THIS IS LARS PLAYING. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL TRACK USED ON THE ALBUM. GUITAR HERO METALLICA IS THE REASON WHY YOU CAN FIND OFFICIAL TRACKS FOR METALLICA AND NOT MANY OTHER BANDS. NO IT IS NO A COMPUTER. NO IT IS NOT MIDI. THIS IS LARS.
The Proof that is isn't Midi is at 03:09. The double bass bass is nowhere near perfect. You can even hear some mistakes in his transistion. If it was MiDi it would be Quantized!
He's playing fast while hitting hard with weight dynamics and great accents ! not very many drummers of this genre paid attention to those details that's why Metallica sounded miles ahead than anybody else back then .
I always appreciated that about his drumming. I will say, it feels odd to hear him playing in live shows all the way back to the mid 90s... It's like he doesn't hit his hi-hat every second time, like you can tell he is but it's not a consistent volume like I think it should be for the songs he's playing. It gets buried in the mix. It goes back to his weight dymanics thing, I think he might be overdoing it on the hi-hats, but that's just a small nitpick I suppose.
The problem is that he's not even once played it like this live. Which is unfortunate because it's the way we know it. Live it's just random apart from the core beats, like the skank etc.
Shallex they didn’t start splicing til justice there’s an interview with Hatfield where he talks about how he was embarrassed that they were still doing live tracks when it dint have to be done that way or some shit like that.
#1 for younger folks. This was 1985. Lars was not the only thrash drummer but this was a very new style of playing and compared to other drummers at the time - he had style and you could tell it was him. #2 what we all can and cannot do (or want do not want to) do in our 40's and 50's physically should not diminish what we did in our 20's. I don't see people going "Joe Montana WAS good but he SUCKS now". #3 For a band that was playing this style of music where precision was important - it probably would not really sound right if there were not human elements - imperfections. Doesn't anyone understand this at this point? Other drummers were and are more precise - which is a credit to them. There are some great Beatles records with lots of human error that make the music more real though for example. I think Lars gets beat up pretty much for one reason - his personality.
@@guillevidalfabres come on you got to do way better than that bro! I 100% agree from Kill to Justice was absolutely Immaculate progression. And then he got fat and Rich and did not give a fuck at all what he playedfor his fans live. Any performance pre-black album is absolutely the motherfuking standard. Anything after Lars met Bob Rock is all waste. He doesn't even try to play whats on the album live which in my mind is a complete and total rip-off to the fan who fell in love with what's on the album.
Stop makin excuse for Lars I love Metallica too but I disagree Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan and Tom Hunting are the same age as Lars but unlike Lars they worked to improve there craft Lars on the other hand got Super rich and got "content" with his style and didnt bother working it out just listen to Dave Lombardo he got bettet thru the years but I still love Metallica tho
Lars may not be as good as he used to be but no one can deny his role in shaping the sound of Metallica. In my opinion he still kicks ass when it comes to song arrangements and song writing
He didn't just shape the sound of Metallica, he had a big part of shaping the sound of metal drumming to this very day. Look up vids of modern metal drummers biggest influences. The MAJORITY list Lars as a huge influence. The only people who don't think he was influential are keyboard trolls who've never even attempted playing music.
I actually can, subjectively. This isn't technically impressive whatsoever. In fact, it's very monotonous. Just because it sounds hard, and it's "Fast" Doesn't mean it's technically good in any way. Do you know anything about drumming, or are you saying this because you think it sounds good?
Because he is sloppy. Its most likely intentional. His time is erratic and not solid for THE MOST PART. still good drumming and stylistically tasteful.
@Noot Noot, well he's sober now, over half a century years old, he spent about 2 thirds of his life going on constant tour, played thousands of shows, recorded around +/- 11 albums (depending what you count in the mix: obviously studio albums; live albums, cover albums). He played on all continents. The guy's a legend, with all the things he accomplished, of course he'll be tired.
nicko mcbrain is 64, and spent most of his life going on constant tour, played thousands of shows, recorded 15+ albums, and just recently played on a world tour. he's still rocking, and nobody talks shit about his playing skills. he's still rocking. no excuses for lars for not practicing.
Omfg... There's a HUGE difference in style between Iron Maiden and Metallica. Iron Maiden has simple drum beats and Nicko doesn't even use double bass whereas Lars often uses double bass and complex (well, more than Iron Maiden) beats... Comparing walking to running... of course Nicko would have less problems... Sure Lars should keep practicing to be on point, but Nicko would be wrecked if he tried to play what Lars plays
Cian Reeves O'shea Someone who can't play drums can't do this in a studio - after all it's still them playing. Fair enough, they'd be better in a studio than live, but the idea of a studio is to capture someone at their very best, so that makes sense.
