OMG. Look how high up those cymbals are. And how far away what I'm guessing is the ride.

Awesome ?

Did your bass amp play the splash cymbal?

Nice! You guys were retro before if retro ever becomes cool.

I bet you still have the gear, or their VST equivalent.

Cheaper than buying leopardskin ones. Just wear white ones for 50 years.

Paulo:  "Hey Bapu, do you prefer boxers or briefs?"

Bapu: "Depends."

That was either before we had or after we lost our lead singer.

I heard that the picture of Bapu's first ever gig was chiselled into a cave wall.
