John Longstreth - Origin - Disease Called Man - Feat. Jeff Grindstopher of SDM

[@XueYlva]

this is stupidly amounts of underrated incredible band

[@lordmarco]

This was the song that introduced me to the Gravity Blast... (from the 2000 relapse sampler CD). Oh to be 15 again. This video fucking rules

[@DOOM.SLAYER666]

Hey bro, its MINOTAUR, I was the same, haha ,hearing gravity blasts for the first time was ORIGIN self-titled album and it blew me away, I was like "what the heck is happening?" Haha 🤘

[@iLikeToHitThings]

Saaaaame

[@markslade6744]

That is outrageous. I think I expended more energy watching him play than he seemingly did playing it.

[@kaylanwade3392]

That era of Origin had such crazy energy. Love it

[@bultronlagore4932]

Yeah dude. I was lucky enough to see them in 2001 in Winston-Salem NC at Ziggy’s when they played with Nile. Both bands were phenomenal live. I was blown away by John behind the kit looking like a machine showing no fatigue signs at all. Plus Origin play there songs faster live which is a real treat to see/hear. Origin still has a great energy live though.

[@welderdude1]

Actually learned the "gravity blast" from John at a show during the Contaminated 2.0 Tour. Killer drummer. 🤘

[@mateuszjedrzejczyk6791]

I think I did as well, may be from Entity album, can't remember ;)

[@schillinger7814]

"Disease Called Man" was the first song I heard from Origin, it was on one of the Relapse "Contaminated" compilations back then. I've been a fan since.

[@battoreddu9303]

Me too! First time I heard a gravity blast too. I thought it was recorded with a drum machine back then. I discovered at least 80% of my favorite albums from that compilation. Calculatinf infinity,black seeds of vengeance,sadness will prevail,diabolical conquest,through silver in blood,inhalen/exhale,destroy the opposition,and the list goes on

[@NetherlordAxenrot]

Longstreth is one of a handful of absolute best in slot drummers out there. Right with Kolias and Lord Marco. 🔥🤘

[@Cinerary]

Marco is a fucking gimmick. Kolias eats his lunch.

[@Lord.nigthfalll_92]

Lord Marco is awesome. 🔥🔥

[@bagzy868]

Kollias I think has been surpassed. He's still amazing but guys like Ken Bedene, David Diepold and Eugene Ryabchenko have taken the forefront for some time now. Those guys are top for me. Inhuman stuff they pull off.

[@endowednigerian]

​@@bagzy868youre totally right! i saw nile not too long ago and george sounded a bit tired and uninspired tbh. i expected his drumming to be unbelievable but left a bit disappointed. for me nils will always be the king! his power and brutality are insane to watch

[@Ben_zin]

And with Kevin Paradis

[@milansikela8383]

Ridiculous over-the-top awesome. Of the several times I've seen Origin live, I remember the first time I saw them around the turn of the millennium. I stood there mesmerized by the absolute superhuman drumming. Remembering Dave Lombardo's double bass break on the the track Angel of Death from Slayer's 1986 masterpiece album Reign in Blood (which, as a teenage drummer back then, was incredible for its time), when I saw Origin live for the first time, John did that double bass break but faster and held it from one song through the break between songs into the next song. I was completely captivated. At the time (circa 2000) it was the next step beyond for drumming. The next level in the progression of badassery. Nowadays, of course, extreme drummers start from there and get crazier and even more insanely over-the-top. I love it. The true masters of the beat. John makes it look so second nature. Just blows me away how such drumming greatness is made to look so effortless. Shows you the level of talent with extreme drummers. Just life-changingly epic.

[@elchemeleon516]

He’s one of those drummers that are so inspiring to watch. I wasn’t gonna play drums today, cause I’m tired, but now I am gonna practice! Thanks John 🤘

[@diabolusabsconditus]

every time ive seen these guys live i stand on the stage and specifically watched john. dudes a machine and small venue shows are sick. great band, really nice guys

[@Paradis80]

John's performance on Origin's self-titled debut set a bar that drummers have been using as the standard for 24 years... Still the craziest f**king thing i've heard

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!! It is always a treat seeing John play, the Chaosmos tour was awesome too.

[@DannyWalkerDrummer]

Still one of my favorite songs off that first record. 🤘🏻 Always killin it John!

[@antonmunnik3315]

Mental that he plays like that without ever looking like it takes any effort at all. Absolute machine.

[@Michael_Michaels]

This man level of mastery is above the charts! It blows my mind to watch him play the most difficult drum arrangement in a matter that it looks easy.

[@elchemeleon516]

Ha ha yeah

[@Danalmagrodrumsnbass]

Wow! Awesome how this man can play so relaxed and solid. Nice track

[@ianshomemovies]

very nice

[@markavery6713]

Still remember when this album came out! What a time for death metal. Then the tour! 99-2000 was indeed cosmic!!🖤🖤🥁🥁🤘👊

[@DavidCulross]

John killing it as always 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@mUznikiKolymy]

Awesome drum work! The main rule is relaxation!

[@sciomancy6]

Insane!

[@welderdude1]

Great tune. Saw him play this a long time ago.

[@f4d3r_tv]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Typhoon0627]

Gotta say I'd love to see some videos of John cranking out some old Angel Corpse tunes... Christhammer or Wartorn would amazing! Angel Corpse's "Exterminate" album is still in rotation for me after all these years. 20+ years later those songs should be a piece of cake for him compared to what he's doing in Origin. Although, he probably wouldn't even want to play any of those songs... I know the drum tracks on that record were edited to hell and back and the recording of that album didn't go so well for the band which I think lead to John's departure which was not on good terms.... though I could be wrong.

