Thank you DRUMTALK!!! Charlie is criminally overlooked in the drumming world . Such a well rounded drummer definately one of my favourite drummers of all time
Totally love Charlie and all of Anthrax, but in regards to being the first to blast beat, 1974, Death, Politicians In My Eyes is a good example of it being done before Charlie: ua-cam.com/video/rl3FstCc_OY/v-deo.html
Charlie is simply an amazing drummer. I first saw him when they opened up for Ozzy in 1988. I had never heard drums played at those speeds so effortlessly. And not just how fast he is, but the abilities that he has to play what he plays. And also that he is a composer an artist and has developed those skills to a high degree is awesome.
Well done! This guy played in to my ears decades long, especially in the 80s and the 90s. I bought the Among the living Casette at least 4 times and the CD 3 times. Nice to see him being so candid and direct. And yes, We also enjoyed the conversation. Thank you both!
@@sguerilla6142 yeah I'd love to, but how do you think can I pull this off right now? dunno where you're based but where Nick & I live (not the same country btw) there are some heavy obstacles right now....
@@drumtalkofficial I answered you but I don't see where it is. ok. I understand you completely, I didn't even think you could find Nick now because this corona shit has disrupted life on the planet. people have been looking for an interview with Nick since the beginning when you started working on the channel. Nick is one of the best drummers for many of us who listen to extreme metal. I think you could have interviewed him much earlier, that's the point of my comment. thank you for everything you do, even though I'm not a drummer I enjoy watching legends and their life stories. take care, greetings from Serbia!
Charlie is one of my favorite drummers in metal and love that he appreciates other music and musicians like Dave Matthews drummer. Quick story: Back around '88 when Anthrax was touring with Ozzy, they came through New Haven Coliseum (demolitioned over 15 years ago). During Ozzy's set Charlie came out to the side of the security/press pit section located stage front. He hung there for quite a while digging Ozzy and his band and chatting with fans in the front row while smoking a cig. Back when he had big and long hair, ripped jeans, high top sneakers with the tongue in front of the bottom of the pant leg, t-shirt and denim jacket made into a vest. A lot of us local metalheads looked exactly like that back then, so much so it looked almost like a uniform especially when there was a bunch of us hanging out lol. Looking at Charlie now all clean cut, casually dressed and looking like he takes care of himself very well, you'd never know it was the same guy that was once upon a time under all that hair. Anyway, he comes off as a genuine decent, good human. He seemed that way back in '88 and to this day so he's obviously a pretty grounded individual and it's nice to see that he still loves what he does and can still pound the skins like it's still the 80's. And yes, Anthrax fucking kicked ass in New Haven that evening. They brought the noise and didn't let up the whole show. Geezer was touring with Ozzy in 88 so he was there and of course Ozzy's band was incredible too. Zakk spit a loogie up in the air to catch it when it came down but he missed and it hit his face lol. He rocked nonetheless. I was 14 years old at the time and snuck out of the house to go so...this show has a special place in my earliest concert memories.
I always thought Charlie was a great drummer especialy for thrash metal. With all of his quarentine videos playing Rush and a ton of other styles of music, as well as playing guitar and keys, Charlie has become one of my favorites. Great person.
Saw Anthrax when the Headbanger's Ball tour , damn I'm old. But I had to respect Charlie when I found out he writes the guitar parts for a huge amount of Anthrax's songs. Persistence of Time is an album/CD, that I haven't listened to in a long time, think I shall, its crunchy
When I was a kid, I loved Anthrax. I saw them not long ago and they, WAY, still have it. I always thought Charlie was the most precise of the thrash drummers. Lots of guys were fast. Charlie was like a human machine before machines took over most music. He just stood out.
CHARLIE IS THE MAN!! !!! 30+ yrs ago you guys helped a kid have something that this kid living in the middle of Wyoming needed and then I somehow got a very re-re-ecorded tape that I rerecorded and still have of SOD blew my mind! Still does! You guys have given me so much! Gave me something I could relate to. It was so Badassl to see Charlie play with Phil and so cool we got to be a part of his B-day. I finally got the Jackpot in Vegas glad this video showed up in my recommends! YTube knows what I like and I'm not easy to please. I hate pop .....it's freaking awesome that there is stuff like this being made for guys and gals like us. Thank you!
I'm not a huge Dave Matthew's fan, but Carter Beauford is undoubtedly one of the tastiest drummers on the planet. Everything he plays is gold. And of course Charlie is an amazing drummer too. I hope I get to see him live some day...
For a metal drummer who is creative, interesting, tasteful, can combine speed, power, composition, and subtlety, like no one else. He was in Soilwork, but he's now in Megadeth.
I love how the interviewer helped Charlie open up. He was closed up in the beginning and just really showed his humanity by the end. Being able to put the humanity to the music that I love makes it even better! Love you Charlie!! Oh Thomas Hake was inspired by Charlie and Anthrax. No Charlie no Thomas maybe?
