Lars is no guitar player. He doesn't speak guitar lingo, but through grunts, rough sign language, and body language, he manages to find a common language with everyone in the room. As shown in the other "Making of the X Album" DVDs, Lars is very hands-on throughout the entire process. Very cool.
+Le Tigidou You’re wrong; it’s not off topic. Burn Blister uses guitar communication as an example but then says, “Lars is very hands-on throughout the entire process.” What right don’t I have to take “entire process” to mean the entire album making process? Lars sees the big picture; he often has the vision that the others don’t. That covers every aspect of the process including, as you say, “What’s good or bad on guitar.” Sorry, James’ and Kirk’s guitar playing ideas are subject to the greater Metallica vision which, as demonstrated in just about every Metallica documentary ever, Lars typically has a better grip on. Therefore, if Lars had abandoned that and just “focused more on his drumming”, then a major source of vision for the band would have been lost. That same vision which has caused them to be such a dominant force in metal music.
@@DM-rc4yuInamorata had to be the best song on the album but could you imagine if it was written back in ‘84 when Cliff was still alive doing crazy shit like in rtl and anesthesia
There’s like demos and stuff like that, small clips from those times but not full fledged ones like this, so missed out, but I guess they never thought the process would be so interesting to people
This is where Lars really shines, in the studio. He might not be the best drummer out there, but damn, just look how much dedication he puts in the work that is done in the studio. He's definitely the machinery that keeps Metallica going,
The man drums his god damn ass off in the studio so we have something awesome to listen to in the car. Watch the making of the Hardwired song, he goes OFF!
well to be fair, how this is produced is much different. It's very impersonal and doesn't involve their personal lives much at all, unlike the other documentary. They just didn't put it in the film.
Is that what you really wanna see?? I'm more concerned about their jamz and inspiration and what not anyway, getting into their super personal lives is kinda unnecessary, they should have room to just be their selves too and not always have the eye on them so can have a chance to be down to earth and not feel so much pressure to make the most baddest shite ever
@@mattlopez47 I mean this is all personal preference at this point, I didn't say SKOM was better it was just made differently. The group members chose to make the movie, it was their decision. The band was going through issues that had nothing to do with making the documentary.
Robert's best attribute is that he is not a high maintenance prima donna. The band has two visionaries and two laid back guys. The Beatles needed Ringo. The Beatles could not have functioned with, say, Neil Peart.
This album got me through the hardest time in my life, my father was in the hospital 19 days and we didn't think he was going to make it.. Many hours were spent in a hospital parking lot getting lost in these songs. Thank you Metallica so stoked to watch this!

Yep, he is the guy that people will always hate and make fun of, but he is the smartest one in the band. When Cliff passed away, James just slowly turned into a mess until he got himself sober and deal with grieves. Without Lars, the band would probably died with Cliff, but don't think Cliff would want that. I love the friendships between James Cliff Lars Kirk; they are the real four horsemen. And I hate when so called fans bash on any of them especially Lars, who is the only extrovert one; outspoken but he speaks what he thinks, and that is admirable.
wrappedupinemotion It's incredible that people always have to talk badly about Larsˋ's drumming abilities and skills. First, it was Lars who founded Metallica. And Lars has given Metallica the sound Metallica should have and he is a fantastic song writer. He became known as a pioneer in fast thrash metal drum beats and later known through his popularity and drum technique (the double-major drum beat in song One) and many do not respect him today as a good drummer because the way he plays as he was very popular in the 80's you don't play that much anymore. Without Lars, no Metallica and I'm pretty sure he smiles and laughs all the way down the bank compared to certain others
Lars Ulrich has a lot of charisma he is funny and smart imo. I remember where his son yelled hey dad in a Danish accent I also would be scared shitless.
The fact that Rob came up with the main riff for All Nightmare Long by just toying around and playing flamingo on a guitar while picking at it like a bass guitar just blows me the fuck away. Moreover because they weren't even trying to come up with something good, it just flowed so naturally. This is such artistic creative gold to witness, unbelievable.
He’s not picking at it like a bass, that’s how flamenco is played traditionally. Players usually keep their fingernails long to get an extra plucky sound.
