... has an AWESOME Flemming Rasmussen interview about his time with Metallica during '...And Justice For All', specifically the track 'One'.
It certainly made me appreciate Lars' playing a lot more, especially compared to some modern metal productions where the drummer barely plays most of the actual performance!
(an exaggeration, but I'm sure you've worked with some who do need an incredible amount of editing! I know I have.)
His kicks during the gallopy part were insanely tight and he did it all in one take. The only 'editing' that took place was on other parts, and even that was only in the interest of getting it 'machine tight' rather than it being due to any playing errors. They cut and re-joined the tape in the tiniest increments, so it was pretty much tight as could be. It took 3 days (just for 'One'!) to finish but by the time it was done it was like a computer-quantised piece.
Anyway, the article is really detailed and goes into every minor bit of the signal chain on all instruments! I never buy this mag, but I'm glad I picked up this issue. It was worth every penny just for that one article.
Also, FWIW: The bass sounded amazing, apparently![Cry :cry: :cry:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
