Members Scheming Demon Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'd say the guy from Poison is a little lacking. I wouldn't classify him as worst but he's down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kenm Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Fred Koury from Cinderella. They wouldn't even let him play on the records. Way worse than Rikki Rocket from Poison. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Jack White can write some pretty good songs. I gotta admit, the guy is pretty talented. There's lot's of bands that made it big with guys that were mediocre with their instruments. The Beatles often admitted they hardly ever practiced. Metallica's Lars and James created a monster but alone they are nothing special, not even considered very good. I think what makes a good band is good songs to start with and chemistry between the members AND the audience. Sorry for sidetracking this thing.

Members HottKarl Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Travis Barker? Let me say that I'm not into Blink-182 at all, but this guy has gotten so much boot-licking, ass-kissing press in drumming circles. From what I've heard, the guy is doing nothing but playing 4/4m pop-punk....so boring and simple any 5th grader could master his material in just a few short hours.....and the drum press treats him like he's the 2nd coming of Joh Bonham or Keith Moon.

Members ArtVandelay Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Barker is far from the worst famous drummer. He gets a lot of press because his band is so popular but I don't think I've seen anyone touting him as the next coming of Bonzo or Moon. They all say he's a very good (or even great) drummer but I've never seen the terms "innovator" or "legend" used with regard to him. A lot of press does not equal implied legendariness. Anyway, the question was not "who is the most overrated drummer", but "who is the worst drummer who has achieved some fame" (paraphrasing). Meg White certainly fits that bill. Rikki Rockett isn't even that bad - he plays parts that fit the songs and he can at least play to a click decently - that or he has pretty good time on his own. How about the guy from The Romantics ("What I Like About You" and "Talking In Your Sleep")? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ignited Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 I don't even consider Meg White to be a rock drummer. She's a novelty. Nobody takes her seriously, and I doubt anybody ever will. So arguing about her merits as a drummer is pointless. I don't really have much to say about Travis Barker. I'm not a fan of his work, but I won't deny that he's a good drummer. What he lacks in creativity, he makes up for in chops. I'd have to say Peter Criss is the most unaccomplished rock drummer of all time. I've never seen him do anything outside of KISS. From what I have seen of him, he doesn't even seem to have a personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheSphinX Posted November 2, 2005 Members Share Posted November 2, 2005 When I read the name of this thread I tried to come up with the worst drummer I could think of and I immedietly came up with Meg White from the White Stripes and when the thread was done loading, who's name appears on the first post? THATS RIGHT! MEG WHITE!! hahahaha that prooves she's not only the worst drummer to have made it but maybe even the worst in the world!And I read somewhere that on the song My Doorbell, they even hired in a studiomusician! hAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOD! I almost laughed my throat apart when I read that!! LoLz!! I mean...helllooooo!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FitchFY Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Originally posted by Tomske also travis barker is shit and extremely overrated! Tell us how you really feel. I think it's safe to say that Meg White is the worst drummer in rock music. I mean, seriously, the woman can barely keep a beat. What band, besides White Stripes, capitalizes on the weakness of their musicianship? Kinda sad, frankly, when I hear her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
