    Dave is a powerhouse on the drums...when Them Crooked Vultures came out I was excited he was drumming!

    And of course, Songs for the Deaf by QOTSA.

    It was interesting to see how pissed Taylor & Nate were about this, but it sure was fucking awesome. Might be the best album of the 00's.

    Someone on the thread talking about Mike joining Soundgarden on stage last night posted this pic of Dave in the crowd in the pit, just having fun and being a fan. This adds to his awesome level even more.

    I've picked up Men's smalls for my teenage (petite) daughter and those fit perfectly... hope that helps.

    I thought I heard that YouTube was doing a live stream. Can't research due to work.
