Berkley has been known to do a new show just about every week. This was one of(wanna of) the better shows they've done... they have a ways to catch up to Stanford Band though.
Bands of America Championships= Average 35,000+ audience every year. And the 2007 DCI Championships had 40,000+. It happnes Jay, not too often, but it does happen.
It's not just the rhythems, it's the fact that it's all clean. No unintedned rim scrapes, consistant dynamics and stick heights, no tempo fluctuation when doing visuals, etc. Technique was amazing too. Doogie, your a doctor, not a musician.
Barker's a solid drummer. He's not great, but he can lay a solid beat. Bozzio took drumming to a different level when he developed his chromatic/diatonic kit. You can't really compare the two. One, anyone can learn from just watching enough drum videos or listening to a cd track. The other one has to get a basic grasp of music theory to tune and organize the drums so they are musically playable.
The taser is non lethal. A gun is lethal. Yes it hurts like f*ck, but it won't kill you unless you have a pace maker or some kind of health disorder. Btw, yes I have been tasered before... voluntarily. You have to get tasered if you want to be permitted to use one.
Ok, so from what I can tell, He was getting escorted for running his question too long. The sound guy cut his mic, and the guy in the back made the sign to remove the guy. The guy resisted and more cops came in. He continued to resist and was warned that if he doesn't comply he will get tasered. He didn't comply and got tasered... not once did they tell him he was being arrested... because they were just escorting him out.
He was charged with felony resisting... not for anything he said at the forum.
I can't make a comment on which office is better as I haven't seen the us version yet. But I do agree that bbc coupling was way better than the us version.
They call me Il Duce. They used to call me "The Duke" but I said there was only one Duke, and it isn't me. Then my friend brought up Il Duce from The Boondock Saints. That's where the name comes from.
