SLAYER - Live Undead - Drum Cover

Dave Lombardo cannot be replicated! There's goofy fills on every opportunity possible so I tried my best to capture that loose reckless feel that Lombardo is known for.

That's it, my life is complete, someone has successfully nailed my favorite SLAYER song. You sir are my fav youtube drummer. *brofist*

[@joshsteffen]

Awesome dude! Brofist back at ya.

[@darrenmoore7779]

Well said 🥁

[@rogersudyk5234]

Well said buddy, I feel the same way. Well done Josh, well done 👏🏻

[@markqueen9459]

My favorite Slayer song too. That first Hanneman solo is why I play guitar. Dude, you killed it! Nice job!

[@Bushanie24]

could not agree more

[@joshsteffen]

Slayer! Live Undead

[@metalstrophe6471]

69th

[@robertblackmore703]

That’s ill, man. One of my favorite drum parts in their catalog. Just watched a video where Dave was playing Slayer requests to a small crowd... and NO ONE asked for this. Tragic.

[@gemineye76]

I know Reign in Blood is great, but South of Heaven is my album, I was 12 in '88, and this is the one that got me hooked. South of Heaven into Silent Scream into Live Undead is where its at, end it with Mandatory Suicide, Ghosts of War and Spill the Blood. Lombardo's best and that Slayer edge, nothing touches it. Reign in Blood was a precursor, a definition of ability, unmatched speed and power. Seasons in the Abyss was the comfort of deliverance of established and polished fortitude. But South of Heaven was that peak of all that came before and all that would be after, all was laid out in sonic perfection; a bit everything but still fresh, hard, technical, and timeless. Love me some Slayer and I'm not even a drummer (vox/rhythm), but Dave is what always set them apart over and above, no question. Lombardo isn't just a machine, he's the prototype and the cast, he's the program.

[@lennypignatello7493]

In the words of Cheech Marin holy sheep shit

[@lennypignatello7493]

Awesome !this never gets old

[@BandaDK]

lombardo is a fucking beast. so are you. well done

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks

[@briankeevan8134]

Holy Crap!!! That is beyond awesome!! 5 people evidently have "Thorazine, pumping thru their veins."

[@allenthacker2662]

Just got my first kit at age 42. I play guitar but always wanted to play drums. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@joshsteffen]

+Allen Thacker Awesome!

[@OscarWithC]

hows it going Allen now 2 years onward? :D

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

That is awesome, we're about the same age and I'd LOVE a set finally since I was like 10!

[@bellmeisterful]

Ha Ive said forever...all guitars wish they were drummers too

[@BluemanArthur]

What makes this hands down the best playing of this song is exactly how King described Lombardo, saying,” he’s like a train about to go off the tracks but just keeps it all together” totally awesome ❤❤❤❤❤

[@erikwalbert1815]

2:43 this guy is about to explode

[@gemineye76]

Still my favorite Slayer album. Great cover, Dave is a madman and you got it all practically seamlessly, great work.

[@jeoyt4909]

Dave Lombardo is such a legend, my favorite drummer, second favorite is Josh Steffen ;)

[@demonrule]

It's like...like watching someone paint Michael Angelo's Sistine Chapel from memory in exact detail while on crack. I keep coming back to this video...gets me pumped up!

[@FC-to5zp]

That was fucking AWESOME!!! In my world I know talent when I see it and you've got it. One of my favorite songs by Slayer and you nailed it. Great fucking job! That was fun to watch

[@medievalsorcery6413]

To me the drums always stood out in this song, a lot of variation going on in there. Flawlessly executed, nice!

[@jacky_1472]

I've watched this about a thousand times. Josh this is great. great slayer song and u do a class job of it. I used to play drums about 20 years ago I could never have played like this you a brilliant. happy Christmas!

[@sentientbeing6998]

best live undead cover of all youtube,congratulations

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks

[@TheCCMorgan]

This and Ghosts of War are my two favorite Slayer songs! Stoked that you covered both of them, I have no idea how I didn't see them 'till now. You're the man, man.

[@REYALSREIGN]

I consider this the epitome of a classic of a fan playthrough on this song. I've always appreciated the drum track... and you KILLED it... Bravo!!! Even 4 years later, I still enjoy this video.

[@williammelber6957]

I like how ya look at the camera during the song ya badass..awesome job

[@emoody1582]

Beast mode!!! Flawless victory! Cheers my friend!

[@virgildantefrazier1]

Absolutely Badass!!!!!

