- NOTE: I did not make any of these clips, I just got them from Guitar Hero Metallica Extras. All of the credit goes to the directors who recorded this in the Guitar Hero Studio and UMPG Publishing.
Ever wonder how they make games and animate people into them? Here you go.
1.) The Shortest Straw (Lars Ulrich)
2.) Master of Puppets (James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, with Rob and Lars in background.)
3.) Seek and Destroy (Robert Trujillo). - Hry
The day Guitar Hero made Lars actually practice.
lol
which song at 4:56
abhishek kumar master of puppets
+Luke Petersen. thanks bro
The day that Lars actually practice
“Let me just learn it” Lars you wrote it 😂
Bruh
So? They also wrote many songs after that one and that's why they forget some of them. It's not weird at all. Many artists with big careers usually listen their own records to practice before the shows.
And also they hadn’t played the shortest straw in like 10 years 😂
Dude I forget the shitty little riffs I come up with after a week. And these guys have released hundreds of songs. It's natural to forget them when you don't play them for some years
He only had an issue with the timing...once he got it back he was flawless.
It must feel weird to play those fake guitars with no strings
magg93 I don't think people really appreciate your comment
Look at robert he's having such fun!
Good thing they aren’t pop artists
@Shallex They probably needed to track the guitar as well in 3D space.
@Shallex My guess is that they needed to put the tracking tape on the fretboard and the strings might get in the way. You have to remember that with mocap, normal everyday things don't translate well in 3D without using trackers.
Imagine just walking into a random warehouse and you see James Hetfield dressed like a astronaut playing a fake guitar
“Dude those were some gnarly mushrooms i had earlier” 😂
@@roadtostrongestmanever2099 🤣
Its a real guitar, just with the strings removed
@@itscorvid358 thanks for ruining the joke
@@Stormblade02 If a tiny bit of information ruins your joke, maybe it's your joke that was the problem, not me
Imagine how weird it would be to lip sync to yourself from over 20 years ago.
lmao!
+RDog4484 not as weird as it would be to lip sync to yourself from over 20 years ago
What?
Especially since he has to tune down a full step to sing this now. I think the other guy meant 30 years.
200th like
"The day that Guitar hero broke Lars"
starts crying
Your name is the name of the main character of goosebumps in the episode the perfect school
@Zimbokasa "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the band things I've done in my life."
he was already broken when they got him
He's not used to practising
I love how James frets the chords correctly even without strings lol. And yes Lars, this went straight to CZcams
it's called muscle memory. he'd been playing those songs for over 20 years by that point, he could probably see the tabs in his sleep.
@@AndyKusanagi86 well yeah I know that lol. I just find it a little amusing is all
It's called professionalism. He had motion capture stuff on his hands for a reason.
@@Cthulhu4President there's that too.
Its actually not hard
To be fair to Lars, it's so freaking hard to just start up a song without a proper count in
Especially when it's fucking The Shortest Straw
@@misterscorbunny5524 When I sat down and tried to learn the song, it took me like 10 minutes to get the intro down, when I eventually used my brain I put the click on, I nailed it, I fully understand Lars’s struggle when he was playing.
Yeah, it wouldn't have been much effort to put a count in click track on there.
@@didncozosksma4466 Exactly, I feel like a lot of people who shit on larrs aren't drummers. Yeah sure he isn't the most technical or tight drummer but he has power and serves the songs.
@@KarlstadDrums I know a lot of people who play drums and shit on Lars. He is trash and he doesn't take drumming seriously at all. He's an embarrassment to the profession.
1:04: "I'm a really fast learner, trust me!!"
-Lars Ulrich
he did learn it fast though
+Hanif Zahirulfikri but it was his own song he had to learn!
+Seph PK ahaha yh xD
+Seph PK But he probably hasnt played this song in a while, and it also has fucked up timing.
Exactly

Even with fake instruments they still give 200%. One of the best bands ever in music.
💯
THE* best band ever.
@@revivedSpArTaN not even close
@@AffixedEvilGoddam grow up.We are not living in 1983.
@@justempty7036 what does 1983 have to do with it? I don't try to say that Metallica isn't a great band. It was pretty innovative, but there is nothing that makes it the best bend ever.
Imagine James actually singing in his 23 year old voice again!
It would fuck with his vocals now
Wouldn’t be wise considering that’s exactly what damaged his vocals in the past. His singing now is leaps and bounds healthier and sustainable.
