Hi everyone. I was just wondering, as I'm a big fan of Mick's work, if anyone else has noticed that he sometimes does some rather strange movements with his mouth, during live performances... It sometimes looks almost as if he is mouthing the words to a completely different song, and other times, his tongue seems to be trying to escape through his cheek. I'm not having a go at him, cos as I said, I am a big fan, I just find it faintly amusing and was wondering if anyone did. Take a close look at him during a live song, on YouTube for example, and see if you can see what he's doing! Peace and love  |

Yes, i have noticed that too! I think its just his "drumming face" cause he is concentrating! i must admit i find it slightly amusing and also quite endearing  |

Many great drummers have that habit although all different..take a look at Dennis Diken of the Smithereens, Keith Moon, Charlie Watts, Ginger Baker, John Bonham who come to mind off the top of my head. as a one time drummer myself it helps a drummer to keep time in his head, sometimes it his way of counting beats and rhythm patterns  |

Mick is a very good drummer, you cant take that away from him.
Is it bad that I find his face amusing? I dont mean it in a nasty way.

I think his expressions are charming, and I know exactly what you mean, Pete.

Sleepwalker - I would never dream of being disrespectful towards any member of the band. I've been a fan for so long, they almost feel lke family members to me! |

Just a little update on Mick...
Dont know how true this is, but I've heard a very faint rumour recently that Mick may be taking on some new work. I've heard snippets of things, but like I said, very vague, and I want to try to find out more.
If anyone else has heard anything, let me know. I'll post on here if I can get any more info.

Well, Sleepwalker, I did hear about him doing some non-music related work recently but havent been able to find out much more yet. Rumour has it that he still talks to his fans, but not in the usual sense....

I might imagine that he might take up administration work or some kind of activity in the accounting working for Ray?
