Yes they always get fun live because is the thing they love to do, and all spectators and band connect, i never hated Lars and live is really nice as you can see xD and he was going to give the drumstick to some guy was repling for it and he walks in front of me, i touch Lars right shoulder Lol
you got to love the energy lars puts in his drumming even the 4/4 beat.. its just great to watch, great showmanship... you can watch all the technical drummers where everything is triggered to death... but it never just gives me goosebumps than a lars drumming part... it's the total package, not only the fasts DB bmp...
You should check out Gavin Harrison if you want to know what actual musical drumming is. Not that Lars doesn't have his place in the Metal hall of gods, because he does, but he is cocky, arrogant and actually has a hard time Keeping straight time. Most of the album stuff from years prior, he can't even play. In contrast, There is a video of Neil Peart wherein he is playing Subdivisions, but the video is from a 2015 show, and the audio is the studio audio from '82 that was on the record ( ruclips.net/video/l3T-9wCVQPw/видео.html ). They perfectly line up and he didn't miss a single fucking note. THAT is consistency. Lars doesn't even play Metallica consistently...
He maintains a quite perfect 89-90 bpm throughout this clip and even keeps it during the odd time tom breaks, but I think basic facts are not important when it is about hating lars
Everyone here giving Lars shit for his drumming but it needs to be pointed out that he's not out of time here, there's just a slight delay between what's coming out of the speakers that's been processed and the actual live sound of the drums that the camera is picking up. I have first hand experience with this. I seen Metallica at Slane Castle in the pit and the sound was great but as soon as they came out for the encore on the walkway where they were within spitting distance of me I could hear both the actual live drums right in front of me as well as coming out through the P.A. and there was a slight delay. Not to mention I have a background in sound engineering and a small delay is to be expected, especially if what you're hearing coming out of the PA has to account for travel around a stadium (depending on where you are in relation to any particular line arrays or what have you.) That's why it sounds so out of time from the guitars here. The phone camera is only picking up the live drums in front of him but the guitars are being heard after going through the desk and out through the P.A. Not to mention also having a lot of reverb rom the stadium on top of them. I'm not here defending Lars, but it's important to note from a technical standpoint why this sounds "out of time."
Есть много видео где профи разбирают его партии и те кто в теме, понимают, что он реально хороший. Создаётся только одно впечатление, что он стал заложником своих ранних работ, до того момента, когда решил упростить свои ударные. Он сам себе задрал планку. Но для меня он всегда лучший, потому как этот симбиоз с Джеймсом никто не превзойдёт. Как Керк, кто бы не пытался заменить его соло в песнях, все они звучат конкретно нелепо. Это симбиоз 4х человек. И я счастлив, что в свою юность я познакомился с их творчеством и до сих пор являюсь их фанатом
I can only imagine that pure adrenaline rush! 😎😎 I’ve played dozens of shows before as a drummer! The most I’ve playing in front of was like 400 people and they weren’t even there for us, My heart was jumping out of my chest so I couldn’t even imagine this!!!!!
I can relate. Recently I, played the first show where the crowd was actually taking interest in my band. And it was so much more fun and easier to play
Ya'll gotta realize what you're most hearing is the acoustics of the drums against the Guitars coming out of the PA SPEAKERS. It sounds like he's rushing but he's right on time we're just hearing the sound of the physical drums from the kit directly rather than the speakers like everyone else. He ain't the best but hes doing perfectly fine here
Yeah he’s playing in time with the click track and the guitars are coming back- out of time -because they are reflecting off the roof etc before this iPhone records it
Sorry that’s not what is happening. What many are referring to is his lack of control or discipline with the tempo within each bar. People that have a grasp of musical time are understandably frustrated listening to a performance like this. Nonetheless, I love Metallica too and Lars is a huge part of their sound.
@@monkswhiskers3354 I dont wanna be a professional musician so no Im not jealous, if anything, Im glad Im not as bad as he is. Money, Fame or not, him being in a famous band doesnt mean he is the reason its famous...
I don't know... I preffer the white kit that he's uses in 1994 (When he's began to uses this configuration)... The yellow ain't be a metal color... Reminds me to Stryper.
@@josemojicaperez4436 I was JUST gonna say, that one is my fav too. That white TAMA Granstar kit from the early 90 is where it's at. Those booming toms. My first real kit was a '91 Tama Rockstar DX, and If I could find it and buy it back, I 110% would.
