YES thank you. I tell people/newer fans that gush over Lars and dogpile me when I say Lars isn’t good to go watch this from a guy who doesn’t even know the song lmao.
The fact that Dave isn't fully aware of the breaks and timings somehow makes it more impressive - because it shows he really did wing it with no time to prepare. Even when he gets them wrong his ability to recover is inhuman. Absolute legend.
If only they had the privilege of playing with Robert Trujillo for the rest of their lives... It's not every day you get a bassist capable of...oh, I don't know... Everything????!!!!
I was there that night. It took Metallica to a whole new level for me with Dave on the drums, every hit of that snare felt like I was on the receiving end of a prime Mike Tyson right hand to the chest.
@@mikek1274 Shite take. Nah, like most metal musicians, they are Metallica fans in one form or another. I'm sure Dave knew the song, but you're givin the man a few hours notice to play a legendary song all while he has his own set list to think of. All the drummers killed it that day, but just think what these songs could/would sound like if Lars actually gave a shit about bein a better drummer.
Now we see that James ve got somerimes problem when the drums alk time on tempo and when he is a little in not time Rio early or After he have to try plays to bee on time not that Lars that they Wach other plays wrong and im time on feeling
Crap, that was some of the best Metallica I’ve heard. Dave’s approach to drumming is natural and proficient. Man, that double-kick sounds even more ferocious on Metallica.
Yep. Normally Hetfied is driving the tunes and Lars is meandering around them. Sometimes fast sometimes slow sometimes I. The pocket. This shows how Lombardo was driving Hetfields tempo…early on there is a really crisp slightly ahead of time cymbal hit that demonstrates this perfectly. The drumming at the end is all perfectly consistent in its timing despite all hell being unleashed on that kit. It’s Lars gig but you can’t deny they sound more metal with Lombardo
Back in the day, he would come into a session to do his live recordings for Slayer, play the entire album, no warm ups no practice and that was it, he did this over and over again for the albums, most famously south of heaven. 1 and done, the man is a drumming legend.
@@raminbohlouli1969 no. They are two different drummers with different styles. To be honest Jordison did a bit of "overplaying", Lombardo did exactly what was needed to play the song.
Relentless attack from Lombardo, really keeping the band on its toes. That double kick-drum is just next level, and yet it feels like he's barely pushing himself...Monster!
I was honored back in 2022 at Masters of Rock in Czechia. I witnessed Dave Lombardo's live performance with Exodus and was blown away instantly. Poor Lars
I bet every member at this point in time said to themselves: dam I wish Dave was our guy full time behind the kit!!!!! You could tell they all really enjoyed the fullness Dave brings with his drumming style!!!!
very true. lars ain't no drummer. he just happened to play drums for metallica but a drummer he is not. that being said, his clumsy drumlines somehow fitted very well with james' riffing
K let's get this right I can understand Cliff and Jason sitting this one out but there is no excuse for Lars to not be there wtf is going on here!? Don't get me wrong... Dave sounded good on what looked to be Lars's set? Or did Dave bring his own? 2nd ly ... what happened to James's voice!? Omg! That singer can actually carry a good note James must have been lip syncing that's not what Metallica is supposed to sound like the Metallica I remember had some excellently distorted bass guitar even some slap going on from a complete genius in Cliff Burton Jason was an entirely different animal but one of the best ever in my opinion nuff said there James's singin is something totally different than what I grew up to and I'm not sure I like it why man...why did you do it?!
Lol bro...Dave Lombardo is very accustom to playing behind ultra shitty solos...you can't hate Kirk's leads in defense of slayers...slayers leads are trash lol
Dave Lombardo always gives powerpacked performances. Every hot is great and knocks the audience. He completely changed the environment when he played the drums.
I'm not even particularly a metal fan, a Metallica fan or a Slayer fan, but this is absolutely insane. Lombardo is incredible. It's like a steam train at full power. 4.35 is truly mental.
Such a technical drummer. There is a consistency in his playing that is really hard to define. It's especially notourious here where one is used to Lars' more raucous approach.
Same thought, they weren't used to this, I recall back when this happened it was like an inevitable life line for the band at that time cuz they were fucking baaaaad in the early aughts, like shitty bad,
The bass line definition is stratospheric. Rob TRUJILLO you're a f***ing monster of a bass player man. Mean that with utmost respect though. Downright crazy
This is a much better version of this performance than other videos I’ve seen - you can see more of Dave. I can’t stop watching it. Thanks for uploading!
This was the best drum performance of Battery i have ever heard. I am sorry Lars but this is the fact. Joey Jordison - Creeping Death and Lombardo - Battery performances took the songs to another level. Amazing.
It was fascinating to watch the communication between Rob and Dave and also Dave looking at James for the cue to go into the solo part. Near the end, it sounded like James was having trouble keeping up with Dave. Such a great performance overall.
it was kirk hehe :D, he is in right ear, in left is james and theres everything alright ofc, lol now i realized that james looks like hes not picking that palmuted 0 between powerchords
@@danielvician6339 he doesn't. He still does it but I think he made a smart choice here and skip it. Kirk was trying to play that notes in between but the speed was brutal. Specially if you haven't played like that in a while
I once saw James drum for Metallica back in September 1989. Am I Evil? was the song. Lars was singing, Kirk was playing bass, and Jason was guitarist. This was at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater.
As a drummer myself,Dave Lombardo is the best double bass kick pedal genius and his technical work with Tom toms and cymbals is a absolutely joy to watch an absolute icon with any metal band👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The intensness that Dave Lombardo adds with the double kicks and fills are unmatched why would they want to spare Lars's feelings over kicking so much ass
Credit to Lars for writing the music and getting the band going and all that but this is another level in terms of live performance, which is nothing to be ashamed of.
Yep. No Metallica without Lars, but they would sound amazing live with a more powerful and consistent drummer. It's just a fact. Lars is legendary, but he's never been the tightest.
@@Ibanez527 Of course this wasn't tight. I don't know if they even rehearsed and Dave was playing too fast for the rest of the band. Who said this was tight? Read my comment, dude.
