      I saw mbv about 13 years ago and Colm’s drumming was incredible. He was very nimble and skittery back in the early years. His style gotten a little sparser and more solid with time. Undoubtedly underrated.

      @namebrandmason ปีที่แล้ว +27

      His fx are basically stage props. During the Loveless era he used like 8-9 pedals total, with some of those being duplicates for different songs. The main effect is the reverse reverb from an old Yamaha rack mixed with his whammy bar use.

  • @SlinkiestTortoise23
    @SlinkiestTortoise23 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Colm is such a great drummer and Is integral to MBV’s sound! His fills are so fluid and they are almost not fills in a way, in that they are components of his drum beats. I know they are a cult band but I think he gets overlooked as a drummer as he was very original in his approach. MBV’s material wouldn’t have sounded the same without him behind the kit and that’s something difficult to achieve as a drummer. It’s got the energy of punk rock drumming in the frantic aspect but it’s so tight and measured. Punk rock drumming is very rarely if ever in the pocket like Colm plays. One of my favourite bands and every single member managed to add something that stands up in its own right and it wasn’t just Kevin’s vision with musicians playing along, they all played a vital part. I saw them live at the Roundhouse after their long hiatus and it was the loudest gig I have ever been to! They really did do their own thing and created their own sound, again, something very difficult to achieve.

      If Lush did exist in 1988 I would guess they would be supporting MBV, not the other way round. More likely was on the razz the night before and had the next-day booze heebie-jeebies, or was just coming up on some acid

      From Miki's book it appears that in oct 88 Lush were looking for a lead singer after parting with Meriel so I doubt they were playing at this one. She also mentions Emma dating Kevin Shields for some time prior to that date.
