Given a choice between... A) a drummer who's sometimes to drunk to play a drummer who's always trying to bang the fans' girlfriends C) a drummer who a consummate professional & great lyricist, but who skips meet & greets and runs to his bus ...I'd pick "C".

yea i think iu take C also

It's just the way he is, and we need to respect that. If it works for the other two that he doesn't join in on the meet & greets and do the PR, then I think we should shut up.. it's their band and they can divide the labor up as they see fit. I think sitting at that drum kit, which is quite possibly bigger than my house, and putting on the show that he does night after night is work enough. You'll never say that he phoned in a performance. He's on the stage at 100%. He's just a private person and if that works for them... it's good enough for me, I'm just happy to see them still making music as a band. So many bands in their age group have gone by the wayside or are shells of their former selves. They leave their fans disappointed with poor or lackluster shows, these guys don't do that.

Here we are in 2015 still talking aboot how Neil hates touring, like he did in 2008. Maybe he just needs a lot of rest between tours.

 

Like five dates in Europe in 2017?
