They should count their blessings.

It could be worse.

It could always be much worse... (pops)

I notice it's Neil, and not Geddy, that you used as a baseline for "any worse than," subby.

Hmmm.. I guess i will draw everyone's musical ire and say that Neil Peart's solos are never just average.

THERE IS NO F*CKING DRUMMER BETTER THAN NEAL PEART!

/Cheetos.

It's weird but the sound of the MTA train leaving my station sounds like a caterwauling industrial verion of "Somewhere" from Westside Story. It's unnerving, annoying, and awesome at the same time.

Yay. Another troll headline.

Imagine that.

There is no average Neil Peart solo - they're all identical. He has been playing the same solo for 30 years.

The fat chick who played bass drum in my high school's marching band play drums better than Peart. She'd put out if you gave her a twinky.

Those don't count as "girls".

And the outfits aren't sexy. Mostly because they're swaddling ungodly plastic beasts.

Have you ever seen a real human? They don't look like that.

I've seen tons of these "this drummer rocks, this one sucks" threads, and nobody (that I've seen) ever mentions Dennis Chambers. (^)

This shows your level of musical ineptitude. You should stick to your techno boys crap and quit commenting on actual music when you make comments like that.

Don't let him bother you. He's probably one of those types who slobers all over travis barker's knob.

Did anyone else think the headline was referring to those annoying Subway sandwich shop "$5 Dollar Footlong" ads?

...or maybe it was just me?

This is true. However, she does have real boobs.


I concede defeat to your counter-point.


/My counterpart, my foolish heart...

Are you asking to be labeled as a FarkFatty or are you just outing yourself?

When Rob Zombie toured with Ozzy a couple years ago his drummer had a perfect solo spot - it was simple, energetic, not too flashy and only about a minute long. He got the crown amped up for the next song and went right into it.

If you're gonna solo on anything, it should be quick & to the point. Flash some skill & keep the concert moving.

I play drums, she is quite real and is a drummer. and she has more gold records than you.

I play drums too, find her hard to listen to because she's always behind the beat, and she has more gold records AND a better rack than I do.


/I also found Famous Monsters hard to listen to for the same reason

Cacophony? I listened to some Jason Becker last night.

The core of his drum solo has been largely the same in the past 30 years, I'll give you that. It's still pretty sweet, though.

i think its just fun and games to piss off rush fans these days.

i dont like rush at all. but i never knock them. i know they're all skilled musicians. i have a thing to never try an beat up on any band that write their own songs. i will say i dont like their songs... but not "they suck". because lets face it... how many of you can sit down and write a song that other people are willing to listen to?

ps thanks for that pic of meg white. shes farking hottttt

I know you post that at every opportunity, but still, God bless you. I love that video.

A little cacophony would improve Neil Peart's playing.

I love thatpeople are judging the music by reading the article..much liike people often judge the article by reading the headline.

LTTFM morons!

Neal Peart is one of the only drummers whose solos are interesting.
