#DaveLombardo #Metallica #Battery
Oh! As some have pointed out. I HAVE heard Dave Lombardo prior to this!
'War Inside My Head' | ruclips.net/video/3wupFmxHAys/видео.html
Andrew listen ''Hostage to Heaven'' by Grip Inc.ruclips.net/video/c_xxabnLqZc/видео.html Its Lombardo's band and this track is his top! This is what i call ''Thrash Metal Drumming Seminar Track''. Pleaseee make a reaction video. Greetings from Greece/Hellas!
Top tip, before doing a reaction on someone search for their name on your own channel 😁 - Fun pokes aside - love the channel, great stuff! 👍 - while I'm here, one stand out drummer who amazed was Terry Bozzio when I first saw him in 2002! - He's one of RUclips's least understood drummers it seems so it'd be cool to get a professional drummers view on him! - Djondon is pretty cool - alas split into two short parts on RUclips!
There is also a live drum cam of Dave Lombardo playing Slayer's Angel of Death. The song is a fast one (for 1986) but he looks all laid back and comfy. He even shows off a little. ruclips.net/video/ManyDSIC8fQ/видео.html
Catch Dave with Mr Bungle! They have live stuff from last year on here that’s just killer!!! Mike Patton is crazy good vocals and there’s even one of the dudes from Pantera on guitar. See if you can find the blooper, lol!!! Dave misses a fill one time and Mike just lost it 😆
ruclips.net/video/ManyDSIC8fQ/видео.html . . Dave cam on angel of death . Slayer 🤘
Dave Lombardo is a beast!! He's an old school punk rock fan and you can def hear it in his style. That drumming style is what gave Slayer their sound and why they sounded like no one else.
Modern Metal drummers ( and even late era Punk drummers) no longer employ a proper D-Beat. Between the technique evolving into a blast beat and the fact that triggers cannot pick up on "ghost" notes involved we may never hear it again.
@@Guppusmaximus
Modern metal drummers are lame.
He really is a punk drummer that can throw in some double bass when he wants. It’s crazy how good he fits and sounds in ST. It’s his element for sure.
Exactly he is a beast nobody like him the power and the rolls and double bass are jus mad.
They strait lifted their sound from Metallica.
Now that's what I call a "RECHARGED BATTERY".. 😁 .. he's hittin' so hard it's like "ASSAULT AND BATTERY" - 😉 -
...
James at 11:28 "I'm tellin' ya we feel better than ever!" ...... yeah, I wonder why! 🤔
Probably said that in almost every gig that year.
Metallica never sounded better!
Lombardo is my all time favorite metal drummer. His drumming on the South of heaven-album is outstanding. It doesn't sound like any other thrash metal drummer I've heard.
As much I love single bass by Nicko Mcbrain, totally agree with you. Best metal drummer ever!
You can tell by James’ attitude, smile and the way he looked at the other band members, this was something I’m sure he’d imagined a hundred times - Metallica with Dave Lombardo on the drum throne. As important as Lars is to Metallica, particularly with the business and arranging the songs, he hasn’t been practicing his drumming since probably the late ‘80’s. You can tell by the way he effortlessly pummelled the double bass parts at the end that Dave, who is the same age, give or take as Lars, pounds like he did in the 80’s, and probably better.
I’m sure there is a world where Lars still does his arranging, business stuff, maybe even records, but Dave Lombardo plays live. Dyers Eve as it’s meant to be played!
ruclips.net/video/-E1OhrLhKL8/видео.html
That is a tight performance, and I like that Lars does the breakdown flams, but it’s not the sheer ‘80’s pummel that Dave Lombardo did, or like Lars did back then:
ruclips.net/video/_yHJBDeshPA/видео.html
First off, Love Lars. He is the Ace Frehley of drums....technically not great but influenced a whole generation of players. That said, it is no secret that Lombardo is a significantly better drummer than Lars technically speaking. There has to be a massive part of James that realized how much better this "feels" to play with Lombardo (even unrehearsed and not completely knowing the song). For James to finally be able to follow the drummer and trust that tempo and transitions will be perfect. As a guitarist who has played with good and bad drummers, I know from experience that this is not a small thing at all. Again, love Lars but damn....it's hard to not wonder, what if????
