All the guys in the band are cool as fuck, had the opportunity to open a show for them with my band in Monterrey México last January, and they were just there hanging out with everybody, having pictures taken, drinking, smokin' pot and shit... I approached Mark Hunter and said to him: Man, you and your guys are hands down the humblest dudes I've ever met in my life (and they really are), and then he said "Oh come on!, we're all the same, we're brothers man, and by the way, thanks for the pot, come here, have a beer with us", how fucking cool is that? :D
It's part of his personality. If you don't like it, don't bother acknowledging it. He's a badass drummer and makes good music. Why bother question how he acts? Lame.
Austin is perfect for bleed the sky. Andols is perfect for chimaira. John Boecklin is perfect for devildriver. So they don't fit filling up each other's position.
I've met Austin, and played with Chimaira. He's actually a really cool guy and pretty down to earth, although I totally get what you're saying about how he comes across in this vid. If you check out the vids on my channel, Mark actually guested on the single from our album. :)
You guys really are far too critical. Chimaira isn't Chimaira anymore. All bands go through transitions. I think this band had stayed true to it's sound. And what's wrong with having a little fun. It doesn't always have to be so serious.
Well good luck "replacing" John he is a beast not only live but consistently in the studio . I guess we'll see how you do on the new album. I personally as a drummer don't see it Kevin talley would fit the bill much better but that's just my opinion .. Best of luck though
Was digging it til the irrelevant clips of arrogance & ego got thrown in. Not sure how those have anything to do with a Drum Play-through vid. Oh well, I know now to not bother watching anymore, which bums me cause I love the drum skill.
