I don't like zepp like I used too, megadeath is good, slayer is ok and I do like me some rush songs, Mainly tom sawyer because it has some meaning to me .... private story. I'm a huge ac/dc fan too especially 74 jailbreak. I like a lot of g'nr music too. One thing I like to do is read rock in roll books and I really enjoyed the motley crue one. I need to get the keith richards book but will wait until I can get a used cheap copy.

Breaking the law ... breaking the law ...
I like priest also and skynyrd is in my top 5 list. Just wonder what they could have been if that plane hadn't crashed. So many songs I love from a band that wasn't around long.

For me the Top 3 Metal Drummers would go like This Nicco Mc Brain from Iron Maiden Peter Criss of Kiss and Tommy Lee of Motley Crrue. Lars if you took away that double bass he is useless.

I listen to a lot of what is listed. My comment is more towards why music is now the way it is. In part due to perception. The following quote is an example.

Here is why. The first thing that sticks out to me is the Lars Comment. Lars (during the time) was/is one of the best drummers to get behind the kit. His tempo management and difference in time from his feet and his hands is what does this. The comment about taking away his double bass and he sucks is as asinine as saying Take away Jimmy Hendrix distortion guitar and he sucks. That is why they are/were great. Their innovation.
Nicco McBrain, while a solid drummer, basically plays the same thing in every song. Peter criss....come on...everyone knows KISS is big because of their live performances...not their musicianship...they have never been stellar musicians..2/2 and 4/4 time is standard drumming. Tommy Lee I can give some credit too...but when you compare him to other drummers, he doesn't hold the same candle. The drummers listed...are drummers in bands that put on a great VISUAL performance.
There was another comment about early Metallica being the music they made in the early 90's.....uh no...that is when they changed...and became packaged radio crap. Early Metallica is from the 1980's.
