Dancer - SMBJones

Backing Vox - Tillie, Rosie H and Daizie (wearing only Aviator sunglasses and a sheet of Bacofoil)


Keef and Mike P - Roadies.


Hugenot and HAL9000 - sit up front and take turns driving the van.

Mockney, I really have to pull you up on the Phil Collins thing. His drumming has never been more than workmanlike as far as I can tell. I challenge you to name a Genesis track which will change my mind.


Not a big Lars Ulrich fan, he certainly hits the drums hard, but there's no flair, subtlety, or inventiveness. I guess their music doesn't really call for it though.


Everett Morton from The Beat... now there's a drummer. Stewart Copeland. Mitch Mitchell. Brooks Wackerman.

Drummer - Topper Headon. In Westway To The World, the rest of the The Clash gave the credit for the band being able to adapt to a number of styles down to Topper's ability.


Vocalist has to be Robert Plant - surely rock'n'roll is all about excess.

Not sure I agree there is no inventiveness, but I can't argue about subtlety. Still, I guess this is always going to be influenced by the music we listened to when we were yoots.


Agree that Copeland is a brilliant drummer. Nice guy too.

I'd have at least changed at least a couple more notes - to be on the safe side. The question is, with it being on CBeebies, would it really be worth suing for the ?20 of royalties?

You can?t for a moment suggest that he is some sort of one trick pony. If you look at Metallica?s music over the years he has been extremely versatile shown heaps of individuality in adapting and switching between styles.


Not that I care. Give me Battery or Damage Incorporated any day of the weak.

Drummers eh! Ooomph flap, ooomph flap, oomph flap. Unless you're Billy Cobham or Keith Moon and all over the blinking kit like a lunatic it's pretty much about keeping the back beat like a metronome and let's face it for the most part this is about rock n' roll isn't it? So, ooomph flap, oomph flap, oomph flap it is then.

Mockey... so "Los Endos"... you're right I don't like the song, it's effects-soaked nothingness.


But yes, there is some nice drumming in there. I was impressed with the rolls on the bell of the ride.


"Best drummer ever" though? Not even close. That accolade might have to go to Buddy Rich. Not really someone I'd listen to, but for pure ability, he's hard to beat.

I'm on holiday this weekend so what am I even doing looking on the forum? I haven't got time for this but just wanted to chip in and say that for bass playing and all round GOD LIKE GENIUS, you couldn't do any better than John Paul Jones. He would be my first choice. Like Keef, I'm also a big Jeff Beck fan so I would go with him too. Or Slash. Or Jimmy Page. Dave Grohl would have to be in my band - but there again he would be way too exhausted to play drums. I'd wear the little cutie out. John Bonham was Dave Grohl's hero so I think that basically what I've just done is reform LedZep. But that's a good idea right? Plus I've already got the T shirt so that's one less thing to worry about.

    • You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless. The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it,  (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates.  That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money. If you cannot find the leak  inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility.  Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.  
    • Thank you to everyone who do drop off food while they were casting their votes, thanks also to those who enquired about volunteering. It doesn't have to be an election day though to do either though, so we would be grateful to receive donations and additional volunteer help any other day of the year too. We have also just added another string to our bow, and are now re-homing unwanted electricals too, so if you have any unwanted small electricals lurking at home that we can re-home, please drop them off to use to. We only ask that they are clean and working.  we will PAT test them and assuming all good, we will find a new home for them. The Community Fridge website has details, along with a wealth of other information Best wishes Steve Albrighton Community Fridge w: albrightoncommunityfridge.org i: albrighton_community_fridge_   
    • Hello, TW installed ours in SE27 in October 2023, unprompted too. We just got a note through the letterbox informing us of the switch to smart meter and its serial number, after it was done. 
    • I've recently moved into East Dulwich. I transferred my Thames Water account to my new address, and I  have received my bill for the year. But now I've received an email from them saying they'll be out on the 8th to fit my new smart meter, which was unrequested by me. I can probably refuse but I wanted to check here if perhaps there was a TW campaign to get these installed in the area? Thank you.
