Dave is the fucking man I'd love to see him live even if I'm not a fan of Suicidal Tendencies or Misfits

That straight up brought a tear to my eye. I can only imagine the feeling that you had in that moment. My buddy caught one of Danny Carey's drum sticks at the last Tool show and handed it right to me. I went weak in the knees. Dream come true.

Dude. I'm just trying to imagine the epicness of seeing Lombardo and Pete Sandoval on the same night in a likely pretty small venue.

That’s a good fatherly advice.

Kerry King skipped that day at school.

@@gringochucha ahaha is he really? just curious I have never followed him, I have been a metal fan for 20 years but I have not been so much into Slayer! I know I know I know they are great and.....but in Trash Metal I prefer Testament, Exodus, Voivod and many more, Slayer is so simple to my ears, specially Kerry King feels not metal to me! ahaha he is trying ahaha

All great drummers says the same thing. "Never think you have learned everything" _ Joey Jordison.

Must have bunch of valuable drum sticks then.

Like his girlfriend's butt (?)

monokhem .....3rd tier......ST is far from 3rd tier

@monokhem Slayer Fantomas Dead Cross stfuuuuuuuuuuuu

@monokhem ......I think there are many thousands of fans that disagree with your opinion.

You Got That Right!!

The guy is effortless! Smooth as silk when he plays. And so Powerful! I think it's time to crank up some Slayer. 😉

Him and Jeff for sure.

Araya, the dumbest.

@@marioolave6334 How?

@@AS-Stardust Tom Araya ha hecho declaraciones en sus conciertos a favor de Trump, siendo que él y su familia son migrantes chilenos. Un total imbécil.

Yep. Most talented musician in the band too along with Jeff.

I remember worrying about that as a teenager. I couldn't live with myself unless I did 8th notes throughout.

Finally someone has the same opinion! It is goddamn important and without it, it doesn't sound same! I hate when drummer plays classic skank beat the cheapy way .... Ugh, sounds awful 😀

cool man! you clicked your way from Dev to Gene to Dave! That's exactly the way to do it buddy! :-)

@@drumtalkofficial I can't stop watching ; )

Dave has groove - Gene, not so much.

@@dmitryowens Gene is more technical and Dave is more fluid and groovy.

@@arvindshastry1178 That pretty much describes it. Also, Dave has a more unique and recognizable style.

thank you!!! Season 8 is already in the making so no worries :-) regarding the views/subscribers... I guess I got better over the years at making these videos all on my own, but I'm not exactly the best in selling & spreading them -- so it's quite the opposite to the other more popular drumchannel with the same name plus TV

drumtalk yeah, I know of that one but the content quality is incomparable, to be honest: here it's almost like a documentary every time, such a cinematic experience. I guess in one way it's more pleasing that not many people know of such an amazing source - we are the chosen ones who have it all to themselves, haha. But really, marketing and spreading the word is tough in today's reality, even considering the quality and level of the content. Even the most generic bullshit gets millions of views but the quality>quantity. Just work on your social media strategy and start thinking towards spreading the word by all means, I'm sure people will support. I will, for sure

Yup. Best drum interviews out there imho

thank you so much Yanus!

It will grow naturally as more people discover the channel. I agree the content is second to none, absolutely brilliant interviews!

RIP Jeff

Completely agree. It's hard to have good compatibility among such awesome musicians and I certainly don't blame any side over the other but I ha e to say that you are dead on correct about the Dave era and they cant deny themselves what they had with him!

Unfortunately Kerry's over inflated ego was as big as his inability to play guitar

Agreed

Saw that OG line up in Toronto in 2006. Never saw them after Dave left.

Amazing album... underrated as fuck!

That album is great

@@tferreira EXACTLY

Thanks for reminding me. I have to download that

And his own work with Grip. INC was awesome!

Yeah bro..me too..sat right in front of dave stage right. Also saw them at a record store,so close i reached out and shook daves hand.

