Recalling Whoopi

Watching Vinny Appice in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=PLkPIEddvo9O04YEIQ0tg296ZkS3fS2aGR&v=DdWAWDXsbFQ#t=65 - reminded me of Whoopi Goldberg when he described Metallica's Lars Ulrich here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=e8JQUlZCnHQ#t=323 - which always cracks me up.

I didn't notice this before, but when I watched this again, I noticed the typo for Megadeth. Look at the following screen capture:

There is no album called "Hangar 18" - that's the name of a song on a fantastic release called "Rust in Peace" that came out in 1990ish.











And, if you look at the other bands mentioned, they are all for 'names of albums', as shown below:

Drumming with a Smile

Lars Ulrich always looks like he has to go to the bathroom when he plays drums. He grimaces and looks like he is really mad. It brings an intensity, I think, to his playing. As the 'anti-Lars' I offer this video by Meytal Cohen. She smiles. I like it. When I play drums @ 5:15 Mass tonight and 11 Mass tomorrow, I fully intend to smile.
