"You can have your opinion" was a preemptive strike. Usually when people say things that make no sense, their rebuttal is, "well, that's my opinion". I am just saying that your opinion is probably based more in what you DON'T know than what you do. How else could you justify those comments about Steve Gadd?
Now if you said, "I don't like Steve Gadd's style or sound" or something, that's different. However, you chose to say, "that one fast lick", which is a completely rediculous statement. This is STEVE FREAKIN' GADD we are talking about. If the name alone doesn't inspire awe, then I guess you just don't get it.
Nothing personal. I'm not attacking you at all. I didn't take 45 minutes to make everyone feel the way I feel. I am not FORCING my opinions on anyone. STEVE FREAKIN' GADD is completely off limits for criticism, heh. I took a few minutes to tell everyone how misguided and ininformed these quotes were (yours included.)
Ok, so he doesn't excite you, but you can't say he only has one fast lick. That is simply wrong, and yes, sorry to say, ignorant. Again, nothing personal, but what other word fits?
If you say the sky is red, I'm going to tell you it is blue, that's all I'm saying.
