most humans have no clue what its like to be on a tour bus with the same smelly asses, ragged voices, bad attitudes and ups and downs in such close quarters for so long. the loneliness. the isolation. the being surrounded but feeling a million miles away. stop the hate. that man is a God of metal.
Toxicity is definitely something we are all responsible for managing in our own lives. You gotta decide whether it’s worth it or not. That is only compounded when you start a family. Making a marriage work is tough. It takes a lot of effort. Raising a child with someone else brings it to an exponentially higher level. And when you make the decision to be a husband and a father, all the other stuff becomes just that… stuff. Family becomes your life. Not your top priority. You ONLY priority. The other stuff in your life is there only to help you grow as a better husband and father. If any of that stuff brings toxicity into your life and especially into your home, you are doing the right thing by letting it go. It is really just that simple. Chris is an excellent drummer. Sounds to me like he’s an even better man.
This is the most I've heard about why he left. I mean, as recently as the making of Sacrament video he didn't seem all that unhappy. And he took on soooo much responsibility. He was basically the manager. Maybe if he just let go of that stuff. But then he played in Megadeth, with no responsibility other than recording and playing, and he probably loved that freedom. But that's because Mustaine is the heavy there. Every band needs someone to shoulder the lion's share(unless it's a real democracy). It doesn't feel the same without him. No knock on art, the music with him is ok. But it's been just ok since at least Resolution. I'll always root for these guys, get every record. But damn I want my hairs to stand up like in everything up to Wrath.
See its funny I know in some ways their music has become a bit more formulaic but both of the machine produced records “ashes” and “sacrament” while being very unique and clearly very Well thought out are not my cup of tea anymore. I love as the palaces burn the same way I did when I first heard it as a teen… and ashes was the album that came out when I was in highschool… at the time I loved it but it has not aged well for me. If I never got to hear laid to rest again I wouldn’t be offended. The perfect sounding recording of that album just gets to me. It’s overuse of open breakdowns I’m not gonna say all the songs are bad there are some I still like but overall I prefer the songwriting on some of their newer records. Yelling “see who gives a fuck” over and over again during a breakdown feels badass when you’re a teen but it’s not so cool once you get older. I prefer just well written songs and catchy Melodiws and I think lamb of god have grown as songwriters since Ashes. The albums overall are less polished but they matured as songwriters I just don’t think they’re trying as hard to make a perfect record anymore if that makes sense. I never liked sacrament all that much. Ambitious and experimental for sure but I just don’t think lamb of gods sound works when they’re trying to be too experimental. Lamb of god is at their best when their riffs are fucked up sounding yet undeniably brutal. As soon as they soften their sound it just feels like what is the point of this. I would definitely rank sturm, wrath, self titled, and possibly even resolution over Ashes. Ashes just doesn’t do much for me anymore. It grew old for me whereas palaces never did.
Thats your opinion bro but common consensus is that their best albums were Ashes and Sacrament. They became formulaic because they didnt know how to evolve they're style beyond that peak. They've been able to adapt but not evolve and thats why they fell off. Also production was better with Machine he knew how to make them sound bigger. If Log started mixing shredding elements to their tech style and maybe pick up influences from the underground like merging slam with new wave and continued with Machine they would'nt of fell off and wouldve set a new standard for metal.
Chris Adler is the main reason I purchased my Mapex Saturn V Studioease kit. I even splurged on his signature series snare which at the time I purchased it... I paid $299.99. Now I see the snare has gone up in price to over 700$ I love Chris Adler and he will always be one of my favorite drummers.
Makes sense. I remember when Mark knocked out Randy for being an annoying drunk. Damn shame but I totally back Chris for not wanting to be around toxicity. Hopefully that was a wakeup call for the other members.
The fact that Chris Adler (one of my top 5 drummers of all time) stated back in 2006 I believe, that he plays drums as if he is playing lead guitar blew my mind in those kiddo times and till this day. Such a natural gifted drummer, and indeed LAMB of God has been too different without him. He defined what LAMB of God is and should be.
The last few times I’ve seen LOG around 2012-2016, Mark looked like he was overweight, miserable and didn’t want to be there, while the other members had gotten healthy and fit. Fast forward a few years and Mark and Chris got into a childish Twitter argument that blew up the rock and metal news sites. Then last year Mark quit drinking and got on a health kick. Makes you wonder where all that toxicity was coming from. Anyway, I hope they’re both doing well and happy
Agreed, it's such a disappointment they kinda started to fall off after "ashes of the wake" which isn't surprising that album is incredible from start to finish. It'd be hard for anyone to follow that up.
