"I don't need any hope, I am the hope" - Pete Sandoval
yeah that was epic as fuck
@@marcinmichamarszaek9737 and very true.
PETE - you on the devils’ dandruff??
Pete definitely made me have to blast. I fucking needed it in my life. They gave me a blueprint. Lee is savage as well
Long Live Commando
So you're tellin me, Pete Sandoval, the god of Death Metal drumming, didn't realize that drums were his thing till '85? The man created the foundation on Altars literally 4 years later. Unbelievable.
World Downfall,the foundation you're looking for.
What Pete does on AOM is updated versions of what Mike Browning have created
Pete Sandoval the best drummer.
He's old but gold. HAIL COMMANDO !
dulsrules old but puts mist young drummers to shame lmao
Old but puts most young drummers to shame
@Azazel Acheron Sandoval is born 21 mai 1969, not 63, even if he looks older. But still amazing, right !
Truth.
Check Dennis 'The Menace' Ritchie
The way Pete said "HELLO!" brought a smile to my face; hasn't lost his hispanic strong accent....being a latino myself love that "HELLO!" sound🤣. I loved his style when he was in Morbid Angel. HAILS TO PETE "EL COMMANDO" SANDOVAL.
I totally agree! He says it with a kind of authority if you know what I mean! I keep thinking that's the way Scarface would say it, right? 👍🤘
I always forget one of the most influential death metal drummers is from El Salvador. Wanna talk about Chicano culture that never gets brought up.
i swear there's really that distinct sound about pete's drumming, once you hear that blast beat and that snare sound/tone you know it's him
In the Morbid Angel documentary, it talks about how they listened to band that had a drum machine doing insanely fast beats. They told Pete it was a real drummer and he worked to play faster than that.
Pete is the best, his drums just blow my mind in all Morbid Angel songs.
Pete Sandoval is THE death metal drumming legend. HE is the pioneer. You all better give him the respect he deserves. He is a living legend.
He did his own standing ..
But Mike Sus is the Pionnier .
Mike browning was already too , even its a more groovier style .
Absolutely- Sandoval for sure and don't forget Mike Smith.
Thank you so much for this interview.Pete is for me,the most important death metal drummer ever.He did it by far the best back in the days.He is an AMAZING extreme/grindcore/ death metal drummer.
Pete’s Spanish accent is still thick even over the years . He sounds like my dad trying to bond with me over death metal lmao 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Pete is one of the greatest drummers of all time .... and Lee is another death metal legend !!! Thanks
I never realized I had never heard Pete speak before now, the accent totally took me by surprise. A living legend. Also loving Lee's very brilliant answers, quite an intelligent guy,
snailduck he came to the US as a teenager. Can never lose the accent like that.
something funny on Friday... =D
those videos are so terrible -- can't stand Juliya Chernetsky's way of interviewing artists
🇸🇻 ua-cam.com/video/q-dSKJ3gdEw/v-deo.html
Pete is and always will be a true innovator. I love you, and your music.
Pete is such a good person and drummer, thanks for the interview.
Un grande salvadoreño, Peter Sandoval toda una leyenda de la música desde Santa Ana, El Salvador
Pete Sandoval is slowly transforming into Tommy Wiseau.
Gabriel Iatarelli lol he really is
lmaooo
Gabriel and you look like a turkey
and lee turned into corpsegrinderhanneman
I did not hit her!
Good to see Commando talk in a interview. He's definitely a true pioneer of extreme drumming. In his 50's he can still blast. Amazing!
He's 49. Looks like 94.
Michał Włosik no hes not. Hes like 53 or 54. Look it up.
Michał Włosik 49? Lol.
He was born May 21, 1969
LycanthropicArt no he wasn't 65
Two master drummers and super cool guys.
