Second Coming is a fantastic album. It still holds up. Shame Reni was under-used. He at least got to leave us with one of the great drum tracks of all time in Daybreak. Swing to burn, baby. A genius. The biggest loss from the whole Roses break-up saga. We can only dream of what a Reni solo album with friends could've been like. Make a comeback Reni, give us that album!

Every time I hear this album it reminds reminds me of humbug sweets because I remember being 13 on my bed doing my homework and listening to this album tucking into some pre christmas sweeties.I love the way good music stirs the senses like ordinary music never will.

Can't wait to hear this in Dublin ;)

i agree jakeenan-this album was the best for me-not just the drummer...everything and everyone-hence the late comment-im just remembering how much this album rocks! go go stone roses! modern music needs a wake up call!

@stroketheboat I'm a big Led Zeppelin fan and have been listening to the out-takes of Bonham on Fool in the Rain here on YouTube last week. It's a great example of the big heavy groove he gets going and the emphasis his fans place on his bass pedal work but, for me, Reni tops him. Daybreak is very complex in terms of its evolving structure and timing requirements. It's hardly about holding down the same heavy rhythm for 4 minutes.

Another underrated drummer is Jaki Liebeziet of Can. A genius.

@MrThreshold2009 You make a valid point about Reni not being recognised in any lists, but technically speaking, this isn't actually a very complex piece of drumming at all. It does, however, require incredible timing and independence of both hands of feet - there aren't drummers who could play it this well (sad to say that I'm one of them!), however Bonham was on another level with many of the drum-riffs he played with LZ. Check out the drumming in Fool in the Rain, as an example... :)

@MrThreshold2009 Shane Meadows is apparantly filming the shows. He's in talks with them. He said it's his dream cos he missed the Spike Island gig cos of a bad acid trip. All the boxes are being ticked. A new album has to be on the way too. Fingers crossed.

@wildj611 It sure is, dude! Never thought it possible. There's a lot on his shoulders- probably the most out of all them. Sure he can handle it though. He's got a bit of time to get his chops back in shape.

[MrThreshold2009]

This is just remarkable drumming. On a different level in quality and complexity. If Bonham had done this all the Zeppelin sycophants would have been on it saying "this proves he's the best drummer". Instead Reni's never even on Top Drummers lists.... but he's back now! Can't wait to see them live. Couldn't get a ticket for Heaton but with luck someone will record the thing.

@jakeenan It's happening mate!
