So does that mean anything else than that Lars is able to play semi-fast double bass with (probably) 7000 takes and a few tons of studio trickery? Praise the songwriting if you will, but Lars is a shitty, shitty drummer with no feel, no sense of groove, no inventiveness, no nothing. He can just barely keep time on the studio albums, but NEVER adds ANYTHING to the music. Granted, he doesn't really take away anything either, but that's because he basically doesn't DO anything but go 4/4 4/4 4/4

I don't think you could be more wrong.

As someone who y'know, actually SAW METALLICA LIVE in the late '80s, Lars was a PRE-EMINENT drummer at that time. No one's disputing that his suckitude today has become the stuff of legends, but to just dismiss his drum brilliance of 1983-1990 is to admit your own ignorance.

Fini.

Metallica Megadeth Slayer and S.O.D.

You're getting dangerously close to full-blown #10 mate.

no he's still shit

 

[Erik]

It's not the same thing, but whatever floats your boat.

In the meantime:

Seventh Son > s/t
Justice > Kill em All
Master of Reality > s/t
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss > s/t

and of course,

Rust in Peace > *.*

yeah so? not everyone is like slayer and gets tired by the fourth album

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

You're far too music-intelligent to have such a stupid opinion.

 

[Erik]

OK unless he played the songs COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY live than in the studio he was still shit. Yes -- he might have been able to play the songs correctly without getting tired back in the 80's, but he was still UNIMAGINATIVE and STIFF AS A GOD DAMN STICK. There are no memorable Lars Ulrich drum moments, nothing that makes me smile or go ... If he didn't SUCK, he sure was one of the most BORING drummers ever

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I think you're comparing him to modern drummers, and the things that these animals can do today.

Lars was doing some pretty incredible stuff in 1984, for Pete's sake.

 

[Erik]

What

I thought fuckin Clive Burr was 100 times better in '81? Cozy Powell? 100 other drummers

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

No.

 

[Erik]

Bullplop IMO

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I always thought of lars' drumming as competent at best. I can think of plenty of drummers before and during Ulrich's "peak" in the 80's that crushed him though. I agree with Erik that none of his drumming ever stood out to me, even on early albums.

Clive Burr had a cool last name tho.

Funnily enough, stick a pair of drum sticks in this dude's hands and he would be better than Lars too

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

LMAO

Good one.

ROTFLMFAO!!!!

 

[Hell Mike]

Disposable heroes is probably my fave Ulrich drumming song for some reason

That's exactly the song JayK and I were prattling on about last Friday night. Fucking killer drumming.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Yea, I forgot I wasnt allowed to agree with Erik on anything or I'd be called one of his followers . Couldnt be that we just seem to have to same opinion on a lame drummer.