The Commando is a fucking legend. The best drummer in death metal, PERIOD. Mad respect for this guy \m/
I'm eternally grateful for all the music these guys have made over so many years man Morbid Angel, and Terrorizer, Deicide, Entombed the bands I enjoyed as a 16 year old on his way to school on a bus so many great songs and albums and then you see them live! I drank vodka with Lars back stage of Entombed gig was one of my greatest experiences of my life these guys are human and they love what they do Metal shall never die it brings great joy.
Great interview.Pete is a true drumming legend. I’ve only seen him live once with morbid angel. I have yet to see these two gentlemen with terrorizer. Pete is a true pioneer in the extreme drumming scene. I respect all these two guys have done. God bless Pete Sandoval and his band mates.
lee harrison is underrated. what a monster musician
his playing on imperial doom is so crazy
His Monstrosity playing is the SHIT. Lee s a straight up murder on drums. Fatal Millenium, what s not to be shocked about his drumming.
He still has that accent, that's very cool! Never forget your roots Pete
"What do you like playing"! Pete keeps it real as can be.
Pete was always so nice in person. He's gotten me stoned after a Morbid Angel show more than a few times.
Was he a stoner? Haha
Still is i guess @@atomikwarfare3862
I would love to see an interview with Chris Reifert from Autopsy
Marek Iks von Azsał same
🤣 Hell yeah.
There are loads of interviews with Chris. Reifert on UA-cam ,check out “ Violation Wound”
He's a talented dude for sure.
He sounds a bit like Pachino in Scarface.
Pacino
Met Pete back in 92 or 93 and have been friends with Lee since around 1999. Two absolute killers and legendary Death Metal musicians!
This is by far the best episode in my opinion, really awesome , also the words of pete on hope are very touching, great drummers and down to earth guys
Pete Commando Sandoval! A true master and a great inspiration!
Damn,every interview you have done is very interesting. Drumtalk is just perfect. Thank you Philipp.
thank you so much Ljudevit!
Both are Legendary in Death Metal History! Full Respect.... Salutation from Indonesia
Two absolute beasts...Lee Harrison is so underrated.
Total respect for this legend. Blast beast creator.
Most underrated drummer of all time. -❤️💀
Pete's the ultimate badass drummer
Grande Pete! Been positive makes everything in another level.
Pete Sandoval, bless your heart! You will always be a pioneer in my book! I was blessed to watch him play standing behind him a few times when morbid came to detroit as well as ohio. What a great soul 🙏🙏🙏.....and I watched him play with the high combat boots 🤣🤣🤣 NO SHIT....THEY WERENT MUCH LOWER THAN HIS KNEES
Lee Harrison looks like grumpy George fisher so much, thank you drumtalk for the amazing interview keep up the great work!
He was in monstrosity with george for a bit. That would have been 2 big scary guys in the band at the time.
He does look more like Jeff though.
TERRORIZER-not one guitar solo on world downfall, pete's drumming on that record is amazing and 100% so glad he still killing it.
Legend drummer,he play to speedy.Respect.
Hello from Malaysia Pete
Keep health for ever
From Chile 🇨🇱 , greetings to those who blew my brain and broke my neck ... metal gods and inspiration for many; Thank you 🤘
2:25 Judas Priest... Scorpion...ESSEEEEE!! So fucking latin.
Pete is the man!
Pete Sandoval should talk about the album of Sarcofago INRI/1987. the drum are so fast for the 80´s. DD crazy the drummer
Necrodeath " into the macabre " 1987 .
You have the pentagram demo in 1986 but Into the macabre was something else .
@@Nissardpertugiu great album in the Pleasure to kill vibe
Terrorizer's "Caustic Attack" is an incredible album. Listening to this album flayed my skin into ribbons and I CANNOT WAIT to hear what is next! The best Terrorizer album yet, in my opinion. Hail Terrorizer and Commando!
Rewatching this, just reminds me that Pete is such an influence. He is so awesome.
