Love Buddy, Alias, the Palmers, Bruford, Peart, et al. but this guy is my fave - by far.
Agree and disagree about live Rush. Some of their stuff is too complex for alot of live improve - lots of layered studio production too. They do try sometimes as on Exit Stage Left on which most every track is better and different from the studio version. It woul be nice if they would completely change a songs arrangement once in a while though - ala Zep, King Crimson, etc.
Anyway, Gavin is the best!
