Obviously you are wrong!!! But he was a critical part of them. I said the same thing about my favorite band SLIPKNOT!!! After Joey left I thought it wouldn't ever be the same but I was way wrong! Jay Weinberg has filled Joey's shoes and then some. Obviously it's not Joey but Jay is just as talented if not better! Hate to say it but awesome bands break up all the time. If it's only one guy that leaves usually but he'll everybody is replaceable. I'm about to go see one of my top 3 bands if all time PANTERA in July. Just because dime and his brother are dead don't mean that a couple of their best friends and musicians that are just as talented can't do the same job
The balls to do a drawn out double bass part like that… and u can tell the band is waiting for the Tom’s to come in so they know he is done. Mother trucker!
daaamn, saw them 2 times with this lineup, Abyss tour and that very year 2006...the thing about lombardos crazy groove taste is that he doesnt lay back when doublehitting the bassdrum, instead he does accelerate the speed even more and gives a shit load of energy into the song...THATS what so many metaldrummers lack of, just lots of "on time zombies"...
Kind of like Paul Bostaph? Lol when you say on time zombie drummers.. Paul literally has no groove like Lombardo, and literally just played like a robot, same boring ass fills on every song absolutely no improvisation like Lombardo. Paul was good on divine intervention, but his last stint with slayer from 2013 until the band's ending he was absolutely boring live.
This is SLAYER. True original Slayer. When Jeff was still with us and before Tom & Kerry fucked Lombardo. The best Slayer ran through Seasons and after that was nothing to compare by any stretch of the imagination.
