One of the more popular Christmas songs this time of year is 'The Little Drummer Boy'. And after hearing it about 200 times over the past couple weeks, I got to thinking about all the unsung heroes of rock and roll, the drummers! So here is a list of some of the most sick and twisted drummer boys on the planet. And somehow, I get the feeling that most of these guys have stuffed a lot of stocking and dove down many dirty chimneys over the years...

Some people decide to join a rock band for the chicks. Some do it for the money. And some do it because they just love to play music. I dare say Dave Grohl fits into the latter. You can't get more famous than Dave. Safe to say he's got a few bucks in his wallet. Chicks? I'm sure he's got that covered. But fame and fortune don't seem to affect him.

Addiction is an ailment that plagues many rockstars. Some are addicted to drugs, some are alcoholics, some are hooked on women, and others are addicted to EVERYTHING. It really is a terrible thing. Dave Grohl’s addiction is…coffee (and being awesome, but that’s a different post). His problem is spiraling out of control and I think [...]

A lot of rock stars make a few hit records, become famous, and turn into complete and utter dicks. (Think Axl Rose or Prince) Dave Grohl is not a dick. He is one of the few genuinely good guys in music. He cares about the fans and he cares about the music. He took the [...]
