^ I doubt it as none of the other drummers this week have been interviewed, but he'll have several minutes to himself on stage |

Anton Fig. There's a name I haven't heard for many years. I think he played the drums on Ace Frehleys first solo album. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I hope that it shows up on YouTube. I probably won't be home between now and then to DVR it; I may not be home in time to watch it; and quite frankly I'll probably forget it is even on until I see this thread again tomorrow. -------------

Peart won't do an interview. he stopped doing them because everyone asked him about 'the tragedy' and he just got tired of having to recollect it over and over... -------------

I'm sure Letterman would be happy to not talk about anything Peart wasn't comfortable with, Dave may be an assh*le but he's a helluva nice guy |

It was excellent!! A short version of the Love For Sale solo he is performing on the current tour. Spinning drum riser and all......I thought Letterman did a great job of promoting Rush. -------------

| Sheila E kicked his @$$. Peart has always been mundane and ham-fisted, little imagination. |

^ I hate to say it but in this case I would agree |

Yeah but I don't know who Sheila E is. So Peart wins out. Actually, everyone's going to kill me but my favorite drummer is by far Phil Collins. Tonight Tonight Tonight, Ahhh OOoh (Slam Slam explode explode). |

It wasn't any amazing, but it was a good solo.
But by any means Sheila E didn't top it.
