This was when there were still awesome rock bands roaming the planet... The Who, Pink Floyd, Rainbow, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult. They were the dinosaurs of rock and they are almost extinct now.

it bugs me when drummers play too fast

[sacker12]

@SlipKid12 Actually, no. This song was recorded in 1981, two years after Moon died. Also, Jones is the drummer in the music video for the song.

@artfuldodgersite it was actually Moon who played on the studio version

@TheWholigans no shit, im thinking is that simon philips, then realized it was kenny! great in the faces though.

@badhead To be fair, listen to the studio version. It's the synthesizer programming that's running a little too fast. So, it sounds like he adjusted by playing 8th notes on the hi-hat to match the tempo of that. On the studio version, he plays quarter notes on the hi-hat. That can also make the song feel like it's faster. Considering that they cut about 20+ seconds off the song's intro, he's only off a couple of seconds for the entire 5 minute song.

@rehnigstan kenny is playing the drums too fast. The rest of the gig hes sopt on though

@EddieAlda as much i like seeing it all show!!

Is it me, or does this seem like the audio and video are disjointed, in their timing, on this? Something just seem funny about this. I am probably just being over-analytical, though.