It makes sense to me if he wants a good sense of mind. Negative energy is easily fed into people and can cause harm in your life and the life of others.
Hands Down 🤘🏽…! Chris you made the right decision bruh..! Your became a legend..You showed the world your best .. You won awards in all genres of the drumming world..! You sir fukin Did it ..! Mad respect.. and all the best to your family and your future endeavours 🤘🏽
Ok but just imagine getting a grammy for some weak megadeth shit while you made all those legendary lamb of god tracks. (Lamb of god chris was on another level imo)
As much as I love them, I couldn't care for their latest albums. All the songs sounds the same and uninspired.. Chris Adler added Metal legacy which only comes through knowledge and passion.. Which the band, is now lacking.
Chris Adler always seemed like the normal guy at the band I’ve seen those old videos of them drunk fighting for no reason and then making up the next day.
I myself think it was a combo of the motor bike wreck and feedback from the band, coupled with him probably wanting to branch out after Megadeth (might have gotten a little swollen ego) and do his own thing. There are some live videos out there towards the end of his run and Chris sounds terrible. Like the injuries were keeping him from being able to hang in a live setting.
I don't blame him at all. Randy is already exhausting enough with his ridiculous tangents about sh1t that noone cares about his opinions on. So I can only imagine having the other guys being caught up in that too.
good for him man, fuck negativity kinda toxic to release your album the same day though but oh well, im sure its all water under the bridge now. OR atleast i hope so!
To my knowledge, Megadeth pressured Chris to join the band full time, which who’s to blame? He’s a monumental drummer. I can see why they really wanted Chris their full time drummer. However, Megadeth shouldn’t have pressured him in staying, otherwise he’d probably still be making another album besides Dystopia.
he didnt leave, he got fucking booted and fuck Randy for doing it. BUT if a band wants to keep doing what they do replacements happen for better or worse.
Hes a grown up. Maybe he just got sick of being on the road all the time, being forced to be creative constantly. Hes wealthy and successful, having accomplished the dream of being a very very famous and respected musician!!!! I hope hes having fun with his new lifestyle, hes very much earned it.
Yeah... Being in a established "band" has ALL that stuff mentioned (and MORE)... Either it was Adler NOT able to "keep up" OR they (the LOG band) really were/are THAT friggin miserable 😖....OR? ALL thee above .🤔🤨... GREAT drummer 🥁 Never a fan of the band, personally 😒
I think he was smart! That band has already done there best stuff they will ever do. It all sucks now. I think Chris was right and very smart to leave.
HIGHLY disagree, Lamb's hitting their peak of their career right now... like it or not. They're mega-popular, best Metal band out there today. Go see them live now and tell me differently. Just saw them live in MKE last night w/ Pantera... they killed it as always.🤘🤘🤘🤘
@MrSullyE the last two albums have nothing on their discography up until. I love this band with my whole heart but what they've got going now doesn't compare
@thedudethatplaysguitar9882 💯. These new fans will never understand how monumental Gospel to Wrath is. Definitely the peak of their discography is within those records!!!🤘🤘🤘
@@MrSullyE 😂 No, they hit their peak several years ago. PANTERA? Dude, loved Pantera. Pantera doesn't exist anymore. You know Dime and Vinnie are dead, right?
"Live life with a grin", in the making of sacrament video chris came across as an arrogant dick. Watching the making of Omens was a whole different thing, the whole band look happier, makes you wonder who the toxic one was.
Chris was doing 90 percent of the band's financial and managerial shit on top of trying to write a record. You would be a little on edge if you had that weight on your shoulders.
Since Chris Adler left, Lamb of God is back heavier than ever! It sounds so much better now with Art. Their last 2 albums are amazing and feel like actual Lamb of God again. Sturm und Drang was a low point so I’m glad Chris left as it seems he was the negative factor
@@edwardgogo8066 It’s a very good album, but for Lamb of God standards it wasn’t so good. For example Embers started pretty good and then halfway through the song they had a female with a whiny voice do a very mellow and un-LOG part
He's such a great drummer. He changed up my style for the better. Much respect to him for being a genuine dude.
Chris is far too good to not be in an A-tier headliner-level band
thank's for watch this video..dude, don't forget to subscribe this channel
The 7 front 😂 so the bat can become a monk species 😂
I agree! Awsome drummer!!
I wonder what his excuse was for leaving Megadeth. They're an "A-tier headliner" band
Said you. The man can do what he wants.
I'm 100% behind Chris !!!!
Do what makes you Happy & Whole and F_ck the selfish fans that don't get real life !!! ✌🎶
Idk, he seemed a little arrogant in the Sacrament documentary, and that was years ago
@ajfhalfj Yup. You can obviously see he was a pain in the ass to deal with.
@@robertkleinschmidt1029 I disagree !!
Omerta will forever be my favorite drum beat/song from them. His ride and double base rhythm is amazing

