      @Neil Bonzo and Taylor were good friends. I heard they both partied a lot together and getting "hammered". yes Moon was influencial, but he was not buddies with Taylor like Bonzo was. Taylor always talked very highly of Bonzo, so he was influencial to him as well as moon. Bonzo also was influenced by moon. Moon was first, then came Bonzo, then Taylor when the bands formed.

    I first met this great guy in person back in 1974 in a music shop in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. They were opening for Mott The Hoople at the time. He was with Brian May. We spent about 30 minutes talking, doing little tricks on guitars, etc. Both magnificent, intelligent, gracious gentlemen. I showed Brian a few of our "signature" Memphis things and he shared his sixpence thing with me. He gave me one from his birth year -- 1947. I've got it framed in the music room of my house. Since then I've used silver coins for all sorts of things on electric guitars. Don't try it on an acoustic. It doesn't work! Over the years I ran into them in different clubs, restaurants, or hotels all over the US, the UK, and mainland Europe. Truly marvelous people as well as brilliant musical talents.

      John Bonham’s Famous Recording and Rehearsal Studio, Headley Grange, Headley, Hampshire, UK. About 10 years ago (Circa June 2005) unbeknown to me through an ad in New Musical Express (NME), I got invited to the old workhouse at Headley Grange for an audition as lead vocalist for a well known Queen Tribute Band, unfortunately I didn't make the grade, but what a privilege it was to be singing Queen songs with a complete band at John Bonham's famous recording and rehearsal studi...o who the Rolling Stone Magazine named him "the best drummer of all time" in 2011. Parts of Led Zeppelin's albums Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti were composed and/or recorded at Headley Grange.

    I'm glad to see this and other clips of Roger. This would not be my best start, as I know relatlively little about the mechanics of recording music for an album and the measurements of drumming, etc. But a good opportunity to get to say something, should Roger read these. I've watched the movie many times. It honors Freddie and introduces all to 'inside of Queen' to an extent (what can be done in just over 2 hours). I'm not an expert on any of the instruments. I've really enjoyed watching Roger play. It's astounding, the # of drum and how fast!! the beats and incredible to have all kinds of things going for a long song is simply outrageous! (in a positive way). Your talent is so marked, defined, a wonder to watch! Just wanted to let you know. I never thought that I'd enjoy watching a drummer do his shtick for more than a minute or so. The movie, although I'm really confused about the timeline compared to UA-cam clips, has given me an opportunity to not only see honor given to Freddie Mercury but to see each individual's talent in a newer, closer way and appreciate you more than ever. Thank you for being such a big part of bringing the movie to the public over so many years of work and planning, etc., etc. Blessings and all good things! (I'll be looking at other Roger Taylor clips, too, but this just serves as the statement I felt like making.)

    • @dodiesdiary
      @dodiesdiary 5 років тому +1

      Jimmy learned the art of slowing or speeding the tape from the Beatles. Even in their early music, shifting the pitch of the tape often would make it hard to impossible for bands to find the key the Beatles were playing in on the finished recording!

      I see people of all ages with tattoos. I don't think they are meant to suit you unlike clothes or hairstyles. They are just body drawings. People have tattoos because tbey like them.
      I haven't got any. Can't afford them with a mortgage. Most of my friends have them. Some of them are very overweight and think nothing of wearing pale coloured leggings with short tops. I think that looks more unsightly than tattoos especially from the back but they don't listen.
