The same goes for songs with Eric Leeds. Those two have an irreplaceable sound. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

couldn't agree more with the above posts, michael b is an exceptional drummer and has a pocket so wide u could drive a truck between the beats. blackwell is also incredibly talented, to put it mildly but he lacks the taste of michael b.
often times with blackwell i find if you're not watching him and just listening he can have a tendency to over play. (see live versions of raspberry beret and take me with u from one nite alone live) i find it a bit distracting in simple pop tunes like those 2 when he follows every little run the band does. 'i think i love her...'' do de dod do dod dod do... i don't now, maybe it's just my preference but michael b's restraint, and often times what he doesn't play, is what shows his taste and ability to present SONG first and foremost. i'm a musician and i have a hard time finding drummers that demonstrate a true understanding of what's important in a song the way michael does... and then when he let's loose on something like ''shhh'' it's game over, no one disputes his talent. to me that's more impressive, when u choose your moments. i'm blinded by the daisies in your yard.... | |

Very good observation! That´s exactly how I feel about Michael B. and John Blackwell. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs!

That could also be down to Michael B being a rock drummer and Blackwell being a jazz drummer, you know what those jazz musicians can be like.

Some good remarks about John Blackwell and Michael Bland here.
IMO John Blackwell is often distracting the listener with his flashieness and so called 'technique'. A good musician comforms him or herself to the collective, WITHOUT losing his or her own distinctive touch: somethimg that Michael Bland does. He can play pop, rock, soul and funk without getting into some flashy 'egotrip', while maintaining his impressive driven, hard-hitting sound. Blackwell seems so obsessed with showing off (look how good and flashy I can hit all this cymbals and drums!). It overshadows his role and function within the band. Look at Take me With U on the Alladin DVD for example. His drumming is partly responsible for this song turning into some cheesy, Las Vegas version. This song needs harder, more straightforward rock-drumming to give it more of a 'rock and roll' vibe. [Edited 12/4/09 11:17am] | |
