Rush is touring :D!!!
- Thread starter lysyfacet
- Start date
To each his own. For me, the difference is I'd pay (and have) to go and watch a Ringo Starr concert, you couldn't pay me enough to sit through a night of Rush and that high pitched whining their vocalist calls "singing". I Can barely make it through one of their songs, never mind hours and hours of them!
Have your heard of NEIL PEART?
There's no comparison. There is a difference between favorite and the best.
Check out his drum solo from YYZ ,and on the DVD Rush in Rio O Baterista.
Tell me that Ringo could play like that even in his best years with his 5 piece kit.

Of course I've heard of him. Ringo has the best backbeat in rock and roll, period. And best, my friend, is a relative term that is combined with "favourite". One of the greatest rock legends of all time stated a number of times that for his money Ringo was the greatest drummer in rock ever. The legend, John Lennon.
You don't comprehend what you read all the time, right? I am not comparing them by their vocals. I wrote one of the main reasons I don't care for Rush as a whole is their lead vocalist. When I wrote about drummers, I wrote I preferred Ringo and considered Ringo a superior drummer.
Neil Peart would have to be easily considered to be the best drummer, based on sheer talent and ability.
As for Ringo Love the music and his playing is good. I'd like to see his all-star band if he ever does another tour.
On the John Lennon issue the thing that sucks the most is all the music that was never made, Clapton was allowed to age and grow as a musician like a fine wine. Lennon Never had the chance, but in terms of the music my music collection will always include both.
It does suck that Tea party broke up, my other big dissapointment in that area was Econoline Crush (maybe getting back together heard small rumour). I saw them open for Tea party in Hamilton before i had heard them on the radio, they completely blew the roof of the convention centre. Tea Party came out afterword not wanting to be shown up at their own shown and did the same. That show is easily for me tied as the best live show i have ever seen.

I think that thinking a certain drummer is the best because you like him, doesn't make him the best drummer alive. Niel Peart is simply amazing. His talent and skills are through the rough. You could ask any real rocker, and they'd tell you that niel peart is the best.
Ringo star, well i wouldn't even compare. Now if you mentioned the drummer for emerson lake and palmer, well then its debatable. I do remember when he performed in montreal and played in a glass dome and was strapped to his seat and played his drums while being turned and spun around upside and all. Then again, those are just stunts, which any rock band could do, altho it takes practice being able to play upside
.
Well as a rocker, and becuase i love the band, and from the ratings and news about him, Niel Peart is #1 drummer alive!!
*i recommend some of you go see the Rush in Rio dvd, and view his drum solo, just as mentioned above, after seeing that you all wouldn't even think twice about answering this question ;-)

Just a quote from John Lennon RE: Ringo Starr- when asked "Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?" Lennon responded with a laugh "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles"
Just for whatever that's worth.
RUSH are pretty damn good, tho I DO prefer their older, more METAL stuff myself. When the first bits of 2112 come on the radio, I HAVE to salute