Cian Reeves O'shea That's a retarded reason to say he sucks "infinite tries to get it perfect." It's called practice. And when you're in the middle of a concert, you don't have much time to prepare. Especially when they like to get votes on which songs they want to play while they're at the concert.
This was recorded in the cold winter in 1985 at the Sweet Silence studios back room now an apartment and they had to heat with blow torches so not the best recording climate. Also this was done take after take edited together.
The technical stuff might be boring but interesting to some people. Drums Tama Superstar, Ludwig black beauty snare, Zildjian A cymbals. 2 hihats X hat for the fast stuff to the right and easier for tom work. Temperatures inflicts on the tuning of instruments so this would be a more extreme setting than most drum recordings including future Metallica sessions.
***** You're right. I totally forgot about AJFA, But I'm still pretty sure he was still using solid takes on MoP. There's a chance I could be wrong though.....
It is very exciting drum track. To a really great song. If this kind of music is your thing. Metallica was a truly awesome band on this recording. Whatever history happened afterward is another issue. Thank you for the insight on how it was recorded.
Hearing this makes me wish they would remix and remaster Puppets, this time bringing the kicks up a bit more. His bass drum work here deserves a greater presence in the mix.
@@jonnyj. at 3:09 you can hear the double bass start to go out of time towards the end of the section, and certain single kicks throughout the whole song are "jumpy" or a fraction of a second before or after the exact beat, such as during the section at 2:10, but there's nothing wrong with that
@@shallex5744 he's executing double kick drum triplets which is a rhythmic pattern and in some cases working tom and snare fills into the rhythm which takes immense skill.
This is an energetic line of great ideas, and Lars' approach to the song is very musical. As a drummer through decades, I've heard drummers able to hit every 32nd beat on every subdivision, yet sounding stale, not showing creativity or liveliness. I never cared about well-trained drummers capable of sounding like they've been quantized in Protools. Add to this that Lars' performance wasn't edited, unlike many modern players whose beats are being mixed around, best bits and sounds copy/pasted etc. If the zest and musicality is present, I'm willing to enjoy a 99.9% hit/miss ratio performance!
@@matthewb3725 That started during the Justice era. Another comment on this video mentions an interview with Hetfield saying that he wished they'd started splicing tape before Justice. I may be wrong though, I don't 100% know if they're correct.
"Lars is a bad bad drummer" "Lars should stop producing he sucks" the irony is that lars' production and drumming has sold 130 million albums, whereas many of these "critics" are neither professional drummers, nor producers, and think that they know better than the likes of Lars, Bob, Rick, James and Kirk... Kind of a joke if you ask me Not trying to start shit, just pointing out fact
@@Top10Dylan Um... show me another drummer with this type of kick pattern. Lars was well known for having extremely unique kick patterns, just take a look at blackened. Literally no other drummer sounds like that...
Lars es ese baterista del que nunca dejas de tener esa sensación de que apenas con mucho trabajo va correteando el tempo correcto. Esa sensación de que siempre va como dos milésimas de segundo atrás. No se diga de las carencias que tiene para sincronizar el golpe de la caja con el doble bombo.
That is the closest we got to that sound and it was just me and my drumming friends from the Timpview Drum Line after I graduated that summer haning at Sam Fosters studio: Audio VIsion after he gave us a key to his studio after my high school rock band Slinky Fink recorded there from winning a session by being the best rock band in the school. We found this funk bassist and then this singer wasinto the CHilli Peppers rap style.
Played out 16" Remo FIberskyn 3 from 1990 close micd with an RE20 or a Letterman Mic. Urie Monitors Record to 2" tape and parametric the mids out boost the bass frequencies.
Reynaldo Figueroa I'm not denying that, but it gets me very angry when people say he was never good. He wasn't born with any natural talent, he had to work hard to play this well. When I listen to Disposable Heroes, the drumming is the work of a true genius. There is no doubt his skills have definitely diminished and his live playing has never been that good but this is the work of a hard working drummer and he deserves respect.
I think that he has his own way of groove, very different and the same moment very close to Bonzo. Complicated to explain, it kind of attitude and pressure he put and his ignoring of metronome. He purpose don't cares to be clean, he cares about energy and pulsating as his main goal.
Those people are mostly complaining about his present-day sloppy and somewhat lazy style. He had much more passion for drumming during the first half of the 80s, but some people think that it's hip to rip on Lars and pretend like he is "the worst drummer EV4R!!1", because they need to hate something.
Jealousy is not automatically the basis for critique. You don't have to be a chef to know what shit food is. Yet there are so many here that think you have to be a drummer to know what you are talking about, most of you who say stuff like "prove it otherwise shutup!" are probably not drummers either. The drumming to Battery is awesome and it fits the song perfectly, but it doesn't require any special amount of stamina (none with good technique) and it doesn't require cocaine! I'm a death metal drummer and this is basic metal drumming that any metal drummer with enough practice can achieve within a pretty short amount of time. Btw, I love Lars and he's the sole reason I got into drumming in the first place. Stuff like Gavin Harrison tends to play, that's hard!
