This sounds (literally) terrible.

There’s a ton of bands that have lasted and kept things solid without changing too much. At the surface there’s bands like Overkill, Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower…

It's me! the one person in the world who likes st anger. I was a kid when it came out. My dad and I listened to it a lot in the car on the way to like, guides meetings and music lessons. I just have a lot of nostalgia for it We saw them when they were promoting Death Magnetic and I listened to that album a lot throughout high school, seeing as it was released like a week into my first year of it. I'd probably see them again given a chance for similar reasons - sometimes you just gotta do stuff for the sake of your teenaged self 😅

Death Magnetic and Hardwired have some solid tunes. Also the black album is probably one of the best albums for beginner guitarists and bassists to learn some heavier stuff that's fun to play. Metallica owns.

Dr. Capco posted:Death Magnetic and Hardwired have some solid tunes. I've listened to both a few times and am pretty sure I would have really really liked them if they'd come out in, like, the mid-90s. Things being as they are, I've just never been able to care much. Their mid-90s output stands as not bad but just not something I enjoy listening to very often; St. Anger was the nail in the coffin. Will always love their first four albums, and like the fifth. Obviously, I'm one of those middle-aged nerds whose gateway drug into metal was those 80s albums. (Specifically, I flipped into full-on metalhead mode in autumn of 1988, when I started high school and over the course of a few weeks randomly came across Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer and Testament. By the next summer I was listening to Bathory...)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AMNdYJbocI Y'all gonna tell me you wouldn't be in that crowd chanting die with everybody else? Or would you be at the back, with your arms crossed, telling everybody you liked Metallica better when it was James, Lars, Ron and Dave? Ya big fuckin' nerd. They still rule. Also, Load is a loving great album. Reload has some great songs but a fair bit of filler. St. Anger has some killer riffs that are buried under that godawful snare and terrible songwriting. Death Magnetic is a decent comeback, but I don't listen to it much. Hardwired has some legitimately great stuff on it (Spit out The Bone is loving awesome and cooler than anything since Black album) but if it was 1 disc instead of 2, it would've been a much better album.

Lars is was and will always be the reason I can't get into Metallica deeper than surface level. So distracting in how blase, how boring his style is. Throw in his actual inability to perform and count time and it's just cherry on top poo poo. edit - like it's cheating to be like OH THE SNARKY PUPPY DRUMMER DID IT BETTER but seriously, Larnell Lewis on a single listen & groove puts down a better performance on Enter Sandman than Lars ever could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_UcjMusUA Omnikin fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Sep 24, 2021 |

I always really liked Lars’ drumming honestly. It’s “simple” but sounds great on the albums. Nice base for Hetfield’s rhythm to lock into.

Noone ever said it needed to be a flaired out filled out blast beat under each track. Again, peep the LL cover video I linked before. Dude's a monster drummer but appreciates the simplicity of it and just adds a little bit here and there to help out in ways that Lars can't conceptualize, I don't think. Without even getting into poo poo like being unable to count correctly in Blackened (however that made it through the studio, whatever) At the end of the day his simple playing is boring and he can't even play it correctly live so like... what the gently caress you doing mate

I think the only time I ever actually noticed his drumming, good or bad, was on Blackened. That song has good drums, every other song I forget Lars even exists New releases Friday: Sadness / To Be Gentle split, depressive blackgaze / screamo Rude, dm Shadowstrike, pm Idle Hands has changed their name to Unto Others and have a new album on non-BC, gothic trad Waldgefluester, bm Warning's WFAD in it's entirety live Aorlhac on non-BC, meloblack Paradox on non-BC, speedy thrashy traddy pm Rivers of Nihil, progressive death Succumb, blackened death A Pale Horse Named Death, gothic doom Wraith, thrash Cognizance, tech death Virial, tech death Lunar Spells, bm Veilburner, progressive bm Ars Moriendi, atmoblack Morbid Messiah, dm Eteritus, blackened death Wretched Inferno, brutal death

I have a pet theory that Metallica could never be as big as they are without Lars’ awful drumming. It’s an advertisement people don’t like, but never stop talking about because how could one of the biggest bands ever have such a bad drummer?

It's weird because usually (imo) thrash bands live or die by their drummer, but somehow Lars is bad in such a particular way that--with a lot of help from Hetfield--they hit that same "the wheels are gonna fall off at any minute" feel that thrash bands with good drummers get.

Lars is a great drummer for hard rock stuff like The Black Album. I love his part on Sad But True for example (did anyone else play Guitar Hero: Metallica? It was the most fun non-Mastodon song to drum). He is a mediocre thrash drummer who is massively outshined by his peers in the Big 4 and beyond.

That new Aorlhac is fantastic and I'm glad the shithead from Suhnopfer isn't drumming on it, and the WFAD live recording sounds incredible so far. This is probably the best Friday release day for me personally

Eh, I think Lars' simple drumming is what made them so much more accessible. A lot of the thrashy Metallica doesn't sound that thrashy 'cos Lars isn't doing the Slayer beat for an entire album.

It's extra funny because I recall back in the 80's my metalhead friends all thought Lars was a god, like they'd talk about how his drum heads only had marks in the very center because of how precise he was, lmao.

Without even getting into poo poo like being unable to count correctly in Blackened (however that made it through the studio, whatever) I 100% agree. Lars just sticks to alternating bass and snare 1 and 3 with the hi-hat on top. It just gets boring really quickly. First time watching Larnell there, but what he did is pretty much exactly what I'd want, and maybe then I'd be a Metallica fan. I might get laughed out of the thread, but my intro to actually listening to metal and liking it was Periphery in 2008. Also, thanks for reminding me about the new Rivers of Nihil. Putting it on now.
