    Danny Carey relies on his demon assistants and sacred drum alignments, which is a shame because it’s all complete garbage. I guess the difference between me and Danny is that I know why they’re called hallucinogenics. And I can’t play drums nearly as well.

    But I digress… Travis Barker frustrates me to no end because despite all of his flawless technique, he still flails like a drowning child. And I really, really, really hated the Transplants. He’s undeniably one of the most technically talented drummers on the rock scene, but in my books that doesn’t count for much. However, in the context of Blink 182, he manages to take straightforward pop music and make complex drum beats sound great, something nobody seems able to do these days. And forget all of the lyrical pandering to the ‘misunderstood teenagers’ who comprise most of their fanbase, Mark & Tom know how to write a good pop song start to finish.

    F-y’all haters, I’m excited for this.

    why wouldn’t you be taken seriously? I don’t like how its such a sin to like an immature/over-dramatic pop-punk band. I’ll pop in All Killer No Filler and sing my brains out regardless of who is in the car. :metal:

    :D High Fidelity

    I’d like that movie so much more if it was about the bald guy.

    I’d like it so much more if they hadn’t moved it to the USA!

    Thank You!!!!! They are way more talented than all of the other pop-punk bands out there now!

    Patrick Keeler could also beat Barker’s unimaginative ass when it comes to drummin’.

    I agree, but it’s hard to argue that it was perfectly cast as an American film. Being one of the cats who saw the movie first, I actually found it hard when I was reading the book to imagine anyone else playing the male characters. Aside from the fact that I had to give them all British accents in my head…

    Patrick Keeler, if I recall, plays for the Raconteurs? Or is it the Black Keys? If it’s the Raconteurs, then he embodies everything I dislike about rock drumming. It’s obvious the guy is extremely talented, but he just plays the same old rock beats. I guess he’s going for a ‘simple, unflashy’ sound, but there’s a difference between being uninteresting and being ‘rootsy’… Also, you can be creative without being a showboat. Barker’s a showboat, but at least he’s trying to do something new.

    But while we’re on the subject of drummers, I think that the last two Melvins albums undeniably boast the best drums on the planet. Also, check out the Black Eyes if you haven’t already – rad rad double drums, in an angry artpunk way. Of course there’s the old classic, Do Make Say Think, who practically perfected the double drums idea, and even though they’re not technically a double drum group, the Liars have a rad approach and I like it alot. Double drums are the most awesome invention ever, assuming both cats know how to play off of each other; Kylesa is actually pretty cool for that. The only real purpose of having two drummers seems to be so that they can play the same beat but one does a fill on the toms and the other stays on the cymbals… it’s interesting, and it sounds way cooler than double kick.

    yeah, I liked them loads up until the ‘warning’ album then I went off them…..Kerplunk is great and poppy and I thought insomniac was a fine album.

    Blink 182? Gross. They helped to almost snuff out the life of punk-rock. They were one of the reasons that all the “punk” bands on the radio (which in itself is a total oxymoron) sound like schoolgirls playing daisy rock guitars.
