Leave Louie's drumming skills alone!

All you armchair quarterbacks that hide behind the computer and talk shit about musicians for "sucking" or whatever are just miserable fucks. Go back to downloading porn in your parents house
That's what I'm talking about!!! hehehehehe
hiddenlegions said:Absolutely. I agree with alot of what is said in this post, and he is a good drummer. I've always liked his playing in the early days, and whoever said everyone is at different levels of playing is correct. Not everyone can be a Dave Lombardo, or a Raymond Herrera! And just because they're not, does not mean they are a crap drummer ! Alot of the people on the internet that critisize Louie so harshly can only dream of accomplishing what Louie has in so far as touring the world, playing monster size gigs, and recording classic records that will be played for years to come. I'd like to see these harsh critics pick up some drum sticks and try to play all the stuff Louie has written over the years, and play it to perfection, or even better, let's hear what you can play, and what you've accomplished musically!

Well said, HiddenLegions!
That's why I began this topic in the first place...I got tired of reading people disrespectiing him. He deserves credit for returning after so many years! I'm not surprised he did well on the tour...a true musician never forgets his craft.

I never had a problem with Louie or his skills. I've been around long enopugh to have been able to see them back in the day many times, and for this I am thankful. I could go either way on his permanent return to the fold. It's true there are better drummers, but Louie is NOT a bad drummer. I'm all about original lineups.

mate, I'm dling porn in my parents house... I do! hehe hehe
but to be serious: I agree with you all... Louie deserves respect!
IMO, Louie has no skils like Lombardo, but TestAmenT wouldn't be the same, if the drummer would be different........ oh, and maybe there wouldn't be TestAmenT at all...

VICTIM OF PAIN
He did a great job on Sunday night, played the whole set, not sure if he's been doing that because I heard he was only playing select songs each night. And it wouldn't have been the same without him, remember Alex isn't a metal guitarist, but that doesn't seem to bother anyone. :Smug:

Louie kicked ass! I saw him two nights and he was solid throughout. He is not a flashy drummer and doesn't need to be. Testament is still guitar oriented and should stay that way. Two incredible shows. Pictures link below. More pics from Saturday coming.

hmmm .. i wouldn't say The Gathering is a bad album :Spin: and it definitely is a one LP-long drumm solo which gives Eric's riffs and Chuck's vocals yet another dimension.

I believe it was somewhere on Blabbermouth- but the quality of the video was really low and it was from the show in Paris, where the sound wasn't good either (from what I've heard)- so it's not the best video... but I'm speaking from the position of someone who actually saw them on the Reunion tour more than once- people that didn't get to see them may like it more, although it doesn't really show how great they play together.

without reading this whole thread...
He RULED with Testament last weekend, playing 2 nights in a row at Jaxx.
So for those who complain... please notice the emergency lights as you move forward.
Good day.

It's funny someone mentioned Lars. I used to like him a lot, now that I know what drumming is all about, Lars is never mentioned when serious bashing out is discussed. His live performances are sad.
Oh, btw, Luie is cool.