This is like one of the most hardest albums they've done... you can see the dedication from each member of the band.. they all contribute and give 10000000% of their energy and skills, and it resulted as Death Magnetic... Thank you for another thrash masterpiece, Metallica.

I discovered Metallica because I found an ipod in a local park. It had all of their albums as someone who didn't "grow up" with Metallica, in my opinion, this is their best album. DM followed by And justice for all. In that ipod I also discovered whom immediately became my favorite band of ALL TIME.... Iron Maiden. Prior to me finding that ipod, I had only know Iron Maiden by name. Thank you ipod!
@Gibbie Smalls Iron Maiden is also my favourite band and Metallica is a close second. I also got to see Iron Maiden live and that was an amazing experience.

I'm having a hard time realizing this is nearly 12 years ago. I tell you what though, watching MetallicA through all these years, Lars knows how to put things together.
My favorite part is around 30:50 when James is struggling to find the right arrangement for the song while Lars is right next to him ordering take-out lol
This is probably my fav Met album. I see it as them taking all of their great philosophies from the past and making something new with them. I never get tired of these songs.
I love that they are still together, have worked hard to respect each other and hear each other. Lars clearly matured into the director/encourager that he is. Even asking James, 'what do you want the drums to be?', shows a vulnerability, and strength of character, through humility, that makes the whole thing work.
@jcangel8968 oh be quiet. The album is absolutely fantastic. The musicianship is top notch. Also don't ever compare Kiss to Metallica. Not even close to the same level.
This is arguably one of their best albums in my opinion. A redemption album, if you will, after what was St. Anger. Your comparison between the two bands you mention has one big difference. What Metallica did worked, whereas Kiss putting the makeup back on would just be comical 🤣
@@eazye519 Seeing and hearing some of St. Anger from them live did change my opinion of the album a bit for the better, I will admit. At the time of making St. Anger, with them all at each other's throats and being on the brink imploding almost calling it quits is what made that album turn out the way it did. I'm just glad they were able to push through it and follow it up with this.
You don´t know what Spotify is?? I can listen to 3 different albums, who are mixed with a quite comfortable and normal volume, but when DM comes on, it´s so god damn loud. It´s really annoying -.-
yeah i know that feel bro when i listen to my metallica playlist and i forget to turn down the volume before a dm songs starts , i have a hard time haha but the songs are great though i personnally think its one of the best album they made or THE best after the shit they gave us with bob rock
***** Yeah, I agree bro. The riffs are so heavy, and the solo´s are different, but fits so good into the song. Lars´ drumming is great, but kinda disappointed that he rarely plays the double bass parts live :-/
I love watching this because i used to be an engineer in Los Angeles, and this is what i used to do…. Make records. I worked at Sound City a lot - as an engineer & producer. I worked with Robert when he player bass on Infectious Grooves “Sarsipius Ark,” in the same room that the Black album was cut, and worked with Rick Rubin several times…. So watching this is so nostalgic. Those were the days.
We really didn't see Rick during this video, wasn't talking with the band, etc. How involved was he in the process, and what type of direction did he offer?
I really hope the song they were writing at 48:26-51:25 is still on tape and on their mind while working on this album. I FREAKING LOVE IT when Metallica blends flamenco and metal.
It's so clear how integral Lars is to the band. A lot of the greatness of Metallica's compositions come from him. A great band has to be more than the sum of its parts. He seems to be the band's wild energy, in that he's not always precise, but he can take them places they wouldn't necessarily go. It's really sobering to watch this documentary and see the stark contrast to the bad place they were in documented on the hilariously depressing 'Some kind of monster'. (Side note: They deserve total respect for releasing some kind of monster, because that took balls!) Here they're a cohesive, creative mega force! And the result was their best album since their classic period. On fire with ideas and not a dud to be found.
Rick Rubin didn't give consent for him to be filmed he usually gets paid for that kind of stuff so I guarantee you there was a reason he's not on video
For me Hetfield is the heart and soul of Metallica , he has come a long way as a guitar player also, great to see the versatility , thanks for the memories!
I see why you think that but honestly, Spit Out The Bone blew me away when it came out and became an instant classic in my opinion. But I agree that Day is a classic, I feel like it’s sort of a sequel to One in spirit.
I'm half way through this and I'm enjoying this so much. These guys sure picked the right bass player! Totally awesome observing the writing and recording process in such detail.
I listened to this album while I was on duty in Great Lakes, it was on the radio all night long as a promotion or something. That weekend we went off base got some Metallica shirts and cruised downtown Chicago and elsewhere listening to the album and having a great time.
really cool seeing kirk do his warm up before recording 4:04 first thing my guitar teacher taught me down pick, up pick, and up and down pick for every note on the guitar forward and backward. from fret 1 to whatever your guitar goes to you do that every time you sit down to play to a metronome and you're muscles and hand eye co ordination are unstoppable. makes me wanna buy another electric I was never that fast and accurate tho XD
Even though firing Bob as producer was probably for the best, they should've kept him as an engineer. You can criticize his influence on the band, but he knew how to make the music sound crystal clear. I like the rawness of Kill 'Em All, the spaciousness of Ride The Lightning and MOP, and I honestly don't mind the flatness of AJFA, but the Black Album, Load and Reload have excellent tone and crystal clear layering. In my opinion, Death Magnetic is an excellent album but the engineering is sub-par and the mix is too loud.
+Ryan O'Toole just to make it clear , Bob was JUST the producer , Randy staub did the engineering from the black album (for example ) . and the guy who mastered the album is so wrong with the RMS levels , that's why the mix is loud .
***** That's what I was saying. While I like the sound of the first four records, the ones Bob produced have far better engineering than Death Magnetic.
39:00 I love how they played the harmonies together I wish I did that when I was still recording in a band that really could make the harmonies have a much better feel!
This album is a damn masterpiece -- riffs, time signature, ferocity, melody -- it's all here. It's an extraordinary output of creativity. I can't believe I actually think this, but I think it's their best album ever -- and yes, I realize that will be a minority opinion. I bought master of puppets in high school, and I think this tops it song for song. As for the recording process, good lord, I'm not a sound engineer. I just turn the damn thing up and let it rock. It rocks.
I wouldn't say best ever I'd put it just behind their 3 epic albums from 84-88 then I'd put this and kill em all, black and 72 seasons around the same then hardwired then the loads then st anger. Just my .02. This album is the modern justice. It's great.
1:34:58 guitar sounds sooo good. see what i mean, people don't realize just how important Lars is to this band. 90% of what you hear is because of him, His production and creativity are second to none.
I think it's really such a great thing that metallica records and makes videos like this available for everyone in the world who wants to , to watch for free , very very few other bands out there have shown this level of appreciation towards their fans in this manor.
It's their band, they've brought me great joy, nobody can take anything away from them especially those first 4 albums. It's their band they can choose to put out what they want. As a fan I will always be thankful for the music they put out in the past. Only thing I'll say is that they don't seem like a metal band anymore, they are more of a hard rock/rock and roll band.
This is a must watch for any musician. I love how Lars is clearly a producer. You can see it. Just wanted to note, Kirk comes across like the nicest guy ever! Love him so much!
The weird thing that nobody thinks about...A teenage Lars posted an ad in the local newspaper looking for a guitar player/singer. A teenage James responded. A band was formed. That being said..since Lars posted the ad...he is technically the leader of Metallica. Always has been. Always will be. He runs the show. This documentary is proof. So if you hate a Metallica album, blame Lars. 😊
Equally, if you love an album, blame Lars for that too ;) Lars is obviously a major component in Metallica's journey. Both musically and business wise. They wouldn't be what they are without him. And about the criticism of his drumming I can say that he's the drummer of two of the best metal albums in history, MOP & AJFA. The drums in those are PERFECT! And much of the reason those sounds so good (except for the missing bass of course.. Lars! FFS 🙄)
10 21 2008 Metallica Death Magnetic tour started here in Glendale Arizona. My girlfriend Diana Marquez had bought tickets for that night. She passed away that morning. The day that never came had a new meaning. It was the song that woke me from alarm that morning. I found her and my world ended, however I went to the show that night and it made that day better. Being the badest band in the land previously, then and still. I bragged seeing you in LA 1988 Monsters of Rock, when the reserved seats all made there way to the stage ya kept jamming, epic. Ya helped me threw dark days. 10 21 2008. THE THAT NEVER CAME FOR HER. Thank you for you. Steven K. See ya at Power Trip 10 8 2023
Philip Gonzalez that's because he didn't really have an input for hardwired. Kirk did the solos and riffs according to what James and Lars were telling him. Watch the Hardwired doc. Kirk comes in way later trying to learn riffs. As much as I love James. He and Lars just took over production of the new album. With slight inputs from Robert, nearly zero from Kirk. It's an eye opener as to who called the shots and who had the vision. But hey, it worked out. Album is great (I think). Next album the whole crew gets a piece.
