Zak's got balls...

No kidding.
 
You never know what to expect form Zak, that's another reason I like  him.
 
In Detroit when the synth for BO'R started, I waited to see how he was  gonna 
start the drum attack at the beginning.  Instead of playing the seven  beats, 
he started it early and did this bad-ass fill around the kit lightning  fast 
and ended right with the proper down beat and just pounded it from there  with 
the cymbal crashes. I've never seen that one before.
 
As for WGFA, Ernie, you been sippin' smoke, dude. 
 
When we saw that tribute band called Who's Next after MSG 1, their "Keith"  
hit that part in WGFA beat for beat just like on the album.  The guy was  
really good.  But the thing is, it was a parody.  If *I* could do  that, surely Zak 
can.  He doesn't do it on purpose for the reason that he's  in a living band 
that still has creative force.  He ain't Keith Moon.   He's Zak Starkey. And 
this is 2006. I totally accept him and I reject all  others.  Why?  Probably 
because Keith had something to do with him.  But that's subjective.  The 
objective part is that he's a genuine Who-style  drummer.
 
Yes, he never takes his eyes off of Pete. This is what a Who drummer should  
do.  
 
Jon in Mi.
