Neil Peart has a drums only version of “The Main Monkey Business” up on his site. I wish the band would release tracks such as this for fans to download — imagine being a bass player and jamming with Neil and Alex. That would be extremely wicked.
If anyone figures out how to save the file, please let me know. While listening to the Neil-only version of the track, I had some riffs and melodies pop into my head. I’d love to import it into GarageBand and see what my ideas would sound like over that drum track.
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before some folks start posting their interpretations online. Could be very interesting indeed!

I’ve got the file saved at my site. AAC format, 44.1KHz, 16bit, stereo, 192kbps. http://www.test4echo.com/neil_drums_only.m4a

Thanks! I wonder if my bass playing is worthy.