He was very good, but Hoglan and Benante were around at the same time, and they both were and are more skilled.

hey man, thank you! it's impossible for me to do more work these days but I guess there's enough stuff to binge watch on this channel... finger crossed I can do more in the future....

@@drumtalkofficial Thanks for the reply! Haha fingers crossed indeed, have a blessed weekend!

The give 0 fucks what he is doing

Dave was always leaps and bounds a better musician than the rest of the guys in slayer. His drumming, was what attracted me to the band in the first place. As far back as 1983. And I'm a guitarist. His drumming, spoke to me, on a different level, outside of the bands gimmicks. I find him extremely talented, and love the fact that he has continued on with his craft, while evolving as a musician.

@@timothya.olmeda7299 - I am a guitarist as well and I totally agree with you about Lombardo being the best musician in Slayer. As a guitar player for the last 26 years, I feel comfortably saying that neither Kerry King or Jeff Hanneman are/were exceptional guitar players. They are both really good rhythm players and riff/song writers, but their leads have always been complete messes. When Gary Holt took over for Jeff, I immediately felt bad for him having to play Jeff's leads and solos. They are all over the place. Just noise. Holt is a much better player than Hannenman was. But Lombardo on the other hand, is actually a very talented musician. He knows and understands what he is doing. In my opinion, they really messed up with the situation with him. They didn't appreciate who and what they had behind the drums. While Bostaph is a great drummer, you can hear a difference without Dave. It is very similar to when Phil Rudd left ACDC .While they had hit songs with Chris Slade and Simon Wright behind the kit, there was a very, very noticable difference in the playing. The only way I can think to explain it is to say that the groove way missing. Non-musicians do not understand Phil Rudd. The guy is absolutely phenomenal. The guy is a human metronome.

Michael R. It took me quite awhile to understand their approach on their lead guitar work throughout their career (total exaggerated chaos), but I agree with you. Phil Rudd truly is solid and not many can do what he does. He taught me how to keep time, and apparently better than those who didn't learn from listening, practicing, along with his beat. Hal Blaine, who passed away this week, was another drummer, who stood out among the many. Truly a legend, whose drumming moved the world.

SFCISME I mean, Slayer are still by far the best band he's been in.

He had to have been influenced by Felix Griffin,DRI. Listen to Dealing with it 1985 He loved the punk energy and speed

Nathan Williams yes slayer is essentially extreme punk because of Dave and Jeff

@@teamatfort444 They both listened to The Exploited, DK's and such. My friend Mike and Brad by sheer coincidence saw Slayer around 83 at a place called "Radio City". We were all punks and when I heard Slayer I was shocked.................My two friends met Dave because they were like "punks like us"? And through them I met Dave. I sort of knew who he/slayer were. I just thought he was a really cool guy and fun to hang out with. Once "Hell Awaits" took off I never saw him again. His drumming influenced me heavily back then. Check out "Final Conflict Ashes to Ashes" and you'll hear a 20 year old me doing my best Lombardo wannabe licks! /

@@dirtydave2691 that's tight you were in Final Conflict, man. I was in one of the OG crossover/thrash bands from back then, Radiation Sickness. We had a reunion in 2010, banged out some fresh deathy thrash and reissued oldies and finally disbanded for good in 2015. Super cool to see you guys had reissues for Ashes to Ashes!

Hardly

He is super necessary getting slayer to that point of chaos I love them for. I have seen them many times origial line up. I won't see them without Lombardo or Hanneman. I'm good. Note: I am glad people still go watch them.

Not really but he's definitely an essential part of what made them who they are.

NO

@@doom-mantia Partly; yes!

you're welcome! enjoy!

Thanks, GG Allin!!!

that's very kind of you Nathan, thanks a bunch for the nice words! much appretiated ;-)

thxalot buddy!!!

Yes! Like Jeopardy followed by Wheel of Fortune. :)

thanks mate!! agree, Dave's a really nice fella

That would be nice if they could interview Mike Smith, Pete Sandoval, the guy from Defeated Sanity or that nutcase of a drummer/vocalist from Autopsy (Christ Reifert)
