@@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.

@@justanotherbeautiful5736 perfect example of “What if Metallica had a great drummer all along?”

[@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. It’s just fun to rag on Lars for the meme value though.

Ever since that he has never been the same it looks like. Although I think its crazy that for a song like No leaf clover Lars played the drums in one go and its a great drum track without fuck ups. He is a mystery to all of us.

@@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. So many guitarists can play the guitar "better" than Hendrix. Yet, none of them will ever be in consideration when talking about who is the greatest.

@@raptorrsr5817 i use the word i want. Stop telling people what word to use or what to do. If anyone had the ability to do this, then the word talent won’t be use, dont be stupid.

This is why I actually like Lars. He doesn't tend to go too far out there on fills. For him, it's about how good the song can sound as a whole, not useless little drum fills that are fun to play for a drummer, but take away from the song.

[@SusaVile]

THANK YOU! I find it so unreal how people nowadays keep saying he is bad. As a guitar player, Lars is perfect because he soon realized that he can make everyone in the band shine instead of going overboard with it; I can actually hear the guitar parts better in any metallica song compared to other metal bands. And yet, he still finds places to make his own style and ideas show up.

[@typhoon-7]

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.
