He said Nick never contributed to anything. He also said Nick is not in a position to talk about inspiration. He also said that after Syd left, everybody except for Nick "obviously" were trying to write new songs.

even if some1 didnt know much about pink floyd u would know that nick probably didnt contribute much because hes a drummer(probably the lowest position in a band songwriting wise). and i will admit for a drummer writing as much as 2 songs on ur own is extremely alot. and, besides this interview was in 2006. how would u know if he still feels the same about nicks contribution. opinions can change in a matter of days(it sure does for me often Biggrin).

Neil Peart writes pretty much all of the lyrics for RUSH...

I totally disagree, if anyone could everyone would, and yes, I know everyone can but I can paint, very badly but I can still do it. There's a huge difference between being able to do something and being able to do it successfully.

yes, and my point is that being a drummer doesnt have anything to do with writing lyrics.

What? What difference does it possibly make whether you are drummer, guitarist or freaking roadie, whoever is best at lyrics typically writes the lyrics. My point was you saying that anyone (and according to you except drummers) can write lyrics strikes me as erroneous.

glare my point in the first place is that drummers can write lyrics. but drums is not a good instrument for composing music itself.

If that is your point then fine, perhaps it's a language issue, but that is NOT what you said, and while composing may not be the best/easiest way in many groups where the music is a collaboration all members add to the songs. I know bands who actually record the drums and guitars not only at different times but at different locations each feeding off the other's recording.
