06.26.14 | Wait, Ulrich is underrated according to this guy? Has he ever seen/heard them live? |
erizen826
06.26.14 | ^ exactly |

06.26.14 | Ulrich is not that bad, c'mon guys. I mean, he's pretty bad, but i've actually seen them live twice and he gave a solid performance. |
BMDrummer
06.26.14 | I'm not saying he's horrible or anything like that, but compared to a guy like Dave Lombardo, he's really lost the plot of being a m/ drummer. |
Faraudo
06.26.14 | Yeah, I mean, we're talking about a guy who made a really great record with some good drum parts like ...And Justice For All, but we're also talking about a guy who made Load, Reload and St. Anger so, I get your point. And of course, Lombardo is a beast. |

06.26.14 | Ringo isn't even "the Ringo" of anything, so this was just a facepalm from the jump |
erizen826
06.26.14 | Yeah, Ulrich's okay. But he's hardly an underrated genius like Ilejay claims. |

06.26.14 | I don't even know what he means but lol |

06.26.14 | "the Ringo of Metal..." what does that even mean ? |

06.26.14 | Ringo = lucky mediocre drummer in an amazing band
Ulrich = lucky mediocre drummer in an amazing band
Sounds about right, though Lars at least co-wrote better songs than Octopus's Garden. |

06.26.14 | Um this isn't an original expression, people have been saying this phrase for years |
SIMBOLIC
06.26.14 | I think ringo was great. Wasn't particularly techinical but his drumming was smart and varied depend in the feel of the song. Miles above lars |
Onirium
06.26.14 | Lars Ulrich is definitely the most overrated drummer in metal. Actually Metallica is one of the most overrated bands of all time imo. Ringo was not a great drummer but his legacy is incredible |
conesmoke
06.26.14 | What even is a lars? Pft |
SCREAM!
06.26.14 | " But he's hardly an underrated genius like Ilejay claims."
But Ilejay might be the only drummer worse than Lars who made it into a big metal band sooo |
XingKing
06.26.14 | This is so lol worthy. What a joke |
Faraudo
06.26.14 | I don't think the guy is a bad drummer at all, he just happens to be involved in the making of the
least creative album of the last 10 years. |
KjSwantko
06.26.14 | 30 years later and he still can't play that part in One |
XingKing
06.26.14 | He's not a bad drummer but he definitely dragged the album down and made it shittier than it needed to be. Not his fault, but still |
Faraudo
06.26.14 | I'm pretty sure that the guy can write competent parts, if the direction of the album is acceptable, and not a Black album carbon copy. |
erizen826
06.26.14 | Ilejay has chops. He was on both of the CoD songs Avenged did and he was actually pretty good on them. |
Eggvander
06.27.14 | as someone put it very accurately : "Lars Ulrich : The only drummer who got progressively worse with every album in his career" Also on a human level he just seems like the biggest dick alongside Axl fucking Rose. Fuck off Lars and all hail Bill Bailey. |
laughingman22
06.27.14 | oh calling him the Ringo of metal was suppose to be a complement -___- |

06.27.14 | "I think ringo was great. Wasn't particularly techinical but his drumming was smart and varied depend in the feel of the song. Miles above lars"
I agree with this. Dude wrote some very interesting parts at times. |
Insurrection
06.27.14 | funny how this guy is literally the only modern metal drummer worse than lars ulrich |
