Lol - check the VR section - there are a huge number of people on the board who despise the band. Don't ever fool urself into thinking ur dealing with rationale people here
By "this band", do you mean people who hate Velvet Revolver or people who hate the new GN'R? Either way, you're probably right.
One thing I always wondered about their drummer, wouldn't it have been easier to get some sort of drumming prosthetic than to learn how to play one handed? Hear me out, think like a real long drum stick attached to where the remainder of his arm ends. like half a broom stick long, and then file the end like a drum stick. I think that sounds easier than learning how to play one handed. Altho I don't know how much of his arm was left because I am not a fan so that may determine whether or not this was feasible.
Ya know, I read in
Maxim magazine's "25 Greatest Moments In Metal" or something like that that the drummer, Rick Allen, was arrested in like 1992 for beating his wife. Wow, talk about the setting the standard - not only for crippled musicians, but also for crippled assholes too!
I was dismayed to read that. I've always admired Rick as a symbol of perseverence in the face of hardship, and then I found out he beat his wife. That sucks.
