A wishful thinking shared by many. But ain't gonna happen. These guys can't write another good thrash album anymore, they changed like everyone does. Sadly they playing it safe and will release a Death Magnetic alike album probably with Rick Rubin on board.
MudPucket Yeah exactly. It's sad to watch them pretend they still are. I'm sure they can easily produce a good solid heavy rock album but it's clear why they don't go that way.
Looking back, I feel that Hardwired was a really solid metal album that did show movement back to the heavier stuff, spit out the bone probably their best song in the past 25 years
FR was the fifth band member on the early albums. After hearing black I would not buy another album unless FR produced it. Still waiting for that reunion.
I wonder if he was one of Larz's contacta from Denmark? Its true this guys is a wicked producer! I mean holly fawk! those albums had awesome production! I also love the sound of the drums on master. some people dont.
Well Flemming told that they only learned that he was from Denmark while working with him. Also considering Flemming was Lars' drum technician for a while, its no wonder his drumsound was good.
Lars was better in late 80's than now . Yet now he plays better again adapted to his conditions . I give credits when its due. And 2019 - today . Lars upped his again on a decent level . But i would say 1985 -1994 was when Lars have something .
ride the lightning, ese disco con flemming y grabado en dinamarca en el invierno, tiene toda esa vibra es un disco frío y complejo lo mejor de metallica
Im always interested to hear about the making of classic Metallica albums. Flemming worked on three albums with Metallica, Ride, Master and Justice and all three are on my top five list of Metallica albums.
each producer has brought their own talent to Metallica ... its all evolution. There is only different tones of Metallica, not a better or worse Metallica. One can grow or not, along with them in their sound. There's no right or wrong. We're each different in what we access and illuminate. We all resonate for different reasons at different times, and so Metallica IS, and we each are ... and some of us will prefer some and not prefer other parts of their musical journey. Flemming is not who I imagined. I thought he was a Dane, for one! With that name, i pictured a Lars compatriot ... and maybe he is? I'm no expert. But it's cool to hear him talk about his part of the Metallica story. Cheers to all Metallica fans everywhere
Lightning was recorded in the spring 1984 in 2 sessions as they played in UK between recordings. Puppets was recorded in the fall of of 1985 and winther.
What people fail to understand is that Metallica will never truly be able to reproduce the first 3 albums. Cliff is gone and he was a HUGE influence on how the band wrote, played and thought. Plus, they're HUMAN. You can't spend 30 years on a linear path, writing the SAME music year after year and stay fresh. Would you want to to the exact same thing every day at work for 30 years? Hell no. That's why they've been able to stay together this long. They've been free to explore what THEY want to play. They're artists. As much as you might want, you can force them to write what YOU want to hear. I for one like everything they've done (except the snare on St Anger) yeah its different, but it's all GOOD
Yeah..never cared about videos for MTV until they completely sold out in 1991 and attempted to release 5 music videos off one album. A damn good album, but still. Wish they'd work with Flemming again.
these three albums that he produced happen to be the absolute best three albums they ever did. They should have stuck with Flemming. He brought out the best sounds in Metallica. Bob Rock ruined the Metallica sound forever.
Bob rock didn't ruin shit. He made the black album sound fat and heavy as fuck and you're in denial if you think otherwise. That albums production was vastly superior to their first 4 albums.
Nicolas Villamil Please....that album is so freakin polished and overproduced. Where do you get heavy as hell. That album was way over produced. Yeah and Bob rock did screw up the Metallica sound. It ain't no where near heavy as hell.
Flemming Rasmussen,Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine,they're The responsible of Metallica's 80's epic records and masterpieces yeah and James And Lars a little bit too
Tony Thrash yes I agree with the other guy, Flemming Cliff and Dave were important I give you that but James and Lars are the heart and soul of Metallica, without those two there's not Metallica period
It was Ron McGovney, the majestic black guitarist Lloyd Grant & the presidency of Ronald Reagan that are responsible of Metallica's 80's epic records and masterpieces!!!! ;-P
I think we just need to let metallica go. They we're once the "Mighty Met" now theyre the "Ridiculous 4" . The magic will never happen again with them. Not even on the new album.
They have nothing left to prove. They've already made their mark on the world when they were young. People don't need to let them go, what they need to do is stop giving them unnecessary shit.
It went down hill starting from the black album. Also it was downhill from James' voice starting from 1987-1988 because that was the period he mourned Cliff so he just decided to yell his lungs out. It was good he stopped that because he could have damaged his voice doing that any longer. If you hear the vocal track on Garage days revisited or Justice you can hear him clearing his throat often. In about 1993 is where he started losing his voice. Maybe if Cliff had not died maybe they would not have changed to Bob Rock for the Black Album, go more grunge on Load and Reload, Alternative-ish on St. Anger, As well as the Drop C tuning, trash can snare, and no solos on St. Anger. Maybe if Cliff had not died maybe the rest of the albums after Master of Puppets would still have they're Thrash Roots.
+Cody McNair NO THEY FUCKING SOLD OUT WHEN THEY FORMED THE BAND. FOCK LARS HE IS DOUCHE , WORST DRUMMER EVER , THEY SOLD OUT WHEN THEY RELEASED THE FIRST ALBUM.
Robin Dreier Let's hope he's a kid and has no clue. Because that is a stupid fucking statement. I guess Greg Popovich shouldn't get credit because he never rebounded to Ginobli. Dummy!
@@jasonfisher3823 Bob Rock is actually very good, Metallica themselves wanted a change after touring on the And Justice For All with 9 minute long songs and a bit too complex that touring wasn't as enjoyable, so they wanted to make a Touring Album, Bob Rock adjusted himself to the sound they wanted and introduced them to a new style of recording tracks. Rasmussen wouldn't have made much of a difference either when their both paid by Metallica to record their material in the best possible production available by budget. The quality of Black Album was excellent, if you don't like the songs, then blame Metallica for that.

