I was just listening to Howard Show today where he was talking up Richard Christy and how good he is. He knows Richard Christy has been voted best drummer in the world more than once
Lol okay. Go look up Sean Reinert with death and look at the comments. But really what makes Richard better than Sean? Richard Christy is a really chaotic drummer and he's really fast with his hands, but Sean Reinert knows just about every drumming style there is. And he's really fast with double bass too.
Yeah, they have no idea how good Richard is. This is the best way to explain Richard as a drummer....he was essentially handpicked by the most influential musical genius in the metal world, Chuck Schuldiner, to be the drummer in his band. Chuck did not deal with hacks. Not only did he have incredible drummers like Richard, Gene Hoglan, and Sean Reinert play in his band,..but he also recruited amazing guitar players like Bobby Koelble and Andy Larocque. Andy has played with King Diamond for decades and Bobby is a freaking university jazz professor. So based on who Chuck had in his band, it tells you just how good Richard is. The dude is way too humble.
Calm down we know Richard is talented. That is the spirit of the Stern show, they would ridicule EVERYTHING. That’s what made the Stern show great. Go listen to the Elvis Duran Show and it’s fake banter if you don’t want to be offended.
it pissed me off when they said that the two songs they showed were death metal, and they just sit there and think this what we are all about, i wish metal would be taken more seriously

Pretty much. He was in Chuck Schuldiner's band Death, which was basically a rotating "who's who" lineup of some of the most talented musicians in the death metal genre, hands down.
They have no idea... This is Richard Christy... Sounds of Perseverance has my favorite metal drumming of all time... This guy has one of the most original styles in metal. He was one of the few drummers on the planet that could follow Sean Reinert and Gene Hoglan.... They have no clue. Wow.
Only one album? I thought he was their long time drummer? The only Death I've seen was a DVD they made and Richard was on the drums. Still blows my mind the way he plays. He shits on any other death metal drummer. There's so many death metal drummers that are nothing other than fast but Richard does a lot more than just play fast beats and fills. Though what he played here on the show wasn't the best example of it.
crackers472 During Richard's audition the producer who brought him in was thoroughly impressed with his drumming and record since he was a metal fan himself. The others aren't going to pay attention to that because quite frankly he's auditioning and is now a comedy writer. Plus the show doesn't really focus on that stuff.
Likeyoucare ...a show you like so much you look it up on you tube to watch... Yeah you dont like it at all huh? You closeted Stern fans crack me up, so unself aware that you like him and thats why you watch him. Keep saying you dont like him though, it makes you seem so virtuous and cool!
Howard needs to WAKE UP!!! He's got one of the best, most multi talented drummers in the world working on his show and Im not sure he knows it… Richard can play anything!!!
Yea because Artie must know a little bit about music. Ralph especially just completely embarrassed himself by showing what an ignorant fuck he is at the end. Even on guitar Richard is good.
Artie worked in a world full of talent. If you were immersed in that as long as he was, you’d recognize talent when you saw it. To go ahead and bash it after that would have been fucking cheap and lame. And he probably would have gotten shit for doing shit like that from the people he probably most respects. You could hear the awe in his voice. It’s really cool when talent respects talent.
I dont particularly like death metal but Richard is REALLY good. I'm a drummer and they give him absolutely no respect. He is held in high regard in the death metal community. Adam Jarvis is faster tho.... hahahaha. Now HE is unreal Richard never really explained what a career he had. Granted, this type of music garners very little attention and very low pay but never the less, the guy was really big in the scene.
If you are not interested in Death Metal you should try The Fragile Art of Existance, bassically Death Metal with clear vocal, and Richard was playing the drum on it
for gods sake show the man some respect he played with Death and Iced Earth and has his own band now, he is a very talented drummer and funny guy... who is ralph especially to criticize richard god damn.
Once Howard Stern retires he'll just be a footnote in entertainment history. Metalheads will be listening to Christy's drumming on masterpieces like The Sounds of Perseverance for probably as long as recorded music exists.
Yes Robin, I listen to records, albums, cd's whatever...every. single. day. Along with seeing as many shows as I possibly can, as often as I can; at 37. Awesome sauce.
i don't care if Howard & crew -- especially Ralph at the end -- dislike death metal/black metal/grind/etc. i understand that. what bothers me is that they didn't have the capacity to appreciate how talented Richard was. i'm not even talking about the blast beats and the double-bass and tom rolls. listen to his discography: Richard's got serious chops.
