Title: Mike Baird, legendary drummer
Post by: TheSlyBear on August 15, 2013, 07:53:05 PM

I happened to be looking at the music video for I'll Be Alright Without You by Journey from the mid 80's, and noticed that the drummer sported a pronounced bald spot.

Curious to know if he'd gone sly since, I looked him up, and sure enough! He's one of us.

Mike has drummed for many major acts in addition to Journey. Link to Wikipedia page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Baird_(musician))

For the curious, here's a still from the video that sparked my interest.

GREAT find Bear!! I loved Journey back in the days of Raised on Radio, etc. Still a great band. I see that Mike has embraced the sly look... it looks great on him!
