The old bassist passed away though. They would have never split with him. Just how they will never split with lars. He might not be that good but metallica wouldn't be metallica without him.
pretty much. They can't get rid of him because he'll sue them. Sadly he somehow got the best contract of any drummer in history.

Just because you play in a bar doesn't mean you can't be an amazing musician. Lars is worse. He's more like a drummer in a high school band just starting out.
LSDP you do realize that when people generally talk about america, they mean the US right? Anyways you’re still kinda wrong, because «America» isn’t even a continent, it’s a collective word for the two americas; North America and South America.
Lars Ulrock except that he was talking about appealing to US patriotism, not “American” patriotism. Canada is in America, but is obviously a different nation with a different culture that have patriotism for their own nation - not the USA. In an effort to sound insightful, he used a useless platitude that wasn’t even applicable to the country they were in. Stop being a needlessly hostile contrarian just because you’re in a RUclips comment section.
I scrolled down to see if there were other comments of this nature. It was his chill, his patience, the display of them just kicking the shit in a garage for shits and giggles that ultimately makes this video. If we could all be this patient, imagine who much better the world would be.
@The Stupid will Inherit the Earth Just listen to anything he did with Infectious Grooves/Suicidal Tendencies and then what he's done with Metallica to see how his talent has been squandered.
I love how James is totally taking the piss out of him at the start with the “That’s all it needs to be is different and then it’s cool” and Lars is just totally taking the bait and has no idea he’s being done 😂
Because you clicked a video that told you Lars was a bad drummer without any sort of comparison. Compared to a lot of drummers in more famous bands he is just as good or better. For example take Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones, do you think he outshines Lars. Nope. Lars is a cry baby and a whinny little bitch but it is unfair to say he just flat out sucks as a drummer. I think he falls into the decent drummer category while people like Mike Portnoy are on a completely different level.
evilcowboy never said he flat out sucks. I said he’s played for many years and progressively got worse. Like if you listen to him in earlier albums or live shows he was fairly solid. Still iffy but now he can hardly keep simple time on songs they have played for years. I’ll say I’ve seen them live and he seemed to do pretty fine. But it just seems like he takes a LOT of rehearsing to get there. And yes he definitely seems like a pain to deal with.
Agree 100%. It has a lot to do with his age and not being in proper shape. The older you get, the harder it is to stay in playing shape. Add to that Lars never had the greatest technique and would always just muscle the notes in. He doesn’t have the conditioning anymore to do that.
Touring all the time doesn't really allow time for practice and self maintenance. Yes, they are playing their songs but there's a difference between practice and performance.
The one and ONLY reason Lars is still in the band is because he owns the rights to the Metallica name. Lars has admitted that he stopped practicing drums in the 90's and boy does it show.
This is definitely also my impression. As a drummer (who by the way, started out as a huge Lars Ulrich fan), I am offended by this shitty attitude. C'mon dude. You don't even have to practise much each day to see improvement
@dump Exactly. That should be the bare minimum. But he just keeps on cutting corners and keeps on cutting corners, and this is why I no longer care about going to a Metallica concert. It is simply too depressing listening to Lars' muddying around.
@@kingmortz not even regular practice. He just needs to practice the fucking songs HE HELP CREATE. After all that Napster money he just didnt care about music anymore. A shame for fans that still love him and the awesome music he create, wich has to keep dealing with his shitty diva attitude.

He’s not a good drummer, but he gets too much slack imo. He definitely has his… bad moments… but all around he at least gets the job done. I really do think people need to lay off Lars at least a bit.

