My Take
Castillo is the kind of drummer I have enormous respect for: the dependable engine behind bands that get all the attention up front. Holding down Queens of the Stone Age for a decade is no small feat, and his restless move through Circle Jerks, The Bronx, Zakk Sabbath and others tells me he simply loves to play, regardless of spotlight. There is something admirable about a musician who measures success by the music itself rather than fame. I find drummers like him are the unsung architects of a sound, and I hope he keeps hitting for many years.
