Alex Rudinger - Slipknot - "Left Behind"

[@Jono_]

I LOVE how you play all the 8th notes on the hats/crash/chinas so intensely. Very reminiscent of Joey's style. This is an excellent homage to him. RIP

[@neonblack211]

yeah he did that right

[@KrillSmith]

The People=Shit drum cam was the reason I got a double pedal when I was younger. Joey probably got more drummers into metal that anyone else, he’s an absolute legend. Insane cover man, you have to be the tightest drummer in the world right now.

[@JoeMoss83]

Joey is great, but there're so many influential drummers that came before him. For me it was Vinnie Paul.

[@B8zey155]

@@JoeMoss83 it depends on age really I guess, as I grew up with slipknot etc. Cowboys from hell for instance, is as old as me

[@slybeat420]

Joey was the reason for metal but drums was john bonham

[@KrillSmith]

Lots of people have had a big influence on metal drumming for sure, but this video is kind of of a tribute to Joey so I think it’s more fitting to talk about his legacy.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Fir me it was the first time I heard Sic that got me into double bass but yes. Joey was the drummer that did it.

[@berenjarrett4210]

Joey did so much for modern metal, truly a pioneer. rest easy legend

[@Flakum]

Love the attention to detail.

[@Skeware]

This is the best Slipknot drums cover I've seen so far, and there's thousands of them on youtube. Just Perfect!!!

[@cussyrichards6121]

The triplet fill at 2:46 is one of Joey's greatest touches imo - it sounds like some sort of locomotive revving up and accelerating

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Awesome to watch you never letting up with the power at any stage of the track. A true tribute to Joey and ‘Iowa’. R.I..P.

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

That snare sounds so friggin good. Some really cool parts in this song! 🤘🤘

[@frank0_drums]

yeah it's incredible that it's Lars Ulrich Sig.

[@shawn22992]

@@frank0_drums ya i was worried it was going to have st anger vibes 🤣🤣🤣

[@bradcollier3040]

That signature snare actually is great when the wires are on. I had one for years and I miss the fuck out of it.

[@thecraigfish8316]

this is by far the best left behind cover I've ever seen, if not the best slipknot cover period (accuracy wise)

[@MELODIMUSIK]

Perfect 🔥

[@waveemann8857]

It sounds so different with this mix, I've heard this song a million times and I'm hearing aspects of the recording/production I didn't really notice before. Really glad you got your hands on those stems. That shell finish nutso too

[@officialfretsonfire]

So aggressive yet so controlled and accurate, perfect metal drumming, just fantastic

[@musicmann12]

I felt this performance deep in my soul. On the verge of tears and I have goosebumps. Joey did more for me than I even understand and you as an artist are in the same boat for me. I had the pleasure of seeing you play for The Faceless at a summer slaughter tour here in El Paso. Thank you for this and everything else you do. #drumsaresick

[@MoyaSanhueza]

The best !!! Greetings from Chile, Alex.

[@crespyACE]

This guy among one of the greats in my list to watch and listen too

[@georgeorwell382]

THX Alex , RIP JOEY , never forget

[@death_metal_dad87]

This is the dude I've been waiting for in the slipknot cover world. I'm sure Joey would've enjoyed every second of it. Especially that damn snare sound!!!

[@kanedalton7017]

That was incredible, so much passion singing along aswell! Fantastic tribute to joey! RIP

[@mikelocke9325]

That was an Excellent performance. Totally Awesome

[@redcap5616]

Alex's Left Behind and Adam Bjork's Disasterpiece might be the best sounding covers of slipknot. Good job man

[@sammyloehnis3373]

Nah Eloy Casagrande's cover of the heretic anthem wins

[@fortyseven915]

Krimh's covers of Eyeless and Three Nil are pretty great too

[@Robert-nv5lj]

Eloy’s people=shit cover is worth mentioning. That’s a beast play through. Ps They are all amazing!

[@darinrobinson8159]

David Diepolds Eeryore is pretty damn amazing too

[@redcap5616]

I had completely forgotten about all those covers, thanks for reminding me about them

[@jaredweed5060]

One of my favorite things about your drumming is watching you sing along. It makes it all the more apparent that you FEEL the music, and aren't just going through the motions of it. Well done as always.

[@TheMetalFreshTiger]

Great as always!!! Rest In Power Joey 🤘🤘🤘

[@DanielBrito]

The sound of this snare is amazing!!!!

[@michaeltronson]

Absolutely crushed it Rudi! Handled those tempo fluctuations seamlessly!

[@007dust]

You never fail to impress my friend, keep em coming!

[@Wherespaulbearer]

Power. Precision. Passion. You've got it all my man.

