Inviting someone form the audience to play drums on a Metallica show is actually quite brilliant. At the best case scenario, the audience member gives a good show and at worst the audience member is better than Lars.

[@jamesthatguy6896]

It wouldn't be worst case if they found a better drummer from the audience, they'd finally have a decent drummer. Lars has lost a few steps since ...And Justice.

[@calinbaciu1846]

@@angelusapatridahd5852 sure but can he actually play better than lars? the guy has been with metallica for decades, recording countless songs and doing shows after shows. let’s be realistic here. he’s a world class drummer in one of the most influential metal bands out there. he’s not a flashy player and at times I myself am underwhelmed but maybe metallica wouldn’t be the same without him.

[@angelusapatridahd5852]

​@@calinbaciu1846KingHorse888i just wrote a comment in support of the guy in the video, I don't think it's to analyze if he was able to keep the tempo or if his presence was flat. I explained to you why that happened, and it's because he was nervous. Lars is one of the most important and influential drummers in the history of metal, yes, we all know that, he just tried to show his respect to that boy, who at 13 years old has had the balls to play with Metallica. Obviously to say that he is better than Lars is to go too far, that now he doesn't play like in the 80s doesn't mean he doesn't know how to play, but I take it more as a compliment to the boy.

People are arguing about the kid in the comments but to be honest, he really wasn't that bad. The tempo may have been a bit fast but it slowed down towards the end (or at least I it slow down), though it still may be a bit out of pace. The band members didn't really seem to care anyway.
