DziobekPl sorry dave is the real deal. lars is to concerned with what makes himself happy. dave played his parts better than he did on the original recordings
ray russell I know that Dave is great drummer and he has skills which Lars doesn't have but saying that you had not heard the double bass in Metallica is not truth. Lars is not the best drummer but he can play double bass and in 80 s and early 90 s he was actually pretty good. Sorry for my english ;]
Kudos to Lombardo for being familiar with the material, and being classy about filling in. No showboating or anything, but doing a favor for another band. And whether it sounded 'better' is irrelevant. Lars had an unmistakable sound that clicked with the band, and made their unique sound. Dave did an exceptional job of coming in and keeping the songs clean and familiar. Kudos all around
Dave Lombardo plays this so much better than Lars! Every fill is perfect, and the lead fill into the last solo is flawless! Dave Lombardo would UP Metallica's game if he were to join!
+ajwasp and they haven't even rehearsed with him. Lars' genius for being an absolute cnut made them filthy rich, though. They have him to thank for that even if he sucks balls as a drummer.
This must have been a real treat for Trujillo. Playing with a guy who can actually play. Robert is so talented and he has to carry the rhythm with a guy that can't even keep time. They should get a new drummer and Lars can manage.
colin poitras trust me. As a Bass player, it's really off-putting when the drummer can't keep it together. I've played with drummers that would make Lars look like Mike Portnoy.
WonderDrugEchinacea No doubt man. I'm sure it's not easy to carry those notes in the tone of voice he did it in for so many years, plus all the drinking and smoking, it gets hard on your throat and vocal cords real fast.
EvilSSP You are right...How about Corey taylor?I can not find evidence whether he smokes or not?If you have some info;please share with me brother;thank you...
In a bit of revisionist history, metallica would’ve been godlike with lombardo or menza on drums (not like they aren’t already, but more so with those two)
In all fairness to Lars, he's a human being and he fits with what Metallica does musically. Dave Lombardo isn't human lol. He's on God level. Best ever with Gene Hoglan right there with him. IMO
I love this but remember, it's not the individual talent that makes bands click. It's the sum of an unexplainable energy. Look at the Beatles, Paul is arguably the most talented musician ever but if he played all the instruments on every song it wouldn't be the same. Sure Ringo isn't technically amazing but he's part of the formula that worked, a very big part of the sound.
I love how the people that bash Lars, probably haven't heard him in his prime between the 80s and 2000. He's not as fast as Lombardo, but he was the shit back in those days and you could hear his double bass pedals working overtime. I'll agree, Lars has gotten lazy with his drumming over the last few years, but really? Do people have to curse him out and shit? What have you morons done lately except troll around from video to video looking for attention?
The problem is that people actually have heard him "in his prime". He sounds exactly the same. He has the same shitty technique. The only difference is that he's gotten lazier over the years when playing live.
Fond3ll - Fakebit, Chiptunes and Bitpop Music! Next time write IMAO next to your comment because not everyone will agree with you on the comment you made..
Kyle Batteson I have seen Metallica live on their first European tour. Lars already was a crap drummer then. I have seen footage of Lars in the studio. There is not a single "one take" song on any album. He just cannot drum.
when u really think about this lineup playing this song, it covers quite a few bands that created thrash metal, James Hetfield & Metallica, Kirk Hammett & Exodus, Dave Lombardo & Slayer, Rob Trujillo & Suicidal Tendencies and a song from the Metallica album Kill Em All, which had Dave Mustaine/Megadeth \m/
Dave's playing the same arrangement as Lars. He added the necessary dbass fills and added less random fills, but on the whole it sounds like the same thing Lars plays.
When the hell did he have time to practice. I guessing he is not just playing metallica songs all the time. Amazing how talented and capable these guys are....long live heavy metal!
Lars actually is fuckin crap...never was a great drummer but did improve his technique doin a great album with the "justice" in studio...then live shows got worst and worst and his technique nowadays is shit. At the beginning Lars was the firestarter but i hate the persona and his work since the early nineties
Tbh it doesn't matter, Lars has his dream come true... International superstar, millionaire.. hall of fame.. everything. You? - nothing of the sort... It's doesn't matter how much crappy people speak about Lars ( he isn't amazing) because none of us are anything close to him, and will never be as successful
So the great Lombardo has taken the place of the Terrible Ulrich and guess what, it sounds EXACTLY THE SAME! I bet if you could just hear the sound and had no idea it was Lombardo instead of Ulrich, the haters would still be like "Fuck, the drums sounds like shit! Fucking crappy Ulrich cant play!"
