I like the drummer but can’t stand the band

[Topsy Turvy]

I’m going to get drawn and quartered but here goes:

Bonham
Mitch Mitchell
Steve Jordan (with John Mayer)
Stanton Moore (with Galactic)


I should say I do like a song or two by Zepplin and Hendrix, but generally speaking I don’t like either band.

 

[CC Cirillo]

Totally Toto.

 

[Rhyma Hop]

.

WINGER !!! .. I like Rod and also Reb the guitarist is one of my favorites.

 

[pgm554]

Funny, I actually liked Black Oak Arkansas AND Tommy Aldridge.

Speaking of funny,one of BOA's guitar players (Shawn Lane) was an absolute monster,but overall they just reminded me of an act that belonged on Hee Haw.

Michael Shrieve - Not a fan of Santana but Dang! that Soul Sacrifice solo!!!

 

[Jhouse86]

Todd Sucherman. Not a styx fan. At all.
Chad Smith. Loathe RHCP.
Neil Peart. The only time I've ever listened to Rush, has been 100% for Neil.

I just don't focus that much on what I don't like.

And generally it's not so much about not liking something - but rather appreciating it for what it is, while recognizing that doesn't much interest me... doesn't excite me musically.

But maybe that's all just semantics...

Toto
Porcupine Tree/Pineapple Thief

Yup same here

 

[Steech]

I love Virgil Donati’s playing and a lot of the stuff he does with his bass players but can’t really stomach the rest of the music.

 

[Steech]

Yes! I remember thinking back around 1980 how much better the world would be if Clem Burke would quit Blondie and join The Who.

Wow. Clem with the Who would never have occurred to me.

 

[Steech]

I’ll use the Steve Smith example but the question is for those that are answering. What are the other bands or albums you like that the drummer has played on?

I like his playing with Vital Information and kinda like some of their music.

 

[JimmyM]

Wow. Clem with the Who would never have occurred to me.

I can’t picture anyone not British with them, but if you have to go American, Clem would have done pretty well I think.

When Keith Moon died Burke was the only well-known drummer who I thought could step right in without changing the band's sound. British or not, when they chose Kenny Jones I knew the band was officially finished.

I always liked Burke with Blondie but I can’t picture his style or overall feel being loose and busy enough to maintain that Mooney feel. Having said that, no one really jumps to mind on either side of the pond who could have replaced Keith adequately. Something to think about, as tons of other folks have done over the last 40 years or so.

[Grooovepig]

Styx! Love Todd but their music is really corny. "Lady" is a good track though.

 

[Trommeslager]

Meshuggah / Tomas Haake

All that screaming doesn't do it for me but that dude is a MONSTER drummer.

The screaming is best part. I wish more. World is broken.

 

[bluejacketsfan]

I'm not a fan of big band music, but I love watching Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa.
