I just found your channel and i'm glad I did. I just saw Metallica with Avenged August 4th. Ive seen videos of him losing his timing but live he does it all the time. That and the random obnoxious fills.
I think the best part is the really long outro you do one every Lars video, and not too bad on the editing for those parts either. Lars just can never end a song I swear lmao
I've been waiting for this cover my whole entire life... My loved A7X modern band, My loved oldshool band with Lars, and my drum hero. Fucking awesome, everything in one track. J, see ya in the hell.
Man... This really made me realize how much I hate what Lars' live drumming has become. lol Still seeing them in Dallas for the 7th time. Lol He is a great songwriter and seems like a very cool and intelligent guy though.
Oliver Ortiz Thanks man. I mean, I'm gonna call it like I see it. It does seem like he's at least holding back on the random fills. If you watch Ktulu live from 2011. His drumming is abtsmal in that song because of the constant random fills. This year however, it was pretty solid. Still know he can do better though.
It's fucking amazing how you manage to imitate the lars perfectly, in the way of playing out of rhythm (laughs), in the face, in the posture, you're an expensive genius! I would like to see more covers of A7X
I see your videos everyday man! .. keep up with the good work ! :) .. please if you can make more Megadeth covers like Rust in Peace Medley or something (Nick Menza great drummer RIP ).. and Somewhere in Time Medley...the best of lucks for you
I can understand why you do so many of these videos. They must be fun. Do you just think "Hmmm...How can I take this great song and overplay it in the most tasteless way possible?" LOL XD Love it.
the frayed end of insanity, for whom the bells tolls, sad but true, one, The memory Remains S&m, a dozen Load/Reload fills (the 2x4 one is awesome), there's more, but it's hard to keep track xD
Hi Josh. I have been practicing the drums for a little over a year now. I can play a few ACDC songs and stuff, and I'm now trying to learn some Metallica songs. I think my playing ability is pretty good considering how long I've been practicing, but I don't know how I'll ever get much better than I am now. If you have time to reply to this, I would really appreciate a few pointers on how to get to your level of drumming and what stuff I should be practicing. BTW your videos are awesome.
+big mac cool man! The only thing that matters is practice and time spent behind the kit. Even when I'm not playing I'm playing in my head, tapping or grinding my teeth trying to figure stuff out. Keep going, you'll get somewhere. ;)
now you are the second person ever to use a China for the ride..lol video was so awesome with odd time extremely long snare fills and everything hahaha made my day thanks dude
If you played this song note for note like the original recording, it would still be hail to the Lars. After listening to Islander's new album, I hold the rest of the band completely responsible, Arin Ilejay is an innocent man!
avg895 he kinda said MORE Portnoy but yea lol... I’d like to see either Metallica or Meshuggah (their newer stuff) get Portnoyified or DT get Larsified lol
i love metallica and i think Lars' drumming is awesome. what am i missing here? why are so many people hating on him? im not a drummer myself so i dont know :o

I think we all secretely love lars...
Ivan Vodkaiev ''Everybody Loves Ellien''
Ivan Vodkaiev I totally partially started playing because of kill em all
@@joshthedrumman9487 he was Great on kill em all tbh
No
He made this video for money. And we watching for fun
Already liked it as soon as u hit the chinas I'm like yep that's definitely how Lars would play it lol
Matt Jenkins lmao my thoughts exactly
Matt Jenkins lol same
Matt Jenkins Thats because a ride doesnt exist on Lars kit. lol
Tbh i kinda dig the China in the intro
the fucking inconsistent hitting on the hi hat is killing me
He's saying that because it's funny, the inconsistencies are on purpose. Lars is always off beat.
ok
V Fam Are u obtuse
are you cow?
Hans i cringe while listen to this he fucks with avenged sevenfold and all people who say afterlife leave it avenged okay but not the rev
Well here's some suggestions for u dude, pls do:

