The singer can say that I like this a little bit faster or that a little slower, but it's still the drummer that starts the song according to his feel at the time. No matter how much you've given it thought beforehand, it's still up to the drummer to get the tempo "right". The rest of the band just has to go with it.

I agree with what you're saying, but I'm not speaking in generalities. I'm talking about this song specifically with RD's examples. They're not just a hair off from each other, there had to have been a conscious effort to slow down the song.
