My face fell of when I heard self titled and Iowa is was 8 😅
Clearly everything from Tool for me
You already spoke about 5 of them ! But one of mine taht is not in your list is Ghost Reveries from Opeth.
I would enjoy a non-metal version of this list from you (even if it was songs vs albums).
No obzen by meshuggah?!? Pretty sure that birthed a whole new generation of bands
That drum fill in Heretic Anthem was Joey's way of paying tribute to Dave Lombardo.
It's almost identical to the Angel Of Death fill.
holy SHIT how did I never realize that 😂
@@66Samus I'm very disappointed in you, Samus!!!!! Please hand in your card.
JOKES!!!!
Seriously though, I read an interview with Joey after Iowa came out and that's what he said.
@@66Samus I was as certain as Mike Terana's drum solos during his time in Rage were godlike that you would mention the identical drum fill after talking about the Heretic Anthem haha !
@@66Samus pretty sure joey mentioned in an old MD article it was a hommage to AOD . great list btw!
@@66Samus Haha, you even referenced the AoD fill earlier! 😂 It’s okay - you obviously have been spending more time playing drums than trying to find correlations between iconic drum fills! We’ll allow it!
Metallica is literally like the doorway to metal, but soon you realize that there are other doors to go through and you get introduced to so many amazing bands. And I agree, and Justice for All has incredible drumming
Yeah, Metallica has been THE doorway for all metal all this time and so you can explore and discover an endless variety of amazing bands.
old metallica albums are nightmare to listen today. if you rise the play speed to 1,5 then it starts to sound like normal play speed
@@agstudioband what
@@x8nis yea, especially and justice for all is such a slow sluggish music, i cant stand listening to it. Try changing play speed to 1,5 and it starts to sound like contemporary music.
Sad but true. I can't stand them anymore. It was the intro to metal for nineties kids
1:40 - Metallica - ...And Justice for All
5:13 - Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
7:49 - Slayer - Reign in Blood
9:04 - Slipknot - IOWA
11:26 - Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn + Ashes of the Wake
13:49 - Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
17:12 - Angra - Temple of Shadows
20:02 - Necrophagist - Epitaph
23:53 - Blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
26:44 - Death - Symbolic
Man...i don't follow 66Samus that much-even though i know him, cool dude for sure!- but i just saw that and all i can i say is i can relate SO MUCH WITH THAT!
-Justice is also my favorite Metallica ever ✅
-Metropolis Pt. 2, being the very first album i bought 13 years old..just by its cover!(i don't know how many people did the same thing, we should gather and create a group about this )
What a music piece of art that album is..and i could care less about being a concept album,the music is just PHENOMENAL✅
-IOWA is also on my top 10 and i spent the summer of 2001 listening to that plus another classic from this list..✅
-Ashes of the Wake did the same for me back in 04..✅
-AND FUCK ME, in the summer of 2001 Puritanical along with Iowa introduced me to extreme blast beats!!perfect album and Nicko's signature is everywhere ✅
-Temple of Shadows it's a yes!The only album i own of them besides Rebirth-good power metal albums✅
-Necrophagist .....YES MAN!!the reason i can't stand all those new brutal death/technical bands out there is Sound of Perseverance and Epitaph.....Only Revocation is an exception!✅
- Blink-182 is the only mehh case on the list..moving on❌!
-Death with Symbolic is an obvious choice but like i said, the Sound of Perseverance will always be THE game changer to me ,so...almost ✅!
I wrote a lot i know..that's my 'short' story reaction to this great list!Please, write yours below and... let the metal flow!!🤟🤟🤟
thanks, now i have no reason to watch this video.
Loved this!!
Genius! Thanks!
@@wretchedslippage3255 Watch the video then you have a reason to not scroll through again to remember the artist, albums and songs! Don't be a hater!
Meahuggah really blew my mind when I first heard them. I couldn’t get over how how Tomas could play all those crazy polyrhythms and still be so groovy and smooth. It’s really kind of obzen.
Death Human was a turning point for me. Every instrument leveled up on that one
RIP Sean Reinert
Death and Cynic are fucking incredible
Rip Sean Malone now, fuck man
Sean Reinert and cynic would rehearse next to my brothers warehouse. Alex Marquez from solstice , malevolent creation -retribution , Anger among others. I would see Sean playing and I couldn’t figure out what he was doing at times. RIP Sean .
