In 2003 Metallica would release their much maligned album St. Anger. The band had gone through a tumultuous time during the making of the record with frontman James Hetfield leaving the group to attend rehab to deal with substance abuse issues. A lot of the turmoil was captured on the 2004 documentary Some Kind Of Monster. A year after the album was released the band was out on tour in Europe during the summer playing their own shows and headlining a variety of festivals across the continent. At one gig in the UK drummer Lars Ulrich was a no show leaving the band in a difficult position. Do they cancel the gig or get someone to fill in? That’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.
On June 6, 2004 Metallica was set to headline the Download Festival, the UK’s biggest metal musical festival. The band had previously played Lisbon Portugal and were on there way to the UK when MTV would report that the band’s drummer Lars Ulrich was feeling under the weather, without disclosing the cause or the symptoms. Ulrich would take a detour to Germany to receive medical treatment while his bandmates headed to the UK. This wasn’t the first time Metallica dealt with illnesses or injuries that jeopordized their live gigs. 4 years earlier in 2000, frontman James Hetfield would suffer a slipped disc and the band had a revolving lineup of singers including Kid Rock and Korn’s Johnathan Davis. Then 8 years prior Hetfield would suffer serious burns to his arms during the group’s co-headlining tour with Guns N’ Roses resulting in John Marshall of Metal Church playing rhythm guitar for a handful of gigs while Hetfield was limited to vocal duties.
Download Festival organizer andy copping would recall Metallica’s infamous gig in 2004 writing on Instagram “Download 2004. The year where there was a no show from Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. I remember receiving a call telling me to go backstage where I was given the news,”
“There were two choices a) do Metallica cancel? or b) do Metallica convince other drummers on site to fill in? I suggested they cancel because I just couldn’t see b) happening, particularly as quite a few drummers that were asked said no.”
Loudersound would publish a piece by writer Alexander milas who was in attendance at the festival that year and recalled that after word spread of Lars being a no-show rumors spread amongst those in attendance about what happened. He would write “I heard Lars Ulrich jumped out of a helicopter as it was landing and disappeared into the crowd,” one allegedly in-the-know label executive tells me with all the severity of a news anchor between JD-and-Coke burps.
Other theories circulating the sardine-packed backstage bar range from death to, even worse, Lars’s departure from the band. ” he’d write.
Metallica weren’t going to let their fans down and as part of their 2004 european tour Slipknot was their opening act and Slipknot that night was also scheduled to play ahead of metallica’s headlining spot at the uk festival.
To salvage the show band would spend several hours rehearsing with several drummers from bands who were playing on the bill that night including Slipknot SLayer and Lars own drum tech. The idea that night was for several drummers to help Metallica make it through their live show. The band would show up an hour late to their gig with frontman james hetfield informing the crowd of what was happening that night. Slayer’s Dave Lombardo would perform battery and the four horseman, while Joey Jordison of Slipknot would perform a majority of the songs in the set playing creeping death, seek and destroy, for whom the bell tolls and the last 5 songs of the set. Jordison while wearing his slipknot mask would play 8 of the 11 songs Metallica performed that night. Ulrich’s drum tech fleming Larsen would sit in with the band performing fade to black. Jordison would be hailed as the hero of the day (no pun intended), but Dave Lombardo also played an important part in the events that day. Lombardo’s time with Metallica went back over two decades recalling to Loudersound first hearing the band “

Rest In Peace Joey Jordison, you were a true one-of-a-kind drummer that is so versatile and purely put every ounce of blood, sweat and tears, you are dearly missed by hard rock/metal commmunity!
Right on. Rip Joey.
And Lars Ulrich was his IDOL.
Honestly, I loved .5 but I feel like once Paul died and they fired Joey, they lost their soul. To some degree at least. Sleep well Joey, and never know pain again brother. Send Paul, Dime, Vinnie Paul, And Hanneman my love.
Agreed but he looked so short in that picture lol
The fact that Joey Jordison was in a Metallica cover band must've made the the Metallica camp breathe a sigh of relief. It's one thing knowing the songs but to have actually played them over and over in a band setting is another. Muscle memory makes a difference.
Dave will always be my favorite Thrash Metal drummer dude is crazy amazing
Dave is such a nice guy. Got to meet him long ago.
Yeah I met him after a dead cross show and he signed everyone's merchandise
I wanna know WHO said NO?!?
I met Dave at the drum off in LA. He's the best person ever.
He use to live in my city years back. Victorville CA. Met him once even if only for a couple minutes.
