![Dave Lombardo - drumtalk [episode 31]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RmFtSubwEBI/mqdefault.jpg)
I remember years ago when Grip Inc opened for Morbid Angel Dave was walking back stage after finishing their set. As he was walking back I was in the front of the stage (with a Slayer cap on) yelling “Dave, play a drum solo!!!”. I turned around to bullshit with a buddy figuring he didn’t hear me, a moment later I hear “should I do it?”…much to my surprise it was Dave. Naturally I yelled “F’ yeah!!!” as did everyone around me once they figured out what was happening. Dave looks at me and says “this is for you…”. That is one of my most prized memories attending a live show. I will now leave this earth a happy man knowing Dave F’ing Lombardo dedicated a solo to me. Rip Gus…thank you Dave!
Badass!
That's a pretty freaking awesome story bro I believe Dave would do that He seems like a very kind-hearted man.
F*ck yeah , he's the reason fast extreme double bass drumming exists , when all the young thrash bands ( anthrax) Metallica ,exodus , testament etc etc etc , first heard Dave's double drumming on the songs from reign in the blood , everyone of them has said that's when they knew they had to get better at playing faster double bass .
Grip Inc came to the sugarmill back in the day , I didn't even know Dave was the drummer I was there by chance , when I saw the kit I said to mates that's exactly the same set up as Dave lombardo , and a guy behind me said "it's Dave's kit cuz it's Dave's band " I was stunned , he was my favourite drummer and I was gutted how slayer screwed him over in 92 , so to actually get to see him play 6 foot in front of me was a dream come true , I actually spoke to him after and he gave me a pair of sticks that I have framed and on the wall to this day .
Nice!!!
@@aboutthemetal8783 don’t forget that Gene Hoagland from Dark Angel gave Lombardo pointers on double bass technique in the early days. That was pointed out by Lombardo himself…but yes, he definitely raised the bar.
Grip inc. is criminally underrated.
Especially their first album
@@dang3740 Dave's drumming (and Gus's vocals) is off the charts on 'Hostage to Heaven' !..! !..!
@@andywitch666 yes sir andy💪🏽
Grip was badass
Still play some of those riffs
Dave is a living legend
@@andywitch666 what about their killer guitar player?
Dave's drumming on Testaments "The Gathering" is some of the best metal drumming I have ever heard, then again that album in general is a fucking BEAST!
South Of Heaven is a masterclass in drumming.🔥
South of Heaven is my favorite slayer
Drums sound like your in the room with them
No reverb
Just drums
@@AgentBeans I agree
YES! My personal fave of the band with Seasons kinda "close". Spent YEARS tryin to emmulate Dave's drum attack/sound from South on ALL my various drum kits back when. Love SOUTH OF HEAVEN 🤘🔥🤘
Absolutely. It should be required listening for any aspiring metal drummer. I remember most of the fills by heart, even though I'm not a drummer. Very, very tasteful and memorable. The production is also stellar. The combination of superb drumming and production is just killer.
@@askforjerry And...? The remastered version of "South" on CD, IS KILLER as well 🎸🥁😡🎼🎵🎶🎚️😎🤘🔥🤘
Dave is one-if not the most influential drummer in metal. He is a true legend.
\,,/ >.< \,,/
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh man, Grip Inc. Hostage to Heaven!!!!
I met Dave In 1990 during the Clash Of The Titans - European Tour luckily During A In-Store-Signing, So He Was Ready And Well Up For It. Greatest Guy You would Ever Meet. Told Him He Was The Greatest, To Which He Looked Me In The Eyes And Said; Thank You!
Proceeded To Perform An Extremely Tight And Unforgettable Gig Later That Night In Copenhagen. During 'War Ensemble' He did a Rhytmic Bass-Drum Rolling in The 'Sport The War'-Segment that Just left me Flabbergasted. Something Vinny Paul Would Perfect In Later Years. But Dave Did It First, And You Know What They Say; You'll Never Forget Your First. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT!🥰
Nobody finds a voice in drums like Dave Lombardo. Period.
