@the_bushell_family A few months after falling in love with #Nirvana I discovered Queens of the Stone Age! This is when I started to become obsessed with Mr Grohl’s playing. I started to form my style from copying him. I began to practice hours every day. I was having so much fun. I was 9 years old in this video. My sticks were nearly as big as me! #queensofthestoneage #davegrohl #davegrohlismyhero #nooneknows #drum #drums #drumming #drummer #drummergirl #girldrummer #superdrummer #drumlife #cymbal #drumuniversity #percussion #femaledrummer #femaledrummers #drumfamily #batterie #percussão #baterista #zildjiancovers ♬ original sound – The_Bushell_Family
RIP Darryl Hunt.
It was my great pleasure to be able to see the Pogues a few time in my life. No matter what condition Shane was in, the crowds more than made up for his lack of vocals with their/our own and the band. Oh, the band….they played and cavorted (yes, that’s what I said!) on stage like they were in their 20s. You’d never guess their age with their mad antics. I sure as hell know if I tried some of the stuff they were doing on stage that I’d be taking heavy painkillers afterwards but they just played and put on a grand show like nothing else. Every time. Losing any of them is losing a great treasure and NONE can compare. Any who try are just fucking poseurs.
