Im not saying he's a bad drummer Travis, far from it. But in 30 years will he be remembered like Neil Peart or John Bonham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmythescumbag Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 LOL at Peart and Bonham...overrated wankers imho. Yeah, they are decent drummers for what they do, but.... Jazz drummers ftw (even though no one remembers them like the two above ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kissthesharks Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 the hot topic flag is at half mast today Seriously.

Guest errolwest Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Does this mean and end to the shit reign of their music?? Dear god I hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eroc Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i'll admit it. i really liked their first two full lengths. met those dudes (sans m. shadows cause he was a t00l even then) at a warped tour many years back and they were some really genuinely nice people. i kinda gave up after reading all the stuck up (we don't want to be part of that scene...so now we play ozzfest) and right wing comments from them over the years. maybe i should dig out that signed ticket or old belt buckle for eBay?

Yeah, they are decent drummers for what they do, but....Jazz drummers ftw (even though no one remembers them like the two above ). Bonham yes, however I think Peart deserves the praise he gets. Compared to today's caliber of musicians he would probably be considered only slightly above average, but in the 70s and 80s he was by far one of the best...imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well, not to take away from Peart, as he does deserve his place in the drumming world, but there were sooooooo many better drummers doing progressive music in the 70s. Rush was so popular that people can easily remember Peart, but there are tons of fusion players that could run circles around him all day...just my $0.02.

steventangent Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 What makes "today's caliber of musicians" so great? And it's sorta silly to compare rock icons to jazz drummers. What's next, you're going to say that Jimmy Page wasn't as good as Al di Miola? It seems snobbish and it's like comparing apples to oranges.

Even outside of jazz vs. rock drummers, there were a lot of progressive rock bands with great drummers that could stand toe to toe with Peart. That was essentially my point to begin with.

ohiopride Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 he is the tallest guy in the band and so talkative when he visit thailand.r.i.p. the rev.... when i booked those guys back in 02' he was the one i talked to, really nice and appreciative. i remember him saying "thanks so much for the show and booking my band, thank you." i didn't care to much for anything after "STST", but give credit where credit is due, he was a phenomenal drummer.
