Absolute icon.
Re: Hal Blaine dies at 90
Legend in the drumming world.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Fuck
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: Hal Blaine dies at 90
He was an absolute legend. One of my favorite Hal Blaine performances is his playing on "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. Blaine and producer Roy Halee found a spot in the studio - I think it was out near the elevators - where the sound was thunderous. The snare shot after "Lie, lie, lie" is incredible. It sounds like a canon.

Re: Hal Blaine dies at 90
Yeah, Hal Blaine is all over SO many classic records, with very little credit if at all.
And I can also recommend a CD of his called 'Buh-Doom!' - a spoken word album of him telling jokes. Yes, really.

Absolute legend and so instrumental (ha!) in the Wall of Sound sound.

BTW, if y'alls haven't seen the documentary The Wrecking Crew, it's well worth the time.

I was just coming here to say this. The stuff with Carole Kaye is particularly great for me.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 1:49pmBTW, if y'alls haven't seen the documentary The Wrecking Crew, it's well worth the time.

Re: Hal Blaine dies at 90
I've also got an audiobook of the same name (I assume the two are connected) but it's never risen high enough in the queue to listen to it.Kory wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 3:52pmI was just coming here to say this.

There's a story about a security man coming around the corner just as Blaine hit his snare - and getting the scare of his life!101Walterton wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 3:09pmI thought that was a canon.WestwayKid wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 7:12amHe was an absolute legend.