Agreed but it's really almost impossible for a non drummer to understand how good he is. Even beginner drums just can't comprehend why what he does is so special or how hard it is to do. It just sounds like a bunch of noise to people who don't play the drums anywhere near that level.
DrJuice1Agreed Hugo & Dr....Richard played on Death's Sound of Perseverance. Chuck Schuldiner didn't fuck around when he enlisted talent. Richard was no exception. Richard is a god in the drum world merely with that on his resume and deservedly so. On another note, People that don't understand this type of music shouldn't comment on it as they are just plain ignorant to the level of dedication it takes to play drums (or any instrument in this genre) on this level! Horns up, way up!
Richard is highly underrated as a drummer on the Stern show. He used to be in a killer band called DEATH,one of the best metal bands ever. He's killer.
For all of you who don't like metal and therefore cant be objective, Richard Christy is both extremely talented and well versed in drums. Trust me he's good. Very good.
Yesss same here! He and I had an ongoing conversation not that long ago just because I asked him about a festival he played at, that Pantera headlined. He is seriously the sweetest dude. and the most badass drummer around. legend.
Richard... Along with Gary, the two genuinely nice, decent people on this show. None of them are total dicks (except Stuttering John, way back), but Gary and Richard are genuinely warm-hearted guys. Richard has exactly the right temperament to deal with that fucking zoo. Good for him.
love how they were all making fun of metal at the start and as soon as they herd richard play they were fucking shocked. good job richard! put em in there place haha
Yup, they sure sound like parents. I dont even know who some of the black metal bands were but it sounds fine to me. No disrespect but vocals like that are ideal for this type of music. It's an extreme form of expression after all. Imagine Dio singing freezing moon
+Daniel Parra black metal is garbage man. nothing there. No musicality anywhere as a whole. Some are great musicians by themselves but when it all come together it's pure garbage
Ulysses M. so... maybe death metal just isn't your genre, rather than "it's all garbage". people take such extreme views on things that don't related to them at all. it's why we still have war.
Richard is extremely talented as a writer as well. He'll never get the respect he deserves because he'll always be used as a punchline. The Artie years were truly the last great years of the show. Although I'll listen until the last day he does a show, I still miss the way the show used to be. Marci Turk needs to give Howard his balls back and let him call the shots again. Anyway, Richard and Sal's calls/bits are always the best part of the new show.
I hope people reading the comments dont think that Richard & Death are being praised due to the connection they have with The Howard Stern show. Its a niche genre with many great bands but Death really is legendary; to put it into perspective, all of their albums on RYM (IMDB/RottenTomatos version of music) are 4+/5 stars which is akin to a directors filmography getting 9+/10 ratings on every movie theyve ever made.

Death is also now recognized as one of the most acclaimed music groups of all time, held in high praise by critics, metal musicians, and fans* So, yeah... listening to Howard here is like nails on a chalkboard. You dont have to love it to appreciate it. Its like goofing on Picasso & calling 'cubism' silly simply because his art isnt to your liking.
Yes, and so could anybody who is musically inclined. I actually go through songs only paying attention to one instrument because than I can fully appreciate the beauty of it. I personally play drums, so the drums are always what I catch onto first. But to answer the question, I could easily do that.
Stern doesn't know it, but he has one of the top five metal drummers right there on his staff.
It's hard to quantify the best, but don't try to deny his work on The Sound Of Perseverance...
definitely needed more episodes of him drumming.
i know it pisses me off to see him belittled
punisherthunder top 10 easy, but he's too humble. how can you talk shit to him? you'd wanna be his friend.
I was just listening to Howard Show today where he was talking up Richard Christy and how good he is. He knows Richard Christy has been voted best drummer in the world more than once
They have no clue that The Sound Of Perseverance Is One Of The Greatest Metal Albums Ever Recorded
I know its brutal
chris fattoruso dude, sound of perseverance is the pinnacle of metal, richard christy is one of the best drummers ever
chris fattoruso FACT
Sean reinert is WAY better than Richard though... Just listen to together as one or secret face.
Lol okay. Go look up Sean Reinert with death and look at the comments. But really what makes Richard better than Sean? Richard Christy is a really chaotic drummer and he's really fast with his hands, but Sean Reinert knows just about every drumming style there is. And he's really fast with double bass too.
