DALE CROVER IS THE GREATEST METAL DRUMMER OF ALL TIME

Don’t you agree?

(Due out Tuesday October 6 on Merge Records, Lou Barlow’s Goodnight Unknown features drumming by Melvins’ Dale Crover. Check out more videos here.)

    I’m probably in the minority here, but I don’t think the Melvins should be included in any ‘Best All Time’ discussions, ever. Sorry but they do nothing for me.

    • gnarlk

      that’s your loss…

    • stu1

      Sorry to hear that.

  • DeathMasqueRed

    I don’t know…has he ever played for Beyonce?

      IM HAPPY FOR YOU, DALE CROVER, AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT I THINK LARS ULRICH IS THE BEST DRUMMER OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME!

      • DidgeryDoo

        OF ALL TIME!!!!!

  • Frampler

    He’s up there with the best, that’s for sure. Saw him play with Fantomas in London last year, and he managed to steal the show from Patton and King Buzzo. Not sure I’d place him above Fantomas’s original drummer, Slayer’s Dave Lombardo, but they are both legends.

    I’m really happy for you, and I’mma let you finish… but Meg White is the best metal drummer of all time! OF ALL TIME!

      Dammit.. didn’t see this when I posted the above. Great minds think alike, so they say, and apparently so do we.

      • gnarlk

        nope, that meme has gotten so stale already…

        • Alaskan King Crabcore

          True. I still stand by my decision to use it, though.

    What the fuck is this shit? Roll the tape with a bunch of internet fucktards bitching endlessly about a “Metal News” blog not conforming to non-existent guidelines only permitting the blog owners to write about things that are deemed appropriate METAL by legions of online shitheads like me that read this shitty fucking blog.

    I just saw the Melvins a few nights ago, and I can say without a doubt that Dale is still one of the tightest drummers in the business.

    Holy crap that amp

      (the song is good fun too!)

    Dale Gribble is the most bluegrass keyboard player of all time.

    • Gary S.

      Rusty Shackleford is better.
