But I have to tell you that Peter... We were all untrained musicians.
Peter played by feel and didn't play by...
verse, bridge, chorus ideas and didn't quite understand that because he was not a songwriter.
He didn't play a musical instrument.
Drums are percussive, not musical.
So literally, you can hear Strutter or one of those songs
And the pattern on the drums is different in the bridge.
Then it'll go to a verse pattern in the verse pattern he had in the middle of the chorus pattern or in the riff data and switch to a chorus pattern.
And there's some strange thing that worked at it, but not logically.
I mean, when Keith Moon, he's not Keith Moon.
He couldn't touch Keith Moon.
But when Keith Moon played with the Who, you can't quite figure out what the patterns are.
Kenny was more a school musician.
Yeah, a great drummer, but stayed.
It brought the energy down, this wild thing.
So I'll never forget, however, good, bad, or otherwise, Paul's out there putting on his Southern... All right, y'all, we're going to do a song now.
It's called Strutter, and it's good.
You know, he's talking about a girl walking down the street...
You know, and he's doing that thing, and I'm hearing, psst, psst, psst.
And I turn around, because I'm a little bit in the dark, Paul's got the spotlight, and Peter wants to say, and my hand to God, Peter's going, which one's that one?
