I don't think that's Pierre van der Linden on drums. Pierre played with a mismatched grip (like one in a marching band, or a jazz cat), and the fills are not syncopated enough. Probably Bruno Castelucci or Richard Dubois who drummed on some Akkerman albums of the time.

No, it's definitely Pierre van der Linden I saw the band in concert in London. Jan used a drum machine for this track on the Eli album which is what Pierre is emulating.

I agree its not Van der Linden. He always played with a left 'underhand' style. I think its Richard Debois. He is co-credited with drums on the Eli album

[fretwired]

It's Van Der Linden - I went to a gig and saw him.

Does any one know if I can get this album on CD (Eli)

A major influence in my life.

AWESOME STUFF!

[fretwired]

Yep, it's been available for sometime on CD and is also available in a Jap mini sleeve (smaller version of the original album artwork). You can buy it on evilbay as well.

"Sorely needed! my fuckin arse. Punk was shit from day one. I was there. It allowed talentless cunts to make a fortune via the media and they're still doing it today. The legacy of punk is Girls Allowed and Simon Cowbell. Fuckin shit.

@buckmanz I've known his music for over 30 yrs and I've met him once, and you're right about him.

[3984ja]

@buckmanz he sure is a legend and very underrated.
