FINALLY!!! Someone gets it! It's nice to finally see someone that pays enough attention to the smaller details that make the song. This guy knows how to lay ease off the hihat back beat during the verses and interlude instead of just beating the crap out of it. Bravo!
LambChopper678 Thats important. I've played with guys that don't count and always screw it up. I've sat and played it for them and they still fuck it up! Don't get me wrong I'm no big drummer, but I can play drums on any song we play.
What has always killed me about Metallica's "Black" is not the production (though Rock/Ulrich/Hetfield did a spectacular job), or the songs (though at a tight, mostly lean 62 minutes, there's not much flab at all; the arrangements are clean, and the melodies are amazing). It's the GROOVES. Lars seemed as though he really had to focus on the groove, especially for this song in particular. Any drummer can master double kick in 5/4 time. Any drummer can master a gravity blast or snare/kick/ride fill combo. What separates good drummers from legends is their mastery of the groove. Lars nailed it here. Josh, your work on this cover really, truly DOES bring out the groove.
@@drixer6596 it is the way the song makes your body move. Your face starts to wince. Your head starts to nod. Your foot starts to tap. The more they groove, the more you move.
And I did it at 15. Lars actually made me feel like I was better than I actually was. I was like, "Fuck school, if I can play this, Im gonna be a rockstar!". Sad and not true lol
Hey Josh, you are a really nice drummer. you should try Disciple by Slayer. you really should try it. that would be a big challenge, cause it's pretty difficult.
That was flawless man!! Excellent job! The drum writing on this album was brilliantly simple and so perfect and effective. Again, you nailed it! Thanks for sharing.
@@St_Mindless yeah he got annoying for me real quick. Seems like a nice guy though but damm dudee when you flip your sticks 500 timrs in every video its annoying af
Eu ouvi um comentário de um crítico musical, que o Lars Ulrich, neste disco do Metallica, o Black álbum, foi obrigado pelo produtor desta obra, a tomar aulas de bateria, pois segundo ele até então, Lars não "tocava muito bem" eu não sei... se ele não tocava bem até o Black álbum, imagine se tocasse mal? e sobre a apresentação, cara que perfeição parabéns!!!!
Dude you are the best drummer on TH-cam all of your covers blow me away and some of the fills you do are awesome there are a lot of drummers out there who can play fills and not play the song correctly but u r perfect great job. Also can u do painkiller and maybe some other Judas priest
That was fun to watch. gotta love Metallica. After watching alot of you medley vids though it looks like you're in slow motion dude. Awesome as always.
I've always loved the guitars on Master and Justice, and the drums on the Black Album!! And from the Black Album, drum wise this is, by far my favorite and Josh, you really did it by the book man. I don't play drums but if I had to learn one song, not just Metallica, this would be it!! Keep on keeping on!!
Solid! I'm glad that you kept it original actually. It's an easy song to add tricks and stuff into. It really shows how well rounded of a drummer you are, that you can go from playing something like this, to Covering Fire (:
No that was a killer song I love that song I love Metallica Of course but another flawless performance bro very good keep it up bring them all God bless you
Josh Steffen Thanks, Yeah I've seen pretty much all of your Havok covers, and you do them justice. I have a request, can you do a vid of Havok's "Worse Than War"?
FINALLY!!! Someone gets it!

Very nice, solid counting in the break lol

***** Timing is everything! The coolest shit in the world sucks if the timing is off.
Holy fuck lamb chopper. I love your vids man
Thanks mate, appreciated

+Shane Bailey ;) i know what you mean
What does groove mean? My first language isn't english, could someone explain it?