Phenomenal interview, Charlie has been one of top drummers in my list of favorites and this interview reinforces that opinion ten fold. Thanks Drumtalk and Charlie.
Charlie Benante....what can I say about this guy? A monster of blast beats in thrash metal. One of the best...Definitely. One of the main drummers who got me so hooked up in the 80's thrash metal scene. Later on, S.O.D. Of all the the S.O.D. songs besides the famous "Milk", I believe "Charlie Don't Cheat" and "Skool Bus" have the craziest drumming ever.
drumtalk delivers it again! thanks for having Charlie over. he's been such an inspiration for so many years, and completely overlooked by bigger outlets
I tried to engage some people in a conversation about the tom sound on Shoot To Thrill and they didn't understand me. Thank fuck that Charlie is on the same wavelength. Great interview as usual. Vielen Dank!
@@dmitryowens When you watch acdc let there be rock live video of their gig in Paris the energy that Phil Rudd puts into his playing is amazing to watch, Rudd, Adler, Mcbrain, Benantte, Lombardo and finally Steve ashiem of deicide are some of the best rock, metal and death metal drummers who have ever played.
I love how they're getting longer and longer over time! This is gold, such a wealth of inspiration on your channel. Absolutely love it! Thank you for doing it! Get some sticks or drum related merch going, I'd totally buy it! Wonderful stuff, thank you Philip!
thank you so much Bogdan! thanks a buch!! and yeah, most of those talks are quite long this time :-) about the merch -- I'm still looking for a design that is so cool that you even don't have to like or know the channel to buy it. good things need time and inspiration
Nick Barker, very cool. I have his EZ Drummer and love his playing. Ever check out Dirk Verbeuren? Was in Soilwork, is now in Megadeth. Speed, power, taste, creativity, subtlety...
Charlie is on of the greatest!!! I love the way they hit the drums with furious power and excellent precision..Please make also an interview to John Tempesta!!
Damn dude, he's right. Charlie benante is the OG of blast beats. He neeeds to get the credit deserved. High under rated drummer. BTW anthrax live is one of the best metal shows you can see PERIOD. so much energy
Met 🤘 ANTHRAX 🤘 Among the Living tour in Phoenix AZ and I still have the signed album cover. One of my most favorite albums. Love CHARLIE BENANTE one of my most favorite drummers. Like Charlie I too learned a lot from IRON MAIDEN my all time favorite bands. 🤘 UP THE IRONS 🤘
Great interview, great vid, great drummer. One of my all time favorites. Charlie seems like such a cool dude and of course he is a monster behind the kit. Well done!
thank you so much! I absolutely enjoyed the making of this one -- those big shows in big venues usually are way more stressful than the usual 3K people shows. Charlie's cool and relaxed mood really helped me to shift gears down a little
Charlie Benantte and Dave Lombardo are the reason why thrash metal sounded so aggressive and powerful back in the 80s among the living and reign in blood were game changers for every aspiring metal drummer back in the day, and the last album that anthrax did was as if it came straight from the 80s , for all kings is my favourite anthrax album, I've been a fan since 85 , among the living was my favourite anthrax album until I heard for all kings, none of the big 4 have done an album after 2010 that was anywhere near as good as their early stuff, world painted blood was the last good album slayer did.
thank you so much Yanus! btw -- thanks for commenting the smart a**. I just withdrew myself from answering those people who combine critique (may it be valid or not) with insults. ;-)
I like the first 3 anthrax albims and i iove SOD.Charlie is a huge influence for me....fast.clean.master at blast.awesome drummer.John Tempesta was his drum tech and he is great as well
@drumtalk this comes late, but THANKS adding to the part "we are athletes" : we fucking are, can speak for myselfe as an amature metal drummer And Charlie mentions Thomas Haake ... man, Bleed is such an awesome song and Meshuggah is one of my favorite bands
I think this guy is one of the first drummers to do blastbeats? Great drummer, crazy with double bass before most others, listen to Gung Ho on STD, man that is fast!!
People need to fuckin realize that Charlie Benante is one of the best drummers on the face of the earth. Till this day, it seems like drummers, especially from metal bands, don't get the respect that they rightfully deserve.🤦🏾♂️
Since the mid 80's I've been caught in a mosh. Would love to focus my Nikon D850 at Mr. Benante to try to capture those cymbal crashes and those beads of sweat. It helps to know the music! Imagine my surprise when I discovered, as a 17 year old kid that the Anthrax Drummer and rhythm guitarist were in S.O.D #MindBlown ... Some of my concert shots @Lens_Dust
He's one of the first wave of drummers playing in really heavy and fast metal bands. It will be interesting to watch for how long guys like him, Lombardo, Bostaph, will be able to carry on. For the obvious reasons I don't take Lars into consideration being a shadow of former self.
I play guitar bass sax, never cared for drums, till "Sound of White Noise" (Anthrax) Still don't know shit about drums but I started to pay attention to them. Interesting that Charlie mentions Phil Rudd because they both are my favorite drummers.
Re; the blast beat comment - While I remember hearing jazz guys like Buddy Rich use them for small bursts, I think Charlie was def the first person to use it as a beat.
Love Anthrax and Benantes drumming. But he invented the blastbeat? Yeah, and my granny discovered quantum mechanics.... Charlie, you don’t have to claim this invention - you are a monumental drummer all the same😀

