Angra is power/progressive or melodoic metal. Glad you finally reacted to him cool reaction.

Aquiles is so underrated, he's frickin' amazing, his footwork is outstanding. His new band is called Hangar, they're pretty good and he uploads their videos on his channel. He also toured as the drummer for DragonForce, check out his cover of Through The Fire And The Flames, he also did that cover on Paiste Cymbals' channel.

@sittaman 3 жыл бұрын

underrated? Aquiles is one of the most successful drummers of our time. Not only a top level, high-skilled drummer but also a very successful businessman, he has his schedule full for months ahead, also he is very requested for artists worldwide. Hell, he even got kicked from Angra because the other guys feared he was bigger than the band itself, since the fans shouted his name more than the band's, given how big his playing and stage presence is. Aquiles is a real monster and in no way he is underrated :)

@ll7868 3 жыл бұрын

@@sittaman I mean underrated as in he doesn't get many reactions or suggestions from viewers. Nicko McBrain, Dave Lombardo and Frankie Banali were big influences on me in the 80s and 90s and I'd like to see more reactions and suggestions to them too. I'm well aware of how good he is.

Had the pleasure of seeing him live a drum festival with Danny Carey from tool. Got to me aquiles that day as well. It was the first time he used this drum kit. It was made for him by mapex for his LA home. It was so cool to chat drums with him that day. He was nervous using it because he didnt have a chance to play it before the actual show. He used a different smaller kit to practice beforehand.

Good to see you back, Garrett. I missed you! If I may, a request. I know it's a long one, but Aric Improta's drum solo, entitled "Blur Lights in the Videodrome", is some of the most amazing drumming I've ever seen in my life. Nothing compares to that solo, if you have the time for it. Even if you just check it out on your own time and don't make a video on it, it's worth the journey.

To be fair i think this album was the peak of all members that recorded it. Nothing that came after was THIS good. Not to say that their work is bad by any means, but everything after is sounding more and more generic to me.

@@kelvinmartins I agree. But, for example, I'm not a fan of their first singer records. But with Rebirth and then this one, they MADE IT, then formation changes, more changes, new singer, new drummer, new drummer, Loureiro leaving... not the same anymore.

Angra is speed metal, power metal is Maiden, Priest etc. Aquiles replaced Frankie Banali (RIP) in WASP in 2019, he recently uploaded a cover of Chainsaw Charlie from The Crimson Idol. WASP is power metal but the drum tracks have been speed speed metal since Frankie joined the band on The Crimson Idol. They work well together.
