Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 If it's like what I saw last year, it's not that long...not even long enough for a piss break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Are you objecting on the general grounds that drum solos are a major, time wasting wankfest or do you object to Joey Kramer? A little from column A, a little from column B.More from column B, but it's also really odd to see a drum solo in a setlist that has no guitar solo. If it's like what I saw last year, it's not that long...not even long enough for a piss break. I wonder how long this has been going on. Granted it was 22 years ago, but last time I saw them I do not think there was a drum solo. Must be in his contract now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 drum solos are funny...last ones i saw were from Blue Oyster Cult (scab drummer), Deep Purple (Ian Paice) and Heaven and Hell (one of the Appices...can't remember if it was Carmen or Vinny and i'm too lazy to google). Rudy Sarzo also rocked the bass solo which was hilarious....a medley of riffs of famous songs he's played on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That reminds me - I bike home everyday past a house with a hanging plant on its porch that looks like Carlos Cavazo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every song has a guitar solo. I don't like drum solos, and I'm a drummer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Once, in college days, I saw a guy walking home from marching band practice still wearing his tuba. So I yelled from my apartment window, "TUBA SOLO!", and he indulged me with the opening riff from Heartbreaker. Made my day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Every song has a guitar solo. Well, but I'm talking about a dedicated guitar solo, a la Jimmy Page or Eddie Van Halen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Every song has a guitar solo. what about songs w/ no guitar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Kramer's drum solo when I saw them was basically just a little break for the rest of the band. It wasn't long enough for me to even think about including it on the set list. At least, it didn't disrupt the show for me.Joe Perry's lengthy guitar solo with that stupid video game was more of a momentum-killer. However, I could see the value of giving Kramer a break...

Analogman Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Makes sense. Ratt use to cover Aerosmith songs. Sometimes - You Should By Now runs through my head in an endless loop. Fun fact: Stephen Pearcy now looks like a Rat(t). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I was talking about seeing 'drum solo' on any setlist, but yeah, Aerosmith setlists are pretty guitar-solo heavy in the first place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 In the late '80s/early '90s Joey Kramer used to wear a suit with a bunch of drum pads on it and during his solo he'd run around the stage beating himself with his drumsticks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Holy God I forgot about that. Sort of makes me wish I hadn't sold my Modern Drummer magazine collection. That was a pretty thorough resourse of the corniest music trends/phenomena circa 1986-2000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Inside of Outside Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 drum solos are funny...last ones i saw were from Blue Oyster Cult (scab drummer), Deep Purple (Ian Paice) and Heaven and Hell (one of the Appices...can't remember if it was Carmen or Vinny and i'm too lazy to google). Rudy Sarzo also rocked the bass solo which was hilarious....a medley of riffs of famous songs he's played on.The drum solo was such a hallmark of 70s and 80s hard rock and heavy metal. And you knew you were at a show on another plane entirely when you got the bass solo as well. Rudy Sarzo indeed. Love thinking back on those kind of shows, in a campy, nostalgic, hazy way. I sincerely missthose heavy metal bandsI used to go seeon the landing in the summer....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
