ack-ack Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Charlie Watts the gentleman drummer for me. I like the fact that he just loves playing the drums and never got involved in all the stuff that accounted for Bonzo and Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to donate any CD copies of early Cream ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingRebel Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Bonham for me. I do love Keith Moon too though. I definitely grew up in the wrong musical era. I cant stand any of the atrocious **** that gets played on the radio these days. No soul, no originality, no talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ack Ack... agree its a terrible downfall, but watching some of Moons early 60's stuff, his 'beat' has never been copied ... awesome to watch and not all about the Singer as with the Stones but i'm a massive Bonham fan.

vole Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Got to be Bonzo . Much better drummer for a much better band . He did more for Zep than Moon did for the Stones . Hard driving rock drummer , no one touches him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Are we not forgetting Phil Collins here Not really , Saw Genesis in concert ( just after Gabriel ) very good , but not in the same class tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caisterboy Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Are we not forgetting Phil Collins here We try to Seriously though, He was fine when Peter Gabriel was driving Genesis and just playing the drums - for whatever anybody thinks of him he is a fine drummer - he just turned the best prog rock band ever into a pop band Oh and its Moon the Loon for me, all over a drum kit like a rash at his best Mind you Bonzo was pretty good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three peice bands really do it for me as they have all have to punch above their individual weight to create the synergy required to deliver. I can watch the Who all day long but can tire of the Stones. I just admire Charlie's ongoing proffesionalism. He looks a bit like a German war film villian as well which perhaps got my attention as a nipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear68 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Got to be Keith Moon....he was playing his stereo at full blast in his room whilst staying at a hotel in the USA, the manager knocked on the door and complained about the noise. Moon dragged him into the room, blew up the kharzi with a stick of dynamite, and said "that, dear boy is noise, I was listening to The Who!"
