<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Heheh... thanks, even though I have been spelling "reckless" wrong my entire life! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'll have to look into Jason Bonham, I'm not too familiar with his playing but from what you described above it seems rock'n'roll to the max!

I can't play after one beer [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

What choo talkin' bout, CL? Reckless is spelt correctly, according to Merriam-Webster. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Hey guys,

One drummer who stands out in this "Emotion and Reckless Abandon" field, is the one who is forgotten so often !

It's Tribal tech's Kirk Covington.

To me there is no other more "intense" drummer when it comes to playing on stage.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, true... and I have been spelling it as "wreckless" this whole time! Note the many edits. [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img]

matricks, I used to be the same way... one beer would throw me off, but if you get to the 3 or 4 mark then it's a whole other ball game! [img]wink.gif[/img]

[matricks]

Yeah, same goes for pool and bowling [img]wink.gif[/img]

Hell, same goes for the girls... 4+ drinks and it's crazy how many good looking girls who weren't there before start to come out of nowhere (it's like watching the beginning of the Thriller video when Michael turns into the Werewolf, but in reverse) [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

Party till they're cute! [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good point! Now you know what I'm talkin' about. It's all about getting in "the zone". Now on your next gig, have 2 or 3 before you hit the stage and then take one up with you (not recommended for wedding or jazz gigs!). Make sure you have a nice bottle of water around too to counter balance the act. About half-way through your set you will feel and sound better than ever! [img]wink.gif[/img]

P.S. Off-topic but are you thinking about driving up for the JR clinic?

[matricks]

Oops, sorry! I edited my post and you had already copied it! Hehe, too fast for me [img]tongue.gif[/img]

What JR clinic? I didn't hear about that. I was actually just up there last Monday. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, no, no, brah, I'd advise the water diet! Plenty of time AFTER the gig to get shitfaced; may I quote Ed Shaughnessey? "I've always had too much respect for the music to play drunk."

If you're playing three sets it's water the first two and, if you're playing good, one brewski at the break before the third.

Yeah, I'm definately not saying play a gig drunk - I'm saying there's nothing wrong with playing it a little "buzzed", kinda like Jason Bonham, eh? Or did he cross the line?
