People who criticize Lars' technical drumming need some perspective. He is, along with Hetfield, one of the most influential musicians in the past 40 years. And has been the vision behind Metallica's success. In that respect, he is without peer. While Hetfield is the "art" of Metallica, Lars is the "vision". He is a musical and artistic legend and deserves our respect.

Me and my friends, 15 years old in 1984 in Butthole Crick, Michigan never thought 'Fade to Black' was a sell-out song. We loved that song as much as any other on the album. 'Ride the Lightning' was for me in the early days was the first album I discovered smoking weed and letting the music sonically floor you. That album absolutely blew me away as me and my buddies took off from school at lunch to smoke killer weed and jam Ride the Lightning full blast in the car. At the time, there was nothing like it out there. Very soon followed the phenomenal Megadeth - Peace Sells and the Metallica's Master of Puppets right after. Metallica was the greatest band then and we saw them at the Kellogg Center two months before Cliff passed. They blew the roof off the place and were on a major roll that tour. They annihilated every city night after night. All the while Slayer and Anthrax filling the gaps. And then in the late 80s was a great time of so many thrash and death bands arriving. Fates Warning, King Diamond, late Maiden, Forbidden, Dark Angel, Sepultura, even Queensryche, early Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel, Death Angel, Flotsam, Kreator, man what a great time to be alive. Locally we had the great Thought Industry here. And Newstead was from here. I really miss the 80s. We were very fortunate to live through the entire metal scene. It will never return and it's sad AF.

TRUE STORY , with Napster I had been making audio cd's for work, I was a nurse in a nursing home. I took requests from some of the people who could recall the music they liked. A lot of Big Band requests and after the Napster melt down I couldnt do it for free anymore. I was so bummed.

Bill I love you but I wish you didn’t cut people off mid sentence 75% of the show. Mad disrespectful. You invite them as a guest to interview and you make it all about you. Chill, sit back and listen more.

Finally, Bill has a guest who talks more than he does and does not allow any interruptions. It is quite comical to see Lars employing the same techniques Bill uses to dominate ‘conversations.’ Lars is well known as the voice of Metallica because he never shuts up, while James is the creative heart. This was a very interesting session.

I don’t agree with all of Bill’s takes, but I do respect him because he seems to be one of the few people out here at least trying to call it down the middle. He doesn’t always agree with the left or right, so at least you know, it’s his real opinion because he doesn’t pick favorites so I have respect for Bill and Lars is the drummer for my favorite band so hell yeah I’m watching this !

What an amazing life. I was just thinking about and commenting on Metallica's good music and thinking about Lars in the unforgiven video looking like he's enjoying playing the music. I've always wondered how bands could have synergy and harmonize so well together. They must enjoy the music and process of playing it. I always wanted to be a singer since childhood and for several years now I change song lyrics to more be more positive and write my own songs out of the blue. It and music make life much more tolerable to wonderful. Thanks Bill , producers and crew plus Lars/Metallica. For having open back to and forth dialog and guests that you don't always line up with politically or spiritually and ethics wise. It's always better to talk and get along than just hate those different than you. 🙂 Spiritual love, good and truth to all of those deserving. Hopefully more come out of hate and into selfless love and getting along. Putting behind humaity warfare mostly in our minds to come into sanity! 🙂😇