Kirk made too good solos in dm like Judas Kiss, The Day, All nightmare or his best solo for me since Load, The unforgiven 3, that its a very amazing solo, and in hardwired have few solos that are good and none is amazing
Yes but halo on fire is undeniably one of his best solos. So much feel to it and the buildup is great. Spit out the bone has some amazing guitar work too, it's my favorite song of hardwired followed by halo on fire and atlas rise.
33:00 is probably my favorite part because you can see Lars’ music brain working and then the “AHA” moment just came to him it’s really fascinating to watch Update: 1:53:53 is also my favorite part because they’re having so much fun and laughing at simple funny guitar noises it’s so cute
@@WishMount apparently, that was an Eddie Van Halen flange box. Needless to say, that effect gave birth to the opening to one of Kirk's most badass solos ever.

And Lars has given Metallica the sound Metallica should have and he is a fantastic song writer. He became known as a pioneer in fast thrash metal drum beats and later known through his popularity and drum technique (the double-major drum beat in song One) and many do not respect him today as a good drummer because the way he plays as he was very popular in the 80's you don't play that much anymore. Without Lars, no Metallica and I'm pretty sure he smiles and laughs all the way down the bank compared to certain others
@@panther7681 Thing is, those elitists would've rather had them stop after Cliff.
Lars and James are both worth an estimated $300 million. They laugh in multi-millionaire at the dumb haters.
Lars Ulrich has a lot of charisma he is funny and smart imo. I remember where his son yelled hey dad in a Danish accent I also would be scared shitless.
I like how Robs stance in the studio is the same as how he plays live. Dude is metal to the bone.
We can all think whatever we want to think about lars but you cant deny he cares about the band and he cares about the music
He cares so much he stopped playing most of the double parts live, he doesn't give a shit live...
@@tomcostin6976 Funny as he still plays double bass live in 2024 xD
The fact that Rob came up with the main riff for All Nightmare Long by just toying around and playing flamingo on a guitar while picking at it like a bass guitar just blows me the fuck away. Moreover because they weren't even trying to come up with something good, it just flowed so naturally. This is such artistic creative gold to witness, unbelievable.
He’s not picking at it like a bass, that’s how flamenco is played traditionally. Players usually keep their fingernails long to get an extra plucky sound.

This is like one of the most hardest albums they've done... you can see the dedication from each member of the band.. they all contribute and give 10000000% of their energy and skills, and it resulted as Death Magnetic...

I discovered Metallica because I found an ipod in a local park. It had all of their albums as someone who didn't "grow up" with Metallica, in my opinion, this is their best album. DM followed by And justice for all.
In that ipod I also discovered whom immediately became my favorite band of ALL TIME.... Iron Maiden. Prior to me finding that ipod, I had only know Iron Maiden by name.
Thank you ipod!
This is their third worst, idiot.
@Gibbie Smalls Iron Maiden is also my favourite band and Metallica is a close second. I also got to see Iron Maiden live and that was an amazing experience.

I love how James is explaining how he wants the guitars part done and Lars is stealing the scene by ordering appetizers.
still an amazing band.
Fully agree.
Exodus
I'm having a hard time realizing this is nearly 12 years ago. I tell you what though, watching MetallicA through all these years, Lars knows how to put things together.
