You can say what you want about Lars, but you can't deny the power and strength of his sound even at his age, how perfected his own technique is and how much he knows his instrument, without discrediting the majority of drummers but Lars It is one that transmits something to you, brings something to your live experience, it is not just there to play you 300 notes per second.
Yep. AT & T stadium is a Huge venue. Definitely takes some time for the sound to travel. But it's so amazing to be close enough to hear the actual drum sound before it was pushed through the mix.
Tbh, I can't understand why, it's perfectly approachable to use it specifically in melodic parts. It'd fit so well in various songs they have like fade to black, mop interlude, nothing else matters, Orion etc...
I know Im too deep in this,but who do you blame an audience with their phones. Lars,myself whos sitting on My ASS at home. Well Lars does'nt have any nuances that makes hes playing sound very dull. In The other hand it made The band work because there was'nt any ego in The band. But in My mind I would like a Guy whos a stand out musician. The new Metallica stuff..
Okay... Most phone videos I've seen of these shows have this god awful echo and delay, making it sound like they aren't playing together at all. Is it really that awful out there? Starting to think this tour Metallica is not even worth it because of the sound. :|
Great question @Jayteaseepiirturi ! The sound engineering was perfection at this 100,000 seat stadium in Dallas, Texas. The delay / echo you hear is because my phone's mic was so close to the drums that you are actually hearing the sticks make contact with the drum heads and cymbals BEFORE the sound is pushed through the PA system. Everyone else in the stadium is hearing the sound mixed and amplified through the speakers. As a drummer I can also add that, this is what a drummer hears from behind the kit. The music sounds completely different when you are behind all the amps that are pushing the sound away from you.
Hey! I was fortunate enough to attended both nights (Friday and Sunday). It was literally one of the best experiences of my life! - even though I've seen them 11 or 12 times over the years, there was nothing like being 6 feet away from them in the middle of the stage! I had to capture it so that I can relive it forever! I only recorded 3 songs out of the 40+ that they played. Super glad I did, now I can share it with others that don't get the chance to see it from the POV that I had. Cheers!
keep in mind that lars is also the business brain of Metallica. Metallica would also not sound like Metalica if it wasn't for his simple hard-hitting drumming. Its one of the things that separated Metallica from every generic ass thrash band in the 80s
I think it's fair to say that his drumming style doesn't appeal to everyone. But even if you don't like his artistic expression, he is clearly a world class drummer. I was close enough to see the concentration and focus in his eyes. I've never witnessed anything like it before... it was almost scary to see how locked in he was. And while it may sound like he's not keeping time, that is only the lag of the camera recording coupled with the fact that the camera is close enough to pick up the sound of the sticks making contact with the drum head which happens a second before the sound travels through the speakers. In real life it was spot on, and powerful.
d'habitude on progresse en vieillissant après tant de concerts , Lars a stagné depuis les années 80 et devient le point ultra faible du groupe en concert ..
Disagree. They played with precision and passion that can only be acquired with experience. I've seen them 8 times since 1986. And no doubt they were in their absolute prime in the early 90s, as everyone is in their late 20s / early 30s. But, damn, they are still awesome, especially Lars who has the most physically and mentally challenging role of all of them when on stage.

its cool that it sounds like you aren't even hearing the snare drums from the speakers you are just hearing it without any speakers
Yes, that's right the camera is so close that it's picking up the actual drum sounds not the audio from the PA
@@galaxymodern yea it would’ve been cool to be this close
Yes, Lars does transmit. I love him.
Lars is THE MAN!!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥
I was there too. It was an awesome show. Zakk and Pantera were also great.
When Lars smiles you know something hard is gonna hit you! 😂
True that!
ha, in-ears are god send!
You can really notice the latency of the PA when you're next to Lars's kit, James and Kirk's rhythm just sound a small amount delayed
sounds like he is racing against the rest of the band instead of driving the band, weird to listen to...
It's the natural acoustics of the environment. You can really tell at 3:55. If the camera was at the guitar source instead, Lars would sound late.
@@xhead75 but HE SOUNDS LATE here !!!

truly the most drummer of all time
Give him a break , the guy is almost 61 y.o. and still rocking 👊
He is the best!
LARS
LEGEND!!!
Metallica FOREVER.
So awesome!!
Thanks! truly incredible! - my ears are still ringing!
Спасибо большое за глаток свежего воздуха маэстро 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
good drummer
why he dont use ride cymbal? i dont like china on ride part.
He doesn’t like the “dinging” sound of it.
Tbh, I can't understand why, it's perfectly approachable to use it specifically in melodic parts. It'd fit so well in various songs they have like fade to black, mop interlude, nothing else matters, Orion etc...
Believe me, you wouldn't want to hear him playing a ride cymbal. That China covers up a lot.
@@fitnessisgood4u ahhahahahahah you right mate
@@fitnessisgood4u hahaha, I can see him transforming a complete melodic part into a thrashy somehow with it
Мощно бьёт по сольнику

What is the the point of watching a gig through your phone while you are at said gig? It makes absolutely zero fucking sense to me.

straight outta tempo
Not really... you are hearing the delay in the PA system as it compares to actually hearing the sticks connect with the drum heads.
The stage is big...
No
The video started when the drums got a bit fast in the song
Lar’s is a bad drummer , I mean he is okay , good enough to fit his role .
Opinion from someone who's never got close to a drumstick before:
keep in mind that lars is also the business brain of Metallica. Metallica would also not sound like Metalica if it wasn't for his simple hard-hitting drumming. Its one of the things that separated Metallica from every generic ass thrash band in the 80s

@@galaxymodern no...he sucks...he really does
Its a big showboat
Look at these npc's with their phones out
They'll never understand the joy of watching a concert with their own eyes
Got the joy of it, full on. And now have a vid to share how awesome it was with people that couldn't be there.
Iphone rulles
@toboalpha_drums haha this was shot on Android 😁
Wow wonderfully boring playing
Kindergarten..ha ha...yeah !!
Yeah! Being there was like being a kid again for sure.... one of the most fun and exciting experiences of my life!
stop allready Lars. I thought you were good at tennis

Lars est au top depuis toujours. Il n'a pas besoin de progresser.
Lololol clown cam ffs.
Harsh man...harsh...
Average drummer
hmmmmmmm, I am an average drummer. I must be just like Lars ;) !!!
Lars never said he was/is a great drummer. All Metallica members says they are average.
Average, but there's a lot great drummer not lucky as lars, he's rich, famous and big busnisman behind most succesful band in history
But a Brilliant Musician/Force in Music. (DBZ reference).
I saw Tool on the first leg of the FI tour, phones were banned
