Metallica - Battery Feat Dave Lombardo - Live At Download

[MONOWIDE]

Dave Lombardo kills. Holy Crap! The drumtech had to put on drumheads on Ulrich's bassdrum because Dave really plays it. Rather than Schnarch Ulrich who just uses his feet for balancing himself on the throne while posing along the bassdrum playback.

[juandiegometallica]

oh shit... i just heard seattle 1989 battery and this... this sucks hard, james voice, lombardo on the drums and his fucking anoying hi-hat, i can hardly hear kirks solo and rob doesnt have a shit of stage presence as jason!... epic fail

[mikeplaid]

Lars was fantastic back when Metallica was actually a metal band.

[karellen483]

that awkward moment when you realize metallica needed a real drummer

[diana200997]

Lars plays better than Dave Lombardo.

But it's O.K!!!

[clamorosissimo]

@diana200997 Are you kiddin' right? :) Lombardo is not that clean, but Lars is the worst metal drummer ever. That's a fact: no clear sense of time, a very little tecnique and no dynamic at all.

[DaV084]

@diana200997 It was a joke right ?? O.o

[666tomko666]

@diana200997 Matallica fanboy? ;)

[diana200997]

@666tomko666 Hey I'm a girl who like MetallicA!!!

But I mean:Dave Lombardo plays O.K!!!

[sadsadasdsadasdsadas]

sorry, but sounds better with lars.

[1leoscapin]

Dave ak 47 lombardo

[martysoprano]

fuck lars, they shuld get rid of him and get dave in, lars is getting worse every year, he cant keep up anymore!!

[thorgal70]

I dunno so Dave are Danish :)

[booyakasol]

that was really good !! Maybe dave can play better than Lars but Lars has an amazing musical brain . I love them both ...

[TheShepster80]

Awful timing!!! but kick ass double bass @ 2:09

[yigitturk95]

1:15 I recognize the drummer from somewhere

[goyitoolguin]

Damn Lars is just too lazy to play the double bass drums but Lombardo will play fast nomatter what age he is

[MarlboroMan5760]

Wow that Hi-hat sounds bad xD

[stianoor]

Nice haircut James ;) jk. Your fuckin' awsome \m/

[dbyo88]

2:09 - HOLY FUCK!

[Baseball69Rockstar]

@dbyo88 thats how it should be played, it just so happens that lars slowed down when dave got better

[271189a]

Dave warms up playing battery at this tempo

[mcbrainlegend]

Damn James voice was fucked in 2003/2004. Glad its improved again.

[johnclarke74]

yeah...if you'd been at this gig like i was youd realise how shit it was and how pissed the crowd was.....not happy...

[peterpanskull]

Where's the double bass

[pietzsche]

@peterpanskull 2.09 on

[Arkanai]

@pietzsche

Yeah isnt it quite amazing how good metallica sounds with dave lombardo? ;)

[dbg3006]

@Arkanai Rebecca Black and William Hung would sound good with Lombardo. He´s that good.

[Arkanai]

@dbg3006

Amen.

[Painkiller1616]

WTF!!!!

That's insane!!!!

Lombardo is the best

[DoomShine117]

dave lombardo can make every Metallica song 10 times better. Lars can't even play one Slayer song

[mrrainbowtruffle]

James' hair resembles the singer of Rammstein...

[ElFrankus]

@mrrainbowtruffle That´s the german military haircut. Famous since the 1920´s!

[JudasAngel666]

Dave just took lars's song and made it his bitch

[tonytaker]

1:14 nope, he's not alive

[luksha666]

@tonytaker lol



[pstamatiou]

at long last. metallica got a real drummer!

[taj334]

Fucking epic in the end!

[TheCortMetal]

Metallica needs a re-form. just keep James and Trujilo.

[1994bm4]

It's nothing for Dave--Slayer songs are much faster and heavier than this--He could have easily slept during this song.

[Decapitat0r]

Lombardo made this song sound 100 times better. Now if only they got rid of the bass-wielding ape and had Jason in his place, this would have been a stellar performance.

[glynnracing79]

@Decapitat0r that bass-wielding ape makes jason look like a 3 year old who never even touched a musical instrument.

[Jedibob5]

@glynnracing79 That bass-wielding ape is quite amazing. But Jason is too.

And Cliff beats them all, easily.

[METTAALLIICA]

@Decapitat0r aye because that hi hat performance was top notch.... nah think i will stick with seeing the big 4 again any day of the week dave = slayer lars = metallica

[derSilberMeister]

@Decapitat0r Dude, I totally agree! That fuckin ape annoys me so bad.. Newsted is 10 times better!

