Travesty Barker?

[Trip McNeely]

Travis barker sucks ass. I can't stand when he gets brought up in a thread or anywhere on the internet with the words "Awesome" and "Drummer" intertwined throughout.

Lol and there you have it... A person who knows nothing about drumming.

See the hatred towards Travis is due to this generation thinking he's the greatest drummer ever and debating it like they have even the slightest fucking clue when they clearly don't. Then we get split into two groups: people that have common sense and understand that Travis is a really good drummer and puts on a great show. Then wash off the retard that the nutswinger douches slobbered all over us while talking from their ass.

The next group becomes overwhelmed with the "Travis is god" bullshit and says some dumb stuff like the post above.

Do I think he is one of the greatest ever? Hell no. But he is a good drummer.... more so when you compare him to who and whats around at this moment with the current generation of music. Music has become less and less about swinging some sticks and plucking strings. Now its about who works the computer the best and which great songs from the 70's and 80's they want to take samples from.

So whats with the Travis hate? I sure aint a nut swinger but he aint a bad drummer. I just dont care for any of their music with the exception of a couple songs where I really enjoy the drumming.

His speed and precision is great.

Don't feel bad or wrong when saying you like travis. Just block out the fags that say he's the greatest or he sucks balls and can't keep a beat, and you'll be fine.

You got it right... Btw, the best drummer ever is Simon Phillips!!!!

[SS Junk]

No, he's fine for what he does. Just a little over rated by the ignorant who seem to think more convulsions during playing must mean more skill. He has done well for implementing basically nothing more than march rudiments in his playing. Good for him for finding his niche.

Another one ya'll prolly hate but I always thought was a talented drummer was/is Dave Grohl..

No reason to start getting butt hurt. Grohl is a talented motherfucker, however I only like one song he's ever done with FF. I loved what he did in Nirvana. I do respect the shit out of him. Especially pulling off playing a few Zeppelin numbers with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

If you say he is badass, then you yourself are the retard. He is nothing near bad ass, because he can bang on a drum fast and emulate a rap song. Where's his uniqueness? He has none. You want someone who is inventive and carries the standard, John Bonham.

[SS Junk]

John Bonham is and always will be number 1. /thread.

Top tier for sure, but not number one. As far as rock drummers go he and Peart share the top spot IMO. Years past and future you will hear more drummers say their influences were from the two mentioned than any other established rock drummer. I don't think it's really either one of their playing abilities per se. It's that both of them have a style like none other. Playing what they do is the "easy part." What I mean is that anyone dedicated enough can learn what is played. Delivering it with originality and feeling is a whole other animal. Watching Barker videos I am not moved to do anything other than empty my bowels. I just don't see what is special about what he does.

I changed up my original thread. lol but yeah, I always shadow you in these drummer/Barker threads because I agree with you. I hate hearing about this ass clown.

Reading comprehension own you much? Lol, where'd I say he was so badass at? Also for you to reference him doing the rap song covers just shows that you don't know his body of work. SSJunk has it right.

I'll say it again- Simon Phillips= best evar.

[Mark Preus]

Look I think we all can agree that the drummer for nickelback is the best.

[onjacks]

Danny Carey from Tool.

Look I think we all can agree that the drummer for nickelback is the best.

That's a given... We're arguing for second best.

Not butthurt. Dave Grohl is one of those musicians you love or hate. Most FF music is kinda "filler" music for their albums. They let a good one slip every now and then though. I prefer him as a drummer over a singer. He has played with some awesome people on drums and always rocks the chit out of it.

What I find amazing is hes made more money playing music than Steven Tyler, Sting, Stewart or David Bowie.
