[QUOTE=plaidbassbilly]I agree. Travis does some pretty amazing stuff, but he isn't the best ever. I've seen some of Longineau Parsons from Yellowcard drum solos, and he struck me as better than Travis.[/QUOTE]
Not me, he's good, but not better than Travis. Nicko McBrain is a sweet drummer, in my opinion most likely the best, although no one would ever back me up on that..They'd say Zeppelin's drummer, or someone stupid like that.

yeh alot of drum forum people think all the old drummers are soooo good.... travis has alot of speed which makes him sound good... Check out the guy from Rush listen to yyz

Neil Peart is sick also. The Yellowcard drummer is a lot like Travis.

im not a fan of neil peart (i think thats his name..guy from rush)...dont get me wrong, he's an amazing drummer! but i personally think his setup is WAY too big i think the 3 drummers alkaline trio has recorded with (glenn porter, mike felumlee, and derek grant) are extremely talented...theyre all really fast AND they add creativity to the stuff alk3 does...while travis barker on the other hand basically does the same style beat for more than half of their songs...ocassionally he'll throw in some latin or funk beat over a rock beat, and change up the bass drum...he does have good fills though...and he's only fast because he's been playing since he was 4 and he did almost everything possible for snare drum in high school that will definately build up some speed

so i hear mark can do slap bass pretty well?

ive never heard that ....??^^^^^^^

I've never seen Mark slap

can he slap pretty well though?

Well...I don't think he ever slaps really, considering he plays with a pick. I could be wrong, but it would make sense.

thats what i thought... but this guy thinks he can slap

He slapped a little on one of the videos for the production of the nS/t album if i remember rightly, he seemd to be able to do it ok. Id expect him to be able to he's been playing bass for 15 years or something.

As if Mark Hoppus would be any good at slap. And Neil Peart is an awesome drummer.

i know hoppus plays with a pick, but somebody on here said they saw a video of him playing slap bass and he was a lot better than people think since he has such simple bass lines with blink

and i never said neil peart wasn't an awesome drummer...actually i said he IS an awesome drummer...just said i dont like his setup, its too complex for my liking...but at least he knows how to rock a set that big

I couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole podcast. : /

Lazy Ben. I haven't got to listening to the podcast yet.

It just sounds too boring if we don't even get atleast a preview of the music.

:(

If you've been playing bass for 15 years, you at least know HOW to slap.... Even if you're not good at it. He uses a pick normally, so he's probably just average.

I think Josh Freese is Better than Travis, and that's still in the Pop-punk genre.

He's never really had to be good for the music Blink has made. So i guess he's just made do with it.

The whole "TrAvIs SuXoRs wOrSeR dEn DiS gUy" thing gets really old, really fast, and has no reasonable outcome.

amen......

so who actually bought the greatest hits... i did ive listed to it once.. but now i have the whoole colletion so meh

My parents got it for me for christmas... I may not open it. Leave it preserved for years and years, never listened to.

I'm making money now, so I might get it eventually, but there are other CDs I wanna get before that one.

That'd be a dollar for every good song :D

But I want the GH for the bonus DVD stuff aswell

Oh...you don't think it's good? Oh well. I wanted it for Man Or Mouse.

That bonus DVD stuff goes for about 5 minutes. It's nothing to get excited over to tell you the truth!

From what I recall hearing it's Carousel and Whats My Age Again live recordings and Rock Show and Feeling This making of videos, and thats it. Am I right?

It's the making of Feeling This, I Miss You and Down, and some live recordings that we've already seen on Urethra Chronicles 2 anyway...they could've done such a better job!
