    For those who don't know, John used to work for Charlie (he was the drum tech for Anthrax). He began recording in 1990, when Exodus hired him to play on two of their albums while their original drummer was on leave. He then would go on to play for Testament, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, Helmet, and the Cult.

    All of them are unique and great in their own way. Charlie is my favorite. So smooth and powerful. Like liquid. What he plays in Anthrax is a small part of what he is really capable of. I bet he could easily hold his own with Donati, Lang, Minneman and others. He did a drum duet with Mike Portnoy a few years ago and was simply amazing, ripping out Dream Theater parts like it was nothing. And Portnoys parts ard pretty involved.

    Lars pudo haber sido un gran baterista pero en el momento que Metallica ganó carretadas de dinero él dejó de practicar y se dedicó a disfrutar la buena vida. Estos músicos (Donati, Tempesta, Benante, etc) son gente que les apasiona su instrumento y día a día siguen practicando y creciendo como músicos. Para Lars la música fue un medio para ganar dinero, un trabajo el cual lo hace para seguir viviendo bien, no es pecado ganar dinero de ello al contrario, pero como en todas las profesiones, cada día debes actualizarte y Lars no lo hizo, que enseñaría en una clínica? Tocar One? En el video de la gira del Black album toca un "solo" que realmente es para dar pena, demasiado básico para esos niveles.

    Used to be a big fan of Donati (or guys like Lang, Grebb, Smith, Mayer Minemann etc...) even tho i could only graps à little of what he is doing, but personally the technique for the sake of technique itself is just plain boring, it makes you look more like a freak you'd see at a circus show than really anything enjoyable, proof most of these jazz classical elitist you see during jazz shows are just here for technique wankery because they all feel themselves "so much out there" (the same with pro chefs in cooking, or ultra realistic painters etc in art)..., I really prefer raw power, easy to grasp, it can be anything from metal to jazz or samba really, just make it musical !

    • @That_Idiot_Bass_Player
      @That_Idiot_Bass_Player 5 років тому +1

      Meh, it's just the idiom. It's not hard to get distracted by technique, but if you always have that depth of technical ability it's not necessarily about technique anymore to the player. In Virgil's case for example, he wouldn't be getting the work he does if he was just crapping out technique and not bringing actual musical ideas to the table and showing he can interact musically with others. Don't characterize other people's motivations, you can only truly speak to your own.
