Sell it to me ;)Fitton said:I'm supposed to be going seeing them on the Friday (29th) but my girlfriends booked me in for a skydive as a skydive for my birthday.
Haven't actually paid the lad for my ticket yet, is it worth buying it for £60 to sell on?
Probably not worth the hassle. After the massive original fuss over them, demand seems to have died down.Fitton said:I'm supposed to be going seeing them on the Friday (29th) but my girlfriends booked me in for a skydive as a skydive for my birthday.

He was incredibly inventive and complements the Roses style perfectly; in fact his drumming was largely responsible for shaping that style. But now that his tracks have been laid down for all eternity, there really is nothing there that any other drummer couldn't replicate.
So, yeah, he's technically a decent drummer but some people elevate his status way too much.
So he is technically a decent drummer and incredibly inventive? What more does a musician have to do to deserve an elevated status? Yes many drummers may be able to replicate what he does but like any art forms the real genius comes in the creativity. I have played the drums (pretty badly to be fair) for over 25 years and in terms of creativity, I'd say he's right up there. He is/was incredibly individual imo and that is why he he is rated so highly.
Watch this bloke from about 3.15 onwards. It shows what a fantastic technical piece of drumming I am the Resurrection is (IMO). This lad is excellent and can play it but crucially Reni was the one who created it. Sadly I couldn't even begin to play stuff like that, never mind think of it in the first place.

I also feel the need to post this. I could watch Reni on this all day. Effortless.
