Good choice Wheeze, can't believe its taken this long for someone to mention him. Bonham was the one good thing about zep imo (controversial i know).Originally Posted by Wheeze
Another drummer that deserves a mention is Dave Lombardo, pretty sure Dubbintooth will agree with me on that one.

Yup, right there, total legend, and influential outside the rock world.
Ian your gonna have to accept this thread is going to wander a bit.Got me thinking about bands with two drummers. I was stumped, didnt google it and it took my twelve mile run tonight to think of adam and the ants.Dont know what the drummers name s was.Anymore bands with two drummers.
Two drummer bands - Butthole Surfers played sometimes with two drummers, and The Melvins (with the thumping Dale Crover) have made a few albums with two drummers, probably better live than on record.
And of course Radiohead have recently absorbed Clive Deamer.
How about the Glitter Band. Stand by for ridicule.
And the mighty Fall. And the Pink Fairies (Glastonbury 1971).
When I saw Alec Empire at Leeds festival he had 2 drummers and it was amazing. I'm all for bands with 2 front men.
My War anyone? Come on Dubbintooth, please tell me you known of them?
As for drummers, tbh I probabley rate Lombardo above all of them,
Brann Dailor is also well up there,
as is Neil Peart if we are moving away from metal
And let's not forget this guy
Style for miles

I sometimes wish I'd been born 10 years earlier than I was, so that I would've been getting into music in the late 60s instead of the late 70s
what joy it would've been to be there during the rise of bands such as Sabbath, Zepellin, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple etc
I never saw Zep live, but I now have "Kashmir" echoing in my head
Neil Peart was the best drummer I've seen live
Jeff Beck best guitarist
just opened the shrink-wrap on my newly purchased re-mastered copy of Godflesh's seminal album Streetcleaner, and the liner notes open with the quote "What is this I see before me...?"
Sabbath and Hawkwind I'd agree, the others I'm really not that bothered about. Would have been far more interested in the rise of punk in the early to mid 70's. The the rise of hardcore and thrash in the early 80's would have been amazing.
I had to content myself with buying up the aforementioned bands' back catalogues (plus ACDC, Rush, Scorpions, Yes) until Megadeth, Metallica & Slayer came along and saved my sanity
speaking of bands influenced by Sabbath, just realised that my mint vinyl copy of Bolt Thrower's "In Battle There Is No Law" might be worth a few bob - toying with the idea of whacking it on Amazon...