After The Black album id erase everything if you tell me that they will record one album with Dave or play live with Dave,i respect Lars and like his drumming on the older stuff ..but now i think its just inner respect that makes him stay
Yeah, I think any talented drummer would do for James to be honest, but Lars has got that band by the balls. They're stuck with him.
The intro is Lars on drums because it's from the album. You can tell when the band kicks in when the guitar comes in louder with the fast galloping part.
I was at the show, it was the Download festival in the UK, Lars was ill and they decided to do the show regardless as Metallica was headlining and there was a massive crowd. Dave, Joey and Lars' drum tech each played a couple of songs. It was by far the best Metallica gig I've ever been to. They only delayed the start of the set by about about an hour while all the stand in drummers were rehearsing back stage before it kicked off.
Awesome Marius. Thanks 🙏
Me too. I loved Joey playing Creeping Death.
I was there too my first download festival of many .. my friend was a huge metallica fan and Lars was his favorite drummer .. so he was ecstatic and gutted at the same time 😅
That's epic. I could see the lack of practicing. But Metallica couldn't hang with Lombardo Flat out
Dave Lombardo is one of the best speed drummers ever that was a privilege for James hetfield to get to play with him. Some of that stuff he does during that song Lars couldn't even touch it.
Some of the stuff? Dave is a professional drummer - Lars is no better than I am!
Dave one of the few drummers on the planet that has to slow down to play Metallica stuff :D
You should check out Eugene Rybachenko (last name may be misspelled) covering Lux Æterna.
The night that Lars almost got fired...
HAHAHA! I was just looking to see if someone else said it....LOL
Good thing he's a founding member...he'd probably not have a job when he came back LOL...
(apparently being a founding member doesn't always mean anything RIP JJ)
You're not wrong about these guys having fun playing with Metallica. But you are under-estimating how much fun Metallica is having playing with these guys. Not trying to be a jerk, but both are major upgrades over Lars. And in Dave's case, just as accomplished as Metallica, at least within the metal community. If there's one thing Slayer had a clear advantage of over Metallica, it was drumming. Lombardo is on the mount Rushmore of metal drummers. Can't wait till you cover more of him. Here's my suggestion: "Hostage to Heaven", by his post Slayer band, Grip Inc.
I'm sorry to say this but Lars can't hold a candle to Dave Lombardo he is so much superior to Lars period end of story listen to some slayer reign in blood their early stuff..
Not being a jerk. I was honestly sitting here thinking, wait, does the original sound this good?
In addition to all this, and in Lars' defense, I guess you could say, he sounds A LOT better now than he has in probably my lifetime. They've slowed things down, might even be playing to a click now? Either, you can tell that Lars spent the pandemic actually practicing drums, and the band is sounding loads better because of it.
The first 4 albums would like a word... Lars arranged all the music and is the buisness mind... That's where their #1
@@fastfiddler1625 I'd hate to say the original probably didn't sound this good! All be it was good for it's time when it came out but compared to Slayer there are no comparison!
Andy, fun fact for you. instrumental intro is played from the original CD, so that's why you've propably heared this Lars vibe :D
oh yes ! it shows so much....and the sound difference after the intro production/capture wise proves it !
"Is this part of the song?", no, but it should be! Dave Lombardo put some Slayervibes into this... But the twinkick blasts are so fast an sick...
Killed it! 🔥
It’s part of a song, there’s a drum break before the 3rd pre chorus
@@WishMount not in this speed or ferocity...
Please do Slayer 'War Ensemble' live in sofia 2010... one of the last shows with Jeff Hanneman ( and the original lineup w/ Dave Lombardo) whom to many was the soul of Slayer.
He passed away in 2013 at age 49.
I Agree, probably the best live version of WAR ENSEMBLE!!
Yup I'm on it!
Ohhhhhhhhhh that was a pretty good video. I forgot about that one.
