      Why that was so difficult is hilarious...the man has zero fear of losing his gig so this is the shit you get for 30yrs. I mean you watch what jam room shit they put out from the Black album tour and there is an air of seriousness in the room. I'm all for laughing and having a good time, that's what you are supposed to be doing but at the same time, it's hard work too. Getting a band tight for a live performance takes time, energy, and effort and he puts as little as possible in at all times.

      It's true. The thing about music is it _can_ be played in a box (cough music theory), but when you play outside of the box, more often than not you come up with something unique and new and exciting. There's nothing wrong with having an idea with how you picture your song sounding, but at least hear what your band mates would play too (ideally before you influence them with what you had in mind).

      Really, WTH? Not being a musician, is this common practice by drummers in a studio setting?
      Man, I sure don't want to be the poor slob that has to clean up that mess when he leaves! Sports outside, sure I get it used to do it playing hockey. What are you going to do, stop take off your gloves and blow your nose. But in a small studio setting to just let both barrels rip on the floor, really?
      Anyway cool vid, the blank sort of look was hilarious and James had soooo much patience that particular moment..... Don't think it was always that way of course but good for him in that moment.

      may I bring an example from the world of Korean Popular Music.. aka Kpop
      they have girl groups sometimes consisting of 5 or 7 or 9 members (sometimes even more than 12)
      and some of these so called "idols" are making millions of dollars per year
      simply cause they're good looking, young and skinny
      someone else writes their music..
      someone else choreographs their dance moves..
      and a pitch-correcting plugin sings for them..
      yet they're the ones rolling in the benjamins while the geniuses behind the scenes are back on their 9 to 5 grind
      making money.. ESPECIALLY entertaining human beings.. has never been.. or will ever be.. about talent.
      no one cares about skills if they're not entertaining.. and Lars is entertaining lol
      this is called "the entertainment busines" not "the musical business"
      hey.. at least Metallica writes their own music and sings their own songs lolol
      at least the money is SOMEWHAT earned.
      but still.. never confuse what entertains you with what you respect.. those two rarely ever mix
      and dont beat yourself up when you're being entertained by something you dont respect
      OR.. and this is the most important lesson of all..
      dont ever think the things you respect need to be entertaining!
      the best science fiction movies are the most boring ones.

      @g00k11 I understand your take. By no means, and i have not stated, i have no respect for artist. Even more so because it's not the kind of media i don't enjoy or consume. My take is because there are several videos of Metallica struggling with Lars when they try to make new music. I dont really believe that Kpop artists dont put hard work on what they do. Popularity does not defind other thing that creating something popular, whether thats casualty or a causality. To each it's own in terms of what they want. My take is that when you strive to live from what you enjoy, the logical thing would be to grow with practice and acquiring knowledge, because it will boost your craft and you as an artist. It's not a meta by any mean, it is my take and nothing more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I also think its a rare thing to find someone being logical in music.. when music affects more the emotional part of us way more..
      so when you have a band who has so many successful hits one after the other.. in the metal genre.. people tend to not want you to "evolve" even if you're a bad drummer.. cause whatever you're doing BADLY.. works.. well.. lol

    • @eaaivazian
      @eaaivazian ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I'm a drummer and I can say wholeheartedly that Lars is NOT an "awful drummer," as Yewrine claimed. Is he Dave Lombardo? Hell, no. 99.9% of drummers aren't. But in almost every song, Lars plays what suits the song. It's one of the things that gives their songs an accessible, sometimes economical feel while still having quite a bit of adventurousness. He has a style all his own in terms of sometimes picking weird places to put the bass drum or snare. He's actually quite creative and it's fun to listen to him. The key to the band's sound is the combination of James' riffs and Lars truly supporting those riffs with his own distinctive groove. A few armchair quarterbacks talk about how his timing isn't perfect. On the whole, it's actually quite consistent. There are also times where he purposefully holds the beat back for a second (like in live versions of SAD BUT TRUE) or purposefully speeds the groove up. But the truth is: his timing is usually pretty good. Again, as a drummer, I can tell you that SO MANY rock drummers are not always consistent/don't always keep perfect time. Dave Grohl is a fine drummer (I personally think he often tends to write the same song over and over again, but that's another story) but Grohl's timekeeping is (believe it or not) often shaky. I know: I saw him live in 4th row at a THEM CROOKED VULTURES show. He was amazing...but his time-keeping was sometimes all over the place. Taylor Hawkins was also a very good drummer...but his time-keeping was also not perfect. On certain nights, he could be all over the place.
      Lars is, frankly, my favorite member of Metallica. He usually treats fans VERY well (just really kind) and his drumming is a key to the band's sound. People turn attacking Metallica into a hobby...but what Metallica have accomplished in music is mind-blowing. I appreciate very much that they, unlike so many metal bands, do not repeat themselves. I'm often shocked when they release a new album...but there isn't a Metallica album I haven't learned to appreciate in time. Every release is different. It makes them exciting. And Lars is a big part of their sound...and he's very consistent. I just watched a 2021 concert with my daughter and I could not believe the energy and consistency they pulled off in their performance at their ages. And Lars was truly great and played consistently well.

    tbf to Lars, James did not explain that well at all.
    Either he trolling or his years of experience switched off

    So cool to see how they figure it out after 40 years and how cool they are with each other... more after seeing Some Kind of Monster (nice banging door there)

    Q: How can you tell if a drum riser is level?
    A: When the drool is coming from both corners of the drummer's mouth.

    Really can't believe all the snobbish comments about the drumming! Who f... cares! Metallica is all about making it for yourself and not giving a damn about other people's opinions. Metallica was totally underground in the early/mid-eighties. AND they made it! Being grateful for other's succes is not a bad thing!