@kevin garvin the main issue with Lars arent his composition work, bit his inability to play it right live.
That fill in 4:37 is priceless, Lars is the Black album!!!!
This is the song that started it all for me. First song I learned how to play entirely, every note, every fill. Love it!
And I did it at 15. Lars actually made me feel like I was better than I actually was. I was like, "Fuck school, if I can play this, Im gonna be a rockstar!". Sad and not true lol
+Mugshot Marley Haha the truth is real
never too late to become a rockstar, don't give up man
Hey Josh, you are a really nice drummer. you should try Disciple by Slayer. you really should try it. that would be a big challenge, cause it's pretty difficult.
I always up vote anyone requesting slayer.
Not that hard. Few cool fills that are tricky.
Nah slow songs are actually harder
I love the "in your face" sound in this session. Good job man.
Its so great how i can play along with your covers with my guitar!
Il male alle braccia e alle gambe dopo aver suonato, ma la soddisfazione e la gioia nel cuore. Sensazione imbattibile. 🤘🏻🖤
That was flawless man!! Excellent job! The drum writing on this album was brilliantly simple and so perfect and effective. Again, you nailed it! Thanks for sharing.
Your hard work has payed off everything sound real good love the intensity you hit the drums with
Such a good song and such a great cover! No disappointments as usual. You are 70% of the videos I watch :D
Love the fill at 1:13. Simple but so groovy and effective.
That fill alone warmed my heart man!.. ingot gitty watching that!.. I've watched this video segment over and over trying to perfect it...
"Simple but so groovy and effective" describes all songs on black album
I love this fill
pretty good but...
needs more cowbell
Every song ever made needs more cowbell. If there is a black metal song the drummer should play the blast beats on a cowbell instead of the ride
🐄 🔔
This is amazing! Finally someone who plays it like the original recording. Thank you! 🤟👍
FINALLY, a cover from somewhere similiar version of this song on the "Cunning Stunts" concer!! Great job!!
I'm using this vid to learn this song and I've watched it an ungodly number of times at all kinds of speeds. Great performance! And thank you!
Dude ur a beast on that set, everything is spot on
0:22- 0:24 the reason we're all here
i love this
simply love this
You are GOOD!!! I love this! So talented.
Way better and heavier than coop3rdrumm3r just like Lars!
Agree!
Coop3r just kinda sucks. So many stupid fills. The guy looks like a Fortnite skin 😂😂😂
@@St_Mindless yeah he got annoying for me real quick. Seems like a nice guy though but damm dudee when you flip your sticks 500 timrs in every video its annoying af
Glad im not the only one who thinks this.. the stick flipping got so damn annoying
Josh beating the drums like they owe him money
Great cover
Omg well done so clean💪
Holly shit men!! Respect!!! You're awesome!
Best cover!!
Amazing!
Love the mean face when tripple punching the toms just shows he's really in2 the song I love it, ppl lus skillz all day bro

On the black album, I'm pretty sure they fired their good producer and hired a poppy one. The AJFA drums were too good.
I have a set of drums and I wish I had half this man's talent on the drums.
love the high hat groove @1:13
Love the intensity. On point man.
Sad but true lives from the perfect tempo. Slowly crawling, hammering, but groovy. Rarely played live this way, perfectly matched here. 👌🏻
Dude you are the best drummer on TH-cam all of your covers blow me away and some of the fills you do are awesome there are a lot of drummers out there who can play fills and not play the song correctly but u r perfect great job. Also can u do painkiller and maybe some other Judas priest

Thanks
This shit was flawless son
Great Cover , the mix was good
You nailed it dude..
0:20 solid man sounds great very in sync
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Josh, you’re my favorite of all on youtube.
i think this song has the ability to make women who like rock, get wet
It's the shaker in the background. ;)
fmjjrl1980 oh yes..it's one of my favorite songs from the band... the drums on this one are very intense.
Love this drummer's channel.
He's got great energy and style
Always loud and neat 🤘
It's cool!!! 🔥Hello from Russia 🥁
Great Cover!!
You are a great Drummer!!
The snare is spot on
Great cover man, I've been following your videos for a while, you are a total beast, keep it up!

best drum cover
Absolutely BANG ON. perfect! Nailed it completely dude!
This is one of the best if not the best Lars's piece
The greatest Metallica drummer on TH-cam.
Solid drumming, and you respect the timing perfectly...
Another suscriber
Thank you. ;)
Dude you are totally Awesome!!!!!!
Solid! I'm glad that you kept it original actually. It's an easy song to add tricks and stuff into. It really shows how well rounded of a drummer you are, that you can go from playing something like this, to Covering Fire (:
It may not be your cup of tea, but check out 311 - Cali Soca. That's another style far apart from the usual. Never thought I'd pull that one off.
Esa fue la primera canción que aprendí a tocar... Buen trabajo Josh...
another awesome drum cover
That big fill near the end that's not in the original track is it? I gotta check now lol, you're a fucking boss.
***** It starts at 4:36. Had to go back and try and decipher that one, gotta learn that fill!
***** Ok it is in the track, never realised how badass that fill sounded. Having a nice coversation with myself here lol
+Pauly Mack You are are lonely, lonely man.
You're talking to yourself...
That's some next level Loneliness...
JOSH! YOU'RE THE BEST! ALL THE BEST BRO!!
