NUCLEAR ASSAULT / Glenn Evans 

I've been friends with Glenn since 1977. Drove him to his first bar band audition and have followed him ever since. He's a great drummer, who's come a long way from the bar days. He was always a beast, beating the hell out of his drums with all his might. He spent a fortune on sticks, heads, and cymbals, because he broke them all the time! Only one drumsticks he didn't break were Teflon! He bent the shit out of them!! I've been so proud to call him friend.

old school drumer with huge speed metal experience. .whole life was playing very fast and strong.. great respect Nuclear Assault

Glenn is a pure legend and Nuclear Assault one of the most underrated bands ever

Glenn is my aunts next door neighbor, several times i have talked to him out on his driveway. He is such a nice guy you would never known hes a drummer for a metal band...

Legend. So underrated as a drummer IMO.

Glen is a legend. I'm forty nine and I grew up listening to them. Good Times, Bad Times.

such an underrated drummer , LOVE THIS GUY

My all time favorite drummer. He is a musician! Today, the metaldrummers are boring drummachines without soul. Sorry to say.

great drummer, great attitude, love Nuclear Assault

great Drummer one of my fav !!! and nuclear Assault is one of the best band for me forever

One of the best drum interviews ever! I became a fan of these guys back in 1987. Saw them on April 13th 1990 while in support of Handle With Care with Testament & Savatage. They put on an amazing show!

always loved his drumming on search and seizure

He looks so sad in the thumbnail. He's a beast on the drums though and he always had really unique, fun fills in his playing imo

simple setting but cool sound, that's a drummer

Damn old-school metal heads are awesome.

His drumming in the song brainwashed is magnificent. Some of the best I've ever heard.

When i see Glenn Evans now, just reminds me of 80s thrash. The first thrash metal band i ever listened to (Nuclear Assault). One of the very best in his game.

"The Plague" is one of the greatest Metal albums in history!!! \m/

Mr Evans you are a iNSPIRATION TO ME AS A KID IN THE 80S !@ nO ONE PLAYED LIKE YOU !

this was a fun interview

Always loved Nuclear Assault. Brain Death is one of the best composed great metal songs ever. .... but I was always shocked that Glenn was never sniped away by a "bigger" act, Shannon Larkin or Trujillo. He's brilliantly efficient as a drummer.

Fantastic! I was born in 1970 and loved Nuclear Assault (we always supported the "smaller" bands, also) and the sound of that band really is outstanding and unique!!! (especially the albom "Game Over" - it's a classic, try it out! BD

Nuclear assault was one of the hardest thrash metal bands with a pretty rock n roll attitude.

Thrash drummer who hits like Bonham, absolute legend!

Один из лучших барабанщиков в ТРЭШЕ! ❤😊

Glenn foi meu baterista favorito desde 1986!!! Meus amigos ainda nem conheciam Nuclear Assault e eu falava: uma puta banda com um baterista fantástico!! Em 1989 durante o show em São Paulo eu dei um mosh tão empolgado que quase quebrei a coluna. haahaha bons tempos!

i gotta say when I heard the intro to something wicked this way comes blew me away that song is my goto goto song on a bad day (2017-til today )man that song is powerful

I was in a band called Minddrive in the early to mid 90s. We had the honor of opening for Nuclear Assault in Syracuse NY. Glenn was totally cool, down to earth and brought the house down with his playing. He hit everything with such brute force and authority to where my deaf aunt in Omaha heard him!

Huge inspiration to me, as well as many others. Glenn is a living legend for anybody with a pulse to witness. LOVE YOU MAN!

the Something Wicked album tempo changes for the solos are absolutely insane, i love it, its my favorite metal album

Stand back for Exciter!!! Love his Rob Halford yell.

I’ll never forget how nice you were. Studio One in NJ many years ago. 💙

I found out about Nuclear Assault too late. His drumming is really amazing

It's so cool finding this on RU-vid he used to live in my tiny town Warren Grove. I was young then probably around 10 but I remember going canoeing with him. He's definitely a good dude he was always happy. I wish I still had the nuclear assault shirt he gave me

Still thrash out to Survive, great album as well as Handle With Care. Glenn is a solid drummer, hard hitter and brings it. Give us another album guys!

Fucking awesome drummer - always loved his snare rolls - amazing speed and control

The Ian Paice of Thrash Metal

Love his no nonsense style... straight forward beefy beats. Met him once on the a staircase at the Palladium when they played with Agnostic Front, Lunachicks, Leeway and Murphy's Law.