I’m not on the “Lars sucks” bandwagon and would never be. Metallica wouldn’t and couldn’t exist without him. But at this point in time, he was on his way to becoming a really, really solid metal drummer. You look at footage from the puppets tour and he was DESTROYING it every night. It was only after the Bob Rock influence started that he dialed it back and started laying down a lot of backbeats. I’m convinced that’s a big part of the reason that this side of his playing started to suffer as the 90s progressed. If you don’t practice and develop this stuff, you can lose your consistency pretty easily...as any musician knows.

You know if you listen to a lot of Metallica live performances in the mid to the end of the eighties were sometimes faster then on the record. So yes this is Lars.
Lars may not be the most skilled drummer out there, but he’s got a distinctive style that is instantly recognisable that works with the style of music he plays and that is what makes him a legendary drummer. Then again, the bass drum work on this particular tune is pretty insane! Keith Moon wasn’t that great of a drummer either, but his style worked for the music he played. I mention him because his style is reminiscent of Lars somewhat. Sloppy, but in a good way, also very natural and musical.

This song is VERY hard to play accurately on drums all the way through. So, compliments to Lars for the great job.

I don't know this Lars guy very well but I think you guys are giving him so much shit on his drumming. This is FUCKING AWESOME! #wanna
Those people are mostly complaining about his present-day sloppy and somewhat lazy style. He had much more passion for drumming during the first half of the 80s, but some people think that it's hip to rip on Lars and pretend like he is "the worst drummer EV4R!!1", because they need to hate something.
The audio cut off on the cymbal crash.... Then it came on again! Hhhhmmmmm Im not sure why......(;
0:26 The real beginning.
Jealousy is not automatically the basis for critique. You don't have to be a chef to know what shit food is. Yet there are so many here that think you have to be a drummer to know what you are talking about, most of you who say stuff like "prove it otherwise shutup!" are probably not drummers either. The drumming to Battery is awesome and it fits the song perfectly, but it doesn't require any special amount of stamina (none with good technique) and it doesn't require cocaine! I'm a death metal drummer and this is basic metal drumming that any metal drummer with enough practice can achieve within a pretty short amount of time. Btw, I love Lars and he's the sole reason I got into drumming in the first place. Stuff like Gavin Harrison tends to play, that's hard!
Mic 1'4 inch away from head. Strike head with a VIc Firth 5B and play double bass patterns to tape. Playback and EQ.
So this is what my neighbors hear when i play the drums
This sounds bad fucking ass!!!
Lars es un maestro

why is the kick drum panned so far to the left?
BAT-TER-REE
I’m not on the “Lars sucks” bandwagon and would never be. Metallica wouldn’t and couldn’t exist without him. But at this point in time, he was on his way to becoming a really, really solid metal drummer. You look at footage from the puppets tour and he was DESTROYING it every night. It was only after the Bob Rock influence started that he dialed it back and started laying down a lot of backbeats. I’m convinced that’s a big part of the reason that this side of his playing started to suffer as the 90s progressed. If you don’t practice and develop this stuff, you can lose your consistency pretty easily...as any musician knows.
Lashing out the action
Returning a reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power
Crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Crushing all deceivers
Mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker
Feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Circle of destruction
Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury
Dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Battery
Battery
Do a full"...and justice for all" album, BASS ONLY vid
Enjoy the silence..
Parece un tema tocado por Dave Lombardo
Why are the kicks basically only in my left ear? Was the audio tampered with?
You know if you listen to a lot of Metallica live performances in the mid to the end of the eighties were sometimes faster then on the record. So yes this is Lars.
His playing is comparable to Dave Lombardo here. This is good. Lars is still a decent drummer.
Lars technically WAS better than Lombardo. Lombardo was just faster.
@@nickstalker3254 what? Dude what type of drugs are you on?
@@jimboy6414 Good ones, obviously.
Dave is a better all round drummer, but Lars has his own style, and he and James ARE Metalica
@@trulyunoriginal he said "was" Dave surpassed him eventually, and out of the Big Four he is by everyone's admission the best of the bunch
4:10 play that at 1.75x speed dave lombardo just appeared on the drum track
Me : listening to this song
My headset: battery low
Give me your war face Lars!!!!!! He is the god of rock!!
2:09
Lars may not be the most skilled drummer out there, but he’s got a distinctive style that is instantly recognisable that works with the style of music he plays and that is what makes him a legendary drummer.
Then again, the bass drum work on this particular tune is pretty insane!
Keith Moon wasn’t that great of a drummer either, but his style worked for the music he played. I mention him because his style is reminiscent of Lars somewhat. Sloppy, but in a good way, also very natural and musical.
