Its crazy how stitched together these songs were. you hear it in the isos

[@Polentaccio]

Still less than now where you can snap to grid and add/subtract individual hits vs piecing together diff sections.

[@elroyblackbean]

I believe you, but I'm listening and can't hear them. Can you point out any glaringly obvious spots?

[@Pilot_the_Dune]

@@elroyblackbean Virtually every snare hit is identical. The whole album is like this. The engineer said there are millions of splices and edits on just the drums. So much so that the original isos are probably useless after all these years. The tape splicing is Grade A.

[@DenSvartaStjarnan]

@@Pilot_the_Dune Well, to be fair, the snare hits are usually replaced by or blended with samples on metal recordings.

[@Pilot_the_Dune]

@Den Svarta Stjärnan Yeah. I do it. Back then it was all done on tape. The amount of cuts is crazy.

[@myringains]

The description mentions that Lars drums begin at 0:37. It's my obligation to clarify that it's not Lars' drums which begin, but rather the composition of multiple drums takes put together by famous engineer/mixer Steve Thompson. You see, by saying Lars' drums, one may assume that Lars did a continuous take, like normal drummers would do in the studio. In the case of Lars however, he plays chunks of the song dozens of times, until he comes up with a decent take. Then all those good takes are combined to make up a drum mix. This is not me saying this, this is directly from Steve Thompson himself, who used "hundreds of tapes" to mix the drums of Justice.

[@willharry6835]

Lmao this is irrelevant as Lars has played this live. Watch Seattle 89. Your attempt at discrediting him is laughable at best. Piecing things together in the studio is something fairly common I believe and it’s done to get the absolute best parts.

[@myringains]

@@willharry6835Well, why don't you learn what mixer Steve Thompson, you know, the MIXER of the freaking record, has to say about working with Lars? Cause it ain't pretty holmes. It ain't pretty I tell you!

[@ericcarterofthehillpeople]

@@willharry6835 Thank you. I'm not saying Lars is the greatest drummer who ever lived, or even the greatest metal drummer, but it's as though people have dedicated their lives to trashing the man.

[@willharry6835]

@@ericcarterofthehillpeople Lots of people on the internet like bashing him and it’s honestly really puzzling. Obviously there’s way better drummers out there from a techno standpoint, but Lars in his prime during the 80s, was truly one of the very best imo. I seriously believe that in the 80s Lars could go toe to toe with a guy like Dave Lombardo in terms of thrash metal drumming. People just need to watch his live performances in Canada 1986 and/or Seattle 1989. Obviously he’s seriously declined since then, but to act like Lars was a complete scrub, is definitely being disingenuous.

[@JNC1973]

Someone else already mentioned what I was thinking that hes played this song lots of times live in concert so he clearly is capable of playing what we hear on the album right? Whether you like him or not doesn't really matter. Everyone will have their own opinions which is fine. I think Lars is awesome when it comes to that heavy double bass drum action! 🤯🤘🥁

[@Jakevrana]

EJ22 as I was told, and I agree, Metallica is riff drivin instead of drum drivin...... metallica is the riff masters of the universe, Lars let’s the riff drive the music and he’s just the time keeper.

[@MeBallerman]

There is/was NOTHING wrong with Lars' drumming - he just became the victim of haters due to his Napster law suit. He fought against pirating music - and lost a battle that could not be won. There was an agreement, or whatever. And then thousands, if not millions of people suddenly started hating him, and claimed he couldn't play drums, nothing more about it. But of course, Lars is one Hell of a drummer, proved himself throughout the decades.

[@justmax234]

@@MeBallerman people say, that lars is a bad drummer, because he changes the tempo all the time when they are playing live. Usually a good drummer holds the tempo, while Lars goes faster or slower in some parts. And uses too much fills where they dont belong.

[@Phike9391]

As a fellow drummer ..he can be really lazy...he isn't some amazing great drummer but this album was his best imo n I saw a quote from him saying people think you need to be in a drum olympics or something to be good..n you def don't...he fits Metallica n the songs great n that's all that matters

[@mattw4461]

People jump on bandwagons everyday of the week. Mostly losers who are bitter about their place in life and or elitist snobs who think they're superior for "reasons". Lars isn't the worlds best drummer but was pretty solid and was instrumental when it came to song arrangements. Also a very intelligent business man. Metallica wouldn't likely have become as successful without him making decisions and pushing the band.

[@tnondillo]

What ws the editor used to isolate the track ? Can it be done to any song? any format? I`d like to hear so many diff things from them...

[@kiboko_drummer]

I do not isolate the tracks. I use multitracks. Any audio editor is suitable for mixing. I use Audacity.

[@THEESHITSHOW]

i hate how your always coy about how you get these drum multitracks. it's misleading. audacity doesn't many anything without having access to the actual solo'd drum multitracks. just be honest for fuck's sake and understand what people are asking. how do you get these multitracks bc it's not software that allows you to get these isolated tracks.

[@plazima]

@@3xplisit that’s not sloppiness it’s a kick pattern, if you listen to dyers eve drums only you will hear the same thing. If that is unbelievable for you heres a different prospective, Lars recorded 100+ takes for each part of the song so it wouldn’t make sense for every part of the drums to be imperfect

[@3xplisit]

@@plazima dude it’s sloppy i don’t know what to tell ya lmao Watch or listen to anyone else cover it and you’ll here the difference A swing kick pattern can still be consistent and tight You can hear him anticipate the next beat and it sounds a little off But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter cause it sat well in the mix It’s just jarring hearing it isolated like that

[@joshnemec3688]

Lars gets all the hate because of Napster. Yes, he gets sloppy playing live. He's been playing the same songs for 40 years. This band tours more than just about anyone. Who wouldn't change it up a little? Lars is a bit of a d-bag, but, Metallica's drummer is awesome.
