Lars is by far the most influential metal drummer. The guy's innovative kick drum fills were the speed metal pearls of the eighties. Loved to listen to them then, and I still do.

I think the entire decade of the 2000’s up until 2012 might have been Lars’s worst period of drumming. The level of laziness and his inability to play his drum parts like the albums really shows in the time period. I did read somewhere that James and Kirk finally had a come to Jesus meeting with Lars’s live performances. After Metallica played the Glastonbury Festival a few years ago is when they told him he needs to tighten up. Lars literally and completely screwed up the timing of Creeping Death and played the first section of the song twice leaving James, Kirk, and Rob lost and confused. Luckily James being a good frontman and leader managed to save the performance and song without stopping and making it look too obvious. In Lars’s defense now, I think his live drumming has improved and is much better than it was back in the 2000’s and early 2010’s. Clearly his best days of drumming are long behind him but he has been doing a much better job since the release of 2016’s Hardwired to Self Destruct. What I find completely astonishing is that Kirk is the one making mistakes live by screwing up his guitar parts.

I think a big part of Lars' problem is that even in the early days, when they were originally recording some of their big hits, he was a wildly inconsistent drummer. Listen to Master of Puppets; he almost never plays the same bar twice. He just can't help but throw in random crashes and fills. And now, all these years later, it's no wonder he can't remember how to play them. Now, not only does he just throw in random fills, he can't even keep them in time anymore. I think that's why the Black Album was so popular; it was just back to basics. Most songs on the album Lars just plays a standard beat with bass on 1 & 3 and snare on 2 & 4. Which let the rest of the band have a bit more fun with it. But now he can't even play those songs right.
