Love these interviews, in spite of Howard's constant tendency to step on his guests.

This is why Lars deserves utmost respect. There may be a gazillion of better drummers technically but few with real musicality inside.
Absolutely. Lars hears where each instrument needs to go and arrange them. Lars should be a producer and arranger. He’s soooo good. Great ear.
Perfectly stated!
Lars ability to listen to a riff, dissect the riff, add parts, change the sequence is really integral to Metallica's success in song writing....
Im here before the disagreeing haters come 😃
Exactly!
This is Lars’ superpower. You can see it in behind the scenes stuff or on the making of videos with them in the studio. He has his hands in every part of the song, tweaking it, asking them to try things, getting timings down, and shaking the song into the shape it needs to be. He’s not the worlds most technical drummer, he doesn’t play in weird time signatures or complex patterns, but he’s an amazing producer and collaborator.
Amen 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I don't know if he considers himself this but he's just an overall great composer and songwriter.
Agree 100%. That's why I respect Lars for his compositional skill. His drumming is only great for Metallica.
This is why Lars is credited on (almost) every single song of their discography
He is an amazing composer
Great story. Lars obviously has an ear for music production.
Interesting to see you here Karl, cheers!
Oh hey Karl, too early to see you here
That's essentially it. Lars has always been the band's arranger, and in many ways arranging is probably the most important thing in song writing. Sure coming up with the riff or melody is important, but in many ways that's the easy part. It's how you put it all together that makes a great song.
karl you really rock
Eurovision..
Kirk came up with arguably the most iconic riff of all time
Absolutely one of the best riff ever...!!! 🤘
Lars came up with it.
Actually Adam Siegel came up with it, look up Tapping Into the Emotional Void to hear the original version
Jason came up with the Blackened riff.
@@Azraelmaximiliandamn I just listened to it and it’s definitely similar
Props to Howard for asking questions that help us get a peak into Metallica's process. Not many interviewers ask that kind of stuff. Cool insight, thanks to Mr. Stern.
HS is a great interviewer. He does his homework and knows what he's talking about!!
It wasn’t always that way in this band, and I’m so proud and happy to see that they evolved and are now a tight knit unit.
Everyone still using the word 'evolved' in a wrong context... but we get that you mean 'MATURED.'
I just commented with pretty much the same thing, you’re 💯 correct
This song was written in the early 90s.
It's how it worked ever since Lightning.
Has Hetfield ever tried acting? The way he’s aged, with his look, I could totally see him in a Western.
He's been cast in an upcoming movie too, can't remember the name though
he is on new western movie in works
Wasn't he the sheriff or executioner on the Ted Bundy film?
@@gtyrone83 He played a Utah Highway Patrol officer that arrested Ted Bundy
I think that he could get a cameo with Nash in John Wick 5. Eh?
Letting your band mates have freedom all around to ask the drummer to try this or the guitarist try that instead etc.. only works if all the musicians are at the same level - that's when you can really trust ..when you have established musical respect for your band mates
idk didnt lars get pissy at james in the st anger documentary for james saying his drums were sounding stock? lol.
@@OMFGitsWALLY Probably not the era they are proudest of, being that it almost ended the band
That's not true at all. Collaboration between musicians of varying skill levels works fine.
@@OMFGitsWALLY that's why they were about to break up but they didn't because they started working on themselves and expressing feelings and emotions with one and another. They matured individually and as a band back then
Kirk was/is so crucial to that band
If the entire interview could be uploaded that'd be very swell
Let's admit, Metallica is still together and so succesful because of Lars vision, drive and creativity.
James, Kirk and Rob are amazing, but Lars is essential.
One thing that I love about Metallica songs is the simplistic drumming.
Lars's drumming is catchy and so easy to air drum.
Respect for Lars.
a massive part of their fame is purely due to controversy and tragedy.
It's because Lars was a metal nerd before he started playing in a band.
@@uraniumcranium2613hmmm no, their fame is bc their legendary tunings, their charisma and bc they are pure artists.
Above all, only reason there is Metallica is bc of Lars
Would love it if JASON was still here. #1
Lars is a music listener and knows what he likes in a rock song, so he tries his best to incorporate things he llikes in songs in the creative process. Over the years he has learned stuff and applied it. A real music producer.
The audio quality in these Metallica/stern clips is ALWAYS amazing
I’m so happy they’re still doing all this, it’s truly a blessing 🤘🏼
Yes.... it is !
The brilliance of Lars! What a great arranger he is!
All they do is fight with each other
I think it's because he prays to St. Anger....
A ego free songwriting band..very rare indeed
Jason Newsted.
@Seba Tarth Kiss and Motley crue come to mind
@@DM-rc4yu What about him?
Queen
What about the Beatles?@@NinetiesYouth
To think they’ve been formed 42 years ago and Lars and James are still together producing top quality metal is something that boggles the mind beyond belief.
James first showing that riff from Sandman sounded HARD
Great crunchy tone, probably a fractal model of his tube amp combinations.
Ridiculous tone
Axe FX III! Diezel and Mesa amps within the guitar processor
I love this band so much. It's insane.
jja
Lars isn't a drummer, he's a composer. And one of the BEST
He is also a marketing genius
More of an arranger
Not a good drummer
@@chebrneck Well done Chad
Arranger. Composers come up with melody and arrangements.
Howard please upload the entire interview in full 😮
Its on sirius xm I listened to the whole thing last night
Getting glimpses into the creative process of master musicians is always so fascinating to me.
I am Australian, so I don't know how Howard Stern interviews but this is how it should be done .
Really takes you in and gives a whole new dimension.