[Decapitat0r]

@derSilberMeister Trujillo is just lame. His stage presence is weak and all that shit he does on stage is not metal. I miss Newsted's energy and his screaming into the mic or singing entire songs.

[derSilberMeister]

@Decapitat0r Amen.

[MotorheadNL]

Lombardo kicks Ulrichs ass!

[invadersofcr]

look the stupid man in 1:13

LOL

[invadersofcr]

look the stupid man in 1:15

LOL

[Grimeyhoob]

James' voice has improved loads over the last 7 years. He was really going rough around 2003 (after rehab) to 2006. Then he got better again

[MidniteHaze1]

Wtf is up with the hi hat? Sounds like a fucking triangle..

[TheAmazingUploader]

It's Lars drums... There's always too much hi-hat when he decides how the drums should sound.

[TopRamenKickAss]

Metallica would be so much more epic with Dave. And even more so if Jason was back.

[shawndimery]

Man I was there! I was proud to see Dimebag Darrel play with Damageplan before he was murdered.

[KyleArran33]

i remember being there , sounded 40 times better than it does on this vid

[JoJoQwenty]

But dave is 100 times better Lars is Easy level and Dave is god mode.

[TheRedtaz]

why do people put down lars? he's very talented!

[Death1458100]

@TheRedtaz Compared to who? I can play Lars's parts. Now I am a drummer myself but that is besides the point. His stuff isn't that hard to play.

[MetaITV]

2:11 James: num num num num num

[kurvixon]

object : Lars

status: destroyed

mission : accomplished

xD  \m/

[TrollingYourButt]

Lombardo sounds like shit. Give me Lars.

[MajkeTiTvoje]

@TrollingYourButt yeah, or travis or joey. or even bieber <3

[Troiasta]

Hi-hat em all

Ride the Hi-hat

Master of Hi-hats

And Hi-hats for all

The hi-hat album

Hi-hat

ReHi-hat

St.Hi-hat

Hi-hat Magnetic

[snutt3n]

@Troiasta Dont forget "Beyond Hi-hat"

[zoinxoner]

lars sucks

[Rwby1]

Dave is fucking amazing but sorry Lars, Dave is better than you :/

[roundhousekicker88]

I always wondered what this song sounded like with double bass..

[Ironbound95]

@roundhousekicker88 It does have double bass lol, the studio version does and even when they play it live it does, just lars doesnt kick as fast.

[BlackenedThunder]

@Ironbound95

No shit. You didn't get the joke, I see.

[Lehrerkatzelaptop]

@roundhousekicker88 i always whondered how kirk would sound WITHOUT a wah pedal

[roundhousekicker88]

@Lehrerkatzelaptop Lol, I second that!

[TheUnforgiven676]

@roundhousekicker88 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one!!!

[sulcamarena]

@roundhousekicker88 besides Dave Lombardo plays better than lars ulrich drums lars metallica is not essential is shown in this video

[AChildOfBodom667]

@roundhousekicker88 Watch versions of the song prior to 1993 and you'll notice how similar they are to this version. Then he figured he could make money anyway, without actually putting any heart, soul or passion into his music.

[1Euforia]

AK-47 LOMBARDO 2:08

[AdamPietrasiak]

@1Euforia duddeeee.... its uzi

[ElFrankus]

@italain10908 You`re either dumb or humorless

[italain10908]

@ElFrankus Hi man I wrote that a year ago and I look at my comment and I think I was stupid for writing it but  those are good songs

[alborecargado]

lars  RIP

[SuperTheWhiteTiger]

kirk solo is fucking good!

[gladiator2068]

People hate Lars because of the reason that he doesn't play double bass that much as other drummers...but it's not just the double bass ....Lars is special...and he suits Metallica....:))

[djanzon]

@gladiator2068

Yeah, special.. Like in "Special Class"..

Lars couldn´t keep a beat for a whole song live even if his kids lives were at stake..

There is ONE good Danish drummer, he plays in D.A.D (Disneyland After Dark)

[MrMetallica56]

lars talking:

fucking lombardo

fucking lombardo

damn it FUCKING LOMBARDO

[mwelsh9680]

Lombardo destroys this song ....in a good way. No ... Lars has 21 dislikes

[HabeasMortis]

I always forget how shitty James's voice sounds live until I hear him.

[Raver3run]

maybe it's about hardware, maybe about quality and maybe about Dave,but... hihat sucks :(

[landondrs]

@Raver3run that's about Zildjian !!

[Mr1Luciano]

Lars needs to improve his techniques ◄▬

Great performance ◄▬

[StephenAnthonyMusic]

Ugh, Hetfield's voice hasn't been good for over 20 years now.

[JMZHIGGINS]

i really love dave....but each of em are on their place in their own band!!! dave is for seasons and lars for battery!!!!!

