I get it and those are all valid points, it just doesn’t sit well with me the way they went about it. If they had at least worked on maybe one or two originals I could accept it more. And yes, it has been six years since we lost Neil but it still feels like yesterday for me.
And it’s certainly not the first time this sort of thing happened, AC/DC did it, Journey did it, Alice In Chains did it, I could go on, but Neil holds a special place in my heart and I will always take offense when someone is trying to fill his shoes. IMHO, the drummer who best fits Neil’s Talents is Danny Carey, neither was the fastest or the most technical, Micheal Portnoy and the late Joey Jordison hold those positions for me, but they are the most well rounded and proficient at their craft. Now that Neil is gone, Danny is my #1. Party on, Wayne.🤘🏼
