Talking of Singer/Drummer duets, has anyone seen the Billy Ashbaugh and Justin Timberlake trade-off on Billy's video?

Who was that percussionist, Neil w a facelift?!
Say, in the clip's intro, the 1st kit guy is giving Weckl's left-hand a run for the money!... [Only, Weckl would've done both parts & wouldn't've needed the other guy.] [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
OKAY, JUST kidding around there folks. Sorry about the smart-axe.
Seriously...
It was allright AFA this type of thing [genre] goes...
As I was watching the clip, I was saying to myself, "very Neil-ish" [many of the licks from both guys, but esp the percussionist]. Then, they segued into the "Neil homage" section towards the end, which made sense. Befitting.
I did think it was kinda neat.
But it is funny how it's obvious anymore that the record company suits have their subordinates neck deep in the putting together & presentation of this stuff, as opposed to the orig intent of this kind of music, which was very raw, sincere, & un-corporate. Almost as if they have their own consulting firm departments in on it - "What You Need to do in a Huge, Live Pop-Rock Show Formula, Inc."... Or is it just the cynic in me. [img]wink.gif[/img]
As silly as it may sound to some, the clips I've seen of Ashbaugh & the Sync dude are not bad. Billy is a good player, of course. Even the phrasing style of the voc trades [as ] is interesting enough [aft a listen or 2, once I got past the initial shock of the kiddie contempo sound of it at first listen ;c)]. [img]redface.gif[/img] Billy makes it worth listening to for me. I'm sure a million teenage girls would disagree [img]tongue.gif[/img] ...Altho nowadays it's prob even unfashionable for teenagers to even like Sync, the way this stuff goes [changing on a dime w todays jaded & increasingly hard-to-impress-or-shock teens]...pre-teens, maybe...

LOL
Wow, I was impressed by that Godsmack video. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
And, yes, Billy Ashbaugh is a great drummer. One of the nicest people you could ever meet too. [img]cool.gif[/img]
Billy Drum Battle
Oh, I just have to add, take it easy on Justin Timberlake. Without him there probably wouldn't have been a drum battle.

The bass player kind of sucks. He can't even play "Walk This Way".
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">yeah...The bass player really looks like hes struggling. I dont like saying that a musician sucks, but he comes across as being the weakest link in that band.Quote:

And Daniel: I wont take it easy on Justin. Hes one of the many artists in today's mainstream music that drive me up the damn wall. I get aggressive just seeing and espcially hearing him.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe if his bass wasn't on the floor. He should try shortening his strapQuote:
