I’m in shock-N.Peart likes T.M.V !!

I cant believe it,my hero Neil Peart of Rush and "Worlds Greatest Drummer Ever-Bar NONE" actually likes the turgid racket that is The Mars Volta!!!

Writes Neil,on his site (which has just improved 100 fold)

 Francis the Mute — The Mars Volta

Matt introduced me to this band’s first album, Deloused in the Comatorium, which I loved. A couple of their songs appeared on the “ShowTunes” collections that I programmed as “walk-in music” at our shows on the R30 Tour. I’m just starting to listen to this one, so I won’t say too much about it — but I can already tell it’s another brave, adventurous, uncompromising, highly musical piece of work.

What’s not to like?

Mainly, it’s wonderful just to know that records like this still get made, and listened to.

what's wrong with that?

He has good taste.

You are soooo right.  Jon Theodore is an incredible drummer.  I'm sure Peart really appreciates his skills, especially when the drumming takes centre stage at their live shows.

What does that have to do with it? Why should a violinist only like bands that use violins? BTW: I like violins ... particularly in prog metal bands, like Pain of Salvation and Winds.

I like T.M.V. and I'm cool with his priase of them.

But Linkin Park?

Please Neil, say it is not so.