I like how Dave explains how going back and redoing/re-recording a song or album just wouldn't be needed on account of the feeling and vibe at that moment in time. (OK I am paraphrasing - This is the way I interpret what he is saying.) There were a few times I wanted to go back and redo my drum parts after all was said on some projects I was a part of. Dave's absolutely right in saying that even if it wasn't to your liking in the past, the experiences in that moment helped mold you into the musician you are today. Inspiring and wise words.
I've seen him with so many bands over the years, he's for sure my favorite drummer. Excellent interview.
Thanks to both of you.
CHUCK BISCUITS!!! I knew him, Randy Rampage too early 80s DOA, they were huge around Vancouver, they bought weed from my dad on a regular basis. Chuck introduced me to my drum teacher Spike when I said I wanted to take drum lessons from him, he unfortunately didn't give lessons, said he was a shit teacher, no patience, so brought Spike by to see me. Traded a 1974 Les Paul and all the gear for 3 months of drum lessons, got my first kit in March 1984, Tama double bass and Paiste 2002 Series. Annihilator became my favourite thrash band because I'd seen them so many times around Vancouver in their early days because Randy would drop off free tickets when he stopped by for some weed. RIP Randy.
Dave , I'm 47 , you have inspired me since I was 15 , thank you for having an amazing positive impact on my life , also I love how for years you have always advised younger drummers to stay healthy and avoid drugs , because you said that I turned my life around in my late 20s , thank you for your service to metal , we love you like family .
Dave is nearly 60. Still insanely creative and hasn't seemed to hit a wall like a lot of artists, creatively, when they get older. Physically i wouldn't think he's nearly 60. Can't say the same for a LOT of metal artists and musicians.
Apparently your more creative when you’re old.
Fortunately for us, he didn't meet Mick Shrimpton's fate....
Not to demean Ric Parnell in any way whatsoever.🤘
Totally underated I bought The Power of Inner Strength as soon it was on the shelf
He's simply an amazing drummer.
Great interview! Needless to say, Dave is legendary and has inspired many drummers and musicians. Above that, he is such an amazing person. Thank you very much for all you have done and continue to do, Dave! 🤘🏾🥁
The Godfather of Speed Metal🥁🤟🏻😈
My biggest drum influence...right here!! (Which is not to say I can play anywhere near his level, but the drummer who I looked up to the most as an inspiration). Been a real treat to be a metal fan with Mr. Lombardo setting the standard, AND the bar. Got to see him play (in what is generally considered a jazz club) with Fantomas some years ago. Never thought I'd be able to watch him that close. It took me a half second or so to realize that Dave is not just a metal drummer, but a seasoned percussionist as well. Also figured it may be my only opportunity to grab an autograph, given the size of the venue. Already prepared with my Sharpie, I hung out and waited like a lost puppy dog. Dave finally came out from "backstage", I asked if I could get his autograph. He was reluctant, but I stood there with the marker and a grin that probably looked like a school girls at a New Kids show.🤦♂️ I got the signature. I'll never know what it's like to be in a celebrity's shoes as far as that scenario goes, but I appreciate his willingness still. One thing I regret not thinking of, at the moment (and any bad blood with the other members aside) is: THANK YOU FOR SLAYER!!🤘
Metal music is just...better, with Dave Lombardo in it.
Mr bungle debut album is a mind fuck of music
Dave is a living legend!
Grip Incorporated was definitely one of the bands that I thought was a major influence in doing something completely at the time. I still listen to that band to this day more than
Slayer that for sure. I'm so happy Dave is finally getting the recognition he deserves he is a top-notch drummer in my opinion, completely his own unique style of drumming nothing comes close.
Dave, you're an icon!!
I got to hang out with Dave in the mid 80s. Super nice guy and lots of fun.
dave Lombardo is my biggest influence on the drums.
Because he is so great i try my best to live of my drumming. I practice multiple hours a day all because he inspires me. The only thing to say thank you ❤ by Hart
Se te quiere, Dave 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Great interview/talk.
Listen to Dave talking so relaxed and actually thinking hard about the topics is great.
About anxiety before go to stage... I think it was Steve Harris (iron maiden bass player), who said something like "the day you didn't feel nervous before a live act, your are done for the music, your career is over" (not by this words, but this was the overall idea).