Same here. He introduced to me to his fiance Paula in 2016. He walked up to me at the bar just to shoot the shit. They're now married
Dave is a cool guy. In the early 2000s I met him in Victorville CA at a little club where bands were playing. We only talked a few minutes but was very humble and cool as hell. One of my favorite drummers as well.
I saw Dave Lombardo play with Suicidal Tendencies back in 2016 ...... He fing Killed It !!!!! Awesome Drummer 👌.
Joey Jordison and Dave Lombardo had something in common that Lars doesn't: they never stopped working on their craft. Real artists don't let success get in the way of becoming better. If you're serious about your craft, you're always trying to get better. Danny Carey is a better drummer now in his 60's than when I first saw him for the Undertow tour.
I somewhat agree but Lars got burned out from the justice tour. The psychological health of most of the band kept getting worse during this era as grieving for Cliff became more apparent. AJFA album was a coping mechanism for Cliffs death... That album is the heaviest and most political album Metallica has done. And because of it James doesn't like getting political anymore. During or maybe after the black album thats when they were getting heavy on their drug abuse.... Which Lars has admitted has affected his drumming
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo So you're making the excuse that lars has been burned out for THIRTY FKN YEARS and that's somehow acceptable? LMAO NO. No it's not.
I disagree. Lars reminds me of Ringo. He’s a drummer songwriter . He’s also the producer. He’s a different vein than the other drummers. Technically, he’s a not at the same level. But musically, he’s on top. All I need is Dave’s words:
: "I think Lars is a good drummer. He's a good arranger. He arranges… Without Lars, there wouldn't be a METALLICA. So you have to give him credit for what he does for the band."
@@rgdec74 without Dave Mustaine, there wouldn't be a Metallica. Dave wrote half their first album, without his songs, they wouldn't of had enough material to make their first album, and might've missed their shot. Dave was replaced and the band went on to be fine. Lars could've been replaced after their first album and they'd of gone on to be fine. James and Kirk at the ones coming up with the riffs, Lars just chimes in on which riffs go where. It's not like he's a Michael Romeo and composing all the music himself.
@@twiggsherman3641 True but irrelevant to the conversation. Joey and Lombardo are claimed that as artist they continue to develop their technique while Lars did not because of his success. My response is to that topic. The history of Dave Mustaine is irrelevant. The riffs and music are made up by Kirk and James, however, the arrangements include Lars. He is intricately involved with the arrangements and production of the music. The are many examples of this but the biggest ( just because of its popularity) is Enter Sandman. The riffs came from a Kirk Hammett recording. The arrangements was by Lars. Lars may not have developed lightning speed. Maybe he lost some of that mojo. Still, he developed his craft for producing and arranging. Cool stuff and interesting point of view about Metallica moving on without Lars. Again because of his involvement of arranging and producing, I would disagree. Thats another topic for a different post. Cool man.
Just saw him live a month ago playing for Testament, they were perfection.
LoVe Testament....,"Look at the lost souls! they're bleeding so black!" Describes our world leaders perfectly ,even now.
Testament=my favorite metal band, and Lombardo rejoining really gives me hope that they will finally continue where The Gathering left off!!! Dave help with that album a lot.
Testament are great and have had so many great musicians in their band over the years with Chuck and Eric being the 2 mainstays.
Testament have the best thrash metal musicians in the world today. Certainly the best two thrash metal drummers in Gene and Dave.
@@rushshukla4636 Yeah. Seeing Alex Skolnik and Dave Lombardo on stage together was like being at the pantheon of metal lords. Skolnik looks and plays like a metal god.
To Lars' credit, I had a few panic attacks once. Leading up to the first time it happened, I wasn't mentally freaking out or anything. One moment it was just a other normal day, and in literally 5 seconds I felt like I was having a literal heart attack. When I arrived to the hospital my blood pressure was 147/205, heart rate was 170. One of the strangest and painful/uncomfortable things ever. I can't imagine having that happen while being stuck on a plane flying across Europe.
Same happened to me... But on the Highway... Me driving the car...
😢
It's when it happens the first time that's the most terrifying. Afterwards, when you realize you're only mentally affected you can cope with it. But most importantly, if it did happen there must be a reason to it, so one must focus on a healthier life style, otherwise panic attacks will keep happening and in time will turn into a physical illness.
