Used to give me goosebumps when my older sister used to play it on the old mans grammaphone (the 45 of course)

You know, this thread has been floating around for a year.
No one has yet posted a decent motorcycling song. I rest my case that there are none.
There are songs that people like to listen to whilst motorcycling, but there are no songs specifically about motorcycles or motorcycling that are anything other than exploitative fluff.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
parting of the sensory
True dat.
I used to find that listening to Pat Benatar while driving made me drive faster/more aggressively; does that make it driving music, or the opposite? I've never listened to music whil riding (and have little desire to do so), and all the songs that are supposedly about bikes or mention them are, as you say, fluff. Or crap (e.g., "Born to be wild", one of Steppenwolf's more commercial and crapper songs.)
If I was to choose summat, it'd be by someone who was into bikes, but not specifically about bikes, like Duane Allman (before he died in a bike accident, of course. Dunno about any of his later stuff...)
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

On the subject of drummers you gotta appreciate that speed is not everything!!
Listen to some of Carter Beauford's drumming with the Dave Matthews Band, incredible. Chad Smith, Brad Wilk, Herb the Ginseng Drummer, Mike Bordin, Jimmy Chamberlain................
As for metal drummers!! I don't think I've ever heard anyone with the power and precision of Chris Kontos on Machinehead's first album. Fucking brutal. But Big Vinnie is a almost tied on that one! He is a beast live.

I've been drumming for 30 years.
Don't presume to lecture me about feel and taste as opposed to outright speed. I've had twelve year old students that don't drag the feel of a song as badly as that Def Leppard chappy.
I've done a Master Class with Mr Beauford in the UK and he is a true Gentleman and very modest and great fun to be around. He has a very lateral spread-around-the-kit-New-Orleans- 2nd-line approach that stems from the Zigaboo Modeliste school, but he's definitely made it easier for drummers everywhere riff expressively whilst playing for the song. His fusion chops are unbelievable, and he has a much nicer touch than say, Dennis Chambers.

Yeah, ok. Where the fuck was my lecture? I was just pointing out to the metallistas amongst us that just cos Lombardo and all the other metal monsters can play at 100bpm they are not the best drummers around. You seem to agree with my opinion on Carter so why come over all fuckin "I've been drumming for thirty years" shit on me? Get off your high horse Mr Pompous........
