Yeah, Harkan, I had forgotten about Jon Theofore; good pick. Also, could anyone give me a couple Zeppelin songs where Bonham transforms into jesus? I have 1 2 and 4 and, though I admittedly am no Zeppelin fan, I have never thought Bonham was any better than Ward or Grohl.

i know they're invariably the biggest fucking nuisances in the studio..

having said that a significantly disproportionate amount of my mates are drummers.. the best of the lot has a lot of respect for a guy named adam deitch..