Nope, maybe those that dont play but I can hear a huge difference. That said I've been playing almost 25 years. No that doesnt mean Im awesome, Im actually fairly average, I DO have an ear for it though.
Yup, it's Lars' drum arrangement. Dave doesn't add the random fills like Lars does, which is a good thing, but Dave sticks to the arrangement because it suits the song. Dave isn't a show-boater like other drummers and knows when he needs to unleash the monster fills and when to keep it simple. I feel guilty, but I'd love Dave to play drums for Metallica for a while. Especially on the more difficult songs.
Dave is the best drummer they ever had lol. Love Lars but he isn't a great drummer but he does fit the part. On the other hand Dave is an icon and a badass drummer and would run circles around Lars. Btw somebody's guitar is out of tune.
Out of tune? THAT'S how the REAL Metallica sounded back in the day. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but, it's the way they sounded. Sort of like a dragster engine running on the edge of breaking. BAD ASS.
Lars was a phenomenal drummer back in the 80's and there's countless performances on you tube to support that. Also, no other drummer would have been able to do Metallica's music justice back then, but in the 2000's his standard has definitely dropped. At one point, James even said to Lars face to face that he doesn't enjoy jamming with him anymore.
the heart of metallica always was, is and will be hetfield! all the riffs, the melodies and the vocals, what else?? burton was a great contribuition in the best composition moments of metallica.
To chime in, we all know Dave's a better drummer than Lars .. I'm sure Lars and the rest of Metallica know it as well. If the spot for Metallica's drummer becomes available, I think Dave Lombardo would be first on the list. As other have noted, he brings a lot to their music.
punishmentforall but he'd have to be able to adapt and play the slow stuff with the right feel as well as the fast stuff. So it's not enough to be able to play Battery, if he plays nothing else matters with Angel of Death style fills and double kick. That would destroy the song.
+Oli T nah my bad that was a stupid comment I got more into megadeth but both of songs are good I love the killing is my buissness album and dave did write the song but both of them are equally great
Lars was awesome back in the 80's and even during the early 90's but than he just stopped trying. I mean, people pay money to see him play. At least put some effort into your work. Oh well, Lombardo is much better than Lars and always has been.
Lars plays with the heart, he plays what he feel, that's why he change the nuance of the song; sometimes he fucked up, other times he comes out with something good. Dave is awesome because his speed and technique, nowadays there's a few people that still admires a drummer because of soulful playing. That's why many people say that Lars is crap when he's NOT.
How great it is to go to a metallica concert and find out that dave lombardo is playing instead of lars. it's like finding out dave mustaine is replacing kirk.
Sir I'm sorry the Toyota Prius you wanted is being repaired. But don't worry, we brought you this Ferrari F40 instead, hope it's okay with you.
0:28 IT'S ALRIGHT, HE'S THE WORST ONE ANYWAY!
Couldn't stop laughing.
hahaha couldn't believe someone said that even though its soooo true :P
He's more talented than hetfield.....
Damien Oldham
haha are you serious?
wow please tell me you are talking about dave because Lars more talented than Het?? Yeah right
I can't breathe!
Lombardo. Hetfield. Mustaine. Burton.
now thats the 4 horsemen!!
Hey they finally played this song with Dave!!!! Wait... Wrong Dave.....
Exactly what i thought...
Actually it’s the right Dave.
Just imagine a band of Daves. Dave Lombardo, Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, and uh... Dave Murray. Maybe David Draiman on vocals
@@Thurgor_SupremeDavid Lee Roth on vocals
Wow dave injects so much energy into the whole bands performance, its amazing.
If you think about it, these 4 guys have collectively been in Metallica, Exodus, Slayer, and Suicidal Tendencies.
That's tight!
don't forget Infectious Grooves
Testament too
Mr. Bungle
Playing a song written by Dave Mustaine 🤯
Exactly!!
I had not heard the double bass pedal in metallica until
Now!!
So you're deaf I think ;)
With lars all you here is the snare! Daves the whole package!
DziobekPl
sorry dave is the real deal. lars is to concerned with what makes himself happy. dave played his parts better than he did on the original recordings

Lars is not the best drummer but he can play double bass and in 80 s and early 90 s he was actually pretty good. Sorry for my english ;]
DziobekPl I agree
Even though Lars is a sloppy drummer, he was the reason Metallica is here today. So without him, none of this would even exist.
