Xanadoood Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 He's a brilliant drummer..have a listen to Songs for the Deaf by QOTSA if you need convincing. That's the first thing that popped into my head. Great playing on that. 1
bathory Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 he's a good drummer who plays for the song. but as far as overrated or underrated, he's neither. he's not even really known as a drummer anymore in rock circles. he's nobody's favorite, nobody's least favorite either if you've heard the probot side project or his work with queens of the stone age, you'll see that he's capable of playing beyond what's required for nirvana. 1
EagleMoon Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I think he's a really good drummer and very creative but I think he's better as a front man/guitarist. 2
Fordgalaxy Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Oh yay. Another thread so people can post their opinions based on how much they like a band or bands the guy in question was in. 2
RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 On the majority of lists I saw he is in top 10.I think as a rock drummer he is slightly above average and definitely doesn't deserve to be on any list of top 10.What do you think, is this guy overrated? Dave has great energy and power but his chops are basic and boring. He can't sing either yet ironically he's the most talented one out of NIRVANA. Also a RUSH fan so I respect him. I was there on that sacred night when Dave and Taylor inducted the boys. One of the greatest moments of my life. FOO FIGHTERS SUCK!
Ancient Ways Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Oh yay. Another thread so people can post their opinions based on how much they like a band or bands the guy in question was in. It's Neil's fault. 1
Mr. Not Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) http://youtu.be/MZqFT4sH8ac So, no, not overrated. Top 100? I can see that.Top 10? There's a lot of contestants. So yeah, probably overrated. Edited January 28, 2017 by Mr. Not
Lucas Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Oh yay. Another thread so people can post their opinions based on how much they like a band or bands the guy in question was in. god forbid people put a message board to use 1
Verena Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 No, he isn't. He's a great artist, very creative on his drumming skills. 2
tangy Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Overhyped not overrated. From what i can see he is a fine player. I still feel he is overhyped as a darling of the music media. 3

goose Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Overhyped not overrated. From what i can see he is a fine player. I still feel he is overhyped as a darling of the music media.I think he's earned the attention by virtue of his personality and productivity. One of the few things I think the media have got just about right. 2
stoopid Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 On the majority of lists I saw he is in top 10. Found this hard to believe, so I looked around for myself: Rolling Stone - #27 http://www.rollingst...l-time-20160331LA Weekly - #7 http://www.laweekly....ll-time-5199372Total Drumsets - #92 http://www.totaldrum...k-drummers.htmlLoudwire - #10 http://loudwire.com/...otogallery-1=59The Richest - #9 http://www.theriches...rs-of-all-time/ User-voted:The Top Tens - #6 http://www.thetopten...-rock-drummers/Ranker - #9 http://www.ranker.co...ers-of-all-time Alright then ...I don't remember hearing anything amazing from him back when I listened to Nirvana quite a lot (when I was 14) but I guess I'll have to revisit and pay more attention. Signs point to "overrated" :)On the majority of lists I saw he is in top 10.I think as a rock drummer he is slightly above average and definitely doesn't deserve to be on any list of top 10.What do you think, is this guy overrated?Links to these lists?

goose Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 No. He is a fantastic rock drummer.In the pocket, for sure. 1
prolix Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Good drummer, don't get me wrong, but overrated and should not make top ten lists. 1
Powderfinger Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 He's great but not the greatest of the alt rock era. Chamberlain of Smashing Pumpkins is better. Yes, Chamberlain was outstanding at his peak. Matt Cameron comes to mind, too. His work with Soundgarden was awesome. 1
Xanadoood Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 If we are talking chops, Taylor Hawkins is better IMO. 1
thirteen Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I like Dave Grohl on drums. That way he ain't trying to sing or play guitar.
Syrinx Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 He is a great rock drummer but top ten all time?? No way. And i am a big fan of everything he has done, but seriously if you can't come up with 10 better rock drummers something is wrong.
ILSnwdog Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 he's a good drummer who plays for the song. but as far as overrated or underrated, he's neither. he's not even really known as a drummer anymore in rock circles. he's nobody's favorite, nobody's least favorite either if you've heard the probot side project or his work with queens of the stone age, you'll see that he's capable of playing beyond what's required for nirvana.Listen to his work on the self titled Killing Joke album. :haz: 2
