    This is just my opinion, but they're on such good form at that particular gig... I feel that their 'original' drummer holds them back.

    Darby Todd vs Ed Graham

    Darby has energy that Ed seems to lack but at the same time it wouldn't be right without Ed...?

    I dunno. Darby is an ace drummer.

    Yeh, I'm kinda tied. No question that was a blinding performance though.

    Just watched that whole gig! Brilliant! This drummer is significantly better than the previous... althought the previous could play the stuff prefectly well! Its good to see a band having genuine fun playing live..... and not taking it all too serious!

    Have they got rid of Ed Graham then?

    He was a fairly mediocre drummer.

    Not permanently, but he's apparently had health trouble the last couple of years.

    Ed has been back with the band since... oh, probably this might have been the last performance they did with Darby. If I remember correctly.

    All credit to the guy for carrying on, he had both hips replaced... so although yes he's mediocre as a white wall in a house, that takes some doing.

    I was there, they were great, but the people who were there was just ruining it, england just lost the football as soon as they came on, so all the football fans came out of nowhere after and just decided to pretty much be annoying idiots, now I've been in quite a couple of moshpits, but the people at the front were just terrible.
