@@bruceludlow1326 I'm not a pro musician but I started studying music when I was 6 years old, in the very early 80's. I studied classical music, then was the singer in a couple of metal bands in the 90's, then grunge, then another pop-rock band in the mid 2000's, then a jazz/bossa nova band about 10 years ago. I'm a couple of years younger than this guy. I love Paramore, but I have no clue what some very VERY famous pop acts are. I've never (knowingly) listened to Kanye West (even though I know who he is), until a couple of months ago I thought Olivia Rodrigo was the girl who sang "My Heart is In Havana" and I missed the whole emo-core scene, except Paramore, which I first heard of when they weren't even calling themselves "emo" anymore. He's not american, neither am I. It's pretty easy to miss american pop culture if you don't live there, even if you're a musician, and especially if you work in another segment of the industry.

I mean, how the hell could you fault him for playing the most basic pop/rock drums over this song when that's just exactly what the song is? If you'd never heard it, would you do it any different, really? He crushed it. Nice little fills here and there, a bit of his personal shenanigan with the blast beats, it was incredibly good for a one time - one play situation. Didn't like the snare sound with the song, but that's really not his fault or anyones, just a matter of taste. I would have loved to hear a second or third playthrough of his where he experiments a bit more, but for what it is it is insanely good.

This was the first song I ever heard by Paramore so it holds a special place in my heart. This was a great rendition after hearing it only once. #Subscribed.

Josh and Hayley dating, Hayley's manager father trying to cut the Farro's out of the band and making them like contractors, the addition of Taylor York and the drama that caused with Josh and accusations of Taylor's drug abuse IIRC, the break up and ensuing relationship strains, Josh's religious over-compensation and broaching in to unfair entitlement and bitterness.

What I really love about the series is to see how much more these guys know about music then meets they eye. Salute from Germany!

Man, what a joy to watch. Excellent once more!

the fact that this wonderful person smacks the drums for MEGADETH is the perfect dichotomy. in fact so many of the hardest rockers seem be some of the kindest and wisest souls. not even really a fan of hard rock, but the musicians seem to not only be first class artists, but just humans in general.

" in fact so many of the hardest rockers seem be some of the kindest and wisest souls." Even more so with drummers than other instruments. I can only think of a couple metal or metal-adjacent drummers who have a reputation for being shitty dudes.

@@amfam100I think it’s still the case to this day. I know of a few death metal bands that have classically trained members. I heard a long time ago that metal is reminiscent of classical music. A lot of classical pieces are really intense so it kind of makes sense that they would gravitate to equally or more intense music.
