Probably not there, but … Clive Burr’s drum roll on Run To The Hills Topper Headon’s drum rolls on Safe European Home The breakdown and drum return on Brimful of Asha John Lydon’s raspberry at the end of […]

The Misfits – Halloween (I really think this would benefit from some Steven Wilson re-mixing dust)

German Hair Metal time … if you’re going to call your band Halloween, be sure to include some pumpkin imagery, and have a song that includes the name (the full version is 13 minutes of German Hair Metal […]

Winner winner chicken dinner (shirley)

Two intros: Drum crack and guitar at start of Teenage Kicks Duff/on purpose guitar note on White Man In Hammersmith Palais
