I think people really underestimate lars a lot.

Lars Ulrich + Cocaine = 👌🙊

[@Dewitt-b8n]

Lars was great on black album and both loads. Just more rock oriented and simplified.

[@joshsteffen]

I found out years later that he does. I hear that for a lot of songs and have yet to hear it still. Lightning and Puppets both have a lot of double bass but it's barely audible. Have another listen and you'll probably hear it.

[@paulpv7]

trapped under ice is filled with double bass

I've been following you for years and I've never disagreed with you until now ... from 2:11 to 2:30 you don't use the technique that Lars uses live. sorry my bad english, use google translator

[@krohn7master]

@@anibalinsquin I wouldn’t compare what Lars does in live performances to covers of his studio drumming

[@AtakAnil]

Lars is a genius.

[@alexfabiannunez7539]

[@Bentallica]

Let’s see what a genius you are when you’re 56 years old and after you have sold 125 million records and played in the greatest metal band in the universe for nearly 40 years. Oh wait, we can’t, because you’re not Lars Ulrich.

[@gabrielruicu4300]

Of course he is. People are sh**t though

This is the best one on youtube bro, good job on this one.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks

[@jerryhello]

i.e. better than the original.

[@tuscarorawoodworks4713]

Loved how to remembered to hit the China during the double bass during the last verse. Super cool!

[@joshsteffen]

I'm glad you knew. ;)

[@River739]

Last verse of this song has always been my favorite because of the double bass!

[@pix-can-fix643]

The double bass has healed years of scars in my heart

[@joetroutt7425]

I think what stands out about Metallica among all the other thrash bands at the time was how expertly crafted the arrangements were.

[@hbledzep8]

it was all absolutely brilliant but particularly at around 2:10 was metal grove drumming bliss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks!

Josh Steffen, where are You from?

Wisconsin, USA

[@davidbrian5005]

Josh Steffen Let me tell you that you're simply awesome. You nailed it as always. Cheers from Argentina /,,/, (Perhaps you could listen some of Hermética)

[@justametalhead625]

MY FAVORITE FUCKING SONG!!!!

[@pantera89]

+JustAMetalHead yes, it is the best song on Master to me...\m/...

[@DrJones-cs6qr]

+Morbid Angel Agreed.

[@ethanbarc]

Lars is a professional at his drumming skills so talented and he’s still got it

[@bruceprophet8367]

It saddens me that Lars can't play most of the older stuff live now. I knew Damage Inc had cool drum fills. Excellent job dude

[@MrHmmmph]

insane double bass work

[@DethronerX]

dude what? this is fucking perfect!!!

[@joshsteffen]

Yeah it's hard as hell! that's why I haven't done Angel of Death, etc yet - need more time to practice. And yeah I only do heels up. I never thought heels down would provide power so I never considered trying. You have any info on heels down?

[@yeetfeet1878]

No I do heels up as well I agree it does provide more power.

[@joetroutt7425]

Triggers if you play heels down.

[@bachyutt]

What some people have called here "cocky" I call joy of playing.

[@jasonlandis2106]

*whispers* were Damage incorporated

[@yeetfeet1878]

Whenever I play this song on drums I always say damage Incorporated. 😆

[@jasonlandis2106]

@@yeetfeet1878 bro sameee

[@badumtss3067]

Is Damage Inc's double bass at the end at the same speed as Dyers Eve's? I'm starting to see similarities

[@joshsteffen]

Pretty much.

[@soakedbearrd]

Ive always thought both songs had similarities. People talk about dyers eve but rarely mention this song

[@soakedbearrd]

No I get that, more much intricacies.

[@herpderpinson6117]

According to online tabs, Damage Inc is 190 bpm and Dyers Eve is 195 bpm... although granted Metallica aren’t exactly known for their time keeping so yeah basically the same

[@hyperbiscuit2284]

There's about a 5 bpm difference, but Dyer's Eve is technically faster. Though I believe that My Apocalypse is actually the fastest.

[@lucasjonsson3753]

How the fuck can you only have 50 000~ subscribers? You should have twice as many with the talent you got! Im a huge fan of yours!!! Love your covers, never stop delivering!!!!

I'm not ready to dive into Rush yet. That's a huge commitment mentally. Great suggestion!

Yeah I was pretty tired.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

I got tired just watching it lol. Good job bro.

[@dyerseve45]

I'm going to find the 16 people who thumbed this down and systematically remove their thumbs. Awesome cover dude. The guitar riff at the 2:00 mark is one of my all time favorite Hetfield licks.

[@Voyager-sn92]

I know I’m late, but this is actually Kirk’s

[@luckysixteen9361]

People who shit on Lars drumming either 1) don't play drums. Or 2) They have never tried composing drums to a song.

[@kindnick58]

That was so good! They were amazing back then

[@xKisukeX96]

Lars is super underrated. This stupid "Lars sucks" meme is getting on my nerves. Yea he got lazy during the late 90s. But during the 80s and early 90s this guy was a MONSTER. Not only playing those tracks but composing them, jesus. And to be fair, I think he really played well the last couple years 2017-2019 they played live before corona hit. And next to him playing well, he is a genius creating pretty much every song together with Hetfield after cliff passed away, just look up their making offs. Its funny how most people absolute adore your covers but keep hating on Lars "he never was even decent", its not like Lars came up with that drumming and played those tracks live like a beast during the 80s/early 90s. Btw Killllller cover dude, I reaaaaly hope you are playing live with a band, would be a shame if you dont!

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks dude \m/

[@nachocavallocarbonell1863]

Watching your Metallica drum covers made me appreciate a LOT more what Lars did with the band over the years. Cheers!

[@rupert916]

Your drum sound through those mics is very well done dude 👍

[@joshsteffen]

Awesome dude! It would sound better if I got around to buying sticks. I'm playing with 2 different length and style stick with a nylon tip broke off of one. Sucks!
