Humble. Polite. Mild-mannered. Incredibly talented to the point of defining a genre. It sickens me that a musician of such calibre could have been so horrendously treated by his former band - for years on end, apparently. Mr. Lombardo definitely deserves whatever good things he has left in life coming to him.

Best metal drummer in history...Tom and Kerry were not businessman..everyone in Slayer should have made over a million a year. They weren't even close to that. The band makes the label..not the other way around.. especially when your already successful. I don't blame Dave for leaving. If he oversaw the contracts, they would have made alot more $$$.

[@tytlersbicycle]

Dave is the nicest guy. Back in the 90’s during one of his breaks from Slayer, he was touring with Grip Inc and some friends and I went to see them. After the show, my friends were hanging around the tour bus waiting to get an autograph and I, ever the shy, reserved type, was standing a little farther away waiting for them. Dave made his way through the crowd to introduce himself to me…. a random 19-year-old kid. It forever left an impression on me. What a guy!

[@madbutler6022]

When I was in my late 20s i went to see Testament. They were touring for Gathering and I got to meet everyone after the show. Dave was drumming for them at the time. He and everyone else signed my CD. Still have it to this day

[@JamesGilbert_]

That Tribe Called Quest vinyl was a huge surprise for me. One thing I've learned from watching these videos is that a lot of metal musicians have absolutely eclectic tastes in music.

[@gsnwhodat]

Real musicians listen to all styles of music .

[@jlobiafra]

It's mainly the metal fans that are the close minded ones

[@aaronmartinez5029]

Not too surprised because rap and metal musicians back then liked the opposite genre. Eazy E was a big metal fan. Dr. Dre liked Nirvana’s Bleach album so much, he kept it and sold all his other vinyl LP’s. Then you got guys like Necrobutcher from Mayhem liking The Beastie Boys. I myself love metal and rock music but I also like to listen to older rap from the 80’s and 90’s

A big part of me being a metalhead are people like Dave: They are not just playing in a certain band, their passion is music in general. They are at the top, but they respect and admire others. I'm not getting tired of saying that these series not only opened my mind to other styles and artists, but also showed me a part of myself that I love: my musical journey was not about the bands I listened to, it was about the people in these bands, that gave music a soul.

[@nesticle]

Dave Lombardo is on my drumming Mt. Rushmore, and this video reinforces why that is. His eclectic taste, willingness to draw elements from many diverse music genres, and his positive attitude towards all types of music and musicians is just magnetic. He's kinda like the Mike Patton of drums.

[@Gael_the_Dread]

I have trouble believing he actually didn't have two of the most owned punk albums EVER. I think he genuinely wants people to know about them. Bless him. Haha

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I don't care what anyone says , Dave lombardo is the reason we have super fast extreme double bass drumming in metal music , he entirely changed the direction of metal ( thrash) when reign in blood first came out , unless you were there you will never understand how different , heavy, fast, and skillful and technical Dave's playing was on that album , drummers and metal heads were absolutely blown away by the way Dave played super fast double bass as the main back bone of his beats was just unheard of , every other thrash drummer who was around at that time have all said , when they first heard Dave's feet they were floored and knew they had to step their game up Until that point the fastest double bass drumming for the most part was stuff like , fast as a shark , ace of spades ,that was basically the fastest most extreme double bass playing that existed in metal , until reign in blood .

[@iachtulhu1420]

Yeah, in metal that much is true, but in punk, and especially hardcore punk, things were much more extreme, angry, fast and abrasive at that time, much more so then in metal. Metal only later started to resemble extreme punk in intensity due to direct punk influence, of course. To hear is to believe. Just check out Sweden's Asocial or Shitlickers for reference. It's fricking '82. Accept and Venom or bands like that were the nastiest metal around. When you compare this to those Swedish abominations, it's obvious.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

@@iachtulhu1420 That's why I said metal , I remember hearing s.o.d and Charlie do a blast beat it blew my mind , then the mid to late 80s gave us drummers like Steve ashiem who completely to extreme metal drumming to the next level .

I love that he picked up The Madcap Laughs. There are some really great Syd songs on his solo works that make people haven't heard.

[@Coloradiohead]

Saw Lombardo last night with Mr. Bungle. was absolutely INSANE. Lombard's drums will pummel you into dust

[@b.nash.7778]

I've been watching some of the live footage. I really wish Bungle would start visiting their entire catalogue again. I did see they've brought My Ass Is On Fire into the set. And the Territory cover was awesome.

[@Coloradiohead]

@@b.nash.7778 I definitely would have loved to hear more classic Bungle, especially anything from California, so I get that. But I think since they don't have a keyboard player in the lineup it would be really difficult to play most of those songs. Plus Patton is a troll and he purposely wanted to fuck with fans by only playing Wrath of the Easter bunny, I never even listened to it until they rereleased it. Just getting to see all those legends on stage though made it all worth it, so I didn't really care if they only played the thrashy stuff, and yes they did do My Ass Is On Fire for the encore and it was probably my favorite moment of the night.

[@mbeachtantrum]

[@frigidpony]

I could tell from the start that there would be zero metal in his bag. Most of Dave's favorites are also my favorites, he really seems to enjoy music in all its myriad forms, which is obvious from the variety of projects that he has been involved with. Early Pink Floyd is very underrated, it is a shame that more people aren't familiar with Syd Barrett, despite the band's best effort to keep his memory alive. "The Madcap Laughs" is such an iconic, weird and difficult album and deserves a listen for anyone not familiar with it.

I knew the moment I heard Dave Lombardo on Slayer’s Show No Mercy debut album in 1983 that he would be my all time favorite drummer. He had to become one of the greatest amidst the chaos of that band and still stand out as a huge drummer with an unmistakable identity. Hard to believe it was 40 years ago when that introduction first hit me across my body and mind. So glad that he has kept himself busy throughout his career. Interesting record collection there Dave.

Also Dave picking Penderecki and Low End Theory (Talk about a CLASSIC, thats one right there) puts a big smile on me.
