What songs on "...Left to Lose" did Dave play drums on?

[ragejg]

I've heard that Taylor played on some, and Dave played on others...

Any help?

[Marvin]

I reckon Dave did:

Stacked Actors
Breakout
Learn to Fly
Gimme Stitches
Live In Skin

There's been many an argument about this though.

[ragejg]

argument?

hm, why is there no definite-ness?

grrr... :D

grrr... :D
There's no 'definite-ness' because the CD cover doesn't give any info like they usually do. Most CD's credit everyone who wiggled a big toe during recording. This thang says nothin'

One of the Great Mysteries of Rock & Roll, I guess... :rolleyes: :D

Stacked Actors
Breakout
Learn to Fly
Gimme Stitches
Live In Skin

I had always thought he may have done those songs. Is that speculation on your part or did you actually read it from a reliable or somewhat-reliable source?

Dave definitely did:

Learn to Fly
Gimme Stitches
Next Year

The following are vague possibilites:

Stacked Actors
Live in Skin

But the following are definitely Taylor:

Breakout
Generator
Aurora
Headwires
Ain't it the Life
MIA


The reason why I'm unsure about Stacked Actors and Live in Skin because it sounds a bit like Taylor trying to adapt to Dave's more straight ahead, basic, harder hitting style. Dave has a distinct drumming style which I can kind of pick out because I've listened to so much of his drumming lol...And yeah..so in the two songs..It sounds like Taylor doing more basic harder hitting drumming similar to what you might hear from Dave.

[ragejg]

Hmm, I disagree on "Next Year", as it sounds to me more like Taylor playing on Dave's kit, and attempting his style... some of the fills are in my opinion not quite what Dave would have thrown in there, but SO almost there... I definitely could be wrong though. I sure hope someone asks Dave this question in a future interview...

[manwhosoldtheworld]

People have asked him, he's very vague about it and claims he forgot who did what.

[sticks]

yeah drummers allways forget shit

[MetallicA DouG]

drummers do forget. i'll come up with the most badass fill ever, then when we go to record, i can't remember cause i don't write shit down. one day i'll learn. but i think it is taylor on next year. it just doesn't sound like dave. but who knows, cold day in the sun doesn't either. but it is.

This is why they're drummers in the first place ;)

Well, Dave didn't do Next Year, i'm pretty sure of that.

I'm sure they they split them half and half (including Fraternity i believe).
