RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Can you imagine Keith Moon hanging out with Neil today if he was still around? Peart would shit his pants and desperately try to get away from him like Tommy trying to get away from Uncle Ernie! HAHAHA! I thought you were going to use a Muppet Metaphor with Neil Bert And Ernie!

Didn't Taylor Hawkins forcibly hug Neil after the Foos dressed up as 70s Rush to play Overture at Rush's RRHoF induction? I can't imagine that was very comfortable for him either, lol.

Xanadoood Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I think the fact that Townsend and Daltrey have never really been able to replace hims speaks volumes. Talking with drummers, they have told me had a real unorthadox approach to his playing...off the cuff, wild..tough to duplicate. I personally prefer guys like Peart, Bruford etc..but still love and completley understand Moons influence. He was truly unique. His crazy personality just came out in his playing so strongly.

Lorraine Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Another reason why I asked this question is because when I was listening to Quadrophenia, I noticed that he seemed to be a "single minded" drummer. By that I mean it sounded to me like Neil was/is able to do more things on the drums at once than Keith did. If this isn't correct, what am I not hearing? What I do love about Keith's drumming is the fierceness and the loudness. Neil is too controlled and disciplined for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do love about Keith's drumming is the fierceness and the loudness. Neil is too controlled and disciplined for me. I think that control and discipline in Neil is a matter of just absolute precision. I don't think Neil would ever want to play as wildly and as all-over-the-place as Keith Moon. It's interesting to me that Moonie was such an influence on Neil, because their playing styles are so different. Neil's approach has always seemed to be very measured and, of course, technically precise- whereas Moon was just all over the place. It may be the reason that it seems Neil can do more things all at once is because that's what he wants us to be able to hear- every beat, every trill of the hi-hat, every individual beat in a roll. Moon was also taking on a ride through his mind- the signals from his brain, his intent, that translated into every flick of his wrist, and pounding with his arms. They both just come out sounding much different. And no, I can't possibly be any less pedantic or verbose than that. That was as succinctly as I could answer the question. :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Then what i hear is right. He can't do what Neil does. He probably couldn't have if he wanted to because he had no discipline. It sounds to me like Neil can do a few different beats at the same time whereas Keith just pounded away with some hi-hats.

ReRushed Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I listened to Who Are You last night and I think Keith Moon's drumming is a notch or two down from earlier Who albums. It's a shame. Addiction is a bitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Keith Moon would've reached his potential without his Who band mates. And time proved Keith was losing his discipline and being in the Who didn't help anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
