Well lars is a badass drummer..just because he doesnt play a bunch of blast speed mainstream crap doesnt mean he sucks..hes badass with double bass, blast speeds, and pretty much all drum technique.

[LouisUKGreen]

@MattallicaOriginal And he has to be one of the most energetic drummers I have ever seen. Fuck the Haters. Metallica Forever! Haha

[ohhmytralala]

@MattallicaOriginal haha! Metallica. . . . mainstream. . . . hahaha!

[DrCWinkie]

@MattallicaOriginal : "and pretty much all drum technique" HaHa ..

i can't stand people going well this musician is better than this one. imo it doesn't really matter. if they are able to make stuff that goes good with the songs for their own band, what's it matter if a player in another band has a bit more talent. there are gonna be people at different talent levels no matter if they are big bands or small. why do people pick apart every little thing for every band. you're sucking the fun out making music and listening to it..

[AuralOverdose]

Just because Lars doesn't do fast drum tracks, doesn't mean that they are bad. Some of his slower beats sound the coolest. Like the intro to Until It Sleeps or Wherever I May Roam.

damn, people have their own opinions.

what, yours is the correct opinion and everyone else is wrong? shut the fuck up.

[knasroll]

@iceheadstudios yeah, but he gets waaay to much attention from retarded people who actually thinks that he's better than Nicko McBrain for example.

[iceheadstudios]

I understand that, but he does get the job done, albeit sloppily.

[knasroll]

@iceheadstudios lars is actully a bad drummer, seeing how long he's been playing and seeing how famouse metallica is, you'd expect more advanced comps

[rwoods2k]

hehe...just spend 5 mins teaching the monkey simple heel/toe technique and he will get it.
