Not saying it isn\'t good without hearing it but couldn\'t the L have had a hand in your experience? Sounds like you had fun but I don\'t see just adding Mickey changing Particle all that much? I gotta hear this now. Are these shows going to be on LMA?
Oh you are very right Walsh The L did "make" the show, but Mickey DID change the way Particle sounded. Basically all the wankery Charlie and Steve do was relegated to being back up to the drums. Particle\'s normal drummer is good @ keeping time and that\'s abt it. Very little creativity which Mickey is ALL ABOUT. When you look @ a HYDRA stage you see Drums and lots of them. It was truly amazing the difference that took place. All the jams that normally peter out had an added layer of rhythmic thickness that pushed them to where they needed to go. I normally would not listen to Particle on disc, HYDRA on the other hand I think I would listen to on disc just for the insane rhythms Mickey lays down. I hope some of these eventually end up somewhere for download.
As for Wah\'s statement. I will be nice in saying Freddie you do not know what you speak of. The Rhythm Devils are yin/yang. Bill=laying down the rock for all to play over. Mickey colors that rock. They are totally different drummers. Always have been and always will be.
GD w/ Bill only = One of the tightest bands ever. I will give you that.