Dave Lombardo is an amazing and one of the best universal drummers EVER!!. Legendary!! #Slayer #SuicidalTendencies #Testament
#hashtagsarecringe #pleasestop #sorry
I'm incredibly amazed how drummers can just fill in at the last moment, and for Metallica, of all bands
Lars is easy to stand in for. Most of what he plays is standard 4/4. I was lucky enough to be there that night and it was amazing to see Metallica with incredible drummers.
@@manupbritain5232 you forgot a lot of snare
Must've missed the part where lots of drummers declined to fill in. But totally awesome that Lombardo and Jordison stepped up
Most metal drummers grew up play Metallica
If they only could have kept up with Dave 😂
if only you stfu, lombardo is better off in slayer, testament, suicidal tendencies, and the misfits than Metallica
Dave fit in perfectly, and Joey (RIP) did a hell of a job, even going as far as adding a bit of slipknot style drumming.
He should replace lars
@@danielvanpoppel333 no he shouldn't lombardo is not Metallica neither is jordison
@@trendmassacre8423 no they didn't, they overplayed it, they are not Metallica their better off in their own projects than Metallica
If you're in Metallica and Lars Ulrich isn't around, there is only one thing you can do: RUN . Run and never look back! With any luck, he will never find you.
Whenever I hear this story I have to watch the concert on RUclips lol Battery and Creeping death is pure metal bliss with Dave and Joey on the kit 🤘🏼❤️
As usual, Tom Araya has the best take of everybody. "Dave has a tendency to play fast. Metallica played faster with him. They sounded alot more of like what Metallica should sound like..." lol
No they didn't, dummy, they sounded overplayed because lombardo overplayed and lacked dynamics
Every band would sound better with Lombardo and every band would sound worse with Lars
Lars is an anchor, Dave is a quarter horse.
@@Miist3rDuce1 lacked dynamics? Did you hear the double bass in Battery?
St. Anger is one of my faves. Raw, unadulterated power
Agree, couldn't care less about the haters
For me, Dave Lombardo is the best drummer in metal of all time. Period. So Lars kicking it up to him by saying that really makes my day and makes me respect him (Lars) as a person more. I've had a lot of different thoughts about him as a person over the years but in Metallica I think I have to admit he's the one who started the band and he's been the visionary in terms of crafting their albums to be more dynamic and epic as opposed to just making collections of great songs. The band that makes collections of great songs to me is Megadeth and I do now and always have liked them better. Still, I can't deny the scale and scope of albums like Master of Puppets.
Master of puppets to me was a big drop in quality compared to RTL. To me It felt less like they were trying to make a good album and more focused on outdoing the previous album if that makes any sense. Like they were so focused on making a bigger grander album they forgot what actually made RTL so good.
@@mistertagomago7974 Oh, absolutely. There is a note of conservatism rather than actually pushing forward on Master of Puppets. I think they played faster and better but if you ask me the songwriting was at its strongest on Ride the Lightning even with a few notable lyrics I've objected to over the years.
Ride the Lightning has what I consider to be their best song in "Creeping Death" (also their strongest lyrically, BTW- a very good telling of the book of Exodus which happens to be the name of Kirk's old band) whereas one of their worst songs is on Master of Puppets with "Damage, Inc." which is just an inferior version of "Battery" also on that album. And ending Ride the Lightning with "Call of Ktulu" was obviously a lot better than Master of Puppets's ending. It was a master stroke on their part to end Ride the Lightning that way and Cliff's "lead bass" throughout the song is a testament to behold.
And of course props to Mustaine for writing that. I don't know what you should think of as a person but as a songwriter the guy is almost unbeatable.
@@VolvoImpala Creeping Death is my favorite Metallica song along with Fade to black. And yeah I never thought about that but Damage inc really is a weak ender. Wonder why they ended it with that instead of Orion. Either way I dont dislike Master of puppets but theres this feeling of this should be way better to me. Unfortunately imo they've mostly gone downhill from there.
I love Dave Mustaine as a music artist. I've never had any strong opinions on him as a person, but I would hang out with him given the chance.
@@mistertagomago7974 He just has this nasty habit of talking trash about literally everyone who ever was fired from Megadeth. It's unprofessional at best but since he's the assh*le in common in all of these exchanges and many of the named vehemently deny what he's accused them of I completely believe them. Jeff Young, for example, says he never hit on Mustaine's fiance at the time.
By the way on the album prior to Jeff Young's tenure in the band there was a song called "Wake Up Dead" about Dave Mustaine committing infidelity. I mean talk about zero self-awareness. Does he even think to shut his f*cking trap at any time in his life? Even Kerry King can't understand how anyone can possibly work with him and I thought Kerry King was the biggest assh*le in metal before he said that.