I love how Robert is just so humble and he's just still glad to be in the band so he just doesn't say anything......And maybe smiles occasionally. He doesn't want to intrude. Straight up man of integrity right there. Same with Jason Newstead! Metallica always has bass players that don't want to piss anybody off more than they absolutely have to. Seems that's the way they always end up LOL.
I swear he was on some acid bruh "Know why that's cool, cuz it's different" "That's all it has to be is different! Then it's cool" "And then it's not the same..." "... Right, if it's the same it's not good" "It's impulsive, and it's momentary, and it's living life in the nanoseconds, it... it's freedom. It's America. That right there is freedom in America." "... 2 problems with that... You're Danish, and we're in Canada.."
Yo that actually makes alot of sense when you account for how they had to babysit him through it all. Like Hetfield recapping the issues with him being Danish and in Canada lol
I kind of understood what he meant until James said "Right, if it's the same it's not good" but what the fuck is he trying to say with these last sentences
purplemonkeyelephant bingo. Especially if you’re practicing for hours on in, no need to blow your voice talking over the feed back, hums, random riffs, etc.
@@SonOvThunder Nah, even with the hum and ifb's you don't need to speak into the mics in that small of space. I've been in metal bands for 30 years, that is a sign they don't like each other anymore.
Nah with custom moulded in ears with the max attenuation filters in them you’d definitely have to raise your voices a lot to hear each other. They block a lot. Also neither Hetfield or Lars are gonna wanna mess around putting his in ear out and back in constantly (which would also wear them out more) or blow his voice out shouting all day to be heard.
@@DdraigGoch84 A guy walks into a shop and asks to try a Gibson Les Paul. The shop assistent says "but you're a drummer, right?" "Wow!", says the guy. "how did you know that?" "Easy", says the assistent, "This is a fish shop."

Actually Lars is american, EVERYONE in america has roots sonewhere else, except native americans, and it doesnt matter where they were at the time, Lars said that it reprecents america, not that they are in america. Youre just too stupid to understand it
Damn i feel embarassed. -_- This reminds me of the drummer we had in our flimsy 1 month band, horribly messed up the time signature, fucked up midway , complained all the time , never locked with the rhythm and eventually walked out mid jam session for a hit of weed.

