John Petrucci (left) is, IMO, up there with the best guitarists ever, John Myung (right), and amazing bassist and Jordan Rudess (with the white beard) has been voted best keyboard player ever in several polls...One of the best drummers in the world, Mike Portnoy, had left the band but the other guy is a great replacement... Dream Theatre is still making records, and with virtually none of it played on radio. They have a lot of fans who h.g.h ahe followed them from day one, like Rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammer Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 How about Carl Palmer for best drummer? This is from 1970. The amazing thing is he got better going forward. Keith Emerson playing an upside down keyboard and stabbing it near the end? Is this rock and roll, or only children playing with noise (a Stevie Winwood lyric)? I vote yes. I just found this nugget a little while ago and wanted to share it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash, your twisting words around to make them sound like you want them too. Are you practicing to be a Demoncrat? I've heard a ton of smaller garage bands that did more damage to my ears than rap could do today. The 'bands' of our day were excellent and I still enjoy them today. I just can't quote names of the players in many or any of them. I listened to it, but I didn't live it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill dude, express your opinion appropriately and if you can't move on. Don't politicize this tread though please. There are other threads to talk about politics. Do it there but not here though. Agree? This thread is about music, not politics. You're a musician. Please respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 STFU troll. If you don't like what I have to say, go to another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammer Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 A typical response from you. It was a civil request. Respect the music my friend and spew your hatred in another thread if you must, but not here. Is that too much to ask? I'll spar with you elsewhere if need be.

Hello AshleyXYZ, I will decline to comment any further as music and the musicians that make it, is subjective to the listener. I will have to agree with the Chili about Portnoy, one of the best double bass drummers I've ever seen.......call me old or old fashioned but I'm starting to mello with the new medication I'm on and just don't feel up to a big debate :). This is always the first thread I look at when I login to CC and tonight is no different. I just don't want to go there with music! The worthless tenants of RLC is an entirely different story!! Have a good night AshleyXYZ!! I value you being here on this forum and I wish you would get other women to join......you all's input is always worth reading in my opinion!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