But if even he's saying that? Forget about it. It's Dave Mustaine all the way. No contest. I can see exactly why Metallica sh*tcanned him and James has to keep telling him to shut the hell up about Metallica. And "Fade to Black" is their first and most important power ballad to me because of the acoustic guitars and the fact that they didn't speed up the tempo when things got heavy. I can see them doing that to keep things thrash on "Sanitarium" and "One", but "Fade to Black" was specifically made to be different and to that end it's been their most successful. And the tune itself is just plain great. So I totally agree with you on that being one of their best.
@@mistertagomago7974 I go back and forth between RTL and MOP. I think MOP they were at their apex musically. Maybe it’s nostalgia- I’m 50 and first 4 Metallica albums is where I cut my teeth playing guitar. I still down pick 90% of the time 😅
Rest Easy Joey!!! Man I know that night he played with Metallica had to be incredible!!
At least Lars acknowledged Dave as "the greatest drummer on the planet." Truth.
Lombardo made Metallica sound amazing that night
Joey Jordison saves the day, along with Dave Lombardo. There fixed it.
And the drum tech
Fr fr
Exactly Joey playing right after his slipknot set and playing that many songs is so much more impressive.
@@JohnnyGingy no. Nothing is more impressive in metal drumming than Dave. Sorry.
In all seriousness, it is really badass that he did that. It’s a lot to keep in your head - especially stuff you don’t play/practice all the time. He’ll be missed.
That was a different video this channel made months ago lol.
Dave's doing a great job on The Misfits reunion shows
I was there!
Download 2004 was not only my first major festival, but it was also the first time I saw Metallica.
The whole performance was amazing, but Joey stole the show.
Joey and Dave killed it. I wasn’t surprised, they are great drummers. RIP JOEY.
So cool that they could come together wen it matters love that story
it's always great when musicians r willing to help other bands. i don't think i've ever heard dave play but i respect him for being willing to help. i really only clicked on the video to hear about joey though. good video. thank you.
Rest in peace Joey you are awesome man and Metallica I couldn't imagine being on the drums looking to my left Hatfield to my right Mustane, that would just freaking blow my mind besides I'm playing drums with Metallica
Dave can drum circles around Lars any day!
👍🤘
So could that chick from the White Strips.
@@daBEAGLE1017 no she couldn't
@@Miist3rDuce1 nahhhhhhh, really?
Not true. Dave got better and is amazing. But in the early days he was just fast and didn't really have a pocket or groove and it shows. Reign in Blood is sloppy as hell. Lars on the other hand had a super tight groove and great feel, and was always perfect in transistions, over time though he has gotten sloppy.
Lombardo ,hands down, is and will always be the greatest metal drummer ever! \m/-_- You should hear him with Suicidal Tendencies! Insane! Him and Rocky absolutely killed it! And Muir still hits his notes and unheard of energy!……….
i wish i could see them
Is Dave any good with Misfits?
Anyone who was there will have fond memories of the epic bottle fight that took place during the delay waiting for Metallica to hit the stage!
I was there as a bright-eyed 17-year old kid. I was a Slipknot fanatic at that point and had gone to Download specifically to see them (they hadn’t long released Volume 3) and Korn play. Slayer were good - also good to see Damageplan - 6 months later Dimebag was shot.
I digress, the musical landscape was a bit different back then. While Slipknot had made massive inroads into the scene by this point, they were far from the festival-headlining behemoth they are today. In 2004 they were a mid-afternoon band. It’s weird to think, but back then, Slipknot were on the more extreme end of the metal spectrum. You wouldn’t have taken a kid to one of their shows. They were ferocious maniacs which scared the parents of young metalheads.
It was marvellous to see Metallica play with competent drummers and a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle to see my then-favourite drummer (Joey Jordison) with them. Great memories.
Real up-to-the minute news. Excellent.
Dave did a great job but, Joey was the real hero that day.
Nailed it. Thank you.
Not really. You could tell the style difference between Joey and Dave. Dave is old school thrash. He was powerful and didn't overdo it. Joey was obviously an amazing drummer, but he overplayed his parts, he tried to make Metallica sound like Slipknot and it was just off. Dave on the other hand, best performance of Battery ever.
I respect him a lot and he was a great drummer but Joey added too much double bass which kinda killed the flow of the song for me, at least Dave played it somewhat closer to the album version.
