CHRIS PENNIE OF COHEED & CAMBRIA TALKS METAL WITH METALSUCKS
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 at 12:30pm by MetalSucksCoheed & Cambria skinsman Chris Pennie has taken some time out of his day to record a quick video segment with us in which he shares the metal albums he’s currently spinning. Without spilling the beans so you don’t have to click that play button, we’ll just say this: he’s got awesome taste in metal! No surprise, given the guy played drums for The Dillinger Escape Plan for an entire decade.

Meathook Seed.
Holy fuck. That is pretty fucking rad…. I need to dig that cd out again.
it’s cool when dudes like that talk about listening to bands that aren’t fuckin huge already. saying you like metallica and iron maiden isn’t exactly interesting to hear. +1 to this guy!
didnt see killswitch coming
Fuck yeah, Coheed & Cambria rules. Glad to hear this guy has good taste.
Meshuggah. Cynic. Discordance Axis. Meathook Seed.
Damn, his taste in music is awesome.
Killswitch Engage.
Oh for fucks sake.
Heh. He talked about Cynic and Death as if they were obscure bands from Kyrgyzstan.
Funny.
Yeh, did he know this was for a metal site? lol. They actually played in a band called Death, dunno if uve heard of them..?
Seeing Coheed this weekend at Lollapalooza… fuck yeahhhhh.
his band sucks balls
coheed and cambria is amazing, u probably just dont like their singer. its narrow-minded assholes like your who us metalheads look stupid.
make us*
nope, they’re just pretty bad.
Coheed sucks.
NO DEREK IT’S WACK-ASS COHEED & CAMBRIA FANS LIKE YOU WHO MAKE US METALHEADS LOOK STUPID.
hahahaha that was funny. coheed is my favorite band but that was funny come back lol
Fucking sell out….
This band makes me crack up. Every time I hear one of their songs I start to laugh, probably because people actually listen to this crap.
these guys aren’t metal. buncha gay pussy scene shit. grow some pubes you battyboys
funny, ire works wasnt listed…
I just can’t take this guy as seriously after he left Dillinger for Coheed. It seems like a cop-out. That said, seeing him play “Come to Daddy” live back in 2002 was fucking amazing.
awww come on…killswitch engage?….really dude?
how the hell did that happen?
Damn it Chris…I hate being sycopanthic, but I gotta say…guys like you can make being a drummer suck sometimes (Calculating Infinity ALONE is enough to elevate this guy to the pantheon of percussive godhood, C&C be damned).
I give him credit for listing CYNIC and mentioning Death but the other bands fucking suck. Except for,maybe, his own prior band, Dillinger. And that’s pushing it.
How ’bout some Ironchrist, Angkor Watt, Watchtower,Atheist & Neuraxis (preferably “Trilateral Progression”)
roflcopter grow up seriously… coheed dont claim to be metal, they arent metal we all know, not all music has to be macho death metal played at 250 bpms ….
