I dunno about that Coleman. I agree with you that knowing music theory is better than not knowing it, but the vast majority of multi-million record selling bands out there wouldn't know an arpeggio from an armpit.

Case in point, Tommy Lee's adventures in the drumline on "Tommy Lee Goes to College". Tommy is a solid rock drummer. I'd go as far as to say he's better than average...pretty darn good at least. You stick him in a marching band with "real" musicians who can sight read sheet music and he looks like he's never seen a drum in his life.

You can be a very successful musician without knowing much about actual "music".
