User:Backbone drum and percussion

A drum magazine made by fans, For the fans. My first live show was Alex Van Halen in Asbury Park, NJ in '79 - '80... I forgot there were 3 other guys on stage. Then came Phil Rudd with Back in Black tour, Neil Peart on Moving Pictures tour, Nicko McBrain on the Number of the Beast show, and Styx, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, Tull, Bowie, Police, and on,and on.... Then the later 80's with U2, Squeeze, Quiet Riot, Bon Jovi, The CRUE! talk about a group of drummers! Now I get to talk with these very guys and put it to print. And I'm having a BLAST! I have to say that the few dozen drummers and percussionists I've spoken with so far have been unbelievable with their time and stories. And I get to share with you! I will keep this page updated with which interviews are coming out when. I can say right now that the first few stories coming out will be with the FANTASTIC Kenny Aronoff formerly of John Mellencamp, currently with John Fogerty, and now CHICKENFOOT! We spoke last June, but were waiting on the news of Chickenfoot to break. Also, Rikki Rockett of Poison, who just got off a 25 yr anniversary tour, spoke about the band, and his drum company called Rockettworks drum co. I have to say that these are some awesome tubs! Steven Adler spoke with me the night he was inducted to the Rock n roll hall of Fame. Athena Lee let's us know what she is up to lately. Denny Seiwell, former Wings Drummer, the FIRST Wings drummer gives us his take on the biz.. Living Legend, Bernard Purdie!
