except for Jim Masdea on "Rock And Roll Band".


For all I know, Jim recorded all the drum parts for the demos - but Sib re-recorded the bulk of them and did the drums for Don't Look Back.

But I just don't believe Scholz ever recorded the acoustic drums for any release. I've been wrong before.


As far as a "vision" - Boston was mostly the vision of Tom Scholz. No one denies that. He's also one of the most influential guitarists of the late 70s - probably would be the most if it wasn't for a kid named Eddie Van Halen.

He also had some excellent help on those first 2 Boston albums which were amazing (the first album particularly).

He could've been in the conversation when talking about the greats, if only he'd picked up the pace a little more, lol...instead, he got passed over by the other greats in that era. So much, by the time he went back on the road (Third Stage), he was trying to keep up with the Joneses by aping EVH guitar licks for his solo spots during the shows...