Really insane double bass he does that he goes on forever
Dave Lombardo is a beast, especially his stuff with Suicidal Tendencies, there are some crazy good videos of him playing ST songs on RUclips
i dont hate Metallica, im just disappointed in Lars lack of respect, lack of interest, for what he does. he may write, he may rehearse, but he admits he doesnt care, and doesnt practice ON HIS OWN. Dave cares and it shows in his playing. and (RIP) Joey cared too. if Lars has some sort of physical limitation and hes trying to "soldier on" maybe he should consider other things like FFDPs original drummer did. but if theres nothing otherwise wrong with him, he needs to show some respect, get better, and more consistent. their fans deserve it, and so does the rest of the band.
BOOM. Well said!
It's like the shit he invents is so sick and unlike anything else, you'd think he'd want to keep it true.
he never was a good drummer but back in their heyday he just compensated for that with lots of heart and practice. he barely reached the level he needed and it was always a big stretch and lots of effort and as he grows old he just't have that fire anymore and since he can't rely on his skill, that's basically why have have what we have now. it's not gonna change. Lombardo here has shown what somebody with real drum skill can do with this song, even in his old age nowadays he could do it just the same.
@@hazardeur are you high? ruclips.net/video/_yHJBDeshPA/видео.html
@@canatolakhoemini6728 practiced today trying to get better. he hasnt. oh and that video too shows his lack of consistency, terrible posture, and lack of efficiency in his playing. ty for the example.
Lars is a good drummer. Then you have Joey tearing it up. Then you have The Godfather of the double bass with Dave Lombardo.
This being one of the fastest songs they do is a yawn and a cup of coffee for Dave. I don’t know if you caught all of the extras he put in there just to have something to do to say it lightly.
Like someone said earlier, do “War Ensemble” by Slayer drum cam:
ruclips.net/video/3ivOfkqFmxg/видео.html
I'd like to hear Dave do Fight Fire With Fire.
Dave walked the dog with them! KEEP UP IF YOU CAN GUYS!!! They all picked up the pace and can tell they loved it
Exactly this
They didnt keep up tho
@@dejugulators Trujillo sure did!
He was definitely on the edge of the beat. Especially at the end.
I know right around the Reign in Blood album Dave Lombardo quit Slayer for a little bit but came back to the band. But here's the deal I truly believe if Cliff Burton wouldn't have died he would have convinced the guys in Metallica to fire Lars and higher Dave Lombardo. I mean cliff was the leader that band not Lars or James. I think he was on the verge of convincing them to get rid of Lars. And Dave was free from Slayer for a Time. So if Cliff hadn't died I think after they came back from that European tour for Master of Puppets and he would have survived they would have changed drummers. But he didn't survive and they never got rid of Lars and the rest is history. And of course Lombardo was only away from Slayer for a short time and he went back to the band. But of course I think in 92 he left the Slayer for good until 2008 when he came back for Christ illusion.
But I think he left Slayer because he wanted to be close to his growing family I know his wife had had a child and he wanted to be a father.
This is actually what Wikipedia said and this is what I've read......Lombardo left in 86', during their tour to promote Reign in Blood, stating, "I wasn't making any money. I figured if we were gonna be doing this professionally, on a major label, I wanted my rent and utilities paid." Tony Scaglione of Whiplash was enlisted to replace Lombardo. Unhappy with the change, Rick Rubin repeatedly called Lombardo asking his return. Lombardo initially refused before eventually returning to the band in 1987. Lombardo was basically the spokesperson I mean he came up with the Slayer logo he was the one that got them signed to Metal Blade records under the tutelage of producer Brian slagel. After they made show no mercy that became the highest selling album on Metal Blade records. And of course they made one more album on metal blade hell awaits and then Dave Lombardo was the one that got in the deal on Def Jam recordings and Rick Rubin for the next recording of Reign in Blood. Without Dave Lombardo Slayer wouldn't have gotten very far. But imagine if Cliff hadn't died and Metallica came back from the European part of their Puppets Tour and they hired Dave Lombardo holyshit, it would have been amazing. But it is what it is. I mean Dave Lombardo left Slayer 1992 so it would have worked out perfect being in Metallica for him. But he never joined Metallica and Lars Ulrich just got worse and worse on the drums. And it shows in their music
that would have been an incredible line up
Lars has had a bunch of stand ins over the years. And basically everyone wiped the floor with him, including his own drum tech.
