- Hello everyone, got a different video this time that you might find interesting ;-)
This is a funk song my friend Asterios Papastamatakis wrote and had the PLEASURE to play with him as well as the amazing team of Antonis Andreou, Dimitris Tsakas and my long time friend Mike Papadopoulos from Cerebrum which we jam some funk pretty often.
Big honor for me to play with all of them, thanks a ton for joining guys!!!! It was damn fun!!!!
This is take No 2, a few little mistakes but oh well....haha...
Big thanks to Soundtrap Studios for their hospitality (again!) and to Dimitris Retouniotis who mixed and engineer the whole project (killer job brother!). Also big thanks to Jon Simvonis for taking the time to film this!
Hope you enjoy it!!!
George
He must be thinking " don't blast beat, control yourself, don't blast beat"
+Tomé Silva 4:18
+Tomé Silva oh god, you made my day man!
+Apollyon 6:20 :)
***** who cares about jazz? i blast beat when i want
+Arda Gurcu That was some serious blast beating!
Ha ha ha, no i didn't felt naked behind that kit, in fact i play a 4-piece very often!
I felt naked playing with such great musicians though!.....These guys are fucking monsters!!!!!
I haven't been stressed like that for years....had a lot of fun though! :)
Didnt seem stressed at all and i also love getting behind the smaller kits compared to my 10 piece!!!
But this shows your versatility.. Love from India sir
George is king!!
@Robert Calhoun what band?
The average person doesn’t understand jazz/funk/fusion, but from what I’ve encountered every musician absolutely LOVES that style. Truly is a musicians music.
Nile's new song.
+Emmanuel Bossé AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHHA
into the heart of the newborn servant.......brutal jazz man
I just wanna see Karl and George do a 10 minuet jazz piece in the middle of a Nile show.
Burn out in hot sand in Egypt or something
i want see flesh god apocalypse drumeur play jazz now....... :P
Totally speechless with your response guys....thank you all so much!!!
Really happy you liked this one!...
Yeah George Kollias is awesome but can we spare some applause for that trombone player?
Ye dude that trombone is fuckin gnarly
They are all ripping it up, but that solo does stick out!
He's Antoni's Andreou one of the greatest musicians in his, and not only, generation! He's also the trombone player of Pink Martini!
Feel bad for his wife, and that sax players wife tbh. Legend has it they’re still catching their breath....
I agree
Thanks so much everyone!
Reference Pure here too, 20 kick, 10 tom, 14 floor with a Masters Legend snare. Sabian Artisans and Legend cymbals, sounded killer!
It's way more fun to post a "band clip" than just jamming so here you go...Very glad you like it!
thank you again folks!
6:22 you can take George out of Nile but you cant take Nile out of George
Five years after, I still believe that this comment is one of the best in the whole RUclips
Probably the first jazz drummer with Fleshgod Apocalypse t-shirt I've ever seen xD but truly, George has perfect sense for this kind of music as well, perfect dynamics and all...
not a jazz drummer tho not from this performance!
Agreed. Thumbs up for Kollias and Fleshgod.
this video is for all those idiots who say George can only play blast beats with triggers on his bass drums. Keep up the good work Sir Kollias, youre a champ.
Winter Sun It's not only that, bro. In his DVD lessons he says that he uses triggers only live cuz mics can't get the bass drum to sound normally on such high speeds when playing on a stadium etc. In the studio he uses microphones on the bass drums, so this argument is soooooooooo wrong. :)
Trigger hating is only for the ignorant anyways so...
He is a genuine player , a genuine player can play anything ....
Dig it.....Nuff said
Jazz drummers have no chance to play metal but metal drummers can easily play jazz
6:16
You can do it George, just hold it in!
hahahaha just itching for a one foot blast there
must...not...blast!
Jajajja. I think the same!
that trombone player man...
Yeah he is crazy good
Nile needs more saxophone in it...
+Trashman Scooter Sacrilege....
+Trashman Scooter
and more cowbell
Why ? It really could be THAT epic !
Have you tried Dark Hall's "The Pharaoh and the Nomad" ?
Give it a try, and maybe you will reconsider the "sacrilege" ;)
words can not describe how happy it makes me to see gk playing something other than metal
all metalheads like something different musically than metal :D
Outo John True man. When i sarted listening to metal my musical preferences directly started to grow . Now im listing from Nile to Mendelssohn and i also love jazz :F
Outo John yeah, for example I like black metal in addition to metal.
