apetersvt Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I guess I don't understand why there's so much Neil hate? Has the guy not worked hard enough? Is it selfish for him to want to retire in his old age? Maybe I'm missing something he said? People think Neil owes them something, and when he doesn't do what they want they get mad.Well, he owes me another two studio albums, at least one more tour, and a personal ride on his motorcycle. :sarcastic: Don't forget the private drum lessons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 No no no...Rocco Mediate, professional golfer...he met Alex on the golf course, is going to replace Neil and play the drums with Alex at a local fundraiser to see how it goes and what the chemistry is like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The new band will be called "Flush"...because when you hit a golf ball solidly you are said to have hit he ball "flush". Just different enough to set the new music apart from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it selfish for him to want to retire in his old age? Maybe I'm missing something he said?:goodone: He only was part of a team that made 18 studio albums together, and a tour to support each one (and a couple extra tours to boot) over a 40+ year period. I know if I had millions of dollars and tendinitis in my shoulders, I probably would stop touring too.And ending a career at the top of one's game is a rare opportunity. It's the right move, I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 If true that is a good sign. We need somebody on the inside of this "fundraiser". Someone check JohnnyBlaze's calendar.Mainly it's nothing but hookers and beer on that bum's schedule! I do see a slight opening late next month but it'd have to be crammed between the soul implant and fraroc vivisection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it selfish for him to want to retire in his old age? Maybe I'm missing something he said? I probably shouldn't speak for everyone, but I think much of the stuff written here about Neil is said with tongue firmly in cheek - sort of sarcastic fun .. In my book, Neil is not only one of the greatest drummers in one of my all time favorite bands, but he was a completely unique figure in rock music back in the 70s, venturing out on that limb and writing from a point of view no one else was writing from in music - this was esp intriguing considering the time - the post hippy, communal mindset that was so palatable back then .. Some people like to poke fun = myself included - esp at his eye rolling blog entries ( which I hope he NEVER stops - they are highly entertaining, intentional or not ) I love the guy, I take issue to some of the things he has written, and he owes nothing to anyone . .

presto123 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Fundraiser? Are we talking about like at a golf course or something? I just got a funny image in my head about Neil's massive rotating drum kit being set up under a tent next to the tees or something. haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
