Saw Rush on the Moving Pictures tour, played a lot of hemispheres. was great! Had zep tickets for the last tour but Bonham drank himself to death b4 our show. Sabbath with Dio would have been awesome also. MIKE75 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rolling Stone magazine is also the biggest reason it took 39 years to get Rush into the RRHOF. They punish bands for not giving interviews.

Rush in 1978 on the Hemispheres tour I'd literally kill to see any of their shows from the 70's. The first one I saw was in 1983 during the Signals tour.

Denali Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Peart was very good, although sometimes a bit "busy" for my tastes. The greatest drummer in the world? Ringo by a country mile. TNTitans, and Oiler FANatic 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharrdWood Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 These "best of drummers" list, what, were they flash frozen in the late '70s/early '80s?! Bonham and Baker are the only ones being discussed that are worth a shit. HELLO?! Dave Lombardo?! HELLO?! Commando Pete Sandoval?! HELLO?! Tomas Haake?! HELLO?! George Kollias?! And where the fuck is Terry Bozzio in the reckoning?! Chad Wackerman?! If you could play for Frank Zappa you're 10000x better than that hack from Rush. RUSH SUCKS. Rush aren't even good if you're restricting shit to Canada. Fucking Triumph are better than Rush. Rush were about as interesting as George Thorogood or Men at Work.

Then your experiences are limited. Almost all musicians, sound engineers, and music producers consider Ringo to be an outstanding drummer/percussionist, with many of them also stating that they think he's the best. As an example, he was the first ever Rock and Roll drummer inducted into the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame, which had previosuly been entirely composed of philharmonic and jazz drummers. https://www.pas.org/about/hall-of-fame/ringo-starr Edited February 24, 2020 by Denali Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he got mentioned because of their popularity. Notice he didn't make it out of the first round. Name an intricate song he played on. Why isn't Gene Krupa on the list? It's all subjective. When it comes to creating great music, it's not about intricacy. It's all about the sound and feel. Who cares if someone can bang the hell out of a drum kit if it sounds like crap? Ringo has plenty of chops that he uses when it makes sense. But he treats the drums like an instrument, and his drum parts have melody. He's on another level. Just listen: Edited February 24, 2020 by Denali Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fucking joke. You're otherwise semi-reasonable. TBH, I don't even understand why this is still an active thread. I COMPLETELY DESTROYED you muppets. Even Godzilla sent me a PM to ack. HO-LEE FEKKING SHITE, not ONE of the Beat-less was actually good at their instrument. THEY"RE THE FIRST BOY BAND. IF they learned to play a little it was a convenient coincidence. Beatles and Stones SUCK. Nothing will change that. Denali, TNTitans, and Oiler FANatic 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