I love Nuclear Assault ever since hearing them on a live show broadcast on the radio in England at the Hammersmith Odeon circa 1986, it was just a pure wall of thick noise, I immediately thought they were great. I was right, the albums were full of excellent songs, I think of them as the Ramones of heavy metal

LOVE the interview style, using examples, fantastic. Great Drummer from a great old band.

This man right here was one of my favs growing up!!!

really cool interview- thank you!

Funny guy. Lol. Met him several times back in the day. Very cool guy. And also very underated drummer. He is so badass. One of my favorite thrash drummers

Always loved the whole sound. This is one of many bands I grew up listening to (and still own their cassettes/vinyl) in the 80's.

Now there is man who just loves to talk about his craft 🙃 Man, I loved those early NA records 😁

awesome interview .. kick ass drummer of all time .

Saw them at their first ever uk gig back in the day supporting agent steel at hammersmith odeon as it was called then..john Connelly stage diving not realising their was seats was a classic memory...and yes we went for nuclear assault not ageing steel as did nearly everyone in crowd it seemed...happy days

Such an underrated band. Love them.

We’ll never meet a more honest drummer. Keep on rocking bro

I love this guy's approach to playing drums! He's a beast of a drummer! I play drums on occasion, and I'm learning that you can never be too old to find new influences. Thanks, Glen!

The basics of how to play Rockenroll in 4 min.

His work on "Handle with care" is incredible.

Amazing drummer. Thanks for the music. From this 52 year old stoner from the 80s

THX for Metal drums in Nuclear Assault ...... I saw 2 times live in France ; merci beaucoup !

Awesome heavy hitter thanks for the great drumming.

Don't make long demo brother need a rest.. u been smashing the war drums for decades... thx for the great service to global metal legion... big respect to u sir

This a great format for a drummer interview; he doesn't tell drumming influence but plays the beat and sings with it to tell you which part of the song he's at. He's cool and chill as fuck, and a great, hard player. All drum interviews should be done like this.

just started to listen to these guys and so glad metal today sux and to me their old stuff is fresh and so needed to me but wow this band is awesome

If someone asked me name some of the greatest drummers in thrash metal. The first two names to come to mind would be Glenn and Perry Strickland of Vio-lence. Very cool of you to do this interview and the one with Donald Tardy. An interview with Perry would be kickass!

This guys got a great style. Killer fills!

i graduated in 90, "Survive" was my absolute favorite album when i was in high school.

Why does he look like he's about to cry in the thumbnail?

Ya gotta love this guy! Especially in 2019!!!!

It's always great to hear Phil Rudd getting the shout out.

It’s about time this guy got some media respect. Love this guy, love Nuclear Assault.

thank you sir , that made my day .

Glen fit-in Nuclear Assault very well. He is a very solid old school metal drummer with groove and power to match !

Good to see you Glenn!!

LOVE this guy...He would love my drummer. BT Saints

Great!

I love this guy!

Dude, is awesome, had a beer with him at the 9:30 club in DC,. On the Handle with Care tour

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!! love the band still. peace

Love it

Love Glens drumming...

you can tell Glen is a super cool old school trash metalhead! I found this 4 minute video the most amusing from a drummer in ages, was not about drumming , was about being a drummer to the crowd! the guy is laid back and unpretentious - "Lars ulrich should come and learn how not to be a Diva"

Great guy🥁🥁🥁

What a drummer! Legend.

great drummer

I had Glenn's album, C.I.A. used to jam to that also.

Love u sir!!!!!!

unclear assault rules, I always loved the drums on their records. Awsome stuff

Keep rockin'!

He knows his shit, can play anything.

old school legend!

I absolutelly love how he plays Kiss and Priest while singing like it was easy, he seems a very kind guy

i got ur drumstick in Barcelona , love bro.

Hung out with nuclear assault for 3 days up in Buena Park CA 1987, Glenn Evans stayed back, he didn't run around with the rest of us!! Dan liker is 💯💯 he even paid for my food up at the mall. Wild time's.... All thanks to katon of Hirax phantasm at the time 💯💯🔥🤘🤘

Glenn succeded. The Nuclear Assault drum sound kicks so much ass, it makes other bands butthurt.

Cool dude!

A legend!

Loved the Kiss part 👍

Yeah he seems pretty cool!!

Lenda viva!

one the best