Anybody can see the video clip for the song "Now you got something to die for..." that the relationship between the band had a lot of harcore downs...

thank's for your comment,,have a nice day
Mark quit drinking way before that "twitter' beef. Hes been sober for about 5-6 years.
Liberals are very toxic Chris did the right thing by leaving.
Lamb of God has been pretty trash these last couple of albums. No stand out tracks. It all sounds the same; dull & uninspired.

Jiwa LOG hilang tidak lagi sama seperti dulu dengan crish 😢
Asthma solid album for me was Wrath
you on drugs
@@greenmountaingrower4680wrath was a pretty good album tho. But I think its peak was around as the palaces burn and ashes
It makes sense to me if he wants a good sense of mind. Negative energy is easily fed into people and can cause harm in your life and the life of others.
He's starting a new band called
BEEF OF SATAN
Firstborne is a banger and Im thrilled these sounds now exist.
Firstborne.. 😔 Honestly awful.. especially Dead Rats.. but anyways thanks for sharing...
ya...thank's for watching
They have better songs now ngl
This background music is perfection 😊
Can’t help but feel LOG lost something of a signature groove when Chris left, music doesn’t feel the same…almost standard sounding
Hands Down 🤘🏽…!

He works at home depot.. my goodness..
Been there, done that..i dont blame him one bit. I'll never be in another band that robs me of my happiness
sounds like burnout.. shame he left, but a damn good reason to do so
Chris Adler always seemed like the normal guy at the band
I’ve seen those old videos of them drunk fighting for no reason and then making up the next day.
Joins megadeth ...wins award ...and leaves...did a fantastic job on dystopia

I was hoping that he would staying with megadeth...
I was on that train too lol. I still find it odd that it didn't happen.
Nobody stays with Megadeth…
good for him man, fuck negativity kinda toxic to release your album the same day though but oh well, im sure its all water under the bridge now. OR atleast i hope so!
Art Cruz is good and could have brought his own suace to log but i feel like he's being held back
I hear slipknot is looking for a drummer….again
Why did he not last long in Megadeth?
I saw the Sacrament documentary and he appeared a little arrogant towards Morton, who is a fucking genius behind most of the memorable tunes from LoG

One of the best out there for sure.
LOG is not what it used to be with Chris!
he didnt leave, he got fucking booted and fuck Randy for doing it. BUT if a band wants to keep doing what they do replacements happen for better or worse.