That fade in hot for teacher on steroids drum intro then those heavy as hell guitars enter...then blast off...genre changing album. First time hearing those fast flawless 4's to 6's in his feet under the solos made me rewind it (cassettes baby🤘) cause I wasnt sure what I'd just heard! 30+ years ago and Human still stands up to anything. And of course Cynic Focus was incredible as well-sick period for metal ....RIP Sean!!
Could not agree with you more 👌Human raised the bar and it has never fell...
Nick Barker's playing on anything is just so good,my favourite metal drummer of all time.His playing is so fast,chaotic,clean,melodic and beautiful that man is a genius.
100%agree Nick Barker switched my influence to higher level 🎚️ but before Nick Barker was Children of Bodom Jaska till now Nick is the beast out of new the fastest drummer's
He’s the beast in Cruelty and the Beast.
Hell yes, hearing anyone playing Progenies besides him just doesn't to the song justice.
Have you listened to Lock Up????
I still get goosbumps every single time i listen to Dimmu and Cradle albums with Nick Barker drumming, he is special!
Nick Barker's work on Old Man's Child - In Defiance of Existence is absolutely amazing.
Hell yes. After I discovered Dimmu, I had a similar Nick Barker obsession and started listening to anything he was a part of. LOVED this Old Man's Child record.
💯
hell's yeah, Old Man's Child is way overlooked!!
Also, Gene Hoglan played on Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion.
Galder has impeccable taste in drummers.
I did not expect Angra, but damn I am happy you included them. Damn banger of an album.
That Dimmu Borgir album is a masterpiece, between them and Cradle of Filth at that time it was more then my brain could handle.
Nick Barker effect
Dude no shame in liking Travis Barker, that guy is unreal creative with his drumming. Always been a huge fan of TB
I feel like every drummer I knew growing up named him as one of their favorites.
I prefer another one Barker ;))
Adam's song has insane drumming
It's amazing how good he is considering how basic the general songs are...
Lol I absolutely love blink 182 but yeah the drumming is amazing if you pay attention
Neil Peart is the drummer that blew my mind. Earlier Rush, Fly By Night - Permanent Waves......excellence! Death is freaking awesome too! Symbolic and Individual Thought Patterns are my favorite! R.IP. Chuck and Neil! 🤘🤘🤘
Yes indeed
All Rush is great, all the way through. Even the keyboard albums are amazing,
My grandma turned me on some of her favorites like, Metallica , Slayer, Kreator, Children of Bodom , Inflames, but Death , ultimately Symbolic , ITP and Vivus! I am working on owning my first drum kit . I want to practice the rest of my lifetime !! 💯🤘🏼
I love Death's Symbolic album for sure and Gene is one of my all time faves. But i love the album Human and Sean Rienert's drumming even more. There's something in it that I can't explain.
Bruh, I felt every word you said about Mike Portnoy and Dance of Eternity on a spiritual level. Being a teenager and just pumping SFaM on repeat for countless hours was arguably the most formative part of my life.
My favorite Gene playing is when he was with Strapping Young Lad. What a brilliant monster!!! Almost Again is a masterpiece.
Gene's drumming is absolutely INSANE with Strapping
+
SYL is speed and insane.
But Symbolic is one the most creative album on drum.
Gene use drum like melodie !
Beautiful
First time I heard Shitstorm it melted my face off. SO AMAZING!
I met him on a SYL tour. He's the nicest guy in the world ! But still, his work on Death is the climax of metal drumming TMO
I feel this way about Gavin Harrison. Even though I'm a guitar player, his drumming completely changed the way I see music and how a complex song can be constructed. You can be both incredibly skilled while still playing to the level of the song and always keeping the pocket groove perfect.
Amen to that. And he has the nicest drum tone everm so fat and warm but piercing.
Gavin is an amazing drummer. One of my all-time faves.
love this vid of him on drumeo: czcams.com/video/QvHyAcl__aA/video.html
Gavin is in my all time favorites TOP 5. definitely. however, he is not so influential to other drummers. He is quite well readable, he doesnt have that kind of mystery in his plays, which makes you study it more time and more deeply, and even after long time you still dont get it. There are other drummers who got this. Also i think, you can play Gavin style quite easily, because he has got a few signature lines and he got using them so much.
Gavin is a genius. His Sonor kit is consummately tuned to perfection.
