  > - Trashing Lars It's a popular thing to do but one thing people never talk about is how influential he was in writing all those songs back in the day. Him and James Hetfield would sit down with all the riffs and piece them together to create songs. Lars was super important in this and had really great taste in terms of styling the music the "Metallica" way. He was very good at knowing what "sounds good" and directing the arrangement of the songs.

    Yeah, the way the band tells it, he got nervous on stage and just kept playing faster and faster, and accidentally invented Thrash Metal. All the good will he burned up with Napster I think he never recovered from in the eyes of fans.

      Maybe. But regardless he’s a major songwriter and the drummer on “Master of Puppets” which is, to me, the finest metal album of all time and a top rock album as well. It’s perfect. But a lot of this goes to Cliff Burton as what was accomplished on this album was quickly lost. And his influence is obvious. Just beautiful bass and backend on these songs. Just magical.
