The Greatest Drummers of All Time

Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

The perfect rhythmic match for Flea to play off of, Smith crushed every song he’s showed up on. One could say that Chad Smith has “hard feelings” for his drums, meaning that he absolutely punishes his kit and body for his craft. Flea kept Smith around for his “mighty power and great vibes.”

The first show Weezer played was as an opening act for Dogstar, the band in which Keanu Reeves played bass for in the 1990s.
Prince was actually an excellent basketball player.
Before they became (arguably) the biggest pop act of all time, The Beatles had a hard time convincing record labels to sign them. In 1962, they were rejected by Decca Records, whose boss said “guitar groups are on the way out.”
Mary, of “Mary Had A Little Lamb” fame, was a real person and the song is based on a true story.