Heyyy same! For me, it’s Danny Carey that changed the way I heard, saw, and played guitar. It made patterns that were difficult for the brain to even hear all at once sooo much easier to comprehend and navigate myself. Helped me out in so many ways.
Since you mentioned a death album I must to add that thier album individual thought pattern to the list. This album is incredibly underrated espacially when it comes to drumming. There are a lot of really mind- blowing stuff going on in this album. The problem is that the songs are not recorded very well, so the drums kinda dissappear in the mix thus it's easy to miss the really- tasty stuff. I really recommend to listen closely to the drums over there, it's a really fascinating experience.
Ashes of the Wake is a masterpiece and to me fourth song (The faded Line) really made me want to boost my drumming
Those two-over-two fills that Chris did and especially the use of two bells was 🔥 so clean and catchy
Something I love so much about music is that beyond just listening and enjoying it for what it is, you can go down the rabbit hole years later and explain your personal connections to certain albums, compare notes with friends, and relive all those times in your life where each song/album/band became attached to your conscience. Awesome video dude!
Your influences and order of finding these albums/bands directly mirrors mine in a lot of ways. It’s really a great trip down memory lane. Awesome video.
Justice absolutely broke my brain. I heard it in its entirety on the day it was released -- the local college station had an on-air listening party and I tuned in. Knocked me flat. Didn't know that music could sound like that.
Every year that passes by, if I hear any Necrophagist song, I'm like "Man if this came out this year it would be groundbreaking"
Many of the albums in the video impressed me when i first listened to them. Epitaph has impressed me again watching this video and ive played it a thousand times.
Epitaph when it came out was just miles ahead of anything that was out at the time. It’s no wonder he never wrote a 3rd album (as gutting as that is)
Man, seeing your love and respect for these albums is so enjoyable. Amazing video!
I hope you do more of these types of videos. This is my fav upload of yours and I’ve probably watched it like 5 times already over the last year. It’s awesome hearing about your influences and your stories from the past - you should make a series out of it. 🤘🏻
thank you my friend!!!
Two of my all time favorite bands from high school was Symphony X and Angra! Love it!
Me too. Where are you from?
slayers reign in blood was definitely the album that changed my drumming all across the board man.. great album.. 🤟🤟
So talking about coming late to the party I've been subscribed to this guy for years and only just now found out that he was and according to Wikipedia still is the drummer for decrepit birth wow maybe what my mother said is true I just don't know how to pay attention very good
He did a video of all the tours he was part of. I don't remember what he labeled the video tho
@@wizzardx666 I couldn't believe it Googled decrepit birth and there was pre-amazing beard Samus
How is this commented 3days ago on a video posted 8hrs ago….
@@LickyMyNippy patreon I believe
@@LickyMyNippy He posts early on Patreon.
You need to do more videos like this Sam, awesome watching you get so happy and excited talking about these records
oh man its so much fun getting to hear about new/old bands and hear other ppls takes on them i fkn loved this vid and i added angra to my playlist thanks !
I can totaly releate to the Dimmu album.I had almost the same reaction back then;
"Oh no? Synth shit again...."
"Actually this is nicely composed and done"
"Oh, that was a nice change. Quite epic intro"
"HOLY SHIT! WTF just started?!"
Brow, i had the exact same reaction when i first heard it, especially with "Kings of the Carnival Creation"
You're a legend for mentioning Perennial Quest . Symbolic is the greatest metal album of all time, and that riff you highlighted might be one on the greatest pieces of music ever written! Cheers
Symbolic 🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Love everything about this walkthrough, you are the man! Fun to watch as always
The blink 192 got me! So glad you added them in! Such a great band and brings back my school days of an inspiring young drummer! Thanks!
I think my first reaction to Slipknot was quite the same to yours... I was blown away by everything. Corey's voice, the drumming, the riffs...
And "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" is one of my all time favourite albums.
This made me feel really old but love your album picks. I remember when they were all released.
Awesome albums, awesome bands, great explanation of what makes those drums to drool on about! Cheers Samus, way to go!
Speaking of punk drummers: the guy from Yellowcard and his snare fills did change part of my drumming journey. So clean
I got goosebumps at 13:50 when Puritanical popped up. THANK YOU! :) It's still my favourite album of music!
