Ultimate Classic Rock's Battle of the Drumming Titans: Neil Peart vs Tico Torres

[Syrinx]

I personally would take Bill Ward over Phil Collins any time.

Tommy Lee isn't in this? I thought he was supposed to be some bad@ss player?....

 

He is. He got beaten by Charlie watts.

 

Some of these matchups are stylistically so different. It's hilarious. Bill bruford and Lars? Haha.. Bun e Carlos and Steven Adler? Wtf..

Where's Don Henley if Phil is in this?... :)

 

Phil was a bad ass drummer in his day.

[geezer]

Where's Simon Phillips ????? Well, maybe he's got a wild card straught to the semifinals

[Digital Dad]

Where's Don Henley if Phil is in this?... :)

 

Hopefully rotting in Hell where the Eagles should have stayed.

I super surprised by that too.

 

You know, since you've been on TRF I've noticed a distinct change in your acumen...is this because you're a closet Yukon Blade Grinder reader, or, because you DON't read the YBG. Curious about your evolutionary path. Do tell!

Does acumen have something to do with being a grumpy old @sshole? If so that hasn't changed any :) . Maybe my dive into the waters of Rush's synth world without water wings has changed me just a bit. Who knows... :)

I like 70s sabbath about as much as 70s genesis but for different reasons of course. ward and collins were both masters of their domain back in the day. collins is better technically but if I'm in the mood for heavy/powerful drumming I'd take sabbath

[troutman]

WTF

 

Whoever votes for the drummer from f***ing Bon Jovi is a future winner of the Darwin Awards.

 

 

:laughing guy:

[Syrinx]

As long as Phil Collins advocates don't cite In the Air tonight as his masterful drumming performance, I am ok. It often is but the drumming in that song is SO overRated and boring.

This website needs a "post of the day" function! this is a winner!! hahahaha!!!

 

 

I saw Bon Jovi in a club right before "She's a little runaway" became some sort of hit (I think it was $5.00 to get in) and we left in between their first and second set...they were out in the parking lot having a smoke, and we walked by and said "hey great set dudes"! They were just BAD!

[goose]

no problem with the other results, except I actually do like mikkie dee more than roger taylor, and I suspect if people actually knew who mikkie dee was he'd have a much higher score than 9.

Yes, that might help.

 

Although I am a big fan of Roger Taylor.

[Lorraine]

Even I knew Phil Collins is a drummer. :codger:

[Narps]

I was just kidding about Don Henley in an earlier post lest anyone think I was serious... :codger:

[RushCanuck]

:laughing guy: :laughing yellow guy: :LMAO: :rfl: :nya nya: :clap: :bacon: :bacon:

I love this post

[JohnRogers]

Tico Torres why does the name sound familiar? Isn’t he the Assistant Night Manager’s drummer?

[WorkingAllTheTime]

But Mike Tyson sure does land a mean punch air drumming to the song.

Peart versus Torres? Are these players seeded. Is this a 1 versus 16?

[laughedatbytime]

Peart versus Torres? Are these players seeded. Is this a 1 versus 16?

Not officially.

[Xanadu]

Not officially.

 

The term "March Madness" is an understatement here.

[MMCXII]

For some reason I thought this was a RUSHTHREAD666 lol

as you should! I'm talking about people my age who only know him from a south park episode, mike tyson's scene in the hangover, and that tarzan song from the 90s