@@theremain9299 fair point. Often it comes down to luck and hard work. But Lars does have decent skills and an excellent song aesthetic. Also stadium touring requires something from a drummer that few ever gets to appreciate.
Meu respeito a Lars, ele é e sempre será o baterista do Metallica, porque sem Lars não é o Metallica, vida longa ao Lars e a banda Metallica que está há décadas na estrada levando seu Rock para o mundo. Brazil 🇧🇷 loves Metallica 🤘🤜🤛👏👏👏
Mario Duplantier - Lars is a genius...(his) drumming is so special, particularly the way he writes those patterns. Even now I think he’s the best showman drummer in the world Mike Portnoy - Lars' drumming was groundbreaking...I can’t state how important he is to drumming and the metal world in general George Kollias - I have a GREAT respect for Lars, i think he and Metallica changed Metal and this is why Lars has made pretty much everyone from my generation to pick up the sticks Tomas Haake - Lars was such an integral part of what made Metallica. They were a completely new animal. It was actually quite technical for the time, if you listen to Kill ‘Em All or Ride The Lightning the work he does on that is very innovative. So you have to give him his props These are quotes from just some of the drummers considered elite in terms of technical ability who have praised/appreciated Lars' playing and ability. Does any of it contradict the fact that Lars can be lazy or keep poor timing at times? Heck no. But if you're only focusing on that aspect, you're missing the forest for the trees. Remember, Music is first and foremost, Art. Not a science, not an athletic competition, Art.
It’s almost like his white ArtStars with black rims but yellow this time. So vibrant! I could not play a kit like this as I tend to like warmer wood finishes but this thing is almost as good as Vinnie Colaiuta’s Gretsch kits from around 2000.
I say to people who have a hate on for Lars cos he isn't as falshie or has carzy stick tricks, look at this man play he plays with heart and passion for not only the drums but for the pure entertainment and give us fans 40+ years of Heavy Metal Maddnes 🤘
The reason why it sounds like he’s off time is because you’re hearing the drums up close and then the guitars are coming over the house PA and the sound is echoing IN A FUCKING STADIUM. There’s always a slight sound delay because sound generally rises up. If there’s was an actual mic’d 4x12 stack on stage next to the drums, it would sound normal. Use some common sense if you can find any.
@@yesfratbknowin1631well mainly it's the latency between the venue speakers and the live kit. But you know better of course😂 not saying his fills here are great, in my opinion he plays too many fills and should take a listen to the studio version because that has amazing fills. Feel & timing wise, it's pretty consistent though... If we're arguing about a measure lagging or pushing here and there maybe you shouldn't go to live concerts that aren't on clicks... Personally I think he's doing ok, but could tighten up a few of his parts
It's so bizarre, there are so many comments saying 'anyone who is being critical of Lars is just a jealous hater' yet if you were to go to any of Danny Carey's RUclips videos there is nothing but admiration. So clearly people don't hate because they're jealous.
Lol at all the people saying he's off beat in this video, you're hearing the reverb of being in a massive arena. It's best to be farther away at arena shows if you want a good audio experience. He's got in-ear monitors and hears the rest of the band in real time, you are only hearing him in real time.
@@KyleJPie10What are you talking about, just literally click count with the video and you can immediately tell he's off. Let alone drumming to a completely different track around 2:35 😂
Yeah dude, this video is right next to him and he’s still off. Plus on the records. That argument ain’t gonna get you too far. He’s iconic, and he may be the best drummer for Metallica, but that doesn’t mean he’s a great drummer.
Being wealthy doesn't make someone an expert at something, and it also doesn't shield them from fair criticism. Furthermore, since Metallica consists of multiple members, you cannot simply assert that Lars is the sole reason for the band's success.
Music isn’t a contest. Music is art. Art is subjective. That band worked hard on their art. P.S. I’m not really a fan of Metallica but I certainly respect what they were able to accomplish.
He is an entertainer through and through. As a metal drummer myself, I can play more technical, but I could never match his energy. Or those parts (writing them)… he is a legend.
