Imagine were it Dennis on the original Heavy Metal Bebop instead of Terry. Terry's playing was great, but Dennis runs that shit hard. Damn.

We walked up to Conseco in Indianapolis without tix. Scored 13th row center. They were on fire that night, Alex and Eddie were right there. So much energy coming off the stage.

I like Tom's sens of humor !!! :D :D :D :D Thanks, Rodge! I'm... not for everyone, I guess. I honestly don't remember what got me blocked but I'm sure it was me attempting a joke that he didn't like or misconstrued as me just being a dick (which, I kinda am). It is a shame, because I did like a lot...

Listened to this a lot when it came out, it's pretty out, but worth a listen.

You can hear a little of that in this OLJ tune.

That sounds like a really fun gig. Alex had his shit together on that first album. Live he was intense! Went looking for some old VH. He really did raise the bar IMO. Musical and super powerful. I don't know many drummers that were approaching the drums this way in 78. Neil maybe. https://www.vhnd.c...

RIP Lee Kerslake...

Dude's been through so much.

I took away some good advice on what not to do with data management!