btw, you have done Lombardo 9 months ago with Suicidal Tendencies. And Trujillo was the bass player that in the past... check out Lombardo with Mike Patton with Deadcross, or Fantomas and recently with Mr. Bungle too! ..new Bungle lineup Mike Patton, Trey Spruance, Trevor Dunn, Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Dave Lombardo.. Lombardo has now been the trusty drummer of General Patton in many projects!
...I made a request in that earlier videos comments of Kuoppis from Finland. Still holding the torch for it:
ruclips.net/video/XIQj6EVTT94/видео.html
I was at this show and it is by far the best, and most energeticI, I’ve ever heard Metallica sound. I got a bit overexcited when I realised Dave was going to be playing for them. I’ll never forget it.
If my memory serves me right, Dave Lombardo was considered the fastest double bass player in the world at one point. Slayer is part of big 4 for a reason.
"Godfather of double bass"
Slayer isn’t slayer without Dave, bospath tried to fill the void, but it didn’t sound right, hopefully one day he will be rocking with his former bandmates
Slayer is the 'Big Four'.
"Yeh-heahhh" is a song lyric for James! Kinda like a rapper's "uhhh" between bars. All I can come up with! 🤣
LOL
Look at War Ensemble drum cam at Yankee stadium
Yup Noted!
This is mere child's play for Lombardo!
Lombardo had actually recorded Battery for a compilation album (Metallic Assault) released in 2001 (with Trujillo on bass) so he was actually well aware of how to play it...
Oh right! Awesome
The opening sound, is a back track
That bit at 9:45 is Dave actually playing the part _correctly_ - the rest of Metallica is so used to Lars dropping a beat there that they don't know what to do when Dave actually plays the part right.
7:34 Dave didn't make a mistake there. He was about to play the breakdown, as it was played on the original record. But at that point Metallica had dropped playing the breakdown section on live shows, hence the abrupt pause.
Your editing had me rolling. A very well placed Wilhelm scream.
Edit: Dave Lombardo is a much better drummer than Lars. That doesn't take anything away from Lars, he has his place, but Dave is an infinitely better thrash drummer. I would suggest Dave's work with Slayer and Grip Inc. Specifically Ghosts of War and Heretic War Chant, respectively.
You actually did Suicidal Tendencies video War Inside My Head w/ Dave Lombardo on drums. But, check out War Ensamble by Slayer. Dave is killing it!
Thanks for the tip Mika. And yes I did do that ST one! I forgot
Nobody hates Metallica, we just hate the new stuff (i.e. anything after And Justice for All).
I was there. It was incredible
I don't know if there are any videos of him playing it but I love post mortem/raining blood.
Being the beast that Dave is, he is clearly playing the proper speed +, and pulling the band along with him. Kirk starts the solo at normal pace but has to make some adjustments to hit those q's.
Lars' drums had never been played that quick! Lombardo was a machine... As you said he didn't know all the little "live tweeks" like where they do the mid song pause and talk to the crowd, but killer. Glad to say I was there
Imagine Lombardo was the drummer of Metallica...................
You did a review of Dave Lombardo playing with Suicidal Tendencies.
Yes You are right!
Hey Drumeo, we need Lombardo to come do a day of filming. a session and some lessons. he is a more well rounded drummer than most people realize.
Check out Dream theater’s 1995 version of damage inc, 😉
I've never heard Metallica sound this good and tight. the bass isn't drown out by lars drums!!
I would love to see Metallica live with 66Samus and Eloy Casagrande some day
Eloy would be crazy HAHA
You've got 80 thousand screaming fans and you're headlining Download but your drummer is sick, pulling out is not an option. Never fear you've the king of thrash drummers Dave Lombardo and Joey Jordison sitting in the wings, you've got it covered.