I don't see why people give Lars shit for forgetting the intro, before this they hadn't played The Shortest Straw for like 10 years
not to mention he's not even playing on a real drum set
Alex K Well, he is. It's just muted and with dummy cymbals. The mutes might feel a little different but it shouldn't really affect performance.
Mutes hardly have any rebound, I have some and they feel pretty crap, especially on the snare. I have good brand ones and they still pretty suck
Cr4nium13 because all his drum beats are the same haha
Maybe because he is supposed to be a pro? Like THE drummer in the most famous metal band? Come prepared to an event that is being filmed?
that spinning robert does is the weirdest thing in the world
Seriously. I don’t know anyone else who does that.
I honestly prefer to watch Cliff almost beating his bass, or Jason running around and doing backing vocals like the chtulu lord of darkness he was
Your mom is weird too
I saw him live just recently doing that spin and it was awesome
Hes trying so hard to be relevant
i would imagine that all the screams and cheers by the crew is not only them having the time of their lives seeing a free metallica concert but to also help the band get into the mind space and feeling that they're really playing for thousands of people and the cheers hype them up
It would be super cool to see them play the finished game on toy versions of their respective instruments
I bet James had a hell of a time pretending to sing as he used to sing, great video.
its so sweet how they get so into it playing the solos exactly the same without strings xD
Well, if they did not try to do that we would have had something like Jimmy Hendrix on GH: World Tour haha
Silkaz7 Look at his face, he's like "YEAH, HET IS BACK"
LOL
I don’t think they even have strings on their guitars, must feel weird guessing where the strings would be
Imagine having a video game just for your band and just hearing your epic songs years later and "playing over them" haha that must be a great feeling
@memlord 2 cm is not large
@memlord sounds like we are talking about different things
@memlord you have 2.1 cm, yeah thats pretty big
It's awesome to see james actually hit the chords and do the finger movements with hands with no strings.
I can't believe they brought cliff burton back to life for this game. That is some great dedication by the game directors.
💀fr. Really shows how much they care about the game
Where you seein that 🤨
Did they? I used to play it a lot and don't remember Cliff being in it. Was it like some unlockable thing?
@@mattdad8429he wasn’t im pretty sure part of that was his parents not wanting it in the game
@@crtdigitall Makes sense. They shoulda had Cliff and Jason be unlockable characters though! That would be amazing. Sequel time!

BEST COMMENT OF THE YEAR LMAOOO
+Nicolás Riveros Most underrated comment on youtube.
DUDE I'M IN TEARS 😂😂😂
+Nicolás Riveros hahahaha
+Nicolás Riveros HAHAHAHA, I'm dying
it's funny how he's still playing the chords on is guitar as if it worked
Well they're motion capturing their hands, so yes they need to be as real as possible, I think they should have put strings on it haha I'm sure it was hard to mimic feeling the strings with no strings, especially bends and stuff, but for people who have done it their whole lives I'm sure it was just a minor inconvenience haha
Something Something There's a video with kirk playing master of puppets without james and james is singing. But james couldn't remember the lyrics without playing his guitar. It's muscle memory
Max Lu thats sounds like a cool vid ill look it up
Max Lu Link?
Max Lu whats the name of the video?
I love how James does the head-whip thing just out of habit to get his long hair out of his eyes that isn't there anymore. He's so into the original song he's transported back to 1986.
I feel like this will be me when I’m older I’m 20 and I’ve had long hair since I was 16 and been “whipping it” out of my face ever since lol maybe when I have short hair again I will have this “habit” and my wife and kids will look at me weird😂
Robert's bass almost lying on the floor 😮 how can he play in such a position, impressive 😲
St. Anger drums right there...
Maybe the crash and china cymbals on the stands were screwed on to tight.
@@tieukhavu8832 nah it's just that there's 2 of the same cymbal on top of each other to mute the cymbal.
@@paradigmshiftz7 I once tried playing on tight screwed cymbals. It was not good. It felt cramped
@@tieukhavu8832 I know but I wasn't talking about *that* I was saying that there's 2 cymbals stacked on top of each other, that's why they sound muted.
Yep
1:08 - 1:24 Imagine playing the game and you see Lars doing this at his kit while your playing the song. XD
Imagine that being the way his character reacts when you fail at the song. xD
+Kidde. XDDD
DeltaOracle257 haha
XD hahahaha
@@KidKat__that would have been a sick little Easter egg in the game
Never seen James having so much fun doing something before
I remember when I saw Rob do the spin the game and immediately thought, wow! I've seen him do that live and this totally nailed it, little did I know this was why :-P
james looks so odd with a strat-style guitar...
