I am so glad I was fortunate enough to see all three eras of Dillinger drummers live at one point or another. While both Pennie and Sharone have their own incredibly unique style (that still somehow works within the context of this band) Billy has to be my favorite. And its a close fight, let's be clear. Chris' playing is forever etched into my brain because I heard Sugar Coated Sour for the first time and I turned it off because it was just "noise" to me at that point in time. Picked it back up again a few months later and BOOM something clicked and I could kinda follow what was going on and from there I was hooked. Gil Sharone? Ire Works.... Need I say more? Dude jumped into a spot that I'm sure most drummers at that time thought was an impossible set of shoes to fill. Not only did he do justice, he played the earlier songs live with a different feel. Same energy, different feel but it was still Dillinger by ear. Billy comes in, does what Gil did, and then continues to expand on everything from the past and make it his own. I saw Dillinger with Billy more than any other iteration and every time it was like seeing them for the first time. You never knew what they would be playing that night and it didnt matter at all. it was going to sound like you were hoping because the shoes had been filled by the one dude they were meant for.
This song always perplexes me. What is happening around the 1:15 mark of the song? Somehow they figure out a way to make it sounds like the song skips or something. I've tried counting out this section so many times, but can never keep up. Is it really just straight 4 with some odd accents - can anyone explain it to me? Either way, it's absolutely brilliant.
Yeah it’s just accents that are late enough in the measure to make it sound like that. If you are counting, or even just listening to those crash cymbal hits, you can feel the 4/4 better. This is so complex though, if I had to transcribe any of this into sheet music I’d off myself.
@@Mediumreginald it's always bugged me about people's attitudes about music... theres things that sound like noise to people because they just don't understand it.... I've had older folks say they hate screaming and I bring up Janis Joplin... I mean.. theres a lot of things people are just plain old ignorant of.
Listening to a Dillinger instrumental is something else entirely!!
Find someone who looks at you the way that guy in the background looks at Billy drumming

This make me want to scream and calculate at the same time
To infinity

The greatest tragedy of this song is how far down they mixed 1:50 in the studio version. You can barely hear it on the finished track
Billy is really one of the best to ever do it
He wrote it so there could be no other way. The OG of this tune 😉
Never heard of this guy but he’s definitely got it. He seems like a guy who has perfect control of his anger management problem.
That means that you never heard about Dillinger Escape Plan😅
Dude is the chillest guy ever.
@@LintRiggs_ according to "weepaul666" appareNTLY so do u like pee diablo sauce cuz dat is lol sis
@@flippydip7341 Are you even speaking English?
Yeah, he can stay angry for as long as he wants to
What a monster of a drummer

Billy fucking rules. Thank you for this!
Jeezus tdep is just on a different level.
This makes me want to yell at my calculator
GOD MODE ACTIVATED
Beast.
Wow he absolutely murdered that
What a gem!!!

@@ElijahJohnsonDrums Thanks! That's what I thought, but it seemed too complicated to be that simple... if that makes sense.
Yes, 4/4 time with an oddly out of time accented syncopated beat, which when the drums follow it makes the entire song feel like it lags
How the fuck does one feel the groove in the verse section? (0:33)
Feels fucking exhilarating!
Their vocalist Greg ties that section very well into the groove of it
The groove feels you
The answer is you don’t, there’s no pulse.
@@Sk1ttleFrog Exactly. It's 'off the grid'.
technical and rock is boring, technical and hardcore is awesome 😍
I’ve never noticed before but he kinda looks like Wayne from letterkenny.
“Went down the mosh pit the other day…”
wow.
I reckon he’s done this before.
Billy fn ownz!
is it just me or the walls of the room stretching like a waveforms during the outro?
Love how they took out the vocals. God forbid you normies listen to something heavy for once.
There would be no way of knowing if he made a mistake.
Considering every single rhythmic change is doubled by the guitar and accented I’d say it’d be comically easy to tell if he fucked up
@@Mediumreginald exactly

Metronome, bro. Metronome.
You dont have the knowledge of rhythm or know what a metronome is do you ? Woundering how you end up here ...🤣🤦
Can't deal with this episode. I hear only noise.
all music is noise silly
silly goose
Go to sleep grandpa.
@@Brandovichie Wrong. "Noise is defined as "Loud and unpleasant"!
@@hyperboreandesolation I can't, too noisy!