LOA!
@@jrsydvls95 Damn right LOA! 👍
Ah, Dave was, is, and always will be 10X the drummer as Lars.💪🏻🤘🏻
WORD!
Lars knows that. He never pretends to be an amazing drummer, he's just the Metallica's drummer. Even Dave Lombardo respects Lars.
Sorry BigBrutal. My comment was almost word for word the same as yours. Even down to the 10x. Ain't trying to steal your thunder.
@@travisbicklesmohawk7069 No worries. It’s not like my original comment was painstakingly composed or anything. Just my gut reaction and opinion.💪🏻🤘🏻
Up until the guitars kick in it's a tape playing the album intro of the song. That's why it sounds Lars-y.
I was at that gig. Dave did the first 3 songs and was great, especially his double pedal. But when Joey came out, woah, that was the tightest I've ever heard Metallica who are insanely tight anyway. And the drum tech did fade to black, he was like a carbon copy of Lars. What a gig, one of my favourite Metallica performances ever.
Got to see him play live with the band Deadcross with Mike Patton!
Dude is a BEAST on the skins!!! 🥁🥁🥁✊✊🏿✊🏽
Rob joined in 2001.
Also, that middle part is an actual 4 measure stop, then drums go to mid tempo 8 measures before ramming back into the thrash for the solos.... I think Dave was overly excited and just completely forgot. He came in so frkn fast at the beginning, was a mess for a couple seconds there til the axemen adjusted their tempos lol. Still, insanely awesome for no prior rehearsals !
Metallica fans know thet James is yodeling and Lars is playing a little slower since the black album ... but in the end, we don't mind 😀😀😀
and Dave Lombardo is a drumming beast all the time !
In a perfect world Lars would've been in that bus seat and Lombardo would BE the drummer for Metallica. But, in a perfect world, we'd still have Freddie Mercury and everyone would be all, "R.I.P. Magic Johnson."
Metallica - Whiplash Seattle 1989 and you see why Metallica where the titans during 80s and early 90s, Battery from the same concert is also good but since you did it here. No drum cam but it's good quality.
Right on!
Andy Metallica starts this song and blackened live with actual studio samples. So that Lars drum sound you point out in the beginning is indeed lars.. from 1986...
Thanks Justin!
Technically Dave’s obviously great, but I consider him a feel drummer. His feel is unmistakable. He leads with his left like Ringo BTW. Very musical. Spill The Blood is in my top 5
I think the drum kit wanted to go home with Dave.
Another good one is the performance from the big 4 of am I evil. The big 4 are Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and anthrax
My guess on what Dave was thinking about before and after, was "dude.. I'm stoked to play these tunes with my OG buddies", and after it was "hell yeah... that was a rush". Dave and Metallica go back to the early 80s together. This was just a jam fest for him. Joey on the other hand, wasn't part of that scene, but he was an extremely seasoned drummer by this time. I'm sure he wasn't nervous. However... I think the nostalgic feeling that Dave got wasn't shared the same by Joey. Joey was probably more star struck by it than Dave was.
Oh right! I didn't know about the earlier connections between Dave and the band. Thanks!
Yeah that thrash scene in San Francisco was somewhat incestuous, Hammett came from Exodus, Mustaine formed megadeth and had Kerry king from slayer for a while. This is ~1982 onwards. Hammett talks about the scene in his Gibson interview he did recently, highly recommended watching.
It sounds amazing because Lombardo is 10x the drummer Lars could ever hope to be.
I'm not trying to be a troll or a bummer but that was a total dumpster fire of a performance. Granted, he is playing another bands music and can't be expected to know every time change and all the different "Larsisms" that only Lars has down. It's not like Dave thinks and plays Metallica song's all day. I'm not coming down on Lombardo because his reputation proceeds him in Slayer and all of his side projects. It would be like Carter Beauford filling in for the drummer for Slaughter to Prevail. You can only expect just so much.. Carter would sound horrible taking that gig for a night even though he is a world class drummer in my opinion.
