It sickens me that a musician of such calibre could have been so horrendously treated by his former band - for years on end, apparently.

Dave is the nicest guy. Back in the 90’s during one of his breaks from Slayer, he was touring with Grip Inc and some friends and I went to see them. After the show, my friends were hanging around the tour bus waiting to get an autograph and I, ever the shy, reserved type, was standing a little farther away waiting for them. Dave made his way through the crowd to introduce himself to me…. a random 19-year-old kid. It forever left an impression on me. What a guy!

I'm not getting tired of saying that these series not only opened my mind to other styles and artists, but also showed me a part of myself that I love: my musical journey was not about the bands I listened to, it was about the people in these bands, that gave music a soul.

Lombardo is a legendary drummer. He’s obviously a great musician and has great, eclectic taste in music as well.

What a freaking legend. Funny thing about the hiphop stuff, Rick Rubin who one could argue is the inventor of the modern hiphop sound actually produced Reign in Blood and pushed the guys to even more extreme music. There are no boundries to real artistry. One love people.

I love that he picked up The Madcap Laughs. There are some really great Syd songs on his solo works that make people haven't heard.

I could tell from the start that there would be zero metal in his bag. Most of Dave's favorites are also my favorites, he really seems to enjoy music in all its myriad forms, which is obvious from the variety of projects that he has been involved with. Early Pink Floyd is very underrated, it is a shame that more people aren't familiar with Syd Barrett, despite the band's best effort to keep his memory alive. "The Madcap Laughs" is such an iconic, weird and difficult album and deserves a listen for anyone not familiar with it.

Very proud of my fellow Latino drummers Dave,Pete "COMMANDO" Sandoval,Alex Gonzales and cant forget the king Tito Puente R.I.P,THANK YOU to you all for paving the way for all us Latinos,for showing that dreams do come true🥁🙌

@@b.nash.7778 I definitely would have loved to hear more classic Bungle, especially anything from California, so I get that. But I think since they don't have a keyboard player in the lineup it would be really difficult to play most of those songs. Plus Patton is a troll and he purposely wanted to fuck with fans by only playing Wrath of the Easter bunny, I never even listened to it until they rereleased it. Just getting to see all those legends on stage though made it all worth it, so I didn't really care if they only played the thrashy stuff, and yes they did do My Ass Is On Fire for the encore and it was probably my favorite moment of the night.

I knew the moment I heard Dave Lombardo on Slayer’s Show No Mercy debut album in 1983 that he would be my all time favorite drummer. He had to become one of the greatest amidst the chaos of that band and still stand out as a huge drummer with an unmistakable identity. Hard to believe it was 40 years ago when that introduction first hit me across my body and mind. So glad that he has kept himself busy throughout his career. Interesting record collection there Dave.

His new solo album is amazing, not surprising he has such a diverse range in taste

*Of course Lombardo grabs thee best of the best like ATCQ, Germs, Bad Brains. Absolute legend.*

It's always a little amusing to me when I watch episodes that feature members or former members of heavy metal bands, because they all appreciate very different genres of music and very diverse artists, everything from blues, to rap, to classical music. Which is in contrast with many of their fans, who often compete on who's gonna be more "true" and are often very elitist and down right refuse to touch anything that doesn't involve screaming and blast beats :D.

A very humble and down-to-earth guy as well as a phenomenal musician.

No punk - no speed or extremity in metal (extreme vocals, blast beats or generally faster tempos and abrasive riffing all came from punk). You can find hardcore punk bands in 1982 having full "blast beat-growl-scream-guitar noise" shitstorm. And that was at the time that most mean and heaviest band around in metal was Venom, Accept or bands like that. Even Venom credits punk for direct and heavy influence. Not to mention Celtic Frost and Bathory.. and all other seminal extreme metal bands from early 80s to late 80s that created an extreme metal formula. Even thrash metal wouldn't exist without bands like GBH, Discharge, Exploited, Chaos UK, Minor Threat, Black Flag etc...

Yeah, in metal that much is true, but in punk, and especially hardcore punk, things were much more extreme, angry, fast and abrasive at that time, much more so then in metal. Metal only later started to resemble extreme punk in intensity due to direct punk influence, of course. To hear is to believe. Just check out Sweden's Asocial or Shitlickers for reference. It's fricking '82. Accept and Venom or bands like that were the nastiest metal around. When you compare this to those Swedish abominations, it's obvious.