I’ve never really listened to his other music… but slayer made a BIG fucking mistake kicking him out. Literally the best drummer ever
Show No Mercy, Dave's double bass and overall drumming made me switch from guitar to drums. When Grip Inc released albums I played the shit out of them. Nemesis came out when I was in a rehab center in 1997, did more for me than all their bloody preaching and telling me I'm worthless and weak without religion. Still an atheist too, you don't need religion to quit a bad habit, music inspires me not fearmongering and threats of eternal hellfire.
So many bands you’ve been in in its amazing how you remember all of them
Love dave since day 1 🥁🤟🏼🤟🏼🇨🇦
I blast Grip Inc. Almost on a daily basis. I didn't bother on that Final tour.
Dave and Jeff weren't there, the heart and soul of Slayer.
That was ExoSlayBidden! 🤣
The man.
Met Dave at a Testament meet and greet. Nicest guy ever. He's not a loud person, let's the drums do the talking!
⚡Excellent
Musican ⚡
Great Interview !!!
Grip Inc albums are fantastic. Especially the debut and Nemesis (in particular).
Got to see his first show back with Testament at a sold out show in San Luis Obispo CA \m/
I hear those harmony too in my drums🤟🏼🤟🏼🥁🇨🇦
!..респект, Дэйв👍
Saying Bill Ward is one of the biggest influences on him, is just keeping it real. Lotta people forget how good Bill is. The Godfather.
Bill is a fantastic drummer, no doubt. A bit underrated too
Dave's approach always reminded me of Bill and Keith Moon.
Dave Lombardo, what can be said about this guy that hasn't been said before? the one thing that comes to mind is that his contributions to metal music can't truly be measured.
Dave deserves more than what Slayer gave him.he helped create slayers sound and was there to build them from the ground up .
Sucks to hear about the greed
Amen to that.
Kerry King sucks
Yo the songs I’ve heard on his solo album are amazing ❤
Dave is amazing! If brutality had a sound, it would be Dave's drum tone
Living legend
Great interview
I was able to present him with a steel sculpture of the SLAYER "swords" logo that I smithed over the anvil while listening to their recordings; honestly, I kept time with him while I was hammering, and it wasn't easy; I hope he reads this, because I'm still open for architectural commissions as well as sculpture...
Buying his new recording is on my calendar and will affect my production pace🤘
South of heaven might be the greatest drum performance of all time.
Rick Rubin turned the drums up on that album for good reason
He's my real hero and jeff Hanneman.🎶🎵🎶🎵💯💀☠️🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁.
Fu-UHHHH King SSSLLAAYYURRGGHH!!
Show No Mercy is perfect, it was pure, raw, unfiltered metal like Kill 'Em All and Fistful Of Metal. If not for Show No Mercy and other early thrash like it I might not have thought of learning to play the drums, would have continued on sucking at guitar trying to be EVH until I finally gave up. Those albums were dirty, almost as if they were recorded in a garage, that's their charm. I never bought the rereleases for the better production, I preferred the originals, I bought rereleases for the bonus tracks.
Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, Michel Langavin (away)
grew up on those guys.
on Casagrande, yes he rips.. i liked Iggor back in the day but Eloy is on a higher level
I remember we use to call The Limelight, Slamlight. It was more fitting for us
Why did he have to drop out of the Testament shows?? I was so looking forward to the June shows, when Testament would finally come to my hometown and with Exodus and Voivod no less :(
I remember when I heard the news of Dave joining Testament, I was literally shaking with happiness. It's a shame that he didn't even lasted a year with Testament.
Scheduling conflicts. He had too much going on.
I just don't think Dave likes being tied down to one bands schedule anymore. He just likes doing his own thing.
I'm smoking Rock Star weed, seems appropriate.
If Dave is looking for a cool sound he should try the electromagnetic waves of the Earth, freaky deaky, sounds like a 100 dump truck pileup during a thunderstorm.
Dave’s physically looked exactly the same the past 25 years or so. Which is like 99% of my lifetime lol
dave statred experimenting 30 years ago

George kollias ran outside was out of breath like running the tour da France from playing I was not up in his face like hey man I was more like are you okay you need help then died up a cigarette
Nu metal did not come out in 92 it was 94 Dave 9:05 9:06 9:07 9:07 9:08 9:09
After that you can tell slayer was missing a main ingredient
Why does Tom look 90 and Dave looks 50 lol
