@patthedrummer85 What didn't you understand about my comment? Dennis Chambers payed homage to Steve Gadd's take on the song on Steely Dan, 'Alive in America.' Do YOU know what you're talking about? Seek out that version of Aja and YOU tell ME; Did Dennis Chambers stick to Steve Gadd's script a bit more?
Keith would benefit from listening to Dennis Chambers' take on the Steve Gadd solos. Not so busy, way more syncopated, and way less cymbals for God's sake. Can I play the solo better? Hell no but a guy with Keith Carlock's talent should know better than the drumset acrobatics. He's so busy playing sixteenths and rolls that he's neglected the empty space with which Gadd so brilliantly infused the original solo. I felt the same way when I saw them live.
@STIRKDAWG i dont know why so many people are dissing this comment, you are absolutely right. Gadd had a grace about him when he recorded this in the studio (in one take might i add). The empty space that he left in the recording not only helped the song, but allowed the other members of the band to fill that space, ultimately creating the Aja that we true musicians have come to respect. Silly wanna-be drummers. Go watch a Travis Barker video or something.

How the hell did this band make it into the Rock Hall of Fame and a band like DEVO can't??
Steely Dan's music was the norm for that day and is nothing original. Devo's music and influence can be heard in today's music.
I can name you over a hundred bands who said DEVO inspired/ influenced them, but can't name one band who said the same about Steely Dan...
