Honestly, how well do you keep up?

Eh, I get through it. I mostly improvise during the songs, but sometimes ill really buckle down and find out what theyre doing and try to play it exactly how theyre doing it, but wheres the fun in that :)

I feel ya Franklinj. Sometimes I just fake my way through stuff in-order to get to the next part I can play.. lol. I appreciate your honesty. I don't think most people would be that honest.

Haha, maybe in a few years ill be able to do all of their songs. Ive only been playing for 2 years and have a 4 piece kit, so doing Tim Alexanders huge fills are a bit challenging : >)

I did buckle down and learn Jerry Was A RaceCar Driver. Not their hardest song, but I learnt it when I just got a db pedal, so it was really challenging for me.

"Jerry was a racecar driver, he drove so god-damn fast. Never did win a checkered flag, but he never did come in last"

Sorry, had to do it ;-)
