Wish I could point to one thing in particular but I don't remember anything specific except after he was over here for a while with the show and was getting a lot of attention from the press, the subtext of the whole Riverdance "story" seemed to change from what an awesome spectacle it was to what a giant tool Flatley seemed to be offstage and in person.

Over the past couple of years I've rarely heard Riverdance or Flatley mentioned except as the punchline of a joke.

Still one of the best birthday presents I ever got though.

By the way, has anybody figured out 'the rythm' yet?

Ah. That's one I've never listened to all the way through voluntarily. Altho having grown up with a drummer in my life I probably heard it involuntarily when I was quite young... which may explain my later aversion to it.

You don't OWN the album? Philistine!

Drum solo begins at 6:23.


Of course they managed to cut it right before the end of the solo. If you sit through the second half, keep an ear open for Gojira.

It was released when I was 19, and it changed my life musically.

I thought he retired some years ago after the success that his Lord of the Dance was.
Last I heard he has grown a belly of no small size since....

Drummers never grow up! What gives?

The drummer is my sister's husband... she's quite a bit older than me and they were already a couple as young teens when I was a toddler. I don't remember him ever NOT being around, lol.

That was 40+ years ago. He's currently drumming every coupla weeks for the "contemporary" service at the Methodist church they go to, and the last time I heard was still trying to figure out a way to work "Wipeout" into the lineup. Which should answer any questions as to whether or not he's grown up yet.

I expect a owe a lot of my early and persistent musical preferences to their influence - still groovin' on a lot of the stuff I listened to in their company when I was very young. For a while, when they'd moved out of state, I was the "keeper" of a bunch of his old records from the 60s and early 70s. If Iron Butterfly was in there, I never listened to it... but he's definitely to blame for my ongoing appreciation of Grand Funk Railroad.

The reason for my quip is this photo of moi.




As you can see, I have a personal interest in drummers.

Would you mind taking some "personal interest" in the "drummer" who lives two houses down the street from me? A four year old throwing pots and pans down a stairwell is more rhythmic than that guy, and doesn't usually go on for four and a half hours at a stretch.

I found an original vinyl at a yard sale years ago and got hooked. Thus began my strange journey into the hippie movement, during the age of post-modern industrial (and the fragile beginnings of Goth metal). What I would give to be 17 and curious again. Good album, though. Still have it.

I can honestly say I've never heard it....but it is interesting

You'll no doubt remember my drumming hero...John Bonham
