METALLICA - Eye of the Beholder - Drum Cover

[@hashbrownz1999]

oldschool Lars is proof that you do not need to be an absolute monster of a drummer to compliment the rest of the track astonishingly well.

[@joshsteffen]

I appreciate the sum of all parts approach as well. Drummer dick measuring is only pleasing fellow drummer dicks. ;)

[@tehagent1321]

Except old school Lars WAS a monster. He just got Lazy at the Black Album.

@CN997 Yes from A Justice For All they only play 2 or 3 songs because it is most complex Metallica album ever it's a shame that they don't play most of the song from And Justice For All because it's my favourite Metallica album

[@Samford_]

this song is ridiculously hard to sing while playing, which is why they havent played it in over 30 years

[@parkeryigit4434]

I watched an intervoew with lars the other day this is his least favoritw song. He said it sounds like they tried to hard. There are so many changes etc

[@bicylindrico]

Lars did a great job on this album. I would say his peak. Great job!

This song can never be loud enough.

I dont understand why lars said that hates this song.. Is perfect..

[@yeetfeet1878]

Yes it is an amazing song in my opinion but Lars thinks they tried to hard to be proggy. ...and justice for all is actually kind of prog metal.

This came up in my recommends. I forgot how good this song is! Wish they would play it live.

[@robertblackmore703]

Absolutely love the drums on this track. Inspired. Certain patterns of percussion unlock parts of your brain and seem to make sense in an instinctive level. Excellent performance. Well done, sir.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks a lot dude.

[@WilmaTell]

The most underrated song in the history of mankind. Perfect in everyway.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks a lot man! I never really considered suicidal yet

[@curvefeeler]

I was told by the producer of Justice that Lars recorded each drum on a separate take (and track, of course) so there would be no bleed of drums in the cymbal tracks. Great way to be set up for trying different kick parts. Killin' it, Josh!!

[@Zergei]

One of my favorite things from Justice is the rolled and rebounding kick patterns that really compliments the riffs so well, the grooves are phenomenal!

[@joshsteffen]

Try again and look in the description for a link!

[@ultimatesatisfyingrelaxing134]

(Lars about "Eye of the Beholder")"There's a song called 'Eye of the Beholder' on the 'Justice' album. Wherever I hear that song, it sounds kind of like - I guess we don't want to be super-disrespectful to it - but it sounds really forced. "It sounds like you put a square peg in a round hole. It sounds like it's got two different tempos. There's kind of a 4/4 feel in the intro and on the verses, and then I think the choruses are more like in a waltz tempo. "It literally sounds like two different worlds rubbing up against each other. It sounds very awkward to me. I'm not a huge fan of that song. "I guess the asterisk is that, to me, we did the best we could each moment. So of course, sometimes you sit down and go, 'Huh?' or, 'That could have been better,' or, 'That was a little awkward,' or, 'That feels a little silly or easy,' or, 'That feels over-thought-out,' or whatever. "It goes back to that whole thing about the past is the past, and I don't spend a long time back there. And there's not really much I can do about it. [Laughs] And honestly, I don't listen to them. I don't listen to a lot of Metallica music. "Part of it is because I'm sort of overly analytical [about the details]. It's basically almost impossible for me to listen to a Metallica song without going, 'OK, how are the sonics, how's the mix, how does the guitar sound? The vocals are too loud, the bass is too boomy.' "It becomes this exercise in analytics. When you hear your favorite band - like if I listened to Rage Against the Machine or something, I just fucking let myself go. But when Metallica comes on it's like, 'Huh?'"

[@mctwishvonnoodles9793]

Nice snare charge at 2:59. Makes the song meaner. Like someone mentioned earlier, that was some pretty deadly work at 5:32. Also like the double bass thing at 5:43, totally beats the song to shreds! Then the thing where you just go ham at 5:55 is the cherry on top. Excellent work, I wish you were my drummer

@ David Perez Two things wrong there 1.This is Metallica not slayer 2. That is someone’s opinion not yours 3.It gets the job done it doesn’t need to be any different than what it already is.

[@Mrnoobestreturns]

@@jamoss2007 well here is the thing Drums has the be the most easiest instrument for rock bands and the most annoying as well First off there difficult to go around anywhere with drummers Second off drummers can easily mess you up And third drums sounds terrible for me The only time I’m blown away from Lars is the album and justice for all because that had nearly no bass and only guitar and drums which is insanely impressive Because the drums is not designed to do what bass does The only challenges you have with the drums is tons of time signatures changes while going insanely fast Which doing a guitar solo or bass solo is 1000 times more harder than drums because guitars and bass has more tricks more skill more focus and more frets than the drums