Awesome stuff
Each member is very talented and creative. It nice to see a band have mutual respect for each other ! I think they are fantastic and have evolved both personally, in addition to, professionally ! Go Metallica go !! 👍❤️🎶
Also, please post more Metallica music/interviews perhaps the Siriusxm content..if possible ! Many thanks !!! 😉
You are all so great! Love anything I see on Metallica
Tapping into the emotional void is where Kirk got the riff .
Ha Kirk saying that it was original. Yea original by Adam Siegel.
1:18 James' reaction is hilarious
Lar’s has come up with unbelievable drum part that are perfect for the song!! There’s a reason this band is legendary, they create amazing songs!!🤘🤘
It's unbelievable, they talk about the creation of this amazing piece as if it was yesterday! 🖤🎶🎸🖤
Because they probably repeated this story 5000 times for interviewers over the course of their career.
i can imagine for metallica fans how gold those videos have to be
James looks great. Very good to see him doing well.
More of this please !!!!
fascinating stuff seeing behind the scenes. so cool.
FULL EPISODE PLEEEASEEE
They have such good chemistry, thats why they are so successful.
Respect on highest levels.
Lars é gênio!
This was one of the best questions asked in an interview.
That’s because it’s not just a band, it’s a bunch of friends
#metallica
And this is why i still listen Metallica. Their approach to music is professional, creative and inspiring.
That riff will be around forever. And the song.
So many years in the states, and Lars still have that lovely danish accent❤❤
James' tone is killer!!!
The tone is MAGICAL.
Lars is a beautiful drummer. You cannot forget how good he was in the 80s and 90s and he is still amazing!
The impact this tune did to Moscow years ago could only be described as "immense"...
Lots of people say Enter Sandman was a ripoff of the song by Excel called Tapping Into the Emotional Void. It's on YT
THAT TONE IS CRUNCHY JAMES!!
Axe FX 3. IIC++ and Diezel VH4.
sounds too digital to me.
@@andrew6978 it is being digital for some time, of course amps are real, solid state. th-cam.com/video/P6k2ghtbhoU/w-d-xo.html
@@jutjub22 it does sound too processed
It's hilarious that kirk has come up with all the money riffs lol. Sandman is what made metallica rich 😀
Really? Name me another "money" song that Kirk is the primary writer on.
Kirk's great, but every fan knows that James is the primary riff master. And a lot more than Sandman made Metallica wealthy.
It’s funny how Kirk came up with everything that’s important and then they go on about how Lars Ulrich turned it into gold by saying can you play it three times instead of once
@@mm091540 I think the most badass riff is disposable heroes and kirk came up with that to 😀
@@MrOctavia1000trapped under ice too
Even without Sandman riff Metallica would be the same legendary band
Every band should follow this model, just look at RUSH, the trust and love they had was incredible and you can feel it here with Metallica too
Howard needs an award for music-intelligence award of the millennium.
A band is basically a family of musicians that can help each other out with ideas 💡 for a song.
And that what makes this band a perfect band.
Aren't you adorable.
Loved this
Rob feeling so lonely
This makes me smile
Can't wait for the 72 seasons tour in Los Angeles. Hurry up August
god i love this band
I... fk'ng love Metallica!
BRO THIS IS SO COOL
Their speech is legendary
If you judge Lars purely on drumming skills there are many many others better than him but not every one has the skill to know and understand music as good as him
Legends.
Takes a village, Teamwork makes the dreamwork... All that. 🤘👍
I really enjoyed their answer they could of just been real short about it but went real deep.
It took Metallica; Lars, James, Kirk, and Rob to make Metal ~ Mental ! Love it.
Thank you!
How ever they do it, it certainly works. Keep rockin' boys!
Lars wrote 4 mega records without metronome and people talk about his rythm...as gojira's drummer said"behind the drums I saw a great personality"Lars is just great
2:27 james hand movment when lars interrupts XP
50 years later, the boys have finally grown!
This band has matured in the best possible way. Other bands should take note. Kudos Metallica.
James’s tone🔥
That's the first time I've heard Lars talk about freedom, trust, and love.
that was such an amazing insight on that.
This is the ground reason why Jason Newstead openly defend Lars despite being criticized for his drumming ability
I come up with great riffs at 3am. My trouble is I turn over and go back to sleep then in the morning I have forgotten them 😅
Love 'em All
Lars is criminally underrated in this band
I mean he's the number two in the band. I think people understand hes a visionary. Not the most talented drummer, but an extremely talented songwriter.
No he's not.
Eveybody knows that he is the brain in the Metallica machine,they just fear to admit it
Beautiful
I do that, and other people suggest stuff for me too. I understand what it means now when Lars is credited for arrangements
I feel blessed
Legends! 🤘
I love this band
Thanks god for keep kirk wake on that night 😂😂
What a guitar tone, wow. Anyone know what gear they're using nowadays? Kempers still?
Love Metallica 🤘💓🤘
What Lars said at 2:30 has to be the funniest thing as there are so many videos of them (Lars and other members mostly) beefing over what he’s talking about.
i didn't see the beatles show with the song making process but from what i heard similar
Dang I can really tell theyve worked through a lot of their issues from the Some Kind of Monster days
I completely agree with Rob's take on this.
😂👍
Jason is rolling his eyes
Rock on baby 🤘🤘🤘
Robert: Yes, I agree
That’s what makes this band great!
Epic OG's
I feel love
No ego until you tell the mixer take the bass out of the entire album.
Guess they’ve come a long way since the St Anger days. It shows in the material they are producing too - the new album is great.
