Rolling Stone list top 100 drummers.. Actually pretty decent

[The Amazer]

Jimmy Chamberlain is a great drummer, if you see them play FUCK YOU (an ode to no one) live on their videos DVD, he goes off tap.

Travis Barker is WAAAY too low.

Top 20 seems pretty good for a Rolling Stone list. I disagree with a few of the choices, but compared to their other lists, this one is actually pretty good.

There are some great drummers in there. I mean drummers that play with great musicianship, taste, technique etc, not just guys who play average (or worse) drums in a band that sells a lot of records (although there are some of those in the list too). It's much better than that ballsup of the 100 greatest guitarists.

When asked if he thought Ringo Star was the best drummer in the world by a reporter, John Lennon replied "Ringo? He's not even the best drummer in the band!" I think he's a sweety and I love the Beatles but if I ever see him in a poll above Roger Taylor and Dave Grohl again, I will have him shot.

These lists are a bunch of spunk.

Thats the spirit Dreamy

 

[junak]

the fact that they acknowledged Mike Sus from Possessed is champion

 

[Goreripper]

I only just noticed that! That is awesome.

For one, John Bonham should be like the 150th drummer on this list! he sucks! Danny Carey should be like 1st or 2nd. And Matt McDonough should be at least in the top 20. Joey Jordison should be in the top 10.

Danny Carey

Worth exhuming for that quote alone

 

[FerretallicA]

I mean exhuming this thread... not John Lennon.

 

[Spiff]

The thread was resurrected by someone making his/her first post too! Bonus *glugs* for that.

 

[Hanso]

Mickey Dee should be there

Not a bad list really

I've gotta say the top 20 are ok. I'd like to see Ian paice higher though, top 5. Nevertheless, Rolling Stone's "greatest" lists are usually crap.

 

[FerretallicA]

Not quite on topic but not worthy of it's own, I found this on Wikipedia...

The album is the band's fifth consecutive studio album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States, making Metallica the first band ever to achieve five consecutive number one debuts.[3]

While I think it's awesome to have Metallica hold that particular crown, it's also pretty... disappointing? Disheartening? Confusing? Depressing? I'm not sure but it's pretty SOMETHING to think St Anger actually reached #1 at all let alone debuted there.

I've recently started collecting the Beatles boxes.

just have to wait for the remaining two to die so I have the complete set. :Smug:

 

[phlogiston]

You've got to remember the enormous hype and excitement around that album though.

6 years in the making, no Newstead, a change in direction from the "sellout pop-metal" that they'd turned into (just the impression that I had at the time, not my own opinion).

Hell, it's still the only Metallica album I've even bought. (I've relied on my brother for all of the others).
