In Greg's "bare it all" thread I mentioned playing in an Irish bar here and two twin brothers from Dublin joined later and were simply great singers and guitar players. They were very complimentary about my grooves and time and went on to say that Larry Mullen, Jr of U2 was many ranks below me in both their minds in terms of those aspects of drumming. This was not so much to praise me as to tell me that they had seen him jam in other bands and that he was simply a BAD drummer with no technique, poor time and no feel. That really surprised me as none of that shows on what I have seen and heard of U2. They were adamant that they have seen him play often and that he could not get a gig in another band. They ought to know so I left it at that but took my kudos like a champ .... Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
