A to Z Challenge 2016: A is for Animal and a Battle


 


It is April Fool's Day! Welcome to my humble blog, I have my trusty jesters hat on and I am ready to kick off the A to Z: Challenge 2016! Normally on the first of the month I participate in another Blog Fest called the Battle of the Bands. This month is no exception.

Here are the rules are simple I usually pick a song and present a couple of bands battling it out with the song.  This time I am deviating a little. Today I am pitting to famous drummers against each other in a drum battle. You pick the one you like best by casting your vote in the comments. Why you voted the way you did and other comments are always welcomed. The musicians thought it was tie so your vote could settle the debate. This time round just one video, two drummers, man versus puppets.

Please check out the other battles I defer to the master list found on this site STMcC Presents 'Battle of the Bands'. It is also the place to sign up! I will post results on Sunday April 10 another deviation. I'm feeling pretty deviant today.

Tying in to the A to Z Challenge A is for Animal.  I have Animal who gained fame through The Muppets battling it against Dave Grohl.  I've placed him behind the drums like his Nirvana days and Them Crooked Vultures. No Foos today all fighters!



Please vote! Tune in on April 2 for something to do with B.

This is odd, but I can only see one video. The Muppets are missing!

Hi, Mikey!

This is an outrageous twist to the A to Z and the BOTB! I need to give my vote to Animal of the Muppets because his flams, paradiddles and rimshots are a bit cleaner! :)

Thanks, Mike!

Ha ha ha, good twist on the battle. You may know that I have mad Muppet love, too - but I'm giving my vote to Dave Grohl. He's really grown on me.

Thanks, Mike - good job!

I vote for the puppet ANIMAL, not the human animal.

If the Muppet wins this one, maybe next time you can have a championship round, Animal versus Bamm-Bamm Rubble.

Love it! Happy April Fools and Happy Ato Z challenge kick off. Way to go Animal. You get my vote.

This is a tough battle.

I think they were actually pretty evenly matched.

I'm flipping a coin.

Dave Grohl it is.

Very clever Mike!

Revisit the Tender Years with me during the #AtoZChallenge at Life & Faith in Caneyhead!

John Holton said...

I don't know... I think it's a tie, too. I'll go with Animal, though.

Mary B said...

I have to give my vote to my secret husband, and if I gave my vote to anyone else, it would feel as though I were cheating on him... Mr Grohl

Great Fool's Day Battle!

Animal gets my vote. He is hard to beat

Arlee Bird said...

I guess I'm not that much of a drum expert. One sounded the same as the other to my ear. I guess I'll go for Animal since it's A Day.

Good Luck on your A to Z thingy!

My vote goes to Animal, as he was the first to destroy his drum kit :)

LOVE THIS! What a fabulous battle, Mike—and for April 1st, no less :D And what a predicament you've put us in... How can I possibly choose? Dave versus Animal... Oh, man. But choose I must, eh? Fine. I'll go with Dave. (Just because Animal said so :D )

Excellent battle! (And I'm glad I got here in time to vote! The A2Z is kicking my meager behind...)
