dimmu borgir and nick barker

[sate_in]

what does everyone think of nick barkers departure from dimmu borgir? personally i think it sucks...but oh well...i am just curious as to where he will go afterwards

 

[Caelum Adustum]

I'm glad he's gone, maybe now they'll get a drummer that isn't so obsessed with triggers.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Oh, I think it's dreadful, I hope they won't stop being the true black metal kings.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Oh, I think it's dreadful, I hope they won't stop being the true black metal kings.

*sacrasm detector explodes*


Anyway I don't think Barker was that great......all of his drums sound exactly the same and he is either blasting or double bass rolling.......really fucking boring

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Hahaha, he looks hilarious in every band picture ever. I think he just plays double bass as fast as possible so that he can lose some weight and not like like such a fucking moron.

 

[sate_in]

you people are ignorant of great drumming.....he was much better than tjodalv.....more technical than any other black metal drummer i've seen.....and if you want to hear him play acoustic drums listen to lock up......blah..and i can discern from all the stuff he plays quite easily.....blah!!!!

 

[Focusphere]

The drummer on Stormblast was more creative than Barker, and really....who needs another unoriginal drum blaster like Barker? I could program a drum machine on double bass for an entire song and replace this guy.

I'd like to hear more drummers as imaginative as Fenriz was on "Soulside Journey".

 

[Varulv]

I don't care. I wish that lame band would break up already.

 

[Domoritus]

Though I like Dimmu Borgir, I do think that Nicholas Barker has got to be one of the most overrated drummers ever.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Give me Dave Witte or Flo Mounier any day.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Give me Tom Corn, Tim Yeung, or Proscriptor any day.

OOOooh he has really fast blast beats and plays them during the whole fucking song.....I need creativity and variety not just speed alone.......I'll take Kevin Talley anyday

 

[dill_the_devil]

Give me Tom Corn, Tim Yeung, or Proscriptor any day.

Oooh, Proscriptor, good call. I love his work in Absu, but I ain't heard anything by Melechesh yet.

 

[Psychonaut]

I hear Nick went to Brujeria. A big step down IMO.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Oooh, Proscriptor, good call. I love his work in Absu, but I ain't heard anything by Melechesh yet.

Melechesh...hm. Proscriptor's drumming is not as speedy and fill-filled as Tara, but then again, most of Absu's older stuff isn't that overly amazing.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I hear Nick went to Brujeria. A big step down IMO.

I wonder if Nick is fat enough to be in 5 bands at a time...?

 

[Niklas]

he is an amazing drummer, and its a shame he left, hopefully he will go onto do great things, and just because hes fat dosnt mean he cant drum, stupid fucks

 

[eternalhours]

Heh. People are sounding like the general mass of tasteless teenagers listening to pop music. "He's so fat!!11."
Made me laugh at you though.

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Gimme Dirge Rep anyday.

 

[kollex]

I hear Nick went to Brujeria. A big step down IMO.

he's been in them since before he joined Dimmu Borgir orginally.

i think he's going to get the bloodbath gig myself
