I don’t understand why his 23 years with Motörhead wasn’t even worth a mention. As far as Dee is concerned, the Scorpions are ancient history. “We are Motörhead and we play rock ‘n’ roll!”
Cause this guy has no idea about Metal, like he says. Probably he doesnt know anything about Dees story.
Anyway, not so important...
RIP Lemmy............
@@roscop.coltrane2748 I believe that Lemmy would have disagreed with you.
@@roscop.coltrane2748 There are so many Motörhead albums to compare but "Another Perfect Day" (except at the sales desk) is one of my favourites as well. I'd put it in the top five, which are in no particular order. I'd put "Bastards" and "Sacrifice" up there as well, leaving two for wiggle room.
@@roscop.coltrane2748 Why?
Listen to him on King Diamond's "Them" and you know how great he is as a musician .
That was this guy?? I listened to “Them” a lot when it was new. The album started off with a nice drum lick and it continued to blow me away throughout the entire record. To be honest, his playing on that recording was far more dynamic than what I just saw in this solo.
@@augsdoggs yes . Great example how music can challenge the musician ! *)
@@augsdoggs th-cam.com/video/2wzQD4kpZJo/w-d-xo.html
Excellent album, excellent drumming, excellent musicianship all over.
@@maximwinner5326 I finally just saw the link that you added. Very, very cool. Things like this make me really appreciate TH-cam.
King Diamond, Motorhead, Scorpions.... Mikkey Dee is one of the industries elite.
Don't forget Dokken.
Don Dokken 1991
Mikkey Dee’s best work were those first 4 albums with King Diamond. He was always in Philthy’s shadow in Motorhead which is hardly surprising as he was such a massive character.
Phil Taylor was a character for sure, but he wasn't a better drummer than Mikkey Dee.
@Hans Gustav He was in Phil’s shadow because Phil had played with the classic line up and because Phil was such a big character. It was the same for the guitarists after Fast Eddie whereas Mikkey was part of the classic King Diamond line up. Phil was the Bert Trautmann of rock and roll. That’s a reference to him breaking his neck and playing on, albeit in a neck brace. What a legend.
@@misfit2022 I don't deny that Phil is a legend. I love the classic line up too, and wish they were all still alive and healthy, and playing together, but that's not reality unfortunately.
Mikkey might have been perceived the way you describe it for the first few years, but he proved himself a true and genuine member of the band (in contrast to Wurtzel), and in the end he played in the band for many more years than Phil, and played on more studio albums too. I don't want to downplay Phil's role in making Motorhead one of the greatest Rock'n Roll bands in history, but Mikkey is objectively a better drummer, and his playing-style suited the band very well. He did a great job, plain and simple.
@Hans I agree but if you are part of a classic line up then that’s what people remember first. Take Kiss Paul, Gene, Ace and Peter. Peter is not as technical as Eric Singer but he was part of the classic line up.
@@misfit2022 I'm not that much into Kiss, so I don't really have much of an opinion on how they are perceived after Ace and Peter. But my personal opinion on Motorhead is that they didn't get any worse with Mikkey on drums and Phil Campbell on guitar. And remember, there was a reason why Lemmy decided Phil Taylor had to go. He was living a pretty self-destructive life at the time, and keeping him in the band would probably have meant the end of Motorhead. I'm sure that wasn't an easy decision for Lemmy, considering him and Phil were close friends.
Now, all this is my personal opinion, of course, and we don't have to agree about everything. We both love Motorehead, and that's what counts! Keep calm, and rock on, brother! 🤘
Mikkey’s sense of independence is always impressive. Especially noticeable on his recordings with King Diamond.
Mikkey is a monster! His work with King Diamond is amazing!!!
just discovered this drummer. this guy has style, technique, showmanship, great sound. wow what a drummer!!!
Not the most technical drummer in the world... But he has this great energy and charisma... He's fun to watch ...he realy Loves what he's doing...
