Re: I,m Going Underground

News like this inevitably leads me on a little Wikipedia journey.

Not a huge Jam fan, but I didn't realize Paul Weller was so young - only 66. In fact he is only 7 years older than Simon Fowler of Ocean Colour Scene, who I think of as being an entirely different generation altogether.

I hated Jam and I hated Style Council. Nothing wrong with them but far removed from my taste in music

Yeah they slip between my musical genre tastes really, but I can recognize their contribution.

Yes of course I agree. My musical taste is very Catholic anyway, I like a Mass of stuff.

The world record for a drum solo has to be around 7 hrs.
It was some snotty little brat behind me on a flight back home once :)

Or 'catholic' perhaps. Unless you are a fan of Judas Priest, Guns'n'Rosary and/or All Saints etc.





P.S. Just teasing!

Re: I,m Going Underground

I'm sure it's just coincidence, but the amount of drummers that die before anyone else does in a band is pretty phenomenal.
Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters)
Clem Burke (Blondie)
Rick Buckler (The Jam)
John Bradbury (The Specials)
Keith Moon (The Who)
John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Neil Peart (Rush)
Jeff Porcaro (Toto)
Bob Bryar (My Chemical Romance)
Rick Allen's left arm (Def Leppard)

you can now add former Judas Priest Drummer James Les Binks to the list

But he wasn’t the first to die from the band. That would have been John Hinch, the previous drummer, with Judas Priest who died in 2021.

Oh hang on, no. David Holland was the first to die from Judas Priest who died in 2018 and was their……..drummer!!

Re: I,m Going Underground
