I saw Grip Inc. open for Morbid Angel back in the day, as they were leaving he stage after a great set I was at the front row screaming “Dave, play a drum solo!!!!”, he came back out from back stage a second later asking me “should I do it?” and my response was “fuck yea!!!” In unison with everyone close to me. Dave said, “this is for you...”. Dave Lombardo dedicated a drum solo to me. It doesn’t get better than that. Definitely one of the best live experiences I’ve ever had and I’ve been to a lot of shows. Thank you Dave...
That straight up brought a tear to my eye. I can only imagine the feeling that you had in that moment. My buddy caught one of Danny Carey's drum sticks at the last Tool show and handed it right to me. I went weak in the knees. Dream come true.
@@gringochucha ahaha is he really? just curious I have never followed him, I have been a metal fan for 20 years but I have not been so much into Slayer! I know I know I know they are great and.....but in Trash Metal I prefer Testament, Exodus, Voivod and many more, Slayer is so simple to my ears, specially Kerry King feels not metal to me! ahaha he is trying ahaha
Dave ,is one drummer I have followed from the beginning, he has taught me a lot on the concept of playing the drums and his level of professional inspiration is incredible?
What an open-minded and creative bloke! I saw him perform live in London at the Astoria with Fantomas, and of course, he drummed like a beast! I was enthralled! It's like he takes percussion to an olympic level, but with amazing skill and sensitivity to what the other musicians are playing.
Completely agree. It's hard to have good compatibility among such awesome musicians and I certainly don't blame any side over the other but I ha e to say that you are dead on correct about the Dave era and they cant deny themselves what they had with him!
Dave and Gene Hoglan are two of my favorite drummers ever. First and foremost because of their amazingly groovy and tasty drumming, but also because they seem so nice and down to earth.

Lombardo will forever has a spot on top of metal drumming. Dave's playing and sound on Testament's 'The Gathering' (1999) will always be THE SH#T for me.just perfect...the double bass, the fills..all so organic and to the point. Such a legendary career..
Finally someone has the same opinion! It is goddamn important and without it, it doesn't sound same! I hate when drummer plays classic skank beat the cheapy way .... Ugh, sounds awful 😀
@@AS-Stardust Tom Araya ha hecho declaraciones en sus conciertos a favor de Trump, siendo que él y su familia son migrantes chilenos. Un total imbécil.
never been a Slayer fan, but what he says here about ego around 6 min mark, about what his dad taught him... I'm sure this kind of loose and chill attitude is what I hear in his ferocious yet un-tense playing. And I like it! A great person, a great drummer!
Dave said some years ago that just in a sound check jam with Gary Holt, they basically "wrote" a whole album. Those two, with their on-the-spot improv and jam abilities, could write several albums worth in a session. I hope they do something together again.
"I'm also human"! So true. And I think as fans we often get carried away by the public relations drama and miss the fact that these are musicians and humans! They have real lives and feelings!
Killing Joke "Pandemonium" was a great record. Dave is an amazing drummer! Thanks for all the awesome records. Testament's "The Gathering" is my fave Dave recording.
Huge thank you, Dave, for introducing me to Metal. I was always fascinated with the drumming in the Slayer albums I listened to when I grew up. South of Heaven is still one of my all-time favorite albums.
What always set Lombardo apart were three things: his feel for the music (e.g. the way he pushed and pulled the tempos in Slayer), his ferocious (trigger-less) feet, and those crazy backwards fills he did. Listen to Bill Ward on _Sabotage_ though. It seems to me that was the template by which Lombardo modelled his style.
All Drummer"s back in 80/90 Dave Lombardo. He was the one we has to follow.cause he was the best. Of all those.Good Drummer's. With they'r band. Like Sodom. ..Possessesd Sepultura. But Dave Lombardo. Was allway's the Master. To all Drummer"s..thanx Dave Lombardo. Slayer never was the same when You took off .Gracias
He is super necessary getting slayer to that point of chaos I love them for. I have seen them many times origial line up. I won't see them without Lombardo or Hanneman. I'm good. Note: I am glad people still go watch them.
I was never a Slayer fan growing up, but I’ve been a Dave fan since reading his big interview in Modern Drummer in the early ‘90s after South of Heaven. He’s not a metronomic drum machine like so many metal guys - he’s got soul and feel to go along with all that speed. Love that guy.
