I saw this guy play a double-headline set with both Origin and Gorguts. That was like an hour and 45 minutes of playing like this. It was nuts. So good.

[@Crowbar11115]

Paul from Origin worked at the Guitar Center I used to go to. We had a great conversation about how ridiculously talented John is. Paul said John would literally just zone out during rehearsals, start staring off into the distance while blowing bubble bum and exisiting on autopilot. He said the entire band would be sweating...but John looked like he was reading a book waiting for a bus. Hahaha

[@drumSick66]

I've seen this guy live several times. Yes going this speed for an hour, and looks like the easiest thing on earth. Made me almost cry! I call him "The world's most frustrating drummer".

[@maxsoap5650]

Id say you look more like Phil Collins more then Bruce Willis

[@rishimehra5231]

Ahh, we've come back to o'l John legstrength have we, a classic

[@Cryptic1911]

I saw longstreth play with the band origin probably 5 years ago in a small club and my buddy and I were standing probably 10 feet to the side and got to watch him jam for probably 45 minutes straight. He's an absolute master. It was an amazing amazing show

[@metalheadmnw]

The most impressive part to me about Longstreth is his economy of movement. He's never over exaggerating anything. It's all the least amount of effort possible to conserve energy.

[@kaynesantor8136]

I'm surprised you haven't checked out Lord Marco Pitruzelli. His work with Braindrill is probably his best known stuff. Hes definitely on Longstreths level and wavelength. Hes a beast.

[@Nefville]

Longstreth is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Speaking of cold starts, that's the one thing I have struggled with the most, going from a dead stop to 290 bpm is really really hard but if you watch just before he gets back into it, look at the beaters, where they are and the muscles in his arms. You pre-tense everything and then release but its hard.

[@ZachGatesHere]

And just think, John doesn't rehearse. At all.

[@bigstef2010]

This guy is a machine. outstanding drummer. his playing is so clean and precise.

[@dibsyD]

i swear im gonna get cramp in my calf muscles tonight just from having watched that.

[@Darkslide632]

When it comes to extreme metal, there is no one better IMO.

[@merriamlangdon6693]

I've known John for almost 25yrs. Amazing guy and I miss seeing his face everyday.

[@tommyf6576]

Origin guys are really down to earth. Quick story:

[@jdguisseppe5732]

The gravity blasts are insane. What is nuts is how perfectly he makes his one stick rolls line up with the heel-toe double base. You wouldn't think it is possible if you didn't see and hear it.

[@michaelmcclellan5781]

Ken Bedene from Aborted is master of 'casual' extreme metal drumming.

[@mikeking5070]

The NICEST man ever! I've had the pleasure of talking drums with him several times through out the years. A beast among men!
