LOL Ya know, years ago I use to defend Lars, and his performance on the earlier material is awesome(such as Ride the Lightning etc....), but he has definitely became a very lazy and horrible drummer. He doesn't even attempt to do some of the more complicated stuff from the earlier albums anymore. It's so obvious. I'm a drummer myself and even some of my non-drummer friends have commented how bad he has become....Whether it's because he's just flat out lazy or out of shape I don't know. I have some of the very early shows on VHS and he was much much MUCH better then. He was nailing all his fills, etc.... So something has went wrong. He may not have ever been a GREAT drummer, but right now, he's horrible!!