Dave Lombardo has been an inspiration to me since 1997. That's the year when i first picked up a pair of stick and a drum set. You have always pushed me to be a better drummer and for that i thank you.
I was lucky enough to see Fantomas at Nottingham Rock City in 2000 in the small room. I was that close I didn't need the PA to hear his drumming. I was in heaven. Lombardo to my left, Patton to my right and Osbourne and Dunn in the middle! I'm not a drummer but even I know that Lombardo is something special. Fucking amazing drummer!
There are other channels on TH-cam to listen to interviews of drummers but this is the best of the best of those channels. Every interview is always on point with no BS. Thx!!!!!!💯👊
I got to hang out with Dave a bit in the mid 80's just as Slayer was taking off. He is super nice and down to earth. He once gave me a huge compliment........."If I was a punk drummer I would want to play like you". Had lot's fun with him when we were young.
@@teamatfort444 They both listened to The Exploited, DK's and such. My friend Mike and Brad by sheer coincidence saw Slayer around 83 at a place called "Radio City". We were all punks and when I heard Slayer I was shocked.................My two friends met Dave because they were like "punks like us"? And through them I met Dave. I sort of knew who he/slayer were. I just thought he was a really cool guy and fun to hang out with. Once "Hell Awaits" took off I never saw him again. His drumming influenced me heavily back then. Check out "Final Conflict Ashes to Ashes" and you'll hear a 20 year old me doing my best Lombardo wannabe licks! /
@@dirtydave2691 that's tight you were in Final Conflict, man. I was in one of the OG crossover/thrash bands from back then, Radiation Sickness. We had a reunion in 2010, banged out some fresh deathy thrash and reissued oldies and finally disbanded for good in 2015. Super cool to see you guys had reissues for Ashes to Ashes!
hey man, thank you! it's impossible for me to do more work these days but I guess there's enough stuff to binge watch on this channel... finger crossed I can do more in the future....
I Loveeeeeeee you Dave. You're my hero.... You make me happy all the time... your personality is unique... you are a perfect gentleman... thank you my legend.
Dave was always leaps and bounds a better musician than the rest of the guys in slayer. His drumming, was what attracted me to the band in the first place. As far back as 1983. And I'm a guitarist. His drumming, spoke to me, on a different level, outside of the bands gimmicks. I find him extremely talented, and love the fact that he has continued on with his craft, while evolving as a musician.
@@timothya.olmeda7299 - I am a guitarist as well and I totally agree with you about Lombardo being the best musician in Slayer. As a guitar player for the last 26 years, I feel comfortably saying that neither Kerry King or Jeff Hanneman are/were exceptional guitar players. They are both really good rhythm players and riff/song writers, but their leads have always been complete messes. When Gary Holt took over for Jeff, I immediately felt bad for him having to play Jeff's leads and solos. They are all over the place. Just noise. Holt is a much better player than Hannenman was. But Lombardo on the other hand, is actually a very talented musician. He knows and understands what he is doing. In my opinion, they really messed up with the situation with him. They didn't appreciate who and what they had behind the drums. While Bostaph is a great drummer, you can hear a difference without Dave. It is very similar to when Phil Rudd left ACDC .While they had hit songs with Chris Slade and Simon Wright behind the kit, there was a very, very noticable difference in the playing. The only way I can think to explain it is to say that the groove way missing. Non-musicians do not understand Phil Rudd. The guy is absolutely phenomenal. The guy is a human metronome.
Michael R. It took me quite awhile to understand their approach on their lead guitar work throughout their career (total exaggerated chaos), but I agree with you. Phil Rudd truly is solid and not many can do what he does. He taught me how to keep time, and apparently better than those who didn't learn from listening, practicing, along with his beat. Hal Blaine, who passed away this week, was another drummer, who stood out among the many. Truly a legend, whose drumming moved the world.
That would be nice if they could interview Mike Smith, Pete Sandoval, the guy from Defeated Sanity or that nutcase of a drummer/vocalist from Autopsy (Christ Reifert)
This man revolutionised metal drumming in particular with double bass drumming. Many since have gone faster sure, but nobody has what he has. Dave can GROOVE at 220bpm. That's the difference.
Super nice and down to earth guy. He actually played my drums around 84/85 at a studio we practiced at. Back then he sat down and just blazed. I got to hang around with him for a while back then, but after Hell Awaits he left on tour. I can honestly say he was just really nice and fun to hang with.
