Who cares about Priest. This is a Simon Phillips thread and he played with much greater bands and musicians than those puff pastry boys. Look at this list.

But isn't it telling that he's best remembered for Sin after Sin, and not being as good as Les Binks?

I am not so sure that that is what he is best remember for. What about playing with The Who? What about Pete Townshend? Jeff Beck? Toto!

The list goes on.

What's telling is that you just proved that you have no knowledge of this subject if you think Sin After Sin is what Simon is known for. Again, his massive list of accomplishments make the Priest stuff very forgetable.

Highly accomplished player, for sure!!! new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

His biography looks like a who's who of musicians. I wish he were with The Who when I saw them in 1982. Sorry, but at the time I didn't appreciate Kenny Jones' abilities, not to say he's "unaccomplished" drummer...

Well I thought his drumming on Sin after Sin was even more pansylike and limp wristed than Les "feathertouch" Binks.

Of course you did.

 

What do you like?

Yes I did.

 

I like nihilism.

 

I know SP has been around a lot, but the only album I possess - that I can readily think of - with him on is Sin after Sin, and on that basis I can only deduce he wasn't as PRIEST as feathertouch. And I've just realised that tuesday was the 30th Anniversary of me seeing PRIEST - with Les in tow - for the first time.

this is a good time for me to once again show off the Priest pic I took in 1982. 1022.gif

No. Not as good as Les Binks.

 

ALL HAIL FEATHERTOUCH.

 

When me and my mates discuss drummers, the name Les Binks crops up regularly, the name of Simon Phillips never crops up.

Seeing as I think Judas Priest are posers with bad leather and lame riffs and solos, and not real METAL (Iron Maiden, Accept, old Metallica, Spinal Tap, for instance, are REAL METAL), I had never heard of Les Binks. And it's no wonder -- aside from his brief stint with Priest, Binks hasn't done much.

 

However, anyone who knows GOOD drummers and doesn't hide in the '70s knows about Simon Phillips, and what a versatile and monster drummer he is.

 

So, f*ck Les Binks. ALL HAIL SIMON PHILLIPS AND JOHN "STUMPY" PEPYS.

Wow, no kidding. The only reason I even knew who he was, was because I remember seeing his name in the liner notes on the Priest tape I got when I was younger......not because of his fantastic drumming.......

The roots of METAL run very deep, but for Downtuned, sludgy, doomy, Gothically inspired METAL. Sabbath are the daddies.

 

And keeping the thread on track *cough* i don't think SP would have been a good Sabbath drummer.

I dont disagree but I think Priest pioneered that metallic metal sound with British Steel. 1022.gif
