marcus gilmore truly is making his own path and carrying on the traditions of his grandfather Roy Haynes. Long live the Haynes legacy.

the best trio out there in my opinion

[55vida]

I love this group. Marcu Gilmore brings an element of surprise to music. He's really tight with the bass which you can clearly hear at around 4:25 and after. He's tight with the bass all the way through it's just more apparent at 4:25. Everything fits and the group is really tight without sounding analytical at all.

@Teebs88 No. You aren't supposed to revere and…. You are entitled to your opinion. My opinion was similar years ago. I started with John Bonham and Bill Ward as influences, but as I was introduced to this music through the back door via Mahavishnu and Return to Forever, then into Tony Williams/Elvin and further into the newer guys Brian Blade/Ari Hoenig/TyshwawnSorrey/etc. my mind opened more and more to what is happening here in this video. Obviously though, follow your heart.

[Teebs88]

@Teebs88 respect madness. I also don't happen to like Primus... because of the way they make me feel... which is like i'm trying way too hard to listen to what's going on... when you hear and old Zeppelin record or Black Sabbath record it's not hard to get... and the feeling is strong.

Say what you all want... but it'd be better to describe the feeling you get/point of this song than just tell me what I know/don't know.

[Teebs88]

@simasuma I like to think I have a MUCH healthier understanding of music than the average listener. I also have a pretty hard line stance on what I like and i'm not against music like this... I just think there are greater songwriters out there in my opinion. Stuff that can stick with you a little more... the underlying grooves int he song where they are kicking it and have planned out something sound pretty solid... but sometimes it's just dissonance... and I guess you're supposed revere and

@Teebs88 If you actually continue studying music to the fullest of your abilities, you should eventually get to a point where you can appreciate this. You might still not like it, but if you knew what they were accomplishing here you could at least appreciate it.

@Teebs88 nice trolling

[pettrucciisgod]

@Teebs88 You are a doofus.

[Teebs88]

@plastiksporc pure metal is definitely a genre... which Lamb of God fall into. I don't think thw variety of music is the issue... its the lack of a tangible train of thought in the music.

[plastiksporc]

@Teebs88 yeah, you just haven't had enough musical variety in your life yet.

there is nothing such as "pure metal" or rock, both are broken up into countless sub genres

you just need to get out there and discover more music, expand your musical vocabulary. check out some classical music, different more accessible sub genres of jazz, electronic music and anything else that you can get your hands on. try to understand and appreciate these.

then in a year or so come back here and listen again.
