R: Bonzo's drumming is boring

["Bruno" <MD3349@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ciao Espen and All!

First, if I ever offended Espen, that wasn't my will, so
please Espen, accept my public apologies.

This is the e-mail pseudonym you chose.

Italy is a free country, and I hope you live in another free
one, so you can listen (and like) the music you choose. I only
meant that even if you don't like drum solos, *I* think it would
be wrong to throw in the trash can years of hard working, by
simply telling "boring". It's a matter of respecting people
who made a living with their music --*my* opinion.

The 80% of modern rock drummers took their inspiration by
listening at Bonzo's drumming, and the remaining 20% play
pattern and rudiments that Bonzo did first, even if they
don't know it. 

And this is a fact, *not* my personal opinion.

Oh... sould I smile? I missed it.

I'm not sitting on the judge seat.
You surely can say "*I* don't like it", but you said:
"but c'mon; How boring can you actually get?!?!", and I
answered. That's all.

Your words, not mine. See above. I said "I respect your
opinion", but IMHO, you said something that *to me* sounded
like "2 + 2 makes 5", and I answered, is that forbidden on
this list? Oops! :)

Yeah, very funny.

I will try, thank you for telling me what I have to do.

WOW! Did I tell what you have to do etc.? And where, please?
You know, English is not my mother language, so please help me...

And sorry, Badgeholders, for the "waste of bandwith".

Bruno.
