Lars was a good drummer. He stopped practicing...
People always say that. In my experience, though, correct technique means you don’t really lose much skill even if you take months or years off.

I see your point but that is kind of my point as well. I think that everyone that I mentioned are so well known that they would and should be missed. They could all technically be replaced, there's always someone out there that could play as well as or even better, but that could be said about pretty much any drummer in any band with very few exceptions. All of those that I mentioned have reached a level of success that I think deserves respect whether they have the greatest chops or not. We should celebrate any drummer that is as well known in their band as the singer or guitar player. When Black Sabbath replaced Bill Ward for their last album and tour, I as a fan didn't support that move and didn't go see them on that tour because to me he is as important in that band as Ozzy is. I'm sure that the guy that they had replace him did a good job but to me it wasn't the same and Bill deserved to be there as much as anyone else in that band. Sorry, I'm rambling at this point. I normally wouldn't even reply to a thread like this, I would read it and move on but Coronavirus and lack of being around people have made me extremely bored!
Did Tommy actually play on that recording? And I can’t take those guys seriously. I’ve got nothing against them, but let’s be honest—they were probably not taking themselves entirely seriously either. It’s a little too over-the-top to be totally believable. Not that I have anything against them.
I always enjoyed musicians and groups who didn’t rely on looks or makeup to sell their music. The Allman Brothers’ At Filmore East is a classic example. When I saw the Crüe album cover, I never bothered to buy or listen to their music. Lipstick? WTF? This was the Hollywood machine in full function. Yes, I “judged the book by its cover”. I’m so glad Black Sabbath or Led Zep never relied on this.
When hair metal was popular I wasn't digging it too much. I had to go back and listen to a lot of it, and I like a lot of it. But at the time, if they looked like girls on the album cover, I didn't buy it. I have lots of hair metal now.I always enjoyed musicians and groups who didn’t rely on looks or makeup to sell their music. The Allman Brothers’ At Filmore East is a classic example.

I think he's pretty good, as were all the 80s metal guys, to an extent. That said, even the other band members wouldn't say he's irreplaceable...Hes a great drummer ......most bands could lose their drummer and go on forever. Tommy is the face and feel of Motley Crue. Cant say that about aloy of modern Rock bands.
..Bunch of Avatars on a drum forum dissin' a guy who cracked the 1% of drummers to get their picture in Rolling Stone...
..Like there is some kind of shame in that? lol..
Really? That’s all it would take? Wow.
YES. Ever hear her sing Bohemian Rhapsody? Shes the real deal for sure.I really question his taste in not hanging on to Pink. Heather Locklear does not impress me. Pink is a legit artist. She’s awesome and I would marry her and have 6 kids tomorrow if I weren’t already married. Oh well.

Nobody gave a crap about drums in the 80s. Nobody practices drum parts from the 80s.
