SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted October 7, 2021 Report Posted October 7, 2021 Any Ween fans out there? This guy has all three nights in vegas up on his youtube page. They played more than 100 different songs over the 3 days. Quote
TheAud Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 As of 10/27/21, both Tommy and Dick Smothers are both still alive. I find that amazing for some reason. Tom is 84, Dick is 82. I would have thought they were both north of 90 or pushing up daisies. Learn something new every day. 3 Quote

They must have been really young when they were coming up. The Smothers Brothers always make me think of my dad. I play upright bass and my brother plays guitar. We both sing. We performed a song at my sister's wedding and my dad got such a kick out of calling us the ***** Smothers Brothers. Looks like I'm going down a YouTube vortex. Those are some funny talented dudes. 3 Quote

SwampD Posted November 6, 2021 Report Posted November 6, 2021 I will forever be grateful to #Claude_Verret for hipping me to Porcupine Tree and subsequently, Steven Wilson, in this thread. It was probably a decade ago. They just released a single and their new album comes out soon. https://porcupinetree.com Can't wait. Quote

I enjoy a ***** load of their songs. I'm deliberately being an ass hat. However...context. I was at a beer festival today featuring a Fleetwood Mac cover band, a Stones cover band and an AC/DC cover band. All things being equal, AC/DC are the headliners, here. It's not even close. Quote

I will never stop finding it funny that Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode complaining they were too lightweight, went on to do this and Erasure ,while DM went dark almost as soon as he left. 2 Quote

Dude, there is no way that Carl is Neil's father. More seriously, they started out pretty much in the same era, so I don't know, but Carl is universally recognized as a top 10 drummer in the modern history of drummers. Neil, IMO, is not far behind, or maybe is / should be top 10 too. I have not seen the listing. Anyway, it is posssible that they infulenced each other. What is truely sad is that only the 'P' of ELP is still with us. 1 Quote

What is truely sad is that only the 'P' of ELP is still with us. I think Carl Palmer came to prominence just prior to Neil Peart, and ELP's best stuff was already released when Peart joined Rush. Neil's style didn't emerge fully formed, I think, until 2112 in 1976. If Wikipedia is to be believed, "He drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene. As time passed, he began to emulate jazz and big band musicians Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich." But Keith, Ginger and John didn't play with the same precision runs as Carl Palmer. It seems to me that Neil likely heard these runs and expanded them into the incredible drum runs that became typical in Rush songs. 1 Quote

Dreams Burn Down Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Two years ago today, on January 7, 2020, Neil Peart passed away from glioblastoma at the age of 67. He was the drummer and lyricist of the most important and influential musical entity of my lifetime, Rush. Rest in peace, professor. 1 1 Quote
