      The black album he started to show some of his traits. The pauses, the weirdly timed fills, the in and out of double time instead of a traditional fill. There is some very cool playing on there. It may be simple but no other drummer could have played better on that album

    Every video associated with Lars will bring out all these so called drumming experts. Can he double bass? Yes. Does he always? No. Is there more to drumming than double bass? Yes. He's a good drummer and one of the most influential drummers in his genre. His talent goes beyond playing drums and into producing, writing, composing etc....

      I wouldn't mind as much that he can't play as fast as he used to, if he just tried to stay closer to the originals without making up strange drum fills that don't fit the song.

      Thank you for saying this. There is SO much more than how fast you can do a beat. Some of the best Metallica songs have easy drum parts. This is a sign of quality composition. With the right emphasis that is correctly tied to the music, even a simple beat can be beautiful. Orion. Enter sandman. Etc.

    Dude, Lars can't do 100 BPM without fucking up? Go listen to these
    1. Dyers eve.
    2. Fight fire with fire.
    3. Whiplash.
    4. Damage Inc.
    5. Battery.
    I know there are other drummers who can do faster double bass and even overall faster drumming. Lars said it himself. But its about serving the song. Whether you're soloing, writing, or just fucking around, you can't just whack the drums fast as you can. You post legit reasons why Lars' drumming is bad. But overall, he isn't bad. He's fucking awesome. I don't recall guys like Joey Jordison or Mike Portnoy having caliber songs like Master of Puppets, One, Creeping Death, or Shortest Straw. People don't need to like Lars , say he's the best metal drummer, or play his songs. People need to respect his work as a writer and drummer. I look forward to debate reasons why my favorite drummer is good, bad, or in between. I hope to be fair to all reasons and don't say he's awesome without proof. Long live metallica

    He's nearly 50, he's played over 2000 shows, played around 5000+ hours and who knows how many hours in the studio. He's toured the world relentlessly, written some great lyrics, some of his beats are just sick and to do all of that in a band that is as intense as Metallica...it's just great! Lars may not be as amazing as he was 25 years ago (he admitted so himself) but the guy is a great drummer.

    That Seattle 1989 gig is so goddamn good it's almost unfair to post it here. His performance on Battery was nothing short of legendary. Lars was having the night of his life, even if he was under the influence of smack. However, to overlook his obvious decline post 1993 is silly. Also, remember most recent live DVDs are post-produced to oblivion, so they're not really proof the guy can still pull the good stuff live.

    Double bass, for everyone's information is not an adequate measure of skill in drumming. Period. Speed is one thing, but when you don't really have a unique technique (which lars did at one time sort of have) it really shows. He used to be awesome. He needs to watch old footage or really LISTEN to his old stuff, maybe try to recapture that sound? Idk. I have no idea what the answer is for his now incredibly lack luster, sub-par, shitty sounding drumming. Even the awesome SOUND he used to have with TAMA is gone it seems. I hope it comes back... but it looks unlikely. This is coming from a huge fan and I'm a drummer myself, so tardboys please don't freak.

      people dislike him (including me sometimes and I am a huge fan) because he doesn't play the songs how they are supposed to, he does some unnecessary fills and he doesn't do double bass that much (if he does, it's just in some parts of the song) but whatever man, if i were to go to see metallica, i wouldn't give a horseshit about that and would enjoy the fucking concert

    In Lars' defense, he was a double bass playing drummer at the very beginning of thrash. And at one point did it pretty well. Guys today wouldn't be doing it better if he didn't do it first. That being said, double bass at the speed of a lot earlier Metallica songs has to be continually practiced to be played at the same and tightness, and it's pretty clear that he doesn't. Even back then, he was okay live at best. Once anything physically demanding comes up, his meter suffers instantly. I can't imagine having to play in a band with a drummer like that. James and Kirk have just adapted to it, which is crazy, but they deserve credit for being able to pull that off every night. Aside from the main issue with Lars... changing tempo... during a faster d.b. part or fill he either plays a simplified version of it or he attempts what's on record and you get the "oranges falling down stairs" sound. This, in my opinion is the main reason for his shitty meter. When you are physically struggling to just play a part, you're brain can't do another task as easily because it is occupied trying to pull off the physical half of dumming. Maintaining double bass speed has to be practiced. Playing 2 hour sets every other night on tour will make your stamina great but won't help you play a speed you don't normally play. Lazy. If your only job is to play drums in a band that plays metal and you have two fucking bass drums, you should be able to play your own songs. Those rediculous sticks he uses do not help anything either.

