MD Fest 2005 Line up

[S.P]

heres the line up so far: http://www.moderndrummer.com/Festiva...estival_05.htm

looks pretty good! any idea if it will be released on dvd...i really wanna check out jo jo mayer..the videos on drummerworld.com amazed me! he is definetely under rated!

[Randy walker]

well, so far the list is not impressive enough to make me buy a ticket and fly out.
Will it be filmed? Who knows, Hudson might.

[palmerlouie]

virgil should have been on the bill.....i don't think he has done it since 1997!! if thats right, its a crime!

[S.P]

yeah not to fly out..but if i lived around the area i would definetly go i think...

[Suspiria]

Chad Smith!

I cant believe hes coming. I understand that some people may not like the Red Hot Chili Peppers but this guy is an absolute monster. I would to go...Unfortunately its not worth the traveling for me. He saw him in clinic once which was amazing. Such a hard hitter too...I hear his drum tech changes snare skins every 5 songs that they do live! Not that this is an impressive thing to do, but a fun fact nonetheless.

i dig Chad and the Peppers, but not enough to make me go.

That's not a bad line-up so far, but i def agree w RW based on the cost logic. Sounds like some others may yet be added in the days to come, though. Keep looking towards the sky [img]wink.gif[/img] ...

Chad Smith was indeed very cool w the Chilis. [But being voted "best funk drummer" is complete & utter silliness. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img] Eh, popular polls...what're ya gonna do...]

Here's what Hudson has to say about filming it:

"...we are in the process right now, of woking to make that decision...thanks for your inquiry and for your interest.."

[Groovemeister]

Well, I remember speaking to someone from MD about the filming. They had this whole schpiel about how much bother it was recording it and how it almost wasn't worth the effort mentally and financially...

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, I JUST WANT TO SEE IT!!!