13:23 What Dave says here is brilliant and totally on-point. That's how I was when I was learning guitar - I took a little bit from all of my favorite guitarists, but I never straight-up tried to copy any of them like most other guitarists do.
Personally I think The Gathering will.remain his best record ever. Too bad he didn't show up on the tour . Love you Dave. Thank you for your humility lesson and inspiration ☀️
Dave Lombardo, Charlie Benante, and Iggor Cavalera are pretty much the only thrash/extreme metal drummers with groove, which is why they're the best drummers in those genres.
What a great interview, didn't think I could be a bigger fan of Dave's but wow, I feel like you were reading my mind on a lot of that stuff... Oh, and the thing about the eighth notes and not just playing quarter notes on the hi hat... That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw you doing it... That a lot of people don't and they just play quarter notes
Fascinating --& he truly takes the theme to heart, plumbing the depths of his mind to provide the most accurate description thereof.. (& it's in the mind where we find the real crux of the matter.. couRse!)
The new SUICIDAL TENDENCIES band line-up is fantastic, the drum fills that Dave Lombardo plays in some songs on WGM album and GYFO! EP sound great! I'm glad that my favorite SUICIDAL TENDENCIES band will play in Cuba (country of Dave Lombardo's parents where he was born)! "Capitalism" is more efficient social system than "socialism" (there has been rights and wrongs in both "democracy" and "communism"), the problem of communism / socialism was that it wanted to make most things PUBLIC (people who work more than others and make more products themselves or lead the production deserve to have more than others) but now democracy / capitalism wants to make most things PRIVATE (it's going into other extreme way)!

Unfortunately Kerry's over inflated ego was as big as his inability to play guitar
Agreed
Saw that OG line up in Toronto in 2006. Never saw them after Dave left.
Dave and Gene Hoglan are two of my favorite drummers ever. First and foremost because of their amazingly groovy and tasty drumming, but also because they seem so nice and down to earth.

Not only an amazing drummer but also a great and humble person! Much respect for Dave! (btw it's Fantomas not Phantom Us)
I am a drummer and I like your channel. Thanks!
that's how it should be :-)
thank you Raybond!
Dave: "shit"
Interviewer: "you play shit?".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I almost die
Thank you so much for this channel!!!
Loved that he mentioned Pandemonium - killer Killing Joke album
Not a big Slayer fan, but one hell of a fan of Dave.
Dave Lombardo is by far my biggest inspiration on drums. Dude kills in every band! He knows exactly how to make “music” with the drums
Lombardo signed my leather jacket after a show at Warner theatre in Wash.DC. real cool guy. He Rips .
Listening to him and Kerry King back-to-back is like listening to a Ph.D. and then a kindergarten kid.
Yes! Like Jeopardy followed by Wheel of Fortune. :)
Thank you! As a drummer That was awesome! And at the same time Inspirational on so many levels beyond drumming! Wow
Damn I wanna see Dave live
Hopefully Testament comes back to America soon. Bummed af I couldn’t go to their last tour
Totally honest and true!!!! Dave it's definetely a very interesting and knowlegable human being!!!! Right on Dave!!!!
Whenever I watch one of his videos, I want to watch another one.
Dave is such a humble legend.
what a cool guy. he's always seemed very down to earth.
Thank you Dave ... you are just and ICON with manners
Good, honest talk. Bravo for all you said on Fantomas :)
Play for passion and not for money; admirable!
Great interview i feel like im talking with a friend!
I liked the video right after watching the intro. So good!!
He such a grounded person, he's too good for Slayer.
Dave Lombardo... If God is a fan of drumming(and i think he is) you Sir have the frontrow seat. Period.
The new SUICIDAL TENDENCIES band line-up is fantastic, the drum fills that Dave Lombardo plays in some songs on WGM album and GYFO! EP sound great!
I'm glad that my favorite SUICIDAL TENDENCIES band will play in Cuba (country of Dave Lombardo's parents where he was born)!
"Capitalism" is more efficient social system than "socialism" (there has been rights and wrongs in both "democracy" and "communism"), the problem of communism / socialism was that it wanted to make most things PUBLIC (people who work more than others and make more products themselves or lead the production deserve to have more than others) but now democracy / capitalism wants to make most things PRIVATE (it's going into other extreme way)!
