Thought it was funny listening to Steve Smith's audio on the history of rock drumming...
he mentions interviewing Elvis' drummer...DJ...he was not into the "pop" thing at the time
but needed a gig...so he became the drummer for Elvis. There ya go...nothing new under the
sun.

Listening to Red Air, I kept thinking about Tony Williams Lifetime.
TW and that band really laid the foundation for all of this imo.
ROOTS!

Keep in mind Virg is in his mid 50's...all the more uberhuman

That one vid...page 14 was insane...I agree w/Steve, at times

Dude plays w/such jubilation. LOVE his hat sound here...caught a few other vids...same fluffy sound I dig.

Just creativity all around here...and it works!

Who cares what everyone else thinks. hmmm, not sure where that came from. not a matter of who cares, but that of sharing. I realize this forum is far to the side of a Dave Elitch over a Harold Brown...but I think it is a matter of respect and dignity...at least for me. the man paid his dues, moved ...

I am sitting here, trying to download the Porcaro interviews from the other thread and mention to the guy working on the house about this and he pauses, then says his mom is dating the drummer from WAR, Harold Brown. So I ask the HOD fam...is there interest in an audio interview here? I asked and wa...