@@Shimabuku We all Metallica fans are lucky that he was with Metallica from the start. Everyone can learn drum technique, but not all cant learn song writing ( that is worth listen to)
Couple friends were tight to the stage in Detroit, they said he struggled throughout the show. At times the whole band was watching him closely so they could stay in synch with him, because he was so far off.
@@andodrums3565 He's credited for writing almost all Metallica songs, so when people look down on him Is it contempt or jealously? I can guarantee you there are more people on this planet who love Lars than who love you. Sad but true
@AndoDrums How to define "good" or "bad"? I think it's unfair to limit comments only to playing technique when it comes to art. And by art I meant the art form of self-expression. In that category, Lars is one of the most authentic performers in rock history, and there's something relatable about his imperfect playing technique. I strongly believe that is the reason for his long-term success. I don't mean this comment to be offensive. I was just thinking about the reasons why Metallica is as big a phenomenon as it is. It can't just be a coincidence.
For all those who are throwing shit at lars out of ignorance: The drums will always be heard a little before the instruments coming out of the speakers, you can check dozens of videos where the drummer is being recorded and I can tell you that it is always the same. Don't be naive.
mains, monitors, in ears .latency, echo, delay, reverb... No matter what aspect of live sound technology taking consideration Lars is still goes off tempo, and plays out of time.
Amazing showman. Great song arranger. Good drummer when he wants to be.....his improvising and lack of discipline ruins his performances but oh well still the best band ever
@@lexdipadova5098 Thank you sir. He ruins certain songs for me, like Sanitarium and Nothing Else Matters, with constant improvising and overplaying. I wish he played like he did at Woodstock 99 and that time period, it was tasteful and solid
@@BradyA1124 I've been to live performances. Such behavior is frowned upon. At least in the United States. Especially lately, with COVID-19. If you spit on me, you'd lose a few teeth.
That’s a performer. He is 60 and is gracious with the audience and whatever you can say about his drumming, he gives it his all. It shows. That’s passion. You can’t replace that. You can’t fake that.
So to anyone here who says Lars sucks, then my question to you is "what's your excuse?". Why are you not on the stage and in the spotlight like this? Lars is doing it, doing just what he does! Making millions and living a great life.
No, he’s totally a legend, but not for masterful drum technique or anything like that. Per technical skill, he’s intermediate at best, but nevertheless, a very successful drummer.
Those who object to statements regarding his poor skill/technique probably aren’t drummers themselves. Not sure he’d even disagree with such statements lol.
@@jd0879 Bobby Dahl from Poison once said "I didnt become a bass player to be a musician, I became a bass player to become a ROCKSTAR and I DID THAT". Take it for what it's worth. There are many many drummers out there, some better and some worse. On any given night in America somewhere there is a musician honing their craft or playing showing their skills to those who find enjoyment from it. That's what it's all about, in front of the fans, albums sold, and out on the road that's the pinnacle. The rest is all the BS.
The amount of bedroom drummers exposing themselves in the comments by saying his playing sounds off or sounds bad. It sounds this way to you because you don’t understand how live sound works. You are hearing an acoustic kit from behind the PA in a large open space and also hearing the PA travelling around the room and coming back into the camera behind the kit, that’s why he “sounds off”. Well done on the self report with that one. I wish you luck on your gig…when you finally get one.
Jay Dickson, All due respect but Lars is off himself, even has to come off his throne to get back on time, (2:40) if that’s not the definition of off, (waiting fir the beat to come around) I don’t know what is. He is off. It’s ok.
Because he’s not a skilled drummer by today’s “youtube influencer musician” standards. That’s literally it and yeah, it’s really petty and stupid. Yes, his style works for Metallica but he’s not the fastest or most accurate drummer so he gets a lot of hate from a musical world that measures a drummer’s worth based on how quickly they can use a double bass pedal or whether or not they play jazz properly… or can do gravity blasts. In a nutshell, the haters lost a sense of what music is all about: having fun.
@@A.S.-ty7rv Some people never do because he has no incentive to. He’s the drummer for Metallica. It’s not like people aren’t going to go to their concerts or buy their music as-is.
Concidering that Lars is from Nebula 543 in the Qwarigon constellation and perceps time 0,9785 of a hundred of a second faster than anyone else that doesnt make him play out of tempo. The recording microphone does.
