Metallica - Making Of "Moth Into Flame"

Metallica Making Of "Moth Into Flame"
From "Hardwired...To Self-Destruct".

[@DeadGlassEyes]

James used like 800 different guitars in like the 9 minutes here.

[@dr150]

Surprised he didn't pull out a Ukelele to end the song.

[@OmarM]

DaemoniumCC well you know looking for the best guitar to record is not an easy thing, at the beginning of the video he was using a gibson for writing but later on he start using ESP's.

Including his eet fuk explorer which i havent seen in fucking ages

[@DeadGlassEyes]

[@amantedelmondo1787]

So this is how it works Lars tells James what to do, Robert just sits there and Kirk only appears for the solo. Interesting dynamic...

[@uome20bukz]

Johnny Valencia well lars is the one primarily in charge of composition and arrangements. That doesn't mean James doesn't have his say, they bounce off each other but Lars is primarily the musical arranger. James is primarily the songwriter.

[@SaGeOwL4891]

Sad but true?

[@420KUSHWIN]

Kirk comes in drunk smelling like pussy and whiskey shreds for an hour and bounces hahaha

[@Eivindjoe]

It's because Lars is a visonary, while james is a creator. That's whats make them such a good team!

[@manuelgasse]

The band is still together because there are 2 clear leaders and 2 happy followers. When you have 4 leaders/strong personalities in 1 band it usually does not go very far.

[@Umagum4]

Lars's commitment on the writing process is really admirable.

Better as a producer and should just hire a real drummer. He’s holding back this band with his amateur skills.

@A smile on my face but a Demon inside true. I think he sort feels the drums sound great simple, and doesn't really feel like he needs to be that creative with them. Some parts in hardwired were good, but overall it felt too basic

I have new respect for Lars, not as a drummer, but for putting together these incredible songs!

[@ivopranjic9976]

He's always done this. Since day one. Him and James play well off eachother

[@alexlanza79]

I was thinking the same as you, I have a great respect for Lars! I think that could be the reason why, no matter what, they were able to achieve what they did in the past 30+ years. It doesn't take a genius to understand he's not the best drummer in the planet but he's certainly a great producer and being a great musician is not only about being the best in your instrument, but it's also about the understanding of what you doing and the overall song and the arrangements etc etc! It's like in car race, the best are not the one who can drive awesome, but are the one who can "read" their car and be not only drivers, but testers as well, so that they can tell to the engeneers what to do to set the car as they feel is right and that's what Lars has been doing with James during the past 3 decades!

[@SaGeOwL4891]

True, he is kinda the glue who keeps 'tallica togheter. less talented musician compared to the others, but he can hold the creative process like no Jamez can.

[@whocares5761]

New respect? He is doing this for 35 years.

[@scotty3034]

Yeah....he's only been arranging Metallica songs for 33 years.....

I like Lars. He motivates all the band. He seems to be very warm hearted deep inside, even if he's a bit controlling. And he's drumming style is unique, the one which has influenced many and brought joy many.

[@PizzaMeeple]

The way the Lars is able to take all the riffs they compile and arrange them in his head has always been the backbone of Metallica.

[@scotty3034]

I get so tired of people throwing Lars under the bus. He'll be the first person to tell you he isn't Neil Peart. But he is a killer arranger with great instincts. As a drummer he just plays for the song which is really the only thing a good drummer should be doing anyway. And none of those classic Metallica tunes would be the same without him because he and James are responsible for piecing all of those riffs together. And he's playing better than he has in years. So...fuck off about Lars.

[@travisdykes1407]

Hell yeah, man! Finally somebody else that gives Lars some credit! I've always had great respect for him - his leadership, his vision, his arrangement capabilities, and yes, even his solid drumming. Don't need to be flashy, just solid.

[@tangoplays2547]

Mike Patton outstanding drummer, excellent composer, genius in his world...outside of his world, he just needs to learn to shut up. And yes, I'd say he's a much smoother drummer than he was in the 80s.

[@scotty3034]

TangoPlays He's always been perceived as an arrogant prick, but mostly because he is very opinionated and he was the FIRST person who had the balls to stand up against free file sharing with the whole Napster thing. He took a lot of heat for that. And a lot of fans never forgave him. And fuck those people anyway. You don't get cable or cell phones or cars or anything else for free so why should you get someone's intellectual property for free? But that's another conversation. Anyway...I first saw them in 84' (DJ's Nightclub in Colorado Springs with Lillian Axe opening) and I'll never forget after the show, the rest of the band bolted for the bus, but Lars stayed outside for about 2 hours signing stuff, taking photos and chatting with fans in the freezing cold. And he still goes out of his way to connect with fans. So like him or not or make fun of him.......Metallica wouldn't be where they are...if at all....without him.

[@Mattube1983]

amen to that, the whole 'Lars is shit' thing is getting old. its an internet fad. Lars is playing what suits the song, he is serving the song which is what every musician should be doing. Would Metallica be the same if the drums were different? no it wouldn't because that is Metallica's style.

[@shazmeister2005]

Absolutely, I can't stand drummers who over play and "show boat" during songs, it ruins them. Lars plays beats that suit and compliment the songs, so what if they aren't technically challenging. Lars has a song writing credit on pretty much every Metallica song for a reason. James comes up with the riffs but without Lars vision they are just riffs, great though some of them may be, he crafts them into a song. Kirk and it seems Robert too are happy to let them take the lead but chip in with their own tupence worth, Kirk also has some writing credits on Metallica's best songs so i don't think it's fair to say he just contributes the solo. Solos I don't think generally get a writing credit although I guess it depends on the band and how they divide stuff up.

[@warrens2022]

That sound James makes at 1:12 is so cool. Just imagine that live, totally amped-up in a stadium, and he's basically playing one string. Love it.

As a drummer, I can tell you that our goal is to keep beat and be a backbone. That doesn’t mean constantly shining like we’re the star, but as a metalhead, it’s intensity and enjoy the music we’re playing to with a passion. When Lars is more or less piecing the parts together, he listens to his “fun meter” and with the raw enthusiasm as a “kid” bangin away, it makes sense Metallica is without a doubt one of the greatest and funnest bands of all time TLDR; Lars is a little caveman and when he’s fueled by what he’s hearing, his input makes us, the listeners, have fun with the whole band like him!

Lars is the hidden genius behind it all really you know. He has an amazing knack for arrangements, dynamics, where to push and pull a track, where to let something breathe or tighten it up.

Hetfield, Burton and Mustaine / Kirk alone wouldn't cut it. Honestly.

If they wouldn't have achieved nothing without Lars, how the fuck is Mustaine still running the second greatest thrash metal band of all time, without Lars, Cliff or James to help him?

IMO James is the riff master, possibly the best there is! Fan since day one.

7:52 in the first “uouoauo” I can hear a For Whom The Bell Tolls verse

[@DieegoLpzz]

I can hear the "oooooohhhh, on I burn" from fuel

[@speedwagon9405]

I love that Cliff banner

2:55 hearing that replay though

[@bowslap]

That makes me smile....I KNEW I heard a very familiar-sounding instrument in that song. "EET FUK" just has a very distinct tone....love that beat-to-hell MX220.

4:17 HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@thrasherfan96]

Was hoping I'd see someone comment about that. The main reason why I love James as a person.

[@jessecommins4499]

Very enjoyable

That’s a badass sesh. I’m hoping to get my guitar invention to them to record.
