Whippin' Post was the third song I learned to play after Comfortably Numb and Money, that was an assignment from my dad.


************************

I do try to figure out song choices in advance and have them be somehow related to the game, team, or season's unfoldings, but so far it seems like the annual tradition will be to give in to a theme for the back half lol. Butt Rock last year and Weirdness this year.



I find this one to be pretty evergreen for modern Flyers fanship. Plus I just love this band. Someone forgot to tell them that guitar and solos are dead.


Was your Dad a sadist? Whipping Post and Money odd time signatures, lol. Kinda like getting thrown off a boat to see if you know how to swim, lol.

Haha, I've never had an issue with time and the various tricks to stress and stretch it to produce funk, blues, or proper country. I was learning to play Tool early on. Left hand speed sucks so a lot of metal is beyond me, but I am a reliable metronome. Or I was, I'm very out of practice.

Oh neat, I'm finding that Jamirquai fans are currently winning their very long war with YouTube to keep the Abbey Road sessions uploaded. These usually don't last long.



@Surrounded By Ahos this one can be for you for obvious song-title related reasons.

Wow...I'd not seen this before! Man, they could really groove.

When I come across something cool on youtube I typically save it because there is no guarantee it will be there in the future.

BTW, drummers love a "reliable metronome" :) I think we're the only musicians that truly appreciate each other. We're more than happy to lay down a solid groove and don't care if anyone looks at us.

I must always insert my personal demon from Tower of Power.

This song gives me carpal tunnel after 4 seconds. The first time I played it I thought "wow, this is going to be easy." But it's just relentless and grinding. Much of this song is fun to play. The drone note though, is a cross-country race. Supposed to be done pretty fast and yet never ever ever ends


Rocco could play sixteenths with the best of them.
 
I would have never in my life believed I would be actively rooting for the Sabres, (or any team) to beat the Flyers. Part of me hates this team for putting me in this position.

Fair point.

I think I find some peace in it. I’ve wanted them to draft high for ages.

Say if they didn’t mess up the Gauthier situation.

You could have him, Buium, Michkov, and #4 this year. That’s a nice start to a core.

The Flyers are too prone to mistakes in drafting/development anyway, so having that higher pick gives them the biggest chance overcome their own errors.

I’m still a fan at the end of the day, and these losses imo bring me closer to a day when I could out that car flag up again. It’s been many years since that’s happened. Lose tonight, and maybe get some lottery luck. Misa or Schaefer would be nice additions.
