Hey! This is my first KZitem video with this type of content and actually my second KZitem video ever. I uploaded a previous one but deleted it because I didn’t like it (and I had uploaded a couple of shorts before, but I removed them because they didn’t fit my channel anymore). So I’m sure there are some editing mistakes. The two most important ones I think are Lloyd Grant's quote (it is from a LouderSound/MetalHammer interview) and the part from 3:41 to 4:45 (which is a paraphrase of an interview Brian Slagel gave to The Metal Voice podcast). While I included the sources in the Google Docs file in the video description, I should have also included them in the video itself. I considered deleting and re-uploading the video since it only has 2k views, but some people have already left cool comments and I don’t want to remove their contributions because they took the time to write them. Instead, I'll pin this comment so everyone can see it first. Thanks for watching! 🤘

I think Lars involvement not only with the music but merchandising, management and probably a bunch more that we don't see necessarily gets missed 🤔. Great video and hope to see the re-upload.

As much crap Lars gets for his drumming compared to other Metal bands, Lars deserves props for his strengths in arrangement and business. Metallica would never have gone as far as they did without him.

He's very strategic. 1986 with Peter Mensch they have pulled Vertigo Europe arm of Elektra some muscle on distribution of their material in the EU market. All other band members thought he was conniving and rumored to be booted out. But his intention was to shove Metallica to the masses in the 80s more than word of mouth. Their social media managers were all young and bright and their ideas were considered and necessary for the band to thrive in the modern era.

Absolutely outstanding work, mate. It's so refreshing to see someone give this legend the praise and respect he deserves. Lars is one of the best musicians/ composers of our generation, and no facebook keyboard warrior will ever convice me otherwise.

Kirk even lightly questioned Lars about this "u must be more involved than I realize " Lars "u have no idea ". Something to that effect 🤔

@@HeyDearMusician all we are is human. If someone seems more or less human than the next should we condemn them? Overblown is an overstatement. I've heard mostly that he can't play live and that they hate saint anger and the sound of the drum. But if anyone else was put into the same place they wouldn't have done shit because they never would have been there. They would have been living their own dumb lives. Like we all do. Don't make your lives dumb by hating others, lift yourselves up by being your best or fuck whatever. Lol see if I care.

Great video man! The hate on Lars is so ridiculous. People just parroting others with no idea what they’re talking about. They act like because Metallica is so big that just mean Lars claims to be the best drummer. Two things can be true, they’re one of the greatest and he’s a good drummer not great.

He’s not the greatest drummer, but it’s fits perfectly for Metallica. same way Kirk’s wah pedal also fits a lot of the solos, Lars excels tho at songwriting and giving ideas for riffs like for enter sandman, saying “you hear The 2 and 1 in that?” he’s a genius and a lot of hateful fans probably know that but refuse to admit it just because his drumming is “out of tempo” or “rushed” he’s in his 60s and he’s still touring the world with the rest of the band so I say he’s still doing something right.

Thanks a lot, I'm really glad you liked it! Yeah, exactly. I think criticizing Lars for his 'simple' rhythms and patterns isn’t really fair because his style is a big part of what makes Metallica sound like they do. It’s kind of like ripping on Phil Rudd from AC/DC for playing simple grooves. Sure, you could replace him with a more technical drummer, but the band would no longer sound like AC/DC.

True, I tried not to focus on his drumming but rather on his business and management side in this video. But yes, he does have a really original drumming style. If you listen to an isolated drum track from one of Metallica's songs, you can probably recognize the song just by the drums alone. That says a lot, haha. Thank you for your comment!