I agree. Its still o.k. to rip on him.
Chill dude he’s not gonna fu(k you
B.S.
Kudos to Lombardo for being familiar with the material, and being classy about filling in. No showboating or anything, but doing a favor for another band. And whether it sounded 'better' is irrelevant. Lars had an unmistakable sound that clicked with the band, and made their unique sound. Dave did an exceptional job of coming in and keeping the songs clean and familiar. Kudos all around
I love how they're all drawn to Dave, it's like they can't get enough of him.
Dave Lombardo plays this so much better than Lars! Every fill is perfect, and the lead fill into the last solo is flawless! Dave Lombardo would UP Metallica's game if he were to join!
+ajwasp and they haven't even rehearsed with him. Lars' genius for being an absolute cnut made them filthy rich, though. They have him to thank for that even if he sucks balls as a drummer.
+Doomanoid1979 agreed! :-)
Lombardo would up anyone’s game
This song has never been played this good on drums. Seriously...
And this drumkit has never been played so well.
praseodym12 you obviously haven't heard any live performances of this song from before 1995.
I like how Robert naturally keeps going over to Dave, like, "Do you need my help counting?", and Dave's like, "What!?"
No. It's more to cue him on certain parts where he has to stop playing and then start again.
At 0:28 (fan yells): "It's alright! He (Lars) is the worst one anyway!"
LOL :)
James: "There are 4 people on stage here" turns around... ah shit.
"It's ok! One of us went to the hospital! If he dies we'll get a real drummer and everything will be fine!"
Good one ☺ But indeed, when you hear that power behind the drums, and how that adds new dimension to Metallica, pitty they didn't have a Dave ☺.
This must have been a real treat for Trujillo. Playing with a guy who can actually play. Robert is so talented and he has to carry the rhythm with a guy that can't even keep time. They should get a new drummer and Lars can manage.
search on yt dave lombardo says what he really think about Lars Ulrich
colin poitras trust me. As a Bass player, it's really off-putting when the drummer can't keep it together. I've played with drummers that would make Lars look like Mike Portnoy.
@@russkate88 Shit, they must be very very bad...
Hey James you know why you feel better than ever? Because you sound better than ever because you finally have a real drummer behind that kit.
I was thinking just that! LOL
WonderDrugEchinacea
No doubt man. I'm sure it's not easy to carry those notes in the tone of voice he did it in for so many years, plus all the drinking and smoking, it gets hard on your throat and vocal cords real fast.
+EvilSSP does he smoke?
fuat ozsezer
Oh I'm sure he did at some point, and more than just cigs lol.
EvilSSP You are right...How about Corey taylor?I can not find evidence whether he smokes or not?If you have some info;please share with me brother;thank you...
Imagine the 80s metallica albums with a drummer like Lombardo or Nick Menza on them, drool.
you wouldnt even have Metallica without the little guy, so we cant imagine
In a bit of revisionist history, metallica would’ve been godlike with lombardo or menza on drums (not like they aren’t already, but more so with those two)
Lombardo is why Slayer was at the top.
hahahaha, 1st time that song got played right since the '80s ended!
In all fairness to Lars, he's a human being and he fits with what Metallica does musically. Dave Lombardo isn't human lol. He's on God level. Best ever with Gene Hoglan right there with him. IMO
Come on James, introduce him - "Slayer's Dave Lombardo is joining us". It's Low Level respect for a great musician.
Id like to introduce him as Metallicas Dave lombardo
Lars was suffering from lack of talent disorder.
+unfukmeessexslave Hot supermodels? Lol...No wonder he can't play. All of his energy went out his dick.
+unfukmeessexslave Supermodels he had to pay for maybe. He's a shitty person and a shitty drummer.
wouldn't take much!
LTD is almost as bad as LSD
I love how it feels like the original, but has a lot of Dave's flavor. Dave, you rock!
Ahhh,so that's how Metallica sounds with a drummer..
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love this but remember, it's not the individual talent that makes bands click. It's the sum of an unexplainable energy. Look at the Beatles, Paul is arguably the most talented musician ever but if he played all the instruments on every song it wouldn't be the same. Sure Ringo isn't technically amazing but he's part of the formula that worked, a very big part of the sound.
Did you REALLY just say that Paul was the most talented Beatle?? Or ever?? Really??
Berzerker37 I did and I stand by it. ;)
Your opinion I guess...
Pitchfever Academy: What you said is totally spot-on. It's a shame that most people fail to understand this simple truth.
