- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 3y agoMy friends say that he’s not a good drummer. They don’t play for Metallica though and I wish they were a bit more humble. Also most of them are software engineers and I don’t think they would like to know what I think of their code and documentation.
- midoridensha 3y agoI don't have to be an actor or movie director to tell you confidently that "Battlefield: Earth" is a bad movie.
- Guthur 3y agoI think much of the song arrangement is likely from Lars. There is a video somewhere of Hammett describing how he shared a riff for one of their songs and Lars said "play that but 3 times them end on that" or something to that effect. Live performances may not be super tight but it's OK because Hetfield is a better drummer (at least he keeps the rhythm)
- midoridensha 3y agoMetallica would be a lot better if they hired a new drummer, and Lars just became a manager.
- sornaensis 3y agoFor sure, the band is Lars and James. People like to hate on Lars and Hammett out of jealousy I guess, they’re both really successful in a genre that celebrates technical prowess, while not being technical players.