Metallica should really go back with this guy.
+CarcPazu Fuck yeah!!!!
OpenWide Yes! And go to a grimy, shady studio somewhere in Scandinavia, in a Death Metal haven. Go to some underground metal shows at the local scene.
So True
New album is fantastic.
i've heard they are bringing him back
followed this band for 30 years and first time seen this guy! Never even seen a picture of him before. Awesome!
Same here. and I am at about the 35 year point as a fan myself. Love all 3 albums this guy did....and had never seen him before.
Flemming should produce all their albums from here on.
He deserves a place in rock and roll hall of fame
Especially because of mop
Flemming Rasmussen is my favorite producer if I ever make an Thrash Metal album I'm hiring him.
No more Bob Rock, or Rick Rubin. Metallica never put out better stuff than with this guy. Legend!
This is the guy they need to produce their next album and possibly get them back on track.
A wishful thinking shared by many. But ain't gonna happen. These guys can't write another good thrash album anymore, they changed like everyone does. Sadly they playing it safe and will release a Death Magnetic alike album probably with Rick Rubin on board.
Papatorrejano Sad but true. They're much older and richer. What do they have to be pissed off about anymore?
MudPucket Yeah exactly. It's sad to watch them pretend they still are. I'm sure they can easily produce a good solid heavy rock album but it's clear why they don't go that way.
Looking back, I feel that Hardwired was a really solid metal album that did show movement back to the heavier stuff, spit out the bone probably their best song in the past 25 years
Thanks so much for interviewing this guy! Flemming is the 5th Metallica member. I'd always wanted this guy to be heard
fatkidinabucket don't forget Dave and Cliff
he did one Morbid Angel album too i believe, Covenant
He did
Please Metallica return to this producer
+Gusano Cuantico Yea) I think before 91 they were best
Oh man, I would give so much to hear Metallica X Flemming Rasmussen again...
Seems like a really cool guy.
FR was the fifth band member on the early albums. After hearing black I would not buy another album unless FR produced it. Still waiting for that reunion.
Hes really good. It would be nice to see them colab again do a EP or something.
I wonder if he was one of Larz's contacta from Denmark? Its true this guys is a wicked producer! I mean holly fawk! those albums had awesome production! I also love the sound of the drums on master. some people dont.
Well Flemming told that they only learned that he was from Denmark while working with him. Also considering Flemming was Lars' drum technician for a while, its no wonder his drumsound was good.
growing up i pictured flemming as some dark long haired wildman .
Well he probably was back then
They're best producer ever
3:09 - "They weren't as skilled as they are now". Really? God damn! To hell with skillfulness then! Bring old, unskilled Metallica back!
tarchalin he’s probably only referring to Lars
they really weren't
they had more aggression but they are way better players today
Lars was better in late 80's than now .
Yet now he plays better again adapted to his conditions .
I give credits when its due.
And 2019 - today .
Lars upped his again on a decent level .
But i would say 1985 -1994 was when Lars have something .
ride the lightning, ese disco con flemming y grabado en dinamarca en el invierno, tiene toda esa vibra es un disco frío y complejo lo mejor de metallica
Si a eso le añades que es casi un disco conceptual sobre la muerte en sus distintas formas, encaja aún más.
2:22 how true that turned out to be. Still one of the best classic metal albums of all time.
Im always interested to hear about the making of classic Metallica albums. Flemming worked on three albums with Metallica, Ride, Master and Justice and all three are on my top five list of Metallica albums.
They are the three best Metallica albums to me.
Flemming is the man.

