A groundbreaking album for metal, ahead of it's time despite the bad production and non existent bass. Lars pioneered the style and sound of metal drumming for years to come, to be solely judged on the latter part of his career is utterly unfair. Despite all the negatively regarding Metallica nobody has ever come close to taking their place in History and never will.
As a drummer Lars was my first influence. I happened to luck out and catch him right when AJFA came out and WOW! The people that trash him are thinking purely of the Black album, Load and Reload albums. And whatever the hell that snare was on Saint Anger. But these "critics" must never have heard Whiplash, Fight Fire with Fire, Creeping Death, Call of Chtulu, Battery, Damage Inc. Master of Puppets, Orion, Dyer's Eve, One, Harvester of Sorrow. All masterpieces of drumming.
I think the production _could_ have been different (not automatically better) if they wanted it to be different. You can listen to a random snippet and know instantly which album it is. And it’s a Masterpiece. The „ missing bass“ was imo because of the songwriting in general. It’s clearly there where it was needed and was forced out of the way more or less in moments when huge guitar riffs didn’t leave enough space for it. I listened to the album very often - back then and today and never thought I would like it better if the bass was louder in the mix. Absurd debate imo.
@@robertschererx Listen to And Justice For Jason. You will see what a difference those bass tracks made. ESPECIALLY Blackened. It was like hearing that song for the first time. Even though I have heard it a hundred thousand times before. Definitely worth a listen if you haven't already.
@@steves6756 yeah I know it and some more. I listened to the remixes when I first noticed the whole debate to get a clue what is going on. Technically it’s brilliant, but to me it’s just not right anymore and feels like overdone in the other direction. Sort of. Imagine what magic must have been happening when such complex and long songs come out in the end. I think James and Lars weren’t ready yet to give Jason the right spot in the whole thing and ended up focusing on their own stuff to make it work even without any bass in most situations. Anyway- it is what it is and I love it as it is because it’s the whole story and circumstances behind it that came together, so it’s probably not a simple mixing accident…
Same. I always liked two things; one, the snare drum (especially on One, that shit sounded like a whole ass MACHINE GUN 🤘🤘🤘) and the noise and sudden inclusion of the double bass drums which also kick ass.
Kick-ass shit for me as well (ass well? To lift up a bucketful of crap?). Would be fun to hear your version of Dyer's Eve, instead of a 1on1 cover. Creativity, metal, sex.
My favorite Metallica song. Yeah Lars ain't that good anymore but when AJFA came out, there was nothing like it. Nobody had brought the drums up front and made them as much a part of the music as the guitars and vocals til Lars did in Justice. This album changed metal and drumming for me. Everybody hates on Lars now but I'll always love the guy for what he meant to me coming up as a drummer and this album in particular.
With bass turned up on my computer....wife said it sounded like an earthquake downstairs......and then I realized....it was good. Who knew Marty Friedman could kick ass on the drums. Well done!
All over the internet, there isnt a single proper cover of the song Disciple by Slayer despite it being one of the most insane works of Bostaph. Even Josh Steffen hasnt covered it, Angel of death and war ensemble. Request from my side, plz do Disciple.
@@masterapurv Totally agree. I love Bostaph's drumming. Diabolus In Musica is really overlooked album too. Some of the drumming is off the charts. Really nice natural sound too.
I've played Metallica on guitar for 30 years Dude you are spot on!!! I've always been critical of all my drummers in bands To bad we dont live in the same city
With all the crazy drummers that there are today, I think people forget that the drummer is supoosed to be the back bone of the music. They are supoosed to keep the groove together. Lars has always been good at serving the song, this one in particular. Each strike of the cymbal is calculated and has purpose. He stays in the pocket and keeps the song moving forward.
I love your smile when doing those clean single hand quad strokes on the toms as accents. I don't know if it was first try or you're just glad that the final shoot still came out that clean but I felt it too. You deserve way more respect than you get because beyond the gimmicky videos and funny memes you actually work on your drumming and it's something only other drummers can see. You work on speed, power, creativity and consistency on all parts. It seems like content creation forces the challenge but the challenge was already there to begin with and this is a release. I'm a big fan because of the work ethic more than the drumming and that's to say that your drumming is top 15 in metal drumming nowadays. I'd have a hard time naming a band you couldn't fill in for with 2 weeks notice
I think this is the hardest METALLICA song to cover on drums. Toughest section starts @ 5:08 imho... I don't think Lars ever duplicated this live, even before they removed it entirely from their live version.
My wife asked me to turn this down....I did not. I got none later on......it was so worth it. By far one of the best covers and love the sound of your trap even if it is triggered! Im/
Lars was often no1 or no2 on voters lists for metal drummer of the year in magazines between 86-90. It's just, younger people - whose history restricts to post birth of internet - have no clue of Ulrich's drumming status.
That little break down right around 3 minutes is just one of the nastiest things ever devised by humans. Same thing with the chugging riffs during kirks solo. Fantastic job m8 and I love to see someone really love the song and put as much energy as you did!
Best Metallica song ever!!! There will never be a Metallica album as good as ...and justice for all! Who ever listen to that album willl get a Metallica fan for life
So far the most accurate rendition of the original i've seen on TH-cam, nothing too crazy was added and the foot pattern was almost identical which is something a lot of other great covers lack. Love your videos dude.
If you want something long and fast try Art of Life by X Japan.. Would probably be your longest cover (30 minutes or something like 20-25 minutes without the piano parts) :D
@@NoName-kh4yq 1 year late lol, it was fine, not very long though, about 7 or so pages, we were talking about "art" and how the purpose of some art pieces are to send a message, so my essay was about how and justice for all was not only a sick metal album but also tries to send a message about justice and the problems with it in America (for all I know)
at 3:18 you nailed it perfect the super fast bass drums the sextuplets . awesome. congrats. you kick ass. and lars is still good. playing drums to fast heavy metal is not easy

