Personally, I don't think there's anything you can do on one instrument that you can't do on another.

Except maybe the triangle, I don't think you could do a particularly interesting solo with one of those.

But yeah. If people can let loose on the guitar, why not the drums? Though drum and bass solos work better when there's other musical accompaniment, since they are rhythmic instruments.

The drums aren't melodic, so I think there should be limitations with it.. if there's not fair enough, but I won't listen to it. But that's just me, I'm sure others share my view and no doubt many share yours. Just personal preference I guess. Agree to disagree.

Solos don't have to be melodic, they can also be rhythmic.

Actually, they don't have to be either, if you're into ambient and avant garde stuff.

Not if I'm gonna listen to it.

That's one of the most closed-minded things I've ever heard in relation to music...great things can be done with drums. I don't see why you'd lump such extreme, unnecessary hate upon drums...there are bad drum solos but there's also bad drummers who don't even try to play solos. Saying that the only instrument allowed to do something great that stands out from the music is the guitar is just...dumb? I don't even know, it's so outlandish I never really thought anyone would think it.

I already covered this, but thanks for backing me up. =D

Not bothered if it's 'close minded' I don't want to listen to drum solos. If that's close minded then so be it, don't see how it's close minded to dislike something. But fair enough.

Over-exaggerated auto-tune is enjoyable. Maybe it's because I don't hear it as often as some though.

Muse declining? Idk, maybe. Perhaps they just felt that they'd saturated the space rock genre that dominated their first 4 albums and wanted to head in a new direction. I like The Resistance, granted, not as much as I like Absolution and Black Holes, and I wouldn't say they're "declining", just changing.

Eh I'll probably refrain from that statement because I haven't yet heard The Resistance.

A 13 minute prog epic? That's obviously the kind of direction I was hoping for.