Imagine Lars trying to play Lombardo's stuff in Slayer. Scary.
Agree 100% . ...still better that Lars live though. 😏
Dave Lombardo is probably the best thrash metal drummer ever, but Metallica is more than just thrash metal - Dave doesn't have the feel, groove and nuance that Lars does.
Fair enough!
There is a multicam version of the whole concert put out by Metallica. These fill in drummers all know Metallica's music and play this type of music anyway. Lombardo was the original Slayer drummer
Cool to see Dave covering for Metallica, don't think Lars could keep up with Slayer very well if the roles were reversed but it would've taken a lot for Dave to miss a Slayer show!
Imagine seeing Metallica live with a good drummer. Wild lol
This sounds like a million bux Jacob!
That drum fill is part of the original recording but everyone just accepts that Lars can't play it.
Dave Lombardo is a legend! If you knew Dave you wouldn’t be surprised. He is hands down 1 of the best if not the best metal drummer!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it already but that classic Lars sound on Battery was because it was the intro track then the main riff kicks in and you can tell it's Dave on drums.
Yes I found out afterward!
Battery sounds so good played by Dave.
This is my favourite version of Metallica playing Battery. Lombardo gets settled and just gives it the onion.
Seeing as Dave Lombardo was the drummer for Slayer, not just anther band, but the OG of the Big 4, I doubt that stepping down in the world of drumming to sit in Lars seat for a couple of songs even blipped his radar, much less was a career highlight. Maybe playing with the Original Misfits, but not Metallica. Here is a cold fact. Dave was able to sit down and play Battery and Four Horsemen with no real practice. There is no way in hell Lars could fill in for him in Slayer.
Hahahahah, don't know if anyone saw it, or already commented, but Andrew....as you were talking about not having heard Lombardo yet, I have here in the vid list at the right, a vid of you reacting to Lombardo 10 months(War Inside My Head) ago lol....
I was there that night , Dave Lombardo, Joey Jordison saved Metallica’s asses they were headlining Download and arrived hours late Lars was in hospital ( apparently) . Joey played pretty much the entire set
It's sounds like Lars kit in the start , because it's INTRO.....Lombardo starts playing at 3:57.
Ha! James sounded a bit tired towards the end of Battery! lol
All Hail the Great Dave Lombardo!!!
Willard
They couldn't keep up dave played at the right speed
Hey Andy, there is a new video of Darkside of the band Mgła playing a song from their new album that I think demonstrates his skills even better than the video you reacted to previously. Definitely worth checking out!
Look for Darkside - Mgła -Age of excuse VI (Drum Cam)
Yup I'm on it Carmen. Thank you!
Dave did a version of Battery for a tribute compilation album. The bassist for this version... Robert Trujillo.
Lars has a lot of critics...and for good reason sometimes. That night was a pleasure to be part of and felt fresh, exciting and really made you realise what a mediocre drummer Lars really is. Even Metallica sounded more vital.
Excuse me sir, you've literally made a video about Lombardo playing with suicidal tendencies
I know James had to adjust his technique due to damaging his voice in the early years. But I really can't stand the drawn out, smooth, melodic ends he put on nearly all of the lines around this time. It just goes against everything else that's happening and kills the intensity. Not to mention that he changed the melody of the word "battery" at the end of the chorus for no reason at all (starting on the highest note instead of the lowest.) He sounds way better now than he did then.
No comparison, Dave is an elite drummer and lars is mediocre at best. Its like comparing foo fighters guitarist to randy Rhoads
When you paused the song at the beginning and commented on the drums sounding “very Lars” that’s because that was just the song intro played through the PA, there was no playing an instrument at that point
the sadest part is.. metallica sounds a lot better without lars' sloppy drumming... all respect to lars.. but hes not know for being tight
ITS FUNNY.. after watching the full concert I seemed to enjoy Metallica again... its HILARIOUS how an opinion can change when Lars is removed from the equation. even with small mistakes from Joey and Dave it still kills literally everything Lars ever did XD
There was also a time when Metallica got to play with the guys from Meshuggah... Haake driving the band transformed everything.
