And that guitar weave at the beginning and end of the song between David and Nigel is really wonderful. One of my favorite Spinal Tap songs. A straight up and straightforward rocker, that fits in nicely in this set.

Greg is far down the list, Steve Smith in the top 10, Alex Van Halen, definitely next to Neil. or close. Then we got Ginger Baker, Tommy Aldridge, Gene Krupa, Billy Cobham... Terry Bozio, Keith Moon, X, Thomas Pridgen sorry forgetting so many too many but who cares who really the order, great playing is great playing. The original drummers doa better verion of these songs imo Greg didn't play any triplets on big bottom, and overplayed on tonight im gonna rock you...but he probably did not have long to prepare.
