    Drummer,
        I dunno if we would all be licking Vinnie's boots if he played
for Rush.  I think the point that people have been trying to make is that even
if Vinnie is a better player it is not the technical ability which makes them
love Neil.  What I love is Neil's style.  If Vinnie was in Rush and played like
Neil does then of course I would like him, but I doubt they would play
similarly (which is good).
    Of course, it may be that I would like Vinnie's playing even better, but
my taste isn't just based on ability.  Simply put I love Neil's playing, whether
or not it's difficult.  It goes wonderfully with the music (IMHO)...

                        H.C.E.
