Carl Palmer is the only one who could wear Buddy´s boots. Never boring and perfectly fitting the music played, like ELP (rock´s best power trio btw) and his CPB playing ELP music with young brilliant musicians. These lads carry the torch to keep ELP´s and Prog music alive. Huge respect. Thanks to people like Carl Palmer Prog/Art will survive all the mediocre and total crap that´s been produced all over world. Prog will last forever : )
Besides, as seen on YT videos, today his better than in the ELP´s pinnacle, better than ever, and certainly the best of his age.
And certainly the funniest as seen on certain videos. True humor no BS showing off. Pure talent. A true musician and an artist.
Like was Jon Hiseman, 1944 - 2018. Huge respect RIP

Lee Kerslake w/ Gary Thain (the best of the all), Bill Ward w/ Geezer Butler, Ted McKenna w/ Chris Glen, Ian Paice w/ Roger Glover
