Lars Ulrich


HeavyMetalPoisoning

I shit on Lars a lot, and fuck it I'm about to do it again. I can't think of a single drummer in all of metal who comes close to his level of shit. If you want to defend him, cool. Name a worse drummer in a major metal band.


JustHereForRiffs

Say what you will, he is without a doubt one of the drummers of all time.


Routine_Condition273

Why do people not like him?


HeavyMetalPoisoning

Mostly his ability (lack of ability) on the drums. He also comes across as a pompous prick, trying to release the names of people who downloaded their albums to publicly shame them (you know, fans of his own band but whatever), things like that. Ultimately though, it's not even that I dislike him. I just find his drumming basic and boring.


Free-Combination-773

He's not musician, he's manager with big enough ego to go on the stage with band he works with.


karelinstyle

Hilarious that bob rock was their bassist for a bit


MelodicMasterpiece67

Not even close


CompetitiveFold5749

He's the Ringo of the band.


Cropine

That's insulting to Ringo


cellocaster

More like Meg White


Socialist_Metalhead

Me. I tried learning music when I was 16 to play metal and gave up after a week.


Autismetal

I was thinking me. The only instrument I play is viola and I’m out of practice. My actual songwriting is electronic, using an open-source sheet music program.


Ciprich

Here's a hint E

Everyone knows Primus sucks

Hair metal fucking sucks ass, but Nikki Sixx seems to be pretty fucking awful when he actually does play….


1NKYA

People will say stuff like hair metal sucks but will have a connipshit and foam at the mouth when you say Rob Halford cant sing.


MelodicMasterpiece67

Who the fuck says Rob Halford can't sing?


1NKYA

Granny screeching isn’t singling last time I checked, rob def took a page out of yoko’s book


MelodicMasterpiece67

singling?


1NKYA

He couldn’t even sing at his peak, just like no one can give me a response as to why they revere him as one of the best metal singers of all times


MelodicMasterpiece67

Because HE IS one of the best metal singers of all time. Bruh, what fuckin drugs are you on?


1NKYA

after [Dio](https://youtu.be/G4YgA0mSF0Q?t=10) and [Olof ](https://youtu.be/TYXzX5z7f6Y?t=501) lay off the gas station weed


-the-mighty-whitey-

He is widely regarded as one of (if not THE) greatest singers in metal history. The dude has like a 4 1/2 octave vocal range. For reference, that's on par with Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, King Diamond, and Freddie fucking Mercury. Music is definitely preference based, but basically everyone within and outside the industry is in agreeance that he is one of the most talented vocalists in the genre. Say you don't like his voice, say you don't like Judas Priest, make fun of the leather, whatever you want. Saying he can't sing is kind of fucking insane and isn't even subjective. Dude can sing.


1NKYA

Rob would be a nobody without the bands talent. Michael jackson would write his own songs while producing his own instrumentals being crowned the king of pop worldwide. Dio still had a voice 10x more powerful than robs, also had songs in multiple genres, [Dio at age 63](https://youtu.be/G4YgA0mSF0Q?t=17) so not in his prime. Olof Wikstrand from Enforcer has 10x more powerful then the voice of rob but 1/1000th of the fame, [another live vid ](https://youtu.be/TYXzX5z7f6Y?t=501) Now, [Rob in his prime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvMRkv2H6ho) ... theres more to singing than being able to screech at a high pitch.


MelodicMasterpiece67

"Rob would be a nobody without the bands talent." Funny you say that, because in his autobiography, KK Downing said when Rob joined the band, the rest of had to step up their level of play to match Rob's abilities.


killacam925

I prefer my lyrics to be utterly unintelligible thank you very much.


1NKYA

I like a mix, I get it though. Gutalax is too much for me on the unintelligible part though.


mackyak

Oh man its probably me. Im awful. But then right after me is probably Lars Ulrich


bigjfromflint1986

Anal cunt..the entire band. Amusing song titles and that is all they have to offer


WordyIIRappinghood06

Anal Cunt are Sublime for Pink Floyd fans


CompetitiveFold5749

That could be an Anal Cunt song title.


WordyIIRappinghood06

Bradley Nowell was a fan of the Mentors in real life. They're namedropped on "Thanx" of of 40z to Freedom. Seth Putnam was friends with El Duce Can't make a floyd connection


Floripondium

There's a lot of bands whose entire shit is either having a cursed name and cursed songs or "hehe we put gore on the album cover brrr" but then have literally nothing to offer


__--TSS--__

I mean their live shows were wildly inconsistent but they definitely have energy lol


PrimaryComrade94

Cant think of one proper, so I'm just gonna put Nikki Sixx because my mind is blank. Doesn't really matter, he's just a talentless hack with a stupid ego who cant sing or play bass. He gave glam metal a bad name and its honestly sort of ironic sad to see his desperate attempts for people to care about his music.


CivilFront6549

vince neil - the vocals of motley crue is the weakest element in all of metal ( and really i don’t think they are metal, they’re too fast for love )


Ogpeg

Vince sounded annoying most of the time. But ho boy nowadays his live performance is just hilariously bad. Just a talentless hack wheezing and sweating on stage like the fat-ass he is. To be fair Mötley fucking sucks, "glam rock can suck a cock."


Wernershnitzl

Based on sound, or personality? Because Ronnie Radke fits both imho


ToeJans_55

Marylyn Manson, so ugly


msv6221

Vince Neil


Dismal-Infection

Lucas Mann. It’s no wonder why his band quit on him.

EsotericElegey

Czarci Świt for sure


havenck

That skinny fully tatted pretty boy guitar player from TikTok in that awful prog band with absolutely no heart


saki604

You’re not talking about Tim Henson from Polyphia are you? I mean, it’s not for everyone but you gotta have slight brain damage if you think he’s a bad player by any means.


havenck

Oh not at all! The kid can definitely play; there’s no denying that. He’s just the worst musician in all of metal. There’s no heart to that ultra talented group of players.


princealigorna

According to Billy of Razorback Records it was me around 20 years ago. I'm pretty sure the recordings he heard though were the ones I made on a handheld tape recorder in my echo-y basement when I was 17, not the stuff I made with a real mic, and FL Studio, and Audacity about a year later. Those recordings are still rough, but at least there's an attempt at production there


Ezper145

me lol

tmfult

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say he isn't good at what he does on the guitar


Slake45

DM and Megadeth IS THRASH METAL. IMO there is no big 4 there’s just 1 MD


Slake45

Rob Zombie ehhhh.


MimeHollo2

??????????????????//


lasyke3

Yeah, he can't perform live for shit, it was such a disappointment as I actually liked White Zombie quite a bit


kasvsvecna

I disagree, seeing him live for me was a hell of a time
