Joy jordison interview : “A lot of people give this guy shit, but they need to shut their fucking mouths because Lars Ulrich is probably one of the best and most innovative drummers ever. I got to tour with the guy and I watched him play every night from behind the kit, and his double bass was completely on point. He’s also one of the best businessmen that keeps this type of music going; he’s the heart of the whole fucking community, because Metallica are the kings. There’ll never be anybody that will match them, and Lars is a huge, huge part of that. Without that guy, and the influence of that band, I wouldn’t even be sitting here talking to you. Lars is one of my gods and he always will be. That guy fucking rules, period. So when I got the call asking if I’d fill in for him at Download Festival, of course I knew everything because he’s one of my hugest influences. I remember playing to his shit all the time growing up and trying to be as good as him. Our technical abilities are way different but I’ll still never be as good as that guy, and getting to sit in his stool was one of the biggest fucking dreams come true. What an honour. I love that dude.”

They are genuinely having fun here! Playing the same songs night after night, month after month, year after year, each song the same way, with the same people - you can end up disengaged with the music. Having some part of that formula radically altered suddenly forces you to fully engage with it again. This is why the "unplugged" thing became popular back in the 90's, and why this is such a great set. Is it "perfect?" No, and it shouldn't be. Live music should be fresh and exciting.

Seeing this after Joey just past really hurts. He was the best drummer Metallica ever had. RIP to the GOAT 🤘

[@CoTeCiOtm]

They could have jammed Dyers Eve with Dave, now that would have been awesome! If there's a drummer out there that can nail that song is Lombardo.

[@chazzylicks488]

joey probably could have too... his double bass is insane

[@splatbats]

either one of them could have

[@TheAbsorbant]

Why? He didn't do a good job with "Battery", he flubbed almost every "BAT-TE-RY" and the intro and the part going into the bridge of Horsemen. There are plenty of drummers that could play "Dyers Eve". Tempesta, Benante, Hoglan...

[@lewisb85]

@@TheAbsorbant who were there then and there? only guy who they didnt give a chance to who could have pulled it off who was there would have been dave mcclain.

Joey fucking murdered Seek and Destroy. Even James looked over at him after the interlude/solo like "holy shit dude."

[@Disnamesucksass]

Dave drumming: here's the songs, the beat, perfection, quality drumming Joey drumming: lars is going to buy a new kit after im done

[@victorbicudo1374]

i wish there was a better audio mix for this historic concert.

[@mattmoves5920]

You can really feel a different energy flowing on that stage that night. Metallica were brutal and angry as when they were young. The audience was so fucking lucky that night to witness that event. I would pay more than the normal price of the ticket to see Metallica playing with a drummer like Dave. Lars, you can still be the manager and founder of Metallica, Please hire Dave!!!

[@arunjohnday]

14:55 holy shit, now THAT is a bass solo

[@jameshetfield5382]

Lombardo always kills it with the double bass. Holy fuck. He should replace Lars.

[@JKIbOoW]

Well what did you expect from a slayer drummer :p

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

not just the double bass. He is way better. I am not a huge Slayer-fan, but Lombardo is awesome

[@theextinctsurgeon310]

MemoryLaneCinema lombardo is much better than lars but lars is still pretty darn good, I mean dyers eve and all that other afja crap

[@jameshetfield5382]

The Extinct Surgeon​ He used to be good, not anymore. He himself said that he stopped practicing during Load and ReLoad (that's also when he reduced his drum kit to a much simpler one). Lars became a *meh* drummer after the Black Album tour ended. He replaced his ride with a china, took away two toms, took away many parts from his drum kit, stopped practicing, etc. I guess fame and fortune got to his head and he didn't care about how good he was anymore. He used to be a *KILLER* with the drums, nowadays... he's just good. 

[@theextinctsurgeon310]

David Fuller he did play dyers eve

[@richyglitched]

R.I.P. Joey. . Jammin out with Cliff & Dime on Heavens main stage.

[@trendkill3333]

You can see how happy the band was to have Joey Jordison behind the kit, finally a good drummer!

[@themastema1189]

That insane speed and precision of Mr Dave is truly worth listening to it again

[@kodyepidemic]

This should've been the set list. Battery Blackened Dyers Eve One Creeping Death St. Anger Hit The Lights Whiplash Enter Sandman

[@gyroman567]

Replace st anger with damage inc and it would be perfect

[@jareddearmond166]

XDXDXDXD has the wrong band! XD

[@friedtawilis0741]

I have the same thoughts! Haha

[@fedora997]

I know its a joke but FH has double bass as well.

[@themastema1189]

Oh yes! He knows where the real shit's at! Droogie for life!

[@yusegabr]

I was at this concert. The crowd was ready to turn nasty when we thought metallica would cancel. Was awesome seeing this, a well decent compromise. Creeping death was killer!

[@itsjoeredula7]

Just came back watching this after a long time. Already missing Joey.

[@SaGriKot]

Joey...Best of the Best!!!!!!!!! Forever🤘🤘

[@Crashbanksbuysilver]

"Metallica is feeling better than ever" Yes, that means you should be calling up Dave Lombardo and doing a little switcharoo.

[@JAV619]

That version of Creeping Death - by far my favorite Metallica song - gave me fucking chills!!

[@hopeparry9435]

Rest in piece Joey, such a sick drummer!

[@masmj3284]

Ohh boy, DAVE LOMBARDO!!! What a drummer and what a great man. RESPECT.

[@Kevinmtzg]

RIP Joey, you'll be missed!

[@IsGallefreyTaken]

5:21 just LOOK at Kirks energy during that double bass part! He’s LOVING THAT BEHIND HIM!

