Lars Ulrich

Ringo Starr was a bit worse

Nah, even for "bad" you have to stand out. Lars is just in the middle. Kirk, though, might be the worst guitarist

I bet I am a worse drummer.

kirk is genuinely fucking bad at guitar
relative to his level of success playing the instrument, he is easily the worst guitarist i can think of

>people actually think lars was bad back in the early years

youtube.com/watch?v=PzvuDeDmCqA

is this bait? i don't know a toooon of Queen but i've always thought he was pretty good. Maybe kind of boring but good.

Lars obviously isn't the worst either but there are plenty of times in songs where i'm like "really, man? that's what you decided to do?"

that's interesting. can you show an example? i believe you, i just want to see this in action

Rod Taylor is a competent drummer and gifted songwriter/singer so yes it must be bait

youtube.com/watch?v=yPg3B3xF-r0
there are hundreds
even card-carrying metallica superfans will grant that kirk is just fucking terrible

wait, why is he the lead guitarist if James Hetfield is better at guitar? you're right, he sucks

This must be very impressive to a non musician. Fast ≠ good.

james is not better at guitar
honestly cliff and jason were the only two people that band ever had who were talented
it's really amazing
on balance, i like metallica. they made a lot of good songs. it is the strongest example of the sum being greater than its parts, because they're all basically shit

isn't that kid in OPs pic the one that decided it would be good for HIS band to shoot his mouth off about napster? how did it work out?

it reminds me of that shit that the punk rock drummer would do
"drum covers"
he was a fairly famous guy but they were actually kind of good. this is not at all

>james is not better at guitar
he's better at playing rhythm figures apparently. that makes him better than someone completely checked out of their instrument in my book.
>cliff and jason were the only two people that band ever had who were talented
fair enough
>i like metallica.
well, there's your problem

she is playing the completely out of time sloppy drums perfectly

He's not technically great but he's unironically a really soulful drummer in a non meme sense.

The SKOM documentary really opened my eyes when I was younger. I was a huge Metallica fan, watched the documentary and jesus christ they just all act like a bunch of fucking whiny babies. It was like watching a documentary on celeb gossip and infighting than a Metallica documentary.

I always wanted to be a drummer but didn't have the constitution for it or the space to practice. Ended up sucking dick on guitar for years instead. Watching drum covers on youtube is a guilty pleasure of mine though.

I have to completely agree with this, I know Newstead is talented as fuck but I can't even listen to Metallica after Puppets.

>song called Rosetta Stoned
>means absolutely nothing except for "Rosetta Stone, stoned"

whew

if he's so bad, why did dream theater consider him?

i am a solid 7/10 on several instruments. 8/10 on a couple
i can't handle drums. i just can't figure it out, and i've tried. and i can play bass guitar really nice and that's on the same wavelength
i think the secret to playing drums is having your first instrument be the piano
a good drummer blows my mind. and it doesn't even have to be neil peart autism shit. that guy doing lateralus is enough for me

>i can't handle drums. i just can't figure it out, and i've tried.
your brain must be dead. it's just pounding in different places with a stick. it's what cavemen did. you should get your brain checked out because you seem literally retarded.

You realize all the drum tracks on this album were chopped up best takes, right? They did it the old school way back then actually splicing tape, but they did it. Why do you think Metallica didn't play Dyer's Eve live for fucking years, and when they finally did they had to gimp the drum part?

>listening to music for the lyrics
>whew
Yoinkers.

>not knowing that James Hetfield came back after the session to re-record the drum tracks

Metallica was just the right band with the right look at the right time. They built up their fanbase with work ethic. Fans remember that.

>lyrics = title
whew, Yonkers, New York.

Or how they've never played blackened exactly like the album because the rhythm leading out of the solo and back into the verse is some compound bars they probably stitched together in editing

They did act like a bunch of faggots but honestly if you like the music you can separate the art from the artist. I mean I still love Chuck Berry's music despite knowing some of the shit he did, when it's good it's good.

>work ethic
aka stealing Testament's riffs and Lars knowing how to suck industry dick. why do you think he's the drummer? he has no skills

>Caring about the title at all

>i think the secret to playing drums is having your first instrument be the piano
Nah, I don't know about that. None of the good drummers I've known have been good on piano, but they all have been a little bit fucked in the head. I think that's the secret. Drummers are weird people.

She definitely isn't the best at keeping time, but she actually plays the real track, which Lars never did live, and Lars isn't exactly a human metronome either.

i played in several bands and all the drummers were sickos
but drums is the only instrument where there is zero argument as to who is the best ever
neil peart
and i guarantee he is autistic

They had to slow down their music so Kirk could keep up

literally the whole secret to drumming is practicing with a metronome. learn how to "feel" the beat and let that guide you.

Well, them and mustaine. While he never played and album, their best riffs are his inventions

youtube.com/watch?v=lPkz_ippXfw

Neil Peart is a hack. Dave Wekl is the best ever.

publicity.
same reason Metallica let Les Claypool audition. he was never getting that gig. thankfully.

