I was just looking up Lars Ulrich's Wikipedia

[Not bad]

He's Jewish.

 

[satanssockpuppet]

The rest of the band consisted of genuine, lower-middle class California dirtbags, but Lars was a pampered, well-to-do fancy boy, going to tennis school like a character in "Infinite Jest" or something. The fascinating thing about Ulrich is how he actually became a worse drummer over time. He was never great, like a Dave Lombardo, but he was at least passable, but as time went on he just grew worse and worse. There's a video where Lombardo sat in with Metallica and the band is stunned by how Lombardo actually stays in time throughout the song, unlike Lars' sloppy horseshit.

I used to play the drums myself. I was always fascinated by how shitty Lars was/is despite playing for so long. If drumming is your job, why not take the time to learn some rudimentaries, like how to play double strokes and drum rolls. Practise that for a few days and it will benefit you forever after. But apparently he's too lazy or something.

Even James outplays him when they have that drum battle during the Black album tour.

Can a brothaman tell me if it's worth watching the Metallica documentree?

 

[Carl Winslow]

Lars and James both wanted to end the band like over 20 fucking years ago. Lars wanted to go into movie / documentaries making , and James really wanted to try and have a shot in country.

But Metallica is a house hold name and has been since before the black album. All they have to do is a few shows and their kid’s college is paid for.

I don’t think they hate each other, but James is pretty honest in interviews and has no issue talking rather personal about Lars. My guess is that at this point it’s a professional friendship; one that they easily make millions with.

The way they treated Newstead shows what kind of people they really are.

They really motherfucked my boy Dave Mustaine as well.

At first, he didn't stand out either way. He wasn't a "holy shit" drummer like Lombardo, but it wasn't like everyone thought he sucked, either. He just sort of "was". Then, the gayer they got, the worse his drumming became. And it was surprising, as they weren't doing straight-up thrash anymore, so you'd assume it was somewhat easier. But I guess not.

They actually miscue in that video because the band is used to keeping time to James and not the drummer

 

[DeadWithoutMyDavid]

Well I guess I won't be tuning in to Mandatory Metallica anymore

I can take or leave Metallica but i love the Mustaine!

He's definitely good on the first five albums; not amazing, like you say. It's worth pointing out though that he totally shit the bed on their best recorded concert while they were in their prime:

Newstead finally said in an interview why he walked. Newstead had his own band, and wanted to sell t shirts, James said he couldn’t lol. Newstead walked lol.

In the DVD extras of the Some Kind of Monster doc, it's revealed that Jason asked to be let back in the band, and they denied him. I wonder if that was just faked in order to make him look pathetic. He basically said that being a part of therapy was gay, and he lives on a property of 100s of acres or some shit.

They're such money hungry cunts, it's unbelievable.

 

[Carl Winslow]

Jason seems like a cool dude in interviews. He seems like a chill dude where Lars always comes off as an annoying loud cunt and James try’s to act “alpha”.

I havnt went down the bands BS in a while but I couldn’t see Jason asking asking to come back? Maybe he did?

Lars was the least talented musician in the band, thus he was always being challenged and pushed by his other, more talented band mates. But once Metallica became the Lars and James show, Lars became complacent, the music itself became less demanding, and Lars stagnated. His contemporaries, like Lombardo and Charlie Benante, are still in demand, and playing with all kinds of different bands, but no one is asking for Lars. He doesn't even really have an identifiable style, where you're instantly like "Oh, that's a Lombardo fill" or "that's pure Vinnie Paul". Even Peter Criss had an identifiable style.

And no one would even care or bother to point it out if only he wasn't such a weaselly little faggot. That stupid affectation when he speaks, that whole obnoxious Lars attitude, he's just an annoying, easy-to-dislike guy.

Jason always seemed like a good egg who found himself in an impossible situation, and handled it about as well as anyone could expect. Burton was more or less the leader of the band. He was the oldest, the smartest, the best musician, the most respected, the most feared. He was an often serious guy, in a way that the rest of them weren't. So he died, and they immediately hired a new bass player, but internally the band was now rudderless, and the two most dominant remaining personalities were an angry depressed alcoholic and a hyper Danish fancy lad. And we all know how that eventually unfolded. They shit all over Jason and he merited none of it.

I agree with everything except this, because Cliff would've become a faggot with the rest of them. He was artsy fartsy, and like a lot of these types he would've sold out but have become "an artist" and would have fallen in with the makeup and haircuts in the late 90s. And I LIKE Cliff Burton.

To give Jason even more credit, he was better in live performances. His energy was unbelievable.

Mustaine has always been based (although he found out he was part Jewish late in life and is some weird born again Israel supporter, I dunno) but by God, after Youthanasia are they hit and miss. I listened to one song from their last album and I'm like, nah mate. Not happening.

I respectfully disagree, as Burton was cool in ways the rest of them weren't. I believe he would have walked before participating in things like "Load". Then again, you never know. I think he'd have preferred death to getting one of those fruity "Load" haircuts.

I always though Jason was a great replacement and yeah, he was bad-ass live. What they did to him on "Justice" was just so, so shitty and petty. Says a lot about him how he stuck it out after that and made it work.

The thing about Mustaine is that he's just a natural-born asshole who genuinely enjoys being a dick and alienating people. It's why Metallica kicked him out and it's why no one lasts in Megadeth for very long. He can play, he can write, he chooses excellent musicians to work with, but no one can tolerate him for very long.

I know nothing about Metallica and it's members, but this is enough for me to hate this faggot.

That's why I love him. He's exactly what an artist should be: a temperamental prick, and he's earned it.

Nah, he had a fucked up upbringing. His family was ditched by his father, he was raised a Jehovah's Witness, he got into witchcraft and the occult in his teens, he got kicked out of Metallica for being too much of an alcoholic, he's one of the greatest rhythm guitarists in America... he's weird and interesting.
