Didja know he played a brief solo on the Roger Daltrey song "Under a Ragin Moon"?My favorite drummer is Stewart Copeland.
ps. sorry if I'm hijacking your metal thread...

I am not aware of it. Thanks for the link. It is not my thread it is for whoever enjoys the music.Didja know he played a brief solo on the Roger Daltrey song "Under a Ragin Moon"?

Just to keep this thread alive, I'll spam a bit...
When I started playing, I'd subscribed to Modern Drummer, and often bought albums based on something said by the people being interviewed. By the end of high-school, I'd assembled a collection of pretty bad albums; turns out noteworthy drummers aren't a reliable benchmark for good music
This realization came crashing home one day at college. I'd gone to buy a shirt or some pants, and was in a mall elevator heading up to the top floor of K-Mart (I think). Over the muzak system comes a song from one of my favorite groups at that time, Chick Corea's Elektric Band. I owned the album, and was actually horrified that the store considered one of the tracks on it lame enough to get people to buy clothes.
I'm not joking when I say it actually hurt a little. The band truly is amazing, and even today the members are world-famous and considered legendary. Nonetheless, I actually went and listened to the album when I got home - and I realized just how bad some of it sounded. It WAS worthy of K-Mart if you didn't understand what was going on musically.
That was the moment I started distancing myself from Rush and a bunch of the prog rock / fusion I'd grown to idolize. I don't mean to insult these genres or anyone who still likes/loves 'em; I still go back to both from time to time. Still, it's a style of music where you can get so wrapped up in what's happening that you stop listening to it like the average person.
For anyone who's interested, below are two cuts from the band in question. Don't listen to the second one, because it's one of their finest, and is still a favorite of mine, and really doesn't sound like muzak at all. The audience goes nuts when they play it live today, because the soloing and technicality are off the charts.
Listen to the first one, for laughs, because I believe it's the song that sorta changed my musical life some 30 years ago - in a K-Mart mall elevator...

I used to take my daughter to the movies almost every weekend. There was a commercial I don't remember what for but they played this song and I loved it.I feel I owe this thread a small debt, for introducing 80s jazz fusion several posts ago...
Since I was in grade school, my friends and I paid attention to what was being shown & said in TV commercials. Beyond saying that we found advertisements interesting when you really paid attention to them, I can't explain WHY we paid that much attention. Anyhoo, as I grew up, different things about commercials would grab my attention, and one of those things was the music being played in the background...
For several years, Nissan car commercials in the early 2000s could be found with some pretty interesting songs. One of those songs was this one: "Revolution Get Down", by The Bellrays. Straight-ahead balls-to-the-wall rock n roll, and sung by a woman who really did embody genre in a way few women have (in my opinion). Enjoy!
That was very catchy; I dug it!I used to take my daughter to the movies almost every weekend. There was a commercial I don't remember what for but they played this song and I loved it.
My daughter found out the song and band and got me the CD lol.
This didn't really do much for me I'm afraid. But speaking of straight-ahead balls-to-the-wall rock performed by a woman... may I humbly suggest Sister Sin. This particular song was my first introduction to the band.I feel I owe this thread a small debt, for introducing 80s jazz fusion several posts ago...

Well, if that didn't do much for you my second song post will probably do even less for youThat didn't do much for me, either
However, it was a perfect example of what I was talking about, and I always appreciate finding women who can rock. They're pretty rare, IMHO, and for that reason I think Sister Sin is a great addition to the thread...
Interesting and a bit catchy.Here's another entry in the straight-ahead rock category. This is an interesting band that's been around for a lot longer than you'd guess.
ps. Yes, this song in particular makes me think of certain users here...
I actually liked it a bit better!Well, if that didn't do much for you my second song post will probably do even less for you.
