Peart vs. Portnoy

I think we can declare ol' Neil the winner of this one. The professor is running away and leaving Portnoy in the dust.

E

for the first and only time in my PA's career ..a vote for Peart.... though I think I voted for him in some 'completely overrated prog lyricist' poll once..



Happy Birthday Neil...  consider the vote a birthday gift ahahhah

Becuase alot of people choose to keep quiet.  I could make a long winded argumentative post, but I know that perat is more technical and overall a "better" drummer.  I dont care what other people say.

He has never done any session work or been invited to guest  by any other artist that I know of. Look at all the great drummers CV's for a comparisons to Pearts, which is blank! CV in case of N. Peart is simply Rush. That's great CV.OK, N. Peart has been playing only in Rush, Portnoy has been playing in hundreds bands, music projects.Maybe Peart doesn't want to play outside of Rush? It would be unwise to think other bands, other musicians don't want to cooperate with Peart Not true. Peart masterminded (ie produced,played on and organised) the two "Burning For Buddy" Cds which featured a host of top drummers. He plays on two tracks on Jeff Berlin & Vox Humana's Champion album from 1985.      Neil appears on the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship Concert, Vol. Three & Four, 1991 He also appears on The Rheostatics' Whale Music, from 1992 and in 2006 Neil is to perform on Vertical Horizon's Next Album He claims to get most of his musical fulfillment from Rush and dont forget that between 1997 and 2002 he was just getting his life back together. He fills most of his spare non-Rush time travelling and writing books and has his latest one out next week.                I don't know anything about his 'outside of Rush' life. I admit. Thx for these infosbtw --> I'm right. Peart is better than Portnoy

With all due respect,if you weren't in possesion of the facts then why make that post?

Happy Birthday Neil...  consider the vote a birthday gift ahahhah *pinches herself hard* I can't believe it, I really can't.... You sure you're feeling well, aren't you? BTW,  I didn't remember it was Neil's birthday today.. though Geddy's is on the same day I joined PA, so there must be some meaning in it! Overrated lyricist? Think again... He didn't stop at "2112", that's for sure!

don't hurt yourself hahahaha.... and as far as feeling well.....  hahahhaha....  I'm feeling great boss....


hahahhahahaha .....    I may have given up on DT but can always count on getting a rise out of Tony's elite fighting force ...  though  I didn't say he was a bad lyricist.... just not a great one... even if he's won awards in Canada for his books  (wasn't his competition one year a book of poetry by  Bob and Doug McKenzie )