Now I missed his Orange and his purple drum kit but now it's the Yellow kit with the black Snare that's cool. I thought he was gonna use his Black Album drum kit like in the Lux Æterna video but I guess not. But yeah I really missed his Orange and the Purple drum kit.
This is challenging music to play for guys around 60 to play for 2 hrs a night plus they are doing that 2 back to back shows without repeating songs . Metallica's music endures for a reason because it's awesome.✌️❤️🎵
Why are you complaining!!???? Lars is a brillant drummer, he does a great job, I can`t stop to watch him, with 100% fire in his blood 🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Love him or hate him, say he sucks at his craft; he’s the drummer of Metallica and you’re not.

He doesn’t suck at his craft, it’s just his craft is managing a band, as opposed to keeping time in a band.
Definitely one of the drummers of all time
not sure if we can call it a drummer, debatable.
He's perfectly in time.... a different time, but perfectly in time.
It’s another dimension
He lost the tempo at 2:21 for showing off

In that category, Lars is one of the most authentic performers in rock history, and there's something relatable about his imperfect playing technique. I strongly believe that is the reason for his long-term success.
I don't mean this comment to be offensive. I was just thinking about the reasons why Metallica is as big a phenomenon as it is. It can't just be a coincidence.
For all those who are throwing shit at lars out of ignorance: The drums will always be heard a little before the instruments coming out of the speakers, you can check dozens of videos where the drummer is being recorded and I can tell you that it is always the same. Don't be naive.
As an example, go see Kai Hahto's drumcams with Nightwish, it's always the same, but then in the mix it all sounds good.
mains, monitors, in ears .latency, echo, delay, reverb... No matter what aspect of live sound technology taking consideration Lars is still goes off tempo, and plays out of time.
Metronomes hate him
Those are the longest sticks I've ever seen
Short arms need long sticks
It's lars who is small. Makes the sticks look bigger.
Lars The GOAT.
great video , thank you ….I love seeing anything Metallica related
Amazing showman. Great song arranger. Good drummer when he wants to be.....his improvising and lack of discipline ruins his performances but oh well still the best band ever
Best and nicest way to put it
@@lexdipadova5098 Thank you sir. He ruins certain songs for me, like Sanitarium and Nothing Else Matters, with constant improvising and overplaying. I wish he played like he did at Woodstock 99 and that time period, it was tasteful and solid
This makes me fucking cry. The love & respect being swapped between 2 human beings in the middle of 68,000 other Metallica fans
And then he spits on them.
@@SniffHeinkel Go to a show for once in your life, get spit cold water on, have an experience
@@BradyA1124 I've been to live performances. Such behavior is frowned upon. At least in the United States. Especially lately, with COVID-19. If you spit on me, you'd lose a few teeth.
That’s a performer. He is 60 and is gracious with the audience and whatever you can say about his drumming, he gives it his all. It shows. That’s passion. You can’t replace that. You can’t fake that.
Love his drum set! He is Awsome drummer!
Hahaha
Hahahahah
i like he's style❤
He's still the man
Yup knew it was going to be yellow with the nickel hardware 👌🤘
Can’t wait to see them in Dallas in August.
Love the way he checks out if cameraman enjoys it
Drummers playing bar shows criticizing Lars in the comments
lol
I'm a drummer that plays bars shows and I still love how he plays.
I was a pub drummer and I reckon he's great 😊
Over the years we have seen white, green, orange, purple, and now yellow!
Yeah the color matches the Seasons 72 album color. Pretty cool, though I personally am not a fan of yellow. 😁
The white is the coolest 😊
@@freddyrock I like the purple kit as well.
I love you Lars❤❤❤❤❤
Ok, I gained alot more respect for Lars. Giving a set of sticks to the service member was all class.
2, 3, 4! Ta-tatatata
Best drummer .....Lars Team!!! great job man
Envious doesn't even come close!!
Honestly hope everyone had a great time!
So to anyone here who says Lars sucks, then my question to you is "what's your excuse?". Why are you not on the stage and in the spotlight like this? Lars is doing it, doing just what he does! Making millions and living a great life.
Dude come on. Objectively this isn’t good drumming
No, he’s totally a legend, but not for masterful drum technique or anything like that. Per technical skill, he’s intermediate at best, but nevertheless, a very successful drummer.
Those who object to statements regarding his poor skill/technique probably aren’t drummers themselves. Not sure he’d even disagree with such statements lol.
