White Reaper - Asking For A Ride (January 27, 2023) • Page 11

Hope they tour again soon

 

Feels like a new album could be due soon

 

When Spiritual Cramp played D.C. on the Militarie Gun/Pool Kids tour they said "we'll be back in June with a band called White Reaper", so something in the cards

 

An absolutely perfect pairing that’s awesome

 

It’s a cover of I Can’t Escape Myself.

It’s…fine.

 

They are also doing a split together. Spiritual Cramp played their song for it in Chicago.

 

We are eatin whenever that split and those shows drop

 

The new song reminded me more of their first two ep’s (Mass Hysteria and Police State) than the new album, which I found interesting. Might just be due to not playing it a ton together or maybe it’s a holdover, but thought that was interesting.

 

Every single person in here should be listening to the Sheer Mag record that came out yesterday

 

The WR song absolutely rips.

 

they does it again

 

2 of the best bands

 

I’ve been watching Animal Kingdom and songs from Does It Again are sprinkled throughout and it’s great.

Fun album.

 

Weird statement, but wish him the best of luck in whatever he does next!

 

Bummer, awesome drummer

 

Damn that sucks

 

Now I'm wondering what would creatively satisfy him.

 

One of the best rhythm sections in rock. Those guys were always locked in. Absolute bummer.

I wonder how he could be creatively unfulfilled. I remember reading interviews about how he consciously paired back his drumming starting on YDL vs Worlds Greatest. Staying in pocket, simple fills, etc. The songs still wailed but maybe not getting to do the flashy stuff just made him sad?

 

Given it’s a genuine message, I don’t think it’s that hard to see how he might want more to work with than the brand of rock music White Reaper have sort of committed themselves to. It’s also possible that he’s simply fell out of love with drumming in general or become more interested in a new outlet

 

Being creatively unsatisfied for several years after your last record came out just last year? Oof but if that’s how he feels then he’s making the right call.

Anyways - Shimmy rocks!

 

the brothers played as the rhythm section for Eddie Vedder (solo) so I'm sure they'll have good opportunities. maybe that sort of thing is more creatively fulfilling for them even though they presumably aren't writing any of that music. i remember their last album was an ordeal where the label had them use a pop producer and the band rejected most/all of those recordings and then instead recorded with one of their friends (maybe at their own expense?). wouldn't be surprised if W̶a̶r̶n̶e̶r̶ Elektra is still "encouraging" them to be a more pop/simplistic style band

looks like they were recording as of April, and they have August dates lined up, so we'll probably know more soon-ish

 

when did they do that? eddie's last solo tour was with andrew watt, duff mckagan and the old chili peppers guitarist

 

wanna say it was an NBC covid relief show or something big on that scale

edit: it was this. didn't realize it's already been 3 years... Foo Fighters perform AC/DC's "Back in Black" with Brian Johnson at VAX Live Concert: Watch
