An amazing man! Great to hear his connection with God, refreshing to hear a rock star drummer speak in that way. I too need to consult God above for direction. Bless this man! Love you Tommy!
XLNT VIDEO!!! JUST ONE FLAW! IT WAS TOOOO SHORT! I SEE TOMMY HAS CHANGED HIS ATTITUDE RE: BLACK OAK! MAYBE AGE AND THE LORD HAS GIVEN HIM THE STRENTH TO FORGIVE THE RAT MANAGEMENT OF THAT BAND! IN ALL FAIRNESS THEY DID PUT HIM ON THE MAP AS AN ESTABLISHED ROCK DRUMMER! TOMMY'S A GREAT GUY FROM WHAT I KNOW OF HIM. I ACTUALLY MET HIM IN OAKLAND ARKANSAS 75 I THINK, AT THE COMPOUND WHERE THEY WERE LIVING WHEN NOT ON TOUR! JUST SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI LINE ON BULL SHOALS LAKE, THEY HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK FROM ENGLAND RECORDING AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL WHICH WAS USED ON THEIR BIO. I HAD JUST MET MOST OF THE BAND AND MANAGEMENT AT THEIR HEADQUARTERS, WALKED OUTSIDE AND HEARD THIS ROARING HP COMING FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE COMPOUND AND UP PULLS TOMMY IN THIS BITCHEN SILVER PANTERA! HE CALLED THE GREY GHOST, AFTER RUBY'S BAND, LISTEN TO HER ALBUM SCENE STEALER, TOMMY PLAYED DRUMS ON AND JIMMY HENDERSON LEAD GUITAR, BITCHEN ALBUM! TOTALLY UNDERRATED! ANYWAY THE PANTERA WAS ONLY FIRING ON 6 CYLINDERS AS HE WAS PISSED AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN TUNED UP AND WAITING FOR HIM. HE DID HAVE QUITE A HYPERACTIVE TEMPER. BUT IM SURE HE WAS WORN OUT FROM THE ROAD! AND THE FACT LIKE HE SAID HE WAS TRAPPED IN WHAT HE DEEMED A NIGHTMARE, YOU COULD SEE IT IN THAT VIDEO, AT LEAST I COULD. I WAS ABLE TO FIX TOMMY'S CLEAVLAND MOTOR AS SOMEONE JUST HAD 2 PLUG WIRES CROSSED. HE GOT A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE AFTER THAT! RUBY STARR TOOK A PICTURE OF ME AND TOMMY BEFORE THE FIX SO HE STILL LOOKED PISSED!😂! AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT THAT WAS MY LAST PICTURE ON MY LAST ROLE AS I GOT CARRIED AWAY TAKING PICTURES OF MY MUSICAL HEROS AND THEIR AWESOM FORT "COMPOUND"! I ULTIMATELY WANTED TO BE HIS DRUM ROADIE BUT HE TOLD ME IF I WANTED TO MAKE IT AS A DRUMMER I NEEDED TO STAY BEHIND THE DRUMS. HE SAID YOU WILL ONLY AMOUNT TO BEING A CARNY, (ROADIE), AND WARE YOURSELF RAGGED FOR VERY LITTLE PAY. SO I'LL NEVER KNOW HOW THAT WOULDA PANNED OUT! BUT I DID SEE HIM 2 YEARS LATER IN NEW YORK. I WAS TOURING WITH A BAND. GOT TO GO TO HIS SOUNDCHECK AND BACKSTAGE! HE GAVE ME MY FIRST SET OF EVANS HYDRAULIC HEADS HE'D PLAYED ON FOR THREE CONCERTS. TOLD ME WE WERE EVEN FOR THE QUICK FIX IN OAKLAND A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK! TOMMY BY FAR AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST SHOW DRUMMER AND MOST DISCIPLINED MUSICIAN YOU WILL EVER MEET! TRUELY A LOVER AND MASTER OF HIS CRAFT! OH YEAH! BTW, I GOTTA TELL YA, I SAW HIM DO A DRUM CLINIC IN HOLLYWOOD IN THE SUMMER OF 1987. I WAS STANDING NEXT TO RUDY SARZO ON ONE SIDE AND THIS 8 YR OLD KID AND HIS MOTHER ON THE OTHER. SHE BOLDLY ASKED TOMMY IF HER SON COULD COME UP AND PLAY HIS DRUMS JUST FOR A MINUTE! EVERYBODY STARTS CLAPPING AND TOMMY THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE SO THIS LITTLE KID GOES UP BARELY ABLE TO REACH THE PEDALS AND LITERALLY STARTS WHALING ON TOMMY'S KIT!!! SERIOUSLY! RUDYS LAUGHING AND EVERYBODY IS CLAPPING AND YELLING IN AWE!!! YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT BUT TOMMY GOT PRETTY AGITATED! HE SAID , THIS IS BS! SOMEONE PLANTED THIS KID IN THE AUDIENCE! WELL IT TURNED OUT THAT LITTLE KID ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER WAS ON JOHNNY CARSON DOING A SOLO PLAYIN WITH THE BAND!YOU CAN RUclips IT. THAT LITTLE KID WAS JACOB ARMEN! HIS MOM WORKED AT MACY'S IN WOODLAND HILLS, SHE GAVE ME ONE OF THE FIRST COPIES OF HIS FIRST CD A FEW YEARS LATER. HE WAS AN AMAZING DRUMMER! MAN! THE POWER OF FATE!!! IM GLAD TO SEE TOMMY IS STILL HONORING THE LORD! BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE MATTERS! WE ALL HAVE A DATE OF JUDGEMENT! IF YOUR NOT LIVING FOR HIS SON AND FORSAKING YOUR SINS, THEN YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY WILL BE OF CONDEMNATION, NOT CELEBRATION! HELL AND THE LAKE OF FIRE WILL BE YOUR CONDEMNNED ETERNITY! LIKE TOMMY SAID , HE COMES FIRST!!!THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO THE FATHER IN HEAVEN AND THAT IS THROUGH JESUS HIS SON WHILE YOUR STILL HERE ON 🌎 EARTH! JOHN 14:6!!! READ THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO CHAPTER 3! JESUS MAKES IT CLEAR, YOU MUST BE """BORN AGAIN""" TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!!!! FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOST, READ ROMANS CHAPTER 1 VS 18- 32. YOU WILL SEE YOURSELF IN THAT SCRIPTURE! GOD has given you Everything You See, touch, smell and hear! He gives you every Beat of your Heart and Every Breath You Take! And the masses of Sinners Couldn't care less! You have NO idea of your time of Death and are Litterally playing Russian Roulette with your Eternal Soul Every day! Once HE Stops your Heart ,it will be 2 late!!! Get Right with GOD while you still can! Read the Gospels! Read Romans chapters 6 thru 8, AT LEAST! WANT WISDOM READ THE BOOK OF PROVERBS! THERE IS 31 OF THEM 1 FOR EACH DAY OF THE MONTH! AND ALSO ECCLESTIASTES, WISDOM OF THE SMARTEST AND RICHEST MAN TO HAVE EVER LIVED! SOLOMON! WANT PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING? READ THE BOOK OF PSALMS! THE BEST SLEEPING AID YOU WILL EVER FIND!!! WITH JOY AND PEACE THAT THE WORLD CAN "NOT" GIVE YOU!!! GOD BLESS!!! 1 MORE THING! RUclips RAY COMFORT, LIVING WATERS MINISTRY AND WATCH HIS VIDEOS AND MOVIE'S AND ALL THIS WILL MAKE SENSE! HOPE TO SEE YOU IN ETERNAL BLISS!
