      Same. I'm also a guitar player but I only watch theese for fun. I know a little drumming, and the only time I use drums is at stores, or use my brothers kit. I was expecting their budget to be 1500. I guess I was wrong.

    I can't say for sure because it was a long time ago, but I do seem to remember, either on a commentary track or some other interview thing, someone talking about John having plexi shields put around his stack to spare it from Mike's flying spittle. I also remember someone mentioning that they called him "the camel" because of his penchant for spitting on stage.