Lars played drums on the album. However each song is cut and pasted together. Lars didn't play any of the songs full live in the studio. Also Bob Rock wasn't with the producer yet. He first produced them back 1991 when the Black Album was released

Very good job. You kept the 'required' fills and added some of your own flair. Great drum sound as well. This is the tone that should have been used for And Justice for All.. Good job!
That kick sound is ridiculously amazing
Away from Deception its called triggers
Away from Deception Click drum. It's supposed to be a bass drum, but it sounds like a typewriter or firecrackers.
Or popcorn popping.
hmpz36911 haaa typewriter, now I can't unhear that. I still think it sounds great tho
realy don't like this kick sample... to high maybe
Lars's drumming on Justice was incredibly modern for '88, soundwise and musically.
Unfortunately his drums were mixed way better on Master of Puppets and Ride The Lightning.

I disagree because I may go for the overrated One drum fill
Hype it up some more why don't you
@@GageHeibeck Was about to post the same thing. Really cool fill then a badass riff to follow!

Could be.. The drumming on this album is kind of complex or different to what lars played at the time
Doug Whitton Doubt it.
Nope. It's 100 percent Ulrich, throughout the album. Hmm, maybe Bob Rock played drums on Dyers...
Lars played drums on the album. However each song is cut and pasted together. Lars didn't play any of the songs full live in the studio. Also Bob Rock wasn't with the producer yet. He first produced them back 1991 when the Black Album was released

metfan4l yup, btw ty for that documentary u uploaded last night it was good watch
What a cop-out excuse. There are plenty of old timers who still kick ass at drumming.
The Drummer from Iron maiden has been even before lars... still kicks ass.
Very good job. You kept the 'required' fills and added some of your own flair. Great drum sound as well. This is the tone that should have been used for And Justice for All.. Good job!
how to forget when lars use steroids just to make ajfa
Amazing playing and energy 🤘That's what it's all about.
wheres the bass? ha ha
This drum cover is just perfect, i have no words for it....
3:39 Lars's only great fill
That face you made right before the drums kick in, I make the same face every time I hear this song. good work.
Lars WAS good.
In Justice for all, there is when he did alot of copy paste.
Damn, HUGE thanks for this drum cover! I`ve enjoyed it for hundred times.
Keep it up, man
best intro song for any metallica album imo....🤘🏼🤘🏼 keep rocking bro
And justice for all . The best album of Metallica !!!
The coolest thing about this clip is when you switched to riding with your left on the hats. That was awesome.
Until now the best blackened cover I've ever heard.
YES! MOTHER Effin YES !! This is how it's done! This is what I expect from a drummer to to play behind me. On point, sir!
Its so nice listening to metellica with a drummer that that can exually drum. Thank!
AJFA is my favorite drum to album... thanks samus this reminded me of the good days when lars was a monster drummer and composer.
