I'm sure 95% of PLC ticket sales, album sales? and Youtube views are largely thanks to TOOL and Danny Carey...Their songs are third rate, their vocalist is shit, guitarists average. Danny is the only thing that lends this band any credibility.
KING CRIMSON tribute band THE GREAT DECEIVERS are playing on Saturday, July 17th, 2010 @ the Good Hurt club in West Los Angeles!!! Find them on myspace and/or Facebook to send them your name and email address to get in for FREE!!!
bill bruford wasnt playing on the courtt of the crimsons king its michael giles!and this singger is a growler not greg lake ,and one of the greatest,in my opinion
most ppl that hate have never been to a pigmy show. it's a very rare thing and i was lucky enough to be at the key club last year and they kick major ass. this is danny just having fun while playing. and for the record, they are masters at controlling the energy of a song. they end them at a climax and you are left hanging high up in the ether. if you have a chance to go to them. do it. they are amazing. they put on a great show,
not bad. I think these guys are pretty tight, they do some good stuff with the stops and dynamics. The singer is kinda weak though. They should have gotten Henry Rollins to do this.
@bkchickfarmer91 Really? He really nails all the fills and the tricky polyrhythms in the song...i don't see much wrong with what he did. The cover is meant to be a little harder than the original recording, so his playing reflects that.
why do people hate on this band and the singer? ok yeah tool is way better and the only reason why i listen to is bc danny is in it but come one-they play a different type of music than tool-everyone knows, or should know, that no one can touch tool but that doesnt mean this band sucks-by the way VOLTO does kick ass i like it better than pygmy personally
Why all the comparisons? No Jones or MJK? John Ziegler would smoke Jones on the guitar ,no questions. Two totally different guitarists, both amazing in their own respect.
I stood next to danny carey in a bass pro shop in iowa before a tool show. It was just me and him but i was too nervous to say anything!! He's my god. Sweet song, awesome this band covered it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In his senior year of high school in Paola, Kansas, Carey joined the high school jazz band and began to study under a new teacher specifically for jazz drumming training.
Carey also played jazz while attending college and got to experience the jazz scene in Kansas City.
danny carey is one of the most powerful drummers on this days, i been there when he hits his Gong and damn!! actualy all he hits is pure power, but hate the singer of this band, he's baaaaad.
the rest of the song is cool.
i say , it's a cover. no the exactly copy of the original song, cover is not the same that copy.
Yes, and GOOD progressive drummers could play this stuff well, I have seen a dozen covers of this song, and this is probably one of the worst, they change the main verse, and don't try to play the main solo or even replace it. The original song is good, but this is a mediocre cover if you ask me, but at least they play a recent rendition of Mirrors.
I didn't think this needed to be pointed out, but folks, this aint jazz. It's just good ol' progressive rock. Oh, this aint bebop, gospel, or funk either. You can find phenomenal drummers in those styles of music too! Why don't you just argue about which is the best color, flavor, or texture?!
Have you ever seen him play jazz? NO! Don't talk about his jazz skill until you've seen it. For all you know he's better than cozy cole and buddy rich combined.
just search tomas haake and dick lovgren drum and bass solo on youtube... that is all that needs said. some of the best feet in the game along with danny carey...
@absolutehail its funny you should mention that because if you had done your Danny research you would have discovered that Danny started in jazz and that is what his grooves are predominately based upon. I'm sure you knew that though right?
@skinsandsticks he took it in college right? but only if you are a fan of jazz and jazz drumming, at times you can definitely hear it protrude through tool's songs
@skinsandsticks he took it in college right? but only if you are a fan of jazz and jazz drumming you would be able, at times, hear it protrude through tool's songs
But he is not really that good, he is not very precise and his beats are too strong. Have you ever seen a jazz drummer? Or even a good progressive drummer with various gongs, timpanis and tuned percussion? Or even a percussionist? Probably most of you don't, so stop praising or attacking any rock drummer.
I never new that Danny could play progressive stuff until this video. Sure TOOL is great and PLC/VOLTO!, but this video shows a different side of Danny's ability. Truly one of the greatest drummers of all time, despite what others on this board might say. For all the haters...are you on a cover of DRUM magazine?
The version is merely okay, they remove some of my favourite parts, and the singer changes the main verse, but it sounds cool. Danny Carey does a good work in the drums, but he play with too much force.
I think someone needs to calm down.I hope you know how to play drums BETTER then Danny Carey.Saying he is a mediocre drummer shows how little you know about drumming.Danny carey could tear your ass apart.Bill Bruford is just as amazing.Post a vid of you playing a cover of this same song and then we will see if you're any good.
NO! FUCK YOU! YOU know nothing about drumming, what do you think about that?! Face the facts, Danny Carey can't play the drums worth crap. Bill Bruford on the other hand, could hand Danny his ass with one hand tied behind his back.
