I totally agree Scott,

I was watching with my young (16) son and I told him "these guys had 
some of the best music ever when I was younger".  I proceeded to tell 
him about John and Keth and all and his response was "is that the 
original drummers kit?"  And as he was asking this  Zak was doing  a 
pathetic Keith  Moon on Won't Get Fooled aAgain, and sadly I said " no 
so that ain't Keith Moon's drums and not even close to what the real guy 
could/would do".
