[@TheKenfowler5]

Damn bower power never misses a beat, love this line up!

[@TheKenfowler5]

I agree

[@dirtybeard70_Alivein85]

The goddamn great Jimmy Bower, love this lineup

[@s3v3nstr1ngd3m0n]

my favourite period of crowbar.. i think broken glass is absolutely superb..

[@Colintherabbit]

Valar Morghulis I agree. Absolutely relentless album. Just balls to the wall from beginning to end.

[@briangilmartin7616]

Never realized how tight bower was. Only took me 21 years. Saw them at the chance in Poughkeepsie on this tour. Broken glass

[@LichaelMewis]

But not as tight as Craig Nunenmacker.

[@ninjaneer1974]

I can't even imagine how loud that must be sitting next to the drums like that. Im deaf for Kirk lol super awesome that thundertyrant posted this though. love crowbar. thank you!

[@elmershiflett8154]

Damn, Kirk doesn't even look like Kirk, it's amazing what years can do

[@HANGINGWANG]

Broken Glass was really something! Shame Todd Strange is not heard from these days.

[@Rebornthrudoom]

HANGINGWANG Been talkin to him on Facebook lately.

[@BigMuff75]

Dope vid, I always watch this when I'm drunk. :-)

[@dimahissingsteam1577]

Bower's drumming is flawless, love Crowbar. Thanx!

[@daveyboy8907]

Man all that equipment in that little ass room...This footage is awesome its like your in the room...I couldn't fit in the room so I'm jamming my guitar right along..haha

[@cycobern]

Jay should've stay in the band...he's an awesome guitar player!!!

[@natebeakley5494]

Damn! They were all so young!

[@bradleymorris8875]

I’ve been up all night watching this. I think I have 12 Crowbar CDs. I liked Choke , Ceed , Trauma, Fall from Grace , Eye Hate God , Moon Crickets , Acid Bath , Graveyard Rodeo , Razor White , Oliver Magnum , Flesh Coat , I could go on and on. I kinda forgot about all of this. Bands played 7 days a week from Slidell , St.Bernard , Metairie, Houma , what a blast. Thanks for sharing. Art and Soul Electric Expressions this all just came back to me ... so rad. My chic is like .... you know these people? I’m like hell yes I worked in House of Shock. She does not believe me.

[@thundertyrant]

Bradley Morris we are all one big family brother!!

[@bradleymorris8875]

thundertyrant I’m going to guess. Are you Ross ?

[@thundertyrant]

Bradley Morris not Ross my Name's Al

[@bradleymorris8875]

thundertyrant The only Al that I remember owned or operated A-Rocks Mini storage... same Al ?

[@thundertyrant]

Nope. I use to play in Tungsten. I use to video and take pictures of all of the bands in the Nola scene from the late 80s through the the 90s. Great bands great friends and the moment needed to be documented.

[@majorccunliffe4662]

i had these sessions with this amazing drummer isolated like this..fuck me this takes me back...sick heavy stuff

[@vk3909]

Holy shit, strong video! ;)

[@kenrex247]

KILLER!! Loving the SAZ Piece behind the drummer!!🤘😎🤘

[@cyclops1092]

This drummer rules. What's his name and what is he doing these days? Playing for anyone?

playing in DOWN

[@youshouldgonow]

Jimmy Bower

[@Stophackingmyaccountidiots]

Down, Eyehategod. Played guitar in superjoint ritual and a shit tonne of other projects

[@chosenone2964]

Man...if we could just dial the clock back, I would be turning 30 that year

[@juniorspilatro]

Love it , keep 'em comin

[@KungFuChess]

always dug this drummer

[@rjc7289]

Crowbar -- the bastard child of Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus! Kirk always comes up with some interesting riffs!

[@Friendroid]

I bought a guitar a few years ago because of Crowbar and 9:41 Nothing was the first song I learned to play

[@mastodon1511]

God damn this is good

[@sudsysutherland359]

Didn’t the drummer play with “DOWN” later on down the road? I’m a huge “Type O Negative” & “CARNIVORE” fan & i know Kirk Weinstein is as well🤘Kirk ended up getting a cool “Type O” green coloured tattoo on his left hand on the top & it looks badass imo🤘

[@thundertyrant]

Jimmy was in Shell Shock / Aftershock / The Slugs Pre Crowbar. And also in EHG and The Drummer in Down. Great drummer and a genuine great dude. He and Kirk helped develop that sound. And Carnivore and early Type O were big influences along with The Melvins.

