Geddy's Soul Patch Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Recently, while watching the live version of "A Passage to Bangkok" from the Snakes and Arrows Tour I noticed that Neil doesn't play the drum fills during the chorus. I assume that Neil is extremely embarrassed by the lyrics of that song and not playing the drum fills is his little way of protesting the song. Any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kB0vgbB7zs&t=1m2s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Didn't he write the lyrics?Maybe he considers all his lyrics like his children. This one is the red-headed stepchild...... Edited December 28, 2013 by Narpet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lachrymal Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think you're definitely right! Look at him when he's playing those cowbells at the beginning, he hates it! You can just hear him thinking to himself "oh, young Neil, so full of foolish big ideas, what were you THINKING" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatLightInYourEyes Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Maybe he's just tired...... :) Sometimes I wonder whether he has some sort of chronic pain issue and just doesn't talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack jaw gaze Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Recently, while watching the live version of "A Passage to Bangkok" from the Snakes and Arrows Tour I noticed that Neil doesn't play the drum fills during the chorus.

Any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kB0vgbB7zs&t=1m2sYou should write him a letter and tell him how to play the song properly. I've heard tips from fans are the source for most of his drum ideas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
