There's something I don't understand. He's been a drummer for 40 years now. How can he still be "not good"?

  Probably because he doesn’t dedicate himself to the craft. Musicians tend to get better with age, not worse.

    To a point. Drumming requires a lot more stamina than other instruments, so after a certain point, drummers have a hard time playing as well as they did when younger. We're seeing this now with Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain, who's over 70. It's not like this for guitars/bass, but again with Iron Maiden, people are saying that they aren't running around the stage they way they did in the past. Age isn't Lars's problem though.

  the only time they didn't criticize him was back in the 90s when the whole band was high on drugs all the time, I guess.
