Talk About School'd!!!

Here's a nice little post I came across on Blabbermouth.net ...the Author is unknown...but talk about hilarious!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Every six months when this contest goes down I am at NAMM watching amazing feats of skill as a bunch of kick ass drummers who are all masters of the set engage in the equivalent of a home run derby. Nobody ever said it was music. It is what it is. And every six months I see the same 20 or so pathetic and jealous music wannabes screaming about crap they know nothing about because it makes them feel better about their sorry excuse for lives.

First of all the bass drum record lasted 6 and a half years. Mangini has held the hands record for 3 years. So the claim that the records change all the time is a lie to make an insecure person feel better.

Second, when you bitch about this stuff as much as some of you do, one only sees your obvious jealousy. Everybody knows speed does not always =good but quite often it does. And the guys who win this stuff already know this, but thanks for reminding.

Third, many famous drummers make serious plans to compete in this thing, then they get there, see its a totally different game, and decide to just observe, while spinning to people that they never planned to compete when they most certainly did. What famous drummer wants Mike Machine, Waterson or a kid like Matt Smith handing them their asses at WFD, which they will absolutely do because they are faster drummers than these guys? Ask Lord Marco. Yeah he's not big time famous but well known enough. He was in this same contest and got his ass kicked.

Every time some (not all) of you critic poseurs start with this crap, you put down great musicians you don't know jack about. The only reason some of you even use the word musicality is because you saw it on a music forum and you think it makes you sound learned. You're only mad because people aren't discussing you. Again I'm not speaking to the majority, but you others know who you are."


Hahahah man that fuckin rulz.