At the throne for Motorhead from '92-2015. Underrated metal drummer. Rob reiner from Anvil is great too.
I have Anvil CDs. They should have been bigger. No guarantee in life.
AGREED..........FUCK YEAH.......
They used to call him the best drummer in the world. In my opinion he is it.
Yeah . Mickey Dee is a war machine. I saw him live with Motörhead (and King Diamond) many times. Now he's resting a bit with the scorpions :) Usually at a Motörhead concert people mostly watch Lemmy. But I always spent half the show watching Mickey and smiling from ear to ear. And he's a cool dude in real life also.
To remember, Mikkey will be 60 this year. Not a youngster any longer. Still kick'n ass!
Mikkey is not known for his soloing so much, his drumming with King Diamond is the best metal drumming ever imo! Super tight naturally, super unique creative fills, he swings unlike all metal drummers really, THEM! and Abigail are absolutely meta masterpieces and Mikkey rules on them both!
I'd put Mikkey in the same class with Gar Samuelson as the best metal drummer ever!!
Nah plenty of drummers swing. Dave Lombardo is KNOWN for his swing. Also, Pete Sandoval, etc.
@@randywissler9923 Sorry I miss a lot of comments or response’s somehow but that is a great choice as well Gar was awesome!
@@loboahriman7680 Lombardo? I don’t know for me Mikkey is in a different league I know that will piss you off but it is not meant to at all I just hear them differently then you is all. I do think Mikkey is grossly underrated I will say that although I do not love his solo’s but who cares playing music is really what matters and I do love drum solo’s but just saying.
@@Monsterdrumma I'm not saying they're both in the same league. I'm saying they both SWING.
Note: giving your honest opinion is not going to piss me off, don't worry. I'm here for discussion and I'm all for perspectives different from mine.
hey. nice reaction to mr.dee. his sacrifice solo on motorhead's stage fright is a far superior(in my humble opinion). you might want to check that out. cheeers!
his solos with Motorhead are even better
A master in his genre
Mikkey Dee is definitely one of m favorite hard rock drummers always entertaining...have seen many Mikkey solos but have never seen this one.....
Mikkey is an awesome drummer, sat on the throne with Motorhead from 92 up until Lemmy's death but I'll always remember Mikkey as the original King Diamond drummer. Fatal Portrait through Conspiracy, mikkey's drumming is phenomenal!
That look on your face Gary is great watching these solo videos. U are a drummer that likes and respects all drummers. And I like that.
Big arena solo.really enjoyed.
Great video and well spoken!!!💯
Great MUSICIAN!!!
I met Mikkey Dee in the lobby of the Anaheim Hilton hotel across the street from Disneyland during the NAMM show when he was still with Motorhead. I told him "if Peter Criss tried to play drums like you he would have a heart attack by the second song". He thought that was funny!
Well said Garey! Honestly, I don't listen to that style of music either but darn if I didn't enjoy that! Very cool! Kudos to your listener for that suggestion!
Thanks 🥁🥁👍👍
Thomas Haake song bleed. When he wrote it he didn’t even know if I’m he could play the song! He has just a play through with out the metal vocals. Do this one for us metal fans!!! Thank you for your videos. My favorite and I think most knowledgeable drummer reviewer on the internet!
they should have pulled a copy of this same solo from a Motorhead show when they did SACRIFICE to open it.. THAT was his BEST recording..... and he was CRUSHING it..
Go listen to King Diamond/merciful fate, and you'll get an idea how he can twist the bars
He never played with Mercyful Fate.
Carlton Barett. Drummer in Wailers. (Bob Marley and The Wailers)
Please send me a link. Thanks!
I been to Motorhead concert 4 times before just because of Mikkey Dee drum beats
I miss Garey.
