because i don't think it has anything to do with the fact that tommy seems to think bonham was his "mentor" because he doesn't know what that word means

i mean seriously where the fuck do you get off, after years of bitching about an inexperienced but rather technically proficient teenager being dropped into a band with a noted egomaniac do you get to the point where "oh sweet tommy lee what an improvement"
like it completely invalidates years of your criticism of mike byrne's technical skill. jesus CHRIST, fuzzy... |

Is Mikey "rather technically proficient" because, again, I know absolutely zero about drumming but my drummer says he's pretty meh and the drummers on here are usually pretty critical of him.

For the record I hate both mike Byrne and tommy lee. I honestly could care less who is behind the kit because chances are I'll listen to the album once hate it and move on. I'm just glad mike is gone. Why? I'm a petty fuck.
Also whoever said Janet Weiss seems to be available had it right. But she'd be better off staying out of that picture. |

I like Post-Punk
Pretty much I want drums to just be loud, simple, and repetitive. |

Your drummer could suck for all I know, but did you show your drummer Mike's own work with his own band? He's more into math rock. I thought he was really unsuited for SP, probably because Billy wanted him to play like JC, but he's more comfortable playing his own style.

Maybe Im thinking of the O-board.
Honestly, I felt Oceania's drums were fine, and if you like at ZG you see the greatest drumming ever won't save bad songs. |

but we had fuzzyroses et al talking about how completely terrible and off beat he was and shit
it was so ridiculous at the time and even more ludicrous that they're heralding tommy lee as "real talent" |

Mike needs to find his own voice. Billy did him a favour.
To be honest, all the professional musicians I know that have listened to Oceania say the same thing to me, "that drummer is amazing". They aren't tainted by wanting to have steamy sex with Jimmy though. |

doomsday clock is a pretty great example of that, tbh
the drum intro is like OMGZZZ and the song is like oh my god. |

Mike had chops, and does great with that shitty bearcubbin music. He didn't have sp level chops though. And yeah, I have my head stuck up Jimmy's ass. But he's a god so whatevs let me relish.
Having mike out softens the blow of tommy being on board. But whoever thinks he's going to be an improvement is an idiot. He's going to fit into this band as well as mike did and that's not a good thing. I guess I'm numb to it all at this point. And seriously if he's just hiring a drummer to do 9 tracks on the album, why not just have jimmy do them and then he'd be done with it/not touring. JC had no problem doing that with Tyson Meade. |

No, but think how much worse it would be without JC's drumming. Really, one of the few redeeming qualities of that album is Jimmy's drumming. Billy just fucked up the production and the direction he took the album in.

I like Tommy Lee for this project actually. Not because he is some fantastical drummer, I don't give a fuck about that. I like that billy is out of his comfort zone, and shaking things up a bit. Tommy Lee seems odd and it is easy to judge that he doesn't fit but in a creative environment sometimes that is what you need.
I like that billy is bringing in randoms and I hope Billy continues this. |

And my drummer could very well suck, again I don't know or care about drums really. I like drums to be really loud and simple. Like Dave Grohl. |

You don't understand what being a contemporary of someone means. Take for example the Shelley/Keats example that was used. Shelley and Keats knew each other, they ran in the same circles. They lived and produced work during the exact same time period. They were both Romantic poets. |
