Adam may not be Flea, but he's actually a pretty knowledgable musician these days. He's been known to play "off" the rhythm of the song, or even play in a separate key, which is something a "mediocre" musician wouldn't ever do. And Larry, well Larry was actually a pretty interesting drummer up until 2000, he's had a few moments since then, but...
But my point is that music isn't about the technical prowess, it's often about the "magic" that can be created. You may be able to solo up and down the neck for 24 hours a day, but if you can't connect to the human spirit you're worthless.

But I like him. He can speak a 1000 words just by sitting there...

And I don't really see how Adam and Larry's own style of playing became any more interesting as they experimented with new styles. Each specific song's playing isn't anything to rave about.
shart1780 said:My point is that the drumming in Rattle And Hum isn't much different than the drumming in Atomic Bomb, except that it's a little louder. Thei style of playing didn't change much as time went on, except it got even less interesting.
No spoken words said:But can Adam or Larry eat a fucking planet? No, they can't. Want to know who can?

The drummer and bass player from Coldplay?

They eat each other.
HIGH-OH!
shart1780 said:Ok, in all fairness you got me there. Probably some of the band's best bass and drum lines. I'm speaking in generalities when I say the band's rhythm section is bad of course, so there will be exceptions. I think Desire and Hawkmoon probably have some of the best drumming of all U2 songs. LAPOE has a great bass line too (although Adam didn't write it). Ultraviolt also has awesome bass.
Still, I stand by my opinion.
