Didn’t he do a handful of gigs last year
In the UK ?

like brendan,seems like a good guy.
his current group cant sit around waiting on dates to be announced,everyday without a concert is a day without a wage.

 

[Tolhurst & Co]

Does he say he’s joining the tour? His tweet just says he’s joining them for one show.

Maybe he has a different drummer lined up or he’s doing the gigs to backing tracks like Ian Brown did (hopefully not) or they simply aren’t going to happen.

Ironically Ian Brown needs a vocal track instead of him singing live, which he cannot do.

 

[Young And Alive]

I don't care. You're just another session drummer.

Lawnmower parts?

for me, they don’t need to be technically great, it helps, but it’s a certain character and feel you get from the drummer, which is important to me. So my favorite 3, in order are …


1. Andrew Paresi
2. Spencer Cobrin
3. Brendan Buckley

I agree, I went to his big outdoor gig at Platts Field in Manchester but only because New Order offshoot Bad Lieutenant were supporting, I was quite looking forward to seeing him but he was absolutely shocking and we left half way through his set.

The Stone Roses are one of my top three bands of all time and I love his solo stuff, but it had to be said. I heard the reason for his pitchy vocals was because John Squire had his guitar up so loud playing live but that doesn't excuse his poor vocals as a solo artist. To make things more bizarre there are live performances where his vocals are perfect. Was the festival where Brown played a band or a backing track?

I love that Bad Lieutenant album Never Cry Another Tear. This is Home is a stunning track.

He was with a band. BL opened with This is Home at all the gigs I saw them at, it's a brilliant song.

I concur.

I concur.

These 3 have a bit of swing to them. As good as they are, Matt Walker and the others, are a bit vanilla, IMO.

I've been keeping up with the Lol/Lee/Budgie project for a while now. They've gotten good reviews from their album Los Angeles.

[Mike Rourke]

When I first heard Brendan would be performing with The Cure's original drummer, it cracked me up.
LOL!

 

[Juan Dulces]

It's a plastic passion.

I don't care. You're just another session drummer.

What an idiotic statement. People would die to be "another session drummer" like Brendan and to play with the artists that he has, and to be as talented as he is. You're not a musician anyway, that's for sure.

 

[Orange Crush]

Me dad asks if they're playing the same drum kit. Anyone know?

So true, you have to be highly skilled on your instrument to be a session musician and also have a talent for getting along with people in many different situations.