59:45 James playing Kirk's guitar, never saw that before
Actually I didn't get why he did that
Recording kirks rhythm parts lmao
Luis Rodríguez pretty sure they have done that in the past
@@Alphaaussiegaming yeah, at least in Master Of Puppets they did that
He uses kirks guitar to record kirks rhythm sections
My favorite part is around 30:50 when James is struggling to find the right arrangement for the song while Lars is right next to him ordering take-out lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Him chewing in some kind of monster makes my skin crawl
People can chew me out if they want but Death Magnetic is an amazing album. To me it's as awesome as Ride The Lightning and ...And Justice For All.
Hold on... I can see liking this album, but saying it's as good as AJFA is a little hyperbolic.
yep totally agree. i love it. to be honest i play it more that lightning and Justice.
@@Snake_1969 Those albums are a little bit older and Lightning also sounds like that.
This is probably my fav Met album. I see it as them taking all of their great philosophies from the past and making something new with them. I never get tired of these songs.
I agree- best album from start to finish - all excellent songs!
I´m amazed at the fact that Lars is some kind of musical director, he is into every single part of all songs.
nosy little guy
@@shred9475 Founder and CEO of Thrash Metal
He shouldn't be😮💨
Thats why their music sucks since master of puppets , my God , Lars shouldn't be acting like he's a producer
Lars should have brought in a drummer for this album.
Death Magnetic is a Masterpiece. Pure Heavy Metal. Loud. Tight. Aggressive. Play it, over n over.
The solo Kirk is playing at 55:11 is pretty cool, it's nowhere on the album though
Sounds too similar to the ride the lightning solo.
I love that they are still together, have worked hard to respect each other and hear each other. Lars clearly matured into the director/encourager that he is. Even asking James, 'what do you want the drums to be?', shows a vulnerability, and strength of character, through humility, that makes the whole thing work.
Definitely their most underrated album
Isn't a bad album, but this era is like KISS putting on the make up again, it isn't the same
@jcangel8968 oh be quiet. The album is absolutely fantastic. The musicianship is top notch. Also don't ever compare Kiss to Metallica. Not even close to the same level.
This is arguably one of their best albums in my opinion. A redemption album, if you will, after what was St. Anger. Your comparison between the two bands you mention has one big difference. What Metallica did worked, whereas Kiss putting the makeup back on would just be comical 🤣
@MikeKirchner-zf7zm I actually think Saint anger is underrated. Yes it's their worst album but I put it on work from time to time
@@eazye519 Seeing and hearing some of St. Anger from them live did change my opinion of the album a bit for the better, I will admit. At the time of making St. Anger, with them all at each other's throats and being on the brink imploding almost calling it quits is what made that album turn out the way it did. I'm just glad they were able to push through it and follow it up with this.
I love all the production that goes on behind the music. Thats the true beauty. It's like seeing a girl without makeup. It's who they are.
Impressed by how well Lars works as a producer and how talented Trujillo is as not only bass player but guitarist!
Trujillo can play some mean ass tunes that’s for sure.
I wouldn't take prod advice from Lars even if I was paid.
@@stofosaurusand that’s why you’ll never be anything
Everytime a DM song comes on in my spotify playlist, it fucking blows my headphones. It´s mixed to be so god damn loud -.-
dont know wtf spotify is but youre right it so loud !
You don´t know what Spotify is??
I can listen to 3 different albums, who are mixed with a quite comfortable and normal volume, but when DM comes on, it´s so god damn loud. It´s really annoying -.-
yeah i know that feel bro when i listen to my metallica playlist and i forget to turn down the volume before a dm songs starts , i have a hard time haha but the songs are great though i personnally think its one of the best album they made or THE best after the shit they gave us with bob rock
***** Yeah, I agree bro. The riffs are so heavy, and the solo´s are different, but fits so good into the song. Lars´ drumming is great, but kinda disappointed that he rarely plays the double bass parts live :-/
David Fuller I know, its sad but true :/
I love watching this because i used to be an engineer in Los Angeles, and this is what i used to do…. Make records. I worked at Sound City a lot - as an engineer & producer. I worked with Robert when he player bass on Infectious Grooves “Sarsipius Ark,” in the same room that the Black album was cut, and worked with Rick Rubin several times…. So watching this is so nostalgic. Those were the days.
