      The Who were quite similar in that John Entwistle, as a bassist, kept the whole thing going while Keith Moon, the drummer, went off on a ridiculous, usually drunken, solo! It’s funny, I was in a band where the drummer used to watch me for changes when I was playing guitar! Some bands just have a weird way of clicking and not being what you’d think of as ‘traditional’.

    0:40 this has got to be the single most atrocious beat any drummer has played in history. Like you would be hard pressed to play a worse beat even if you were fucking around in the practice room. Maybe you could if you intentionally tried to make a worse beat. Maybe. The placement of the notes seem to be just about perfectly off in a way that triggers some primal, visceral reaction in your brain. It must be the same guttural evolutionary instinct that cavemen of opposing tribes were attuned to that made them recoil at the sound of their enemy tribe playing a drum fashioned out of slain mammoth skin, signaling a time of conflict. Its the antithesis to everything that goes into making a good beat. Think about the most perfect groove a person could lay down. Think about your reaction to it. The head bobbing, the feet tapping, the face stankin. Now take all of that and flip it on its head. The exact opposite of everything that was just described perfectly encapsulates this beat. As a drummer myself I can say with one hundred percent conviction that no other beat has evoked as much pure, unbridled hatred in me as much as this one has. It literally makes me want to blast my face off with a shotgun. Fuck this im going to go watch some clips of Nate Smith before I have a panic attack.

    The "And justice for all fail" Lars in studio counted 6 intro bars, but in the 2010-2012 lives used to count 8 bars, and the other member totally forgot about this. So I think it's a band misunderstanding and not a Lars fail

    The thing is, you can see in behind the scenes footage when it comes to composing and arranging songs, he knows his stuff and I could imagine him being a good producer. But when it comes to the drums, I used to idolize him and only when I started to learn how to play the drums myself that I realized that he isn't all that. Mean you can hear the hints of the crazy in their earlier stuff but the rest of the band was great at covering it up or making it work.
    But his crazy has just increased since then. The rest of the band is still top-notch(James vocals are kinda iffy but I remember hearing that he almost fucked up his voice singing in a wrong way so excuse valid) but his drumming is more crazy and the songs aren't made for it. Not sure if it is because he has forgotten how the song goes(which we have seen several times he has) and just winging it or doesn't give a shit and since he has been open about not practicing then not giving a shit is also a reason.
    One of my favorite drummers is Hellhammer, he is 52 years old, only 6 years younger then Lars and yet Hellhammer practice 2 hours every day and he doesn't miss a beat. That's dedication and actually giving a shit.

      1. We don't have the context of the full intro
      2. If you're right about the rest of the band coming in early, a professional drummer who has been playing for DECADES should definitely be able to handle such a minor hiccup better than stopping the whole song and walking away from the drumkit

    Lars has really let his drumming decline ever since, probably 1989, which I'd say was his peak year.
    Now, with And Justice For All, it's actually the band that messed up, but Lars could have easily, easily corrected the mistake.
    The intro riff they're playing has two measures, 8/8 and then 6/8, or 14/8 for the entire riff. The band jumps in on the 9th beat instead of the first beat. So James, Kirk, and Rob, are all coming in 8 beats too late, and on a 14/8 song, this means they'd play 2 beats past the drums, throwing everything off.
    Lars picked up on that and stopped drumming, since the band came in at the wrong point in the measure.
    Now, his easy, easy, correction, would be to invert the 8/8 and 6/8, by playing two 6/8s back to back. This would line his drums up with the band, and almost everyone in the audience wouldn't notice. I'm a drummer myself, and I've had PLENTY of fellow musicians jump in at the wrong part of a song. If they don't seem aware of their mistake, you just switch the drums up to bring them in line with the band. But that mistake isn't Lars, it's the rest of the band.

    The AJFA clip isn’t completely lars’ fault. They came in at the wrong time. However, lars made no attempt to recover and just gave up so that’s on him.
    Also why is it tabbed in 7/4 and 4/4.
    It makes more sense as 6/4 - 4/4 - 4/4 repeat

      Every drummer, including all of the greats, has done things like Lars during live performances or in the studio. We're all human, we make mistakes. I'm not a fan of Lars's sound or choice of grooves most of the time, but he's good. People just like to make fun of him because they're so butthurt about the whole Napster thing.
