Behold the true musical language of The Drummer.

Fuck you, you guitar playing, songwriting, song singing, fancy notes and chords playing prima donna!

And hey - at least I can play a straight 4/4 beat backwards

You know yourself the drummer is the most important component of a band. I'll not even repeat that old cliche but it's true.

Anyway, I use words like "changachangachang" and "dudu-lum" when describing a guitar part to someone in the band.

"A drummerless band is a no good band." - Joe Strummer, 'Armagedeon Times' Vol. 1

Shit, I used to sing guitar/bass parts to dudes in rehearsals, especially on covers I knew. And amazingly, most never got annoyed or pissed off at me!

I think that's the McCartney method.

Michael Jackson would do it too. Bowie would often use colors and other various imagery for conveyance, which he no doubt learned from Brian Eno, who, back then, didn't know a B-flat from a bee keeper.

Björk will request "fuzzy" or "friendly" basslines, while Siouxsie once requested that McGeoch make his guitar line sound like a horse falling down the stairs.

Lennon, most likely with some LSD in him, told George Martin to make a song sound like an onion.

Was it Glass Onion?

No, I don't think so.

Dr. Google says it's an orange and the song is "Sun King." And there's no way that that sounds like citrus, so George Martin can go screw (in the great beyond).

It predates Eno. I can’t find a picture online, but there’s an amazing drawing somewhere Bowie made of his plan for the solo in Moonage Daydream, and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look like Ronson’s final output.

Wow, I'd love to see that. And I guess that makes sense that David was already working in that way. Great minds, and all that...

That is fantastic.

Man, Moonage Daydream is just so damn great.

Hes - serious question here: was Ronson a big influence on your guitar playing? I mean, I can hear the Stuart Adamson influence, with the hyper-melodic, tightly structured, non-blues based leads, but surely Stuart was heavily influenced by Ronno, who operated in a similar "outside the box", non-bluesy way. Is it that heavy Les Paul tone and crazy amp and Cry Baby wah set up he used that makes such a huge difference from his contemporaries? (sorry for getting off topic a bit here).
