IMO! Brann Dailor and Nicko should be lower. Why the fuck Vinnie Paul is that low is beyond me <_>

Its_Meh_Chew

this list was made in early 2009. I'm surprised Dailor even made the list (he's an amazing drummer but its rolling stone) but then i realized that Rolling Stone has actually covered Mastodon since at least 05.

^I think the exact opposite of you man, Dailor and McBrain should be much higher and Vinnie Paul should be much lower.

No Buddy Rich though...wtf?

cannibiscorpse

HAHA FUCK YOU LARS ULRICH! and im glad lombardo is high up there

MarcTheFallen

"^I think the exact opposite of you man, Dailor and McBrain should be much higher and Vinnie Paul should be much lower."

well that's what I meant. should have worded that more better. Dailor and Nicko are 100% better then Vinnie and should be higher.

Its_Meh_Chew

i was actually shocked to read that NPR (which is public radio and mostly does classy music) acutally listed Leviathan as one of the decade's most important recordings

Episode

Credible list is......credible? Holy SHIT.

"i was actually shocked to read that NPR (which is public radio and mostly does classy music) acutally listed Leviathan as one of the decade's most important recordings"

NPR actually has some seriously smart people talking about music over there sometimes.

Necrothulhu

FUCK LARS!!! HE SHOULD BE DEAD FUCKING LAST LET ALONE ON IT AT ALL!!!! >_<

MarcTheFallen

lol

OPP

Hoglan didn't even come on until the late 70s on that list. I was starting to get pissed.

JLRedWing13

Lars can drum. Just accept it and move on. <_>

Stratophony

Mike Mangini isn't on the list.... It has no credibility

Santana

Well they had about 3 of my drummers up there

Seeing Dave lambardo at 12 and Paul bostaph and 86 is just a bunch of fail

rammstein516

Where in the fuck is Inferno!?!?

Santana

^this
and where is frost???

drinkwine732

"Where in the fuck is Inferno!?!?"
"and where is frost???"

Jesus christ, this is Rolling Stone, don't expect them to have some obscure metal drummers on there.

"Mike Mangini isn't on the list.... It has no credibility "

Annihilator aren't getting on any lists soon man...

Its_Meh_Chew

be lucky that Holigan and Dailor made the list at all

Its_Meh_Chew

Also Nicholas Barker made the list, and he was really only on 2 Dimmu albums, so he'd be considered obscure right?

Santana

Frost and inferno are great though