[@dyfon-u5k]

MEATALLICA kicks ass with dave lombardo! he is a freaking BEAST!!! they haven't sound like this since 86 when they opened for Ozzy.

[@theguywhoplaysinbands]

Or even up until the Justice album

[@BananenAlter97xD]

SlaytanicTallicaFan999 Death Magnetic...?

[@theguywhoplaysinbands]

I mean, Death Magnetic was great but the drumming wasn't top notch like older Metallica. I'd pick it though since Lars did better than he usually did. So I mean that was good drumming

[@BananenAlter97xD]

May he's too old for it? Or just can, but don't want or don't need to play even harder.

[@thereferencegide]

+Andi Wiegand there's plenty that are lars' age that can still drum well like lombardo, and if hes not doing it right only cause he doesn't feel like it thats even worse

[@jeevanfernandes8953]

Now Joey's gone this gig is even more special. Glad to of been there. R.I.P Joey Jordison

[@pattda1]

Joey with approximately 1 hour to rehearse. Amazing job, Metallica played at another level that night (a lot of energy). Drum work on Creeping Death was fantastic.

[@Miist3rDuce1]

No it doesn't it suks with different drummers

[@calxshaw06]

​@@Miist3rDuce1in fairness it's been suboptimal since Jason left. joey killed this set

[@jayeahmsgodfield2355]

Metallica get so much heavier and meaner live when the drum parts is actually played as they were recorded haha. Ending of Battery is crazy.

[@tong_levin]

A perfect solution for Metallica - Lars would be still manager but hire Lombardo on drums.

[@MrSuchar95]

Yeah. Lombaro's double bass sounds amazing. That's how Lars should play

[@russkate88]

That's how Lars used to play.

[@MB-yw3pv]

yea Lombardo KILLED Battery, especialy the end with the double bass parts

[@russkate88]

KZbin Lars performances of Battery from 1986 and he played it extremely fast, and with all the double bass parts in it. Even better than what Lombardo did here. Not that I'm discrediting his performance because he did a great job, but it was Lars' song, so he obviously knew it inside out and it showed during the live performances. Especially when Newstead first joined and they were still messed up over Cliff's death. So all those emotions came out through their music, and they just played everything faster, but even though they played faster, Lars still did all the double bass parts.

[@bruceprophet8367]

Zmiyu yes absolutely!

[@si-tj2ck]

best live performance of lars since 1994!

[@DRUMTALKRussia]

"We feel better than ever..." Yes, James, You said it yourself!))

[@synthogd808]

DRUMTALK Russia and sound better

[@BrownGuyThat]

Joey Jordison would be perfect for Metallica, his drumming compliments the songs so well and with his experience with playing guitar and bass and song writing, Joey would bring Metallica to a whole other level!

[@HussyHarryet]

Oh Joey, you absolute legend. What an amazing performance. Especially after having done their own set. I wonder what state these drummers were in when they offered to fill in short notice lol, probably half way through partying and chilling then back to work to save Metallica. I can't lie, sliptallica are the best.

[@andrewmello367]

The joy of the band without the rain cloud of lars being there is amazing to watch.

[@synthogd808]

Metallica is here and we feel better than ever. Because we have real drummers for once and double bass something we haven’t heard or had in years

[@thrashmetal00]

That Four Horsemen drum intro is fucking amazing! Dave Lombardo is the man!

[@DLTA64]

33:07 Joey be lookin around like: lel that was fun

[@1201zj]

RIP Joey. Such an amazing drummer. When they played sad but true he played it knowing every nuance of how Lars played it live. For example speeding up the fill after the 2nd solo. The random Lars fills spot on. Would be indentical, but Joey with better footwork. He was so good. He just wanted to cater to the crew with what they are used to and he did well.

[@arejaybee5591]

This was my first Metallica gig, they came on nearly 2 hours late, it was like a battlefield trying to dodge piss missiles etc, sheer mayhem and I reckon a riot was brewing but, boy, it was an epic show in the end. Lombardo on horsemen was stunning. Seen them 4 times since and this still ranks as my favourite performance.

[@MsLuigi76]

Joey always in our hearts🙏🥁💔🤟

[@alexandergg961]

Joey jordison is incredible RIP joey my favorite, the number one, how much we need

[@alperdulgerci8156]

for the the first time in their metallica careers, james, kirk and rob played with drummers who can actually keep up a steady tempo and rythm. it's clearly visible that they are loving their time together. must have felt like ''cheating on your spouse and really enjoying the mistress' sex but marriage comes first'' type of fling.

[@Miist3rDuce1]

No the drummers overplayed it it suks with different drummers

[@jvessubvotalon5082]

Best analogy right there.

[@DietMoney]

Got to appreciate James doing everything he can to make this show seem as legitimate as every other Metallica show and not a compromise. He really goes the extra mile here to make the moment feel super alive. Good showman.

[@P3rm4frost]

I think he was very grateful for all the support. After all those long days of abandoned live gigs, he feels the love so much more (it was difficult for all those times they didnt play live post 2001)

[@DietMoney]

Yeah, he has so much on his shoulders and he rises to the occasion every time. Well said.

[@paddyransom]

joey throws so much double bass into his part

[@nuuttiniemi-nikkola9200]

Even though Wherever I May Roam is a great song, I have gotten a bit tired of it over the years. Joey gave it new life and I was blown away by the ending. I understand some people might not like the "overplaying" but especially the part 50:30 - 52:35 Wow! Thank you Joey!

[@montserrat-pc9iw]

Totalmente de acuerdo, suena nueva , fresca con más energía. Y la cara de James desde creeping deaht y el resto de canciones es de auténtica satisfacción y disfrute por lo bien que suena, sin ensayar. Rip joey jordison. 😭😭
