OMIGOD! Do you know who drummed on this?

[gwEm]

Vinnie Apice or his brother you reckon..?

(by the way, regarding that Cozy track, I've always really liked the intro)

[AndyR]

Oh I give up! I felt sure someone would have got it by now. :lol:

Bill Ward.

Bill Ward is the drummer and percussionist on Dean Friedman's Well Well Said The Rocking Chair, including the singles Lucky Star and Lydia.

I'm pretty sure Jonathan was hinting that he knew it!   

[gwEm]

Never would have guessed it! I suggested Cozy and Carmine since I know they were session drummers with a bit of a jazzy twist and a metal connection.

By the way, Miss gwEm says: "thats a terrible track with terrible drumming, why are you bothering guessing that!"

Yeah - i'd looked it up , but didn't want to spoil it too much for others
Friedman was a bit too sub-Billy Joel for my tastes though

I'm inclined to agree, it's all a bit sugary.  But looking at reviews of that particular album, it seems to be extremely well regarded (if you like that sort of thing, presumably!  )

[AndyR]

Yeah, I liked Billy Joel as well but, for me, he hasn't got the same sense of humour or feel for the human (male) condition (or some such bollox anyway :lol:).

I've been listening to Dean Friedman and Loudon Wainwright III all day. LW III has same sort of approach but is more self-destructive, and a lot funnier. I'm realising, though, I know absolute nothing about his kids Martha and Rufus except that "Rufus Is A Tit-man" and other fine insights to be found in their father's songs.

I was truly shocked to find it was Bill Ward on "Well, Well" though.

[38thBeatle]

Well I kind of knew inasmuch that I was aware that "a" Bill Ward played drums but I can't honestly say I knew it was "the" Bill Ward. My memory was more about Tony Levin as he was of more interest to me at the time.

I know Rufus didn't grow up to be a "tit-man".....  :|

[HTH AMPS]

Is this an album Bill Ward recorded when he was (in Brian May's words) "pursuing other interests" (greatest smoke screen ever for a bloke being a raging alcoholic)   :lol:

[Philly Q]

Are those Brian May's words about Bill Ward, or someone else?

[Loomer]

Are those Brian May's words about Bill Ward, or someone else?

Seeing as the description/remark and the humour behind is drier than the Gobi desert, sprinkled with salt and paper towels on a particularly hot Tuesday afternoon, I'd wager it's Brian May alright.

I know it's Brian May, I meant was he talking about Bill Ward, or was he talking about someone else?

Good description of his humour though.