Joey did the heavy lifting for sure. What everyone remembers though was Lombardo behind the kit for Battery. Read the comment section for that video here on YT 😀
@@redrumloa I love Slayer and no disrespect to Dave but nah~ I only remember Nathan (Joey) putting Lars to shame on Lars' own drum kit. Just saying
Crazy because there was probably 100's of people in the audience that could play every song.
Joey and Dave are absolute LEGENDS.
Marshall with that Sweet Blind Illusion shirt...
Rip to joey.
I love the quote where the guy basically says he would prefer Lars die over him leaving the band alive.
2:28 How could Lar's departure from the band be considered the worst thing to happen?
"Rumors from death, to even worse, Lars's departure from the band."
So Lars dying wouldn't be as bad, as him leaving the band? Got it. 😂😂😂
I thought the same thing. The asshat narrator should be fired. He's done so many things that bug me. I usually don't watch this channel unless i see a video title that catches my eye and don't pay attention to the channel.
Love Dave...great vid
.🤘🤘🤘👊👊♥️♥️😎✌
I've seen most of your content and catch up when I can. But I really feel like this could have been a 2 parter. There was more than enough to focus on Dave and more than enough to give Joey a full video. While I can't speak for the fan base I think connecting deep dives would be a great idea for building your channel.
I was there maaaaaaaannnnnn. Prior to their set, the crowd was awash with flying bottles; truely an exceptional sight.
Think it might've also been Dimebag's last UK gig with Damage Plan :(
I watched them play Battery with Dave Lombardo live yesterday as a RUclips suggestion. It was amazing.
Funny. It dropped in my recommends yesterday as well. Banging on Lars has been a trend that has never interested me much however they sounded incredible with Dave Lombardo. It’s a stark reminder of the impact a great drummer can have on a band.
Crazy stuff
Dave Lombardo is such a classy stand up guy.
Joey played more songs than Dave the headline should be the night Dave & Joey saved Metallica.
Great video.
The night Joey Jordison saved the performance ... along with Dave Lombardo. Both awesome drummers.
I was there with 10s of thousands of others. great show great to see these guys step up!
Joey and Dave were and are monsters behind the kit. Lars was missing but not missed as it turned into something special......... remember kids know your limits with the devils dandruff or you may lose your job!
Dave CRUSHED it. I would love to hear Dave as Metallica's full time drummer.
I swear bro these are the most low effort, lazily put together videos, and I don’t know why I keep watching them
I was there , such an epic show , was reported straight after that Lars had a panic attack on the plane prior to the show , glad I saw this one, the rumours in the crowd are rubbish , no one had a clue until the band came out and announced and it wasn't long after they took the stage finally , so incorrect there as I was literally in the centre 😉, Joey absolutely made that show R.I.P.
20 Years later and I think St.Anger became some Kind of a legend of its own. Its special, one of a Kind. Its raw, emotional and it was a mainly for them, to Fix their Issues and put every bit of that Anger into something. Yeah, Snare is Obnoxious, but it has so many absolute bangers and it became one of my favorite albums of Metallica
Joey was great. He was the only drummer who did a great job stepping in for David Silveria as well.
Joey playing Creeping Death at this gig is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Fuck MS
🤘🧙♂️🤘
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
No it wasn't he overplayed it
Very nice
I WAS THERE, IT WAS SICK
actually when james slipped his disc it was Jason pretty much all the time and he was fucking great singer, never realized it till then. James would go off stage for like 3-4 songs while jason took over
If only they had toured together (yes i know that they toured with Megadeth & Anthrax as a part of the big 4, but if Metallica & Slayer had toured together)
Joey did most of the set.
I don't get why people downplay Joey's role in the show.
Because Dave made them sound better. Joey sounded like a fill in. Like the entire set they played that night is not good other than the Dave songs
It isn't about the volume of songs, nor is it about the capability of the drummer. Joey was an amazing drummer.
But Joey played Lars, Dave played Dave.
This was the time of St. Anger a less than well received album and after coming off the divisive load/re-load albums. So having a drummer that is changing it up is why he is being given more credit
They already did a video that focused on Joey. I assume who you focus on more depends on if you like Slayer or Slipknot more.
Dave definitely took that show in different level! in fact, anyone can replace Lars, no pun intended.
That first picture at the end of Joey playing with James, thats totally Clown on the floor behind him with the camera.
Joey was the 🐐 saving Metallica .RIP
He overplayed it
This was fucking epic. JOEY KILLED IT. RIP
Anyone can replace Lars - but Lars cant replace anyone
dave lombardo a great drummer🤘
That thumbnail looks like it should read "The Night Dave Lombardo attacked Metallica “ 😂
I was there 😁
Joey!!!!!!
