Trent loves 'em, why can't you??
Honestly, I just can't stand Geddy Lee's voice at all. I absolutely hate how it sounds and it just ruins the rest of the music for me.
As a drummer, I appreciate Neil Peart's ability immensely. But I've developed a bit of a hatred of him because I hate when people say that he's a better drummer than John Bonham. He's one of the greats, but when it comes to rock drumming there's Bonham and there's everybody else.
It's just a personal preference, that's all. I've always liked drummers who have really good feel for the groove and know when to lay back a little bit, which Peart doesn't really do. He's really flashy and he's technically brilliant, but it's all about the SOUND when it comes to drumming and to me, he just doesn't sound the way Bonham does. No one does, really. If they had a different lead singer and I didn't have to constantly listen to people who have never sat behind a drumset tell me that Peart is better than Bonham than I might be into them.
But it's too late for me now. [/quote]
I hear what you're saying about technical ability and sounding good. I'm the same way with guitar greats like Joe Satriani. They are absolutely amazing at playing their particular instrument, but their songs sound unimpressive/boring/over the top. [/quote]
Oh my fucking God I hate Joe Satriani. He sounds like fucking shit every time I hear anything by him. Don't these people understand that music comes from the soul? It's not about what you can do with your instrument but how you can make it sound, even if that means playing something really simple. It takes a true master to sound great. Anyone with enough practice time can pretty technically-proficient at their instrument, but there's something innate about being able to produce that unique sound. Jimi Hendrix had "it", Bonham had "it", Clyde Stubblefield had "it".

It's too late for me to be a fan.
Toss out the singer and the drummer and you're a fan? That's 2/3rds of the band...
I'm afraid that it is too late for you my friend...yes...it is much too late.

I know someone already posted the whole song, but solo is amazing and reinforces your point about "soul"