[@Paradis80]

I would love to see him play both those tracks as well, but i think you're right... Though I've never "looked it up" or spend any time digging, I'd heard similar things about Exterminate... When Origin's ST album came out, the local metal head at the record store was like "Check this out dude, it's the craziest thing you ever heard. The drummer from AngelCorpse was kicked out for not being fast enough, so he went into hiding and practice nonstop for 2 years and dropped this bomb!..." it was a story that captured my attention, anyway

[@Gregwaaaaaah]

Oooooohh HELL yes!

[@wiwi888]

what a monster ! the king of blast ☠🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟☠

[@hateeternalmaver]

When the universe aligns, and all the stars are right and everything falls into place - even then you won't achieve that level of control over drumming! ;P all hail John Longstreth _bowing down unworthily_

[@xenoslayer217]

NEVER disappoints!!!

[@lastditch727]

2.5 minutes of eternal blasting.

[@arsssis]

Drumming is good blah blah but how the fuck has he not aged in the last 20 ish years? Impressed!

[@deathmetaldave]

Killer ☠🕷

beast!

THE FUCKING MAN!!!

I'm here because of pearl new pedal

[@ChaosPootato]

Body language says "Enter Sandman", how can you be so relaxed playing that kind of music :D

[@HaggardBacon]

breaking out the classic

[@F3PIZZA]

Both those hats have pedals? Love the symmetry of what John does.

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

Kinda sucks this is an overdub. John Longstreth is a badass! Shoulda let em shine!

[@sebben13]

He's chillin, probably thinking about what he's going to have for dinner 😂

[@Cinerary]

He doesn’t look like he skips many dinners. He’s got a ways to go to reach Hoglan tho 😂

[@eduardmoskovtsev5107]

Роскошно!

[@angryjoegaming]

The thing I don't get about some of these drummers is how in the hell do they look so relaxed playing this stuff. I mean I know being relaxed is a key component to playing at these blistering speeds but damn.

[@ryanh1892]

Don't get me wrong: I'm a fan, and I loved watching them live, and I'm not even a drummer ... but this audio is pretty clearly not matching up with the video, right? Why are we getting the studio version vs the real audio of his playing?

[@lordmarco]

Ya I noticed that too. However I believe the "actual take" used for the video is on the camera that is near his floor tom (right side) ... 0:17 I could be wrong, but ya, I'm assuming they wanted to make a Multicam angle video and probably only have 1 or 2 cameras. And then he just played the song like 5 times and they took clips from each camera 🤷‍♂️ This is why I personally just use 1 camera and that is it. So you can tell it is the 1 Live take. (Plus I only have 1 camera 😅) Aside from that we all know John rules 🤘🏻

[@ZimzeLimze]

Saw the same thing and it kinda frustrated me 😅 not bashing John at any point, But it was kinda annoying seeing the video not matching with audio a couple of times. Especially towards the ending.

[@ZimzeLimze]

But man he is so intense, yet so relaxed!

[@ryanh1892]

@@lordmarco I appreciate a response from a man who knows! I'd lean to having "only" 1 camera view if that's what it takes to get sync'd audio/video...IMO playthrough videos demonstrate talent on the instrument not video editing. Maybe the multiple angles get more views, etc.? (I know for guitar too it seems en vogue to have 5 different views and cut back and forth every 0.2 seconds because OH THE MUSIC IS INTENSE THE CAMERA JUMPS SHOULD BE TOO!) But again I'm not criticizing anyone involved, just my two cents. Love the exposure for this kind of music!

[@mattbell555]

@@lordmarco no this is straight from the studio 100%

[@jeremyfaulkner1048]

Really curious to know why Sick Drummer Magazine continue to delete any mention of the DVD Longstreth never released? Don’t you think those who contributed money to fund the project are owed an explanation?

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

Because it's none of our business, nor the people who follow our channel. If you have an issue with John or a DVD, please get in touch with the parties involved directly. Thank you.

[@John.Longstreth]

So the DVD has been shot twice. The first time it was shot they ran into some sort of transcoding error and they said it couldn't be saved. We shot it again and put a bunch of our own money into it and it was going smooth albeit a bit slow, and then covid happened. It's now done, and we will be announcing a release date soon. Unfortunately most of it is out of my hands, but it's going to happen. My apologies for how long it has taken. It's been a thorn in my side for way too long.

It looks like he's using TrigMic LaserPick kick drum trigger, is it? 🤔

[@mattiasjansson733]

Had a problem with Origin and Archspire in the past. Wanted so bad to like them, but the grunts kept me back. Then l learnt to treat them as embellishments and see the bands as instrumental ones. And lo and behold, it worked. Now l love them, finally

[@TheInditribe]

Do I spy the brand new Pearl Speed Pedals??

Is that a Blues Brother in the corner?

Is this video really bad synced? So many shots and angles in the video that show something different than what you hear.

[@Syphon_Drummer]

Definitely a few different takes edited together. So sometimes you’re hearing one take but seeing another.

Agent Smith would be proud of this

I'm just saying, it's no wonder Erik Rutan hired this guy to record drums on an album lmao.

1:39 ???

He's thinking: "Hm, what did I eat for dinner last night?". I'm thinking: "Hm, I play drums since 32 Years and still don't know how to tune my snare right".

What!!! I can't think far🤦‍♂️🤔

[@brunogoncalves8241]

this play is clearly not from the video.

Would be nice to hear the audio from what hes playing in the video. Not the recording of the song

Поддубный же, ну.

[@jeromed2]

I am into metal with bands like Omnium Gatherum and some Insomnium with old Opeth as well (listen to the album Lamentations, the harder stuff disc, for example), but I don't understand why some would enjoy this kind of non melodic brutal metal music...Not fun to hear, not fun to play. I can't imagine what kind of people those are in real life...The opposite of us I guess.
