Who is the greatest drummer ever?

― dave q, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Also, why do so many bands go straight to shit after losing their LEAST 'talented' member? (Discuss in re above bands, Roxy Music, Spice Girls)

This happened when The Hellacopters lost Dregen, who can't play a lick.

Posh was the last one to leave the Spice Girls, wasn't she?

i know the answer to the "least talented member" question, but i have paraded it so often on ilm that i am going to pretend to be offended that dave q doesn't read my wack theories (the name of the theory is JULIA LENNON IS STILL ON-STAGE btw, but that is not terribly helpful heh)

Dave Q I thought you didn't like bad drummers who can't play to click tracks etc. etc. But anyway McCarroll's drumming for Oasis was better (technically poor but spirited) than his replacement Steve White who always sounds a bit feeble for some reason.

Actually David I agree - I lost interest in Oasis when they switched from that cretinous glam stomp ("Supersonic" esp!) to that flaccid indie-dance drumming that sounds like brushwork even when it's not

To make it all more bemusing, Noel is apparently actually the drummer on many tracks from the McCarroll days...

best drummer= one armed def leopard guy

― geeg, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Beatles, Van Halen, The Who.

Has the Def Leopard drummer actually improved since being reduced to the single arm?

― Kris England, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

He's improved since being demoted to human sequencer.

― Kris, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

machines are always better than people
