      There is a reason why when Jimi Hendrix was once asked how it felt to be the best guitar player in the world, he said, " I don't know, go ask Billy Gibbons!" The master the GOAT.

      I had access to a drum kit for a couple years, via a roomate, and While I play stringed instruments, this was the only song I could riff to on drums as my roomate also played other instruments. Maybe not the “fills,” but the basic part is... basic :-)

      The four guys in Golden Earring has also played together since 1970. They did have some line-up changes the first years of their career (which started in 1961!) and some additional members along the way. But the four members that play together as Golden Earring today has been with the band since 1970. As a band with all original members still in the band, and never had any aditional members, ZZ Top are in their own league though.
