jakenewmanbass Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) There are people that don't like him, I'm not 100% smitten, but there's no denying he's good. My point is when you get up close to these guys you get a real sense of their talent, energy and skill. Which in my experience is always awe inspiring.

Pat Torpey (Mr Big drummer) once said: "No matter how good or bad drummers can be, I always learned something from them. Whether this be a complex pattern or a simple beat." thought it was a good sentiment and have since used this outlook in my playing experience. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it completely mesmerising to see the talent the guy has...and by christ if I look that good at his age i'll be very happy! Ona seperate note, his drummer.....24, staight outta compton ( i'm sure theres a song there!!) and mind blowing....I have NEVER seen anything like it, give teh guy a few more years and he'll be untouchable. Anyroadup, Top night, came away truly humbled, but bloody well inspired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humility is a great learning tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
