2. So, my friend HPD, I listened to all these ...

And for me, just cause of when I went to HS in the early '80's, Twilight Zone is the most 'known to me' song ... i.e. I heard it before Radar Love, and like it better actually ... but I have to say, I just don't really appreciate Cesar's drum work that much. It reminds of just like ... random friends I jammed with in HS and College.

All the live stuff you posted, I listen to it and I'm like ... these songs really are pretty good ... but then I just kinda don't like the drumming Maybe cause I grew up listening to really creative drummers like Bonzo, Moon, Peart, Watts, et all.

Totally a personal preference, not saying he sucks or anything, but I'm thinking as I'm listening "How I would want the drums to be if it were my song", and it's just ... not that.

Cesar's drumming on the studio version of Twilight Zone OTOH is pretty nails though.

Not trying to diss what seems to be a fave band of yours, but watching the clips I can't help but feel like if the drummer was a stud ... these guys may've been really huge. I think maybe he held them back a bit

Sorry, edit: Happy Birthday George! That dude's a badass.
