Chris Adler/Lamb of God/Nashville, TN Part 5

[1337DrummerNate]

thats such a tiny lil mistake u bearly notice lol. besides. Good musicians arent perfectionists cus perfectionists r NERDS lol

[dyingmanifesto]

ano ka nido?

[letsago0]

Everyone's just bitching about Chris getting off time when he has to do a 7 stroke roll at 200+ bpm!!! I can't do that, and I'm betting most of you can't either. Besides, he's out there and you're at home at your computer, you have no room to talk. Chris is amazing!!!! \,,/ -_- \,,/

[Kudblythe3]

@letsago0 i was able to do that. then i broke my ankle and that has built tissue around the joint so i cant do the fast stuff anymore. it takes a long time to get it down.

[billy6192k7]

no mistakes in my eyes. he hit everything perfect, so if anyone says he did make a mistake your a dum ass cause he knows how to play his own song :)

[XDrUmErBoY512X]

hbu try playing 100 shows a year throughout the world... and try hitting that lick everytime.. bunch of fucktarts.

chris!!! you are the BEST!

[slipknot789able]

i didnt hear a mistake and if he did make a mistake so what who gives a shit the guy is probably tired because this song was the 2nd to last song

[Frommerhold]

I want you to get on that stage in front of how many people there may be and play this shit just like it is on the record, that's impossible!

[TheJreggs]

Did Randy start that chant at the start to help Chris out? That's very cool if so.

[IronCobraKid]

@TheJreggs True musician if he did.

[TheJreggs]

@IronCobraKid Totally

[TheDrumPirate]

it's cool, the mistake he makes in the beginning is the same one i always make with such bassdrum parts. because my feet have to move so fast at once, my hands speed up a little to. not that i even come close to adler but anyway. like the others sad, mistakes are human

[thomassmith18]

I think it was pretty cool that the singer didn't call him out in front of everyone on an honest human mistake. I have heard of one person doing that(forget the band name). Wasn't cool, though.

[gizmosr]

its nice to know that even my hero's are human!!! does not make me feel so bad when i mess up playin live LOL!!!

[genaschtes]

the god that failed - DAMN who cares? he is one of the best.

[lovejon2death]

what the fuck happened in the intro?!

[josedistant]

I think the mistake is more of not being right with the metronome than a "skill" error, you can see him starting the metronome in the beginning and then looking at it in the intro beat as thinking "holy shit I missed one beat so I need to start the first verse right or I will fuck up the whole song" so that's why he checked into the metronome and volume a lot..in a show like this is easy to not hear properly the metronome or the PA so it's difficult to recover from failures, so cheers mr. Adler!

[dtlaiho]

It's not the fact that he made a mistake, it's the fact that he recovered from it like nothing happened in front of thousands of people.

[samyfernandez]

what bpm is this song after the intro? if anyone knows :)

[Teluob31]

@samyfernandez it's 135bpm

[samyfernandez]

@Teluob31 thanks bro

[DaltonDrums]

Lame camera angle.

[Blasphemer99]

yea mistakes will be made but thats ridiculous. such a basic beat and it sucks cause he's got such a sick style

[samyfernandez]

for god sake! we ALL are humans, we ALL make mistakes, our whole life is full of mistakes, so can we just enjoy one of the most talented drummers out there nowadays? who cares if he made a mistake? just get over it! yes, its true, he has a great reputation. That DOESNT mean that he cant make mistakes

[omri538]

@samyfernandez i think you'r right!

we all realy humens and all of uss made misstakes hundreds of times when we playing..

still...i reaally love this drummer'he is one of the best drummer in this world!@#$

[LambOfGodRapesIcp]

he still would kick anyones ass in a drum battle haha

[roady05]

Don't worry chris - your real fans are here to support you. Get some hard practicing done and you'll be back on normal form in no time.

[maxxdaviespart2]

Christ, his timing is terrible!

[thispagesux]

i tried the adler 12" snare and thought it sounded horrible. they make it sound good in the albums because they use good engineers to get the right sound but without the studio trickery it sounds crap.

[SpartanCarver]

@thispagesux It sounds pretty sick right now and it's live being recorded through a shitty camera mic. I've seen them live and his snare sounded just like it does in the studio.

The one you tried must have been tuned poorly.

[secondfish]

@thispagesux disagree.. i like the sound anyway. short and snappy

[chocol8muffins]

sick

[omertia]

My computer fucks up more than Chris Adler

[SpartanCarver]

Wow, dude makes one screw up in one show and everyone flocks to put him down...guess he really intimidates some people ;] It's okay kids, go back to your Jonas Brothers and other "music".

[mrTooKanSam]

Hey Chris how about some technique, anyone?, Nope. Just Doubles bass and 32nd notes on the toms,*Waits for metal heads to defend their drumhero*

[JustinShadows]

Yeah, that's all he plays. Way to pay attention. You're a stupid faggot, go hang yourself for being a moron. I'm sure your favorite drummers are way better. I like how you go to a video and knock the guy. GO OUTSIDE YOU WEIRDO! You obviously haven't listened to much of his music.

[mrTooKanSam]

Haha! I have a life, I saw this on my suggested videos, excuse me for offending your "god".

