Karl Hungus

That's mightily impressive.

MagnumForce

Thats an orgasm to my ears! the third guy, not sure which one he is, after the one with glasses, his kick drum sounds beautiful!!! what tone and perfect reverb! oh god, think im about to cream myself with my delight at the sound!!

crosstownk

Now that's what I call impressive.

Wow.

It wasn't me!

What I really draw from that is how tasteful teh whole setup is.

Giblet

I like it, it's not brash metal stuff. Everything is perfect. Great tone, great melody and rhythm. Ah yes!

Youtube kicks ass.

honru

Dave Weckl's probably my favourite drummer, amazing stuff as you can see.

Hey, I like it too, but don't knock the brash metal stuff! Some of us like that sort of thing.

Giblet

That sounds like biscuit tin rock.

You sound like you need to insult something else in order to validate your own opinion. Honestly Giblet, I'd like to see a thread on here about a musician where you are trying to put something down. I think this thread would've stood perfectly on it's own without your comments about 'Brash metal stuff' and I don't know why you even brought it up in the first place.

The styles are completely different, but that doesn't mean either style is any less valid. If I want to hear some drumming with more melody, then Neil Peart is excellent, but that isn't what Flo Mounier's solo is about, it's all about the exhilerating blasts of speed, and I can certainly appreciate it for that. Don't insult it just because it's not the same as what you've posted, Giblet.

Giblet

Production in that video is hurtful to mein ears, biscuit tin rockesque, like he couldn't tune his kit. And using a double bassdrum to create the illusion of speed isn't something i'd respond to compared to drummers who wouldn't use that technique. It's not to do with insulting or passing myself off as anything "beyond" that type of drumming. It's just what I like. I don't need to validate everything in the context of "it sounds good to someone all music is subjective" bollox. It'd be like someone scoffing at "I don't know art, but I know what I like" because they like art so much. It might be "offensive" to someone who thinks they have studied every facet of the topic they love so much but it isn't anymore valid. Infuriating, isn't it?

Karl Hungus

If you don't need to validate anything, then why bother making the statement "I like it, it's not brash metal stuff." when you could just leave it as "I like it"? Why the need to put down something else.

Granted, you say it isn't something you respond to... so why bring it up?

Giblet

Because I can? I use brash as a derogatory term meaning unpleasant and harsh, and in my experience, some metal drummers who are lamented display this trait more than others. I use it as a conversation piece between party tricks. Come on, I'll respond tomorrow when I;m more less drunk ..

feylya

I don't like arguing on my forum. I do like banning. Let's just keep that in mind.

Ah come on! Don't be like that. This could be an extremely interesting debate.

feylya

If it was a debate. I see only petty squabbling.

So Glad

Oh that was at a Buddy Rich memorial. Buddy Rich was an amazing drummer.

Buddy Rich

Karl Hungus

One man's petty squabbling... Ah, forget about it, I'll be off.

Giblet

Jesus feylya I give give give and you only want to take. I'm hardly charles manson here

feylya

We all love to argue when we're drunk dont we!! im drunknright now, thats why ive nothing constructive at all to say at the moment!! druuuuuuuunk! sorry, ill re join this proper coversation 2morow aswell! nite all!

Giblet

Ok ok, I just wanted to get it across that I'm not anti-metal, just anti- elements of metal. I suppose I could say that about every music genre, but I'd be here all day. (I was also kind of taking a dig at the big metal solo linkage culture here hehe). I JUST WISH BONHAM WAS STILL ALIVE OK IS THAT A CRIME!

Jon Theodore is close though (toi what i think bonham would sound like if he was alive today (and not 60))

feylya

Metal drummage for teh win! Also, I am drunk. Drunk on POWAH.

On the "Reaper rap" on the soundtrack of B&T's bogus journey, the steve vai instrumental with vocal clips from the film over it, "Death" says "get down with your bad self" i love that soundtrack, look it up, ull love it too!

Its got Go To Hell by Megadeth on it!

Giblet

I have it. Yeah I know what you're talking about. B+T was my first exposure to Steve Vai, mainly all the little twiddly twiddly dee's they do with their fingers. Dooo doo dooooooo.dooo doo do........doo doo do... TWANNNGLEEEE (that pinch is hilarious)

Next up: Terry Bozzio, man or animal?

John

Deep Purple "The Mule" ftw

(2 minutes in lads, 2 minutes in)

F*ckin brilliant! it has to be one of my favorite soundtracks. "battle stations" by winger is a GREAT song!!! and the little bits solo bits steve plays throughout the film you mention are brilliant, why cant real life have guitar soud effect like that!!

Because im drunk ive kinda forgotten what we were talking about originally so i propose a sticky thread dedicated to drunk metal/rock fans to express their drunken opinions

MagnumForce

That sounded like a good idea at the time...

JacoStanley

It seems Vinne got the most cheers more often. Must get me some stuff he's played on. I love Gadd's drumming on Aja. Weckl should go back to playing on stuff like Material Girl (just kidding). Excellent playing on Material Girl.

steveland?

It was a real shame that Bozzio wasn't at the Zappa gig last night... He was at the gig in Prague though and I got to hear him do The Black Page... great stuff.

Giblet

I was reading Baggio's post and a Rush song started playing in Winamp. I'm not joking!
