Is LARS ULRICH Playing Some Of His Best Shows In 20 Years? JAMES HETFIELD Weighs In

During an appearance on a recent episode of "The Metallica Report", the podcast offering weekly insider updates on all things METALLICA, METALLICA frontman James Hetfield was asked if he would agree that Lars Ulrich is "probably playing some of the best gigs he's played in well over a decade, if not 20 years," on the ongoing "M72" tour. James responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I'd say this tour in general, the last two years, we've been building up to it. Absolutely. Absolutely playing great.

"I hope he's having fun and [is] not too worried about his playing, 'cause he would let his emotions just take him," Hetfield continued. "Now he's a little more concerned about the click track and playing along with it, being solid.

"But, yeah, I think as a group, we are all playing really, really great, really tight," James added. "And it doesn't scare me, but I don't mind fucking things up. It's fun. There's still mistakes — or not mistakes, but there's still unique moments that happen, and it's good. We don't want to be that frickin' polished machine up there at all, so no matter how practiced, no matter how good we think we're doing, there's still stuff that happens."

Three years ago, Lars told METALLICA's So What! fan-club magazine that he is no longer bothered by people's criticism of his drumming abilities. At the time, the Danish-born musician said: "Unlike years ago, I basically don't read any of the interviews that the other guys [in METALLICA] do. 20 or 30 years ago, we would all sit and fucking read every page of Kerrang! and every page of Circus magazine, see what so-and-so's saying and what the other band members were saying, what James [Hetfield, METALLICA guitarist/vocalist] was saying about this and that. Now there's just none of that. I also don't really read what people say about METALLICA.

"I'll say that occasionally, once every six months or something like that, it's kind of fun to go through the trolling section just because of the ridiculousness of all of it, but it's not something that I do regularly anymore," he revealed. "20 years ago, it would've been, 'Oh, my God, somebody said something bad,' or, 'That person said a nasty comment in the comments section,' or whatever. Now, none of that really means anything to me."

Back in 2016, Ulrich, who has gotten a lot of flak over the years from people who accused him of being a poor drummer, told the "Talk Is Jericho" podcast that he went through a period in the mid-1980s "that probably culminated in the 'Justice' album where I felt sort of compelled to try to show ability."

According to Lars, part of the reason for him feeling insecure about his abilities was the increased competition from some of his peers.

"Listen, when you've got Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benante breathing down your back, it was, like, 'Okay, I've gotta…' I tried to step it up a little bit and tried to do my own thing and do all this crazy shit," he said. "I was trying really hard to push the drums kind of into the foreground. And then, after like a year or two of that, I was, like, 'Okay. Seriously? Just do your thing. Chill out. Support the riffs. Do what's best for the song.' So since around I guess the late '80s — so I guess it's been, like, 25 years now — the only thing that's really interested me is just doing the best thing for the song."

Asked in a 2008 interview with U.K.'s Rhythm magazine if he was troubled by the fact that he's gotten a lot of flak over the years from people who accused him of being a poor drummer, Lars said: "It used to, back in the day — and I spent a lot of time overcompensating for that on the early records. But then you wake up one day and you're like, whatever. It hasn't bothered me for [many] years. I'm no Joey Jordison, I'm no Mike Portnoy, and I have nothing but love and respect and admiration for all those guys. When I hear some of the young dudes, they blow my mind with what they can do with their feet and stuff — but it's not something that makes me go, 'I need to feel better about myself so I'm gonna learn how to do what they do with my feet.' I'm not a particularly accomplished drummer but I am very, very, very good at understanding the role of the drums next to James Hetfield's rhythm guitar. I guarantee you I'm the best guy in the world for that, and that's enough for me."

Ulrich stated about his playing ability in a 2012 interview with DRUM! magazine: "I usually feel like I've regressed. [Laughs] I'm like, 'Why can't I do that anymore?'" He continued: "I can't say that I necessarily sit down to practice, like, 'I'm going to play and practice so I can get better.' What happens is that I just sit down and kind of play to just more stay in shape."

Ulrich added: "You know, METALLICA was up to two or three months off [in 2011], and I would sit down, I have an iPod next to my drums so I can play along to all kind of crazy stuff, and try to see if I can land in the same zip code of some of that stuff occasionally. But I can't say that I sit down to necessarily practice to sort of get better. For most of my stuff, it's about listening and about interpreting stuff that I'm listening to. So all the kind of sitting down and, you know, 'Now I'm going to do thirty-second-note paradiddles standing on my head — you know what I mean? I don't do that kind of stuff so much. For me it's more about the regimen of staying in shape, running every day, eating healthy, you know, being on top of that side of it."

Отстраненной игру Ларса точно не назовешь.

Отлично, так и скажу начальнику: "это не ошибка, а уникальный момент".

Fo0x, В жизни как-то всё же обычно больше хочется стабильности и предсказуемости, с которыми у Ларса случаются проблемы. Его "уникальную"игру спасает лишь то, что именно под нее он же на пару с Джеймсом все композиции и сочиняет.

Да неплохо неплохо играет, на последних концертах, по крайней мере сразу видно старается.

Один из уникальных моментов Ларса.

Rutger, да им похуй, как и фанатам - металика может даже не играть, а просто стоять на сцене, попивать пиво и ссать в лицо фанатам, и те все равно будут в восторге.

WahrandPhain, и в принципе сложно их в этом будет обвинять)

нет, не плотная, и проблема в одном из гитаристов, имя которого и произносить не нужно, и так все сразу поняли. Раньше не понимал, почему он деградирует, а теперь понял, что дело в не руках и не в недостатке практики (концертов у них хватает), а из-за головы, судя по тому, как он с каждым годом хуже играет, и какие абсурдные вещи озвучивает в интервью.

Сколько техничных каверщиков есть, да даже если вспомнить Download 2004, то, наверное, только Ломбардо может уместно заменить Ларса, да и то только в тяжёлых песнях. Хз как бы он простые партии с Black Album сыграл с точки зрения грува, поэтому да, Ларс кривой, простой, но как нельзя лучше подходит этой группе, потому что по факту там все просто чуваки с соседнего дома с плюс минус ок уровнем владения инструментами
