Even the Black Metallists like it!

The article is total BS! The guy is just making stuff up.

Voting for Driven in this one.

 

The E category is going to be easy. Only one good song there.

 

Emotion Detector?

I always thought The Anarchist had a narcissistic undercurrent to it.

 

Oh no doubt there are drummers beyond Neils level who would chomp at the bit to do it....

 

But......that's not Rush.....and I wouldn't be thrilled with the prospect either.....nah.

 

Also they'd have a tough time finding a drummer who could write lyrics, too.

Just think Neil, you can retire in two short years!

 

And be eligible for Medicare.

 

Finally someone can look at his tendonitis. Then the concert tours can continue!

Just think Neil, you can retire in two short years!

(sentence from wrong thread)

Yeah reading this has colored my opinion....the soloing article made me think.."See...NP is excited about playing"....this article with the Jack Black reference made me think.....shit.

 

NP may feel he's done all with drumming he possibly can ( he hasn't but I get it)......

 

I think he likes drumming but hates touring. He wanted to call it quits back in 1989, and just do studio albums, but had an epiphany that a band is only a band if they play live.

One of my kids had some amusing interpretations:

 

The Anarchist:

 

A missing part of nematodes around me like a cage

 

Show Don't Tell chorus:

 

Shove it all down me!

Sounds like Alex's health is the real reason the band finally called it quits. Even more so than Neil's "attitude problem."

( CA == VT ) >= SA

 

(In other words, they're very close.)

you think neil's "I'm better than you, don't talk to me" schtick would be so endearing in a construction yard?

 

It's more like "I'm not better than you, don't worship me."

 

He doesn't like when people worship him like a god.

As long as they still get drunk together, they must be good friends...

After his family tragedy, he told Geddy and Alex that he didn't want to do any more interviews or press conferences. So he let them take care of that.

 

I've heard that he's friendly and outgoing if you don't know who he is.

 

Presto is a great album! I always reach for it when I'm drawing; it sets the perfect mood My favourites are The Pass, War Paint, Presto, Available Light, and Show Don't Tell Hand Over Fist, Chain Lightning and Anagram are good, but I don't care too much for Scars and Red Tide. Superconductor is a pretty groovy tune although lots of people seem to hate it haha

 

They certainly seem to hate it LC, which probably dates back to the xanaconductor fiasco of 1991. I agree with the songs you like,and dare I say that I would even add red tide to the like list

Xanaconductor fiasco? I'm almost afraid to ask...

Behold the inexplicable segue... @ 1:05

 

Holy crap! Talk about an awkward transition.

Wow, almost a year since I posted that question. Of course my opinion has changed since then:

 

Worst Album: HYF

Best Song: Turn the Page

A blog, he has: http://www.neilpeart.net/

 

Maybe he's still working his way through that celebratory barrel of scotch.

 

(Has a twitter account too:

)

Yes, but poorly.

Epiphone is a really good make for beginners and has a pretty decent sound. If your looking for a brand new guitar, epiphones cheapest models will probably run you $300-$500. That's around the cheapest your going to find for any brand new guitar. But really if you think that's expensive, go take a look over at gibsons models.

 

I too have heard similar recommendations regarding the Epiphone.

No, I think they accomplished their goals with one leg. (See image!). No more legs!

SCIENCE!

Neil's had almost 3 weeks now. Enough lollygagging! Another leg or a new album, I don't care which. Back to work! :P

 

Turn off the TV, put down the scotch, get off the couch, and get back to work!
