I think what you were going to say was "but yet he still wrote the drum parts on some of the most important metal albums in all of history and inspired millions of of drummers to learn to play and should be remembered as an all time great". at least thats my guess of what you were going to say
He's been sounding good lately...my issue with Lars is that he doesn't TRY. He wouldn't rehearse and he would just go out and wing it...don't take people money if you aren't going to deliver the goods. Respect them enough to give them a good performance.
Lars is very subtle, some of the hits you won't see or hear and some of the polyrhythms so complex it sounds out of time. Stick with it and you'll get there.
Here’s what I don’t understand: I’m not a huge Metal/Metallica guy, but I’ve always loved ‘The Unforgiven’, ‘The Memory Remains’… And, _on those two songs_ - Lars fucking nails it. His Drumming on ‘The Unforgiven’ & ‘The Memory Remains’ - is fucking *perfect.* To this day, I still genuinely think that those have some of the most Beautiful, Emotional, and Melodic Drumming that I’ve ever heard.

I haven’t heard those songs, but I have heard at least part …And Justice For All’s title track, and that’s my go-to example of how Lars used to be good. I don’t even care if they had to be edited a lot; the guy must’ve been doing SOMETHING right to make those tom fills in the intro sound so good.
Thats not fair at all. You didn't even mention how he also remembered which way to hold the drumsticks, or that he hit all the drums on the correct part to make the sound
He stopped doing cocaine and stopped practicing lol. He was decent on some of the Master of Puppets tours, but he’s been really really bad since shortly after that.
0:07 Hits1-5: Clearly missed Hits 6-9: Missed due to rebound (bad wrist control) Hits 10-11: Very close, but rebound and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses Hit 12: Stick likely didn't actually hit because Hiko was already dead
I know Lars isn't that good a drummer, BUT 1) He helped to create the biggest sub-genre of heavy metal, opening doors for thousands of other bands 2) He's co written some of metal's most iconic songs and 3) He has the vision, enthusiasm and business acumen any group needs on the inside. I say he gets a pass.
Totally agree! One doesn't need to be the best, just be the right one in the right package at the right time with the right plan and willing to go all the way. Which lars& co definiteoy did. By the way: i never said, he's one of the BEST; only wrote "he's one of the drummers in the world". ...that was supposed tob be a pun :-)))
@@Rockandrollgeerage I think you missed my point. Lars is the best and only drummer for Metallica, period. Same with Kirk H, who too many folks also talk trash on.

He plays in a time signature and polyrhythm that no mortal can comprehend.

Lars may lack groove, feel and any technical ability and not be remembered for any unique drumming style but…umm…I forgot what I was going to say
😆
You were gonna say, "...but, somehow, he's made more money than any drummer EVER."
😂 I think you've said it perfectly as is

Right, cuz he sucks so bad he plays in one of the biggest bands of all time
@@2ndAveScents Metallica's still riding the waves from their first five albums, at which time Lars was actually quite decent.
No. His best drum fill was when he fell down the stairs as a child. That sound was epic.

Oh dear. I normally get angry at Lars haters, but for this one I am going to take a step back.
its really not that bad of a fill, and its actually in time
@@contramachina354what kinda hurts though is how good the fill sounds on the album and it would be really easy for him to play it like that
@@vixtermono5901 well that should have been in the video. I'm a drummer and I don't remember what this fill is "supposed" to sound like

His Drumming on ‘The Unforgiven’ & ‘The Memory Remains’ - is fucking *perfect.*
To this day, I still genuinely think that those have some of the most Beautiful, Emotional, and Melodic Drumming that I’ve ever heard.

Alternate title: Lars bangs on his drums then James goes “OREEEO.”
well, I'd be scared to try to duplicate what I recorded right there too. Still funny!
Herregud
Scared or not capable. Definitely one or the other.
In this clip we can appreciate his most relevant skill: be the band's owner
Thats not fair at all. You didn't even mention how he also remembered which way to hold the drumsticks, or that he hit all the drums on the correct part to make the sound
Scrubs he was playing 9:5 polyrhythm, so clean you missed it !
I guess it was better than his endless tapping on the snare!
He used to be a powerhouse in the late 80s and early 90s, what happened?
Exactly what I said over and over.
I'd say that no one bothered to keep him in check. As in no one pulled him up on his bad drumming.
He stopped doing cocaine and stopped practicing lol. He was decent on some of the Master of Puppets tours, but he’s been really really bad since shortly after that.
He got lazy
How do you practice without cocaine?
He turned 60 that’s what happened!
His hands must have fell asleep.

That's the greatest Larsism I've ever seen 🤣

I was wondering how Lars would to perform the Moth Into Flame fills live, turns out he doesn't even attempt them
Listening that song just because i dont recall any "complex" drum fill/s.

Like me when I was a 12 yo kid try to emulate Ian Paice 's fast sixteenth without technique