Great rock drums 🥁
I’ve met Mikkey many times (we’re from the same town), and he showed me some of the rudiments he practices and some he made up himself. Killer stuff and he’s really good at that kind of stuff also. But as you said, might not work that well in a arena solo. Further I join the rest of the comments, his work with Kind Diamond (30+) years ago is brilliant!
Cool and good for you. Thanks for sharing.
Swedish powerhouse from Gothenburg (Göteborg)!
2:30 I believe that's 3 up 3 down. Scott Travis does that regularly too.
do one of Mike Terrana, solo that he did at Rage
From Sweden! :-)
"The best drummer in the world.... MIKKEY DEE!!" - Lemmy
Wow that hit the nail on the head about best drummer!Say can you do a reaction on robb reiner he is a hard rock drummer with a jazz back ground in the band Anvil .Thanks
Send me a link. Thanks!
Mikkey Dee is a monster! \m/
You don't like Metal, because you just don't like Metal. Not because water told you it's evil 🙂 Those who love Metal receive great joy from it, the same as one does from any form of music. Speaking as someone who loves most styles of music.
The best fukkin drummer in rock and roll. Period.
There are a lot of metal drummers doing insanely sophisticated stuff. Check out Elliott Hoffman from Car Bomb, Sebastian Lanser with Obscura, Matt Gartska from Animals as Leaders, Jamie Saint Merat with Ulcerate, Blake Richardson from Between the Buried and Me, and of course, as others have mentioned, Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.
Thanks! I'm not a fan of heavy metal drumming so won't be doing any reaction videos on most of these drummers.
th-cam.com/video/o1N6whAF1w8/w-d-xo.html
@@DrumsetArtistry Animals As Leaders is more of a progressive hard rock band. Hoffman also has some videos of improvisations over Steve Reich compositions that show of his chops outside of metal. And Lanser's old band, Panzerballet, is a fusion group.
The swede🇸🇪....M. Dee
If I closed my eyes and had to guess - Tommy Aldridge.
You should watch daniel adriansson he is a machine
Drumset Artistry....you should definitly check out Marko Minnemann and Senri Kawaguchi.
These two master class Drummers are in the musical field of jazz fusion.
I did both :-)

You need to watch mikkeys solo on sacrifice from when he played in the greatest band in the world MOTORHEAD!
That's what's rock is all about.
React to Matt Thompson of King Diamond Sleepless Nights Live at the Fillmore!
Lemmy always said he was the best drummer in the world.but I'd sayin the top 5
can you please react to an amazing drummer named el estepario siberiano?
If only he said with "The King."
THE ULTIMATE ROCK METAL STANDARD - MIKKI DEE-
The great Mickey Dee sounds very *IAN PAICE!!!!!
60% of the human body is made of water, and Heavy Metal people is the most harmonious people you will ever meet.
Very similar to the Motorhead solo he used to do
It is
I am a huge Scorpions fan from Lonesome Crow on, well until love at First sting, so my question is when did the Scorpions become Metal??? Mr. Williams, I think if you are going to span the music landscape with your reactions maybe research a little bit and enlighten yourself with genres you aren't familiar with, or 'like' before you offer blanket statements. And maybe do a little Wikipedia on the artist before listening. Mr. Dee is much much more than the current drummer of the Scorpions.
Thank for your reply. There are definitely more genre's of music I could listen to,, I am not a fan of heavy rock or metal music and, therefor will not be doing any reaction videos on drumming in these genres. I don't know much about Mikkey Dee's back ground. One of my subscribers requested I do a reaction on him and it provided me the opportunity to hear him play. I mean no disrespect toward any drummer or style. Like with food, there are music flavors I prefer not to listen to. Outside of what I might personally know about the drummers I react to, I won't be doing any Wikipedia research on any of the drummers I react to. That is something a fan can do if they are inspired to learn more. I hope that helps. I wish you all the very best with your drumming :-) PS I am not sure what genre of music you would classify for the Scorpions. I am just not a fan of their music. Nothing personal.
wether they r metal or not is an opinion in my book as ive alaways considered them metal and i listen to everything from death metal to sleaze metal and everything in between.
