Did we already talk about the white Gretsch kit? It seems to have obviously Vinnie's Signature on the badges, so I think, that this kit is the white kit, which he played before the Ludwig era. The changed the black hardware, put the chrome hardware on it and voilà: VC plays a new kit. Its a complet...

I feel Steve Smith has a much more tangible respect for Buddy than she does, I am sorry to say. Some friends of mine played with Dave at the BR tribute at Ronnie Scott's late last year, they said that Gregg was just a horrible man to be around. Apparently Cathy was taking the piss about how his tim...

Great, I'm glad to hear that. Not that you wouldn't do a great job of it. It seems that his social media presence has...

Shannon will join TOTO for their announced 2017 dates called 'and evening with'. That's awesome. Love him with TOTO. 8-) But to me he's Toto's drummer now, I don't think we'll see Keith with them anymore, but hey, you never know, we'll see.
