As a solo artist Wild Bob has developed his music abilities further. This veteran has saved many "lost souls" and got them back as real believing Rock 'n' Roll fans. Wild Bob Burgos has of course his heroes and mentors among drummers from the music history. One of his first ideals was Earl Phillips who played behind the legendary Bluesman Jimmy Reed. This explains a lot of Wild Bob's attitude towards good music. Jimmy Reed's records have this sad feeling mixed up with a strong beat. His "Big Boss Man" is a stone in the Rock 'n' Roll wall. "I've always loved that electric Chicago Blues feel, that I was brought up on when I was at school. I used to tune into the radio stations and hear this wonderful music that has stayed with me ever since. So I guess I am a true Blues Rocker !" Explains Wild Bob Burgos. Other great drummers that have inspired Wild Bob are Pretty Purdie (Played for James Brown, Nina Simone and Brook Benton), J.M. Van Eaton (Houserocker at Sun Records), and of course Earl Palmer "King of the Back Beat"( Played for Fats Domino, Little Richard and many others). "Get Rhythm" as Johnny Cash once formed it, is a necessary formular for delivering high quality Rock 'n' Roll and other good music. Even Mozart knew that ! Wild Bob Burgos has a clear philosophy on this matter.
"Drums, Bass and Rhythm Guitar,...These instruments alone will Rock any crowd, anywhere, and at any time, 'cause I've seen it, and done it with Chuck, and with other bands too. I've seen people frenzy when they hear a steam train Rhythm section, and it's a real great feeling when I realise that it is me driving that beat,....Especially when I'm looking out over the stage to 20,000 Rockin' people ! ! It's an amazing feeling, and hard to explain." Says Wild Bob Burgos. I think Wild Bob should watch his 'phone. If Charlie Watts gets too tired in his arms, Mick Jagger will make a call and offer him a job !