And Kirk looks weird using an Explorer. I look weird playing a bass over $1000.
Damn. Rob must be dizzy after spinning like that.
Probably why he does it on the last song. Uses the encore time to recover
Must be weird lip sinking to yourself 30 years ago.
Jack King yh
I think it’s awesome
It’s awesome, but a little weird.
Lip sink
Not weirder than lip sinking to anyone however long ago
James is having fun.
2:05 They should have this kind of camera shot in live concerts too, would be cool to watch Lars like this while doing double bass :)
Nah, people would notice he can't keep a steady tempo, and they would shit on him even harder
@@sethwell2552 He could, trust me

"im a fast learner" HE WROTE THE SONG WYM
they have over 100 songs man.. give the man a break
And they hadn’t played The Shortest Straw in years. I wish they’d play it more, great song
@@davesargent8748 I really can't understand why people don't understand the concept of not playing a song for years and then having the re-learn it.
Also playing the most rhythmic complicated metallica riff without a click to lead into it is seriously difficult. I'm suprised it only took that many takes. There's a reason why live there's always a 4 count at the top of a song.
@@DJ_Mooster its the fact he should of been prepared instead of just saying fuck it and wasting people's time
Not quite my tempo
shut the fuck up
+Cristian Vikernes overreaction?? XD
Cristian Vikernes are you a rusher, or are you a dragger, or are YOU GONNA PLAY ON MY FUCKING TIME
Lars Janse it is to me.
It depends on the song you want to play.
Kirk always be the underated musician on this band... Sad but true!!!!
he's not under rated he's what made Metallica great with with his melodic solos and classical guitar under tones it sets Metallica apart because of kirk
Something Something Im agree with you, but I mean lars and james take all the decisions in the band and everybody knows lars is not a great musician as Kirk
cabox1986 true
which song at 4:56
abhishek kumar master of puppets
4:12 hetfield still can sing in E tuning! One more live, please ;-;
I think two hours on stage would kill his voice and I don't think he wants to lose it again like he did when he was recording the black album. But it would be cool to see them play and sing in standard again.
it's playback dummy
LuigiLRBA in this part, he sings! I know that is a playback!
i thought he lost his voice while on the tour for the black album not when he was recording
which song at 4:56
5:15 without strings xD
which song
MY GOD ITS MASTER OF PUPPETS!!!
@@adktherookieguitarist442 megadeth fan confirmed
Rob is so awesome, he can play the bass without even holding it!
Lmao its a trip to see James "lip synch" master of puppets to his young voice hahaha crazy
AND playing a Schecter guitar with no strings on it!
Hahaha for real.!!!
+Victor Sanchez If only he still sounded like that.
+stinkydo0d he sounded like that in their early years because he was pushing his vocals so much and eventually he stopped doing that because it could cause damage to his vocal chords
guitarmaster 15 Yeah. I know he can still do that, but he doesn't wanna ruin his voice. And frankly, neither would I.
who are these posers playing fake guitars ?

@veeti r/woosh
@veeti no u
@veeti dude stop being as toxic as ninja on heroin
Srsly
Im not "autist"
They need a brand new Guitar Hero Metallica with every album they’ve ever made up to date. You should also get the option to play studio version or concert version. And if you select concert version, it’ll play the concert in the background like in rockband
With how meticallica has been taking their music out of the rock band store, it's never gonna happen.
Dios te escuche hermano
That would be horribly expensive and leave like no room for profit.
Metallica has well over 100 songs in those 10 albums, 144 if I remember, even if you made only three difficultys, easy, medium, and hard, you still need to do that for, drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. Basically it would end up like Cyberpunk 2077, far too over ambitious for it's own good, glitchy as hell, and over all just doesn't work. Also you would need the Metallica members to record all of that which would be a chore to schedule because they still need to do touring, getting them to do it at all would be a chore on its own
@@vDeadbolt THEY ADDED A NEW METALLICA SONG \M/
Showing that even Professionals can still make mistakes, MetllaicA are awesome yes, but they are still human
I wouldn't consider Lars Ulrich a professional, he's lost it...
