I think Charlie sounds fkn good on that.

I might have to look into When Day and Dream Unite?

Edit: And the non-Ruddess keyboardist > Ruddess...

I really likw how he plays on an angle, so metal \m/

derek sherinainanianinainianiagigan?

i still say that people say he's a mindless wanker because they're just jealous and are afraid to admit that he's amazing. not many people in the world know how to milk the guitar for all it's worth like he does.

i just got tool's aenema because i was curious to see this danny carey guy who's sposed to blow MP outta the water.
i haven't found anything amazing yet...am i looking in the wrong place?

He is a decent drummer, but I dont think hes good enough to blow portnoy out of the water. Did a tool fanboy tell you this?

no. it just seems to be the general consensus that carey > portnoy on these forums?

i really dont hear anything overly striking, although he's solid and i like it.
dream theater ftw in every aspect :]

This is news to me.

are you sure?
it's really the general impression i get everywhere...

i still stoically (sp) defend portnoy as the better rhythm section

EDIT: 1000 posts wute~ thanks genuine for pointing it out i didnt even notice

I never heard of this before. Then again I dont pay much attention to posts relating to drums.

im learning about to crash ( reprise) and losing time/grand finale right now

Sounds cool. Im learnind Another Day and Instrumedly.

Derek Shernian is quite a good keyboardist but

Kevin Moore>Jordan Rudess>Derek Sherinian

Derek Sherinian's solo work is much better than his work with DT IMO

Danny Carey is amazing, and although I love MP I would rate Carey higher.
I'm not a drummer myself, but Carey is really creative, and his use of polyrhythms is awesome. Lateralus and Ænema (the songs) are worth checking out.

I dislike tool and I think he's very overrated.

But then again, someone who's a Tool fanboy could post something about MP like this is in the Tool thread :p

i cant split them... the are both very good in different aspects... made voting in the current poll very difficult...

carey is an awesome drummer but he looks retarded when he drums

So portnoy triumphs?

I have ten assorted Tool songs...I can't see what all the fuss about Carey is.

Look at the poll.
Carey's already far off in the lead :angry:

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I have ten assorted Tool songs...I can't see what all the fuss about Carey is.[/QUOTE]

What songs have you heard? :confused:

/hasn't posted here in ages

Welllll i voted for portnoy

SUPPORT PORTNOY!!!!

i have several tool CD's now too, but nothing really strikes me as OMGHE'SSOGOOD but i've had that a bit w/ portnoy.
not that i know much abt drumming being a guitarrist, but portnoy really is much more technically capable and has a greater sense of time signatures i think.

[QUOTE=JamJar]What songs have you heard? :confused:

/hasn't posted here in ages[/QUOTE]
Eulogy, Pu****, Aenema, sober, 46&2, Ticks and leeches, the grudge, schism, prison sex, Parabola, lateralus, hush, faaip de Oiad.
13 songs, actually.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I have ten assorted Tool songs...I can't see what all the fuss about Carey is.[/QUOTE]

If you don't have it, download Ticks and Leechs ASAP. Even though you don't like Tool, I don't see how you can deny how great that intro is.

As for the final poll, I cast my vote for Neil. I'm really pissed that him, Bozzio, Moon, or Baker aren't winning.

Edit: Nevermind, you do have Ticks and Leechs.

I disagree, to me Carey seems like a more talented drummer, and his rhythms are much more intricate. MP is a master of complex time signatures, but so is Carey.

I like Tool, Maynard just spoils them for me totally.

The man really cannot sing. Maybe he would if he sang up more, he just mumbles and shouts ocasionally.

hey guys, i don't know if this is old, but here's the Highway Star cover.

yea it's beeen around.

i dont really like maynard mcuh either. he's got a good voice when he actually is singing, but it's usually mumbling or just yelling.

i haven't heard anything by tool which showcases carey's portnoy-beating-skills.
recommendations besides the ones listed above?

^A couple examples off the top of my head of some impressive playing would be the end of The Grudge and the end of Schism.

ok ill check it out.

portnoy's got some realyl complex rhythms and licks, but...ok

EDIT: yea he's solid. very solid. and im not gonna lie, but i really like his drumming. on the other hand, i still think portnoy's much better. maybe carey just doesn't show what he's got with tool

At least we can agree that they are both amazing drummers :thumb:

Carey is a great drummer, as well as Portnoy. It's difficult to tell who is better, but I kind of prefer Portnoy.
