C'est possible cher ami,  though NOT, I think any of those I mentioned...

Yet more immortal flailing - you could SEE it with the perspex kit that he
used!

See above... but I've seen enough drummers that wasted too much time
pratting about with a load of unnecessary kit instead of actually playing
to have some sympathy with that comment!!!

And, Doug, BASTARD maybe, but friendly with it - not my fault I grew up in
Britain in the '70s *g* Aaah, the nostalgia: Groundhogs circa "Split", Man
& Iceberg et al on the "Up For The Day" tour, VdGG with their equipment
always breaking down, Alex Harvey holding an audience in the palm of his
hand... UFO with Schenker in a club the size of an American suburban living
room (I'll stop now before the rest of my hair falls out *GGG*)

Love & Peace maaaan,