[@jamescooper-hope6930]

Saw JB with CoC, too. They absolutely slayed. Mean groove.

[@6672rock]

That Charvel Kirk is playing -- is it one of those San Dimas models from the early/mid 80's? I noticed he always played Charvel and Jackson guitars in Crowbar. You can really hear the Black Sabbath influence in every riff he plays.

[@mattparkin7224]

Not that you'll care 10 years later but it looks like a model 2

[@NJones-ru4hu]

It would have been cool to see Jay with Crowbar. I always loved WA/SAZ; still have all of their albums.

[@dickwhiskey8041]

I second all of this! Loved WA/SAZ!!

[@6672rock]

I didn't know Jimmy Bower played drums for Crowbar. I thought he was with Eyehategod and his and Kirk's paths only crossed in Down.

[@DirtbagIzHere]

Donald Pittman They played in shellshock in the early 80s

[@larry8297]

Can’t forget about the SLUGS!

[@daveyboy8907]

He was drummer for Coc also.

[@jakeybball]

All of those guys in the Louisiana sludge metal scene seemed to cross paths in at least a band or two. Pep, Kirk, Jimmy, Sammy etc have all been in bands together at one point or another.

[@BigMuff75]

Bower played on Broken Glass and Equilibrium.

[@Peekadam]

Holy fuck. That set-up is a enough to disembowel you in that little room.

[@midnightcassettelibrary5171]

Sick!!

[@branchdravidian]

Dope!

[@hutrputr]

nice vid,thx for that

[@davidjenson1570]

Every time I listen to them, I keep thinking they should have kept the name The Slugs.

[@thundertyrant]

Unfortunately they couldn't because another band called Doug and the slugs had the name copy written. But crowbar definitely works too

[@davidjenson1570]

@@thundertyrant Crowbar seems to fit pretty good. But, I got the idea of them using Victorian Blitz after mentioning The Slugs. Just a passing thought. Probably wouldn't have worked.

[@LichaelMewis]

Bower was good but Craig was on another level.

[@schuriken]

I can't believe he switched from Charvel to Dean....

[@schuriken]

***** haven't heard the new songs yet but I think he did that charvel justice

[@6672rock]

+Schuriken I'm surprised he can play riffs that low on a standard scale-length guitar without intonation problems. Those strings must be as massive as piano wire. Also, when did he endorse Dean guitars? You look at recent videos of Crowbar and Down, and he's jamming on an ESP Les Paul knock-off or a Gibson Explorer.

[@joshpelton3708]

+Schuriken He didnt switch from Charvel to Dean , he switched to Gibson and then Ltd/Esp and he has used Dean and Gibson since but now has a deal with Ibanez

[@kimfarr5399]

Does anybody know what the name of this song that they're practicing in the very beginning is

[@barbonwski2000]

BOWER POWER

[@Kampfwageneer]

it's funny can really hear the ...And Justice For All influence here even though metallica sucks balls compared to Crowbar...

[@lukeduffield3263]

Bit of a nerdy question - but anyone know what make of drum kit that is?

[@JasonPizzolato]

A Ludwig, I believe. As you can see, Jimmy removed the "udwig" & replaced it w/ "orcet", making it say "Lorcet". Ha! I had completely forgotten about that until I looked to check for ya. I shared a practice space w/ these cats & Stressball for about a year; it was right by the Huey P Long Bridge.

[@moloko_69]

What is the name of the first song played?

[@thundertyrant]

Diogo Tenan it's just a warm.up song I don't think it turned into anything you've just something most bands do just to kind of warm up and see if everybody's loud enough and they'll just make a riff up on the spot. That's usually where a lot of songs get written in that accidental phase of accidentally recreating something really cool

[@blake1948]

@@thundertyrant Bummer. its a sick riff

[@TaiganTundra]

1:15 song?

self inflicted from the "crowbar" album

Ohh with Jay Abbene! I saw that SAZ on the amp and thought is that Souls At Zero...and then there's Jay. Badass!
