The fact that lindsey played drums on some Tusk-songs has really NOTHING to do with his supposed lack of love for Mick as a drummer. We are not talking about Mick's behaviour as a bandmate though: I can understand that Lindsey wanted to be a zillion lightyears apart from Mick the lunatic in some times of their bandlife together. And that last remark about Lindsey's totally brilliant solowork: I agree to certain extend. I would pick Mick anyday, too. At last, on Gift Of Screws, Lindsey DID use Mick on his solostuff. But by then, the man was back on earth again using his sensibility as a musician again.
I can't think of ONE quote from Lindsey where he questions Mick's musicianship. I really think that Lindsey has always loved Micks drumwork. I remember him saying Mick's drumtake on WMYTYTO was the best thing he'd ever recorded. And as I recall, that was from the Tuskalbum.
