February 1983 “In rock and roll, the idea and the attitude are more important than the actual playing. If you don’t have ideas, you’re not going to achieve anything worthwhile.

Without ideas, chops and technique aren’t worthwhile.” — Clem Burke February 1983Original MD interview by Rick Mattinglymoderndrummer.com/archive