Millenium is my favorite Monstrosity album.
same here man!
love to play stormwinds & seize of change
Pete is the ultimate Death grind drummer. I will love to see him back in morbid ways, yet terrorizer is an one album band quite groundbreaking. Monstrosity with corpsegrinder was great now they are the helpers of bigger bands, much respect for them as a FDM original. Hail Pete! Comeback to the dark side lol
Two legends! Mr. Commando is a monster drummer. he seems a bit 'high' while talking.
It's a language thing and a cultural thing, but as he explains... he's high on positivity. I don't subscribe to the God baloney, but he is absolutely right about having a positive attitude.
World Downfall & Imperial Doom
Two of my favorite Death Metal albums
Met Lee when he filled in for Donald tardy...great drummer and a nice guy..
Yooo me too!
Got to catch up with him when I saw him with Terrorizer in November as well! Super cool dude
Pete even drumming on his mic. 🙂
A machine of a drummer.
Inspirational for all the metal drummer nowdays. I salute you Commando.
My main influence to this day. Definitely shaped me to be the drummer I am today. Seen him with Morbid Angle 4 or 5 times and every show was a treat.
Have not seen Monstrosity. Have been a huge fan of them for years.
And Lee Harrison is another huge influence to this day.
Morbid angle and Monglosity!
Holy Fuck!!!! Pete Sandoval is such a good guy. Absolute inspiration. Great interview. 🤘😀🤘
I love you brother, without your metal input we are not, heavy metal.
Good to see Pete Sandoval is doing well. I always thought he was a phenomenal drummer. I hope he gets back out there and has many more contributions to music in the near future!
Pete Sandoval Master Drummer Old School.
man Pete is the Best!!! he is absolutely magical!!
I fucking LOVE Pete Sandoval, what a humble legend
Pete Sandoval Greater Speech 30:00 -32:00
Pete is the fuckin man! I like his thoughts.
World Downfall is ufff...legendary drumming and grind, these guys are legends, so good they are playing and keeping death and grind going, so good, great interview, Respect! totally agree with Lee and Pete on their respective favorite albums, Covenant ufff, In Dark Purity, soooo brutal and tight, awesome!
Lee Harrison is truly an unsung hero - his works in Monstrosity is monstrous!
Sometimes in the 80s Modern Drummer had an article about Pete, he mentioned what is now known as Blast Beat. I had no idea what he was talking about 1 foot as fast as 2 foot. He's really a pioneer in speed metal music.
both are legends and amazing drummer. love Pete style so much.. hail yeah from Indonesia
My most favourite drummer from all times. Legendary. I owe him a lot for my drumming. Even had a chance to talk to him during Nile and Terrorizer tour. Amazing and lovely guy. Had a picture with him since that night. Super cool guy. Wish him the best.
This is the first time I've heard Pete speak. Crazy! What a legend. And I love that his favourite MA albums are Covenant and Formulas. Both him and Trey on genius form
There are many other interviews of Pete online where he talks
Mit dieser Episode 39 hast du mir einen persönlichen Wunsch erfüllt ;-) Danke , wir sehen uns im Proberaum. Bleib dran, mach weiter so !
moin Tony! Dank dir für den Kommentar! Auf den Dreh hatte ich mich auch richtig gefreut, cool, dass Dir das Ding so gut gefällt! Da kommt ziemlich sicher bald noch mehr, was Dir gefallen könnte....
I just love metal drumming. I always was most attracted to that sound. If I had any kind of musical inclination that's what I would've liked to play. I love how the drummer is hidden behind all that kit and kicking the shit out of the concert space!!!
So happy to listen to the morbid angel drummer. I'm not metal death what ever you may call it. But one thing I remember is a friend who made me listen to that band... maaaaan ! I'll always remember ! It was the early lr mid nineties . I love their raw sound ... natural to me ...pure somehow. So cool that I appreciate ,more and more in my 50's now
My all time favorite drummer since the early release of Grindcrusher, pulled me off my Iron Maiden trip like a punch to the face.
