Forbidden is sooooo underrated and an amazing band (Eventhough they haven't come back from their hiatus). I got into metal arount 02 when I was 14, before that I would only know Metallica and a little bit of Black Sabbath and Megadeth. And getting into metal, Forbidden opened the door to thrash metal, and then I discovered, Testament, Exodus, Dark Angel, Kreator, etc. All of this just to say this guy has been drumming on the thash scene since it´s beggining

Paul is still such a humble and cool guy. I played guitar in a band with him when we were in high school and he was so good you knew he was going to make it. In one performance we had another drummer filling in while Paul got out front to sing Aerosmith's Dream On. I will never forget how he dropped to his knees belting out the Steven Tyler scream. Sounded damn good as I remember. Very talented and deserves all the success.

I feel like people often hate on Bostaph because they don’t like the way he played Lombardo’s parts. Obviously, he can’t play them the same, he’s not Lombardo. However, he’s brought some kickass parts to the five albums he played with them, he’s also played with Exodus and Testament, and most of all, he had to fill Lombardo’s shoes... TWICE. That alone takes skill. Bostaph’s the man.

I love Paul Bostaph. This is the first time I have heard him speak, and I like him more! He is a very humble dude, very eloquent, focused, and you can tell he is very intelligent. Divine is still perhaps my favorite Slayer album, with Seasons and South of Heaven nearly tied. Lombardo had the most interesting fills, very perplexing and mysterious. Paul is more pure driving and focused aggression, and his fills are perplexing as well, trying to understand the timing. I would have never known about his sixlet technique had I not seen this, wouldn't have picked it by ear.

Very interesting to hear and see. I only wish the video had better drum sounds... I mean the headphone-out is right there on the module.

@-BuddyGuy

5 жыл бұрын

You're right, BUT... They would need to have a 3.5mm cable to XLR, (or 1/4 trs to XLR, I can't see what the headphone output is) or a 3.5mm input on the mixer with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, which not all low budget sound guys would always have to hand. And maybe they didn't want to bum cables off the famous drummer. If there wasn't a sound guy (which it sounds like because of the noise floor) then maybe they just ran a prosumer shotgun mic to the camera, in which case the 3.5mm jack was taken. I doubt they shot this on a camera with XLR inputs. Even if they did manage to record the drums from the module somehow, they would have to tweak it in post so that there wasn't either an echo, or phasing issues with two channels of the same drum audio recorded from two different places in the room. You'd do this easiest by fading down the dialogue track while the drums were playing. Then you'd probably notice the difference between the room tone + noise floor of the shotgun mic vs the relatively clean noise floor and lack of room tone of the module during those fades so you'd probably have to lay a room tone track from the shotgun mic (30 seconds of silence in that room) underneath the module drum sounds so there wasn't a weird transition when you switched between sources. Then the reverb from the module track would not match the characteristics of the room that you're seeing here, which would probably make the drums themselves sound odd to viewers in a subtle way. So having the sound bounce around the room isn't entirely a bad thing. A good sound guy (>$800 incl equipment rental for a shoot like this) would take care of all that in his sleep and would know exactly what to do. So I agree that sound could be better here but just saying that what you're suggesting isn't quite as trivial as just plugging into the headphone output.

Paul's work with Forbidden is his best . Twisted into form is a phenomenal record.

Some Thrash-Drummers and how i perceive them: Gene Hoglan - the humble GOAT Dave Lombardo - the iconic hard hitter Tom Hunting - the underrated master of stamina Lars Ulrich - the guy that missed out on evolving Paul Bostaph - the reliable one for bands in need Dave McClain - the clean versatile Chris Kontos - the lost deftones member Charlie Benante - the one i don`t know about because i never listened to Anthrax in the first place

Dave's great, but those albums with Paul just sound heavier and more powerful to me. I was fifteen when my best mate brought that album to my place the week it came out.
