Absolutely, I would never compare any drummer from anywhere to Al, very few bands in
the history of rock and roll have had five distinct and talented songwriters, and in
the case of BOC it went even beyond that.

Buck is one of the best and my personal favorite. Not only is he completely proficient
but his leads seem to captivate me so well, even on the Cult songs he hasn't written
his playing makes them awesome to behold, truly one of the great masters of music.
