Lars has nothing left to prove. Decades of touring. In his early days he left it all out there. I don't expect him to play Battery in 2016 like he did in 1989. The Lars bashing at this point is solely for cool points. Classic albums speak for themselves. Another sweet fucking cover btw. :)
SlimxWorm According to Fleming Rasmussen they got about 30 seconds of usable drum tracks in a days work when Metallica recorded Puppets. But I think it's time to stop the Lars bashing, he is responsible for more kids starting playing drums than Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo and Nick Menza put together.
I mean, he seriously has so much room for improvement. Especially considering pretty much all of his peers are either as old as him or even older, and they drum 100x better. He doesn't have any excuse for being close to the skill level of Dave Lombardo or Gene Hoglan. He's just lazy. Lars was a big inspiration for me as far as playing music, but that doesn't mean I can't see now how lazy he really has become.
Every time I watch one of your cover, even if I knew the song, I completely re-discover it because I can SEE the song being played. If it makes any sense... I hear stuff I didn't hear before. Good job, once again!
I was literally thinking the same. Despite being slow most of the time, I bet this is one of the most hard songs to play in drums from all Metallica playlist
You are one of the most talented drummers I have seen. I really enjoy watching your videos. If I am having difficulty with a certain part of a song, I use your video to better understand how to play it
This guy is a legend and he is drumming very good, but for the ones that say this guy instead of Lars... just no. Josh is not 50 or older, he doesnt need to play in front of 30000 people and he doesnt need to play a show for 2 hours. Btw, you did a great job, nice cover
Great job as usual, back in the day a couple of guys who allowed me to play drums for them,had me learn (Jump in the Fire) a relatively easy song but really fun to play!
Josh you fuckin rock! Im a year and a half into drumming at 40 years old , your Wild Side video was the first one i ever watched,and because of that video i can play most of it, obviously nowhere near as good as you! I play only by ear and watching videos, YOUR VIDEOS!!! Thank you for bieng such an inspiration to me! Keep banging like you do and posting videos, your teaching me so much!!!
Great job dude ! Keep it up , always watching you video drumming ! What you do is unbelievable! Don’t know about rest of the world, but we love you in Russia !
Awesome,AwesomeAwesome!!!! KILLS ME EVERY TIME!👍👍👍👍. Always great to see you Rockin Out Bro! Makes me want to go play no matter where I watch your vids at!! Only prob is, I can’t play as well as you😂😂. Your an Inspiration to me Bro so don’t stop Rocking Man! PEACE OUT ✌️✌️🙏🙏🤪🤪
Holy Fuck. YES!! I've been watching you play your covers since your slipknot auditions in 2014 and I gotta tell ya, damn bro.. you've improved a lot, those fills you throw in there making it your own, are amazing!! Keep up the kick ass work man!! \m/

Your right! While Lars may have lost a bit, he is responsible for laying down the original work. I'm just glad to be here when all this went down.
+Tom Mason try jamming hard for two and half hours at the age of 50 while three other guys follow your beat. Lars aint no joke...

Everyone in Metallica has been phoning it in for decades.

Dude, totally!!
Josh's amazing he does the song just how it is, with a little bit of his own
Josh, I'm not even gonna comment... I couldn't have said that any better than Cleeemoo... F#@K!N AM@Z!NG
Its drum covers like these that make me appreciate the original work even more
I feel you
Funny too because I didn’t hear the double bass in the outro just listening to the track
Pause at 1:18
Josh's like "I'm gonna smash that far left crash, look at me"
Hits china instead...
+Cephalos666 haha, caught that!
This was my favourite Metallica track growing up. Didn't realise how elaborate the drums are until I saw you play it. Great job!
I was literally thinking the same. Despite being slow most of the time, I bet this is one of the most hard songs to play in drums from all Metallica playlist
Absolutamente extraordinário.
You're often using variations of my favourite fills man. It feels so right. Really loved your work on this song, keep it up, take care. Cheers!
+Ozan Arslan thanks
3:45 until the end - very very nice
0:00 until the end - even better than very very nice. It was fucking fucking awesome!!
Josh is a lot of fun to watch. Definitely top 3 most fun UA-cam drummers.
If I ever saw you playing live with Metallica, it would be an amazing experience. You are a drumming god.
That snare tone is BEAUTIFUL
You're the best drummer I've ever seen (and heard).
5:18 sounds dope 🤘
Great cover!
In case if one day lars leave metallica i don’t see any perfect drummer fitting that place in the band but you. You are an amazing drummer
Your improv fill at 3:01. Dude, nice.
Amazing job! :) It was a pleasure to watch and listen to.
Yes! One of my favorites from the album. You did a great job man!
Goddamn it I would pay money to see him play Beneath the Remains
+NTorres321 Hell yes
Same here.
SepticSchizo955 still?
Still
I don't know why I like it, but I like it when Josh looks at the camera. Am I the only one?
4:00 and 5:41 was very nice by the way, and the ending.
You are one of the most talented drummers I have seen. I really enjoy watching your videos. If I am having difficulty with a certain part of a song, I use your video to better understand how to play it
Appreciate it!

Btw, you did a great job, nice cover
i would like to see this in a live performance with a band? :)
One of the most beautiful songs ever
What a damn good Job!!! I love your drum Covers! You're definetly a perfectionist! My respect!
Stellar performance.
So many people who try to cover sanitarium, don t have the cadence or rhythm right. You sir, HAVE IT.
Josh once told me in a comment regarding Lars' drumming: "I can't help but adding shit".
This is very true in this case ;D
Adding shit that actually works
Easily one of my favorite Metallica songs. Great cover, Josh!
I can see years of work, and I wanna play like you! And I know I can!
By far the most entertaining drummer on UA-cam!!! Thanks
2:58 Awesome stuff
Drums are sounding epic....so tight!!
Great job as usual, back in the day a couple of guys who allowed me to play drums for them,had me learn (Jump in the Fire) a relatively easy song but really fun to play!

Great job dude ! Keep it up , always watching you video drumming ! What you do is unbelievable! Don’t know about rest of the world, but we love you in Russia !
I could honestly say that if metallica loses their drummer, YOU would be an exact match to replace him. You are bad ass dude.
Verry good performance .
Beautiful, awesome. Can’t stop using amazing adjectives for this work. 🤘🏻🙌🏻
Awesome,AwesomeAwesome!!!! KILLS ME EVERY TIME!👍👍👍👍. Always great to see you Rockin Out Bro! Makes me want to go play no matter where I watch your vids at!! Only prob is, I can’t play as well as you😂😂. Your an Inspiration to me Bro so don’t stop Rocking Man! PEACE OUT ✌️✌️🙏🙏🤪🤪