I was hoping he would demonstrate on his drum kit some of Mickey’s techniques? But never mind?
In a private lesson I can show you. Let me know if you want my help. Cheers!
Its funny this youtube videos with drum teachers and guitar teachers downplaying legends but in the end they are envious because they really wanted to play in a band but they only play in their caves !!!
Sad to me that whoever recommended this particular solo from Mikkey did so. Mikkey, who is approaching 60 like many of us, is getting older now and, though he's still great, isn't the same drummer he once was. It's no slag on him, it's just life. I've seen a solo online from his Motorhead days years ago which buries this solo. For the life of me I don't know why someone didn't look it up and recommend that solo instead of this one which, while still really good, isn't truly indicative of what Mikkey was in his prime. Hopefully going forward everyone will start providing info/links to guys when they were in their prime. To me it would be like someone sending another person a link of Tommy Aldridge performing a solo anytime say post 2005. You're still going to get a hell of a performance, but is it representative of what Tommy was in his prime? NO. I'm sure some will say "why does it matter", but I know if I was going to have someone, especially a musician, react to a solo I performed I would want it to be from my prime, not when I was either beginning to pass it, or had clearly passed it. I know music is not a contest, but when we watch solo's we're all sort of assessing ability to a certain degree if you are really being honest about it, so why not do that assessment of the musician based on their prime, not as they are heading into the twilight of their career? Call me crazy, but that's my 2 cents. If you read this Garey this is not intended as an attack on you at all.
Thanks for your comment! I was asked to do a reaction on Mikkey Dee and I grabbed a good looking and sounding video of this solo. I was not familiar with him and not interested in his style of drumming enough to dig into his background. Nothing personal. I hope my reaction helped drummers to understand his playing more. When a subscriber request that I react to a drummer, I often ask that they send me a link. If they don't then I quickly scan TH-cam to find one, especially when I am not that familiar with that drummers playing style. I hope that helps.
You are crazy.
A year late but is this the one you mean?

Me: I want see REACTION Mik'D 😮
Reaction guy: I am give reaction 😎...
Me: SHUT MOUF WAN' HEER SALO!
I think Lars ulrich will shock if they see this..😅
believe me he saw Mikkey's playing. Lars is a big fan of Mikkey Dee
King diamon drumer....
Would you ever consider doing a Joey Jordison drum solo reaction? Or a Jason Bittner solo reaction? Amazing soloists for metal that a lot of drummers would enjoy! Happy drumming! Love your videos!!!
Possibly. Send me some links to solos and I will check them out.
Have a look at his drum clinic solo it's much better, especially the snare
Mikkey with Motörhead
Mikkey is one of those drummers who's solos aren't an excuse to go take a leak.... Eric Carr and of course Neil were the same.
hI IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Christian Vander please
Please send me a link to a solo. Thanks!
@@DrumsetArtistry in Magma the drums are the lead instrument. There’s not necessarily a solo. I’ll refer you to a later Magma album. K.A.
Play anywhere on any song. Listen for a couple minutes. Do that a few times. You will recognize immediately that he is a long way up the mountain. Magma is usually compositional but far from traditional. Drum solos aren’t a standard in Magma’s music.
I highly highly highly highly highly recommend to any drummer listen to Christian Vander.
@@tupacamaruiv5804 Thanks for the recommendation!
i'm a rock n roll guy, but PLEASE do a reaction to a Bernard Purdie solo..thx

mıckey dde play kıng dıamond motorhead scorpions legend drummer
Cool! Thanks!
A good deal sounds like Neil Peart.
Try another type of genre this is gross but interesting

Alex Rudinger is a beast or maybe a cyborg😜
"nice"
Mickey is way better than Philthy Phill because he is a complete player. Phil was an animal and a great player.
Motorhead drumer...
Think that's great check him out with motorhead
