Paul and drums

[Doug]

There've been a lot of mentions of Paul and drums lately, so I'm taking a plunge and asking the hard questions.

Mainly, any insights into Paul's relationship with Chris? Did Paul treat him bad? Is Chris a good drummer? With the minimalist drums on ASD, was Paul trying to make Chris feel unnecessary? (I think Chris didn't play on most of it?)

Drums are one of the few arguments I have for using a producer (or editor or 2nd opinion or engineer or whatever). Though ASD is the only album they bother me on.

Any comments on Paul/drums appreciated.

Got the impression Chris drummed just fine for the straight ahead thrash but when PW started wanting the spotlight on his songwriting Chris couldn't/wouldn't supply the subtler or trickier fills and rhythms. I don't know, it always reminded me of Paul McCartney telling George how to play the guitar breaks and redoing Ringo's drum parts when he wasn't around. Misguided genius control freak.

Apparently this topic doesn't hold the same interest for others as it does for me (at times). But anymore insights into Paul and Chris or Paul and drums?
