mountain bed Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Bill Bruford tops the list in Rock for me. Mr. H has a very fine list. I'd add Trilok Gurtu in there as well, Mike. I saw him play with McLaughlin and I was STUNNED. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 David Narcizo (Throwing Muses) i remember first seeing The Muses and being astonished at the almost complete lack of cymbals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Brian Blade Yeah, this guy is astonishing. I'd add Trilok Gurtu in there as well, Mike. I saw him play with McLaughlin and I was STUNNED.I saw him with Mclaughlin, too. Must've been 1990, or so. Very unorthodox playing style. I had forgotten about him, but I'll keep an eye out for thigns he plays on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plumplechook Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Keith Carlock absolutely blew me away when I saw him playing with Steely Dan last year. One of the best all round drum performances I've seen. His playing was inspired throughout - but most especially on Aja where he totally nails the famous Steve Gadd drum fills towards the end of the song: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I've been listening to so much jazz, I'm almost embarrassed I forgot Mr. Nick Mason! Just finished re-watching Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii for the first time in ages, and man, dude was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DewieCox Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 if there ever was another Zep reunion show, I'd love to see him sit in. Gotta be Bonham and if not him and we can dream...Steve Gorman. Grohl is pretty great(especially with QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures) but has been kinda embarrassing with his recent takes on Zeppelin.

tinnitus photography Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 These lists always try to be somewhat inclusive, and it just comes off really poorly. When was the last time Spin covered any jazz or experimental music? I am all for people like Corsano, Bennink or Baron getting some press, but ranking them where they landed is a fucking abomination. Yeah, Chad Smith or Sheila E or Mike Bordin are better. Fuck off, Spin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The laughing fan-boys in the audience do themselves no favors - although some of it may be nervous laughter.Hell, I thought it was quite amusing. You guys ever see any of his interview stuff from the "Farewell Concert"? It's somewhat similar. Not everyone is Mr. Congeniality like Sir Paul. I kinda dig that he just doesn't give a fuck what anyone there thinks, and is brutally frank - "I did it for the money", etc. Kinda refreshing imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