@@jareds561 lmao, this guy just called Lars Ulrich "intermediate".
@@jd0879 Bobby Dahl from Poison once said "I didnt become a bass player to be a musician, I became a bass player to become a ROCKSTAR and I DID THAT". Take it for what it's worth. There are many many drummers out there, some better and some worse. On any given night in America somewhere there is a musician honing their craft or playing showing their skills to those who find enjoyment from it. That's what it's all about, in front of the fans, albums sold, and out on the road that's the pinnacle. The rest is all the BS.
Lars's drumming is sad, but true 😅
Like your Bank account
Damn that new kit looks awesome
This song is so so so good . The druming is cool . Metallica rock. 👍👍🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘
sad but true
Love it
The amount of bedroom drummers exposing themselves in the comments by saying his playing sounds off or sounds bad.
It sounds this way to you because you don’t understand how live sound works. You are hearing an acoustic kit from behind the PA in a large open space and also hearing the PA travelling around the room and coming back into the camera behind the kit, that’s why he “sounds off”.
Well done on the self report with that one.
I wish you luck on your gig…when you finally get one.
Jay Dickson, All due respect but Lars is off himself, even has to come off his throne to get back on time, (2:40) if that’s not the definition of off, (waiting fir the beat to come around) I don’t know what is. He is off. It’s ok.
Yellow kit is absolutely banana's
Banana's what? Don't leave us hangin'...
🤘
Как я завидую людям которые по бывали на этом концерте, и так близко возле сцены
Can someone tell me why it feels like 80 percent of people don't like Lars?
Because he’s not a skilled drummer by today’s “youtube influencer musician” standards. That’s literally it and yeah, it’s really petty and stupid. Yes, his style works for Metallica but he’s not the fastest or most accurate drummer so he gets a lot of hate from a musical world that measures a drummer’s worth based on how quickly they can use a double bass pedal or whether or not they play jazz properly… or can do gravity blasts. In a nutshell, the haters lost a sense of what music is all about: having fun.
@@nathanstachelski ouuuu okay.... thank you very much for the answer, I really appreciate it.
You are "timing deaf" if you don't know
@@nathanstachelski hes not skilled considering he has played for... 45 years? Most would assume he would have learn trick or two more in that time.
@@A.S.-ty7rv Some people never do because he has no incentive to. He’s the drummer for Metallica. It’s not like people aren’t going to go to their concerts or buy their music as-is.
I want drumsticks too😭
Got one from him backstage on the 1989 tour 🤘 still got it framed with the signed album, backstage pass & ticket
KFC is right own the street bro
@@bobwreck3775 🤣
Very slick looking drum set, Mr. Ulrich.
Да Ларс красавчик, кто бы что не говорил!!!! Металлика - это кайф!
Tempo is like the ocean.
The haters in the comments are sad 😂
BUT TRUE
@@giovannimunari2321 I’m your truth telling lies
Every muscle movements on his face is the true desire to trigger the snare to ST ANGER DRUM SOUND!
LEGEND ❤
Concidering that Lars is from Nebula 543 in the Qwarigon constellation and perceps time 0,9785 of a hundred of a second faster than anyone else that doesnt make him play out of tempo. The recording microphone does.
😂😂😂
America's greatest rock band
Yes, Scorpions is Germany's , AC/DC Australias, Iron Maoden, brittish
Now I missed his Orange and his purple drum kit but now it's the Yellow kit with the black Snare that's cool. I thought he was gonna use his Black Album drum kit like in the Lux Æterna video but I guess not. But yeah I really missed his Orange and the Purple drum kit.
Lars is the man👊👊👊👊
This is challenging music to play for guys around 60 to play for 2 hrs a night plus they are doing that 2 back to back shows without repeating songs .
Metallica's music endures for a reason because it's awesome.✌️❤️🎵
Was a great show yesterday, enjoyed it
Probably around 60 and still kicking ass!! If you have haters you're definitely doing it right. Hail the Great Dane.
I gotta save up to see them in NY/NJ
Do it
Why are you complaining!!???? Lars is a brillant drummer, he does a great job, I can`t stop to watch him, with 100% fire in his blood 🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
2:19 Ay ay ay!!
2:36
Oh christ,this is hilarious 😂
