    When James auditioned for Kingdom Come, Lenny Wolfe said that unless John Bonham walks in the room, you've got the gig. James and the band took a lot of flack. Critics were saying they were a Zeppelin rip off. Check out their tune Get It On. James does a little solo at the end too! Always one of my favorite drummers. Love him to death.

      Honor???
      He drums for The Scorpions, as you must know, which by definition makes him one of the best in the world.
      But we get it. You wanted everyone to know you and Kottak are "buddies". Actually your comment did just the opposite, showing instead how little you know about him.
      Kinda desperate of you.

    • @cristyrawks6325
      @cristyrawks6325 9 лет назад +1

      sigh.... hater? I talk like that to him all the time AND he would tell you himself that Bonzo was one of the best in the world and playing one of HIS songs WAS an honor. James would agree. smh I really don't know why you felt it necessary to post what you did. I can't understand that type of behavior. Blessings.

    • @drServitis
      @drServitis 9 лет назад +4

      Cristy Rawks Just calling you out on your desperate bid for attention. You're seriously embarrassing yourself with it. You address your comment to James to make us think you and he are buddies, yet obviously James will never see this video or read your comment, so your comment is actually addressed to the rest of us, and not James, to try to make us think you're tight with him. At least four months and he hasn't responded. Even your worship of Bonzo in your last comment is silly when it comes to Kottak. James has reached a level of equanimity with Bonzo in the rock world, and he plays just as well too. AND he hasn't killed himself. You're a real desperate goof and your comment makes you just look silly. But hey, whatever helps you feel better about yourself.

      Well I don't know who you are and let's keep it that way...but yes I am friends with James AND Athena oh yeah and Matthias Jabs. As I sit here smiling with satisfaction that yes actually I do know them all, you can go onto Facebook or Twitter and ask. But he won't answer cuz there is nothing that he hates more but bullshit drama. But seriously try it. Oh and I help admin one of the largest Scorpions pages on Facebook, of which James is on and was part of our drummer contest and sent the winner a great prize package and we PM back and forth and I have been friends with Matthias for 8 years and the crazy stickman for that long too when I met them in Vegas 2007; Go onto the Greek Fan Club on FB, the French fan club, the Brazil fan club, etc and they know me and they know I know these guys. Now settle down and quit hatin and just accept the fact that maybe just maybe, some ppl actually know these guys. SMH LOL
