john dohlmayan-system of a down

you guys are all fuckin funny!!!!!!!!!!the drummers of today are okay, but you phrase these guys as "gods" that is such a joke...............put on some "deep purple" or "the who" then you will realize who the drum masters are.
1) ian paice
2) keith moon
3) vinnie coloutta
4) carl palmer
5) terry bozio
these are not in order!!!!!!!!!the list goes on.
dont get me wrong, we do have some good drummers these days, but, someone has to shine, it sure isnt the guitarist of today.

Terry Bozzio
Neil Peart
Vinnie Paul

That is true. Look at his face on Sweet Amber. He looks like he's having a fucking stroke. It looks like he's lost all control of his facial muscles.

Let's see:

It's about the groove and quality of performance and not the speed.

He didn't get drum lessons until Metallica released 3 full albums.

He still sucks.

He doesn't have proper technique and therefore has to put a lot more energy into hitting the drum.

He still has no endurance.

Metallica songs are still some of the easiest songs ever to play, they are the songs a beginer sets off with, much like stairway to heaven and nothing else matters for guitarists.

He can still suck my methaphorical cock any day.

Yeah! That dude kicks ass! Or doesn't exist due to lineup changes.


Not that I'm trying to look at it that way, but that's kinda hot. I'm sure Lars will match that, or his kids will, if you give him the chance.

But he did write a lot of shit that helped to define the genre. Remember that he's one of the first thras songwriters, even if had can't do double bass like Culross. He defined the genre when nobody realized it was one.

Well then he should have stuck to writting and not playing or found a better instrument.

Oh and the cock phrase... When you hang around men you pick up their language. I hang around men. Fuck, there's like only one woman I talk to.

I'd agree, but Metallica didn't exactly suck for years. It worked for them, and it's only lately that he's become the laziest drummer in the history of music. Recently, though, he's let other drummers (including Dave Lombardo) fill in for him on tour.


I know. I know girls who hang around guys. I still find it funny at every opportunity. Especially if you take the time to qualify it.

BrokenCrimson, I will make a bet on it that hes better than me and you so shut the fuck up about Lars already.

__________________

K, so he's better than you and me, but he's been playing for 20 years so he damn well should be.

I used to drool over his playing, but stopped after a forthnight because I realised that there are much, much better drummers.

__________________

Yeah, he even let the dude from slipknot fill in for him. He actually did a fairly decent job. It shows that Lars is a bitch and cant do his own drumming anymore.

__________________

Hands down Flo Mounier. The guy is insane. I notice this has turned into a who is the best drummer instead of a favorite drummer thread pretty damn quick.

Lars dident play that show becuase he was in the hospital. You all don't know if anyone is better than lars unless you actual heard him play alone. He might be able to do blastbeats fast as hell but again, he does drums to fit the music he plays like he should do. Im not saying Lars is amazing or anything but you guys(and BrokenCrimson) keep arguing a battle that can't be won. I dont even like Lars but i know how to use my brain

__________________

We've heard him try to do blast beats. He's limited talent-wise and has always been willing to admit it; read or some interviews with him. Or, hell, watch him 'drum off' with James on Live Shit: Bing and Purge. We've been able to judge him on his talent, and if you think he's just hiding amazing chops I really don't think you're 'using your brain.' I just don't think that's the right scale, since he's obviously not trying to be part of the post-Hoglan school. Metallica never suffered for his drumming, or came close to it, so I don't care if he doesn't compare to more skilled drummers.

However, he's seemed to get less and less interested in drumming, especially during the 90's, so maybe they would suffer from his drumming if they weren't already suffering from much more serious problems. Is Ms Crimson being unduly hard on him? Sure; like I said, he did his job well enough. But go to a Metallica concert and tell me he doesn't seem to be half-assing it and taking shortcuts during fills.