"Power of inner strength" by Grip Inc... Dave Lombardo's (Slayer) side project is still to this day, a little gem in my library... 😎
thank god! For these types of videos , I just love hearing someone talk about favorite albums, it's always fun to hear what they recommend and get to know, often off the charts great, artists and albums yuo otherwise wouldn't listen to. Thx for giving me a whole day worth of metal albums 😀
Hell yea, love this! So much passion and conviction. Gawd I love music. I realized that I got check out Angra, those bits you played had some wildly spectacular drumming wow. Blast on Samus, you are legend my friend.
Totally unexpected to see Angra's Temple of Shadows here on this list.
Congrats Samus, we from Brazil are honored to see someone like you loving soo much a album for our country 🇧🇷😎🤘
Was expecting another little band from Brazil called Sepultura haha
@@gbparadaalso me man, but Angra still is incredible to see
For me in the beginning it was the Slipknot self titled album.. there’s something about joeys drumming on that album that when you hear it for the first time.. it blows you away! Some of his fills and double bass work was just mesmerising .
Imagez and words, dream theatre, changed my outlook, bro. The melody's are awesome. 🤘
It warmes my heart, that a legend like Sam is sharing my history... being a drummer myself I too heard the same albums like Sam, getting inspired to drums🫡 also the emotions were quite the same
I think the song the philosopher by death easily blew my mind and so did sepulturas song refuse resist both are just crazy tunes that made me love double bass patterns and drumming as a whole a lot more
I've listened to a lot of metal and rock during my time in high school. Along the way, I discovered something new. For me, Primus is one of those bands that really made me do a double take during my days in high school. Keeping up with Les Claypool's quirky bass playing is quite a feat.
Dude, it's so great to see you have so much fun listening to these albums!
Thank you dude!!!!! Finally!!! Appreciation!!! That album campout when I was 11 and I was actually a little scared of it. It a major player in my playlists now.
I'd say for me my favorite percussion albums would be
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Slipknot - Self Titled
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
Dying Fetus - Regin Supreme
Rush - 2112
Death - Symbolic
Korn - Life is Peachy
Yeah Gene is absolutely the MAN!!! Alien by Strapping Young Lad was one of those albums for me & it was Gene's drumming for them that first drew me to them. I also love that he said he purposely changes his style depending on who he's playing with so Death Hoglan doesn't sound like SYL Hoglan or Testament Hoglan, that shows true artistry to me. 🤘🔥
I could watch Sam geek out over metal all day. Not even metal; just music in general. This is the reason I subscribe.
the cymbal choke at 20:22 tickled hard-- Awesome hearing one of MY inspirations' inspirations
Dave Lombardo in Slayer, Gene Hoglan in Death and Strapping Young Lad and you three that plays in Empath from Devin Townsend, I can't believe that level of drumming in that album and how work all together. Igor from Sepultura have a honor mention too. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Man, this compilation was epic.
I really feel sorrow and sadness for anyone that doesn't listen to metal. They've missed so much.
66S Dude, thanks for the heads up, on Angara, Temple is amazing! this is a fantastic band keep'em coming, btw I love the E drum stuff you do.
I love this video so much! Our trajectories to new music were so similar.
I’ll never forget being an impressionable 18 year old and buying Iowa hardly knowing anything about it, I’d heard of slipknot but not much, the album cover had a huge explicit content sticker on it, almost the same size as the cd case, walking back to my mates house, and in the first 30 seconds just having our minds blown. It forever changed my musical landscape. Joey, Travis and Gene were gods to me for years.
I still go back to that era and listen to all those albums I was obsessed with, I don’t think I’ll ever stop, I love them as much today as I did then.
I’ve played all different styles of music, but I’ll forever be a fan of heavy music!
That was awesome, Samus! Oh my god. Death - Symbolic was my first introduction to death metal and I was completely blown away by Gene's playing. Fucking amazing. Since then I have been looking for the next extreme drummer and my search has revealed some amazing drummers. I think one of my favorites would have to be Henker - Slave of My Art. Such an underrated band IMHO. Thanks for this video. Made my day \m/
Archspire - "Bleed the Future" is an INSANE album for drumming. Definitely check it out.
Very good list, a lot of those albums are ones I'd pick for drumming too.
But I personally think Death's 'The Sound of Perseverance' is really overlooked. The drumming on that album is fuckin insane. The stuff that Richard Christy did was just mind blowing. So jazzy and intricate.
