An excellent live performance of Avon by Queens of the Stone Age from the 2001 Bizarre festival.

all these arguments about who the best qotsa drummer is are just stupid. from alfredo hernandez through to joey they've all been great and suited each album perfectly

Hello commenters of the past! I'm here to declare that the newest QOTSA drummer, Jon Theodore, takes the spot as the best QOTSA drummer!
@Tyrannosaurine8 жыл бұрын
Hello commenter of the recent past. "Best" is fairly subjective. As far as technical ability, chops, etc...Jon Theodore probably is the most technically gifted drummer Queens has had. Dave obviously had a vitality and an energy that few drummers in the world can match. While Joey was no slouch, his time keeping (always speeding up!!!) left much to be desired, and personally I think his playing was a bit too heavy handed to pull off anything with any groove. Alfredo, in my opinion, could groove better than any drummer in qotsa's history, and his groove oriented and unwavering playing style meshed perfectly with early queen's more groovy, repetitive, heavy "robot rock" sound at the time. Gene was a fantastic live drummer and the songs he played on Rated R certainly don't suffer for it. He wasn't as groovy, thunderous, or technically sound as some of the others, but he had a tendency toward genuinely "catchy" drum parts (people forget the drum beats to "go with the flow", "millionaire", "parasol", and "feel good hit" are his work). Finally, Nick Lucero drummed some on Rated R and deserves credit, if for nothing else than managing to wrangle in the insanity of "Leg of Lamb", "Headache", etc. These songs are NOT your average 4/4 straight ahead rock songs with a poppy backbeat. Personally I enjoy Alfredo's drumming the most, but Jon Theodore is undoubtedly a fantastic drummer.

+Justin Vavala And to add since I can't edit on mobile: I still can't get over Alfredos playing on the Self-Titled album, it's just so catchy and blends with the guitars so well. Josh once said he had an idea on the beats for the album but couldn't do them himself since he said he wasn't good enough. Glad he got Alfredo on board.

Joey was perfect drummer for every era of the band he was in. When he was first hired, the band was at its hardest, leanest, and fastest, and Joey was obviously the only monster for the job. He was on the same wavelength as Nick and Josh, raised on hardcore, worshipped Black Flag, and not only musically matured by Danzig- he was IN Danzig. On Lullabies to Paralyze, he totally reinvented his playing, made it smarter, more clever and tasteful, but kept the energy for a band in it's prime. For Era Vulgaris, he became the quintessential mechanical gorilla for the reinterpretation of robot rock. Again, adding exciting inventive techniques and grooves, always moving forward. You can't pigeon hole the dude, it's not just punk rock and metal, it's hip hop and funk and disco. The guy came up with the parts for Covered in Punks' Blood and Make It Wit Chu in the same session. Another thing people misunderstand: The guy didn't rush. The band circa 2003-2008 wanted almost everything faster. That is coming from Josh. It brought up the energy. Again, punk rock mentality. Some songs do sound like crap rushed, like Avon, I'll give you that, but the majority sounded more energetic live. But I'd take rushed over dragged any day anyway. And he had the best drum sound for the band. Listen to ...Like Clockwork. The songs he played on sounded the best, because years of experimenting with Hutch gave him the best place in the mix for the guitar style the go for. Dry, heavy, big, thick drums. Think Frank Beard in ZZ Top, or all those 70s Funk and Punk records. Dry as a bone. Josh likes it that way.

+Carlo Von Sexron Nice reply, answered a few questions I had about Joey. Though I appreciate what he brought into the band, I still think speeding up songs was a bad idea, be it Josh's or Joey's. I can take simpler and more straightforward songs like Gonna Leave You and Regular John with a faster tempo but not something like Someone's in the Wolf, Song for the Deaf or Mexicola, they lose the monster groove that they have if you speed them up too much, and they just don't have the same impact they would have with normal speed. Something like the Montreux 2005 gig is something I really enjoy though, and the speeding doesn't catch my attention for some reason. On another note, and I've been wondering this for a while now, who are you? I'm just really curious, I always see you laying down the facts on pretty much anything QotSA and co. related and I overall agree with your points most of the time and like your reasoning.
