Well, I would. But then if you looked in my kitchen you'd see that I keep the parsnips next to the pasta and the popcorn. Organized people of the world, unite!Who else has Fad Gadget, Percy Faith, Faith No More, The Fall, Fatboy Slim, Filter, Ella Fitzgerald, The Fixx, Fleetwood Mac, Flo & Eddie, Foo Fighters, Four Tops and Aretha Franklin together on one shelf?
It's the whole package - the song has to work on all levels, not strictly because of the drumming, production, or lyrics. I really don't even think about lyrics, and so I have no objections to Britney Spears or Backstreet or n*Sync. Apart from the lyrics which clearly cater to young teens, a lot of those tracks really rock.

IAt any rate, I think that in mentioning Britney and Co, you left out the original - Michael Jackson.

Bermuda, I know this is a silly question, and you've probably answered it before, but where did the nickname "Bermuda" come from?
Also, wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all of your work with Al. I love all of his stuff, and really respect you as a drummer--it's obvious that you do have to be extremely versatile to play what you play. I can't imagine how much fun it would be to get to play all that different stuff, but it'd be hard too...and I've always been impressed with your playing.
Bermuda, I was wondering if Weird Al has ever tried writing a Beatles parody, and which song(s) would be considered.
Thanks.
"Chicken Pot Pie"? Gawd, that's hilarious. I can hear it in my head. It's absurd that GnR was allowed to do that sub-par remake and yet what surely would have been a more respectful (at least musically) version was not able to be recorded.

It was Axl Rose. It was bound to be sub par.Sub-par? How do you figure it was sub-par? And how is a parody of a song more respectful (in any way) than a cover of a song?

Simply my opinion that the GnR version was sub-par. McCartney's singing was sublime; Axl seemed oblivious to the meaning of the words and sang it like a teenage garage rocker. And as almost any musician will tell you, a parody by Al is a compliment. It is respectful in the meticulous way that the song is reproduced.Sub-par? How do you figure it was sub-par?

You're welcome to your opinion but saying that a Weird Al song is "bound to be sub-par" is simply ridiculous and unsupportable.Hey, I'm no fan of GnR or Axl either, but I wouldn't have made that statement. The same could be said about Weird Al.
