WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took to his The Kurt Angle Show podcast, where he discussed how he dreamed of being in a band with pro wrestling legend and current AEW Star Chris Jericho because he knew Chris Jericho was the lead singer of his band and he is a really good drummer.
Kurt Angle said:
“I had this dream. I knew Chris Jericho was the lead singer for his band. We were in WWE and every day I wanted to go up to him and just say, ‘Hey, can I be part of your band? We can do an album, and WWE can record it, and we could be big rock stars.’ I thought, ‘You know what? I’m a drummer. I’m really good. So I think Chris would would take me in.’ But the problem is he already had a drummer, so I never asked him. I wish I would have. There could have been two drummers in his band. You never know.”
Kurt Angle also talked about how he learned the song Tom Sawyer by the legendary rock band Rush for 5 years and how he can now play it perfectly.
Kurt Angle said:
“Tom Sawyer. Neil Peart is a badass. It took me five years to perfect that song. The drums in that song are the most difficult drumming I’ve ever seen. I can play it perfectly. The whole drum solo, everything. I learned that from a tee. I listened to that song every day, all day long, and I got it down.”