[JustinShadows]

Who said he is my "god". If you saw it on your suggested videos, I'm sure you knew what it was. You obviously haven't listened to anything else of his if you think that is how he drums. He is famous for breaking away from traditional metal drumming. Listen to Descending.

[CkSandwich]

Don't worry about his minor mess-ups.

It's Nashville(Country music Capital of the World!)  They didn't even catch it!

It's metal, cupcake.

[BenDrew420]

cant be perfect all the time mother fuckers.....get over it!

[samyfernandez]

what minute he failed?

[paucceri]

i don't think you can fuck up like he did in the beginning, and later on in the song, and be considered as good as this guy is considered. that said, hes a great drummer.

[jobencore]

@Jordan19922444

I agree with you 100%

@pauccerti

All drummers fuck up....even the best....watched a video of George Kollias dropping a stick when doing a clinic. Just saw a video yesterday of danny carey dropping a stick while playing rosetta stoned. Even the best of the best make mistakes.

We all have our good and bad days.

[paucceri]

@jobencore Yeah, I know, everyone fucks up. I know that. But I've seen this guy fuck up more than his fair share considering his reputation.

[JustinShadows]

No you haven't, trust me. You are just saying that to knock him. Outplay him then talk.

[JustinShadows]

Yeah, good call. No one messes up twice a song but shitty drummers. All the greats never mess up a song more than once. Hahaha.

[paucceri]

@JustinShadows a drummer of his reputation shouldn't be messing up like that. his timekeeping also sucks. I don't have to outplay him to criticise him, that's probably the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

[JustinShadows]

His timekeeping sucks, or sucked just then. Of all the things you've ever heard, that's the dumbest? That is pretty dumb itself.

[paucceri]

@JustinShadows the fact is that timekeeping shouldn't be an issue. PS fine sidestepping of the actual substance of my last post.

[JustinShadows]

I didn't sidestep. His timekeeping sucked in that one instance. Regardless of reputation and skill ALL percussionists fuck up. The second slip up probably came from the mental scrambling he was probably doing because his confidence was bruised from the first fuck up. You have to also consider he didn't have professional training like most well renowned drummers. He also is a lefty playing on a righty set up. There are many factors to consider when it comes to performing, especially drums.

[paucceri]

@JustinShadows the point is, his timekeeping in this vid is amateurish. i'm not going into any possible reasons because 1. i can't say anything about them, and 2. it doesn't matter. also, if his being a lefty were an issue i'm sure he could just swap his kit's handedness around. I'm pretty sure he gets to decide that for himself ;) Adler is a very good drummer, but i just don't think he can stand behind his reputation. which isn't even his fault.

[xBadOmen]

@paucceri I think Chris Adler can stand behind his reputation because we all make mistakes..... Especially drummers who play whole Lamb Of God sets EVERY NIGHT on tour and makes mistakes from being tired from all that..... and the fact that error is just a part of being a human if you havent noticed. Neil Peart makes mistakes but no one says anything about that.

[doublebassdrummer1]

somehow i doubt the audience caught the fuck up in the beginning:P

[Drunkwraith]

its probably muscle dude. His arms looked pretty cut in the most recent footage ive seen, and he talked about startin work out on th walk with me in hell dvd.

[twinsburgdrummer09]

nice! looks like he put on some weight but he still kicks ass

[patdrums9]

mett him yesterday!such a nice guy

[outfallboy]

Its ok to make mistakes chris ur still my no.1

[Jordan19922444]

hey fucked up at the start but pulled through - he is mortal so who cares if he makes a mistake hes an epic drummer

[o0metalrecords0o]

the polayed before metallica on that evening look at the coffins on the ceiling!!

[joshmacisaac18]

ah shit its chris adler. HE pulled through his fuck up

[metalover2]

hes probably thinking about his baby girl back home. thats why he messed up.

[metalover2]

Chris was not on his game at the start.

[TobbeDrum]

he failed in the beggining

[Drumtome]

I'm seeing these fuckers live with Metallica on November 3rd BIATCHES! :)

[burythebody666]

lol he made the opening so hard he barley has the timing down for it , awesome stuff though

[FatalGForce]

lol, no name, but thats Lamb of God, great song - awesome drummer

[nickthedick135]

Dude how'd you get this angle???!?!?!

[petitgarcondebatteur]

i definatly was a lil worried at the beginning or the song but he makes up for it later :P

[Pandanobear]

2:58 is.............. well..........0_o

[jordison215]

love adler

[LowLifeLuke]

aweeeeesome vid

i love Redneck!

and Adler

[Blindvisions1]

I thought Adler was with sabian...?

[Sullivanandfreinds]

nope. hes been with Meinl for a long time. he used to play Ziljian but not anymore,.

[rjthegolfer93]

gotta love Meinl cymbals!

[MINIWHEAT70]

Yep..

He used A Customs and had a classic Zildjian ride with a great tone. If you hear it on the BTP stuff, and New American Gospel, you'll fall in love with it.

There's some thing on the internet inwhich its like "Chris gave me his old Meinl and Zildjian cymbals" and whatnot.

I can't believe that lie...

[metalrulez11]

AMAZING!
