Rick Allen got in an accident in his car and his arm had to be amutated, it had nothing to do with falling out of the bus. And Cliff didn't die from falling out of the bus, he died because when he fell out the bus fell on him.

This is a conversation I had with som efriends recently. Sorry if this is considered offensive or anything.. Some (Commercial Music) guys were talking about the worlds best Dead Guys band. It was Kurt Cobain. Jim Morrison, Hendrix etc etc. They couldn't think of a drummer and I casually mentioned that the Def Leppard Drummers arm could do the job. I though this was humorous but my friend was pissing himself. I asked him why so funny?? and he said that the image that came to his mind was an arm on a drum stool wearing a jump suit like Portnoy in the Tokyo video.

I'm not going to beat this into the ground or anything (or am I already?), but if you're looking for STUPENDOUS music, you're probably not going to find it on the radio. I find I enjoy listening to some of the more mainstream stuff like Big Wreck and Soundgarden. But I don't get any lighter. Days of the New: uhm, that song happens to sound a bit like AiC, however, they do a lot of nifty stuff. They use really nice bass voice-leading like AiC did in Jar of Flies/Sap, and they do some similar vocal stuff, but most of the rest of the songs on the album don't sound much like AiC. Though Travis' voice is rather similar to Layne's, but he can't really help that now can he??! kill me...I still haven't written the paper...

"The drummer for Def Leppard's only got one arm!" That BG cd has some of the funniest lyrics I've heard in a long time. In the "who cares?" department: If DT ever covered Styx, I think two good songs would be Man in the Wilderness and Renegade. I got Michael Romeo's solo cd. He's the guitarist from Symphony X. It's not bad, but it's not SX. Lots of noodles, scales and shred. Less classical influences (aside from a Paganini cover) and not much keyboards. Lots of double-bass drum, but it's mostly a machine. Anyway, it's worth a listen, but I'd probably skip it if you're on a budget. my .02, Trevor ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 03:56:44 -0500 (EST) From: "Richard A.

My friend then mentioned > that the Def Leppard drummer *also* fell out of a bus and had to have his > arm amputated, but he's still the drummer. So: Not to be picky, but Rick Allen didn't fall out of a bus. He was involved in an automobile accident in which he was driving his own car and tried (unsuccessfuly, obviously) to pass a car that was going too slow. Not sure if he collided w/ another car or just skidded off the road. What does it say that Def Leppard's drummer uses one hand less then he used > to, and it's not enough of a difference that they need to fire him? > It says that he is one coordinated motherfucker. You should see the number of foot pedals he has on his kit. The fact that he can play what he use to play w/ one less arm is a testimony not only to his physical ability but to his dedication in overcoming his disability. I caught the band during the Slang tour in Austin, TX and, speaking as a drummer, the guy was rock solid. In fact, I totally forgot that he only had one arm until the band took their bows at the end of the show. That blew my mind. Richie P.S. Oh, and can we leave YNM alone? It's a great song (and yes, I like Bon Jovi). I can guarantee that if Desmond Child's name hadn't been attached to it, the anti-YNM posts would be cut in half. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 04:56:39 -0500 From: Lobsterback To: email_address_removed Subject: Thomas Crapper's masterpiece Message-ID: Just for curiosity's sake, what's the world record for the longest toilet flush?
