  4. I want to know, if Joanne forgot to take her Prozac? Better living through chemistry. If that isn’t the problem. Better lay off the caffine…

  6. Speaking of “Freaking Out”

    There a new buzz word called “net seeding”
    which blurs the lines between advertising and entertainment.

    http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2007/02/04/bridezilla-campaign.html

    I would call it something more like Invasive Creativeâ„¢ because it bugs me on a primordial level.

    Here it is:

  16. ARRRRRRGGGG!!!!! I would have called the boob squad to have that anoying light creature blown up. I like watching Joanne every day - it is sort of like dating her without all the messy bodily contact but I get to see the range of emotions that I tend to illicit from women while in a relationship.

  17. leron, you are kidding right? you are just trying to get me going, right? check out any of the wfd champions like mike mangini who’s hands and feet are moving over 20 times per second every second for a full minute. that 1247 world record run of his is simply amazing. he also plays with steve vai which is not too shabby either.

    i know you are just pulling on me, so i won’t be too hard on you, but check any of these wfd champs out they really are amazing. see http://www.worldsfastestdrummer.com

  22. Hey Leron, who ever said WFD was music? It’s about as musical as playing on a plastic bucket. But I believe they call it Extreme Sport Drumming. Not Extreme Music Drumming. I’m sure there’s a reason for that. Don’t ya think? Or are you not capable of thinking? Maybe Mangini Rulz is right. Maybe you are retarded.

  23. LOL! Just a simple question to the fighting drummer dudes, isn’t the objective of the whole fastest drummer thing to see who’s actually the fastest?

    If so, then to be the fastest is what one should do. If it was called WMMD, then being the world’s most musical drummer might come into play.

    Let’s not loose sight of what’s important in the world. hahahaha!

    I’m with the ‘animal’ vote also.

  29. Who cares if she can type fast? That doesn’t make what she types poetry. Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman. They may not be WFT material. But their names will be spoken with awe long after the last LCD on the last Type-o-meter burns out.

  34. The reason Keith Moon is able to play so fast is cuz he’s wearin cat make-up! The Original Catman Peter Criss figured this secret out alone time ago way back in the 70s when he played with the best band ever KISS!

  41. You may not agree with Leron’s taste in drummers, but his point is correct. Being the “world’s fastest drummer” may require talent, but that talent isn’t necessarily musical. Check out Billy Cobham:

  54. WE ARE TAKING CARE

    We are taking care of the dog,
    Taking care of the cat,
    And taking good care of the fish in the tank, But the Earth is sick,
    And not getting better.

    We are taking care of the house,
    Taking care of the garden,
    And taking good care of the cars in the garage,
    But the Earth is still sick,
    And not getting better.

    We are working hard,
    And also taking care of the children,
    And the children are taking loving care of the stuffed animals in the playpen,
    But the Earth is still sick,
    And still not getting any better.

    Angie…I’m dying…I’m choking…I can breathe…if I die…so do you.

  55. My friends this is no coincidence that you are mentioning Keith as one the world’s fastest drummer on the exact same day Anna Smith dies. They were very much similar.

    Birth to one death to another it’s like one door closes and another opens or vise versa.

    Finally RIP to Miss Anna and to Keith.

  56. I knew KM. Unfortunately never met ANS. Watching Keith play from the side of the stage over many nights was one of life’s real treats. He totally enjoyed being himself. And about those nails JO-BO You’re going to need one of those belt sanders to clean them off. They are just dripping.

  59. clintus me too! I’ve been out for awhile and just stopped by to see if anything was happening and boy was it!

    The fastest drummer thingy was pretty cool and I say that the old school drummers such as Buddy Rich were probably the fastest.

    Anyway Joanne, great, great show and keep it up!

  63. Love the drummer thing and I think if Bonham had not drank/drugged himself into death he would have been the fastest.

  64. The current fastest drummer is, I believe, Mike Mangini, even though in the video clip, they showed Johnny Rabb, who held the record several years ago.

    It’s just hearsay, but from what I’ve been told, Buddy Rich could play single strokes at about 250bpm, or 1,000 singles per minute (which is faster than my Drum Corps friends can play, though admittedly they weren’t in top corps like Cavaliers or Blue Devils). Mike Mangini’s record is over 1,200 singles per minute, or >300bpm. On the practical side, most types of music would rarely require one to play faster than ~200bpm, although most good drummers can play faster. If you have the technical facility to play beyond what is required, what is required becomes that much easier.

    And just because they enter a competition to see who can play faster, doesn’t mean they aren’t good musicians as well. IIRC Terry Bozzio (who played with Zappa, et al.) said he was an admirer of Mike Mangini, and Johnny Rabb is considered one of the best Jungle/D&B drummers around. As long as they are also making music, who cares how they choose to have a little fun on the side? Don’t be so pretentious, leron.