This is PAINFUL!!!!! These guys have NOOOOO idea who is working for them! Richard Christy is amazing! DEATH/Iced Earth come on Howard.
Yeah, they have no idea how good Richard is. This is the best way to explain Richard as a drummer....he was essentially handpicked by the most influential musical genius in the metal world, Chuck Schuldiner, to be the drummer in his band. Chuck did not deal with hacks.

Artie likes ACDC, enough said. One of the worst bands ever. Death is legendary.
@@charliedroves5610 This is true, though XD
I like how Richard has more talent than everyone on the show combined, and is made fun of the most. They should bow to him.
it pissed me off when they said that the two songs they showed were death metal, and they just sit there and think this what we are all about, i wish metal would be taken more seriously

richard's modesty makes the joke work tho
they are in the presence of a drumming god and they dont even know
Pretty much. He was in Chuck Schuldiner's band Death, which was basically a rotating "who's who" lineup of some of the most talented musicians in the death metal genre, hands down.
Death was one of the greatest bands of all time and Richard is an amazing drummer. R.I.P Chuck.
Holy shit!!! Richard is just a sick drummer!! Most talent of anyone else on the show IMO.
+bob webb Stern is on a level all by himself, my bro...
He was and still is a metal drummer, even before he became a comedian
@@BigtimeJuicerPelican has no talent, the fuck are you talking about??
They have no idea... This is Richard Christy... Sounds of Perseverance has my favorite metal drumming of all time... This guy has one of the most original styles in metal. He was one of the few drummers on the planet that could follow Sean Reinert and Gene Hoglan.... They have no clue. Wow.
Seriously he needs more respect. He played with chuck schuldiner for fuck's sake and recorded a bad ass album with him.
Indeed. I wanna hear more of that "Frost" song he wrote!
There's a few videos on youtube of Death playing live with Richard on drums.
Only one album? I thought he was their long time drummer? The only Death I've seen was a DVD they made and Richard was on the drums. Still blows my mind the way he plays. He shits on any other death metal drummer. There's so many death metal drummers that are nothing other than fast but Richard does a lot more than just play fast beats and fills. Though what he played here on the show wasn't the best example of it.
Luke Harbison maybe the best album ever...
@@HugoStiglitz88 He had one Death album with Chuck, and also drummed on the first Control Denied release (also with Chuck).
Richard is an incredible drummer more that they would ever know!
crackers472 During Richard's audition the producer who brought him in was thoroughly impressed with his drumming and record since he was a metal fan himself. The others aren't going to pay attention to that because quite frankly he's auditioning and is now a comedy writer. Plus the show doesn't really focus on that stuff.
My favorite part of this vid is Artie's utter shock when Richard stops drumming.
"Wow. You're talented!"
Can't believe someone as talented as Richard Christy is on Hoo Hoo's show.
Joe Mama He is the only real human on the show.
You really hate gay people huh?
bob webb You sure got that reference though, didnt you? Hmmmm
Likeyoucare ...a show you like so much you look it up on you tube to watch... Yeah you dont like it at all huh? You closeted Stern fans crack me up, so unself aware that you like him and thats why you watch him. Keep saying you dont like him though, it makes you seem so virtuous and cool!
Richard recorded the last Death album.One of the most creative death metal albums of all time.
Richard's fucking awesome.
Richard Christy was the man who inspired me to start learning drums. He's the fuckin man!
Howard needs to WAKE UP!!! He's got one of the best, most multi talented drummers in the world working on his show and Im not sure he knows it… Richard can play anything!!!
100% right.
4 years later and still nothing with him 😔 and the shows ahh 😐 now
One of greatest metal drummers ever. If you played for chuck, that’s top tier. He had nothing but the best.
I love that artie acknowledged Richards extreme talent. At first it seemed like he was going to talk shit.
Yea because Artie must know a little bit about music. Ralph especially just completely embarrassed himself by showing what an ignorant fuck he is at the end. Even on guitar Richard is good.
I think Artie had jokes ready for this but had to scratch that list...
Artie worked in a world full of talent. If you were immersed in that as long as he was, you’d recognize talent when you saw it. To go ahead and bash it after that would have been fucking cheap and lame. And he probably would have gotten shit for doing shit like that from the people he probably most respects. You could hear the awe in his voice. It’s really cool when talent respects talent.
Holy shit! Ralph at the end commenting on talent, fuckin please.
RIchard drummed for ICed Earth and Death.. his credibility speaks for itself.. he doesn't even need to prove anything.