Mustaine is why they are where they are. He wrote the heavy riffs that got them on the map. If they never used his songs, and mustaine recorded all kill em all and ride the lighting songs with Megadeth, he'd be the one with hundreds of millions in the bank.

i figured i could feel it coming from bass guitar. i am not vic wooten but i can play it percussively and i'm doing the same thing our drummer is doing. i just can't even get the basics
peart is obviously not a hack. he does more with more. weckl does less with less. i fucking hate jazz music

great at keeping time though im not a fan of the band. so many drummers play way too fast live and fuck up the rest of the band. dude plays like a machine and that can be a huge compliment.

Jazz is literally a group of dudes who are all in a pissing contest put to music, i couldn't agree more

I hate Lars but I think I hate Dream Theater as a band even more. I don't understand how they managed to be this talented and be this bland.

>Drummers at exactly the right gig

this is my favourite video on drumming. but what this guy says works for every musician regardless of instrument

youtube.com/watch?v=9oQsKRyihEA

>They did act like a bunch of faggots but honestly if you like the music you can separate the art from the artist
Don't get me wrong, I know what you mean. I should've elaborated in my post that I still like them and I still think they made some great music despite acting like whiny babies in the doc, but it just floored me when I first saw it.

you literally don't understand an entire genre of music. before anyone can take you seriously about any of your opinions, you should be upfront about having music-AIDS

>so, the absolute bare minimum of being a musician
Yeah, but you'd be amazed how many fail at it, especially in that era.

Now you're just being silly. They made their money with Black and that tour. Then, by luck, they disappeared while grunge killed all the 80s bands and came back much lighter and fit right in when post-grunge was the fad.

I'm not arguing Dave isn't a better musician. I'm not talking skill, I'm talking marketability.

Sad but true

You have no idea what you're talking about with drums. Peart doesn't use any rudiments all his rolls are just shit any drummer can do when they first learn how to play. Wekl's rolls are all based on rudiments and one handed rolls with the snare that Peart couldn't do if you held a gun to his head. Peart is a hack. I could play the whole Moving Pictures album after playing drums for 6 months. Wekl does shit I can't figure out after playing for 20 years

you're so fucking stupid it's painful

Wekl is not a "jazz" drummer. His band's play many different genres

They're so awful that the whole movie felt like a mockumentary. When James starts making up awful lyrics to one of their shitty riffs I had to pause it and take a walk.

Hellhammer is like a million times better than this. He just has a shit drum sound.

>Has a killer vocal range
>Good looking
>Plays like a god
>Plays every instrument in a couple of songs
>Wrote many of Queen's best songs
>Had his own solo album before Freddie did Mr bad guy.
Pathetic bait

FORTUNE FAME MIRROR VAIN GONE INSQNE BYT THE MEMMORRYY. RHHEE-MEEHHAIIIINNSS

Yeah, Bleed is one of those tracks that would've won a gold medal for Olympic drumming if that was a thing. They wrote it on a computer and then it took him months to learn how to play it. I can understand how it's not to everyone's taste though, but for me, academically at least, it's like an opiate.

Look he’s the worst member and he should never ever sing but he’s not terrible.

I'M SHUTTING THIS MOTHERFUCKING THREAD RIGHT NOW

This is the worst drummer ever. Along with Clayton they're the most boring and embarrassing rhythm section that ever lived. They literally play four to the floor on every single motherfucking song, except without any swing, groove or soul.

his solo on orion was the first and last bass solo that fit the song and sounded good

People shit on Ringo because they don't know any better.
People shit on Lars Ulrich because he's boring as shit and thinks he's god's gift. Also fuck Danish people.

Burton was the most talented member of Metallica, that much is true.

Yeah, funny how the quality in albums drops after there are no songs on them in that he's credited for.

Ringo plays to serve the song, he's more versatile and swinging than some drunk idiot like Bonham or Moon

He used slight distortion (kinda like Lemmy) and his playing was actually kinda sloppy because of his finger technique (as opposed to Jason who used pick and thus had a more steady sound) but Cliff knew not to follow the guitars exactly and instead do accents or other figures to fill up the music

youtu.be/SwG3P5j1KaQ?t=70

He at the very least got them off the ground. The drama shit between them for years was retarded, though, and led to the demise of both bands in the 90s.

Don't you dare talk shit about Bonzo I'll fite u!
youtube.com/watch?v=sBSUBH25PkI

different user, but while Bonham is indeed a pretty drummer can you imagine him coming up with a drum beat like that of "come together" to make sure the song sounds unique?

Ringo is a dyslexic drummer. It's quite impressive how he can actually play like this. Most people couldn't do it.

Jurgen always impressed me because as a thrash metal drummer his playing is always both fast and clean as fuck. Not just beating the fuck out everything while maintaing a groove or pattern.

Kind of a weird question. Ringo and Bonzo are both great and I'm sure that Bonzo could've done the song justice. The bass on that track is phenomenal and it's the first thing I think of, not the drums.

I was gonna make a post saying he's overrated, but these are actually pretty clever basslines. I don't think his actual playing was that impressive though. Most people jizz over his playing mediocre guitar solos on a bass.
