I've seen Carl Palmer play live several times now. He always as a couple 
of other performers with him (because, let's face it, who's going to 
listen to a drummer for 2 hours?) One of them is this guy called Paul or 
something. He looks about 12 years old [although obviously he isn't]. 
Big mop of blond hair. And he can do absurd things to a guitar. I'll 
never forget watching him play The Flight of the Bumblebee. Christ, that 
was insane...

Some might argue that the facial expressions are over the top. But hey, 
when you can play this well, I think you're entitled to look enthusiastic!

I have no idea how the hell somebody this young got to be so damned good.
