I agree. Eye contact is very important. I love it when I look at a guitarist or a keyboard player or especially a bass player and I get a nod of acknowledgment. No they haven’t forgotten about me and they do appreciate what I’m doing👍🏻😂
It’s usually the singer or the lead guitarist who’s leading the signals for each song and progression through each concert. There was only one time when I’ve known a bass player that lead the band around
I don't need to see them, I need to hear them. I'm the one odd drummer on the entire planet who values monitoring over eye contact. I only need eye contact to make sure somebody isn't distracted or preoccupied when it's my job to count in the next song. Of course Simon Phillips can take proper monitoring for granted, the same way he takes a keyboardist like Chick Corea for granted.
They don't look at each other because they have been raised with their faces in screens : computers, smart phones , and video games. Technology is creating generations of people who can't interact face to face.a

Simon 🥁 was Great on the Song "Give Blood" It made him a ⭐ Touring with The Who 🇬🇧 & Pete Townsend also Helped!
Exactly Sensei Master 🙏🏻🥷
Amazing playing on Jon Anderson's Animation album. 🎉
i am a drummer and i admire Simon Phillips but i don´t imagine my favorite thrash metal bands looking at the audience without headbanging :D
visual connection 👍
I played drums in bands for years and was the same way!
Hero 🙌💪👍
he is right we not play with recorded backsound/playback, we play with our human friend we need to adjust our self with them and having fun
According to Jimi Hendrix communication is the second most important thing to have as a musician.

Preach preach preach. It's absolutely infuriating. Just because I have a TalkBack doesn't mean I should need it.