We really didn't see Rick during this video, wasn't talking with the band, etc. How involved was he in the process, and what type of direction did he offer?
watching this to get excited for the new album
too
I hope they release a documentary for that as well. I've probably watched this more than I actually listened to the album.
They definitely will! You can already find a making of video for the writing of the new song Hardwired on youtube.
Hardwired? came out 2016??
43:02 future ending to Hardwired solo :O
Gannon Smith if you notice, he also uses the same lick in Atlas, Rise! and Suicide and Redemption
actually sometimes his stuff are always similar
Rob must be living the dream right here......he just seems so happy playing bass or doing vocals
Damn! That solo at 42:54. One of Kirk's baddest leads. Awesome.
I think I'm actually more excited for the "Making Of" for Hardwired than the actual album itself.
too
52:06 my favorite part of rob screaming had me dying
I really hope the song they were writing at 48:26-51:25 is still on tape and on their mind while working on this album. I FREAKING LOVE IT when Metallica blends flamenco and metal.
rob was kinda playing "the god that failed" on acoustic but it feels like nobody got it
It's so clear how integral Lars is to the band. A lot of the greatness of Metallica's compositions come from him. A great band has to be more than the sum of its parts. He seems to be the band's wild energy, in that he's not always precise, but he can take them places they wouldn't necessarily go. It's really sobering to watch this documentary and see the stark contrast to the bad place they were in documented on the hilariously depressing 'Some kind of monster'. (Side note: They deserve total respect for releasing some kind of monster, because that took balls!)
Here they're a cohesive, creative mega force! And the result was their best album since their classic period. On fire with ideas and not a dud to be found.
Sweet gig for Rick Rubin - he's never there!
Corey Taylor said the same thing during the making of Volume 3 Subliminal Verses
Rick Rubin didn't give consent for him to be filmed he usually gets paid for that kind of stuff so I guarantee you there was a reason he's not on video
@@mobeus84he’s notorious for not being around. Why pay him when Greg is doing everything?
I don't understand why people are hating on this album, I thought it was great.
I wish they weren't so quickly dismissive of some of Kirk's riffs. I heard some pretty good stuff.
+Ceyda Charming they aren't metallica's most famous songs are writen by kirk
What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Metallica's most famous songs were written by Kirk or the opposite?
they were mostly written by kirk
like enter sandman creeping death
+iamananimal42 james wrote the 0 7 5 7 6 5 part and Kirk added the 0 3 2 3 etc. power chord tail part to it and the 0/7 6 5 part
49:00 Gotta love that tune he plays as Kirk walks in. Everytime Kirk goes on stage they need to play that :D
For me Hetfield is the heart and soul of Metallica , he has come a long way as a guitar player also, great to see the versatility , thanks for the memories!
The Day That Never Comes was, in my view, the last classic Metallica song, and one of their best ballads.
Absolutely agree
I see why you think that but honestly, Spit Out The Bone blew me away when it came out and became an instant classic in my opinion.
But I agree that Day is a classic, I feel like it’s sort of a sequel to One in spirit.
32:25 that man and that guitar are so iconic its so awesome to see him just chilling riffing on it all those years later
Even though it's not my favorite album, I still love watching these guys make it.
I'm half way through this and I'm enjoying this so much. These guys sure picked the right bass player! Totally awesome observing the writing and recording process in such detail.

@Willard Winkle why man? If that just your opinion please explane.
@Date Mike haha, Bad-ass for sure! 😅👍
I listened to this album while I was on duty in Great Lakes, it was on the radio all night long as a promotion or something. That weekend we went off base got some Metallica shirts and cruised downtown Chicago and elsewhere listening to the album and having a great time.
I like watching bands in the studio, I like the fact you see and hear it all come together. It's art.
52:05 will NEVER not be funny.
windexfighter77 fuck you man fornpinting that out now I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 or watching it
Kong time! 🤣
"Never not"
That's a double negative. So basically you're saying it's funny.
