This is so funny. I love Geddy's answers to the stupid questions in this interview! :laughing guy:

My number three, behind legend Peart and personal favorite Roger Taylor. As you may or may not know, Queen to me, is one of the greatest bands in the world, and I love them. But Roger Taylor is not the best drummer, he is in fact kinda boring as a drummer in my opinion (except for in the early 70s, then he was more fun as a drummer). I’d argue a great drummer knows what’s best to play for what song, and SHA or ANATO alone are proof of Roger’s mastery of this concept. I have seen Queen+ 3 times in my life, and seen Roger do 3 different drum solos, and no, I am not impressed with his drum skills. But he is still perfect for Queen! But in my opinion it is Brian and Freddie that is the strong part in Queen. Oh well, I think he’s a master. And he has a very distinct backbeat that suits Queen’s pomp perfectly. The little clips of open high hat with the snare on 2 and 4 give me so much joy! Don't get me wrong tho, I love the guy, and I would not want to trade him away for someone else in the band. It's just that I think, when I am listening to Queen, the drums is not something I go "wow" for, at least not on the albums made in the 80s and forward. But I do go "wow" for Brian's guitar and Freddie's voice.

So I guess you are a member there as well. Whats your username on there?

These are 3 legend drummers that people that enjoy good music seem to talk a lot about, and some even consider them god of drumming. I like all 3 of them, and their bands they are in, so to me this is a really hard question to answer. But I want to know which drummer is your favorite and why!

And I just pre-ordered this one!

Rush only song that is under 2 mins... BU2B2. The song Hope from Snakes & Arrows was close, but it was 2 secs to long!

I just listened to Geddy's solo record My Favorite Headache for the first time in years, and I was listening to the lyrics on the song Home On The Strange. And it got me thinking... is this song about himself?

They fixed the sound better when they released it on bluray, so why would they not be able to improve it when they release it on vinyl record?

I got it as well, I am so gonna pre-order that! Damn how scary is that, when I am looking on the Rush In Rio CDs, and suddenly they release it on vinyl record. :drool: I hope they do the same with the other live records!

Since Entre_Perpetuo made a top 5 band thread, I am making a top 5 artist thread. So no bands allowed, only solo artists! :) Here is my list, in no particular order: Steven Wilson Lita Ford Ozzy Osbourne David Bowie Jimi Hendrix

This is not a band, this is a artist :P ;) dang it Zumbi now I gotta go find another band to fall in love with! :P That is a good thing, you should be happy about that! Finding new music is great!!!

I found this 3 CD set called Rush In Rio on Rush official website. I do have the original CD set, but that got a different cover art. So I am just curious if this is a remastered version, that they released together with the R40 box set, that had Rush In Rio on bluray. https://rushbackstage.com/product/6XCDRU024/cd-rush-in-rio-3-cd-set?cp=102112_102215_102518 Someone that know?

This is not a band, this is a artist :P ;)

In no particular order: Queen Rush Black Sabbath (Ozz-Sabbath only) Pink Floyd The Beatles

I do not really listen to Slade, because I find their music to be a bit...odd.. But as a live band they are really great! It is such a joy seeing them, and even tho I never listen to their music at home, I am able to sing along to their music, because all they do is sing-along-songs. And I have been lucky to have seen Slade live twice! Both times I had great fun! Last time was last summer, was standing at first row, outside during mid day in the sun. I would love to see them again! Because as a live act, they are really entertainers!

I saw this movie last week, and it was one of the best movies I have ever seen! I laughed, I cried and I learned new stuff about the band. Just a great movie! I will go see it again very soon for sure! Highly recommend it!!

Freddy dies. Oops! I'm sure there will be people going to see this movie who have very little knowledge of Queen or maybe none at all and will be very surprised to learn that Freddy is dead. Something you might learn if you see the movie is that his name is Freddie and not "Freddy"...

Thanks! But Permanent Waves is a 1980s record!

Rock on!

So I missed them again? Dammit! :P

Thanks guys! It's good to be back! :)

Great record! :dweez:
