He maintains a quite perfect 89-90 bpm throughout this clip and even keeps it during the odd time tom breaks, but I think basic facts are not important when it is about hating lars
Yes they always get fun live because is the thing they love to do, and all spectators and band connect, i never hated Lars and live is really nice as you can see xD and he was going to give the drumstick to some guy was repling for it and he walks in front of me, i touch Lars right shoulder Lol
I can only imagine that pure adrenaline rush! 😎😎 I’ve played dozens of shows before as a drummer! The most I’ve playing in front of was like 400 people and they weren’t even there for us, My heart was jumping out of my chest so I couldn’t even imagine this!!!!!
I can relate. Recently I, played the first show where the crowd was actually taking interest in my band. And it was so much more fun and easier to play
Everyone here giving Lars shit for his drumming but it needs to be pointed out that he's not out of time here, there's just a slight delay between what's coming out of the speakers that's been processed and the actual live sound of the drums that the camera is picking up. I have first hand experience with this. I seen Metallica at Slane Castle in the pit and the sound was great but as soon as they came out for the encore on the walkway where they were within spitting distance of me I could hear both the actual live drums right in front of me as well as coming out through the P.A. and there was a slight delay. Not to mention I have a background in sound engineering and a small delay is to be expected, especially if what you're hearing coming out of the PA has to account for travel around a stadium (depending on where you are in relation to any particular line arrays or what have you.) That's why it sounds so out of time from the guitars here. The phone camera is only picking up the live drums in front of him but the guitars are being heard after going through the desk and out through the P.A. Not to mention also having a lot of reverb rom the stadium on top of them. I'm not here defending Lars, but it's important to note from a technical standpoint why this sounds "out of time."
Есть много видео где профи разбирают его партии и те кто в теме, понимают, что он реально хороший. Создаётся только одно впечатление, что он стал заложником своих ранних работ, до того момента, когда решил упростить свои ударные. Он сам себе задрал планку. Но для меня он всегда лучший, потому как этот симбиоз с Джеймсом никто не превзойдёт. Как Керк, кто бы не пытался заменить его соло в песнях, все они звучат конкретно нелепо. Это симбиоз 4х человек. И я счастлив, что в свою юность я познакомился с их творчеством и до сих пор являюсь их фанатом
you got to love the energy lars puts in his drumming even the 4/4 beat.. its just great to watch, great showmanship... you can watch all the technical drummers where everything is triggered to death... but it never just gives me goosebumps than a lars drumming part... it's the total package, not only the fasts DB bmp...
You should check out Gavin Harrison if you want to know what actual musical drumming is. Not that Lars doesn't have his place in the Metal hall of gods, because he does, but he is cocky, arrogant and actually has a hard time Keeping straight time. Most of the album stuff from years prior, he can't even play. In contrast, There is a video of Neil Peart wherein he is playing Subdivisions, but the video is from a 2015 show, and the audio is the studio audio from '82 that was on the record ( th-cam.com/video/l3T-9wCVQPw/w-d-xo.html ). They perfectly line up and he didn't miss a single fucking note. THAT is consistency. Lars doesn't even play Metallica consistently...
Ya'll gotta realize what you're most hearing is the acoustics of the drums against the Guitars coming out of the PA SPEAKERS. It sounds like he's rushing but he's right on time we're just hearing the sound of the physical drums from the kit directly rather than the speakers like everyone else. He ain't the best but hes doing perfectly fine here
Yeah he’s playing in time with the click track and the guitars are coming back- out of time -because they are reflecting off the roof etc before this iPhone records it
Sorry that’s not what is happening. What many are referring to is his lack of control or discipline with the tempo within each bar. People that have a grasp of musical time are understandably frustrated listening to a performance like this. Nonetheless, I love Metallica too and Lars is a huge part of their sound.
Meu respeito a Lars, ele é e sempre será o baterista do Metallica, porque sem Lars não é o Metallica, vida longa ao Lars e a banda Metallica que está há décadas na estrada levando seu Rock para o mundo. Brazil 🇧🇷 loves Metallica 🤘🤜🤛👏👏👏
When you record drum so close with your I Phone and the music from the PA in the background. Do you have the impression that the drum is not syncronized? This is called sound delay. Lars hears the click through his in-ear monitoring and the sound is syncronized to the front .Everyone who thinks he doesn't play in sync has never been on a big stage.😁
What an amazing perspective! This is simply spectacular visually ... so fun. I'm not so sure how good the subs hit right there ... as typically the bottom end is steered away from the stage/mics. But the legend, Big Mick Hughes, is FOH engineer for Metallica, and Meyer Sound, pursue extreme measures for the finest high impact sound. But this up close experience would be just killer either way, ... what a perspective. Great video
It's so bizarre, there are so many comments saying 'anyone who is being critical of Lars is just a jealous hater' yet if you were to go to any of Danny Carey's TH-cam videos there is nothing but admiration. So clearly people don't hate because they're jealous.
The world is a strange place where too many people give Lars Ulrich lessons about how to play drums. He's a monster. A musician is not just a music player, he is also a composer and an arrangement maker. Lars is half soul of Metallica
Couple friends were tight to the stage in Detroit, they said he struggled throughout the show. At times the whole band was watching him closely so they could stay in synch with him, because he was so far off.
I wish I could find more videos of just Lars playing as he's fun to watch and it's easier to learn his drum tracks in seeing how he does it from start to finish. Thank you for this video!
@@theremain9299 fair point. Often it comes down to luck and hard work. But Lars does have decent skills and an excellent song aesthetic. Also stadium touring requires something from a drummer that few ever gets to appreciate.
Ability as a drummer aside, I like that prior to Metallica Lars used to reportedly undertake pilgrimages to Birmingham in the UK (my own home town) to watch some of the early heavy metal bands of the 80's play at 'Digbeth Civic Hall'. Titans of the genre like Budgie and Tygers of Pan Tang. I do hope that's true... 🙂
Mario Duplantier - Lars is a genius...(his) drumming is so special, particularly the way he writes those patterns. Even now I think he’s the best showman drummer in the world Mike Portnoy - Lars' drumming was groundbreaking...I can’t state how important he is to drumming and the metal world in general George Kollias - I have a GREAT respect for Lars, i think he and Metallica changed Metal and this is why Lars has made pretty much everyone from my generation to pick up the sticks Tomas Haake - Lars was such an integral part of what made Metallica. They were a completely new animal. It was actually quite technical for the time, if you listen to Kill ‘Em All or Ride The Lightning the work he does on that is very innovative. So you have to give him his props These are quotes from just some of the drummers considered elite in terms of technical ability who have praised/appreciated Lars' playing and ability. Does any of it contradict the fact that Lars can be lazy or keep poor timing at times? Heck no. But if you're only focusing on that aspect, you're missing the forest for the trees. Remember, Music is first and foremost, Art. Not a science, not an athletic competition, Art.
Cool video! That's his raw drum set before going through the PA (they use a shit ton of processing on his drums when you hear their produced live videos) and you are hearing the reverberation of James voice and the guitars, so that's what is possibly making the timing seem out. I don't even think they use real amplification on stage anymore, I believe it's all through the PA and in ear monitoring.
It’s almost like his white ArtStars with black rims but yellow this time. So vibrant! I could not play a kit like this as I tend to like warmer wood finishes but this thing is almost as good as Vinnie Colaiuta’s Gretsch kits from around 2000.
The reason why it sounds like he’s off time is because you’re hearing the drums up close and then the guitars are coming over the house PA and the sound is echoing IN A FUCKING STADIUM. There’s always a slight sound delay because sound generally rises up. If there’s was an actual mic’d 4x12 stack on stage next to the drums, it would sound normal. Use some common sense if you can find any.
@@yesfratbknowin1631well mainly it's the latency between the venue speakers and the live kit. But you know better of course😂 not saying his fills here are great, in my opinion he plays too many fills and should take a listen to the studio version because that has amazing fills. Feel & timing wise, it's pretty consistent though... If we're arguing about a measure lagging or pushing here and there maybe you shouldn't go to live concerts that aren't on clicks... Personally I think he's doing ok, but could tighten up a few of his parts
I say to people who have a hate on for Lars cos he isn't as falshie or has carzy stick tricks, look at this man play he plays with heart and passion for not only the drums but for the pure entertainment and give us fans 40+ years of Heavy Metal Maddnes 🤘
I don't know... I preffer the white kit that he's uses in 1994 (When he's began to uses this configuration)... The yellow ain't be a metal color... Reminds me to Stryper.
@@josemojicaperez4436 I was JUST gonna say, that one is my fav too. That white TAMA Granstar kit from the early 90 is where it's at. Those booming toms. My first real kit was a '91 Tama Rockstar DX, and If I could find it and buy it back, I 110% would.
Now I missed his Orange and his purple drum kit but now it's the Yellow kit with the black Snare that's cool. I thought he was gonna use his Black Album drum kit like in the Lux Æterna video but I guess not. But yeah I really missed his Orange and the Purple drum kit.
Concidering that Lars is from Nebula 543 in the Qwarigon constellation and perceps time 0,9785 of a hundred of a second faster than anyone else that doesnt make him play out of tempo. The recording microphone does.
The guy pays no attention to what he's even playing. He just plays whatever he wants and Metallica is good enough to make it work. The entire band is flawless, except for Lars. Can he play anything exactly like he does on the album? Like literally every band ever? No 2 takes are the same for Lars. The fills start and end whenever he wants. Lol. Its wild.
Don't think Kirk Hammet is flawless, it would be nice if he could let the wahwah rest for a while. All solos are a constant wahwah jerkoff nowadays, and it is simply to much.
Lol at all the people saying he's off beat in this video, you're hearing the reverb of being in a massive arena. It's best to be farther away at arena shows if you want a good audio experience. He's got in-ear monitors and hears the rest of the band in real time, you are only hearing him in real time.
@@KyleJPie10What are you talking about, just literally click count with the video and you can immediately tell he's off. Let alone drumming to a completely different track around 2:35 😂
Yeah dude, this video is right next to him and he’s still off. Plus on the records. That argument ain’t gonna get you too far. He’s iconic, and he may be the best drummer for Metallica, but that doesn’t mean he’s a great drummer.
He is an entertainer through and through. As a metal drummer myself, I can play more technical, but I could never match his energy. Or those parts (writing them)… he is a legend.
Not only is Lars MetallicA's drummer but he's also the in-house arranger. Some of their biggest songs/riffs wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for Lars. I never take anyone seriously if they like to talk shit about Lars.
Love Lars nod to the guy in the beginning who’s in the Air Force. I’m Army currently deployed in the Middle East, got tickets for the M72 tour, hoping I can catch these guys at Sofi when I get back 🥲
@@monkswhiskers3354 I dont wanna be a professional musician so no Im not jealous, if anything, Im glad Im not as bad as he is. Money, Fame or not, him being in a famous band doesnt mean he is the reason its famous...
For all those who are throwing shit at lars out of ignorance: The drums will always be heard a little before the instruments coming out of the speakers, you can check dozens of videos where the drummer is being recorded and I can tell you that it is always the same. Don't be naive.
mains, monitors, in ears .latency, echo, delay, reverb... No matter what aspect of live sound technology taking consideration Lars is still goes off tempo, and plays out of time.
Music isn’t a contest. Music is art. Art is subjective. That band worked hard on their art. P.S. I’m not really a fan of Metallica but I certainly respect what they were able to accomplish.
Not defending him, but there seems to be a lot of delay between the audio through the PA, and him hitting the drums ... he'll be hearing it in nearer time through his in ears ... I think its always going to sound out of time here because you're hearing the drums before you hear the rest of the music ... that may be throwing him off aswell, who knows. These stupid stages they play on are not conducive to playing well, if they set up like a normal band on a normal stage it would be tighter....he also is a better drummer in his head than he is with his hands and feet.... this is classic drummer who never practices expecting to still be able to play like he played 30-40 years ago...
Amazing showman. Great song arranger. Good drummer when he wants to be.....his improvising and lack of discipline ruins his performances but oh well still the best band ever
@@lexdipadova5098 Thank you sir. He ruins certain songs for me, like Sanitarium and Nothing Else Matters, with constant improvising and overplaying. I wish he played like he did at Woodstock 99 and that time period, it was tasteful and solid

Lifetime is not enough for Lars😅
The Tom’s sound amazing
Love him or hate him, say he sucks at his craft; he’s the drummer of Metallica and you’re not.
The best answer ever!!!
He doesn’t suck at his craft, it’s just his craft is managing a band, as opposed to keeping time in a band.
Yeah. Never tell somebody how to play their own songs. Especially when they are wildly successful.
He is an entertainer through and through. As a metal drummer myself, I can play more technical, but I could never match his energy. Or those parts (writing them)… he is a legend.
ok....him giving out the sticks was REALLY cool.
lars`s drumming is sad but true
Amen
I don't get it, whats wrong with it?
This is fucking Rad !! Lars kicking ass and hell yes to the US AF \m/
In a recent interview Lars said he dropped about 20 lbs getting in shape for this tour.
Love the way he checks out if cameraman enjoys it
I gotta save up to see them in NY/NJ
Do it
Those are the longest sticks I've ever seen
Short arms need long sticks
It's lars who is small. Makes the sticks look bigger.
Best drummer on this stage. I'm pretty sure.
Pretty sure his drum tech is wayyyyyy better.
Imagine being one of the most legendary musicians of all time and being forced to read comments from fucked musicians on Instagram and TH-cam lol
Lars legendary drummer? LoL.
Awesome job!!
Not only is Lars MetallicA's drummer but he's also the in-house arranger. Some of their biggest songs/riffs wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for Lars. I never take anyone seriously if they like to talk shit about Lars.
Tempo is like the ocean.
When I started playing drums, I learned by playing Metallica songs..... Whatever that means.
You know you're a crappy drummer when you need to have a butt-kicker strapped to the bottom of your drum throne so you can play in tempo.
well spotted.
Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Can’t wait to see them in Dallas in August.
Is he the best drummer ever?....No, is he a sick ass drummer and an absolute legend? You bet your ass.
So are the other 3 just absolute masters of constantly adjusting to Lars' inconsistent tempos?
James is the metro in this band. Lars is there just for sound effects.
2:34 Damn, wtf was that fill? Yikes.💀
Yeah that was a rough one lmao
Its perfectly in time. tapa a 4/4 under it. its kind of nutty syncopation but it works!
2:35 pretty good fill from Lars
Also the new kit(s) are fn awesome, I want one 😂
@@jcollins_ 🤓
Great to hear the natural drum sound!
Love Lars nod to the guy in the beginning who’s in the Air Force. I’m Army currently deployed in the Middle East, got tickets for the M72 tour, hoping I can catch these guys at Sofi when I get back 🥲
To all his haters. He’s the drummer in Metallica, and you’re not.
and he's the worst drummer in all Metallica ! ask James and Kirk !
What even is your point?
@@matthewprather189 My point is there are a lot of bitter and jealous people in the world.
@@monkswhiskers3354 I dont wanna be a professional musician so no Im not jealous, if anything, Im glad Im not as bad as he is. Money, Fame or not, him being in a famous band doesnt mean he is the reason its famous...
@@bottomtext251 got some bad news for you child -> it is one of the main reasons.
2:36
Oh christ,this is hilarious 😂
The best !! Lars is a killer drummer with personality, attitude and passion for amazing music! Nails the pocket each and every time!
Envious doesn't even come close!!
Honestly hope everyone had a great time!
For all those who are throwing shit at lars out of ignorance: The drums will always be heard a little before the instruments coming out of the speakers, you can check dozens of videos where the drummer is being recorded and I can tell you that it is always the same. Don't be naive.
As an example, go see Kai Hahto's drumcams with Nightwish, it's always the same, but then in the mix it all sounds good.
mains, monitors, in ears .latency, echo, delay, reverb... No matter what aspect of live sound technology taking consideration Lars is still goes off tempo, and plays out of time.
Music isn’t a contest. Music is art. Art is subjective. That band worked hard on their art. P.S. I’m not really a fan of Metallica but I certainly respect what they were able to accomplish.
@@Shmeeby9411I am
When you have told anyone you are military in 5 minutes….
How is this related?
Да Ларс красавчик, кто бы что не говорил!!!! Металлика - это кайф!
great video , thank you ….I love seeing anything Metallica related
sad but true
I Miss the Legendary White Drums Set
Not defending him, but there seems to be a lot of delay between the audio through the PA, and him hitting the drums ... he'll be hearing it in nearer time through his in ears ... I think its always going to sound out of time here because you're hearing the drums before you hear the rest of the music ... that may be throwing him off aswell, who knows. These stupid stages they play on are not conducive to playing well, if they set up like a normal band on a normal stage it would be tighter....he also is a better drummer in his head than he is with his hands and feet.... this is classic drummer who never practices expecting to still be able to play like he played 30-40 years ago...
He's monitoring the band on time through his earphones. It's a must.
@@Texturas75Lars is, but this video is hearing stuff from multiple times
Great video. I’ve always wondered if his lips get chapped.
I love you Lars❤❤❤❤❤
did these comments forget about lars drums in the 80s and 90s? Hes just getting old and doesnt practice lol
Give 'em credit. They've been playing live since they were 18.... 40 years ago.
Longevity kids, respect it.
Someone gave him Ritsu's kit, lmao.
In all seriousness tho, yellow looks good on drums.
💯% love Lars Ulrich 🇩🇰 💯% love Metallica 🖤🤘💯% hilsen fra Danmark 🇩🇰🤘
Someone should tell James that Lombardo is available
Lars is a drummer
nah really I thought he played violin
So so
Amazing showman. Great song arranger. Good drummer when he wants to be.....his improvising and lack of discipline ruins his performances but oh well still the best band ever
Best and nicest way to put it
@@lexdipadova5098 Thank you sir. He ruins certain songs for me, like Sanitarium and Nothing Else Matters, with constant improvising and overplaying. I wish he played like he did at Woodstock 99 and that time period, it was tasteful and solid
