    It was the fall of 1983. I was living in the dorm at college, a freshman. There were two seniors, both architect majors. One of them had a huge stereo system. Next thing I know this song is blasting. It was officially “dorm stereo wars.” I will never forget them playing this song at full blast. The ‘80s were a great time to have went through HS and college.

    This is why Tony Hammons deserves a big-boys drum kit! Todd and Nick were epic, and Mike….what a voice! Can’t get enough LLB!

    • @paulevans9715
      @paulevans9715 2 роки тому +1

      Tony's playing Ludwigs, like Alex did, except he's using roto-toms instead of rack toms. I thought they sounded good.

  • @calbo4051
    @calbo4051 2 роки тому +1

    For years I have always hear music guys talk about how the drum riff was over dubbed and it was ipossible to get that complex syncopation without some type of digital help...Tony proved that trac was real and amazing.

  • @kpete9219
    @kpete9219 2 роки тому +3

    There is only one thing I would do to make this even more authentic, if that's possible. Give Tony Hammons, the drummer real glass bottles to make the sound. To his credit, he clanked them at the right moment. He was awesome, as usual!

  • @tnoutdoors9
    @tnoutdoors9 2 роки тому +21

    Well, I'll have to favorite and watch multiple times yet another LLB video. On point, and until this cover I had never noticed the intensity and cadence of the bass line. 🔥

    • @timshelton7905
      @timshelton7905 2 роки тому +2

      Yet Michael Anthony was criticized by EVH and defended by Sammy Hagar. Dude was good and THIS cover is good.

    • @TheBent139
      @TheBent139 2 роки тому +1

      They always smothered his bass on studio recordings. Michael is a class act for tolerating the BS that was always thrown at him.

  • @goodguy309
    @goodguy309 2 роки тому +4

    I recall seeing a video where the original drum intro was done with two recordings at a different beat. Either track was insane on its own. This drummer is doing a fabulous job.
