@@molochz Well... no. My comment was on Estepario's performance. Actually, Lars' drumming has not only saved his own life (big time), but also many others' as well. It's not about his technical side only, it's about what he has offered to music in general. He is not the best drummer in the world, but he is definitely one of the most influential drummers in rock history.

[@javihernandez2755]

@@molochz serious musician, I guess (are 12 years of conservatory as a percussionist enough?) and metal drummer here, and I hold a lot of respect for Lars. Any musician should be only judged for their technical abilities. Bob Dylan is an awful singer and still has some of the most important songs in history, Charlie Watts was even worse than Lars and still the Rolling Stones influenced many generations, bands like Green Day or Nirvana where none of the members were technically proficient made an insane amount of 90s kids pick a guitar, bass or drums and start learning. In fact, if you ask most of these technical prodigies about their favorites, they would cite people who are, in theory, much worse players. Music is not a craftmanship, it's twice as much about feelings and passion as it is about technique and skills

Eres un fenómeno, podría describir miles de adjetivos maravillosos para explicar lo que haces y aún así me quedaría corto.. Pero prefiero resumir mi comentario en una sola frase: “Eres capaz de mejorar, adornar y dar brillo a cada una de las versiones que tocas, pero lo más alucinante es la sensación que trasmites de facilidad y sencillez tocando temas que ya de por sí son muy complejos” Viéndote tocar tengo la sensación de que que hasta yo mismo podría hacerlo, eso es lo que que más admiro en ti, a veces no sé si tú estás tocando la batería o ella te está tocando a ti, creo sinceramente que no hay un músico y un instrumento, ambos sois un solo elemento fundidos entre sí. Me quito el sombrero!!

we all know he is an excellent drummer.. I think the song is well done I think some of it's overplayed no need for a ride cymbal l at all this is just my opinion whether you like it or not I think some of the double bass is not needed and you definitely need the times in this song what she doesn't use I think that really enhances the fills.. I think when the double bass really kicks in towards the end that is intense however I do believe this guy is using triggers. I am not a big fan of triggers at all..

Brilliant work sir. Love it. I hope people don't use this to start hating on Lars. It's old. Lars gets my respect for the following reasons 1. A lot of his Puppets and Justice stuff is utterly brilliant. 2. Given how much live work they've done it's easy to throw together a cheap shot "isn't Lars rubbish" montage and leave out the hundreds of hours he got right. Context... I know I've fucked up enough to make a pretty good montage of my own. 3. He's written and performed on more records than any of us will ever manage in our lives. Respect.

[@sirdavidalot]

Every drummer I went to high school with in the 90s had a double bass pedal because of Lars

[@ext93]

Lars is great and Metallica has been a major inspiration to so many musicians. It's still funny to joke about it though. I like to think it's just joking like friends do with each other, even though some people are mean about it which isn't necessary. For example my friend is a great electrician but I still make fun of his work all the time just to bust his balls. I see it like that. And he makes fun of my renovation work

[@sarl2121]

When James and Lars first jammed, I thought Lars was the worst drummer I had heard in my life. He couldn't keep a beat, and compared to Mulligan [drummer in Leather Charm, Hetfield's first band], he just couldn't play. So I told James, 'this guy sucks, dude'." - Ron McGovney [original Metallica bassist] remembering Lars' audition in April 1981 I still love Lars. Saw them first in 93, Milton Keynes Bowl, first show they ever played with Megadeth on the same bill. Seem 'em nearly a dozen times since then.

[@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry]

@@galenmarek8287 Lars was pretty damned good for the time. Was he "great?" In terms of writing, I would have to say yes and he usually did it live perfectly for a couple of decades. Ultimately though, Lars influenced generations of drummers including Estepario Siberiano (i.e. guy you're listening to right now.) So...maybe, just maybe, Lars was a bit more "great" than what you're giving him credit for. After all, he still plays in one of the most influential metal bands that ever walked the planet and during the 80's and early 90's, his drum writing was brilliant. He never did too much and he never did too little. He accented everything correctly and filled in the spaces needed for Kirk to showcase his abilities and for James to layer the type of vocals needed to carry the music. Is he as good as the metal and jazz drummers of today? No. But, he was pushing the envelope when there weren't many bands making this style of music. So...he gets my respect and credit, even though I am damn sure he's not looking for it.

[@galenmarek8287]

@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry I agree mostly. He’s just gotten lazy in the past few decades it seems. Before Metallica blessed us with “Load” I thought Lars was one of the better thrash drummers, though I was only 15 at the time. He and Kirk both seemed to have gotten complacent in their older days.