Christy is overlooked as a all-time great!
I loved that Temple of Shadows was one of the albums that changed your drumming. It changed mine too! Aquiles, even though not as fast as the other examples, has so many little tasty things going on!
Excellent video, Samus, so many of these were inspiration for me as well.
Good to see Hannes Grossmann mentioned... he seems to appear in a million different bands these days (Alkaloid and early Obscura being my favorites), but his playing is always nothing short of amazing, both technically and musically speaking... 👌
He and Christian Müenzner well could be the germany tech death scene
His drumming on blotted science album was sick beyond sick...
@@lalmene1965 Indeed! 👌
I really appreciate Opeth drummers. I am not drummer my self but damn they are good. For me it would be Opeth - Ghost reveries
Memories come flooding back to me as I watch this video 😊❤💪🏻
You are godly choosing and justice for all. Huge respect
Brian "Brylle" Rasmussen from Mnemic is such an underrated drummer. His fills live are just incredibly tight and strong. Really freaking technical too.
I know its more simple than the ones you listed but it was the chorus on Empty Words that really blew me away for Gene Hoglan
You are one of my favorite inspirational drummers!! Legend❤
If you’re still in the mood to check out new music I highly recommend Dir En Grey, their discography is vastly diverse, they always do something different with each album and Along with Kyo’s amazing vocals and the great guitar work of Koaru and Die and toshiya’s bass and who can forget Shinya’s creative drum style. He could play any song straight forward but he always incorporates every piece of his kit into the music and it’s all inspiring to hear
Dude I'm a drummer too 39yrs old and our journey is very similar lol I started on black album too. And then all the bands you mentioned had the same influences on me I named my son after Nicholas barker because of that exact track u first heard so yeah awesome dude but I'd chuck in fear factory too they changed everything drums wise but yeah cheers dude stay metal 😘🤘🤘 also watched a drum clinic video with a heap of drummers on it that opened my mind af
please make a part 2! fav yt video in a while!
So awesome to hear your influences. Justice for life!
Nice! Nick Barker is a legend, such a good drummer and so are you dude! Decrepit Birth is up there with the greats of Death Metal.
Also funny that you brought up Dimmu Borgir, because some of their orchestral stuff ended up in the movie Stardust (and it's promo trailers) lol.
I try to enlighten more people about this less known mustis fun fact. Too bad what happened with them and vortex and mustis cause DB hasn't been the same since. 😔
@@BLASTbeatDAD I agree.
It's funny, I followed Nick Barker from early Cradle of Filth, and had been listening to Dimmu since the mid-90s. By the time Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia came out I had considered Dimmu to be the "Black" metal supergroup. Guitar player from Old Man's Child, bassist and singer from Borkngar, drummer from Cradle of Filth, all bands I had been listening to in high school at that point. Even still, I had the same experience listening to those first 2 tracks for the first time. That album is also in my top 5. I was hoping it would be in yours considering you did a cover of it in one of your old videos. Always enjoy watching, Sam!
This is the best type of Samus content. You are awesome.
Really enjoyed this video and it really took me down memory lane. The drumming on Cynic Focus is legendary also.
Metallica is my favorite metal band of all time and Justice is my favorite album of all time. They were my gateway to metal and I’ve never looked back! 🤘🏻
There's definitely a few bands that I got into pretty damn late myself, especially Death, Children of Bodom, as well as Suicide Silence. But I was lucky enough to get into Slipknot's earlier works just before the infamous events happened from Paul Grey's untimely death, up to Joey's departure from the band later on as well. For me, it was kinda like hearing about the shit that Metallica had to put up with in their career, only it was Slipknot going through similar situations in a somewhat reversed order.
man, most of your choices are the same as mine on the hall of my all time favourites albums and dude, your reactions to slayer, slipknot and dimmu borgir were my exact reactions, i was blown away, specially cuz of Nick barker, my face melted listening to the very same album you did, amazing
More videos like this please, you have turned me on to some really incredible bands and amazing drummer's. So please do another video on some more of your favorite bands and albums. Thank you for sharing your interests with us I'm a newborn drummer and I'm still learning the ropes but one day I hope to be as good as you and the legacy's of heavy metal. Keep hitting those skins and being the ambassador of music.
🤟😉👍
The Shape of punk to come is one of the coolest albums I've ever heard from a drumming perspective.
