I came upon this post and was taken back to when I first heard the tune.

Not Like This Part II

My previous post explained what I wanted to be doing and some of what I actually have done. This purpose of this post is to provide further details regarding what I have spent my time doing.

As I said, Alex and I went to the Shinedown concert on Friday night. There was a pleasant surprise when I saw the following note on the door to the Adler Theater:

I didn't know Otherwise was going to be opening for Shinedown until I saw that note. Otherwise (the band) is the band that sings "I Don't Apologize" - one of the songs I really wanted Lou's Classic Ride to attempt to play after seeing the following video:

For what it's worth, LCR never attempted the song, though I still can hear Joe nailing the vocals.

As far as Shinedown, I have seen them multiple times.

1. 2004 - Memphis in May
2. 2008 - Moline, IL
3. 2013 (February) - Moline, IL  
4. 2013 (August) - Cedar Rapids
5. 2015 - Davenport, IA

On Friday, I was reminded of how much I enjoy watching Barry Kerch slay his drums. This video is from 2013, but it's a good representation of his showmanship.

I Don't Apologize / PsychOctopus

Still love this video.


And my jaw drops when I watch this:

Good Drummer!

Okay, I am a sucker for videos like this where you can see what magic the drummer is doing behind his kit. I like the way he slams the groove throughout.
