For all of his hard work and dedication, struggling back against all odds, and persevering, all the while keeping his spirits up.

Way to go Rick!

I think depending on the hair color. My girlfriend's are actually a Charcoal color. They really stand out next to her pale, wrinkly skin.
LOL!

You know I was going to mention that myself, and didnt. But since Dave did... How do you get Metamucil stains out of your guitar strap anyway?

Don't know.......I ain't giving them a chance...I shaved them off!

And I saw an "after the lost arm" concert and it ruled!.(even tho I coulda seen the 82 tour)..
When he lost it, the band expected him to be depressed and worried he'd be replaced..and when they went to see him in the hospital he was tapping out rhythms on the bed rails between his arm and feet. Gotta give it to him...If we'd master his pedal set-up it would sound like we had 3 arms!....or only have to do 1/3 of the work...LOL

Like 2 old friends??

The split was successful for both of them, actually. His arm starred in a
movie. Since then, sadly, his arm developed a substance addiction and has been in seclusion in his Hollywood Hills home. The only recent sighting of the arm was at a casting call for the new Addams Family movie. No announcements have been made.

Hell Yeah Dave & Ralph got really close. Check out my myspace... There are pics and if you look close Ralph is hanging on his shirt. LMAO The bad part is I had to crawl into bed later that night with the both of them. Well let me re-phrase that I had to smell Ralph along with beer sweat!!! wooo baby that was ripe. LMFAO

HE REMINDS ME OF OUR LAST DRUMMER NAMED DJ.

moxham123 · Post by **moxham123** » Saturday Aug 18, 2007

Back in the 60's, there was a band from Massachusetts called The Barbarians who had a one armed drummer but he used a prosthetic hook arm. This guy could play. They had several hits records including:

Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl
Moulty
Hey Little Bird
You've Got To Understand

Here are some videos of them playing live

The bass player looks like a cross between Harry Shearer and Keith Moon.
The hook handed drummer ROCKS!!!!!!!

I agree, kudos to this otherwise healthy man for not giving up after he lost his arm! (If I dood it, I get a whippin'.

I dood it! I mean REALLY, who could MY comment possibly offend any more than some of the others???

) AHEM: However, some disabilities are more cut and dry than others.
