Metallica - The Making Of Hardwired...To Self-Destruct (2016) [Full Documentary]

All the short making of videos posted by Metallica since the album release last year put into the right order and into one single video for ultimate viewing convenience.
While I was at it I also tried some EQ-ing to balance the audio levels a little bit, so the loud parts aren't as loud and the quiet parts not as quiet...
Enjoy!

You are correct. Lars is not the best drummer in rock, but he is a master arranger and writer. That's way way more important. If Lars says it's good, it's good. That is invaluable. Without that, you have a bunch of great musicians and very few great songs -- essentially Dream Theater.

It shows just how valuable Lars is and it goes way beyond his "band management" skills and his drumming abilities. Most of the haters have 0 clue how much he means to this band absolutely 0. He's every bit as important as anyone when it comes to the writing and arrangement process, especially the ladder. Without his arrangement skills the Metallica songs we know and love would be very different and probably not as good. Just listen to the riff tapes from puppets and justice and you'll see what I mean. The songs were all jumbled before they did final arrangements.

Arranging

[@Laburnus]

Lars is good, but he sure could use a guy like Bob Rock again, to put a different perspective. After all it was Rock who forced these guys to arrange tracks on black album the way we hear them today. Especially Lars's parts could be improved. Rock would not allow these drum lines to slide.

[@goldenwolf8081]

This kind of stuff shows that without Lars there wouldn’t be no Metallica his drumming may not be the greatest a lot of times but no one can’t argue that Lars ain’t a musical genius he drummed behind dozens of the greatest metal songs ever created the hate with him really ain’t deserved

​@goldenwolf8081 I agree with you 110% most of it is the technically is everything crowd dissing on him because he isn't super technical but his style is perfect for Metallica he IS Metallica his name is literally on 99% of every Metallica song ever created.

METROIDROCKSXP98 the clarity means you can have some heavy as fuck riffs. Bands like Monuments and early Meshuggah were inspired by their technique. Obviously this is my personal opinion though. Vildhjarta's tone of 'A Thousand Evils' is one of my favourite tones.

[@roaringviking5693]

HIs guitar tone is very tame and boring nowadays. I think it is the most disappointing thing about this album. They finally managed to write som decent songs again, but then the production let them down. Compare it with Master, Justice and Black album. The guitars on those albums are extremely heavy and cool.

I don't think that Lars is a bad drummer. He's a great drummer for HIS band. But, since he never played different cover songs while learning the drums (remember that he started playing barely before he, James and Ron McGoveny got together), his drumming is limited in style. I've seen him trying to play different cover songs on the fly, and it's been horrible. He's not a guy that can sit down and jam on others people's songs. But again, for Metallica though, he's great.

Man... I just watched the Some Kind Of Monster documentary and then went on to watch this. They are all in such a better mental state here. Like night and day. Glad to see them happy again. Love this fricken album 🤘🏻☠️

[@gm2407]

You can tell Metallica get out of an album both where they are mentally and what they want from it. One sets the tone, the other the composition and arangement.

All of these guys are genuinely gifted and they have learned to work so well together it's amazing

[@dxgypsyful]

The House That Metallica Built Lars is the architect designing the structure and drawing the blueprints. James is the builder laying the foundation and creating the structure. Rob is the carpenter making all the joints match up and connections tight. Kirk is the painter and landscaper who comes in near the end and makes everything look incredible.

I wonder if that’s the original “Eet Fuk” guitar? That shits legendary

[@Michael-bm9de]

It is, he uses the EET FUK to record now, it still has its old justice sound.

[@mashedtaters]

So amazing how these guys still make great music all these years later! They really don't need the money and just do it for the love of metal I believe. Much respect and love!

[@patmartinez5045]

Watching these videos of how they make their music just makes me appreciate their craft sooo much more, mad respect these are true musicians

Hetfield writing lyrics: "I don't think I said "Yeah!" enough in this verse. Better add 15 more.

Kirk teaching Lars how to use a wha-wha is one of the best things I've ever seen

[@tensevo]

Great insights - thanks for uploading

[@botz72]

I like how James has a guitar on him while doing the vocals n uses the guitar to help find his phrasing for vocal melody lines

[@natedavid3873]

He probably finds it hard to sing without a guitar in his hands. I have the same problem when recording vocals. It just feels more natural with a guitar in the hands while singing.

[@reecejohnson3189]

I find this so awesome to watch I could actually watch this for days on end

[@ricardopinapt]

1:05:17 James still have it!

[@misada7744]

It's really nice seeing him with the old girl

[@wolfmanjason]

It's said in the comments a bunch already but I'm not sure it can really be overstated that Lars really is one hell of a writer/producer. For those of you that haven't written and produced an album with a group of people I don't know if you can appreciate what a skill it is not just to hear something and have an idea (which itself is easier said then done) but to find the way to express that idea to the performer that is effective as well. It's no small task, especially when you are not the one with a guitar in your hands.

[@DennisMHenderson]

its the "comment" that continues its lack of self-awareness & compensates with d/s. the same that it's subject holds deeply. selfserious parody, ples kontinu

[@jaimenoel9373]

People complain about Lars and simple drumming but a lot of the greatest songs came from simple drumming. When it comes to the studio and producing an album Lars is a freaking genius

[@MetalHeart8787]

and justice and many of Lars drumming is NOT simple.he's a good drummer But far from a "Genius" he suggests things that's all. any 14 year old boy watching this might think of Lars as a genius.

[@JustinLesamiz]

These videos are all run through Lars' ego anyway, so of course they're going to paint him as a genius. In reality, he's a good drummer and a shit human being.

[@treyshoes8828]

Without Lars and James, there is no metallica.

[@AMaas-si7yx]

Justin Lesamiz I met Lars, he's very kind and interested in people. Can't agree with you on that.

2:15:35 Lars is definatly not a bad drummer.

[@CWeaveLyrical]

Absolutely not. He always gets shit and I really don't get it. I've been playing drums for 21 of my 33 years and I think he's just fine. Yet people who have never drummed in their lives enjoy shitting on him. lol makes no sense and it never has to me.

[@joshuabruce9920]

@@CWeaveLyrical same dude I dont understand it. I'm 31 and have drummed off and on since I was 14, so I'm no pro but I still dont get it. Friend of mine whose opinion I respect when it comes to music said Metallica is held back by Lars and his mediocre drumming. I'm like huhhhhh? Yea dude 🤨

[@austin.goldbergWLF]

@@joshuabruce9920 same here. Been playing since I was 16, 36 now and not a pro by any means. I agree 100% that the ones shitting on Lars' drumming are people that never lifted a stick or they have and hit the hi hat twice and said, "Fuck this, I can't do this." Fucking elitist edgelord twats.

Lmao literally any 16 year old can play that beat

[@garlandfx4656]

Awesome documentary. I'm glad Metallica are back to the happy methods of making music, they seemed so messed up around the St Anger days. Glad to see them all having fun and jamming and creating!

[@matturner6890]

I really love seeing these guys enjoy themselves while creating! Really great contrast to the St. Anger documentary. And the record sounds way better for it too!! Also, dang, Lars seems to have chilled right out. Didn't realise how much of an excellent songwriter/ producer he is either. Thanks for uploading this!

2:00:18 and 2:00:46 James voice is like from old albums, like And Justice... and Black Album.

[@Balto678]

Yeah, he blew his voice out from all that growling. You can hear on the black album on some tracks where they reused some voice tracks so it would be easier on James.

[@MetaITurtle]

He can still do it, just not as often
