Isn't Tom Warrior one of the guests on Probot?markgugs said:I finally found a quote that summarizes my feelings on Dave Grohl playing death/black metal:
"'No matter how low the technical level of some of the harder music is - and many times it sure is,' says Tom Warrior of Hellhammer, 'it is nearly impossible to play convincingly to audiences if one doesn't live, breathe, and understand it, if it isn't rooted in one's very blood. Because hard music lives so much from primitive instincts of power - from guts - it is hard for an outsider to really master it mentally and physically, no matter how talented and willing that outsider might be.'"
Yes he is ...JayKeeley said:Isn't Tom Warrior one of the guests on Probot?
Maybe I am hearing different things on the PROBOT record than others, but Grohl seems to have his heart in the right place. Anyone that goes through 3 years of getting together the singers for this project and writing NEW songs for each of them .. is OK in my book!That quote isn't important because of WHO said it; it's important because of WHAT it says. You guys - I think - know that.
There is no trace of DEATH or BLACK metal on this PROBOT release ... hell the songs don't even approach thrash territiory. I would call it more a tribute to these singers than anything else.I finally found a quote that summarizes my feelings on Dave Grohl playing death/black metal:
I'll give this attempt at being snide a B at best.npearce said:When I was about 3 or 4 years old, somebody told me, "Always listen to something before you respond to it on a public forum."
And exactly what does this have to do with Tom Warrior? I thought I was pretty clear that this has nothing to do with who said it, but what was said.JayKeeley said:Tom Warrior is the biggest sell out of them all.
You're right, it doesn't have anything to with Tom Warrior as an individual. I just thought it was funny that you said you found a quote that summarizes your feelings towards Dave Grohl playing metal, and it turned out to be Tom Warrior who said it! Don't you see the irony?markgugs said:And exactly what does this have to do with Tom Warrior? I thought I was pretty clear that this has nothing to do with who said it, but what was said.
Absolutely correct, but that doesn't make it any less ironic, that's all.Erik said:Eh... What Tom G. Warrior of HELLHAMMER (i.e. in the beginning of the 80's) said has NOTHING, and I repeat NOTHING, to do with what Tom says today. Are you going to hold what Lars Ulrich says today against "Kill 'em All"'s credibility too?