David Gutierrez Rojas because he is
@@Alphaaussiegaming me to
I love James. Its amazing that this guy keeps getting older but looks a lot younger in a way! :D
really cool seeing kirk do his warm up before recording 4:04 first thing my guitar teacher taught me down pick, up pick, and up and down pick for every note on the guitar forward and backward. from fret 1 to whatever your guitar goes to you do that every time you sit down to play to a metronome and you're muscles and hand eye co ordination are unstoppable. makes me wanna buy another electric I was never that fast and accurate tho XD
9:29 "skoo-bah-dee-boo" :D
Like-a-wee-a-boo-da-bang
... yeah! :v
48:47 "Skoo Dilli Doh BOW!"
Tracking vocals or practicing them is actually hard work....been doing it a year so far
Not really.
Even though firing Bob as producer was probably for the best, they should've kept him as an engineer. You can criticize his influence on the band, but he knew how to make the music sound crystal clear. I like the rawness of Kill 'Em All, the spaciousness of Ride The Lightning and MOP, and I honestly don't mind the flatness of AJFA, but the Black Album, Load and Reload have excellent tone and crystal clear layering. In my opinion, Death Magnetic is an excellent album but the engineering is sub-par and the mix is too loud.
You're fuking right!!! I felt the same when I heard it the very first time.
+Ryan O'Toole just to make it clear , Bob was JUST the producer , Randy staub did the engineering from the black album (for example ) . and the guy who mastered the album is so wrong with the RMS levels , that's why the mix is loud .
***** Interesting, thanks for the info.
***** That's what I was saying. While I like the sound of the first four records, the ones Bob produced have far better engineering than Death Magnetic.
I don't understand it. Do you mean that some of their famous songs were written by Kirk, or the other way round?
1:47 "lets rock" clean riffing starts
39:00 I love how they played the harmonies together I wish I did that when I was still recording in a band that really could make the harmonies have a much better feel!
Hetfield is a fucking downpicking machine.
Phil he is pretty much a human metronome
This album is a damn masterpiece -- riffs, time signature, ferocity, melody -- it's all here. It's an extraordinary output of creativity. I can't believe I actually think this, but I think it's their best album ever -- and yes, I realize that will be a minority opinion. I bought master of puppets in high school, and I think this tops it song for song. As for the recording process, good lord, I'm not a sound engineer. I just turn the damn thing up and let it rock. It rocks.
Cringe
Lars, please re-login
I wouldn't say best ever I'd put it just behind their 3 epic albums from 84-88 then I'd put this and kill em all, black and 72 seasons around the same then hardwired then the loads then st anger. Just my .02. This album is the modern justice. It's great.
1:34:58 guitar sounds sooo good. see what i mean, people don't realize just how important Lars is to this band. 90% of what you hear is because of him, His production and creativity are second to none.
I think it's really such a great thing that metallica records and makes videos like this available for everyone in the world who wants to , to watch for free , very very few other bands out there have shown this level of appreciation towards their fans in this manor.
Metallica has inspired decades of musicians. Including me. Like Beethoven, Metallica will never die. (In the perfect world)
It's their band, they've brought me great joy, nobody can take anything away from them especially those first 4 albums. It's their band they can choose to put out what they want. As a fan I will always be thankful for the music they put out in the past. Only thing I'll say is that they don't seem like a metal band anymore, they are more of a hard rock/rock and roll band.
12:30 that bass thunder in the end of a lick? Love it!
This is a must watch for any musician. I love how Lars is clearly a producer. You can see it. Just wanted to note, Kirk comes across like the nicest guy ever! Love him so much!
My favorite album, it’s so underrated.
my favorite thing on youtube is watching Metallica create music.
The weird thing that nobody thinks about...A teenage Lars posted an ad in the local newspaper looking for a guitar player/singer. A teenage James responded. A band was formed. That being said..since Lars posted the ad...he is technically the leader of Metallica. Always has been. Always will be. He runs the show. This documentary is proof. So if you hate a Metallica album, blame Lars. 😊
Equally, if you love an album, blame Lars for that too ;)
Lars is obviously a major component in Metallica's journey. Both musically and business wise. They wouldn't be what they are without him.
