@oldjoad I watch this guy’s videos all the time too. There’s one other guy I find entertaining that you haven’t posted yet. but seeing that were both rockers and have some pretty similar tastes, I bet you like his channel to, Justin Hawkins. Did I guess correctly?

Yeah, Justin Hawkins is a character, too bad about his cousin he was a hell of a drummer.

Is that true about Justin being related to Taylor or just Justin kidding around?

Yeah, me, my wife and kids are all Foo Fighters Fans — one of the bands the whole family agrees on (none of them like Zeppelin!!! The first rock album I bought at like 5 years old was Zeppelin III and to this day, I still think that was a great choice). Totally heartbreaking to lose Taylor. He was so very likeable besides doing a great job on the kit. I feel bad moving on to his replacement, but Josh Freeze is a killer drummer. It was terrible to lose Taylor, but Josh does an incredible job. Drumming was once my thing. Although I’m a total wannabe guitarist. I can’t even attempt a real one anymore due to tendinitis, even though I still never sold the few that I own. Grohl himself, when you listen to his work with Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age, really knows how to play just the right grooves and fills for the song. No one could have played the parts better than he did in his drumming with either band. “No One Knows” (Queens of the Stone Age) is pure perfection, as is Grohl’s drumming with every Nirvana track. I think it’s at the level of importance Bonham was with Zeppelin. I don’t think Foo Fighters drumming is quite at the same level TBH, it’s more just straight ahead and loud. Nirvana has attitude with the aggression.

But wait, The Cars. Loved them. The lead guitarist didn’t get enough credit. The tunes were just concise and perfect pop rock with a hint of punk. I totally dug them back when they were a hot new band and still enjoy hearing that stuff today. Just good old-fashioned rock and roll.
