I can do without Matt's drum solo.

I'm sure that this has been brought up before but I'm sorry. That upsets me. Give me Mike McCready's solo and that is it. I love Matt Cameron but it has to go.

    My opinion, if Mike can have a bit of fun why not let Matt have some too? I play the drums myself so I suppose I could be bias. But I will say one thing, if Mike is going to continue soloing then for god sakes mix it up some....enough of the note holding ....move those fingers!!!

    I have to respectfully disagree. Although many here know Matt is not my favorite drummer ever, I love the way the drum solo allows them to get away from the song and then bring the other instruments back into it for the "grand finale" so to speak.

    No way! Matt's drum solo is the best thing about Even Flow these days.

    Damn straight! Mike's solos on the 06 tour for eveflow were... uninspired. No feeling to them. No some of his Alive and Black solos on the other hand were stellar. Still love him :)

    Oh and Matt's solos are cool. I love the transitionback into the song. That's killer!

    The song isn't that great, I have no idea why IT is a stape at every show and something like 'Alive' isn't.. it's not logical.

    Also, I play the drums. Drum solos suck.

    I don't really care one way or another. I've heard e-flow so many times, anything they can do to change it up is alright with me.

    I enjoyed it a lot.
    Even Flow is my pee break song and the drum solo made it even longer.
    Most of the time I can run to the bathroom and then get (2) more beers before the song even ends.
    Perfect.

    I can do without it too. The drum solo makes the song antique.

    the Even Flow live performance is becoming cliche'. Time to shelf it for at least one tour. Bring back DEEP and speed it up!
