Mick Fleetwood is a terrible drummer.

I just thought it’s a fairly major admission to make ... so you can get to the top of your chosen profession by being bad? ...

... or pristine technique ain't necessarily the mark of musical genius .

 

[Yellow Fang]

Don't know if Mick Fleetwood is a bad drummer, but he does tend to drum with his mouth open.

Perhaps he's waiting for 'Harold'.

If you have no idea what I'm on about then Google 'Fleetwood Mac - Harold'

Same goes for Van Gogh.
Never a great techical artist but had the eye of a genius.

Bob Holness played sax on Baker Street, I never knew that, you learn something new every day...

I'll have a P, please, Bob.

But not much of an ‘ear’ for music.

He had 'an ear' for music, shame it was only the one.

Yeah and Albatross was a cr@p record as well

The young bloke with blonde hair Danny Kirwan - My mum used to rent an office in London from the Ex Fleetwood manager, who at the time was managing Danny Kirwan after he had left Fleetwood Mac. When I was playing hookie from School I used to have to go to work with my Mum in their Mini 1275GT. I was allowed to read Danny's Comics, they were pure utter filth! Porno cartoons but the outside looked like Whizz. I never did tell my Mum! I could have only been 12/13. met him a couple of times but he was fairly troubled. My Mums Ex -Business Partner's at the time brother played with Peter Green in Peter Green Splinter Group largish bearded fellow. Way before this I had seen him pick a acoustic guitar up and play like this. There this is my cllaim to fame!!



And I must have been 10 or 11 as I recall he was just launching this album, blimey! It was pretty good I remember listening to it quite a lot.

Of course you can. Ringo Starr was another lousy drummer and he didn't do badly

Neither Ringo or Mick are bad drummers. If you want bad drumming go to a metallica gig.

Tried the old bongo banging once, but totally incapable of getting legs and arms to be independent, looked like Pinocchio apparently

Talking of music and art, I went up into the attic and found a Stradivarius and a Rembrandt. Unfortunately Stradivarius was a terrible painter and Rembrandt made lousy violins.

Spoon jar, jar spoon...

If you want as bad as it gets you gotta hear The Shaggs, cult status stuff.
