Post Reply - Dave Holland

   Don't know about the specific questions. What I do know is, like Downing and Tipton, I found Holland's drumming to be a severe hindrance on what the band was capable of.
Both the early, pre-Holland Priest and post-Holland Priest could do faster, more sophisticated songs. Basically from British Steel until Painkiller JP were like a one-armed band IMO.

Feel a bit similarly about Dio's bromance with Vinnie Appice, who I consider a mediocre rock drummer. All of Dio's work with Appice would have been improved with a more accomplished drummer.
