RLLD 3,455 Posted January 12, 2020 For me, aside from perhaps Bonham , this man was the top, the pinnacle, when I listened to rush songs, I was listening as much to his playing as anything else, like I would focus on it.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I can get with that, listening to him was like...ok, we know he is going to fill the entire song with something, what’s it going to be, and how is he going to make it seems like it always belonged there he seemed to not tolerate idle time , wanted every moment of a song to be “full”, and it was almost Luke a game for him, he was like a kid just having fun 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a segment where they covered how even after showing the world his greatness he STILL wanted to improve and took drum lessons from Freddy Gruber(?).

taco breath 419 Posted January 13, 2020 Quote Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, to a single mother, Bieber took second place in a local talent competition at a young age. After his mother posted YouTube clips of her boy performing, Bieber went from an unknown, untrained singer to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal with Usher within two years. Bieber went on to become the first solo artist to have four singles enter the Top 40 before the release of a debut album. His 2009 album My World has gone platinum in several countries. He later experienced significant media exposure from offensive activity. Nonetheless, the singer made his comeback in 2015 with his first number one song, "What Do You Mean?" His 2017 collaboration with Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” broke the all-time record for most consecutive weeks at the number one spot on the Top 100. https://www.biography.com/musician/justin-bieber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted January 16, 2020 Growing up everyone said... “Neal Pert is the greatest drummer ever!” Whatever... just sounded like drums to me. Who hears talent in drums? But even if he really was so great... who cares? Drummers are replaceable and nobody even notices. “I went to a Rush concert, but Neal Pert wasn’t there so it sucked.” says absolutely nobody. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if what you say is true, Neil was also the lyricist for the band. RUSH could have found another drummer and maybe he'd be as good as Neil was on drums. I find that highly unlikely considering how other drummers talk about Neil but whatever. Their songs would never have been the same without Neil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