Dear Lars,
Unholy Lars,

he actually standed up this time for this new lars video :p
Stood*
Perfectly!
He even has the Lars posture down...
I can see you are standing up while playing! lol Good job!
I just found your channel and i'm glad I did. I just saw Metallica with Avenged August 4th. Ive seen videos of him losing his timing but live he does it all the time. That and the random obnoxious fills.
Yes you finally standing up. Now i wanna see you with a red plastic cup. Ps i really like your lars series. Please do more and dont ever stop
I think the best part is the really long outro you do one every Lars video, and not too bad on the editing for those parts either. Lars just can never end a song I swear lmao
I fucking love that snare
I don't understand why people hate so much Lars... Anyway, nice video, you're so good on play the drum💪👊
Am I the only one who actually likes this in terms of drumming? Maybe I'm just a fan of the way Lars plays. Please don't lynch me O_o
Great as always Josh!
10 points for the no ride cymbal
hehehe just so freaking awesome dude... it was amazing... thanks for sharing and please do more of this Cross Covers dude! lml
100% accurate, you're amazing Josh! Keep it up 👍
I've been waiting for this cover my whole entire life... My loved A7X modern band, My loved oldshool band with Lars, and my drum hero. Fucking awesome, everything in one track. J, see ya in the hell.
HELL.
YES.
but no beanie, so -5 points
OMG, that's was so amazing!
What about a real challenge? Any song from Tool on Lars style!
Exist-Avenged Sevenfold please :D
Man... This really made me realize how much I hate what Lars' live drumming has become. lol Still seeing them in Dallas for the 7th time. Lol
He is a great songwriter and seems like a very cool and intelligent guy though.
Brian Taylor If more people in the metal community was like you it wouldn't be as cringy as it is right now
Oliver Ortiz Thanks man. I mean, I'm gonna call it like I see it. It does seem like he's at least holding back on the random fills. If you watch Ktulu live from 2011. His drumming is abtsmal in that song because of the constant random fills. This year however, it was pretty solid.
Still know he can do better though.
Brian Taylor I'll be there also!
Brian Taylor am not a drummer am leaning about it so I won't critise him, but he is were he is for a reason right?
Robert Williams Sweet! Hope they start playing Spit out the Bone and Here Comes Revenge live by then!
You have the Lars style perfect dude! Just awesome
I lost it when you stood up to hit the tom and china! Definitely Lars now......sad but true
Total Genius!
It's fucking amazing how you manage to imitate the lars perfectly, in the way of playing out of rhythm (laughs), in the face, in the posture, you're an expensive genius! I would like to see more covers of A7X
HE STOOD UP, I REPEAT, THE MAN STOOD UP AND DID THE THING. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER
I died of laughter when you stood up lol. Great video!
I see your videos everyday man! .. keep up with the good work ! :) .. please if you can make more Megadeth covers like Rust in Peace Medley or something (Nick Menza great drummer RIP ).. and Somewhere in Time Medley...the best of lucks for you
you make laugh hard!!! you are amazing drummer!!! also how the fuck you do that!!!!????? you do also the body stance not only the playing!!! great!!!
I can understand why you do so many of these videos. They must be fun. Do you just think "Hmmm...How can I take this great song and overplay it in the most tasteless way possible?" LOL XD Love it.
+Tyler Bailey Exactly! Its quite liberating
This is great stuff Josh. ..Bravo
Love your vids bro!!
haha man your covers are so brilliant!
i fucking died laughing when i got the notification for this lol
Standing up while playing the china was the highest Larsism
the frayed end of insanity, for whom the bells tolls, sad but true, one, The memory Remains S&m, a dozen Load/Reload fills (the 2x4 one is awesome), there's more, but it's hard to keep track xD
+Paulo Saffioti you know your Larsisms
Lars is out of hand with the damn cymbal fills. Nice video my friend!
standing up was a really nice touch
My Fantasy band :D

Hi Josh. I have been practicing the drums for a little over a year now. I can play a few ACDC songs and stuff, and I'm now trying to learn some Metallica songs.