Stern had a moment of self awareness when he said, "Are we just turning into our parents"? Robin and Artie denied the truth of the matter.
My god. Richard’s talent is unreal
I dont particularly like death metal but Richard is REALLY good. I'm a drummer and they give him absolutely no respect. He is held in high regard in the death metal community. Adam Jarvis is faster tho.... hahahaha. Now HE is unreal
Richard never really explained what a career he had. Granted, this type of music garners very little attention and very low pay but never the less, the guy was really big in the scene.
Josh Nance And that's why he never got any pussy doing it, right?
If you are not interested in Death Metal you should try The Fragile Art of Existance, bassically Death Metal with clear vocal, and Richard was playing the drum on it
ITS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH THAT THEY NEVER KNEW THE FUCKING LEGEND THAT THEY HAD ON THEIR HANDS! HES MY FAAAAAAAVORITE
for gods sake show the man some respect he played with Death and Iced Earth and has his own band now, he is a very talented drummer and funny guy... who is ralph especially to criticize richard god damn.
fucking hilarious how robin makes fun of richard but hes 5x as talented as her
*1000x more talented.
Robin has no talent
I listen to mainly death metal and black metal and I am against drugs. These people have no idea they are talking about.
Richard is one of the very best drummers in the world. A very nice man. Met him a few times through a friend who lived with him in Florida.
Richard is a legend ;)
Holy shit Richard is fucking great at drums.
+Eric lego Dude, he played for DEATH, on one of the most amazing metal albums of all time. The Sound of Perseverance!
Ralph is unable to grasp Richard Christy's talent. Therefore he is undeserving of life.
Hey RICHARD youre my favorite person on the show!
Youre the man richard! not just cause of your music, i only just discovered that.
Richard Christy is sooooo underrated as a drummer. His name should be spoken with the best.
"Don't think you could play a full song like that though, I think you would die" Do they not know who he is?
possibly not.
Do you rly expect out of touch billionaires to know actual talent???
Once again, Artie brings it to the people....miss that guy. The show is NOTHING without him!
Damn, Richard is really freakin' talented. And he's so laid back... you'd never imagine it.
That Losing My Religion cover is from the Italian black metal band Graveworm. Great band and cover
Once Howard Stern retires he'll just be a footnote in entertainment history. Metalheads will be listening to Christy's drumming on masterpieces like The Sounds of Perseverance for probably as long as recorded music exists.
+bob webb well at least Richard is back in the metal community
Yes Robin, I listen to records, albums, cd's whatever...every. single. day. Along with seeing as many shows as I possibly can, as often as I can; at 37.
Awesome sauce.

They dont understand smh. They're not musicians.
DrJuice1 Agree. Richard is supremely talented.

+DrJuice1 pay Ralph no mind, he is a useless waste of space.
That was fabulous, lawls!
Busted out laughing at 4:39 when a says "You're talented." He was shocked and surprised that Richard had actual talent
Hahaha
Richard, everything you do is amazing, calls included.
....I didn't know that there's such fantastic cover of Loosing My Religion! thanks!
Death is one of the best bands ever!!-
Richard's the most talented person in that room...Good that Howard's dedicating a piece of his show on Richard's drummming
Richard's song was fucking awesome! Love that guy he's my favorite person on the show, literally out of everyone there
Richard is highly underrated as a drummer on the Stern show.
He used to be in a killer band called DEATH,one of the best metal bands ever.
He's killer.
It's amazing that drumming comes out of Richard
Richard is freaking awesome. The Control Denied record is a classic.
Richard Christy is such a stud. Seriously, I love this guy.
Blast beats 4evah! I LOVE this clip!
Richard Christy is a phenom.
Ive been a guitarest for 13 years. Now wanting to try drums .Richard Christy has got me convinced to start out with DDrums
I love richard, he would have been so fun to have in a band!
Richard's my faaaavorite.
This is incredible
richard is the man
Howard doesn't know he has one of the most underrated metal drummers in the country on his staff...
Richard Christy is amazing!!!
Richard and Howard have worked on the radio together for years. That's probably why they tease him without restraint.
Richard is amazing!
Artie's the best for requesting the drums to "Happy Birthday".
The Sounds of Perseverance hero!
Gotta love Richard
yeah, thats the sound of talent
Wow, that was pretty good. Frost was great. More of Richard's tunes would be good.
