Underrated? He is probably one of the most regarded and respected drummers in Europe, especially in Germany. I cannot speak for the U.S., cause i´ve never been there. But in Europe he´s a living legend.
If Animal from the Muppets were real he would be Mikkey Dee ... this has to be one of the most incredible, precise and awe inspiring rock drum solos Ive ever heard .
Saw MOTORHEAD at local bar, 1st Ave, Minneapolis, remembering this long blonde hair drummers solo, completly shaking the walls, one of my top R&R experiences. Thanks to tube so I could see this again!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw em' in Kingston the other night and it was WILD. At the end of it he started juggling the sticks while playing. My eyes were glued. Exceptional.
I met him back when King Diamond was doing the THEM tour. I managed to convince the crew to let me work as a roadie. I helped set the kit up and the rest of the stage. I had a blast. They even let me see the show for free! I met Mikkey Dee as well and hung out with him backstage (Pics to prove it too) and the whole band including the KING were very friendly. No attitudes and what not. Just happy to be appreciated. Dee is one of my influences as a drummer :) Rock on!
Theres loads of drummers out there with big kits but only play half and same with double bass but mikkey uses the lot. He's an underrated legend up there with the best.
Close your eyes and listen to it, he's going so fast he'd have to be an octopus. What an amazing drummer, the best in the world easily. Post this all over facebook to get it the amount of views it deserves.
I saw Motorhead & Saxon in Manchester, I'm a fan of saxon myself but i was dissapointed with them, but Motorhead were AMAZING!!! And it was was the 3rd time i've seen them!! The best yet!
oh thank god, its soo good to hear someone with the same opinion as me, im a drummer too nd im personally into joey jordison (slipknot) nd i always find it quite annoying when people say either "joey jordison is the best" or "he is rubbish, such and such is much better" there are just soo many things to take into account its imposible to say who is the definate best
shakalakamutafuka, for 3 years I keep returning to your video only to feel this amazing unreal super devastating raw animal type energy MICKEY releases !!!
you can't train to be that good, he's got one hell of a gift. When he has a break in the middle he still kicks ass!!! Motorhead are lucky as f**k to have him.
mikkey is so much better then most if not all metal drummers he acctully incorporates other styles, can acctully stay at the same pace and has dynamics in his playing
The best Metal drummer for sure. Imagine the power and the stamina he has. Incredible. I dont wanna be that be that drumset^^ Completly destroyed after a gig
Whether you know anything about Metal or have opinions about better drummers, you have to admit that this is a jaw dropping solo. Would be spectacular enough had he just played it on it's own but is was in the middle of a concert. Total respect to Mikkey Dee!
Saw King Diamond back in the day and Motorhead a few years ago, both in the same small club, and Mikkey KICKED ASS both times! Imagine this caliber of solo and drumming from about 10 feet away! Got to drink beers and talk to him for about an hour after the Motorhead show and he's the fuckin' coolest, most down to earth guy. Very humble with no ego whatsoever. IMO, Mikkey Dee would wipe his ass with Joey Jordison.
I won't put him above Benny Greb or Chris Coleman but this is a damn fine rock - arena solo. He keeps it moving, does not try to play cross-stick\ghost licks for the drummers in the crowd, he just pours out the energy and the impact and makes people want to scream and stomp. And that is what a rock concert is for...right?
When he performed this bit live, he carried on playing with one stick at 3;25 whilst throwing about twenty sticks with his other hand into the audience, it was awesome.
A friend of mine lent me the first King Diamond solo record back when it was released; I gave it back to him the next week and told him I couldn't care less about the band -but the drummer was serious!!! Mikkey is still too underrated.
Best drummer what ever you guys says. Mikkey dee are the most powerful drummer and the guy who has most energy. He just played a song and then then he making a kick ass drum solo without any rest and after the drum solo he's playing a song agin. THAT FUCKING NICE !!!!!!!
LOOK AT HIM GO! :D :D :D I saw Motorhead live a couple of times,and i always look forward to this solo! One of the greatest drummers ever, playing in one of the greatest band ever! wooo!
one hell of a drummer and i saw em live on the the 5th of october at the enmore theatre at sydney...one hell of a gig...and u gotta love the way that lemmy and phil fuk off during his solo...haha
Yeah, best drummer in the world. Normally I'm usually in favor for members of original lineups, but Mikkey Dee is an exception. If you ever get the opportunity to see these guys make sure you go, you won't regret it.
yeah i agree with you aswell,its crazy how lemmy chased mikkey to be in motorhead as hes more of a technical drummer rather than hard rock. i like some songs off motorizer, but yeah they seem to have slowed a little, but theres no harm in showing your ageing a little :P im just glad lemmys still alive, thats an achievement itself!
Mikkey has been one of my fave drummers since he was in merciful fate and king diamond. While his playing is more technical than Motorhead may require, he is a kickass drummer and it would require stamina to play their shows. Also, keep in mind that Mikkey is in his late 40's. You gotta love a guy in his 40's that can still kick rock n roll ass at this level!!!!!
WOW !! this solo beats all the fiddely piddelly drumming that u get from the drummers such as thomas lang n stuff altho its great drumming i prefer this kinda of solo , bags of energy
mikkey is the best drummer i've seen considering his age,yeah there are better drummers now,but hell look at his age, he is way ahead of his generation.
From KING to MOTORHEAD to SCORPIONS, class act, incredible talent and a man's man.. This guy is the full package.. Mad respect.
yes!
He is without doubt one of the best drummers in the world!!!
What an animal, very underrated, one of the best drummers in rock!!
This man has all 3 qualities. Tempo, Technique and Feeling.
Underrated?
He is probably one of the most regarded and respected drummers in Europe, especially in Germany. I cannot speak for the U.S., cause i´ve never been there. But in Europe he´s a living legend.
Mikkey delivered top performance at Rock in Rio, Madrid 2010 - outstanding. Met him at the airport day after - easy going cool guy as well.
Mikkey always amaze me since his KING DIAMOND years! Great great drummer!
SO exciting to watch Mikkey Dee - always been in my top 5!
I feel like he doesn't always get enough credit.
I don't think he does!
He's a very talented drummer!
Solo sounds alot like Neil Pearts eighties solos..
@@keyringer he is the Man for the Job !! Scorpion!! Yea!!
Stort .sonor ..setaupp
If Animal from the Muppets were real he would be Mikkey Dee ... this has to be one of the most incredible, precise and awe inspiring rock drum solos Ive ever heard .
+Phil John Well, the founding Motörhead drummer WAS named "Philthy Animal" Taylor…
+TELMEman Philthy was not the original drummer of Motörhead.
+MncDssctn philthy was original motorhead drumer!!! u are dumb man
+Speedfreak No, you are dumb. Lucas Fox is the original drummer of Motörhead. When he proved to be unreliable he was replaced by Philthy.
lol man u are big tard!
he is the best heavy metal drummer in the fucking world!
One of if not my favorite metal/rock drummer of all time... great groove, unique rhythms, power, endurance, and just an overall machine
The best drummer ever.