@@aceman42 he's not filipino, he was born in San Francisco. Besides, his mother is filipina, but with that criteria, I could say he's irish, cause his father is.
MrParkerman6 No, you don’t. For one, you clearly don’t know how fucking loud the amps are in there. It’s small room so that makes it even louder. Plus they’re playing shows almost nightly. They’re going to do every single thing they can to save their ears and their voices. Edit: going def doesn’t have to happen instantly. Most people go def over time. Playing stadium shows every night will make def in a matter of weeks if you don’t use protection.
@Noise Injection Justin Ramirez said "your" which shows possession instead of "you're" which is the correct word, a contraction of "you are". Lars Ulrich lost my respect a long time ago when he was bitching about Napster when in the beginning years they were super stoked to share their music
“It’s living life, tsc... in the nano second...” And this is right there why Lars can’t play, the guy is living in another scale of time, the subatomic scale, when we’re not looking he is playing good, but when we look his playing, it doesn’t exist!
matt wilkinson; He probably obsesses over bands like Meshuggah or Animals as Leaders and questions his own existence. Hard to put into words what that must feel like... That’s assuming Lars realizes his own shortcomings, which... may very well NOT be the case. I yield back my time...
Let's take a moment to appreciate Lars genius speech "But then its impulsive and its momentary and its living life in a nanosecond, ya know being free. Its freedom. That right there is freedom. Its freedom, it represents America"
loved Lars for many years, The drums on those records were solid. Lars lost recongnision as a pro player because he stoped learning when fame was reached. He's truly a very un skilled drummer
You know, James went to rehab, straightened himself out, became a little more grounded and humble, yet Lars still acts like a cocky prepubescent child. Props to James and the rest of the band for putting up with it.
RodneyLee I don't detect any passive aggressive-ness? He seems super calm about it all, a bit annoyed in the first clip though. But the second clip, like when Lars says they all sound the same he says "well, they sound different to everybody it's alright" he's super relaxed? He's long used to Lars by now, they've been together for thirty years. He doesn't seem passive aggressive at all
Kork Wahmett You could clearly see in his tone of voice and the way he was smiling/laughing/mocking him with his sarcastic answers to Lars mental gymnastics
James: 2 problems; 1. You're Danish. 2. We're in Canada... I felt Lars's ideal emotion with the band... ...but.. he should have known better. #MetalicaForEver!
Lars Ulrich is a bad drummer for the level he is playing at. He would be a decent drummer for a local band doing club gigs. But at the level Metallica are on and for the prices they charge for live shows he is absolute garbage.
@@steph0maddox He is a very bad drummer for the level he is playing on. But without him as a person they would not be the same band. Also, he was once a very legit Thrash Metal drummer in the 80's and 90's and his skill only degraded since the 2000's. These days he only is a shadow of his former self.
burt turdison hmm I wonder why and yea I’ve been a Metallica fan since the beginning and sometimes he gets hit together I’m a drummer too and I’ve seen way way worse . I’m sure everyone gets a little too messed up to play on tour or maybe did back in the day. Who knows but he’s still hanging in so respect for that and if you’ve seen the crowds they are still pulling in at concerts it’s phenomenal. One of my friends builds the stage for them . I get some great pics cause he’s also a photographer for them
It is humor, it's supposed to be fun and salty, I believe they got bad technique but theyre still the best band in the world. Thanks to hetfield's incredible writing ability
@@guitarvative3145 its much more than just Hetfields writing ability. Lars has equally as much creative input as Hetfield in writing, structure and even riff ideas
Nah theres another clip out there which shows about 10 secs b4 this video starts and Lars is just burnt out on playin the song so much he doesn't want to do it.
I think people need to give Lars a break from some of the criticisms I’ve seen in the comments sections of most Metallica videos. The dude is co-founder of one the greatest speed/thrash/heavy metal bands in the history of music! And, like the rest of us who used to go to purchase Metallica cassettes 30 years ago (at a music store that is now long defunct), time has a way of catching up to you. His reflexes are probably not what they used to be. Think about it, the songs they masterfully created were so unique to anything that had come before and require him to play really, really, really fast! At his age, he probably struggles to keep up, is really sore after each gig and then has to go out and do it night after night after night. I say bravo to him for creating the music in the first place and for trying to keep playing live to follow his passion in life.
His snare pad is the most abused piece of hardware in music history. And his second bass pedal might be the least used piece of hardware in music history. This man is a true enigma
@@blpptkinda like with the Beatles and how Ringo basically relies on the rest of the members singing and playing as like a metronome even more difficult when it comes to live performances because when they performed on the Ed Sullivan show Ringo had to rely on their body movements because he couldn’t hear them
The only reason why Lars is in Metallica all these years and no one can do anything to him is because he was rich as a kid, he founded the band and immediately hired a lawyer to seal the name of the band and everything the band did as his property. Unfortunately, the other members of the band had to put up with him all these years, regardless of all the beautiful things, I can't even imagine spending 40 years with a man like Lars. A rich narcissistic kid who always has something wrong with other instruments, and plays his instrument at the level of a lower middle class drummer.

