Bond. He also died in mysterious circumstances. We were playing a, uh... Nigel Tufnel: ...Festival. David St. Hubbins: Jazz blues festival. Where was that? Nigel Tufnel: Blues jazz, really. Derek Smalls: Blues jazz festival. Misnamed. Nigel Tufnel: It was in the Isle of, uh... David St. Hubbins: Isle of Lucy. The Isle of Lucy jazz and blues festival. Nigel Tufnel: And, uh, it was tragic, really. He exploded on stage. Derek Smalls: Just like that. David St. Hubbins: He just went up. Nigel Tufnel: He just was like a flash of green light... And that was it. Nothing was left. David St. Hubbins: Look at his face. Nigel Tufnel: Well, there was... David St. Hubbins: It's true, this really did happen. Nigel Tufnel: It's true. There was a little green globule on his drum seat. David St. Hubbins: Like a stain, really. Nigel Tufnel: It was more of a stain than a globule, actually. David St. Hubbins: You know, several, you know, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.

Let's not forget Joe "Mama" Besser, who met the same untimely end. ;D

He said 'What do you mean we're actors?'
'I'm not f***ing having that', and walked off.

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of this Gallagher. I could imagine him making an instructional video on how to play the drums with the " Sledge-O-Matic" That's right, no more sissified drumsticks for a real drummer. Let the people know you can really put some feeling into your songs. No more struggling to be heard over the other band members. And hecklers would think twice (even thrice) before casting aspersions on your band. Oh and the " Sledge-O-Matic"? It goes up to twelve!! That's right it's the " Sledge-O-Matic" - get one today. ("Sledge-O-Matic" guitar picks sold separately.)

That's the first thing I thought of as well.
I struggled to connect a Sledge-O-Matic to;
a Spinal Tap for record(ing) drummers (SpIDI protocol?).
a Guiness' Book Of Records entry for the most Spinal Tap(s) record for/to drummers (oh, so that's how they keep them going (and going, and going....),
a search for inspiration?
Oh yeah, just read the post..............

I hadn't even thought of that Gallagher! Did you read about his interview, in the wiki link? Seems like a bitter melon man! DD
