Hi,
That garilla is the worst drummer EVER!
I'm not sure that Phil should be complaining that much. He got out of it all what 1% of all the musicians can never get or achieve. Maybe he is just unhappy that his wife department was not as nice, or helpful, of maybe he was the cause being depressed and out of it, for the wrong reasons, and probably being overly sensitive.
That he may have lost this or that, is understandable to a point ... Ozric Tentacles also lost a lot of their charm when their 2nd drummer hurt his back, and everyone since has been just a 4/4 drummer with no talent whatsoever, or ability to get out of the numbers!
It's a fact of life ... getting that old ... now, if you don't think there are some of us old farts that stand up, go watch Edgar Froese play his guitar on the link on his thread. A duet with Linda Spa, no less. Or if it's boring, watch him thrash a piano with a serious cat'o'9'tails!
I tend to think that Phil overdid his thing, and did not take a break when he should have and rest, so he would not wear himself out! Something like it. Bury yourself at work when you are unhappy at home ... sounds familiar? Hopefully, that will never happen to Bapu who buries himself at play, instead!
