Drummer on Knockin' On Heaven's Door Days of Thunder Soundtrack

[evpangi]

Was it Steven or Matt? The drumming sounds "boomier" compared to UYI II version? I know that steven was on Civil War but you could really tell the drumming was different after that song.  I prefer steven's drumming over Matt's. It's groovier.

Thanks for the info.

While we're sorta on the topic does anyone know if Steven wrote all of the UYI drum parts?

Not likely, I am sure that when Matt came into the mix he just jammed with the guys and did his own thing but Adler was with the band while they worked on most of Use Your Illusion and was a part of the writing process

although i have no proof...i would bet "NO" steven had no input on the drumming on the uyi albums(with the obvious exception of civil war). i think steven was a great drummer for the appetite material, what matt played on the albums was beyond his abilities.  i personally don't care for matt as a drummer(i find him to be too mechanical and not enough 'feel'), but his technical abilities far surpass that of steven.

Dude Steven could play anything on the UYI's and I'm fairly sure Matt didn't write anything I think it was either Steve or Duff

 The songs were written before Matt joined. Steven wrote them. Matt could have added to what was there but steven had the basis of the songs. Dont forget a lot of the UYI songs were written in like 85-89.

You want to hear Steven Drumming on UYI songs, listen to the demos like Dont Cry, Back off bitch, the pretty tied up with izzy on vocals.

evidently your not a drummer. if you were you'd understand that being physically able to play something, and being able to properly pull something off(i'm talking about emotion here-how the drums move the music), is something completely different. steven adler was NOTHING when he was booted out. his best days were behind him. THAT'S WHY HE WAS FUCKING KICKED OUT! use your head before making a comment.

Check your facts. Adler was still a good drummer, he was just too fucked up on drugs to actually do it.
There is a difference. If he could have stayed clean, he could have performed the songs.

Hey dumbarse read the comment above me. DRUGS FUCK PEOPLE UP. Steven was capable he just nedded to get clean, which he didn't

[.slash.]

steven may have writen most of the drums, he may not, all i know is he most definatly wrote Civil War, YCBM, and i would think Dont Cry

[baz1]

i never hear that version....and i thought that the only diference was in the lyrics....guess i am wrong

[fuckethead]

Matt wrote all his own parts on the Illusion cd's. Steven was jammin the tunes during the " song writing process" but when it came time to tracking and recording the song Matt played and recorded his parts. Im sure tempos and certain grooves were the same cause in some cases they would need to be to keep the song on track. But Matt didnt play drums that Steven put to those songs, it was ideas and beats that he saw fit. Think Estranged it could'nt be further away from Steven's style, just more proof that Matt wrote these parts.
