No he didn't fit in perfectly. Live he did, even James said that, but on a personal level he never fit in. On a song writing level he never fit in. His biggest contribution was that he connected with fans. Lars wanted to fire Jason early on because they did not get along, but management wouldn't let him. Rob is a much better fit with the band, just not with the fans. Rob is really chill and easy to get along with, where Jason's super serious nature wasn't a fit with Metallica's goofy, prankster nature.

[@kylebatteson9572]

​@@mattlovesdrums25Typical misinformed comment as usual. Sure Dave is also a control freak, but at the same time just wanted members that were professional and committed in their conduct and participation while in the band. The only people he seemed to have issues with were those from the early days up until Nick. Junior decided to go after Dave legally and lost badly because of pride, after which he was always on thin ice. The others left because of creative differences, not wanting to constantly tour, and family related issues. Marty played with them recently and you could see him and Dave were still good friends, with Marty being happy with how well Megadeth was doing. Dirk has said he's happy in the band, and you can see how doors have opened for him as he's a popular guest on drumeo now.

if he didn't leave then Megadeth would never have been formed.

[@Krysdavar]

We might have had a bunch of Megadeth songs that were on Metallica albums instead. Pretty tough to see James singing some of those songs, but it may have happened. Another band would have been in the "Big Four" as well. If they ended up doing that. There's a treasure trove of alternate things that might have happened. Another Example - I always like to think about what would have happened if Kurt Cobain didn't die. Foo Fighters wouldn't exist, but I think that Dave (Grohl) would have left the band later anyways, because he is a creative machine. Nirvana would have eventually held him back anyways IMO.

Those instances are great PR for Lars, who often shafts Dave again shortly afterward. One example was in the video.

And what about the ones who do have money? Shouldn’t they help support their favourite Artist by buying their music? This was the issue Lars tackled. If Napster and people, who have money and are profiting from artists’ music, can go around doing whatever they want with it without the behest of the people who made them, then what future is their any artist to make a living out of this? This wasn’t just about Lars, it was about All musicians and artist in general. Dave failed to acknowledge this stance that is shared by people like him. Sure, he and Metallica are well off. But what about smaller bands, or up and coming bands? That’s why people like Lars, who had the biggest platform out of all them, could tackle this issue and make it a widespread for everyone to know, including the government. Not to mention it’s within artist rights to do what they will with their creation and property, which is what Napster took away from them. Lars and others like Dr. Dre had every right to sue.

Lars seriously makes his Drumming more scrutinized and judged because of how arrogant and pretentious he is about practically everything.. just look how insecure and jealous he was when he couldn’t play the show in Europe and Dave Lombardo and Joey Jordison sat in and played the entire set, Lars has almost little to no respect to be decent enough and just be thankful that these two masters allowed his band to play an important Show for their fans and instead moans and groans in an interview how upset he feels, In all fairness he’s right to feel upset and inferior because he isn’t near those Two’s playing abilities and I wouldn’t be surprised if he cried after watching the performance the first time, Lars understands he is far beneath Dave but watching Joey who is even Smaller than He is completely pound and shred the heads off his own kit with little effort and dramatically more Power truly should have humbled his big mouth for once..

@@FruityHachi This sounds like what you’ve learned from major label documentaries or something.

I can tell you with certainty that this is supposed to be an added bonus to your income, not the primary income. Often it’s just enough to get you through tour gassing up your V6 over and over while driving huge distances in the U.S. Safe to say you go back to work at your regular job as soon as you get home. It’s not uniquely my story, it’s thousands of active and current bands story. As for ads or soundtracks paying the bills for 4-6 musicians in a rock band, good luck.
