Ok, random opinions
This is going to get me beat up but anyway, before I was familiar with Rush, when I heard "Closer To The Heart" on the radio, it didn't even occur to me that it wasn't sung by a woman. (I like both the band and the song by the way)
Also, I would like to thank all the people on here who are vocal about their hate for Fall Out Boy, because I pretty sure that's why I got the new song for $0.99![]()

For curiosities sake, has lars always been crap live? For instance, I've never thought he was a bad drummer (like the prevailing opinion is, I guess) I just thought he was just a very workmanship style drummer, just keeping a beat without really standing out too much. But watching their live videos, he always seems to be behind, just a little off, or his fills tend to drag on for too long. Something is off about the guy when he drums these days, and I just don't know if I'm just not seeing the full crappiness that everyone else seems to want to hang him for, if it's overblown and he's just 'off' live.
Too late to see that we are prison born, programmed to hate and fear.

His drum tracks always take the longest to record because he just can't keep time.
And he falls off a lot when playing live, usually he covers it up with a huge fill until he knows where he is.

Lars is a unique drummer in that he hasn't had any formal training. His training came from 10 hour drum sessions in his garage.
This had it's upsides and downsides. The good is that it build him a lot of endurance. The problem is, he never learned much technique. You'll see that on a lot of Metallica songs... very fast songs, without much variation in technique.
In my opinion, Lars did very well on early live shows. The problem is, with age, his endurance started to fade. Drummers like Neil Peart are still good because of their technique. Lars had only endurance, and without it, he lost all that made his drumming style.
Blow yer' harmonica son
Johnette Napalitano sings Dancing Barefoot better than Patty Smith.
Does anyone chart anymore? le sigh.
The Who are miles and miles and miles better than The Beatles.
