When watching Liam FInn play the drums the other night, all I could think of was Animal from the muppets (the drummer one)..So funny. Looked just like him.

Not an insult as both of them seem pretty damn cool...

    I can see where you're coming from, but as i understand it, Animal was based on the late, EXTREMELY great, Keith Moon.
    Liam's still one hell of a performer though

    Ha! My wife said "Animal" after the first song tonight! Very entertaining!

    I said the same thing to my sister at DC1. He does look a lot like Animal on those drums. Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!

    nope.

    i watched a documentary and Jim Henson's son talked about how his dad made animal after Mick.

    funny thing is if you see Mick perform live you will see immediately "that's animal!!"

    You're right. I have seen Mick a few times and even when he's playing something calm, he has that Animal mannerism. Funny.