@@oldscorpion1623 HAHAHA
Most of the best musicians inside the metal genre plays not only 1 extra genre, but usually a wide range of genres. Even by just appreciation...if you only listen to a genre, you are (for sure) losing some good stuff for you.
Specifically talking about drummers... it's veeeery common for metal drummers to play jazz as well.
When I first saw George Kollias, I just thought he was another blast beat drummer who wanted to see how fast he could move his hands and feet, but this shows me this cat has feel and taste and can play a wide variety of music equally good. Very impressed.
I know this comment is 4yrs old, but even still, you have to be pretty arrogant to think that a drummer just does what they do for the sake of it when there's a difference in showing and doing what you do because the music you play calls for it.
Brutal as usual...
He looks like he's holding back with so much restraint knowing at any second he could fucking blast away and crumble the surrounding room to smithereens if he wanted.
So true man I laughed my ass off!
+MrBibbityBop Phahahahahaaa! I can just imagine that.
Playing this requires as much skill as blasting at 300 bpm. So i doubt a master drummer like george kollias was even thinking that way.
No hes probably thinking about how best to serve the song and thinking about his timing not how he could ruin it by blasting where its not called for. The fact hes playing this just shows how versatile he is and gives me even more respect for his ability.
@@anirbankundu6581 Absolutely fucking not 300 blast beats are stupid fast.
You shall not blaaast!
GexxOn 😂😂😂😂👍
I just noticed, hes wearing fleshgod apocalypse amd hes playing something jazzy, kick ass
+Fluffy Mc.Scuzlebottum i dont know why , but i was sure he enjoys jazz and fleshgod
its funk. not jazz. its funk and not jazz. xD
And some people say that George don´t have any groove in his playing!!!
+EvulMe that would be true for some of his playing, certainly not this
this! People don't get this mostly, they see some metal drummer blasting his ass off for 10 mins and they go:
''Dude this is shit!''
This drummer has no soul/groove''. Different styles demand a different approach, it doesn't make a black metal drummer less skilled than your groovalicious funk drummer.
Some People man!
I love his technique, feeling, and t shirt
this is why i respect George he can plays various styles.
Excelente !!!!!!!! Músicos de un nivel altísimo ......... GEORGE UN DISTINTO!!!!!!saludos desde Rosario Argentina
Metal drummers in metal bands don't mean they only play metal. If it's a metal band, of course it'd require metal drumming.
Exactly.
norman montano it can be only so sometimes however. it depends more on what the player listens to.
Less accomplished drummers just want to believe that great metal drummers can only play fast, metal songs, because they don't have the speed or stamina to perform most metal songs, let alone a respectable level of technical skill.
John from origin was classical trained in drums. Before playing metal.
@@maxmillman9477another one! Another genius metalhead !
Shall Blast Shall Be Stopped
imagine George at a Buddy Rich tribute
(Thinking) Come on, last song. i can make it. lol He'd make it
Ben Michalowicz
Nah not sure about that man... I mean, it's Buddy Rich... nobody can outplay him :D
Slayer Are you sure? I know Rich was fast as fuck back in the day, but George is insanely talented, very few if no other drummers do extreme metal and jazz. He is used to speed.
he'll be like ok, *starts swinging* fuck this , *blast beats the fuck out of the tribute*
@@DoubleCGamesStudios
Buddy Rich tribute requires top notch left hand traditional grip hand technique. As far as I know, the only drummer who has achieved this level of skill is jojo mayer.
Dude, I had no idea people could play the trombone like that. That is insane!
Holy sh*t, Austin Powers on sax!! :)
I love how people will talk shit about George being just a good metal drummer and then he plays this just for fun! Death metal drummers are usually by far the most versatile!
George's mind "must resist blastbeat...."
Oh god…I’m gonna blast..!!
jazz to music is like manual to driving.
once you learn Manual you can play/drive anything?
Hell yeah, brother! Let'r rip, 'tater chip!
This proves that he is not only the greatest metal drummer of all time but he is very skilled in all styles not just metal.
Came here for George, stayed for the Trombone solo :^)
Absolutely INCREDIBLE jam session! MASTERCLASS!
0:27 - Oh god, can i blast already??
I always admired his work as a metal drummer, now as a jazz drummer then, speechless! Amazing!!!