[@noahbennett2961]

Those fills at about 2:20 and 2:40 are monstrous

[@utidrummer]

I wanna play that fast!!!!!! You hit every note spot on man!!!!

[@Melisska]

Wow. Great job!

[@rafamtbdf]

best drum cover ever on history! As many here, I keep watching as an inspiration!

[@MrStrongbox]

Five jealous douchebags giving this thumbs down? Fuck, that was phenomenal Josh. Damn near perfect, literally.

[@leaterry27]

Quien fue tan careta en ponerle un negativo a este baterista jajajaja... Un genio increíble como lo interpreto!

[@cesarpareja2002]

Algún Pecho Frío tuvo que ser !!! 😂😂😂

[@ryanmarciano]

Fuckin A. That look you give at 2:41 is earned. Fun to watch. Such a great drum album.

[@justcallmebrody1245]

i know south of heaven is my favorite

[@raconteurful]

🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼 Mega smile on my dial. My Fave Slayer song too. And yes, nailed with skill and passion. thanks for the vid!

[@donnorante7358]

Slayer rocks good job man

[@louieferro12345]

[@024trooper24]

OMG!! great performance from one of my favorite songs. My respects to a great drummer

[@klockworkKLR]

Dead soul. Stone cold. Out into the night! Great job man.

[@Pyewack3t]

Spot on as always.

[@cliffemall1595]

[@emismaldone2980]

Neil Peart too!!

[@kevinkascolinkeithtimghera4305]

Oh man. That was like watching Lombardo himself. SUBBED FOREVER, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@bellmeisterful]

Reading the title I immediately remembered many of these drum parts and how badass it is and I havent heard the song in awhile. Great job.

[@Muser187]

I personally feel this is the baddest track from SoH. With Araya's eerie scream and lombardo's fill ins.

[@Sodier8345]

Live Undead (the song) is the Holy Grail of drumming in my opinion, and you nailed it. Well done.

[@JuanCarlosVillabon]

This upload has almost ten years now, but man.... it's impressing!, the best song from my favorite band made for a person who knows how to do it well, obscure thrash metal in the fuckin' brutal way! (yes, I feel an obscure and dense vibe in this song... SLAYER WILL NEVER DIES!!)

[@MatejSJ]

Just imagine how would the part at 0:59 sound through a big PA in an arena:D Amazing cover Josh!

[@ohefdubs]

That was frickking sick dude

[@HeadbangerSinHair]

HOLY SHIT!!! YOU ARE INSANE!!!

[@jarmyvicious]

Salut! Very nicely done, one of my favourites.... and you played it tasteful and perfect as I would ever wish to hear it! Cheers and Blessings!

[@frankbirds1]

Well done! Could be you on the album, as far as I'm concerned. One of my favorite songs as a 15 year old, 25+- years ago. I remember my first concert, circa 1994, Slayer Divine Intervention tour, Auckland Town Hall, New zealand. Supported by Biohazard. Lots of memories. Lots of firsts that night. Thanks for the vid

[@csanchez8365]

Awesome. Dave layed great drum riffs for everyone to enjoy!!

[@woodywoodturning]

Spot on ......love it ...

[@fl9020]

Well-done. You got the rolls down and crisp.

[@corey8941]

[@graphicsociety1]

That sounds like playing piano! And you make it sound effortless.

[@JGuitarCovers]

[@tigranmargaryan8617]

Yep. Sharp. This is it. Good job, Josh!

[@FC-to5zp]

Dude...Dude..Duuuudee.....That was fucking amazing....both my daughter have watched this and ghost of war several times...I'm not a drummer but she is and she loves your Slayer videos. Thank you...I fly big planes for a living, thrown an 8oz ball for a short time living and trade the stock market successfully but what I've seen here absolutely obliterates any of those. A true talent and thank for inspiring my girl.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks!

[@Özgür1Akıncı]

[@tarcizioalmeida120]

superb drum skills

[@jjdrums9581]

Great job!! Really well done!!

[@hellmuttcox]

first of all, I hereby pay my respect for the accuracy - I am quite convinced that even Dave is giving himself a little bit of freedom not to reflect everything perfectly during live performances and You nailed it exactly to the point. And to be very honest, your dynamics reminds me more of Paul, rather than Dave, but maybe it is just an an impression...

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks. ;) No-one sounds like Dave. Even if I hit everything right, Dave is Dave.

[@gamehog231]

+Josh Steffen gene hoglan is better... :D

[@whathefuckdood]

Flawless Victory!
