You know Jim has been crazy this week, and I’m taking the reigns. So I don’t care if he likes it or not, but a 4:30 Video seems to be just the ticket to make it through the rest of the day this week! So without further adieu the Red Rocker himself…
Join the Madness

Does this mean you’ll be enjoying a snifter of small-batch anejo this evening?
It did not, but I can pretty much guarantee I will be this summer!
I’ll take a Glencairn glass full of Cabo Wabo over 5 minutes of Sammy’s music any day of the week.
Be thankful it wasn’t “Van Hagar”! 😉
Good point! Van Halen without David Lee Roth is like Led Zeppelin without John Bonham. At least Led Zep had the good sense to call it quits after Bonzo died.
I wish the Who would have done the same. Where I think Bonham was replaceable, The Who without Keith Moon is really unlistenable.
C’mon Don, what about Eminence Front? 😉 I loved Moon-era Who, but they weren’t too bad without him. Saw them in 1980 here in Denver and they rocked with Kenney Jones. I will concede that they were a different band without Moon, just a different vibe.
True, I don’t hate Eminence Front, is a matter of fact I kind of like it, nice syncopation. But I prefer the syncopation to be with the percussion integral to the music. Take for example Magic Bus, that is probably probably one of the most rhythmic syncopated percussion songs The Who has ever produced. In many ways Eminence Front is very similar, but you loose that percussion as a key component. Well, I’ve probably droned on too long here, this isn’t Beer and Music brothers after all, but my point was that I think Keith Moon was far more integral to the sound of The Who and much more irreplaceable than Bonham ever was.
That will NEVER happen on this blog!
See G, either way you are supporting the Red Rocker! I assume you did know that Sammy owns Cabo Wabo.
But of course. 🙂
I just can’t stand that guy. Besides, he can’t drive 55.
Oh, you just gotta relax and kick back, have a margarita or six and let the music flow over you.