***** Or rope.
***** You know who doesn't make mistakes? Dave Mustaine.
FusedPower lol yes
***** He is a good drummer, but not like before
I think people are giving too much shit for Lars in this case. They're playing an old song as they mentioned, one they probably haven't played in decades (I might be wrong but somebody mentioned).
You try and learn the intro like that
+mt2oo8 The timing in that song is fucked up as hell anyways. I give him credit for relearning it that fast honestly
+Justin Rios no he uses the same drum line for every song ha
Can someone explain this to me. I am not familiar with why people hate Lars and all this drumming hate and stuff. Please
you're wrong, in a lot of shows they has this song at his setlist
really? umm most bands like this only play there greatest hits. im sure he plays this every concert or every other lol.
To be fair, having to play along with a track in a funny time signature with NO COUNT IN is borderline impossible.
To be an Guitar Hero employee to see a free Metallica show with them reenacting their performance live in person
First off, he has no intro beat to follow, the song just starts up so he had to be lucky just to start on the first beat. Secondly, it's The Shortest Straw, Metallica doesn't play that song very often so I'd understand if he wasn't exactly familiar with every single beat. Thirdly, Metallica plays the song differently live than they did in the studio, that's probably why he fucks up at the end, I don't blame him for that.
ok
Fourthly, Lars Ulrich sucks at drumming and he should be better than this. You know that. I shouldn't have to tell you. He's supposed to be a professional, and he doesn't act like one at all. He doesn't practice nearly enough and it shows. He started playing 35 years ago or something. I don't care if he hates it now or whatever, he has a responsibility to his fans to either attempt to do it properly or not at all.
6:17 I bet Robert had to have been dizzy as fuck after spinning like that. 😆
Must've continued playing in place til his daze wore off
Even when their doing Mocap, they give it their all. I fucking love Metallica.
0:47 "this going straight to CZcams"
yes Lars, yes it did :)
James playing on Schecter Omen 6... With no strings... HE IS AWESOME!
I had one of those and hated it so much I sold it off
@@Chudchanning why what was wrong with it
Had a giant border around the pickup right where I usually would put my hand, so the corner would jab me in the palm. the pickups also sounded like shit plugged in. I think the neck was kind of fat too which went against my preferences. It was just all around uncomfortable to play and I didn't feel like keeping it around if I wasn't gonna play it. Ended up getting an oktober wraith afterward that's pretty nice
@@Chudchanning Look what you become being good with Omen 6
Ironically it's best purpose is being a non functional guitar
Only if he sang like that again.
he did :C
Gábor Botos No he didn't
For me, the best Hetfield voice was in 1989 (Live in Seattle is the best live of Metallica...)
Matteo Vitali For Everyone it was thtat one :D
His voice has changed, he can't go back to singing like that if he wanted to.
When Lars actually started to nail it, it sounded pretty good
I love how James done the most he could to make it seek like a real live concert❤❤🤘
It sounds like someone is building a shed in the background... I bet it's Lars
looks like fantastic four costumes :D
That slow ass countdown into the song with a different time signature fucks me up too lol
4:17 perfect for my guitar skill
Still wondering what shirt that guy was wearing
It's a Danzing t-shirt
Megadeth I bet
Nickelback
Megadeth 😆
Megadeth
First off they should have designed a click track that was at the same tempo as the song not some dude counting off 3, 2.....1, GO! (see what I did there? :P ) It's pretty hard to feel your way through non rhythmic "dead zones" ESPECIALLY at the beginning of the song without a metronome or time keeper. You can tell cuz once he got into the song he nailed it from there. Not to mention this is like one RANDOM ASS song in a giant catalogue of songs. Might have been years since he last played it. Duh. Having said that nice job Lars!
Jesus christ finally someone says something clever :P thats you
I appreciate it dude gets annoying when people try to bury lars on youtube all day long. kinda pathetic actually.
By click track do you mean a metronome count in?
Yes
I would consider this a win more than a fail considering they haven't played the song live in like 20 years. So basically he's playing a song he doesn't know and after 3 tries he can play the entire thing. That's pretty impressive.
Legends say Trujillo is still spinning there
Been playing drums for 30 years, and is still awesome to get on there and go at it on Expert And rip it up, that feeling never gets old whether on stage playing in front of people or at home in the living room rocking out lol
The only thing I wish is that Cliff was still here... :'(
There aren't sensors in the drums, this is all about motion capture. The pads on the drums are mutes so they're not deafened during shooting. Same as a lot of real music videos.
mettalica will forever go down as my all time favorite band
The greatest of all drum lessons i have ever put my eyes on!