[luis9211]

dave lombardo > usain bolt

[squeezeslemons]

Dave Lombardo drumming Battery ft. Metallica

[phreestylesk8r]

i love this song more now

[68thelzeppelin]

kids: dont do drugs. It's not cool 1:13

[deathinbrasil]

@68thelzeppelin LMFAO!!!!!!!

[djrenault]

@68thelzeppelin saw it once then couldn't get it to come back again. i saw "morphine" what else did it say?

[smerf969]

Lars: Dave how the hell do u get such an awesome sound?

Dave: Double bass, Lars, double bass

Lars: -_-

[stylus231]

Dave IN Lars OUT!

[yougo94400]

2:08 Dave " ak 47 " Lombardo

[Jazfonz]

Why wasn't Lars playing?

[debgibsonfan]

Finally....we can hear the snare drum!!!!!!

[slaxxxer]

this is Metallica as they could have been if they had a decent drummer! - lars is so crap these days it is untrue - where there used to be powerful and fast double bass he just smashes the shit out of the crash cymbal to mask his double bass ineptitude!

[sixshooter500]

holy shit... DRUMS!

[xLoRdxZeRo]

INGLIP!! 666 LIKES

[LilRCKnative1]

I bet if Dave was the drummer for Metallica, i think there music would be faster.

[snakesson]

I love how Rob comes and says "slow the fuck down bro, these guys need a break". Dave man.

[mee11mee]

fuck joey jordisons. Dave lombardo is the fucking godfater of double bass

[MetallicaRush101]

Lars was sick for this show obviously he could play the parts cause he wrote em!

[uome20bukz]

@MetallicaRush101 Lars can not do the double bass at 2:08 like that anymore.

Just because he wrote them doesn't mean he's a master of it anymore. I can write a double bass drum part for a thrash metal song, doesn't mean I'd be able to play it worth a fuck.

[CultLeader1million]

Ah so thats why metallica doesn't headbang anymore

[caceteirooooo]

WTF!? STOP ALL HATERS! LARS IS GOOD SO IS DAVE LOMBARDO! FINAL DOT!

THIS PARTICIPATION OF DAVE LOMBARDO WAS BECAUSE LARS ULRICH WAS INJURED!

[monamOneX]

from this video u can clearly see that it's not all about Lars. It's his bass microphones. Even with dave on the drums u can't hear the triplets xD I can asure u Lars plays double bass ;) Go to a live show and u'll see what I'm talking about ! ;)

[MalcolmTodd1966]

Dave Lombardo is THEE best of the big 4 metal drummers! Too bad Gene Hoglan isn't included in this group because next to Dave he comes in a very close second!

[masterofpuppets2092]

Everyone knows Lombardo is far better than Lars, Lars admitted that, hell he blows all of the big 4 drummers out of the water.

[DrummerElite13]

@masterofpuppets2092 i have to say Charlie Benante is the best drummer from the Big 4 bands, but Lars is my most inspirational drummer.

[DrummerElite13]

pretty good but Dave can u please close the high-hat! That ring is really irritating!

[PuchooX]

2:06 - 2:23 Lars losing his dignity

[italiantarma]

@PuchooX What dignity? :-D

[xInsidious]

@italiantarma Do you not hear that double bass?

[PuchooX]

@italiantarma you're right hahahaa c:

[ilikenoodles1]

@PuchooX It does sound pretty good this way, but doesn't Lars not use double bass?

[blasbembi]

@PuchooX damn true

[DarkWolf608]

Lars have lost his virginity after this... LOL

[kidder83]

Battery with double bass live? Shivers, gives me shivers

[queenmcsleaze]

/watch?v=_yw2dWQllho for those that want to relive it again and again, fully.

[wynhons]

that hi hat is pissing me off

[queenmcsleaze]

@wynhons lar's would have the drop clutch released so the cymbals were more closed than this (not tight tho)

[metallicahead666]

damn... james sounds terrible... dave lombardo is such a beast tho! =D

[lowisao]

lars sucks

[vladcjskate]

lars couldn't handle anymore?

[Maidenman1000]

dave and jordison= drums on metallica

[TheMorbidAsshole]

james voice sucks at this point.

btw.

DAVE IS BUILT FOR SLAYER . NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT

[Danimal77]

@TheMorbidAsshole

Yeah, James LAST decent year as a METAL singer was 2003.

[thebogeymaniscoming]

/watch?v=RkZ8kp8xNlM

This should shut up the Lars haters.

[judasdeathrow666]

@thebogeymaniscoming isn't cool, listen to the big 4 jam when lomberdo plays overkill, and you'll see why metallica without lars is cool

[horisk13]

WILL PEOPLE JUST SHUT UP, Lars is a great drummer and so is the rest of Metallica.

