Gary Young era Pavement?

the roots

Lots of cool mentions, I'll be looking into alot of these. I'd forgotten Hella. I have a friend who's pretty big into them.

Chris Corsano is ridiculous. After even brief searches, there's some out of control stuff coming out of that guy, really interesting.

Smashing Pumpkins ?

Yeah I really like Jimmy Chamberlin's playing, I technically don't know much about drumming though...

ha ha good one; check out the slow century DVD live footage from the early shows. It makes your little brother's shitty garage band sound like the Foo Fighters.:D

I'd say John Mc Entire from Tortoise. And as said above, Christian Vander from Magma.
Concerning Chamberlain, from the videos I used to see... well, I tend to desagree, he's ok, but he's not THE man on stage.

Glenn Kotche did a pretty cool solo show today.


i'd also add in Emil Amos to this list. and possibly John Convertino and John McIntire.

Poor Keith Moon I saw the poor bastard OD at a live show. They had his drum set propped up at least 15 feet above the stage. What a thud. He was great though.

Is that the show where they had to get someone from the audience to play after he'd od'd on an elephant tranquliser? It's on some VHS compilation I've got.

I think Greg Saunier from Deerhoof has to be added to this list.

Nope it was at the Boston Garden and that was it the show was over. They cameback 4 months later to do a makeup show. I had tickets the same night for Robin Trower so I opted to see him as I had never seen him. The Who had played two weeks before the OD show in Providence and I caught that show as well as seeing the Who 3 other times so it made Robin T. the easy choice. Needless to say he was awesome but played to short a show at basically an hour and half.
