Crikey, "suffering." That's the reason I go to concerts, there's not enough pain at home.

Neil Peart has amazing drum solos, all the way back from '74 on. I have a lot of Rush boot shows and his solos never disappoint! I mean, how many drummers out there have had drum solos nominated for a Grammy??

Drummers who launch into solo's should have their arms surgically removed and have the sockets sealed up with lead. The most tedious and pointless waste of time known to man. I saw Led Zeppelin at Earls Court in 1975 and the crowd slow hand clapped during Moby Dick.Vile.

 

Kraftwerk had the right idea about drummers.

No you didn't, because Zeppelin had stopped playing Moby Dick by then.
Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.

I would add that, the reason this sticks in my memory so well is it was the saturday that we beat Scotland at Wembley 5-1 and the Scotland supporters at the gig draped huge Scotland flags up on one of the walls.Stage right if memory serves.

Does any of you actually like Bill Bruford's solo on the song Perpetual Change from the album Yessongs? I think it's pretty bad, I mean, nothing spectacular. What's your opinion? (Don't missunderstand me, I love Yes, Yessongs and Bill Bruford, I just think it's a bad solo) .

       Hi, Vibrationbaby. If you like   "drum-solo" try a song of band Can. Song,s name is "Mother sky".  This is the best druming I ever heard in my 30 years in rock@ roll life. If you like to hear best drumer of the world , than bay first album  Warhorse. You will be surprised. Don,t kill itself after that.

There is an awesome drum solo (8 mn +) included as a bonus track on Colosseum's 'Daughter of time'. And you can find many drum solos in jazz records such as Thelonious Monk's 'Brilliant corners'. But overall, I don't like drum solos, and think they ruin the coherence of a song when included in it.

Indeed, that'd be Jon Hiseman, a great drummer.  I've got that track (I think it's called _Time Lament_) on CD and it's great.

I like shorter drum solos mind, like those that Keef Hartley did with the Keef Hartley Band.  The one I am thinking of was about 15 or so seconds.

A local band I've seen do a drum solo and the drummer (a friend of mine from school's father) gets off his stool, plays a little on the drum kit and then starts wandering about, hitting trays, glasses (both glasses and the glasses you wear!) and tables.  It lasts about 10 minutes.  All this is done halfway through a cover of the instrumental track _Wipeout_.  Having seen him do this after 3 or 4 times now, it's got a tad tedious!  The guitarist (a friend of mine and the brother of the friend I went to school with) is an excellent guitarist, but he does a lot of tapping, slashing and plays behind his back and with his teeth...  If only they didn't do covers...

James.

Dance with the Devil by Cozy Powell was one of the first singles I bought, a great track I still occasionally play. That was sort of a drum solo set to music (lifted from Hendrix's Third Stone from the Sun if I remember). Radar Love by Golden Earring has a great drum break in the middle by the immortally named Cesar Zuiderwijk (1973 was obviously a good year for drums).

The Colosseum track was called Time Machine. Hiseman was a superb drummer and it's a brilliant solo for at least the first 4/5 minutes, although as with most lengthy drum solos interest starts to wane eventually.

So no one likes drum solos, but It's okay for a guitarist to go on for however long they want?  Seems perfectly reasonable to me. 

 

As a drummer, It is always nice to hear a drum solo once in ahwile.  The drummer is arguably the most important member of the band.  They keep time, Provide rythm, and can give most any song a good upping in likeability.

It's a shame nobody respects us.

I do agree with you, but everyone respects you! You can steal the show with just one well done solo, well, and the girls too.
