Perhaps Jefferson Airplane/Starship had it right, if you have the same personnel, but your musical direction changes, perhaps you should just change the name of the band, to keep the “brand” more pure. So you couldn’t necessarily lump in “We Built This City” with “White Rabbit”, even though most of the personnel were the same.

“I saw ?em live back in 1994.James is the one who got me into guitar.”

2003 for me in Orlando with Limp Biskit. Mudvane, Linken Park and a couple others. They sounded great.

So is ZZ Top the only big-name rock act that has gone over 40 years without 1 single personnel change?

Almost. Rush had a couple of changes in their very earliest days, but since then, they've been the same trio for nearly that long.

Now that you mention it, they might be.

And damn, Billy Gibbons still plays a mean Strat.

I nearly lost my eye working as a security guard during their And Justice for All tour. 2x4 to the head.

I still think they are great. :)

Oy, that doesn’t sound good. But then, I was a well-behaved metalhead. Where was that?

It was in an outdoor arena and people were trying to scale the 15’ high fence to get in. My job was to make sure they didn’t make it. One guy apparently took exception and threw a 2x4 from the top of the fence. I still wonder why he wasn’t a MLB pitcher with that kind of aim.

You can't fix stupid. You reminded me of this oldie but goodie:

YORK, Pa. — A man trying to climb a 12-foot, wrought-iron fence into a concert venue fell onto one of the inch-thick spikes, impaling his thigh, then held on while rescuers worked to cut part of the fence away. The man drifted in and out of consciousness as firefighters used hydraulic cutters to snap three of the spikes, but he was speaking as rescuers loaded him into an ambulance about 45 minutes later, said John Kottmyer, assistant chief of York fire and rescue service. "He had to actually try to hold himself up there," Kottmyer said. The man underwent surgery Wednesday night and was still hospitalized Thursday, according to David Nichols, chief of the West Manchester Township Fire Department. His identity was not released; no police charges were filed. The fence's sharp-ended spikes rise about 8 inches above a horizontal bar, and when the man fell, one spike penetrated his leg completely. Nichols said the rescuers could not have removed the man from the fence. "Medical protocol is you don't ... remove an impalement because it may have severed an artery or nicked an artery and it could be holding back that blood," Nichols said. The man and several friends had been headed to the Bad Boys of Rock concert featuring the bands Hinder, Papa Roach and Buckcherry, according to York Fair vice president Gene Schenck. The man had a concert ticket, but officials said the group may have jumped the fence to avoid the fair's $5 entry fee. His friends jumped the fence safely. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,296751,00.html

Those are triggers. He’s using real drums it just triggers a sound. I can understand why he did it because it punches the bass drums through the mix but there are other ways to do it, which I’m doing.

Oh man, you couldn’t have expressed that any better. That’s exactly how I feel about it too.

Who would the others be? My favorite is Mickey Dee from Motorhead.

My evidence is Load and Reload. Alternative rock.

Going too far towards prog metal would make them sound like Dream Theater. I’m thankful every day they don’t sound like Dream Theater.

He's also one of the top 3 or 4 drummers that ever lived...and my personal favorite.

I have to disagree - there are many a lot better.. Dave Lombardo, Neil Peart, Cozy Powell, Morgan Rose.....

“Rust in Peace” blows away musically anything Metallica ever did.
