Rubber Soul is a great album , dude... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I'd much rather talk about music rather than politics but I fear even those discussions would lead to immense divides 😔 We are polarized beyond repair thanks to our MSM.. Pravda and Tass would be so proud.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the 3 Chipmunks singing Beatles songs ! LOL Of course, back then, my best friend and fishing buddy and I played our guitars and did a fair job of "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel. We also had funny times we changed the words to another favorite - "Eve of Destruction". One time we were playing for friends, and we added a great line about fishing and catching carp...etc. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 "Eve of Destruction" was a great song. Here Barry McGwire sings in again, with a few changes in lyrics - 1965 back then, then he and a few friends play it live, in 2012. and yeah, it's truer today. I could do the harmonica part, too. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Cal that song came out the year I was born.. And sadly... That song still holds up and mirrors what is actually going on today... It almost breaks my heart just to listen to it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 Another nice analyst of Music. Concentrating on the Drummer / Bassist here. Yep, one of the best Drummers out there (Neil Peart / Phil Collins) - two of the best in their hay days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are in their 60's and have been industry session drummers for decades. They both have unworldly abilities... They are on a level light years ahead of everyone else.. I would put Dave Weckl in that camp too.. His tonality on Drums is phenomenal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FY56 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Despite his extreme arrogance and how vile this guy really was, Buddy Rich was the GOAT. Then you can talk about everyone else. Here is a voice recording of Rich chewing out his band on a bus after a gig.. Not knowing he was being recorded. Calling them motherfuckers and assholes...what a dick he was. https://youtu.be/t8-uoTD4fMQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil is on a entirely different planet than Rich was on... Rich was stuck in one Genre(Jazz)... Donati does it all... Jazz, Fusion,Metal,Prog Rock you name it... Donati does things with odd time signatures that Rich couldn't master. Not saying he couldn't..He only cared about Jazz and was stuck in his own bubble. when it comes to Calaiuta and Donati.. You can't keep up with them in terms of were the 1 begins.. Or it ends.. I've played Drums and Percussion my entire life besides Guitar (My main) , Bass and Piano/Keyboards.. And some Mandolin on occasion.. I was born with a metronome in my body... Had Rich dropped the attitude and explored more then yeah.. But Rich , no doubt was the greatest in his era.. Donati and Calaiuta were influenced by him.. No doubt about it.. If you want to go on pure technique.. Mike Mangini probably blows them all away... But when it comes to all around feel, tonality and technique... Donati is the KING! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Peart, as a Dr. of percussion always wowed me, so high regards. Phil Collins had his own bits, and in Concert was pretty incredible - again, just personal exposure. No knocks, just my exposure. I'm more of a "Techie" type guy, though as stated, I really appreciate good Music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