And about the criticism of his drumming I can say that he's the drummer of two of the best metal albums in history, MOP & AJFA. The drums in those are PERFECT! And much of the reason those sounds so good (except for the missing bass of course.. Lars! FFS 🙄)
10 21 2008 Metallica Death Magnetic tour started here in Glendale Arizona. My girlfriend Diana Marquez had bought tickets for that night. She passed away that morning. The day that never came had a new meaning. It was the song that woke me from alarm that morning. I found her and my world ended, however I went to the show that night and it made that day better. Being the badest band in the land previously, then and still. I bragged seeing you in LA 1988 Monsters of Rock, when the reserved seats all made there way to the stage ya kept jamming, epic. Ya helped me threw dark days. 10 21 2008. THE THAT NEVER CAME FOR HER. Thank you for you.
Steven K. See ya at Power Trip 10 8 2023
This is why Lars takes credit for all songs. This man does so much for the songs!
20:00 I like Kirk's weird home solo better than the one on the album.
It's awesome.
Yeah it's so melodic
Its almost jazz rock in chromatics
52:09-...I laughed 5 min after I saw it..
18:45 THIS HAPPENS when Kirk contributes to the writing of the album. Look how happy they are after playing it... We need Kirk contributing.
If only he didn't lose his phone before recording Hardwired
Kirks solos on death magnetic where sOOoooooo better than hardwired.
Philip Gonzalez that's because he didn't really have an input for hardwired. Kirk did the solos and riffs according to what James and Lars were telling him. Watch the Hardwired doc. Kirk comes in way later trying to learn riffs. As much as I love James. He and Lars just took over production of the new album. With slight inputs from Robert, nearly zero from Kirk. It's an eye opener as to who called the shots and who had the vision. But hey, it worked out. Album is great (I think). Next album the whole crew gets a piece.
Kirk made too good solos in dm like Judas Kiss, The Day, All nightmare or his best solo for me since Load, The unforgiven 3, that its a very amazing solo, and in hardwired have few solos that are good and none is amazing
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Yes but halo on fire is undeniably one of his best solos. So much feel to it and the buildup is great. Spit out the bone has some amazing guitar work too, it's my favorite song of hardwired followed by halo on fire and atlas rise.
@sadsadsa asadasd one of his best. There's beauty in simplicity not everything has to be like ride the lightning.
Robert singing at 00:36:22 is always killing me!
He can't sing to save his life.
@@TheBoogie91listen to dream no more
Reminds me of Jack black singing tbh
14:26 God it would be amazing if they started that song like that.
Yeah no shit. lol track 1
agreed
I wonder how come there are never any songs like that. Where it starts out on a solo..I can’t think of any
@@swisscheeseplease97 No Remorse
Trapped under ice too
1:48:46 wish they kept that transition dear god that was beautiful
33:00 is probably my favorite part because you can see Lars’ music brain working and then the “AHA” moment just came to him it’s really fascinating to watch
Update: 1:53:53 is also my favorite part because they’re having so much fun and laughing at simple funny guitar noises it’s so cute
Lars should have used a ride cymbal at least one time in this album
He used it but it was called an other name: CHINA
You know, if he would replace that STUPID China with a ride or half open aux hihat, HE WOULD SOUND SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER
+InputSilver9 yeah.....or a set of electronic pads
InputSilver9 His old cymbal setup had 2 hi-hats and 1 ride
+Lukas Renezeder he should have kept the old setup
What a great album. One of their best
I think this was the first good album since and justice for all. Death magnetic was a good way to celebrate 20 years for that.
black album/load/reload are awesome. heck even st anger has bangers.
If they'd ever remaster this album, it'll be my favorite Metallica album of all time
It has been remastered in 2016, check it out, sounds much quieter and fuller.
@@carlo8076 Old-school metal bands have so many remastered albums that I keep forgetting to give them a listen. Thanks for the heads up!
1:54:15 best moment ever in this album
greg Zik what’s that fkn pedal? Just a delay?
@@WishMount apparently, that was an Eddie Van Halen flange box. Needless to say, that effect gave birth to the opening to one of Kirk's most badass solos ever.
God is with you through all of your problems
which one?
Alot of people have no idea on how much metallica jammed that song to get it perfect. My inspiration for playing guitar since 86'. Rock on
The Prince was the toughest to learn, then the solo. Total shred mode. Perfect
