Reverend Jax Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Neil Peart isn't underrated among drummers, but he is in the general public, my pick for most underrated is Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience (listen carefully the drumming in 'Fire' and try to disagree with me). Quote
soldier of fortune Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Hey, no-one mentioned Jimmy Chamberlain formerly of the pumpkins, thats some serious drumming in The Everlasting Gaze, and Porcelina of the Vast Ocean! Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 That's all fine and good, but do you think he's underrated? Quote
JunkerSeed Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Yeah Chamberlain is my fav drummer along with danny carey from tool, but neither are underrated, they are both considered some of the best drummers alive by just about every one. Sure they don't get talked about as much as the lead singers, but they're not underrated. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Did you know both have cited Neil Peart and Rush as major influences? Quote
JunkerSeed Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Yeah actually. The pumpkins worship rush, have a bunch of mp3s of them covering rush songs and saying they wouldn't be a band if it weren't for rush. One of the main reasons I started listening to Rush is because lots of my favorite bands talk em up. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Rush is music for musicans. I haven't heard the pumpkins cover rush, which songs have they done? Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 i looked around and all i found was an aucostic version of limelight (rush 2nd most popular song by most measures) and nothing else. They said some very nice things about rush though. My opinion of a band or artist always goes up when i here them say good things about rush. Quote
JunkerSeed Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 I know they did two more, heard em on a bootleg cd my friend has. Think it was tom sawyer and freedom of music, but one of em they just kind of covered half way. If I could find the mp3s on my computer Id be sure, cant seem to find em online either, I gotta borrow that bootleg again. Quote
King of Snake Posted April 21, 2002 Author Posted April 21, 2002 Sheesh, the underrated tag is bogging these down, don't make me go around and edit the topics! :dissappointed: Dave Grohl is a poll choice and you can hardly call him underrated? FYI, at least over this side of the atlantic where the Pumpkins didn't have as much mainstream success, I've never heard Chamberlain mentioned when musicians are talked up. PS: I didn't realise my 'but seriously' post hadn't gone thru for some reason. Animal aside, Taylor Hawkins (Foos) is a pretty cool drummer too (probably helped by having two drummers in the band when they're writing songs). I had another couple at the time that I can't think of now... Quote
soldier of fortune Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Again thank you KoS let me get you a pint!! That guy just pisses me off! Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 "freeedom of music" is actually called "the spirit of radio". Those are three pretty stardard rush songs. if those were led zeppelin song, they would be stairway to heaven, rock n' roll, and whote lotta love. Quote