[@angelocrisostomo7477]

Awesome cover 👌 👏 😎. Sounds really good. Best regards from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.

[@nickx1754]

Fantastic playing and nice mix/production as well!

[@chvrliemike]

Dude YES, can't believe I'm just now seeing this! 🔥

[@sebastianstemplinger]

Perfekt Cover 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@KRIMHDrummer]

If you hit a bit harder you will break the die-cast hoop from your Lars snare! 🔥 Awesome cover Rüdi! Its SICKK

[@oscarpena4581]

Sos un capo Alex. Saludos desde Argentina !!!

[@WiktorBOSS]

Joey, where ever you fucking are, all of Your music still brings joy and freedom. I love this kind of passion on the faces of drummers around the world playing Your fucking masterpieces over and over again. I have no speech. This cover? 11/10. At least. I love it. Thank You!

[@PeteBarberDrums]

Amazing stuff dude!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@paul396]

It‘s so clean and yet full of nice nuanced fills. 😍

[@Edg1086]

Bro!!! That snare though! Sounds so phat yet so crisp. One of the best sounding snares on recording. Recording sound makes all the difference in the world and then you add in Alex and it takes it to a whole other level. I’m not even gonna start on how beautiful those toms sing.

[@Jagermonsta]

that was beautiful. thank you RIP Joey

[@ryanlawrence8305]

Absolutely killed it Alex!!!

[@The_JustJoshing]

Awesome cover man! I agree with everything you said in the description. This album hit me at a time when I really needed it as well. R.I.P. Joey.

[@boydkronberg7278]

Any cover Alex does is so spot on \m/

[@mrmikey127]

Never disappoint, man. Great job. Always a great day when you post!

[@jason1888]

That was a day maker! Awesome Alex. Like always.

[@andrewscott1712]

Thanks for doing this Alex. He was a huge inspiration to us all. I identify with everything you wrote as well. Cheers!

[@davidtorresampai8809]

Thanks for this!!! absolutely amazing!

[@NickyBolas]

I would not expect you to be any less than perfect for this. Well done man.

[@ND-iz6dd]

Loved it Alex! One of my favorite slipknot songs! R.I.P Joey.

[@seven8time]

the constant intensity of the 8th notes on the hi-hat in the verse really contribute to the groove. so many play the typical "strong weak" pattern there, but it really needs to be all strong like you played it :D

[@fodorpeetya]

Wow, never seen a note perfect playthrough before... amazing work Alex!

[@Cal.lm96]

New sounds give them old tracks new breath !🤩

[@DanMullally]

Also my favorite Slipknot song. Incredible performance/mix as always dude.

[@B8zey155]

One of my favourite songs by slipknot, off what I think is definitely their best album!! Glad to see a cover of it as most people choose the most popular ones to cover

[@michelmunoz6491]

the best drum cover doesn't exist . . . sick alex!!!!

[@thecraigfish8316]

[@Jobber_84]

that snare has never been hit so hard in its life! Well done man!!!

[@bosoSTUku]

Always been my favourite Slipknot track!

This is, hands down, the BEST Slipknot drum cover I’ve ever seen. Every detail and nuance is there. Joey would be proud, Rüdi. Hats all the way off 🖤

[@orintrost8611]

thanks for playing this song!!

[@neonblack211]

i love the ending to this song

[@Consural]

Excellent playing as always, Alex.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

The video to this song is what introduced me to Slipknot at 12 years old. It was totally disturbing and captivating at the same time. It's still my favourite Slipknot song to this day and you've really done it justice with this cover! 👊

[@camilovaras9084]

best drums cover for this song!!

[@kenkamman7536]

one of your best videos ever! the Lars signature snare is killer! awesome job and super intense! 🤘🤘

[@allenbrowning1551]

Need more of this. I dig all of your vids but these mainstream metal racks are my fav! ❤️ 🤘🏼

[@spantney]

Incredible work as always Rudi.

[@graxy_tv]

I mean....Slipknot should call Alex to take Jay's spot. 100%

[@disaffected_malcontent]

Beautiful tribute.

[@SkJoey]

Best cover on KZbin so far!

Amazing. The parts, the feel. Spot on my dude!

[@AboutForget]

This is so beatiful.

[@MisaUlises87]

Amazing cover Alex. One of my favorite old school classics of slipknot. Intense!!! Pd: I have to continue asking for one Blotted Science cover. I think anyone here know you would rule anyone. Synaptic Plasticity would be just unreal. But I love them all. Damnn I jsut fucking admire Blotted Science and you Alex are the candidate to play them all.

[@ASDDrums]

Totally spot on cover!! The drums sound amazing especially the snare, the tone is totally awesome!!!

[@NikkeK]

I LOVED this!

Great Work Alex...
