I hate watching Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa play drums. As a drummer, it's depressing how much better than me they are.

Phil Collins? Anyone who said he can't play is an idiot.

Jim, you and I might not agree on everything musical (that thing you have with Bob Dylan...I mean Damn).

This, however, is not one of them.

Although I've found that this type of statement easily marks someone who's got the musical tastes of a well trained blue plastic soap dish.

Roger -Dot- Lee, and I've found that if their tastes in music are that bad, their conversational abilities (and their intellect and personality as well) are usually at about the same level as their musical tastes.

Watching Jeff Berlin play bass is a similar experience for me. Makes me want to put my fingers into a vice!

I left out Bill Bruford because I have recent DVDs where I watch him closely, but Bruf is one of my favorites. Funny how it seems that the jazz drummers seem to be the hottest....of course, jazz, fusion and prog are very demanding anyway.

BTW, are you available for projects?
