  1. Hammersmith Palais backstage
    in the shadow boy meets man hehehe

    It was the early '80s. I went with Pete Townshend, who always wanted to catch the first whiff of those about to unseat us, to a club in London. There they were: A young Bono -- single-handedly pioneering the Irish mullet; (laughter) the Edge -- what kind of name was that?; Adam and Larry. I was listening to the last band of whom I would be able to name all of its members. They had an exciting show and a big, beautiful sound. They lifted the roof.
    induction speech

  2. I've always loved that photo and that story
  3. THIS IS HYSTERICALY HILARIOUS


    Born To Run To The Dark Side

  4. "the stone pony strikes back" or 'darkness on the edge of the empire' or 'return of the lost masters'
  5. where MIghty Max spent his birthday

  6. everyone says 'how does bruce do it' but three to four hours drumming, max puts in some serious work.
  7. he's not "Mighty" for nothing
    and also the mental effort is no less trying to figure out what passes through Bruce mind
  8. Originally posted by ade:everyone says 'how does bruce do it' but three to four hours drumming, max puts in some serious work.

    Yeah not sure how he does it. Huge effort for anyone, especially someone of his age. Would still outlast and outplay plenty of younger drummers, methinks.

    yeah but if bruce pisses him off max can just retaliate with a very heavy bass drum.
  10. Absolutely. Drums are the (physically) toughest instrument, and most drummers are exhausted after 2 hours, so I just can't explain how a 60 (?) years old guy can play for 3, 3'5 or 4 hours each few nights. Even if Bruce songs are pretty simple to play on the drums, it's still a brutal effort.
  11. 62 the other day


  12. for a long time i resisted the hype as it seems to be the weapon of choice on btx, when i finally relented and listened to it i was literally on the edge of my seat by the end.

    listening to the crystal cat version of paris 2 well worth replacing any old versions anyone might have.
