Geez, there's so much discord between metal listeners these days. We just all need to get together and have a good time. Listen to the music you like, and don't listen to the music you don't like. Enough of the negative egotism.
Somehow, they don't appear to me as if they're having fun. Although they are very good musicians and technically great, I think their music lacks a certain feel and groove...
im a huge fan of alice in chains and know nothing of dream theater except that they are one of the many greatest bands out there, along with others but to this video all i have to say is.......right on.
"Screwing around" is a very nice word for it. Dude. Even sober sound guys know that if you're going to sound check you might as well play...SOMETHING right!. but hey now, those rough assed drag rolls are pretty skippy. lol
Not really. They are indeed good drummers, but no one is like Peart. He's theonly drummer I know of who can play any style thrown at him. That's what makes him the best.
Morgan Ågren would also like a word with you. So would Martin Axenrot, Tomas Haake, Martin Lopez, Blake Richardson, Chris Pennie, Inferno, Hellhammer, Vitek, Chris Adler, and Mario Duplantier.
It's a SOUNDCHECK, stupid. It's NOT SUPPOSED to sound like they're playing a full concert for the President or anything. READ THE FUCKING TITLE AND DESCRIPTION, you fucking retard.
It's a spur of the moment sound check you fuckwads. Kinda like "test 1..2.." - but what musicians would do- start playing AiC. Chill the fuck out. I think everyone likes the classics like "Would?"
Was in James La Brie in the shower or something when they did this? LOL I'd love to hear some vocals, personally I'd prefer Portnoy to do Layne's vocals, as he can get pretty low. LaBrie could probably handle Jerry Cantrell's vocals...
so, i suppose YOU can play 40 min songs with 200 rhyhthm changes and irregular tempos on a drumset with like thousands of parts, while singing and being funny.
Cuz by saying that you're automaticly saying you're better than him.
@ltbielski Whatever troll. Just go back to living your privileged suburban life and fap off to anime porn, or what ever you 12 year old kids do these day's.
yeah, punctuation - we learn here in lousy Czech rep that this thing helps to give a meaning to a sentence - so who´s retard - me or dt? look, i don´t care about dt but i was lookin for aic videos and the third or fourth result was THIS, so it made me a little upset, right? Faggot is your signature? nice, it´s one of my favourite devil character from Bulgakov.
acason4 your telling me that neil peart isnt anywhere near the skill level of those guys dude man peart is the best you have no idea of what you are talking about give your a head a shake
you are a moron. Dreamtheater are awesome. I prefer AiC but you are looking at the best drummer in the world by a long shot and 1 of the top 5 guitarists.
are you kidding? you could easily put a million drummers ahead of this chump. john bonham, keith moon, dave lombardo, ginger baker, buddy rich, nicko mcbrain, and the best drummer ever neil peart.
Huh??From a "technical" = CHOPS standpoint Portnoy is far better than Bonham, Moon, Lombardo, McBrain & yes even Peart!!Don't get me wrong all those guys r great drummers & yeah Rich & Baker r certainly ELITE but if you're gonna bring up drummers u may want to mention: Vinnie Colauita, Dennis Chambers, Danny Carey, Terry Bozio, Steve Smith, Bill Bruford, Carter Beauford, Tomas Haake, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham & many more!!! Peart isn't anywhere near the skill level as ANY of those guys!
but then again...think all the songs that made metallica what we all know...without his contribution...and his "unorthodox" drum chops...and reconsider...
the possibilities of metallica's sound being better are just the same as being worse with a technicaly superior drummer than lars...
besides,he's the 1/2 of metallica...not now,but since always...:)
You amuse me. He is by far the greatest drummer (Neil Pert). Now favorites obviously come into play but as far as the best, most talented, and the most technical he takes the trophy.
But since you disagree you must be able to do better. Dumbass.
@roji556 I disagree alot. Jordinson of slipknot. The late REV of A7X. Sean Kinney of AIC. Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. Dave Grohl of Foo fighter and Nirvana. ALl better Drummers.
If some band played a song for another, to me that's so cool... even if the song or the performance was not that good... but to actually be able to extent your influences and style of music into different levels is the main thing about being a musician...
