‘One/Entersandman’ by METALLICA (Live at Download Festival 2023)

Apex stage at Download Festival 2023
(10.06.23)
* Amazing last 2 songs of their 2nd gig at this festival

[@felipemotorhead]

That's exactly how I play One on the drums at home, I can say I play it correctly now

[@Salvamachine]

i'm sure You play it better 🤗 🤪

Sound like a mixing desk issue not just random drum kicks not being picked up, but silent toms.

Absolutely brilliant. I was there for their first set - the energy they've got is incredible. This is making me wish i'd been there for their 2nd set too...

[@Armageddaz]

Their first set was the better set, by the second night, I just felt that they didn't have their heart in it. It was incredibly disappointing if you're being objective about it.

[@MrMbb911]

That was epic I must say!! Great video and incredible set by Metallica 🔥🤘😀

[@PaulyStax]

I think the actual reason everyone seems to think it's fixed is because most likely the Mic on the second kick drum was not coming through the mains. Perhaps the channel was muted or something at the board. So in editing the for the video the track was there but it wasn't sent out through the main house speakers, although it was recorded. That would be my educated guess. Hence, the triplets sound weird because you aren't hearing them only some of the hits from on of the kicks. So basically a sound related problem.

[@infinitemind8974]

No, the real problem is that I will guarantee you that Lars has spent zero time practicing a dotted quarter or eigth note syncopation against a metronome. Bless the guys in his band for putting up with him turning the count upside down and inside out. And most of the fans are wasted and not musicians so everyone is able to pretend it's no big deal. But as a drummer I am not fooled. In fact I've been fired from gigs for less. Lars is lucky. For some reason he never had to put in any solid work and it shows. But he was still able to be part of a very popular band. Oh well, that's life.

There are still some pretty bad timing issues lol

[@SteveShawBHUD]

That drumming though.

[@locsbcn]

One… 😂😂😂 double bass massacre!!

[@benderocks788]

Absolute nonsense bass drums in the middle part, did Lars break an ankle and can't play or something? This is beyond terrible. To call it a massacre is appropriate somehow...

[@locsbcn]

@@benderocks788 I’ve seen Metallica 3 times and each time they played one Lars played this part like this 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

So glad I saw them back in the day when One was a new song. Donington 91 if I recall. Sounds really tired and the drumming is shocking. Lots of guitar mistakes too. 😢

[@benderocks788]

@@locsbcn Ha haha! And why is it that he doesn't do something creative like playing the fast part on the floor tom instead? At least it would be tight and fill the current bass drum void/massacre... Creativity is not his thing I guest, or when he does it just goes south like those nonsense drum fills attacks he gets out of nowhere. YT has lots of vids of these nonsensical outbursts...

[@bear2001]

Lars can do the double bass part without too much effort (not to say he doesn't fuck it up from time to time) watch him on Howard Stern!... I'm unsure if he did fuck up or whether the mic dropped out on his LH bass drum? Or a mixture of both. I'm still trying to figure it out, but it definitely sounds like a technical issue also. Guess we need some folk who were there to speak up.

[@Armageddaz]

[@Thekings4life76]

​@@mattwattz9237 Yeah, i noticed that too. He actually comes into the song too early too, which was weird. I was in the crowd and the drums sounded awesome all night though. He does do the the double kick, trust me.

[@yusegabr]

Obviously he had sound issues, mic on one of the kick drums kept cutting out. Therefore throwing the rest of the band off as well. Seen that happen before. You can tell at the start of the tune.

[@boldcityanthony]

No dude, Lars is Faking those doubles in the One breakdown. He is seriously that bad

saw them 3 times in my life, everytime the same. like i say: the worst pro drummer in history. i mean, if you practice seriously and just got a little talent you will play that at the age of 16... he still cant play it after 30(?) yrs😂

[@77898]

🤘

[@rocafella142]

I wonder more if something happened. Like one of his kick pedals detached from the kick drum, and he was doing it with one foot. It sounds more like that may have happened instead of him fucking up. Because his kick drum pattern is off from what he normally plays the entire time.

[@andylyon3859]

Crazy I was stood on the left and you could not hear the solo to One at all

[@irvsstella]

My two complaints, its not loud enough, and I'm not there 😢

[@yugiohRockers12]

Anyone else notice when the song goes double time, lars' double peddle action is really sloppy. Go and listen to the official upload of this same live show and hear how they touched It up to sound perfect. Not really complaining just surprised they would bother doing it to live shows.

[@Ticonderous1]

Lars has struggled with One for years now..the internet is full of videos..but this is truly his worst showing of this epic song for sure ...sorry dude but the ears dont lie ...

[@sydhamelin1265]

Yeah, I'm seeing people battle back and forth about how it's the microphones, and no, he hasn't been able to play this cleanly for decades. He was even on Howard Stern showing how he played it, and he was flubbing it there as well, albeit not nearly this bad.

[@BR_L1nx]

@@sydhamelin1265 It was the mics tho... I was there, at the front. You could hear them, really quiet, but you could. Download's sound engineer messed up multiple times in other songs as well.

[@sydhamelin1265]

@@BR_L1nx I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but bad mics wouldn't, and couldn't replicate what we're hearing here. Technically, it's an impossibility. Also, the mics were working fine up until that point, and they worked fine all through Enter Sandman. Furthermore, you can actually hear Lars flubbing the double bass by doing what's called flamming. A flam is two hits in quick succession, which he does during the double bass part in One. That's a blatant flub, and it's the result of his 2nd bass drum hitting way too close to his first one - which happens when you're not in control of what you're doing. Also, even front row, you're not hearing the acoustic drums, you're hearing the PA, and most likely what threw you off was hearing the bass guitar hitting in time, which it is. The band carries that part and compensates. But again, smoking gun on this is that the microphones were working fine the whole time, so the idea that they broke for ONE specific part, that he NOTORIOUSLY can't play? No. I'd suggest going back and watching other live videos of him playing One, anytime from the late 90s up until today, and you'll see - he just can't play it with consistency. Some nights he gets it, others he flubs it. He's out of shape.

[@music-dt7hm]

them kicks on one. you can tell he was working on them. you can tell he got Czarcie Kopyto pedals and really pushed himself. This crowd reaction tells it all. Go lars!

This is recorded on a mobile phone, that's why. Great as any phone footage may be, it won't pick up the detail and the power of the live sound. Metallica are releasing the audio from both nights if you want to buy it.

[@Armageddaz]

I've seen Metallica a few times, massive fan, have their 'and Justice for All' album cover TATTOOED on my arm. They were WEAK. Very, very disappointing. For those saying it was good, it was objectively not. I'm really saddened, but honestly, we need to actually be honest here - this was NOT their best set, at all - the worst I've ever seen. Let's hope it's better next time... (edit) just to add, it's mostly Lars I'm referring to here. He let the boys down. Everything else was solid.

[@rogedoge223]

[@yourmetalsister2958]

Totally agree. I was there and yes I've watched some of the fan footage that's online. A guy in front of me kept holding his phone up and filming it which blocked my view. But I mostly feel for the bands. All they see looking out is a static audience and a sea of phones instead of people dancing/moshing and enjoying their music. I don't know what the answer is, I don't think banning them is an option.
