    ok,,maybe if u dont like the solos ,MIKE will not play solo in Alive..and stone on keep on rockin..
    or yellow ledbetter,will be awesome with out solo..Matt is a member of the band and he plays one of the most important instrument..as all are,,so playing his solo is like an honor for his work,a presentation,,drummers are not so shinning person like vocals or guitar players...
    and Jeff u have to play a solo u too..especially in London,, :shock:

    His "solo" lasts all of like....... 30 seconds !! i dont even consider it a solo, its more like an extended drum fill. no big deal.
    Peace, Love.

    and where were you being nice in your original post?

    let the band choose how to entertain us... and we can take care of the being entertained part



    how would you like it if you went to work at your job today and someone said

    "hey we'd prefer if you didn't whistle while you mopped the bathroom"

    wouldn't make you feel so good would it??

    Sorry but this made me think of my favorite drummer joke:

    A man goes to a pacific island for vacation. As the boat nears, he notices the constant sound of drumming.

    As he gets off the boat, he asks a native how long the drumming will go on. The native casts about nervously and says "very bad when drumming stops."

    Later that day, the drumming is still going and it is really starting to get to him. So, he asks another native when the drumming will stop. The native looks as if he's just been spooked.

    "Very bad when drumming stops," he says, and hurries off.

    After a couple of days with little sleep, the man had had enough. He grabbed the first native he saw, slammed him up against a tree, and shouted, "What happens when the drumming stops?!"

    The native replied, "Bass solo."

    solos are dull?

    It's a nice change up and its always great to see Matt let loose.

    Just drums. Mike plays "accompanied solos" if that's not a contradiction in terms (except Yellow LB). On Even Flow, eg, Matt and Jeff provide solid backing and Stone chipping in riffs etc.

    And apart from the dullness of drum solos they just a bit toooooooo Spinal Tap for me.

    I hope EF features not 1, not 2, but 3 solos, just to spite you.

    Eh, I'd hope for 3 separate drum solos in EF anyway :)
