Lars is no guitar player. He doesn't speak guitar lingo, but through grunts, rough sign language, and body language, he manages to find a common language with everyone in the room. As shown in the other "Making of the X Album" DVDs, Lars is very hands-on throughout the entire process. Very cool.

[@Nizzon.]

Yep. I wonder how the songs would turn out these days if he let the others worry about the guitars and focus more on his drumming.

[@empreme]

If Lars had only focused on his drumming Metallica would have died out a long time ago.

[@empreme]

+Le Tigidou You’re wrong; it’s not off topic. Burn Blister uses guitar communication as an example but then says, “Lars is very hands-on throughout the entire process.” What right don’t I have to take “entire process” to mean the entire album making process? Lars sees the big picture; he often has the vision that the others don’t. That covers every aspect of the process including, as you say, “What’s good or bad on guitar.” Sorry, James’ and Kirk’s guitar playing ideas are subject to the greater Metallica vision which, as demonstrated in just about every Metallica documentary ever, Lars typically has a better grip on. Therefore, if Lars had abandoned that and just “focused more on his drumming”, then a major source of vision for the band would have been lost. That same vision which has caused them to be such a dominant force in metal music.

He's... yeah. His personality would end up with him getting a black eye around me, but I appreciate that kind of passion is needed for writing.

[@panther7681]

Yep, he is the guy that people will always hate and make fun of, but he is the smartest one in the band. When Cliff passed away, James just slowly turned into a mess until he got himself sober and deal with grieves. Without Lars, the band would probably died with Cliff, but don't think Cliff would want that. I love the friendships between James Cliff Lars Kirk; they are the real four horsemen. And I hate when so called fans bash on any of them especially Lars, who is the only extrovert one; outspoken but he speaks what he thinks, and that is admirable.

[@TheButcher83]

wrappedupinemotion It's incredible that people always have to talk badly about Larsˋ's drumming abilities and skills. First, it was Lars who founded Metallica. And Lars has given Metallica the sound Metallica should have and he is a fantastic song writer. He became known as a pioneer in fast thrash metal drum beats and later known through his popularity and drum technique (the double-major drum beat in song One) and many do not respect him today as a good drummer because the way he plays as he was very popular in the 80's you don't play that much anymore.

Even though firing Bob as producer was probably for the best, they should've kept him as an engineer. You can criticize his influence on the band, but he knew how to make the music sound crystal clear. I like the rawness of Kill 'Em All, the spaciousness of Ride The Lightning and MOP, and I honestly don't mind the flatness of AJFA, but the Black Album, Load and Reload have excellent tone and crystal clear layering. In my opinion, Death Magnetic is an excellent album but the engineering is sub-par and the mix is too loud.

[@deceiver444]

I watched the video to try to understand how they managed to fuck up the sound of the record before mastering as somehow stated by Ted Jensen himself (senior mastering engineer at Sterling Sound) who had to master an already brickwalled mix that has become a milestone in that sickening loudness war.

[@jonathanevans3677]

This album is a damn masterpiece -- riffs, time signature, ferocity, melody -- it's all here. It's an extraordinary output of creativity. I can't believe I actually think this, but I think it's their best album ever -- and yes, I realize that will be a minority opinion. I bought master of puppets in high school, and I think this tops it song for song. As for the recording process, good lord, I'm not a sound engineer. I just turn the damn thing up and let it rock. It rocks.

[@philipkenakin7804]

Hardwired? came out 2016??

[@philipgonzalez6153]

Kirks solos on death magnetic where sOOoooooo better than hardwired.

[@PiazzaGurl]

Philip Gonzalez that's because he didn't really have an input for hardwired. Kirk did the solos and riffs according to what James and Lars were telling him. Watch the Hardwired doc. Kirk comes in way later trying to learn riffs. As much as I love James. He and Lars just took over production of the new album. With slight inputs from Robert, nearly zero from Kirk. It's an eye opener as to who called the shots and who had the vision. But hey, it worked out. Album is great (I think). Next album the whole crew gets a piece.

[@xxFABRI56xx]

Kirk made too good solos in dm like Judas Kiss, The Day, All nightmare or his best solo for me since Load, The unforgiven 3, that its a very amazing solo, and in hardwired have few solos that are good and none is amazing

[@SaintAwirote]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@d00mnoodle]

Yes but halo on fire is undeniably one of his best solos. So much feel to it and the buildup is great. Spit out the bone has some amazing guitar work too, it's my favorite song of hardwired followed by halo on fire and atlas rise.

[@d00mnoodle]

@sadsadsa asadasd one of his best. There's beauty in simplicity not everything has to be like ride the lightning.

[@IronPriest82]

It's their band, they've brought me great joy, nobody can take anything away from them especially those first 4 albums. It's their band they can choose to put out what they want. As a fan I will always be thankful for the music they put out in the past. Only thing I'll say is that they don't seem like a metal band anymore, they are more of a hard rock/rock and roll band.

really cool seeing kirk do his warm up before recording 4:04 first thing my guitar teacher taught me down pick, up pick, and up and down pick for every note on the guitar forward and backward. from fret 1 to whatever your guitar goes to you do that every time you sit down to play to a metronome and you're muscles and hand eye co ordination are unstoppable. makes me wanna buy another electric I was never that fast and accurate tho XD

I think it's really such a great thing that metallica records and makes videos like this available for everyone in the world who wants to , to watch for free , very very few other bands out there have shown this level of appreciation towards their fans in this manor.

[@Mybuzzkillmick]

By far the best album since justice. I know the black album was supposed to be this pivotal moment for tallica but it really never did anything for me. To follow up a master piece like justice it had no balls or core emotions. This is the comeback long overdue. Thanks guys. And from the bottom of my heart... its about fucking time!

[@SaintJorge304]

I have just recently rekindled my passion for this band. I had never seen this video. When St. Anger came out, I was in the Army serving in Iraq during the invasion of 03' and I hated that album. I hated the lyrics, I hated the "extra home garage grundge" sound of it and mostly I hated the fact that there basically no solos. I am an agent of change, but only when it's good. As much as I love K'EA, RTL, MOP, AJFA & TBA. In my opinion, their best work by a long shot has always been Load and Reload. Lyrically, James has never been so mature and dynamically, those 2 albums are majestic in every sense. Now at 33, I can truly say my favorite Metallica song of all time is "Ronnie". I bought DM about a year and a half ago and I think musically, it is an awesome piece of work, but, lyrically, I don't know what the hell James is thinking. It's like after Load and Reload, he forgot how to relate to his audience or has lost so many brain cells at this point that he just can't write! At the end of it all, they have had beyond an outstanding career and I still look up to them now that I am following my dreams in music! Their music was there for me as a kid when I needed it and for that, I am eternally grateful. Long live MEfuckin'TALLICA!

[@jeffwads6158]

Load and Reload were merely okay. Death Magnetic is easily the best since Justice.

[@kanesevenfoot]

Trying to bring them down means that you are only trying to make yourself look better. if you think you're better please.. Make 10 selling albums, try to sing while playing guitar, show Lars you are a better drummer than him, etc. you guys seriously need to grow some fucking nuts and appreciate the music the people put out for you to ENJOY.

For those of who complain about the digital compression issue, do what I did: go buy the fucking vinyl version of the release. It's a double, and sounds amazing.

[@benbrownjr.7626]

If you have a newer turntable or are in the market for one, Newmark makes a quality product at a very good and affordable price. It also has jacks and inputs for recording direct to digital, and the very simple software that comes bundled is easy to use. That's how I digitally own it, and I can crank it very loud without heavy distortion.
