So, this is a rant. Take it as it is
You know when ppl say "they should replace Lars" bla bla bla yadda yadda?
I am this close to say, fuck it, let's do it, let's put the drummer extraordinarie of your choice with their ass behind the kit and watch.
I would get popcorn and ready myself to some second hand embarrassment. Why?
Because James Hetfield would eat them alive.
Imagine being in the 90s in a studio with James Hetfield in front of you, telling him what riff goes where, what riff is good or not. I'm laughing just thinking about it.
Just-- set aside the fact that none of the others would want to try such experiment, because believe it or not they have fun playing with their friend (shocking). Put this aside and IMAGINE.
Imagine what does it take to create with James Hetfield. And it's not a question of liking the replacement, James gets along with a lot of people, he is friend with a lot of musicians, and it's not even about the chops/skills/creativity.
There aren't a lot of people that could go face to face with James Hetfield and stand their ground. And there are even less people who James would listen to when it's about music, Metallica music.
Even today! He certainly mellowed out, he is more free, more comfortable in his skin, more open etc etc
Go and try to tell him how to create a Metallica song. Please, be my guest, I'll be right here waiting to see the response.
I remember Rob talking about how to approach James for certain topics, his techniques to do so (say THANK YOU to RT for dyers eve live) djkdjjjjd drop your secrets rob!! How did you do it? Share your mojo! Sjdjsjsjs
You see? Even leaving out band dynamics, friendship, trust and all that, who is a head shorter, danish and knows how to say "no" or "do this" to James Hetfield and not getting straight out ignored by him?
Mhhhhhhh, think think think
