I was reading a thread on another forum about Packer season ticket holders and profit making and got to wondering how many on here had season tickets or their family has some. Is it still the same wait for tickets? It of course was a pretty heated thread with all kinds of traitorous crap being thrown around...even Fuzzy was slandered. :lol:

He waited to long and should have just thrown it away.....but at least he hung onto the damn ball. Sometimes it better to take a safety.

Can't really disagree (argument could be made for peart), though stephen morris is my fav.

Great drummer, human metronome....and then stepped out from behind the drums and created the famous programmed drum beat in history.

Peart is fantastic and I have always loved Rush.....never listened to all that much New Order..? I'll check some out...recommendations?

Ty hates Rush, but acknowledges Peart as being a great drummer.

Morris: Actually start with Joy Division (only 2 cds). For New Order you'll want to check out their first singles Everythings Gone Green and Temptation...First album was Power, Corruption and Lies. Greatest rock disco band of all time.

You'll see how he went from drummer to drummer/programmer.

JD:

Most famous song - Love Will Tear Us Apar - robotic drumming...machine like, yet so many can't do it or even get the sound : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yTIpcwBTTs

Spartan hook - She's lost control: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPirCH2f2PQ&feature=related

or live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVc29bYIvCM

New Order:

Everythings Gone Green - Transition from JD to NO. Awesome pyschedelic. Live perf at Ukranian Theater in NYC.

Temptation - Same Venue -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6bEAsmBSss

Confusion - Working with Arthur Baker, if you don't know who he is..google him. Major club hit...with the early hip hop crowd for a bunch of english guys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iKyPMXQb5o&feature=PlayList&p=3CF126D2E7F5F7B5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=21

Blue Monday - the single that started a thousand copycats - Yes, that is the bassist whacking the "drum" before he takes over as lead bassist (hook is a great bassist)..morris is on the synth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTb2rZ0SBg4

Perfect kiss: Probably the one their greatest songs. Great performance vid directed by Jonathan Demme (new order always had great vid directors). Watch Hook, you think it is guitar..and it is him on bass...about 5 minutes in he stops bass and is playing "drums"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWn0FjYSazU

Lemme know what you think.

P.S. Live, NO were very hit or miss, especially early on...not a confident band...i caught early shows where they had their backs to the audience.

The funny thing about that is how he got in that position. Clearly a white guy. He looks like he jumped off a cliff or something.

[bobblehead]

Was a pretty smart chimp.

In the true spirit of a message board:

How can you possibly say he was pretty smart. Dude was an effing moron. sure he could count to three and shit, but clyde, the chimp from "every which way but loose" was far superior. Clyde could do hand signals for left and right turns, hit on that hotty Eastwood always did movies with, and then down a cold one at the local pub. Bonzo...pfffttt.

[Zool]

Resizing pics...its a good thing. anything over 640x480 should be given a resize tag.

[MJZiggy]

You might want to post the code so folks know how to tag it properly...Maybe that should be posted permanently somewhere, some tips & tricks thread or something in a room where you can find it.

[sheepshead]

Keith Carlock and Ansley Dunbar deserve mention. Actually Ringo was terrific at keeping the beat and rather innovative. Do throw on some headphones and key in on Bonham some time--truly amazing.

Since Peart was NOT the original drummer for RUSH, your sarcastic comparative is inaccurate.

Sure, but Rush without Peart and Rush with Peart are two completely different animals!

For example, compare "In the Mood" off the first album (More Cowbell!!!) to "Cygnus X-1 Book Ii" off Hemispheres and tell me they are in any way alike.

Give Skin time.

[Fritz]

Here:

A good safety is like a prog rock drummer. He sets the beat, he keeps the team in a rhythm, and if he's really good he can stand out by being particularly deft (Peart/Collins) or by being a thumper (Bonham/Lott).

See? It's a football thread now!

[KYPack]

I'm sure Skin is a big fan of these masters of the skins.

How about the drummer's drummer, Hal Blaine?

Too ancient a reference for you boys?

[Fritz]

Of course I do! Hal's trademark lick was a quarter-note triplet played on two toms simultaneously, typically played during the out chorus of a song.

Just kidding. That was from Wikipedia.

I saw King CRIMSON in the early 80s and bought my way in to the hall to watch warm ups.....I was just mesmerized by Fripp practicing...you talked about the drummer that was "the human metronome" well Fripp was just robotic while practicing. I have to say I have never heard another guitar sound like Fripp would produce with his synth guitar.

[Rastak]

I go all the way back to Greg Lake....

[Fritz]

It was Palmer who was the drummer, Ras.

I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer at the old Olympia Stadium in Detroit. Girl in front of us on the main floor was stoned out of her gourd on god-knows-what, wailed the whole time.

And then they didn't play Karn evil 9. I was too stoned to be bummed, though.

Yep. the guys is a serious freak. I saw crimson as well. Ty actually had The Court back in 7th...around 78 or so.

Have you done any research on him..the alternative tuning? In a way he is like Zappa...i know he is really, really smart..but, sometimes it is just too smart for me and i don't really enjoy it. Think of the king in Amadeus "too many notes".

I had, years ago...the stuff he did with Andy Summers. He also was in the League of Gent with sara lee...who was the bassist in Gang of Four and later toured with the B-52s.

That is why i appreciate him..he isn't stuck in the past, playing with the same old prog rockers in "new" bands like asia, etc. He is out there with Blondie, David Byrne, Eno, and David Sylvain (japan...another hugely influential new wave/new romantic band).

His wife was a punker...talk about different gens.

Watching fripp brought back memories of my stern piano teacher making me do scales for hours on end. Precision, precision, precision. :cry:

But I thought this thread was about drummers...or safeties.

Wait, Wasn't Carnell Lake a safety? For King Crimson?

[Rastak]

So who is/was an NFL player but was also a good drummer? Gotta be a couple out there.

[Fritz]

My subtlety is lost on you, Ras.

I connect drummers to safeties. I call up old school references, I immediately connect them to football players like Carnell Lake.

I'm a magician, I'm a writer, I show you this, you see that.

Try staying with me, Ras.

Ty hasn't seen 30 for almost 14 years. But, i'm blushing girlishly that my posts had you thinking i was that young.

Experiences: don't get started on baroque cantatas...ty will go on all nite.

P.S. Virtue of growing up in a family whose parents only listened to classical and opera....ty's dad after chicago symphony..."philip glass is a jackass". Ty's dad after another listless nite at the MSO, "schemerhorn is useless."

The most modern music they played: Mom...dixieland jazz, Dad...occasionally when feeling ebullient Spyro Gyra, but ty believes that was only because, like dad they were from buffalo.

Sigh. The good ol' days. Driving with the parents, listening to WFMR. "Your public contributions keep WFMR providing, you the listener."....ty silently, stoically dying in the backseat.