I agree and that is why Metallica's music declined so much after Cliff died.
one of my favorite songs
Wow instant upgrade without Lars.
I love how the people that bash Lars, probably haven't heard him in his prime between the 80s and 2000. He's not as fast as Lombardo, but he was the shit back in those days and you could hear his double bass pedals working overtime.

Fond3ll - Fakebit, Chiptunes and Bitpop Music! Next time write IMAO next to your comment because not everyone will agree with you on the comment you made..
Kyle Batteson Yes, because someone not agreeing with you is the worst thing that could ever happen. Especially on the internet... -_-
Fond3ll - Fakebit, Chiptunes and Bitpop Music! I don't actually care what you agree with, just don't speak for everyone else. It's silly.

Panic too .. Mustaine wrote this song when he was in a band called Panic
cliff?
Man ... love love LOVE this version with Dave drumming.
Freakin awesome, everybody is enjoying it, the crowd, the band, the fills and tempo was a killer. Pls make a tour with dave.
Look at Hammett and Trajilo line up and pay homage throughout.
+verve92 Trujillo LOL
LOL My bad.
Im sure Lars had to stay at the hospital a little longer after having his ass handed to him by Dave Lombardo.
haha nice
Spot on
wow sounds awesome!!!!!
Dave raping lar's drums!
LMFAO... Slaaaaaaaayer shot in Metallicas arm.. it's all good.
Dave's playing the same arrangement as Lars. He added the necessary dbass fills and added less random fills, but on the whole it sounds like the same thing Lars plays.
How's about Dave with with the other Daves in Megadeth doing The Mechanix? That would KILL!
Three Dave's would be too much hahahaha
Thrasher209 You can never have too many Dave's in MegaDave! ;)
DaveC ...and Megadeth has played on David Letterman ...with Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson \m/ ... and thanks for saying Megadave DaveC , lol
DaveC who could be the forth Dave, seriously? Give me some names!
Dave Grohl, lol .. David Vincent of Morbid Angel \m/
I agree, it sounds awesomes and precise:D
HELL YEAH
Must be weird for James and Kirk to have to play in time
James Rockford just like the old days.
When the hell did he have time to practice. I guessing he is not just playing metallica songs all the time. Amazing how talented and capable these guys are....long live heavy metal!
Mihai Dobrota they would have had a quick run through backstage.
this is extra special, take ur time lars lol have a good day
Combination of the two best bands EVER!!!
Lot of Lars hate here as usual, Lombardo does kick ass though!!
cause lars fucking sucks.. as usual ... DUH
with dave it instantly sounds better. lars is over rated. let the hate posts begin.
Lars actually is fuckin crap...never was a great drummer but did improve his technique doin a great album with the "justice" in studio...then live shows got worst and worst and his technique nowadays is shit. At the beginning Lars was the firestarter but i hate the persona and his work since the early nineties
absolutly right
Yea I agree!
Tbh it doesn't matter, Lars has his dream come true... International superstar, millionaire.. hall of fame.. everything.
You? - nothing of the sort... It's doesn't matter how much crappy people speak about Lars ( he isn't amazing) because none of us are anything close to him, and will never be as successful
To say he isn't good is one thing, to say he's overrated is just plain stupid.
SLAYER!!
i was there download festival 2004 it was superb
Apparently Kirk said to Dave and James that "that's how it's supposed to sound"
Poor Lars lol
leigh stirland I'd be curious to know what exactly transpired backstage after the show.
Metallica wanted to play with someone who can keep a beat
hahaha, I like Lars .. but I LOL.
metallica is back!!! SLAYER!!!!
You're epic man !
Lars had a moment sometime in 1984 where IF he actually cared and practiced his instrument hed be as good as Dave Lombardo.
Gore Elohim he was at the same level as lombardo back in the eighties. Just check out the live video's.
0:28 IT'S OKAY HE'S THE WORST ONE ANYWAY! LARS IS A WANKER! LARS IS A WANKER! XD
Alright not okay*
Aamazing! Dave played so good and almost no rehersal time!!
SLAYER!!!!!
imagine lombardo in metallica fuckin nice
PD: lars is good anywaay
Metallica with a drummer with actual talent!! NICE! :P
SLAYER
Trujillo, Hetfield, and Hammett were having a very difficult time. They weren't used to playing in time.
Notice how it sounds 1000x better with a real drummer? lol
For once I want James to stop singing so I can here the drums better. Never thought I'd say that.
