Good point

He's crap but that's why I like him. Metallica doesn't sound quite right with a "good" drummer, as awesome as that one performance with Dave Lombardo was. Kirk Hammett, by his own admission, isn't all that great, either, but Metallica would sound wrong if Dave stayed in the band or if John Petrucci or someone took over.

He got a lot worse with age.



I'm not even sure Lombardo practiced with them before this.

Hahahahahaha. Speak of the devil - I love that clip. Partly because Dave is awesome, partly because you can hear the band going out of sync in places because they're so used to compensating for Lars being off and Dave isn't having any of that shit.

Anyway, fuck this shit, I'm going to go listen to Ride The Lightning right fucking now.

Robert Trujillo seems to be the only one truly enjoying playing with Lombardo. The other two seem dazed.

Crap

Always a good idea. My favorite guitar tone ever, that amp sounds like it's about to explode.

Since I saw a video once about Metallica's tour gear, I know they have a warm-up room set up backstage where they can play a few songs before they go on, so they would have had a quick run through in the warm-up room I guess.

If you're a touring arena rock band, having a backstage rehearsal space seems like not a bad idea. Especially if Lars is in the band.

We are being surveilled. This showed up on youtube when I went there. I don't know who this woman is and have never searched for Metallica or Lars Ulrich. Also I'm not a Pinkerton.

HA. She looks pretty bored.

Both YT and IG have goofy algorithms on a good day. "We see you clicked on guitar stuff, therefore here's some recent tour footage of The Black Crowes..".

Or maybe just creepy, I wouldn't rule it out *shrug*

Poor Lars. She also seems to be more into Dave Lombardo.
