By utter coincidence, (as I was looking for some mention of Rogers tattoo) I came accross the Phil Collins website.
It took me to a section on the forum where someone
had asked what everyone thought to Roger. There was some moron on there that called him average,
not very good etc etc, then he rounded it off with mentioning that most rock drummers are drop outs who dont go to university!
I tried to login / register, and after several attempts failed, I just wanted to reply and say
actually Rog could have been a dentist had he not been such a bloody good drummer.
Why do people have to be so nasty, just because they are fans of a certain band, with regard to other bands, everyone has a right to their opinion
however they need to get their facts right before they start.
The reason for posting this is just to get if off my chest, but also to see if anyone else can log on there to put the facts straight! In the most polite manner - of course.
I hate someone having a go at Roger, and not being able to retalliate!
Ooh Andylamb, it gets me soo mad! Particularly when I seem to remember during Live Aid, when Phil
Collins went to America, I cant for the life of me remember which band he was playing drums for and they slated him, saying his playing had ruined their performance. Im sure someone will remember who it was, I felt like saying perhaps if they had asked Rog it wouldnt have happened!
But I wouldnt say that because it would be stooping to this guys level, and also very bitchy, but nevertheless I felt like it!
Oh sod it Flash! Ive nothing against Phil Collins, I can take his music or leave it, but I wouldnt dare call him average, unless I was a drummer of some repute myself and in a position to pass comment, and if I was, I wouldnt speak out about the competition anyway!
However, I am now calming down a bit, its just the Roger Taylor, and Average being in the same sentence that I just cant take!!
