December 31, 2010, 14 years ago
LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler helped Roadrunner Records celebrate their 30th anniversary by answering some quick questions survey-style. Check out the Q&A; below:
Q: In 30 years you will be…
Adler: "I'm looking forward to staying as active as possible in heavy music. Sooner or later my body might give out, but I'll never stop listening and loving it. If I can do that from a beach somewhere, no complaints!"
Q: Best music moments of the last 30 years?
Adler: "Starting at 1980 huh....wow. Well we've all seen the rise of heavy metal as we know it today in that time. That's pretty huge for me. The death of rap-metal was a real good move, too."
Q: Highlight of your career thus far?
Adler: "Touring the world has been great and we've been very fortunate to have such a long career. The awards, plaques and nominations are all very nice to have as well, but for me I think the highlight has been showing my mom all the magazines we make it in to. She's very proud and very supportive and it always makes her smile."
Q: Crappiest moment in music in the last 30 years?
Adler: "Two words, Fred Durst. Also, I've never been a fan of country music, but I've noticed how it has become very pop oriented. I'm sure that drives real country artists nuts, because most of that shit sucks."
Q: Album from your generation that will be legendary in 30 years?
Adler: "RADIOHEAD / OK Computer, REFUSED / Shape Of Punk To Come, MESHUGGAH / Destroy Erase Improve.
Q: Roadrunner classic album?
Adler: DEATH / Symbolic.
Q: What makes it a classic?
Adler: "This album changed what I thought was possible within heavy music. All the stars aligned for Chuck on this record and it continues to blow me away. I hope someday, when I grow up, I can make an album like this."
