      The Who were quite similar in that John Entwistle, as a bassist, kept the whole thing going while Keith Moon, the drummer, went off on a ridiculous, usually drunken, solo! It’s funny, I was in a band where the drummer used to watch me for changes when I was playing guitar! Some bands just have a weird way of clicking and not being what you’d think of as ‘traditional’.

    0:40 this has got to be the single most atrocious beat any drummer has played in history. Like you would be hard pressed to play a worse beat even if you were fucking around in the practice room. Maybe you could if you intentionally tried to make a worse beat. Maybe. The placement of the notes seem to be just about perfectly off in a way that triggers some primal, visceral reaction in your brain. It must be the same guttural evolutionary instinct that cavemen of opposing tribes were attuned to that made them recoil at the sound of their enemy tribe playing a drum fashioned out of slain mammoth skin, signaling a time of conflict. Its the antithesis to everything that goes into making a good beat. Think about the most perfect groove a person could lay down. Think about your reaction to it. The head bobbing, the feet tapping, the face stankin. Now take all of that and flip it on its head. The exact opposite of everything that was just described perfectly encapsulates this beat. As a drummer myself I can say with one hundred percent conviction that no other beat has evoked as much pure, unbridled hatred in me as much as this one has. It literally makes me want to blast my face off with a shotgun. Fuck this im going to go watch some clips of Nate Smith before I have a panic attack.

    That 2nd one (...and Justice for All) isn't actually his fault, if you listen to the drum pattern before, it is the guitars that come in in the wrong place

    It’s crazy how I never noticed how basic Lars was (I’m a drummer but pretty mediocre). Then I read somewhere about how “bad” Lars is and now I can’t stop noticing the same basic fills and beats. He got very far for how good he is.

    0:44 I think this is the moment when Lars and his ride cymbal began their falling out.

    If anything, it makes Hetfield all the more amazing to be able to keep such incredible rhythms in spite of Lars doing everything to throw him off track!

      Yes sir, you are correct. I didn't listen to the guitars at the time to accurately judge who was at fault.
      All I know is the timing of that song is similar to possum kingdom and it can get confusing if you aren't extremely focused on every note.