Yesss, Refused has some of the best punk drumming of all time.
Death was a big influence on me growing up drumming. Especially "Flattening Of Emotions" from Their album Human. The drum intro alone still to this day gets me going.
All respect to Hoglan but Human is hands down my favorite Death album.
@@xxxtkvxxx I agree.
RIP Sean Reinert, he was the greatest! Even if you ask Gene Hoglan, he will say so.
This was like going back in time to my own musical journey through high school with my friends. Starting with lower softer rock finding Metallica’s black album, then harder stuff and being like wait what there’s more? And having a couple of friends that always seem to know the best bands and burn you cds. That was Brett and Ben for me. Awesome video man
Awesome vid dude , thanks for sharing!
Felix Griffin on D.R.I.'s Four of a Kind made me know I wanted to be a drummer and not just play the drums. Chris Pennie on Miss Machine by Dillinger Escape Plan made me really start challenging myself.
On Symbolic, the man himself Gene Hoglan drew inspiration from Sean Reinart's legendary drumming on Human. I always loved Gene's drumming on the album, but that made me realise just how good Sean is, and his work with Cynic and other prog projects proves it. Really unique drummer, who captured the essense of prog drumming and carried it beyond.
Heh fun to see you air drumming, enjoying the analyses there
For me I have three albums I always go back to for drums: Hold Your Horse Is by Hella, Hypermagic Mountain by Lightning Bolt and Bullhead by the Melvins. Zach, Chippendale and Dale are three of the greatest drummers alive man
Here in Brazil, when Angra released Temple Of Shadows, EVERY SINGLE DRUMMER get completly shocked. It changed the way that brazilian metal drummers thinks about drumming possibilities. It was a blast at the time. Aquiles is a beast.
Samus - I’m new to your community. Love this Top 10 video, especially the joy you bring. I’m 58 and am just starting to learn about the “metal” world. Thanks for providing the “Cliff Notes” I needed to get started with the explanation.
By the way, really enjoy your personal drumming especially your precision. -Bill G
thank you Bill!!!!
One of your best uploads Sam!! Great video
I couldn’t agree more about the Dimmu album.
I’ve been follow Nick since the early COF days.
On that Dimmu album he hits the musically G spot.
I actually told Nick that when I met him at Tattoo The Planet in 01 haha
Keep up the great work man.
My favourite drumming albums, in no particular order.
Maiden-Seventh Son
Opeth- Blackwater Park
COF- Cruelty and the Beast
Slayer- Reign in Blood
GnR- Illusion 2
I could go on…
I met Nick once when he was a hired gun for a band that toured through our town and my friends opened for them. I told him he should release an instructional DVD about his creative process because of how blown away I was by his drumming in Dimmu. He didn't seem to keen and I was just a drunk twenty something rambling on so I wasn't particularly convincing when I said the world needed that I guess.
@@LordBaktor he said he was going to do more online through the pandemic but it never materialised.
Bro, every single album you cite I also call my main influence…from 1 to 10. Unbelievable. No wonder I love this channel ❤
Excelent video, i knew the most of them and I totally agree whit you.
i was about 12years old and away at a Christian Camp for Easter and one of the other kids had Reign in Blood on cassette tap and he lent me his walkman with it one night and i remember hearing the change part in Altar of Sacrifice "Enter to the realm of Satan" ! It literally made the hairs on my arms stand up with excitment ! i was utterly addicted to this album and that song along with it changing into Jesus Saves for years ... To this day now 45 i remember that momnet like it was yesterday ...
suffocations effigy of the forgotten.the drums on this album,KILLER AS FUCK!my absolut favourite metal drums of all time🤟🏼joey jordison mentioned mike smith as one of his greatest influences in interviews,his drumming was way ahed of the time in 1991.mike smith is a god!
Always great to see some love for Nick Barker, man ❤
i had a pretty similar expericence, and my passion and rejoicement came back last year when discovering FIRST FRAGMENT
Dude I’m not even kidding when I say this, when I heard about joey’s death I actually started to tear. RIP JOEY JORDISON☠️
Same he was such a big inspiration to me
My boss called off work that day and came in the next day hungover af according to him he spent the day getting drunk and jamming to slipknot
Ya know Dyers Eve is one of my favorite Metallica songs. Kinda underrated imo. Lars shines there
Eh he never was able to play it