I love how Robert is just so humble and he's just still glad to be in the band so he just doesn't say anything......And maybe smiles occasionally. He doesn't want to intrude. Straight up man of integrity right there. Same with Jason Newstead! Metallica always has bass players that don't want to piss anybody off more than they absolutely have to. Seems that's the way they always end up LOL.
"They've all got guitars, drums and bass..."
And Justice For All: *cough*
I swear he was on some acid bruh
"Know why that's cool, cuz it's different"
"That's all it has to be is different! Then it's cool"
"And then it's not the same..."
"... Right, if it's the same it's not good"
"It's impulsive, and it's momentary, and it's living life in the nanoseconds, it... it's freedom. It's America. That right there is freedom in America."
"... 2 problems with that... You're Danish, and we're in Canada.."
Wtf was THAT all about, right?!?!?!
Yo that actually makes alot of sense when you account for how they had to babysit him through it all. Like Hetfield recapping the issues with him being Danish and in Canada lol
Whut?
Ryan Lewis eh. I didn’t even notice honestly.
I kind of understood what he meant until James said "Right, if it's the same it's not good" but what the fuck is he trying to say with these last sentences
The way James Hetfield makes fun of Lars really cracks me up.
"They're all simular"
3:00
James is very patient with Lars. I would not be.
he's not professional. He's not prepared. He just shows up.
James: "they got guitar, drums and then bass"
Lars: "bass?"
WHAT HAPPEND TO THAT PART OF THIS VIDEO? I NEED IT
We need full video
The best part about this whole thing is that James is just joking around and Lars gets all philosophical and serious about it😂
Two men five feet apart speaking into microphones.📣
With all the amp hum and the fact that they are wearing earplugs, or in-ear monitors, yes they talk into mics.
purplemonkeyelephant bingo. Especially if you’re practicing for hours on in, no need to blow your voice talking over the feed back, hums, random riffs, etc.
@@SonOvThunder Nah, even with the hum and ifb's you don't need to speak into the mics in that small of space. I've been in metal bands for 30 years, that is a sign they don't like each other anymore.
Nah with custom moulded in ears with the max attenuation filters in them you’d definitely have to raise your voices a lot to hear each other. They block a lot.
Also neither Hetfield or Lars are gonna wanna mess around putting his in ear out and back in constantly (which would also wear them out more) or blow his voice out shouting all day to be heard.
In ear monitors block out exterior sound.
Why is Lars standing out front of your house ??
Because He doesn't know where to come in...
TOP KEK
I knew it was Lars knocking at the door though, because he kept speeding up.

Actually Lars is american, EVERYONE in america has roots sonewhere else, except native americans, and it doesnt matter where they were at the time, Lars said that it reprecents america, not that they are in america.
Youre just too stupid to understand it
Hammet: "we're in America" - Hetfield "we're not in America .."😂😂😂
Damn i feel embarassed. -_- This reminds me of the drummer we had in our flimsy 1 month band, horribly messed up the time signature, fucked up midway , complained all the time , never locked with the rhythm and eventually walked out mid jam session for a hit of weed.
Sounds like a Shane
Don't trust potheads.
Lars is Danish
Robert is Mexican
Kirk is Filipino
JAmes is American. Now thats something Eh!!!
kirk is filipino? u sure about this?

James the most patient leader man i ever seen 😁
Now he is when hes sober but back in the 80s and 90s not so much lol
he used to spit on lars when he mess up back in the day
Except when it came to Jason Newsted🙄
@@jpp9846 key word: "is" not "was" 😂
There is something particularly hilarious about two dudes 4 feet apart using a PA system to talk to each other.
They have things in their ears. They have to use the mics. Plus they would go deaf if they didn't use the things in their ears.
They wouldn't go deaf dumbass. It takes alot more volume to go deaf than people think.
MrParkerman6 You have no idea what you’re taking about.
I know exactly what I'm talking about.
MrParkerman6 No, you don’t. For one, you clearly don’t know how fucking loud the amps are in there. It’s small room so that makes it even louder. Plus they’re playing shows almost nightly. They’re going to do every single thing they can to save their ears and their voices.
Edit: going def doesn’t have to happen instantly. Most people go def over time. Playing stadium shows every night will make def in a matter of weeks if you don’t use protection.

James: there's two problems with that, your Danish and we are in canada
*You're
@Noise Injection Justin Ramirez said "your" which shows possession instead of "you're" which is the correct word, a contraction of "you are". Lars Ulrich lost my respect a long time ago when he was bitching about Napster when in the beginning years they were super stoked to share their music
@@jimmcewen3727 it wasnt just lars... James backed him on that one too. Look up the interview he had with joe rogan.