Rock on!

One of the greatest rock drummers of all time...I was lucky enough to get to see him live w/ King Diamond yrs ago...
I saw Motorhead at Hammersmith a week ago- was absolutely blown away by them, and mikkey Dee's solo was feckin' amazing.
Favourite band ever.
Theres loads of drummers out there with big kits but only play half and same with double bass but mikkey uses the lot. He's an underrated legend up there with the best.
The Spirits of John Bonham and Keith Moon live on in this man!
Truly a living legend!
Yesssssss
Hell yea. His drumming added such a flow and melodic presence to the King Diamond stuff. One of my all time favorites no doubt.
I consider this posting to be 4mins 21s of my life very well spent. Absolutely superb.
what an honor to have met this dude...hes a great guy too!!
As a drummer I am ashamed that I have not seen Mikki Dee before. One of the best . Truely inspirational.
Mikkey D is a BEAST of a drummer.
I love these guys, one of the best drummers in the world right there!
Close your eyes and listen to it, he's going so fast he'd have to be an octopus. What an amazing drummer, the best in the world easily. Post this all over facebook to get it the amount of views it deserves.
Anytime I want to feel a real blast and high sensation I play your clip,
shakalakamutafuka !!! Thanxxx. Saw him LIVE in a Long Beach concert.
SWEDEN!!!! Im so proud over my country for one of the best drummer, im a drummer self!
I saw him do a drum solo when I saw Motorhead back in November. The epicness of it all completely blew me away, it was amazing.
Amazing drummer ~ *(^ ^)* y I waiting scorpions new album，that's will be so excellent & GOD bless THX
If reincarnation exits, Mickey Dee was once a gladiator.
The best drum solo I ever saw.

Thank you SHAKA, you did a great service to mankind by posting what a real drummer can do.
I was at Plymouth too...he was incredible, And I'm a Philthy lover!
Damn, this drumsolo impresses me every time I watch this. Mikkey Dee rules!
shakalakamutafuka, for 3 years I keep returning to your video only to feel this amazing unreal super devastating raw animal type energy MICKEY releases !!!
definitely one of the best rock drummers out there!
this is whitout doubt the best drum solo iv'e ever heard
his playing with King Diamond is a huge influence on me...
This IS one of the best solo I've ever seen! ^_^
Right there is the baddest m'fer on the planet. Period. To actually feel that live is amazing. It's like a sonic wall of speed and precision.
Mikkey Dee is a god amongst men. Top five metal drummers of all time.
Phenomenal!
Out of this world!
My Number one Influence of the The 90s 🥁🥁👍👍
Amazing drummer. One of the best ever.
you can't train to be that good, he's got one hell of a gift. When he has a break in the middle he still kicks ass!!! Motorhead are lucky as f**k to have him.
Dave Lombard-who?
Mikkey deserves way more props. The man is underrated.
all great drum solos mainly sound so awesome bcause of the constant double bass in the back ground, i love it lol
mikkey is so much better then most if not all metal drummers he acctully incorporates other styles, can acctully stay at the same pace and has dynamics in his playing
The best Metal drummer for sure. Imagine the power and the stamina he has. Incredible. I dont wanna be that be that drumset^^ Completly destroyed after a gig
Such a great sound from that kit. And fantastic timing and rhythm, one of my fave solos. People who like Travis Barker probably haven't seen this ;)
Heard him live in Georgia two days ago... This guy is DEADLY cool ! ! ! AMAZING ! ! !
Whether you know anything about Metal or have opinions about better drummers, you have to admit that this is a jaw dropping solo. Would be spectacular enough had he just played it on it's own but is was in the middle of a concert. Total respect to Mikkey Dee!
Now THAT'S a drum solo! Terrific execution. I really enjoyed that.
Saw King Diamond back in the day and Motorhead a few years ago, both in the same small club, and Mikkey KICKED ASS both times! Imagine this caliber of solo and drumming from about 10 feet away!

Mikkey Dee is the best drummer, and this solo is so awesume :D
Saw a drum solo from Mikkey in Gothenburg, 8th december 2007. It was fucking amazing.
Mikkey Dee and Daniel Loble are the best Drummer of anytime !!!!!!!!!!!
WOW !! this solo beats all the fiddely piddelly drumming that u get from the drummers such as thomas lang n stuff altho its great drumming i prefer this kinda of solo , bags of energy
mikkey is the best drummer i've seen considering his age,yeah there are better drummers now,but hell look at his age, he is way ahead of his generation.