4:42 2x4 maybe? :b
+Moonmen's Workshop right on. Wink wink trivia
You've got Lars down perfect!!!!!!
You over-do it so much, it's awesome. It's almost perfect
now you are the second person ever to use a China for the ride..lol video was so awesome with odd time extremely long snare fills and everything hahaha made my day thanks dude
this is your best lars impression for sure (y)
The Lars step away! Classic!
As usual your Lars impression is spot on!!!! LOL..
I think this is your best Lars videos to date.. Well done sir.
I FUCKING LOVE IT
I was expecting a few Chinas in the intro. Not disappointing You really know how to fulfill someone's expectation
If you played this song note for note like the original recording, it would still be hail to the Lars. After listening to Islander's new album, I hold the rest of the band completely responsible, Arin Ilejay is an innocent man!
Do more Sevenfold but with Portnoy's style please, you play like him, and Sevenfold needs more Portnoy :3
diesitreinta That's called the Nightmare album :P
avg895 he kinda said MORE Portnoy but yea lol... I’d like to see either Metallica or Meshuggah (their newer stuff) get Portnoyified or DT get Larsified lol
Once again. Best ride i've ever seen
I love him l love the snare and everything 😍😍😍😍😙
this is amazing ✊✊
That was great man! And all the comments about his hair, give the guy a break, looks like he is growing his hair long, the struggle is real....
Plus, you should have added the only sustaining double bass rhythm he knows, he used it on every song in Hardwired
I doubt there's anybody else in the Multiverse who imitates Lars better.
Love it!
THE ACCURACY
I always was irked by the way Lars plays his hi hats on these sort of mid tempo numbers.
Still sounds better than me trying to drum A7X.
Dude I love these Lars ones!!! Ulrich was the main guy that got me into drums and my ear is forever tuned for this type of shit lol
700th comment: in your larsing, youve put lars to creative shame once again...
He already plays this, it's called Sad But True.
Buckshot Jones fu k up
Justin Linches Oh god....get over it.
More like until it sleeps
Umm what?
SkorpionPlays - Destiny Making a joke about how much the Hail To The King album sounds like the Black album.
Dude, you're fucking genius!
+Bebetto TheNinjaDrummer ;)
Man your Lars impression is SOOO GOOD I just hysterically laugh during the entire song. It's so funny how choppy the style is on non-thrash stuff
he stood up and everything just like Lars LMAO too good man lol just like him
the never ending ending got me hahaha
Couldn't finish watching. And I'm high.
Excellent job.
Ladies and Gentlemen !!! this video probably defines drumming. !!!!!
Bet my drumming class teacher jaw drops (It did)
Love these videos. They're great.
The only thing is you have to mess up every few seconds to truly creat the Lars feel.
2 and 4'ing sounds so akward with a China but it adds up to 10/10 enough China. Great Larsing.
I am truly dying here! It's as if you've channeled the Lars....
Don't know how u managed to make even Lars look good, but you did!
Please do "The Wicked End" off City of evil. That would make my day. You rock.
When I wake up sad in the morning, I remember that Lars still rich playing drums this way and I stand up with a piece of hope
i love metallica and i think Lars' drumming is awesome. what am i missing here? why are so many people hating on him? im not a drummer myself so i dont know :o
I've rem trying to learn this song since it freaking came out!! its just so off beat I can't get it DX well done Josh.
cover some of Death songs next time will ya? "The Philosopher" would be a nice start ;)
DAFUQ IS THAT SNARE.. Beautiful...
Really Awesome
Every time i watch these lars impression vids i just think of the live shit album 😂 great stuff dude 🤘
no ride of course good kick sound and nailed it bro
Josh Steffen. The crisix band is very good, make covers for this band
Oh yeah! Finnaly a Avenged Sevenfold Lars video. Great man!
This might be my new fav video by you lmao
Hi man your videos is awsome! Can you make a video and talk about the double pedals how to set up and tips and tricks
Have a nice day from sweden!
+André Nilsson I have something coming about double bass