Rip joey. Ure the best.
Dallas Tx GnR Metallica concert. I think it was the one immediately after theMontreal incident. That night it was GnR's turn to close. But since I was a nut for Metal Church, I thought John Marshall kicked ass! James had a stool to sit on and wore a baseball cap and drank beer in a dry county, none of us had any
Axl pitched a bitch in the middle of November Rain and stopped the show about 15 min. All in all it was a good show, but who kicked ass and sounded the best? Mike Patton and Faith No More.
Awesome!!
What’s with the blurred parts?
Tom Araya said it all... said it all...
I was there in 2004 🙋🏻♂️
😎🎸🎶
Title should be; "The Night Dave Lombardo Played Metallica songs better than Lars with a few hours notice"
Seriously I never heard Battery sound that good. Just hilarious Dave did it better over Lars who had 20 years of playing it
I heard Battery sound that good, but it was during the Master of Puppets tour and Cliff was still alive, but since then...nah
@@williamjosephdunn5879 Lars was better years ago but never was able to replicate Lombardo's double kick drum technique.
"That one night metallica had a good drummer" -there ya go, fixed the title lol
no not fixed idoit, it should say the one night that Metallica suks with different drummers
RIP Superball
I was there, the atmosphere was getting pretty heavy, I told a crowd what had happened to lars, he had disappeared up his own arse!!!
Wasn't the same without Lars. Lars is awesome!
Dave and Joey are way way better a drummer than Lars could ever hope to be!! Fact!!
@@paulhabrelewicz5226 Lars' strong points nowadays are in songwriting and composition. I agree that Lars isn't really on top of his game anymore, but have you ever heard the isolated drums from Dyers Eve?
Lars fits Metallicas sound perfectly but by no means is he a great drummer.
Lars needs a click track. I can't stand listening to their sped-up versions of song when live.
@@paulhabrelewicz5226 lombardo and jordison are better off in their own projects than Metallica, also a fact
Imagine saying no to playing drums with metallica
I just have to say death is way worse than leaving a band!!!!!
This story is how many years old now
The way I understand it Dave only played two or three songs,not more. the other drummer one and Joey played the rest of the set. It was more like Joey Jordison saved that day.
I was there that year, was a great show
A year before metallica played a secret set in a tent at download festival, in 2004 they had another secret band, a lot of rumours going around that it was motley crue being the secret band, instead of motley crue they got funeral for a friend
No idea why they went to metallica to FFAF
Got my ticket for next years download already l, rumours going around metallica playing for 2 days
why the heck does this video blur out from time to time. WTH...LOL.
Copyright issues 😞
14 in-laws will mess you up every time.
"Metallica sounded more like Metallica should sound like" - That's an understatement.
No it isn't dummy, they are better off in their own projects than Metallica
@@Miist3rDuce1 Que?
I think you posted this already
No that one was about Joey Jordison
Joey...
😪
Would it really be that hard to replace Lars, god love him?!?
Who all wishes they would have kept Lombardo?
If they only would of Kept Dave Lombardo in Metallica as their Drummer.
They could have gotten Animal from The Muppets to fill in also.
Lars should've felt nervous when Dave Lombardo played with Metallica. Lars is a kid at the beach banging on a plastic bucket compared to Dave. Lars is fortunate he's a core contributor to the band's overall artistic vision. It certainly isn't for his drumming skill.
Makes me wanna tamahawk some zildjians.
Should have switched the title. Joey Jordison saved Metallica since he did most of the songs
Should've been nothing
..i read a comment from another post that Lars should rather retire ang manage Metallica and let Dave Lombardo play for them.
This might have been worthwhile... I made the mistake of seeing Metallica live once... worst gig I have ever been to.. no energy, just dull. (Load/re-load era) then St. Anger, at that point I just gave up on the band. Still love all the albums up to Black and there are some great tracks on load/re-load.
@Matt YT, was the show you caught recent or many years back? I don't want to waste the cash if the band's heart ain't in it anymore & the crowd can tell.
@@twistoffate4791 it was late 90's on the load/re-load tour.
If you do go, I hope you enjoy it :)
@@twistoffate4791 I've been to gigs of other big bands (besides Metallica) that weren't bad by any stretch, yet on the night I just wasn't 'feeling' it, for whatever reason.
Having seen Metallica twice (2010 and 2013), my only regret is that I didn't go to see them in earlier years when there was the opportunity Edit : And can't wait to see them again!