My man speaking facts
He is indeed Danish
Flemming Rasmussen is a Dane and live around 20 kilometres from where Lars Ulrich´s childhood home were.
All I am asking is for Metallica to record one more album with Flemming. I really feel that it would be one of the greatest things they would ever do.
It would definetely be a good last album concept, an album send off concept
Lightning was recorded in the spring 1984 in 2 sessions as they played in UK between recordings. Puppets was recorded in the fall of of 1985 and winther.
+Anders Jørgensen It's always winter in Denmark.
+ryanexsus not like it used to be
His accent and lars accent are same
Maybe because they're both Danish? 🤔

After Flemming heard the finished product in AJFA, he said, WHERE THE F..K IS THE BASS?
Like Peller's "WHERE'S THE BEEF?"🥩
love that guy!!
Per me, i migliori album dei metallica li Ha prodotti questo uomo, non Rock! Ha reso M.o.P. un capolavoro assoluto.
Check out Warfect lastest album by Fleming . He kick ass
hes the best producer to make their albums no Bob rock!
MASTERpiece.
que vuelvan a hacer un disco con
Flemming Rasmussen
Talking about "Ride The Lightning" playing "Master Of Puppets" in the back ground? 🤔
I think you mean *30th* anniversary there.
"They didn't make any videos because they didn't care-that was not important to them" ha wow
Yeah..never cared about videos for MTV until they completely sold out in 1991 and attempted to release 5 music videos off one album. A damn good album, but still. Wish they'd work with Flemming again.
these three albums that he produced happen to be the absolute best three albums they ever did. They should have stuck with Flemming. He brought out the best sounds in Metallica. Bob Rock ruined the Metallica sound forever.
LONE WOLF1
but the black album tone kills justice and puppets
Infinity
The black album tone is at most better than justice. It's vastly inferior to ride and master. Excessive polish is not the key...
Bob rock didn't ruin shit. He made the black album sound fat and heavy as fuck and you're in denial if you think otherwise. That albums production was vastly superior to their first 4 albums.
Nicolas Villamil Please....that album is so freakin polished and overproduced. Where do you get heavy as hell. That album was way over produced. Yeah and Bob rock did screw up the Metallica sound. It ain't no where near heavy as hell.
Nicolas Villamil They need to retire and stop while they are ahead.
COVENANT.
Hmmh. Lars nailed One double-bass in one take? Wow.
In fact all the double bass of the.album
He's gotta be pissed...
He made Metallica what they were, up to the self titled (black) album
where is Flemming now days? Come on Met-lads...
Flemming Rasmussen,Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine,they're The responsible of Metallica's 80's epic records and masterpieces yeah and James And Lars a little bit too
Tony Thrash Lars and James are the 80% of Metallica
Tony Thrash yes I agree with the other guy, Flemming Cliff and Dave were important I give you that but James and Lars are the heart and soul of Metallica, without those two there's not Metallica period
It was Ron McGovney, the majestic black guitarist Lloyd Grant & the presidency of Ronald Reagan that are responsible of Metallica's 80's epic records and masterpieces!!!! ;-P
dave only deserves some credit for kill em all, he has virtually nothing to do with any other albums besides a riff or two on RTL
Jared Strickland 90% Of Ktulu and 50% of Ride the Lighting
I think we just need to let metallica go. They we're once the "Mighty Met" now theyre the "Ridiculous 4" . The magic will never happen again with them. Not even on the new album.
sad, but true man...
They have nothing left to prove. They've already made their mark on the world when they were young. People don't need to let them go, what they need to do is stop giving them unnecessary shit.
Well y'all go ahead and do that, and move on to Justin Bieber. I'll stick to Metallica..

LONE WOLF1
No way. I've enjoyed most of their output. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they should pack it up.
4:42 Kirk doing this makes me cringe.
it went all downhill from puppets.
this.
It went down hill starting from the black album. Also it was downhill from James' voice starting from 1987-1988 because that was the period he mourned Cliff so he just decided to yell his lungs out. It was good he stopped that because he could have damaged his voice doing that any longer. If you hear the vocal track on Garage days revisited or Justice you can hear him clearing his throat often.

>it went all downhill from puppets.
Fuckin A. They've put out plenty of good stuff since then, but Puppets was the peak.

You're not really aware of how a producer works are you?
