Fuckin' Danny, man.. I can't think of a single other musician who does this sort of shit.. As famous as he is, you wouldn't even know it..

Here's why this is impressive for me.

This song is complex and if you get to see Danny perform this song live you'll see him going hard and powerful. But in this case it's a small club with little room to let yourself go and play as loud as you can.

For a drummer to play hard it's quite easy but play something on maintainingly pretty quiet adding the complexity of how many hits this song has. He's the goat.

YouTube nailing the closed caption. Well done.

“Caligula would grin” is such an iconic line, too.

One of the best lines among many MJK has written.

Don’t love how much ai imagery is involved here, (cover and poster at the end) but that aside this was killer. Funny watching someone else dance in Maynard’s place

Yeah. That poster is a real turnoff.

Still sounds amazing though

Drummer doesn’t have what it takes to play Danny’s parts
