Biography

Remember the good old days, when jazz-fusion wasn't all about showing off your chops, and was more about creating sweeping moods, and the importance of songwriting? Well, the Bombastic Meatbats certainly remember those days. Having obviously studied the classic early-to-mid '70s recordings of such fusion greats as Return to Forever and Jeff Beck, the group (which includes such members as Grammy… Read more in Amazon's Chad Smith Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic & Bombastic!!!, January 27, 2010

John Rogers "dafunkydrummer" (Manasquan, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meet the Meatbats (Audio CD)

Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats are all that & more. This CD kills with some heavy hittin' instrumental funk rock. It's the best way I can describe it. I actually got to see this band "live" at NAMM 2010 in Anaheim as part of the Sabian Live concert and they tore the roof off. Buy this disc. Great players all around. A +++

Terry Raines (SATSUMA, AL. U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Meet the Meatbats (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed this cd when I got it. With the silly sounding song titles, I wondered how serious it would be. But it really suprised me.Im not as big a fan of instumental cds as I used to be. Now Ill only buy stuff like Jeff Beck, Steve Hunter, Jan Ackerman. Most instumentals are ussually alot of " widdly, widlly" stuff. To much speed, and not enough feel. This reminds me of Wired and Blow by Blow era Beck.
Chad Smith has got to be the busiest man in rock music. Hes on everthing!!I would highly recomend this cd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Judge A Book..., January 15, 2010

shmoopatties (usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meet the Meatbats (Audio CD)

Silly band name. Drummer leading a band. Half-hearted cover. Even though I know better, I almost judged a book by the cover..glad I put preconceptions aside and listened to it! If you like Jeff Beck's 'Blow By Blow' or 'There And Back', this will hit you right in your wheelhouse. I fear calling it "Jazz-Fusion" cause I know that's a bad word to lots of folks, but this is a classic addition to the fusion cannon. This will get played to death for years to come in my household!

I'd give this a 4.45 rating rounded down to 4. Masterful playing without, ironically, being bombastic. Read more

Of course we know that CHAD SMITH is an extraordinary drummer through his work with the CHILLI PEPPERS, but this puts a huge exclamation point on his resume. Read more

This is a great disc. Jeff Kollman is at peak form. Tasty tunes with great Kollman shredding.

Being a huge fan of Kollman and Cosmosquad lead me to this. Wow. This reminds me a bunch of Jeff Becks older stuff, but with more of a solid groove to it. Read more
