Probably right. I ain't bashing him. He was awesome. But died too soon. You can go wake Neil Peart up right now and he would kick arse. Buddy Rich was an old bastard and still kicked arse. What could Keith have been???

Solos are about "look at me". Moon's style was all "look at me." Which is the point I am trying to make. If he had the chance to get older he may have changed his mind. People want to see a badass be a badass. Give em' what they want man.
