Have you heard from him since he went to Oz?

The Kings of Leon seem to combine some frantic guitar work with some of the most intense drumming I've heard.

A lot of their songs start with drum or bass lines that disappear into the song and seem to magically resurface from time to time. I was very annoyed when…

Not their target demographic (a phrase worked to death in our house) but I am a huge fan.

...the Asheton brothers. At the moment, I am mostly listening to this and am struck how the guitar and drums hold things together, and how melodic the bass parts are.

Townshend and Moon; Richards and Watts; Cooder and Keltner....

("I haven't seen you in a while Hadyn, where have you been?" "Why do you think you've gained weight Hadyn?")

Ahaha! No comeback possible?

"What are you talking about, HAL?"

*not factoids, I've (sort of) learned my lesson

Stuff he did with John Mayle's Bluesbeakers. And Cream.

Both bands with a superb drummer. I firmly believe a great guitarist needs a great drummer, otherwise its very boring, one hand clapping stuff you only find exciting…

Clapton is usually pretty boring to look at. :)

and listen to. Never could understand why the guy is supposedly held in such high regard. Like a thirteen year old, he plays all lead and no rhythm, and even that is just an endless display of unfelt, ripped-off little stock…

Sorry can't help with the noise (or invite you over for a game)

Damn it (was angling for the second) =>

Nope. Newtown, Wellington. Sorry can't help with the noise (or invite you over for a game)

And Clem Bourke of Blondie was Elvis Ramone for about five minutes before he realised he couldn't play that…

We only stopped because it was getting late and we didn't want to annoy the neighbours.

This might be a rather odd question, but you don't live in the top northwest corner apartment in a certain warehouse-conversion in Grey Lynn do you? Based on those photos you could be, and…

And isn't there going to be an entire Beatles edition of the game?

Yep, I'm very stoked. And you're totally welcome to come around and jam.

Hopefully it has Overkill by Motorhead, if your drummer can survive that Philthy Phil workout then respect.

I don't think so, but it does…

Oh, and a James Brown and the JBs live 10-15 minute version of Cold Sweat or Soul Power would sort out the drummers from the posers as well!

I realise I can't think of one technically proficient but aesthetically boring rock guitarist.
