i'm not sure how the thread made it this far without mentioning the sacking of ex-radiohead stickman phil selway

The general media blackout is more perplexing still

3 members of radiohead have been sacked, you'd expect p4k or someone to notice.

I've heard of lazy journalism but damn

Gay Dad was a lot better without their drummer too

3 members of Rhead are gone? who's left?

Thom Yorke's nose

everyone except for jonny (and thom, obviously) were sacked after they realized they could just play as a trio with tom skinner.

their debut was a few weeks ago at digital glastonbury

spacemen 3 and spectrum seem to resent having to use drums on their albums, even most of their rockier stuff is like “ok bass drum, tambourine, some crash symbols every now and then and were good”. maybe it’s part of why the relentless drum machining on “revolution” sounds so shocking and intense

what I saw about Radiohead was that it's a side project called Smile

Don't you believe it, they did a succesful trial run several years ago with a cr78 before recruiting skinner

I liked the drumming on earlier Tangerine Dream records, but it was a good idea not to use any on Zeit.

The drummer was still in the group, though.

yeah, he hit the sack for that record.

Could the poster Karl 'Sticks' Malone please tell us about their experience of being abandoned at a gas station by Portugal. The man? What was that like?

Deflatormouse, Saturday, 3 July 2021 13:37 (two years ago) link

How would you rate the other drummers Portugal. The man have left at a bus station, Sticks?

i wasn't the first drummer for P.tm. i found them at an after party for Relix. i was very out of it and confused as to what their group was. it was all the way new orleans with them before the beignets finally won out and i had to go

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 16:52 (two years ago) link

they were definitely better off without me, i disagreed with their entire direction in retrospect, although they are VERY nice

Suicide never needed a drummer and that’s explicitly what they were going for.

I like the drum machine on The Jesus & Mary Chain's Darklands but I wouldn't say it made the band better.