This is cool I love metal Richard is awesome the charred walls of the damned stuff is great and death killer
damn richard is goooooood, this is my faaaaaaavorite
Hey rich
It's ur dad
Hey, bubby... lol
For all of you who don't like metal and therefore cant be objective, Richard Christy is both extremely talented and well versed in drums. Trust me he's good. Very good.
Richard Christy is as good at drumming as Peter North is at shooting ropes!
Listen to the Death album The Sound of Perseverance. That's Richard Christy at his best. His drum work in Control Denied is masterful as well
By far the most talented person ever associated with the Howard Stern Show.
Richard should play drums for Morbid angel.
He could certainly do it
Lmao yeah he seriously looks a lot like Pete Sandoval
Damn Richard, just makes me like him more and more.
Amazing drummer. Wow. I'm impressed.
I emailed Richard back in 07-08 just to say Hi and shit like that. He wrote me back the sweetest, nicest, most sincere letter ever.
Yesss same here! He and I had an ongoing conversation not that long ago just because I asked him about a festival he played at, that Pantera headlined. He is seriously the sweetest dude. and the most badass drummer around. legend.
Richard Christy Rocks!
He was amazing on Death's Sound of Perseverance!
Richard... Along with Gary, the two genuinely nice, decent people on this show. None of them are total dicks (except Stuttering John, way back), but Gary and Richard are genuinely warm-hearted guys. Richard has exactly the right temperament to deal with that fucking zoo. Good for him.
Howard Stern and the others are FUCKING KILLING ME!!!!!!
love how they were all making fun of metal at the start and as soon as they herd richard play they were fucking shocked. good job richard! put em in there place haha
cool, Richard is awesome
Christy's an enormous talent.
I know right, he has more LOYAL fans than most of them do.
richard rules
The start of Richards song was sick!
Yup, they sure sound like parents. I dont even know who some of the black metal bands were but it sounds fine to me. No disrespect but vocals like that are ideal for this type of music. It's an extreme form of expression after all. Imagine Dio singing freezing moon
+Daniel Parra black metal is garbage man. nothing there. No musicality anywhere as a whole. Some are great musicians by themselves but when it all come together it's pure garbage
Ulysses M. no, some if it is really good. it's like anything. tell me there aren't a million garbage rock or pop bands too.
Audfile there is alot of garbage rock and pop bands. Horrible
Ulysses M. so... maybe death metal just isn't your genre, rather than "it's all garbage". people take such extreme views on things that don't related to them at all. it's why we still have war.
Richard is extremely talented as a writer as well. He'll never get the respect he deserves because he'll always be used as a punchline. The Artie years were truly the last great years of the show. Although I'll listen until the last day he does a show, I still miss the way the show used to be. Marci Turk needs to give Howard his balls back and let him call the shots again. Anyway, Richard and Sal's calls/bits are always the best part of the new show.
Richard is also the funniest one on the Stern show too lol
lol. I like when Richard and Howard were jamming
His music is pretty good,I'd like to hear more of it.
I hope people reading the comments dont think that Richard & Death are being praised due to the connection they have with The Howard Stern show. Its a niche genre with many great bands but Death really is legendary; to put it into perspective, all of their albums on RYM (IMDB/RottenTomatos version of music) are 4+/5 stars which is akin to a directors filmography getting 9+/10 ratings on every movie theyve ever made. They are considered the pioneers of the death metal genre (as in, they invented it. The same way Black Sabbath are cited as the pioneers of heavy metal.
As per the wikipedia article : *Death is considered to be one of the most influential bands in heavy metal and a pioneering force in death metal. Death is also now recognized as one of the most acclaimed music groups of all time, held in high praise by critics, metal musicians, and fans*
So, yeah... listening to Howard here is like nails on a chalkboard.
You dont have to love it to appreciate it. Its like goofing on Picasso & calling 'cubism' silly simply because his art isnt to your liking.
Yes, and so could anybody who is musically inclined. I actually go through songs only paying attention to one instrument because than I can fully appreciate the beauty of it. I personally play drums, so the drums are always what I catch onto first. But to answer the question, I could easily do that.
I love this clip. Fucking cool.
Howard on vocals....I would totally buy that album
Agree with punisherthunder. Christy has incredible talent and is sorely underrated as a drummer
Richard is brilliant
The dog barking was super fucking funny
Richard was in the band started Death Metal with the godfather of Death Metal, how cool is that!
