Pleeeeeez! He needs a new name....he can't be called that! Makes me cringe everytime I read that! Desperately, trying to think of a suitably 'cool' name to replace it..!
He says you can come round and have a go on his drums and laughed at the saucepan bit, cos he actually broke the handle off one of mine once when he was doing a comedy sketch using saucepans as replacement drum kit, (Don't worry, I would lock my saucepans away while you were here and haven't got any knitting needles, phew!)
His main drumming icon is/was Keith Moon because of his performance style, as much as for his actual drumming.
Re my woffle above, I guess musical tolerance towards others is important, in the same way as it is in life, itself. I don't like all music but not everyone likes the music I do, either. So, I figure, if I respect other's efforts, they are more likely to be patient about mine and give me a fair hearing, or least not throw tomatoes...
By the way, when I use the word 'musician', I also include vocalists, sorry if I didn't make that clear. To me, their voices are one of the most valuable instruments, there are. Maybe, I should have just used words 'music lover' to mean all those who appreciate or make music in a positive way...doh!
I guess, I could have just said 'Keep Music Live' and Live and Let Live' it would have been quicker!