This was when Dave was like…. Keep up with me please.
LOL Keith!
They couldn't it killed James and kirk
Lombardo es una bestia en la batería, me gustaba cuando estaba en Slayer con Araya porque los dos son de origen latino, Lombardo de Cuba y Araya de Chile. Saludos
Dave Lombardo is a fucking LEGEND. SLAYER!!!!!! \m/
There's a band from Sacramento called Will Haven that played a legendary gig in Glasgow about 15 years ago where the singer had to fly to Paris because his wife was there and suddenly very very sick. A whole bunch of Scottish singers came along at no notice and filled in on vocals, including the singer from Biffy Clyro. Given the size/profile of WH and the size of the venue (King Tuts) made this achievement all the more impressive!
I'm sure the wife of one of them from Biffy, is a teacher at Auchinleck Academy in Ayrshire.
On that tour a similar thing happened when they played TJ’s at Newport. As an aside, I bought my El Diablo cd and a hoody from Grady himself when they supported the Deftones in 1998 at Cardiff Uni.
@@roscopervis Was that the tour with Incubus supporting too? One of my lifelong regrets not getting to see that show! I lived in the Highlands at the time and at 19, driving to the big smoke of Glasgow seemed like an impossibility!
I met WH in Aberdeen probably the year later and have a bunch of signed shit. One of the few bands I go out of my way to see every single time they're here now!
No, Crowbar was the other main band on the tour I remember. The bands and some local bands singers helped in Grady’s absence. I don’t want to sound like Danny from Withnail and I, but I have a story about Incubus too when they were supporting Korn in 1996 in Bristol. Jonathan Davies was ill and the show was cancelled that day, but as we were all freezing standing outside waiting for news, my buddy and I were talking to some Americans who we thought were part of the crew. Had a really good chat for about an hour or more, even exchanged numbers (pre mobiles), if we were ever in L.A. or they the glamorous Llanelli (!). Turns out it was Brandon and Mike! We didn’t have a clue. Really nice guys.
@@roscopervis no in 98, wasn't it Incubus that played on the deftones show?
Dave is a Fckin BEAST!!! Listen to how good it all sounds!!!
Sounds brilliant
Sepultura was made by 2 brothers. Zero original members.
so when did metallica hire a country singer to lead the band? was it in 90, or 91...
Dave is an amazing tight drummer
I heard dave lombardo's style described sounds like always playing with hammers,no matter what he's playing hit it as hard as you can,as fast as you can
Hammering! Yup Craig. For sure
Fun to watch you discover new playings that I've just discovered myself over last few years. Slayer was too harsh back in day for me.Thank you✌
Yup me too Brooke!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums you need to check out seasons in the abyss for lambardo. Its a masterpiece in every way
Bare in mind Dave didn't know the songs ,he'd never played them before, he had only ever heard them in passing, and he had less than 3 hours notice .
I was there that day, I can't express the atmosphere when we saw Dave Lombardo drumming in Metallica , it's something many thrash metal fans had fantasised about .
@@trulyunoriginal i remember a member of Slayer (Kerry or Tom) said that they wish they wrote Battery because the song is freaking brutal.
Dave played battery on a compilation album with Robert, he knows the song
Metallica should feel fortunate to play with Dave Lombardo....Dave and Gene Hoglan are considered two of the best drummers in the metal community. 💯🤍⭐
You should check out John Boecklin of Devildriver.
I like how the band came in early on the 3rd verse cuz they're used to Lars going LUDICROUS SPEED on his fills.

There’s some great videos of Dave drumming for slayer on RUclips 🤘🏼
I'll check it out! Thanks Tyler
If Lombard wasn't the inspiration for Animal in the Muppets he should've been
I think Keith Moon was the inspiration Matthew?
Thanks for watching... please be sure to sub! 🥁+ ☕️ = 🙌
@@AndrewRooneyDrums could be Keith Moon, I'm sure Animal was around before Slayer, lol been subbed for a while now 👍