Look at George at 7:10 he's just like "oh yeah, this groove rocks"
This band got a good exposition with George Kollias. He's definitely not the drummer for a jazz project, but made it so well for the band to bring it to a larger audience.
6:04 bass drum :O :O
George, you're simply tze best even by just playing funky style!!
is there anything GK can't play outstanding drummer
Smoke on the water.
Chetan S
lol yeah I'm sure he'd have trouble with that complex song
Chetan S P
I'd love to see Ian Paice try to get close to George
Apples and Oranges the bar of drumming has been raised so high I honestly don't believe Mike Portnoy can play that fast I know Mangini
can't he said it in an interview not saying these guys aren't great drummer's just not on this level at all
A Tabish
steve smith, jojo mayer, enough said.
Slayer
LMAO yeah check out David Diepold. Jan Benkwitz. Krimh. Ken Bendine. Luke Holland
New World out there
Kollias you are one diverse and dynamic drummer. Learning how to play metal really teaches on to clean up their playing, a problem with a lot of Jazz players.
Dude can play anything.
george is a true musician; coz of his variety idea.simply.
The drummer: *dont play The Violation*
*dont play The Violation*
*dont play The Violation*
*dont play The Violation*
Also him: maybe a lil 6:22
that is what I would describe as tallented, very skilled and versatile drummer. I was growing up listening death metal band but now my taste in music changed so I really appriciate listening metal drummers playing other styles of music :). Thumbs up
The Brutal Jazz
Amazing drummer, George Kollias is something else!!
I can see the disappointment on George's face, he can't blast.
His look at at 6:47... "How much time till the end?"
the great thing about tha,t is that noone can now say, he cant play anything else apart from metal!! good job george!
a friend of me sayd, that gk is a jazzdrummer, but i have not believe it, now i see it
+Nihilist Joey Jordison too.... he won quite a few jazz drumming comps when he was a kid...
+lukeskywalker
but JJ is sadly not as good as george
Yeah agreed, I think even Jay Weinberg is doing a better job than joey in slipknot... I don't know if anyone can really compare to george... Only Hannes Grossman in my mind... but still, they have rather different styles and approaches...
lukeskywalker lets say it like this. In the late times of joey he was very sloppy and bored during live shows cause he was depressed and on drugs. But if you look at one of his performances before pauls death, RaR 2009 or london arena 2002 you will know why I tell you now that he was way way better than jay ever was. In the early times of slipknot joey was for real the best nu metal drummer on the world. And yeah, there isn't really anyone who is compareable with george... maybe nils dominator from dark funeral. hes also a sick dude blasting for like 20 sec at 285 bpm. Or trey williams from dying fetus
I can't really comment on the live performances... however we will prob have to wait and see when jay finally writes his own drum tracks for slipknot. I understand that clown wrote the drums for the gray chapter... Funny thing tho, I think Jays dad is actually way better than Jay...
Now this is professional! Extreme metal drummer plays big band music! Love it!!
"George Kollias is only a fast drummer, he has no groove."
HOLD MY BEER
Memo from GK: "OK, guys, tomorrow is Vid Day; wear a BLACK "T" or I'm sending you home to get one! It's an Art Director thing---my black kit... the backdrop---but I also like to think of it as... a SOLIDARITY thing. Please, guys, a BLACK "T"; don't force me to be a hard ass about this! Love, G."
*Comes in with a Fleshgod Apocalypse shirt with design covering the entire front*
This drummer is an illusion og George...George never plays with open eyes!
I feel like im fixing my car in Gran Turismo
How could have this comment been so underrated for these many years?
That horn section...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
People get this misguided conception that if you play metal, that's all you do. I have so much respect for George for not labeling himself in one particular genre. love the funky side of George Kollias!
Thats my Tempo
I will repeat myself.
George, you are my hero.
You are my blessing and my curse.
May the Gods bless you
The guitarist could pass for George's brother
6:22... perfect shot of metal drumming put into jazz from just about the best drummer on the planet!!
I did remember driver videogame
Dude shredded that sax👏👏👏
he plays jazz amazingly! however, he wears t-shirt printed Fleshgod Apocalypse. :) his heart is in metal music, haha.
this isnt jazz tho!!!