You wrote what 1000 people wrote before you. You are very creative, bro.
“It’s living life, tsc... in the nano second...”
And this is right there why Lars can’t play, the guy is living in another scale of time, the subatomic scale, when we’re not looking he is playing good, but when we look his playing, it doesn’t exist!
High level science joke😂
Kirk: "It's alright, you've only played it about a thousand times" 2:05
Fock off.

Buljeskara neopevana od "bubnjara". Baca ljagu na zanat.
Soooo true. He is terrible. And Hetfield is about as cool as they come.
He makes his living off playing music
Makes you wonder how someone as epic as Cliff Burton got stuck with Lars as his rhythm section partner.
Lars was good in the 80s he started sucking ass in the early 2000s
Lars just doesn’t practice and is lazy. He can play but chooses the easy road
@@Lopez-my1bo agreed, he was a beast at least in the first 4 records
@@Lopez-my1bo dude he’s had issues since the 80s and wasn’t until the black album where he just said fuck it and completely lost it.

Hey man!
Yup! Who starts a 6-beat with a 4-beat count-in?!?!
This is too good to be true
That American flag with the soviet anthem killed me.
"They all sound similar"...says the guy that literally had a huge say in how each album was made, and had every opportunity to change things up.
And played the exact same drum pattern on every single album.

3:00 I now Lars, that the intro is in 3/4 and you're counting on 4/4s
He must have forgotten his Lars Ulrich (tm) miniature ear metronome that day.
“It all sounds similar” that’s because you do the same god damn drum beat for every song
And yet you cant play it
matt wilkinson; He probably obsesses over bands like Meshuggah or Animals as Leaders and questions his own existence. Hard to put into words what that must feel like... That’s assuming Lars realizes his own shortcomings, which... may very well NOT be the case. I yield back my time...
@@seanmichael8202 Ha ha! "I yield back my time." Total congressional hearing. There should be an investigation into his playing. Shite!!!

loved Lars for many years, The drums on those records were solid. Lars lost recongnision as a pro player because he stoped learning when fame was reached. He's truly a very un skilled drummer
@Dick Trickle Well he owns half of Marin County.
You know, James went to rehab, straightened himself out, became a little more grounded and humble, yet Lars still acts like a cocky prepubescent child. Props to James and the rest of the band for putting up with it.