Perfect drumming!
played that song like a boss!
LMFAO @0:28.
Dave Lombardo is way better than Ulrich.
digging the therapy sessions before each song.
that song drips with epic, from the lyrics to the instruments
So the great Lombardo has taken the place of the Terrible Ulrich and guess what, it sounds EXACTLY THE SAME! I bet if you could just hear the sound and had no idea it was Lombardo instead of Ulrich, the haters would still be like "Fuck, the drums sounds like shit! Fucking crappy Ulrich cant play!"
I was thinking the same thing
Nope, maybe those that dont play but I can hear a huge difference. That said I've been playing almost 25 years. No that doesnt mean Im awesome, Im actually fairly average, I DO have an ear for it though.
To add to that, Lars has an almost lazy sound ( live anyway), He's always off by a 16th or so. Dave on the other hand is a fucking metronome.
if you think it sounds the same sorry bros dont ever play music because you dont have the ear for it
Yup, it's Lars' drum arrangement. Dave doesn't add the random fills like Lars does, which is a good thing, but Dave sticks to the arrangement because it suits the song. Dave isn't a show-boater like other drummers and knows when he needs to unleash the monster fills and when to keep it simple. I feel guilty, but I'd love Dave to play drums for Metallica for a while.

Out of tune? THAT'S how the REAL Metallica sounded back in the day. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but, it's the way they sounded. Sort of like a dragster engine running on the edge of breaking. BAD ASS.
Lars was a phenomenal drummer back in the 80's and there's countless performances on you tube to support that.

Wow!
Dave Lombardo is a beast on the kit!!!
i miss Cliff Burton.
HAHAHAHAHAHA "It's ok, Lars is the worst one anyway!"
what a kickass song! Dave doin fine
damn straight!
Replace Lars with Lombardo and Kirk with Marty Friedman.
Replace Metallica with SLAYER.
Breno Baptista
Lombardo, Marty & Jason \m/
Breno Baptista Replace Robert with Jason? Wtf? Robert is WAY better player than Jason.
"It's alright, he's the worst one anyway!" Haha, classic. They sounded better too!!!
he follows it up with chanting "Lars is a wanker, Lars is a wanker!!""
the heart of metallica always was, is and will be hetfield! all the riffs, the melodies and the vocals, what else?? burton was a great contribuition in the best composition moments of metallica.
Hernan Gonzalez Lars Co wrote most of the songs with James. Check your history if you don't believe me.
oh you
They basically played Mechanix. Lol
0:28 "It's alright, he's the worst one anyway!"
0:33 "Lars is a waaanker, lars is a waannkeer"
Totally laughed my ass off...
Because it's true :P
I have yet to find a full version of this song live, and in great quality.
This is epic
To chime in, we all know Dave's a better drummer than Lars .. I'm sure Lars and the rest of Metallica know it as well. If the spot for Metallica's drummer becomes available, I think Dave Lombardo would be first on the list. As other have noted, he brings a lot to their music.

god i love that drum intro
I would have liked to hear Frayed ends of Sanity with Lombardo with that double bass.
Still sounds way too slow... gonna go listen to Mechanix.
+Oli T why would you want to listen to a shitty version of The Four Horsemen?
***** coz its rawer, faster, has more energy and is mustaine
Seank C1tikal5000 to each their own I suppose
+IwieIch123 fuck you

Out of touch in the eighties they were pretty much on par with each other.
yea HE IS!!
Yeah that was BadAss!
Am I the only one bugged by metallica playing this song considering it's dave's?*cough* megadeth better* cough cough*
The studio version of the mechanix sounds like 4 junkies butchering this.
@@limjahey4351 mechanix was written first by dave mustaine
No ride cymbal? Lars kit sucks!!!
Manoel Ferraz Dave should have used his own kit.
Dave Lombardo actually played this song off the bat. he's that AWESOME!
yup i heard it too
that was priceless
I bet this moment in time keeps Lars awake at night.
Lars plays with the heart, he plays what he feel, that's why he change the nuance of the song; sometimes he fucked up, other times he comes out with something good.
Dave is awesome because his speed and technique, nowadays there's a few people that still admires a drummer because of soulful playing.
That's why many people say that Lars is crap when he's NOT.
Yeah I play with a lot of soul too and people tell me I'm absolute dog shit
How great it is to go to a metallica concert and find out that dave lombardo is playing instead of lars. it's like finding out dave mustaine is replacing kirk.
