he is one of the most overrated drummer on the earth. John Bonham, Kieth Moon, Mike Portnoy, Nicko Mc Brain, Frankie Benali is awesome drummers. Of the drummers from the big 4, Lars is a lame MF, and James Hatfield have had one drummer, a summer when Lars wasn't playing due to a broken arm, when he was happy over the drumming. Who filled in for Lars? Oh, yes, Dave Lombardo.
@spiidy75 Throw me back to the states? Obviously physics isn't your strong suit. clearly you don't drum. Lars is good at drumming. Mike Portney is the best in my opinion, but Lars is still good. Mike Portney, Danny Carey, Richard Christy, Joey Jordison, and Dave Lombardo are the top 5 in my book and lars isn't even close but he is still a good drummer. why the fuck would I wanna go to Sweden? its fucking cold in Minnesota and Sweden is further north. Not to mention air fair. if you "throw me" --
@KillerfulProducts Hats of for you, Rick Allen is amazing with his arm and feets. Niel Peart is amazing as well. Marky Ramone does one thing that the whole Metal scene does not, plays 4/4 beat to Shena is a punkrocker live and the song is 1 minute faster than the studio recording.
This song from a band in early '80s called London. A band with Blackie Lawless, Nikki Sixx and Nadir D'Priest. It was one of their songs, same lyrics and music. Damn good song!
@Cok94 It's not a version of Metallica: Metallicas for Whom is based on the Hemmingway Novel with the same name. This one has only the title in common with Metallica's song.
@jumbaliahVITO Or is it the Gypsy meets the boy that is a rip of from this one? This one is recorded in this version in '89 and in the Idol version in '92.
@KISSfanegm666 actually they both got their name off the book/old movie. W.A.S.P. didn't copy Metallica's, they are two completely obviously different songs. Metallica's song by the same name I also happen to like quite a bit better being a HUGE Metallica fan yet also a W.A.S.P. fan.
@ContraCommando You don't know me yet asume you actually know more about me than that I like 2 80s bands, shows me what type of person you are. a stereotyper!!! Metallica is actually quite talented, well known, and like the least underrated band in the world. W.A.S.P. is a much greater influence on my musical style I must say. Blackies voice is fuckin amazing!!! I listen to W.A.S.P. more than Metallica and i would much rather see W.A.S.P. in concert. my favorite band is Megadeth so you fail!!!!!
@DETHFAN18ALL2 Well Megadeth is one of the greatest. Metallica are sellouts. Please tell me that you don't consider a shit album like their last two to be metal.
@ContraCommando I thoroughly Enjoyed Deathmagnetic. I wassnt impressed with St. Anger though but I DO consider them metal I'm afraid. I dont consider Load and Reload to be metal. those are just rock. anyway I liked quite a bit of St. Anger, I just found some vocals on half the album to be unbearably awkward sounding. I like Metallicas 1988 album to be their best for sure, but I love every album except their last to which I kinda like and really like but neither are AMAZING ALBUMS.
@DETHFAN18ALL2 They have not been thrash since And Justice For All. Everything after that is too huge of a departure to be considered true metal. I can't see how you enjoyed St. Anger if you are a fan of Metallica. I did not like one song off that album. Death Magnetic was also weak and was not worthy of their first albums. BTW metal going punk or vice versa is not always bad. Suicidal Tendencies, DRI, and Cro-Mags are proof.
@ContraCommando dude You missing my points completely, misunderstanding of the genre metal, and your habit of acting like YOUR opinion is the best pretty much deem you unworthy of conversation. Metal is fast paced rock with highly distorted guitar typically masculine and aggressive vocals. other than Load, t hey are absolutely metal. sure they arent the same but they get older and try new things. and your last two sentences prove you weren't paying attention. good day!
@ContraCommando as an add-on to my last. what is so wrong with a band changing styles? lets say a band is playing thrash and then becomes punk rock... is that wrong? maybe they felt inspired to try something new, isnt that what art is? trying something out when you want to? its an industry when a band does 1 album and keeps doing the same thing song after song for their whole career like dragonfuck. Megadeth made Risk but I hear no complaints yet as soon as Metallica tries it their crucified????
@DETHFAN18ALL2 Yes indeed they are, except Lars who is a very lame drummer, by far worser than, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo and Nick Menza as thrashdrummers
@spiidy75 I am going to have to ask you to leave me your name and address if you live anywhere near Minnesota. if not then just fuck off. Acting like a dipshit you better be ready to fight. Metallica was is and always shall be a kickass band. you said worser. your another fucking annoying little prickass troll if you honestly think lars is nothing but a badass drummer.
@spiidy75 he is super talented even if he comes off as a dick in a couple interviews. Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax's drummers are good and since you only listed big four drummers then I shall asume your a falsemetal poser or just a troll. either way fuck off or lets meet so I can kick your ass.
@dusted04 I never said that it did, i only mentioned that they had a song with the same title, which i found odd, and that i liked this song better. thats all.
@MAG0T Yeah, I was sitting there for like a minute and a half before I thought to myself "wtf, how is this a cover of metallica??" and checked the comments.