[jessicaaaaaaaxo]

get rid of kirk for mustain = best band ever'

[RustInPeace1916]

en ese concierto lombardo y jordison se lo devoraron a ulrich 

[TheSiftonStrangler]

Never actually realized how bad Hetfield sucks. Vocals are terrible.

[Danimal77]

@TheSiftonStrangler

HOW THE FUCK did you never realize this? Have you seen anything from him from 1984-1994? COMPLETELY different singer back then. BRUTAL, ANGRY, HEAVY and GAVE A SHIT.

[DjAndrew69]

Lars mades 20 accounts to press dislike to this video

[blasbembi]

@DjAndrew69 no man, Lars suicided after this...

[JARJAXA]

jaja lombardo le part el culo a lars SLAYER 1!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ragnaroksama]

oh shet! he even makes the kit sound better omahgahd

[abhs6]

People who say lars can't play have never listened to St Anger,...and justice for all........or Death magnetic for that matter...........dave lombardo and lars ulrich basically brought double bass drumming to popularity in thrash........so just coz lombardo is the best in thrash doesn't mean lars is the worst.....

[Death1458100]

@abhs6 Lars had to get lessons from the drummer from Muh Shuga so he could play Death Magnetic...

[abhs6]

@Death1458100 who care where he took lesson from.........point is he played kick ass drums on many metallica records....and yes he is nt better than dave lombardo........why does metallica need to have a world class drummer........four of them can still rock anyway..

[Danimal77]

@abhs6

He played better on the studio recordings up until The Black Album, because he actually had skill back then. Watch anything from the Justice or Black Album tour and you'll see he was REALLY good back then. He stopped trying after 1994. Actually, all of them did except for Jason.

[abhs6]

@Danimal77 well ya u cld say that......but Metallica's live concert rock now.......atleast Hetfield does..dunno about the rest

[Danimal77]

@abhs6

WRONG. There's a little Canadian band called Anvil. Ever hear of them? Well, there drummer has been doing it since 1981.

[dnldgregory]

Kirk Hammet is da man.

[HerkemerSeven]

Yes, Lombardo kills Ulrich....Damn, if only Claypool was on bass instead of Trujillo.....Hey Hetfield, I have an idea-call me!!!!!H7

[MadMart666]

There's a reason that Metallica doesn't use much long doublebass parts ;) They don't have LOMBARDO :D

[PlausableApple4]

At first i thought this was just Metallica sped up some but then when I saw Dave behind the drums i was in for a show. :D

[Ragnald89]

Dave is to fast for metallica ;p

[6Strings7Sins]

@Ragnald89 lars is too slow for hetfield

[Hemanoma]

Miss the Gibson explorer

[greatxssassin1]

Dave Lombardo is the best drummer out of all the big 4

[ponchorp]

@greatxssassin1 Yes, an Benante is the second....

[KnarrenheinZ97]

with dave they would really be one of the best bands ever! .. awesome!

[SomosCortosProd]

Lombardo = King of Speed!!!!

[greybrother01]

I think we all know that Lars isn't the best, heaviest or most technical drummer. He's totally outclassed by just about any thrash drummer, but that's because his whole style of drumming is based in classic hard rock instead of metal.

[williscameron20]

Compared to Lambordo, Lars is a bitch. Plain and simple.

[finnstroll]

2:09 beast double bass finish!!

[ismael2701]

Lombardo is the riata! bitches!!

[Manrok44]

Without Lars, Metallica wouldn't exist. He was the guy that found Metallica. People that talk shit about Lars cant say that Lars should be replaced. He is perfect for what he plays. Sure he isn't the fastest drummer like Dave, but I sure as hell think that Lars, technicality wise, would win. Speed doesn't make the drummer.

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

@Manrok44 Dude, no he wouldn't. Lars is so repetitive. Listen to "Bug Juice," seriously. Technically, neither Joey or Lars can touch that piece or anything in fantomas.

[MaRioAKAXboX360]

@Manrok44 Holy shit,you don't know anything about drumming(or spelling),do you?

[thegaryjeffrey]

The hihat in this video makes my ears bleed. It's horrible.

[Tetratic]

Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me cannot stop the LOMBARDO...2:08

[anselmo1410]

ULRICH IS A BITCH A TENNIS PLAYER WITH NO SENSE OF DRUMMING

[LordVerdo]

@anselmo1410 Watch the 80s, bullshit he knows how to drum. His new kit sucks and so do his mics.

[danielcrs8]

2:08 . Lars would've died at that one.

[clarkyboy95]

@danielcrs8 Funny because lars can do that fill, he does it every time they play battery, lol.

[slaxxxer]

@danielcrs8 Spot on!