silky smooth w a nice backbeat, downbeat, or where ever beat

Spreading the disease European tour with Overkill 1986 😁 still one of my favorite shows ever
Yep, guitar parts and the art director

Nope, as D.R.I, Siege, Asocial (Sweden) and NYC Mayhem all beat him to it, and that's considering hardcore and metal only.

The best. A fan since 1985, seen Anthrax 7 times, and saw them last year save NINs ass at Riotfest in Chicago. Such a professional and awesome dude.
Everything Charlie plays is great, I have found inspiration in absolutely everything he has recorded.

A very smarttalk with Charlie Benante!!!!
Saxon still kicking ass!

adding to the part "we are athletes" : we fucking are, can speak for myselfe as an amature metal drummer
And Charlie mentions Thomas Haake ... man, Bleed is such an awesome song and Meshuggah is one of my favorite bands
Charlie seems like a really cool guy. He definitely is underrated as a drummer.
BTW, those were some really great questions, especially about starting out with little in the way of influences. Keep up the good work!
thanks a lot Michael! some were prepared, but those that weren't came out good since Charlie is such a very nice, smart and super relaxed opponent
The first blast beat ever played was in the song 'The barbarian' from emerson lake e palmer's self titled. Great interview!
This is what everybody call understatement.
Nice to get to knot Mr. Benante. I got their Among the living-album.
The greatest drummer of the classic thrash bands.
They're all different, and all great!
Yes!! Milk was the first blast beat! I used to love that! Charlie is a pioneer. Wish he was my neighbor.
The best of the Big4 drummers. If Gar Samuelson was still alive he could give Charlie a fight but Charlie would get him too!
it would dave then charlie
Early Iron Maiden was what started it for me. And Caught In A Mosh live just totally melted face. Charlie !!!
I think this guy is one of the first drummers to do blastbeats? Great drummer, crazy with double bass before most others, listen to Gung Ho on STD, man that is fast!!
Plenty of bands as early as 82' were doing blast beats. ua-cam.com/video/G7rVuEeQwMk/v-deo.html
Great interview! and Charlie is a monster!!
People need to fuckin realize that Charlie Benante is one of the best drummers on the face of the earth. Till this day, it seems like drummers, especially from metal bands, don't get the respect that they rightfully deserve.🤦🏾♂️
Charlie is a way-cool dude. And I felt the same way when my mom passed away - everything kind of lost it's meaning for a while, music included.
Legend!!
Since the mid 80's I've been caught in a mosh. Would love to focus my Nikon D850 at Mr. Benante to try to capture those cymbal crashes and those beads of sweat. It helps to know the music!
Imagine my surprise when I discovered, as a 17 year old kid that the Anthrax Drummer and rhythm guitarist were in S.O.D #MindBlown ... Some of my concert shots @Lens_Dust
great! thanks!
The Chief rules 🥁💯
Great music is timeless❤️👌🎉
He’s mastered his technique is impeccable his timing unflinching his power devastating oh my god I’m gay
lol
A Nicko mcbrain interview would be good.
This guy is 61 years old , currently. Whaaaaaa....?
I just stared to dig a bit deeper into anthrax and man, CB is kinda under rated as a drummer!
He's one of the first wave of drummers playing in really heavy and fast metal bands. It will be interesting to watch for how long guys like him, Lombardo, Bostaph, will be able to carry on. For the obvious reasons I don't take Lars into consideration being a shadow of former self.
Anthrax isn't my favorite of The Big 4 but it's hard to deny Charlie is the most skilled drummer of the bunch.
This was dope!
Respect
Charlie looks so fresh for his age
Charlie don't cheat
Charlie hasn’t aged a day
I play guitar bass sax, never cared for drums, till "Sound of White Noise" (Anthrax) Still don't know shit about drums but I started to pay attention to them.

He didn't say he invented it, he just thinks that he is the first one to have it on an ALBUM, not a demo. That's all.
Ahh, I stand corrected😀
Charlie is great. That fill in the intro to keep it in the family . what the f***
how does he do that?
We love you in Québec City👏👏👏👏🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🥁🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Now post pandemic 2023 Anthrax cancelling tours due to insane price increases being on the road. Others as well.
Charlie benante is the best drumer in the world my favorite 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wharever 🤘
this kicks ass!
Yes indeed! Charlie Benante, the one and only inventor of the blastbeat.
"No Sense" by D.R.I. is from 1983
Ghost of Mars soundtrack is great!
