Re: Show 149 - NO!

"Either we'll succeed, or we won't succeed. And the definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not no violence." --George W. Bush, on Iraq, Washington, D.C., May 2, 2007

Really? I always thought that Ringo Starr was a really underrated musician. I've read a lot of articles by drummers that say he had the most amazing back beat of anyone in the business.

"Although some have tried to downplay his contributions to the band, Starr's unique drumming style played a major role in the overall sound of The Beatles. To this day, many drummers list Starr as a major influence including Max Weinberg of The E Street Band, Liberty DeVitto of Billy Joel's band, Phil Collins, Andy Sturmer of Jellyfish, and others. According to Collins, Ringo is "vastly underrated. The drum fills on "A Day In The Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' They wouldn't know what to do." Lennon, McCartney and Harrison have all said that Ringo was the best rock and roll drummer in the world."

Any of you skins players want to comment?

Aah Keithie, you take me too seriously. All I meant was any Joe in a bar can sing his vocal songs. Oh that flat voice....here's a list -

Honey Don't
You're Sixteen
Octopuses Garden
Goodnight Vienna
Back off Boogaloo
Snookeroo
Photograph
No No Song

His prowess and influence on the drum kit is without question I agree..

and no, I did not get the B off B joke, the video confused me. I read about a McCartney reference, and I see that it is a reference by Tommy Bolin (or Marc Bolan can't remember which). Sure sounds like Tommy Bolin's slide on that song. Please fill me in my good man...