This is a super group!!!!! I remember when you did this-- insane--
This is not jazz this is funk. Read the description
My friend, this is Jazz. Funk doesn't have Swing. Well, at least not traditional Funk. Listen to the Piano, The guitar, The Rhythm. These are all Characteristics of Jazz music. Plus, don't think it's Funk just because it says so in the Description.. Trust your Ears.
Ilan Bronshtein So you're saying the person who performed this song is wrong?
this is funk ..or funky ...I get what nickster says when he says its not jazz ..lotta metal cats think this funk music and big band boring swing is what we mean by can he play jazz ..we think bop ..like the records philly joe art blakey max roach played on etc.....this is funk ...when i think of jazz i think of a bebop ..this is not close to bebop at all !!!!!its not bad but its not jazz .....or what us jazzers think when we say can he play jazz !!!!
I'd call this jazz fusion. It's definitely not straight ahead jazz/bebop but I wouldn't call it funk either. Funk is usually a lot more driving/groovy (this swings like Ilan said) and doesn't have so much emphasis on individual solos as far as I know, that's more of a jazz thing. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day since both genres have changed so much over the ages, modern jazz probably would probably horrify the bebopers of the 50s and 60s (not that that's a bad thing).
Yup that's what I was gonna say, jazz fusion!
George Kollias Wearing a Fleshgod Apocalypse shirt, the awesomeness going beyond!!!
Not a big fan of his blast beat focused style of death metal drumming, but this thing right here. This man clearly knows his craft. It's his versatility that blows my mind.
Search the tube for:
George Kollias: Best death metal drummer ever
Man, respect to this drummer, not only is he an awsome jazz-funk drummer, but he is one of, (if not) the best death metal drummers in the world. Ellas!
Death metal drummer playing jazz.. could jazz drummer play death metal?
It surprises me to see how surprised people are here in the comment section that George can play something else beside DM. Real musicians will always have a wide range of capabilities and taste.
6:20 he showed a bit of his nile face
Brilliant,simply brilliant!
Could use some blast beats, good feel and tune regardless.
great video George. it reminds me of my days in jazz band at high school. i miss those days
mistakes??? where...
nice t shirt btw...
Mindfulness and meditation got George through this jam. It’s way cooler just for the fact that he is on drums.
the truth is only metal musicians have the ability to play almost all kind of music because metal music is the most extreme music and requires a lots of music knowledge
+Alex Papas if you want to become a really good (metal) drummer, you have to learn lots of styles
+Kraxe6sic6 it all starts with Jazz
it starts all with a teacher and controll ;-)
+Alex Papas Depends, man. Actually, nowadays there are too many unprofessional metal musicians. Both knowledge-wise and technically.
+Alex Papas Many metal musicians (not all of them but many) are the most closed-minded people along with jazz musicians. I've seen more versatility in rock/fusion players, just like Vinnie Colaiuta, Gregg Bissonette, Simon Phillips, Gavin Harrison. You can see these guys in many different situations where metal and jazz drummers don't even dare.
I'm a metalhead to the core and I fucking LOVE this song. I would go see this live.
This jam is in severe need of a bass guitar in.
It's not jazz it's funk. Everyone in the comment section that said it was jazz needs to read the description
This is why I love you George. A lot of the more intense metal drummers can't groove at all, they're just machines with amazing speed and endurance. You have the speed and endurance, but you can also groove in the pocket. Much more well rounded than a lot of metal drummers. I love it. =] Cheers.
This is probably the coolest video I've watched in a very long time, not only can Kollias out-metal anyone, he can also out-jazz anyone :P
George Kollias is a consummate professional. This guy can play it all!
Whaaatt?? 😲😲Amazing... Mr, George Kollias play Jazz.. Waow.. Amazing!!
i heard that blast in there. couldnt resist i see... sounded good though.
LOL still reppin' death metal with the jazz going on. Too good George haha. All around amazing performance.
Perfect drummer, in all styles
That sax solo damn !
i listen to everything from jazz to metal and this is awesome!
Mind blown.. Amazing.
awesome! first time i see kollias with this kind of music!
... nothing less than 'excellent'!! cheers!!
You have always been a god in my heart a lover from Kunming, Yunnan, China
Man, respect to you all for an amazing job! The groove, the fills, the solos, and basically everything is awesome, congrats!!!!
out of the comfort zone! love the versatility...not just a metal drummer.
great drummer!!awesome band!!!
trombone player is nuts too lol crazy lineup
George is a badass no matter what type of music he's playing - this proves it
