    Man loses his arm and then apologizes for destroying the homeowner's stone wall in the incident. I don't think mankind comes any more humble than Rick Allen

    Basically, the guy gets his arm cut in a car accident, recovers and records his drums tracks on Hysteria, one of rock's biggest album. Respect.

    Rick Allen plays drums with one arm, Tommi Iommi plays guitar without finger tips, Richard Benson plays

    He's a great example of "There are NO EXCUSES!"

    Can you imagine how he must've felt losing his arm? Nevermind that he played in one of the best bands of the 80's and was considered the God of drums. We're talking about losing a basic appendage. Seems like a genuinely great guy and am so glad that he worked it out with his drum kit (and plenty of blood, sweat, and tears!). You rock, sir!

    I love this man, he is a BEAUTIFUL human being, has a beautiful spirit and a lovely personality, not to mention his charm and that charming beautiful smile. He is so humble and kind. I admire him and respect him very much.

    Such a sweetheart. He looks way too young to have been going through something like that.

    Amazing how he tells the story. He is sweet and calm and often smiling, even laughing. Gosh, I'm in awe. It's healing power for the listener. I'm going to come back to this regularly, it's cathartic really. 💙
