    Speaking of Maiden, Nicko McBrain has announced that he is stepping away from touring after playing in Sao Paulo today (local time). A replacement drummer will be named soon.

    His introduction with the band:

    Ritchie Blackmore is a legend. Bizarre sense of humour which goes over some people’s heads.

    I reckon it probably pisses him off that he is a much better guitarist than Jimmy Page but Page was in a better band.

    A ridiculously talented and underrated guitarist.

    Nesmith was a genius because he took the socal/texas country rock format and extended it.

    Rio builds into a bossanova groove, and uses brazillian jazz harmonies.

    What a song.

    Well it’s better than his Sunset Sam song at least

    Fuck - it took me ages to figure out what I was looking-at/listening-to - but once I clicked, I couldn't hear anything but the names... and I know the song well - to the point where I started doubting it was actually the original song being played.
    And now I've gone to listen to the original... I can't hear anything but a stream of names. God dammit.

    I’m getting through this as I get time during the day……

    When I think of Phil I think of some insanely catchy pop/rock songs, not really of him as a drummer as such.

    Pretty interesting so far. A bit sad seeing him so frail though.

    Collins is considered one of the best prog rock drummers based on his work with 1970s/80s Genesis, and heaps of drummers cite him as a major influence.

    Good enough for Robert Plant to use him on his early solo albums.

    Oh I certainly know he has the pedigree it’s just not the first thing I think of. I think of him out front of Genesis or doing his solo stuff.

    Say what you like about boomers, they creating some excellent art, and some of the post-modern self-referential stuff was good (see Basic Instinct), but so much earlier was David Allan Coe in 1974. Special credit for the Charlie Pride reference

    It's crazy to think about Austrian music in the 20th century, they were the superpower of music composition in the 18th and 19th centuries, and a lot of the important Hollywood composers came from there or were educated there. In the 20th century they had Falco and, unknown outside of central Europe, Supermax. It ain't Easy is an absolute banger though.

    May your Christmas proceed as smoothly as Bryan Ferry covering Jealous Guy.