Couldn't they give him a metronome? Or at least let someone count in in the right tempo?
Maybe they didn't ask for one or didin't want one
Alejandro Serrano Why would they do that though?
5:10 Air strings! xD
xD
It’s funny watching them it’s like they are playing with real strings
and still feeling it
You can actually see James’ face going like this during master of puppets haha I love GH Metallica \m/
Who knew that this would be great practice for Lars 😂
Lars learns the tempo in his own songs :D :D
Greatest air guitar performance EVER
I was in my very first music video recording the other month, and it was seriously tough work. It's really great to see how these behind-the-scenes show what ACTUALLY goes on.
Just ordered this game off eBay, I’m excited to see what of this actually got into the game
just imagine how awesome it would be if james still sounds like that...
I’ve always loved that! I don’t know why lol 3:27
Wow those zildjians sound fantastic.
ok that intro is pretty darn confusing. I don't blame him
2:13 shrek?
I didn't even know they did this. I've never even played guitar hero in my life. This made me think I should try it.
Actually impressed how after listening to it once it came back to him that fast and he was able to do it next take
imagine walking in on this by accident
They had to feel so stupid :DD ahhaha
Production isn't pretty sometimes lol
Kirk is struggling with a guitar with a fake guitar
just joking
Its not fake but knocked down guitar wkwk
“Let me learn it” YOU MADE THE SONG
I love how James just yells "Master" at the camera
I know what Lars was thinking, he thought: damn why did I have to compose something so difficult?
Looks like they had a fun as fuck day
It's funny watching them jam out with no strings
This is the game that made me a metallica fan, first time playing ONE in GH3 I failed at the solo but really like the song overall and then years later I found out they had a game and I could play their hit songs. Hearing master of puppets, Enter Sandman even Frantic I knew these guys were total badasses.
Drumming is easy...when you're a drummer.
+Imageartists Playing guitar is easy when you're a guitar player.
fucking is easy...when you are a fucker
+kapoios. gr loooool
+Imageartists Lars is a drummer, he stressed several times before doing the motion capture that he hadn't practised The Shortest Straw in a long time because it is one of those songs they rarely play live so he needed to take some time to go back and practise some of his older stuff. A majority of the other songs on the set list for the game he was absolutely fine with.
+Imageartists Trolling is easy...when you're a troll.
5:22 Kirk is all 'this is so fucking stupid' lmao
He played a stringless guitar with a pick.😂
Seeing this James and hearing his old voice at the same time is so trippy
beautiful master piece i remember begging for the game and played 24/7 and still do to this day
Their best live performance since the '80!
I see many people complaining and saying things like "poor of him" or "he's one of the worst famous drummer ever" when the things are simple, he couldn't be an amazing drummer, but he has a lot of experience, what has happened here?, PLAYING A SONG LIVE IS FASTER THAN THE ONE RECORDED, THEY HAVE ANOTHER TEMPO, LARS HAVE PLAYED SHORTEST STRAW LIVE FOR MANY MANY YEARS, SO IS OVBIOUS THAT WHEN HE TRIE TO PLAY THE RECORDED ONE IS GOING TO BE CONFUSING AT FIRST, HE JUST WOULD NEED TO MARK THE TIME, HE DID, AND HE CONTINUED PLAYING IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM...
actually you should play your songs at the same tempo at all times. in the studio and live. his problem was that he just didn´t count the right measures
klauskarlkraus Not necessarily. Listen to Fade to Black live in 2008, its slowed down more than the recording, and it works. You don't need to replay the exact same tempo, as Kirk has said, the goal of playing live is not to play an exact replica of the recording, if Metallica did that, they would not be half as popular/requested for live shows. Plus, 3, 2, 1 Go is not a good countdown for song that requires the drums on the first beat. How about you give him a click track? For a drummer, they set the tempo, either just by themselves playing the song, or by playing to a metronome. Trying to match the tempo to a recording straight away is extremely hard to do, try it sometime, and you will see.
klauskarlkraus No actually you shouldn't. But you can play it at whatever tempo you want, just no too much faster or slow to the point where it changes the song. For instance, Lars plays the drums the Nothing Else Matters to where it butchers the song.
The guys in the video game actually behave like them originals. It's crystal clear to me but surprises me everytime I come back.
When Lars has to learn one of his own bands songs
