Why don't people ever add Ian Paice of Deep Purple to the greatest drummers of r&r? Ever heard The Mule?

On the outside chance you read this, I'll be in Austin next weekend, 21st to 24th, any good metal/rock music spots you recommend checking out? Been googling for an hour or so, and ain't finding shit...

[@BornTooNate]

I’ll be at Hells Heroes this weekend or I’d show ya around. For record stores, check out end of an ear, also Waterloo has a surprisingly good metal selection. For shows/metal hangouts I would look into The Lost Well, Valhalla, and the Mohawk
