More like why they still allow lars to fuck up on the drums svery night and not find a new drummer who can keep a rhythm. There is a video out there of Joey Jordison (RIP) of Slipknot fame playing an entire concert with Metallica and it's literally so much better. He's playing the parts that Lars wrote, just on time.
Dave Lombardo too, from that same gig. Lars was too hungover to play. James actually had to keep up with the drummer for once, instead of the other way around.
No, that's Hetfield that wrote most of the music. Lars just paid for the band to exist while being a mediocre drummer with no plans to get better at it.
Idk why people say this. Hetfield writes most of the music, I know Lars contributes some input but he doesn’t “compose most of the music” like this comment implies
James Herfield doesn't exist? He can also fire himself by simply acknowledging that his prime is behind him and he's not able to keep up with the band anymore.
Wouldn't have Metallica without Lars. They've managed to become literally one of the greatest bands of all time with him on the drums. Id say he's doing just fine.
Then he got old and slow and can't keep a rhythm. Of course he's doing fine monetarily or whatever, but that doesn't counter the argument I made. Are you some kind of Lars stan?
No, just love Metallica. Seen them twice in the last year and they sounded fantastic. Sometimes loving your bandmates is more important than a drummer that can be 1ms faster when needed.
It's not just 1ms. I love Metallica too, Lars is a bad drummer.you can both be a fan and be objective at the same time. Lars is also an all time great asswipe just generally sooooo
Sounds pretty damn good and has played drums on some pretty damn successful tracks for a bad drummer.
Technical skillset aside....simply put, there is no Metallica without Lars. For that reason alone, I love the guy, and wouldnt want anyone else creating Metallica tracks with James.
