Bootleg Metal's Slipknot drummer pick


So Jay Weinberg is out. A great drummer, but a pick that never made sense to me, but who am I. They picked him, he did the job and now has a great resume to move on with. More power to him.

I have to say my pick today is the same as it was all those years back. I've seen Slipknot and Nile many times and and George Kollias in my eyes is the man. Technically sound, fast, endurance like a machine and more than just a rock/metal drummer. I can post a video for Eloy Casagrande, Mike Mangini, Gene Hoglan, Derek Roddy and a dozen others. All the best in what they do and all more than capable of filling the shoes of Joey but I keep going back to George.  There you have it. What say you? - PJ

RIPCHAIN INTERVIEW

Buy Music here Ripchain is: David Ford: Vocals and guitar Bobzilla: Bass and backing vocals Mike Stanley: Lead guitar Tyler Johnson: Drums BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? RIPCHAIN: No inspired backstory on this one...I wanted a ‘2 syllable’ name, so I came up with it by writing two columns of single syllable words that sounded tough or intimidating in some way.

Highway 4 is: Kelly Brown - Vocals Tylar Parker - Bass  Mike Angert - Lead Guitar  Reid Campbell - Drums Buy Music Here BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? HIGHWAY 4: Funny story, we actually decided on "Highway 4" after a few names.  "Crossing Waters" sounded a little too Christian Rock.. and let's face it. We already have enough "Creed's" in the world. HYEAHHH. (Scott Stapp) voice. Highway 4 is road out in California area and we wanted to pay homage to it before the state succeeds from the U.S. But in all seriousness, it's a beautiful road and we fell in love with it.

THE VERY END INTERVIEW:

The Very End is: Björn Goosses (voice), René Bogdanski (guitars), Alex Bartkowski (guitars), Marc Beste (bass), Lars Janosch (drums) Buy Music Here BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? THE VERY END: Not quite sure, maybe it was me cause I've been responsible for all lyrics ever since. But it may have been a bandmate just as well, can't remember to be honest. However, The Very End as a name is pretty obvious, I think. It stands for death, nihilism, the utmost final aspect of everything and everyone. BOOTLEG METAL: Where is the band from? THE VERY END: Northwestern Germany. This region is called the Ruhr and has a great heritage of both coal/steel industry as well as metal music. Kreator, Sodom, Rage, Grave Digger and many more are literally our neighbors.
