Todem Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) ESL and R30 are my all time favorite solos. ESL is just perfect, energetic and pure analog brilliance. R30 was a culmination of all the rolls, patterns, sounds etc he had incorporated since 1981. I heard a piece of everything in that solo but it was fluid, well thought out and flowed beautifully.

HemiBeers Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm sure all this drama, real and imagined, over the drum solo will really motivate him to continue touring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shail Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 His solos and drumming in general have been in constant decline since 1991. Same solos. Great time to get a drink and pee. Boring. He's still great tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignatureAurora Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just thought i'd through this in here... Alex has stated, and it has been reported, that Alex is suffering from arthritis, very painful at times, throughout his whole body. After saying that, he went on to say how sad it is that Neil has been playing for many years with tendonitis...perhaps THAT is a somewhat "hidden secret' that's contributing to their potential decision to cut back touring.. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/alex-lifeson-arthritis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Seems ol' Gump was a bit over sensitive there....Peart mentions several folks that didn't comment on his solo, not just Gump. These artist types are always the tender sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These artist types are always the tender sort. I understand why Neil would be upset about it. If he'd spent a lot of time on it and no one noticed? That would really suck.

himey Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 the only positive from the drum solo is that it gives geds voice a rest and us time for a beer. otherwise pretty lame. I would rather have another song in its place or at least an instrumental. now the 70's and 80's yes it was good and worked well but after that not that great.

TexMike Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If Neil's tendonitis causes him pain when he plays, I'm still surprised they didn't just ditch the drum solo. Most fans wouldn't have minded another short song in its place and seems like would've been less stress on his arms. Do Geddy and Alex insist on having that little break? Did Neil feel obligated to still do one? Or does he actually enjoy that feeling of being a rock star despite his best efforts to convince us otherwise? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I wish I had the knowledge of drums and percussion to fully appreciate what Neil was expressing in the solo. It sounds cool, but I don't "feel" it the way he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet X-1 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Neil should look on the bright side: he won`t have worry about being dissed or having to comment on his drum solos ever again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I wish I had the knowledge of drums and percussion to fully appreciate what Neil was expressing in the solo. It sounds cool, but I don't "feel" it the way he does. Well, that doesn't have anything to do with being a drummer really. Anyone can have an emotional reaction to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I don't really know why I find a lot of Peart's solos kind of cool, and a lot of other guys' solos kind of boring. I do sense there's something more imaginative and not just chopsy about his solos. Having said that, he could use an editor - his solos were getting so long that I was zoning out. Maybe 15 seconds of the waltz time thing instead of 4 minutes or whatever it was . . . . and Binary Love Theme? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Sorry Neil. Edit: Thompson and Collins are obvious contenders.