@@NorthCascades yeah, but thats hard to see.
maybe that's why they are still together eh? they got each other back
I'm noticing more how sweet James is in this video rather than Lars being upset about the drums sounding the same 😂😂😂
James is massively passive aggressive.
RodneyLee I don't detect any passive aggressive-ness? He seems super calm about it all, a bit annoyed in the first clip though. But the second clip, like when Lars says they all sound the same he says "well, they sound different to everybody it's alright" he's super relaxed? He's long used to Lars by now, they've been together for thirty years. He doesn't seem passive aggressive at all
Kork Wahmett
You could clearly see in his tone of voice and the way he was smiling/laughing/mocking him with his sarcastic answers to Lars mental gymnastics
James: 2 problems;
1. You're Danish.
2. We're in Canada...
I felt Lars's ideal emotion with the band... ...but.. he should have known better.
#MetalicaForEver!
That whole conversation was both inspiring and confusing and I'm here for it
the older he gets, the more he both looks like John Lithgow and drums how I would envision John Lithgow playing drums.
John Lithgow might sound better.
Lars Ulrich is a bad drummer for the level he is playing at. He would be a decent drummer for a local band doing club gigs. But at the level Metallica are on and for the prices they charge for live shows he is absolute garbage.
Lars 😂laughing all the way to the bank ... he must not be that bad or I think he wd have been replaced by now. Js
@@steph0maddox He is a very bad drummer for the level he is playing on. But without him as a person they would not be the same band. Also, he was once a very legit Thrash Metal drummer in the 80's and 90's and his skill only degraded since the 2000's. These days he only is a shadow of his former self.
burt turdison hmm I wonder why and yea I’ve been a Metallica fan since the beginning and sometimes he gets hit together I’m a drummer too and I’ve seen way way worse . I’m sure everyone gets a little too messed up to play on tour or maybe did back in the day. Who knows but he’s still hanging in so respect for that and if you’ve seen the crowds they are still pulling in at concerts it’s phenomenal. One of my friends builds the stage for them . I get some great pics cause he’s also a photographer for them
Gets it not hit
I always thought the rest of the band carried him.
007
1:32 someone's saying "coo-coo!" in the background
He cant stay in time when he's live.
Lars is why plenty of Metallica covers can sound "suprisingly" awesome
"That's cool cuz it's different
Cuz then it's not the same"
I thought James was gonna say "if it's the same then it's not different" loll
So this short video is supposed to prove that Lars can't play drums?
It is humor, it's supposed to be fun and salty, I believe they got bad technique but theyre still the best band in the world. Thanks to hetfield's incredible writing ability
@@guitarvative3145 its much more than just Hetfields writing ability. Lars has equally as much creative input as Hetfield in writing, structure and even riff ideas
No. Lars can do that without the video. AND he doesn't know how to tune his own kit! Wouldn't even make a good drum tech.
Nah theres another clip out there which shows about 10 secs b4 this video starts and Lars is just burnt out on playin the song so much he doesn't want to do it.
Guitarservative xD just your opinion
1:12 “cuz then it’s not the same” 😂
Kirk: you're can- , you're Danish
Proceeds to *s* *h* *r* *e* *d*
I love how you had the USSR national anthem over an image of an American flag
I think people need to give Lars a break from some of the criticisms I’ve seen in the comments sections of most Metallica videos. The dude is co-founder of one the greatest speed/thrash/heavy metal bands in the history of music! And, like the rest of us who used to go to purchase Metallica cassettes 30 years ago (at a music store that is now long defunct), time has a way of catching up to you. His reflexes are probably not what they used to be. Think about it, the songs they masterfully created were so unique to anything that had come before and require him to play really, really, really fast! At his age, he probably struggles to keep up, is really sore after each gig and then has to go out and do it night after night after night. I say bravo to him for creating the music in the first place and for trying to keep playing live to follow his passion in life.
Someone with a brain. A rare sight on Metallica videos.
Giving people credit isn't cool or trendy. Easier to shit on one another. SMH
@@dixonbutts800 Indeed so. I'm sure the nobodies in RUclips comment sections know much more than Lars ever would.
Well yeah hes sucked for years.
Was he 60 in the 80's?
His snare pad is the most abused piece of hardware in music history.
And his second bass pedal might be the least used piece of hardware in music history.
This man is a true enigma
"His snare pad is the most abused piece of hardware in music history"
Kirk's wah pedal: You're challenging me?
He's not taking control of the beat like a drummer should, I think he's trying to play along to the guitarists strumming as if it's a metronome.
that’s how his playing has always been, his drumming was symbiotic to james playing
Metallica is unusual in the sense that the band relies on James' rhythm guitar for timing rather than the drummer.
@@blpptkinda like with the Beatles and how Ringo basically relies on the rest of the members singing and playing as like a metronome even more difficult when it comes to live performances because when they performed on the Ed Sullivan show Ringo had to rely on their body movements because he couldn’t hear them
Lars: It's all the same.
Kirk: The notes in between.
disposable drumming
The only reason why Lars is in Metallica all these years and no one can do anything to him is because he was rich as a kid, he founded the band and immediately hired a lawyer to seal the name of the band and everything the band did as his property. Unfortunately, the other members of the band had to put up with him all these years, regardless of all the beautiful things, I can't even imagine spending 40 years with a man like Lars. A rich narcissistic kid who always has something wrong with other instruments, and plays his instrument at the level of a lower middle class drummer.
