Made me laugh he did the age old thing of playing "Smoke on the Water". Isn't that about the first tune everyone learns to play?
I wonder if they will be going for the Christmas No. 1 next year? Should be a laugh. images/smilies/tongue.gif

It turns out I?m very uncoordinated. I can keep reasonable time with the bass drum but as soon as I move either of my arms my leg forgets what it?s doing and either speeds up or stops altogether.

I sort of knew this might happen because once I tried to fly a helicopter and each time the instructor handed me the controls we started to crash. I kept thinking, ?Look. Sarah bloody Ferguson can do this. So why can?t I?? But I couldn?t. It?s that whole rub your head and pat your tummy thing. Some people can do it easily. I usually end up punching myself in the face.

That would be a great rockband. Clarkson, Alex James and Steve Winwood.

RADAR LOVE? He's sure setting his sights high as a drummer... also they'd need a guitarist rather than a classically trained pianist.

That's so hilarious to read for me, someone who does actually play drums. Sorry, Jezza, you either got rythm or ya don't, it isn't usually something you can just learn images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm just trying to picture Jezza on the drums, counting out loud...and I just can't images/smilies/lol.gif

Nice article. JC in danger of letting his image slide, trying to think of ways to cheer up his mate!
Hope it comes off - should be hilarious.

He could also be able to play the guitar you know! Bill Bailey's also a classically trained pianist too, yet is pretty handy with a guitar.

I can't wait to see JC's new band - it will be hilarious! What's the betting they will cover a The Who song?

I wonder if this story was true. Now that we know Hamster's on his way back, it would be hilarious if they went ahead with this.
