Don't you hear the lyrics? Bang Bang, plus it has a REAAAALLY UNDERRATED drummer.




In a world of vastly overrated drummers, it stands to reason that someone would be underrated.

Unfortunately, it's not Tommy Lee.

LOL. Why are people still discussing this topic? Tommy Lee is not really overrated. He's in one of the most famous heavy metal bands of all time, and he's done some weird stuff to get the pubic to notice him more. BUT, he drums pretty decent, and judging from his Carnival of Sins drum solo, he is very versatile with his drumming as well. AND he has good showmanship. He does drum to relatively simple stuff, but he's on time, and it all fits the music. This is like saying Lars Ulrich is overrated as a drummer. Lars and Tommy are both weirdos, but they're not overrated, and they're famous for decent reasons.

The Lesson: Don't believe everything you hear from somebody, especially when their conduct disproves it.

"Why are people still discussing this topic?"

That was my point exactly.

If it serves as consolation he's the dude who wrote: Do you think I'm sexy?

I guess they're reversely underrated overrated. Maybe we should switch their places?

I mean, why isn't Carmine Apice the one on the picture at the top next to Dom Famularo in the drummer's section?

If I wanna read the newspaper I buy it.

Sorry - no. We don't close inactive topics. This was posted to less than a month ago. If I closed every topic more than a month old, there wouldn't be much to choose from. Just ignore it if you don't want to follow it.

In the world of music, where so many are over-rated, due to who they play with, longevity, the fact that people who like them automatically assume they are great, and, in truth, dying young comes into play with this type of conversation.

Tommy Lee was never a favorite of mine (neither was Motley Crew), but in his world, I don't imagine he gives a rats patoot about who likes him, who hates him, or where they rate him in the world of drummers.

He's a multi-millionaire who had play dates with Pam Anderson back before she became a caricature of herself. He is probably sitting in a pool somewhere, with a bevy of teeny-boppers around him, so I don't think he is sweating this one out.

I know they won't close this topic, but, in reality, we should let this one die a peaceful death.