  • @bveracka
    @bveracka 10 лет назад +9

    I really don't care about this conspiracy, all I know is I've had (at least one) drum kit all my life; I've practiced a lot, played my share of gigs, and I've met a lot of great drummers. I like Metallica, but Lars just isn't a great musician. He obviously stopped being passionate about drums and music at a certain point, and since then Metallica's music and PR has suffered. It's sad because there's so many great drummers that never get discovered and we've got this guy in the lime light.

      zac chinevere actually someone gave it a thumbs-up and YOU were suckered into commenting...AGAIN! If you're so keen on hearing what I have to say; Listen man, I LIKE METALLICA! I have the collector's edition of "The Black Album" ..beautiful gatefold case on 120g vinyl because I like it that much. I kid you not. But Lars Ulrich is a shite drummer, medicore at best. My point is that the band could've been so much better with a truly talented and dedicated drummer (one that can at least hack 100bpm in 4/4 without choking). Absolutely no amount of replies, pestering or trolling is going to change my mind on that one. I'm sorry that you're so narrow-minded that you can't even understand why I and many other drummers hold this same opinion.

      @bveracka 9 лет назад

      Tyran Idk whether you're talking about me or that clown "zack chinevere" (or whatever his name is). However it's ironic you mention it because I'm actually muting the posts right now. I certainly have WAY better things to do, but it's fun to watch these kids (sometimes grown men) defend a guy who 1.) they don't even know, and 2.) the guy is a complete asshole; I met him and the verdict is in. Lars is a talent-less, self-centered jerk. What's worse is he is not a good drummer; but of course, true to American way of life, he was one of the most popular, highest-paid drummers for well over a decade.

  • @11STANE11

    @URSSband Yes, the real mp3 doesn't sound good because they don't mix the bass drums very well. Lars doesn't hit the bass drums very hard at all, but he does hit them. The bass drums are much clearer on the DVD because they increase the volume and bass on the drums and add in the triggers. He didn't replay them, they just amplified and cleaned up the sound.

    Bill Ward once said that he loves Lars playing and realy respected him!so....if Lars is good enough for Bill he is good enough for me!He never was the greatest drummer but sure not the worst,he always had very unorthodox style and was very creative,his strange time signatures and sometimes off beat playing always fits to music very well!Im not Metallica fan and not defending him but i thing that "Lars Ulrich sucks"thing became kind of popular today more because people like to shit on everything rather than buy a drum kit and start to learn how to play!it is way easier to sit on your ass and hate Lars drumming!

  • @daoyinyang
    @daoyinyang 12 лет назад

    yeah, he did the double bass way back before anyone did, Also James and Mustaine liked to alternate pick most of their riffs and that's probably why the idea of going just as fast on the bass drum was invented.

    The thing about Lars is that he has great moments, and bad moments. You can't classify him only he his bad moments. Considering not every band/drummer/musician/anyone tours as often as he has in the 30+ years he's been doing it.

    @chestus12 For examples : Creeping Death (10 seconds before James sing "Slaves", there is a break with double bass who doesn't exist in the original sound). Fade to Black (5:46, on the original sound, he really double bass druming 30 seconds later), Cyanide (during the solo, it's not the same beat), One (he plays the same part... so good, but he replayed the part), All Nightmare Long (he played the double bass part later
    I love Metallica, Lars Ulrich, etc... But he's not Lombardo, or Benante.