Absolute legendary talks you've been making .....I would death of happiness if you could bring absolute monstrous of drum extremity.the two gods among human in the name of-Elliot Hoffman and Jamie st merat
Commando the legend. Huge inspiration to me. Drumming from hell but still with soul. Deranged yet super tight. Like no other!!
17:48 - Hell yeah , that is how a Death Metal/Grind legend should look like ! Nod on , bruv!
thanks pete! for all those great and legendary music
Interesting video, thx. 🥁
I just cryed through this video. These two absolute legends...
Great to see Pete Sandoval still tearing it up. I often think a lot of modern drummers just don't have the musicality and creativity he does.
And very few of his age still have the stamina. Or the fire in their hearts.
Lee Harrison is an underrated legend.
Heard *Dead Shall Rise* on GRINDCRUSHER Sampler. Bought *World Downfall* December '89 and heard Pete's drumming. Haven't been the same since.
Pete is one of the true inventors. Respect!
Both of these guys are instrumental in evolving the death metal drumming art to an extremely high level. Drum work in metal has grown exponentially in recent years to a point of it being hard to differentiate if it’s human or machine but these guys have a very distinct personality on the instrument that will never be lost. Their influence can never be underestimated. If you play fast and technical extreme metal these 2 guys influenced you directly or indirectly. Now do more episodes on guys like Steve Flynn from Atheist, Czral from Cadaver Inc., Mike Smith from Suffocation, Marco Foddis from Pestilence or even Rick Colaluca from Watchtower. These are other players that deserve some respect and love....
Good job Pete, Hell of a drummer, love his attitude👍
Lee Harrison!!!! Such a sick drummer totally underrated.
Little known fact: Pete Sandoval was born in 2005... stay away from drugs kids!
tf is this wrong info
Pete is and will always be my hero
I wish they'd given separate interviews, Sandoval dominated this one and Harrison is a great all-around musician who could have said a lot more if he'd been given the chance - when you're with one of your idols you're more likely to let them do most of the talking.
I must say I can't believe people in their late 40s can play this most athletic style of drumming. That's sheer dedication to your art.
Relaxation is the key to speed and endurance. It gets easier as you get older because you're more relaxed.
I did two interviews that day buddy -- first George then Pete & Lee. on top of that there were many mic disturbances on Lee's audiotrack that made huge segments of him unusable. be happy with what you just got bro
drumtalk Well, it's not a huge complaint. I did realise it was the same day as Kollias. Shame about the mic malfunction, I couldn't have known that. It's just that your interviews are usually more thorough and I was used to the high standard and expected that for two legends.
Keep up the good work.
there's so much great stuff missing through the malfunction that I can't help but get mad every time I'm reminded of it...
Maybe the live audio monitoring could help? To eliminate the possibility of malfunction going all the way through the interview
Very informative interview! Great getting to know these nice guys and wonderful musicians a bit. Also cool to hear a bit of ‘Dead Shall Rise’!! Thanks!
Pete didn't seem amused when the interviewer asked him how he drummed with "biker boots on" and laughed. This was an excellent interview, thank you.
Great interview. These two go back a long way and are good historians for the industry. keep it up. Thanks Lee and Pete.
Master Pete Sandoval, one of the creators of extreme metal drumming, Lee Harrison a great underrated drummer, saw him kick ass with monstrosity some 20 years ago, got to shake his hand, great dude.
Great interview
Pete is such a quality person !!!
They are definitely legends, the honor of seeing them in Guatemala, in their previous bands Morbid Angel and Monstrosity, this interview is a gem 🔥🤘
I remember back then some 22 years ago speeding up on bicycle through leg effort and pain, imagining myself being on Morbid Angel drum kit.
so....did you wear combat boots?
Legendary status. The man.
Damn!
Commando is still Fucking alive and Extremely Kicking like hell.
Pete is an Icon!!!
Increíble Pete Sandoval sigue siendo una máquina ante los nuevos bateristas del género usando de manera brutal el blast y la velocidad extrema y precisa 😎
