......it's written in pop music history that either he, Earl Palmer, or Gary Chester, played on all those big hits being churned out of the studios in their hey-day. So I got to wondering if this still goes on today?
I do know Steely Dan listed the musicians they used on tracks, and I do know Steve Jordan played on the one Pretender's tune "Don't Get Me Wrong" (which is the most un-Pretender's song I've ever heard) back in the 90s. But would it be strange to find out that studio musicians still ghost behind bands?
What if Dave Grohl didn't play on those Nirvana albums? What if Lars was actually Jim Keltner? In fact, didn't Jim Keltner ghost some tracks on an Aerosmith album in the 80s? I'm speculating, of course, I don't know for sure. But maybe someone here knows if this is true, or maybe it is true and I'm the only one who doesn't know?
I read Allan Schwartzberg ghosted Peter Criss in the studio? What if Alex Van Halen didn't play Hot for Teacher? Wouldn't that be weird?
If stuff like this still goes on, then at least I'm not alone that only my generations' favorite drummers are one guy
