Can you name a drummer of a popular band who’s worse than Lars Ulrich?

No. If Cliff Burton wouldn't have been killed, Lars was probably getting booted.

No way. He owned the Metallica name. He was also on point back in the day.

No, it was Scott Ian in his autobiography.

I haven’t read Ian’s book, but I do remember hearing that somewhere.

Kirk confirmed it.

He's never been on point, and why would Scott Ian lie?

Jeffacka

I can't argue that Lars isn't the weakest member. Cliff was probably the glue.

He is the worst I know

While never super technical, his drumming in the 80's was pretty epic and

Even in the 80s and 90s, people said he was the worst thrash drummer.

Yeah but there’s one obvious difference that I can’t elaborate on but we all

I disagree. Meg has a unique style but she’s fine.

I disagree with the meg white apologists. I think she’s just bad. I don’t think

I kind of agree that it works. But my theory is that that’s Jack working with

That’s fair. He’s kind of a genius. I also don’t mind that type of stripped down

She’s got the technical ability of a 7th grader playing in the school jazz band.

He sounds like he’s still learning how to play basic stuff. Do all your fills

maxpowers

I don’t know enough about drumming to comment intelligently about his skill.

Metallicat

Jul 3, 11:17pm

I know. Seriously, compare him to every other thrash drummer.

Jeffacka

He was absolutely right about Napster.

He's better at drumming than I am at spelling.

Yeah, influenced people to not copy his style.

Live look at Lars...

The question isn’t whether he’s successful. Obvious he is. But you can find 1000

Great. 1000s of robotic drummers... Very inspiring.

Ignore the robotic ones.

That doesn't make him a good drummer.

Makes him a great one. For the history books.

Certainly has his own style, that no one will every want to copy.
