Hey, look... in terms of technicality, he is NOT better...
But in terms of PRESENCE in live performance... he is the best.... Oh specially in his youth... the dude had a long hair like Jesus hahaha.. and for EVERY HIT he was smashing the drum with it... his hair was doing the windmill which LOOKED AWESOME AS FUUUUUUUUCK
So, as a live performer, I just enjoy him 10 times more than any other drummer.... except maybe the drummer for X-Japan band... that dude in a song called "Art of Life" was UNBEATABLE... That dude had everything... dude, I'd staright up sleep with that guy just because of that performance LOL I literally have a crush for him because of that one song live hahaha