@@easternag16 No disrespect to any artist. But when people told SRV that he played Little Wing better than Hendrix, SRV was quick to shut that down saying that the true talent was writing the song to begin with and that anyone can add onto what's already been created.

Yeah, awesome drummer but a tad overplayed on this one. Drums were lost...

[@jamrmx]

Lars is much more than a simple drummer, he can outsell Taylor Swift, no other band today can say that

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

This is for fun, he never said that this is what the song should be like.

@@jd0879 Imagine getting this mad over people having fun with music. Hope your day gets less miserable.

[@MandyZor-El]

Yeah…I like Estepario’s version better

[@restzeit5520]

You made Metallica sound modern in just 4 Minutes. Your musicality on the drums is absolute insane ... Thank You !!!!

[@faithfull4373]

Very true

[@jeandista]

Modern.......hmmm.........

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Those double kicks are crushing!!! 🤘

[@paullyo8530]

When Robert came in 1st thing in the morning to try out...They went straight to Battery. Out of the gait. Trujillo anyone? Jason...you will always be the GOAT.

[@podboq2]

You've built a level of skill that would let you slip into any band on Earth...

Except Metallica

You never heard sum 41? Best for whom the bell tolls, band out there imo

[@Blofehlt]

Off !! Houlier than thou

[@Virual7strings]

Joey Jordinson when he sub'ed for Lars on tour was absolutely incredible... Every song he banged out his style made it 10 times better.

[@ealdc1]

I agree, better drums than the originals

[@thedanishvapingviking8473]

is a HUGE fan of Metallica. And have to say, your drumming is on fire, making this even better

[@capoman1]

GREAT NOSTALGIC MEMORY. When I was a kid the only way to see a Guitar Center or Sam Ash was to go to the city... I'm in Chicago. I start playing the acoustic intro to Battery. ACROSS THE STORE someone begins playing the harmony, and we progress through the song.

[@peroquemamonazo]

Uno de los mejores temas de la historia del heavy metal

Best album of metallica the music i grew up with and still play loud as Great drumming

[@Strathi1]

Searching for a drum cover I found a "See how it should be done, Lars" version. Fuc*ing amazing

[@CelebTime568]

Love or hate metal (and I love), it without doubt contains the most technically brilliant musicianship on the planet. This is truly spectacular! 👏

[@morbidmanmusic]

in one very small slice. every genre has it's masters.

[@Amanojaku8]

Nah, that'd be jazz. I'd love to see him play Caravan for example.

[@yopiff]

Simply amazing. Best drummer I've seen anywhere!

[@sucha_beastmode]

That crossover shuffle right before the guitar solo 🤯

[@nickbenjamin5837]

Now THAT is what I have been waiting to see! I have seen dozens and dozens of short snippets, and as a drummer of over 40 years, my biggest question has been your endurance. Anyone can get tight and skilled by putting in the practice. I needed to see you play and entire song so THANK YOU! Keep the full length songs coming and I will keep watching and commenting 💯

[@joneno1820]

This guy is the best drummer on this planet right now! He can play anything. What could he do with some Jazz licks?! I’d love to see that!

[@Zudomon120]

Eloy

Jazz is a whole other ball game

Eloy indeed👍@@Zudomon120

Ok….that was the best drum cover of Battery I’ve ever heard. You my friend…just a BEAST!!!!

[@SEILLC]

Agreed. Dude makes it look easy.

Check out the Eloy Casagrande cover of Battery

Ni el mismísimo Lars la tocaba así de perfecta. Excelente man!!!

[@evandale7335]

3:15 I just love how it's an iconic enough drum part to not play any different to the studio version

[@Cichlids23]

one of the Greatest Metal songs EVER !!! well done sir..

[@bigcountry55]

Outstanding performance brother! The tempo and energy is so addicting makes you want more! Keep up the great work man! Rock on!!!!!

[@robertrobb3765]

You make it look so easy, keep rocking. You're on top of your game. Your style is unique and one of a kind . Hope to see you in some major music videos soon.

[@matth2868]

Dude you absolutely crush this song. I don't even think Lars plays it in time correctly and I mean this is absolutely amazing. Thank you doing this. I'm not even a drummer but I can appreciate this as a guitar player and a bass player and someone who's played in numerous bands covering this song. Well done

[@doubledave7451]

After 35 years of rock/metal drumming, and being pretty damn good myself, the internet never fails to humble me lol. Considering Mr Siberiano is only playing a 4 piece kit, most times a 3 piece, he manages to make it sound like a stadium kit. Does more with less with ungodly skill.
